Salty’s Lobster Shack & East Van Brewing

Ordered a lobster roll/bisque combo. My friend ordered a whole lobster roll. Taste wise is good, but just not really an authentic lobster roll nor a lobster bisque. There were barely any lobster meat in the roll, prob 85% or more tasted like imitations. The bisque had minimal lobster flavour and like one of the reviews mentioned below, it tasted like curry carrot chowder. With the inflation nowadays, I guess this is the best you can get locally without flying to NYC or Boston. Tried once, probably won’t order again for the same value.

This review is referring to the food truck. However, I believe their recipe would be the same…

I don't know if salty lobster is permanently in the brewery or if it's only during the cold season.
Anyway, the lobster roll was delicious and the mac & chess was a real filler.

You can’t go wrong with a lobster sandwich. This place does it right. Just enough mayonnaise that isn’t too overpowering and a nice soft crunchy bun that is not soggy. We also ordered the lobster bisque soup they offer and it was pretty delicious and paired well with the lobster roll. My only complaint would be that I personally like a bit less mayonnaise on the lobster roll. Overall very friendly staff when I came to pick up my order. I’ll surely come back again for another try!

Wow what an amazing pub the food was amazing the atmosphere was really cool and unique, the brew their own beer if you're into that kind of thing all the art on the walls is by a local artist and you can buy it too all very reasonably priced. They also have a ghost users pin ball machine and do trivia nights! Wow honestly I can say enough about how delicious the food was and service was very fast and helpful. I had the half lobster roll and sandwich (which comes with all dressed chips) and the lobster Mac and cheese. Both were so delicious some of the best Mac and cheese I've ever had the soup was super flavorful and the roll was as well. The roll comes either hot with garlic butter or cold with mayo and celery and it was cold out so I chose the hot option and had a really great time, I'll definitely be back!
