Dave's Lobster Halifax

What a great seafood take out located right on the Halifax downtown harbour front. Great lobster dishes and lobster rolls. Take out only.

Visiting Halifax for a week and have tried lobster rolls in various places. The lobster roll at Dave’s was terrible, overcooked lobster for 29 CAD not worth it. Had the lobster roll at The Canteen last night, same price and honestly a 100 times better. Avoid Dave’s this place is honestly not worth it.

Lobster still tasted fresh but it was just expensive for what it was and Chips were stale for someone in my party.

We were on a search for the perfect Lobster Roll and this place did not disappoint.
The fancy lobster roll is everything! It was perfectly executed. Highly recommend!

It’s a shack on the Boardwalk of the Halifax Harbour. The Lobster Roll was loaded with lobster no complaints be aware that it closes by 7: 00pm

I was very happy with my lobster roll. I ordered the half and half. I like the Connecticut style better but both were good. Lots of lobster meat. The server was friendly.

I mean its not bad but there is nothing to get excited about.very average. Bought 4 lobster rolls (3 fancy with garlic butter and 2 local). Taste was average at most. Lobster felt dry and my tongue was looking for that garlic butter but never to be found. Market price was 29$+tx per roll that day so my total was well above 130$+. I expected more for that price

These were our first lobster rolls in the maritimes and we were underwhelmed. The lobster was a bit over cooked but the dressing made up for it.
We were served by a guy who didn't seem happy to be there and having to include a tip felt awkward.

C’est cher pour un lobster roll à emporter avec un paquet de chips
Autant aller au resto un peu plus loin et avoir une vraie assiette avec lobster + frites pour le même prix

It's a food shack so no points for "atmosphere" but the lobster roll was excellent. The best we've had in the Maritimes on this trip.

Most of the menu is based on the market value of lobster that day because almost everything contains lobster.
You don't get as much meat in the lobster roll as other places, but these guys don't drown it in mayo. Butter, garlic, lobster, chives. Simple is best. The flavour is excellent. The bread isn't anything special, but still crispy and golden.
Long wait, but they do them in batches. So you could either be waiting for 10 minutes, or get it almost right away.
They serve Canadian chips which is a nice touch. Support local!

It's a bit more expensive than the prices I saw at some other places, but I liked the lobster roll. It was served on a warm fresh bun and wasn't pre-made so I could get rid of the celery and chives, which I don't like.

Definitely overhyped! Really disappointed after reading and watching so much about it. $33+ (29 plus taxes) for such a small roll was super upsetting. It came with 2 packets of chips Spent $66+ for 2 rolls but it was just a snacks, we had to go to another joint for lunch. Taste is good but the size is a big issue. One time experience is ok but definitely not worth the money.

Really good lobster roll, recommend the half and half. Market price at the time was $29 per roll, no markup for a gluten free roll. Recommend the half and half!

In Halifax of course you want a lobster roll and it was great all meat no fillers. Only wish pricing was little lower would have got a second one. Spent $76 for the two of us. But didn't notice any other location on the boardwalk where you just go up to a window and order, so it nice to see Daves Lobster providing these great meals. Nice picnic area around the corner with lots of tables and chairs looking over the water.

Delicious lobster roll, but the wait was quite long. They offered Canadian chips as well, which were great. I would definitely go back.

Absolutely fantastic!

Super fresh, juicy lobster and it was flavoured perfectly.

Skip everywhere else and go to Dave's

Thanks for the reco Liv!

So, it was tasty, but shockingly small for 36 dollars with tax and tip. I’d go elsewhere and hunt for a better value. I didn’t think to take a picture before, but check out the tiny box it came in.

The lobster roll was just woww! Really tasty and really good service. Only downpoint, it is a bit expensive for a lobster roll, but that's what you got to expect in Halifax. I definitely recommend to try it out.

There was lobster. And it was rolled. Honestly amazing though, exactly the Halifax experience you're looking for. Super nice staff too!

Best Lobster sandwich in the city by far! I had from many different places during my stay in Halifax and Dave’s was definitely the tastiest and meatiest I had! The price is the same as everywhere else so you can’t argue with it. 10/10 Lobster Roll

Well… we paid $76 for two lobster rolls, two bags of chips, an iced tea and a bottle of water. I assumed that the price of lobster was through the roof. But apparently it’s $10/lbs from what I can gather. Food and service were good but not sure how the price was that high. Of course, I could have asked about the price ahead of time so that’s on me…
