I don’t think I’ve ever really had a lobster roll or lobster mac & cheese. So I really don’t have anything to compare it to. But I have had lobster many times and mac & cheese many times and I will tell you, this plate did not disappoint. The lobster is very sweet and tender, not chewy at all. The mac & cheese was very cheesy and delectable, really enjoyed eating that.
It’s a little on the pricey side, as lobster usually is. If I ever want to splurge again, and I’m in the area, I will come back.

We ordered lunch at the Trap Shack during a recent visit to Carlsbad. We ordered the West Coast Lobster Roll and a lobster roll sans bun because of a gluten-free need for one person.
Opening time was 11 am, but they actually opened at about 11:15 am. We ordered and the items were made promptly. The West Coast Lobster Roll was quite good with large chunks of lobster claw and knuckle meat. This was a very pleasant surprise. For the gluten-free version, the portion sizes given in the cups were quite small even though we paid the price of a regular roll. They could be more generous in their serving sizes.
The staff were friendly, if very laid back, which is fine. They understood the need for a gluten-free choice. It would be great if they could add a couple of gluten-free items to the menu.

The meal was amazing!! The chicken and fries were both fresh and crispy. But the sauce was what made this meal phenomenal. Perfectly zesty with a hint of spice!
It was a clean environment, easy to order, and very nice staff!
Definitely will go back!

Ok I’ll be honest, I spent $100 for the wife and I to eat at a nearby seafood restaurant and it was ok, just ok.
Then we ate at The Trap Shack… What an amazing experience. I will note that we took the food to-go because prk101 is ridiculously loud. It’s a sports bar, what do you expect?
The tri-tip and lobster tacos are to die for and the Carlsbad lobster tacos are amazing. We tried the Maine lobster roll and it was alright. We might have just over indulged ourselves on the tacos and just didn’t have the room to eaten another bite. Overall this was fantastic and I can’t wait to try it again.

Got lobster tacos and the OG lobster roll go down to the beach to eat. It couldn’t find very much lobster in there just brushed it off to be what it was so I looked at the reviews in the photos. I don’t know if they were short on lobster today, but it was disappointing. Definitely not liking the photos. Wish I would’ve taken my own photos of show

I was walking by before they opened and saw the lobster rolls on their menu. I had to have one and waited 20 minutes for them to open. I ordered the Buffalo Blue Roll and was not disappointed. Delicious lobster meat tossed in Buffalo sauce and stuffed into a perfectly buttered roll and topped generously with blue cheese crumbles. It was so good. I will be returning to investigate their Lobster Queso Tots.

Got a the og . Now I’m from nyc, so maybe that’s why I know better having shedded lobster in a roll is crazy and kinda disrespectful . And why was the lobster meat all red. It’s not the seasoning at all. Tasted like they added snow crab or some type of something… I didn’t even finish it cause it had shell in it . They offered to make another but it wasn’t tasty at all, but the french fries are very good. I feel like I wasted 100 dollars I was so excited to try it i got 2 big mistake. Never again. Forgot to take the picture of the shell, but they saw it.

The lobster rolls here are on point. I’ve always had a great lobster roll here. I don’t know what the hell these other complainers are talking about… Being a local, I’ve been here several times. Always great

Used to be Wicked Main Lobster – major disappointment in downgraded flavor. Lobster now overcooked, not as buttery but instead rubbery. Why replace the fries with tots? Like the tots were good but fries are classic? They don’t really know what they are doing anymore and it shows.

I love a good lobster roll. I ordered the OG lobster roll. It was delicious. The fries were also good. Next time I want to try the lobster grill cheese.
