Leaning towards a 3.5 star. Decent lobster roll but way too tiny. I liked the sides though and the bread was one of the best buttered bread I’ve had. Good memories.

If you’re in Halifax and craving a lobster roll, Dave’s Lobster Halifax offers a tasty, fun, and scenic experience—especially with the Half-and-Half combo. But be ready to pay a bit for the indulgence, and don’t expect a hearty portion.

Dave’s Lobster Roll is hands-down one of the best I’ve ever had. The lobster was incredibly fresh, tender, and perfectly seasoned. They don’t skimp on the meat either—every bite was packed with sweet, juicy chunks of lobster. The bun was toasted just right: buttery, warm, and slightly crisp on the outside. You can tell they care about quality and flavor here.
The staff was friendly and welcoming, and the service was quick. Whether you’re a local or just passing through, this is a must-try. Worth every penny. I’ll definitely be coming back!

Worst lobster roll I’ve ever had and I’ve had many. The garlic lemon sauce was so overwhelming and the lobster itself was chopped into tiny pieces. The roll fell apart as it was so saturated with sauce. You couldn’t taste the lobster just the sauce. Horrible. Fresh. I don’t think so. The server said it came out of the freezer and it tasted like it. Steer clear. Definitely never going back.

Extremely friendly service. Lobster roll was pretty good but it was the cheapest of my vacation by far so it evens out! Staff were superb and pleasant. Nice little area to dine in near the cruise ship. Definitely recommended!

If you love ❤️ Lobster rolls then you came to the right place. Holy moly I ordered the half and half and it’s was heaven in my mouth yummy . Better than Pikes place lobster roll in Seattle. Highly recommend you get your hands on this when visiting Halifax.

This isn’t going to be an overly detailed review but we’ve eaten 8 lobster rolls so far on our maritime adventure and I’d put this one in the bottom tier. I had the “fancy” version (warm with butter) and it was maybe a big soggy, and just not as enjoyable for some reason. Maybe it was just the different style that I didn’t enjoy as much – can’t put my finger on it. It was also one of the most expensive (if not he most expensive) lobster rolls we’ve had on the trip.

I ordered half and half which is basically 1/4 lb or lobster, half local and half fancy. It was good, but I was surprised with how small the serving portion for the price of 35CAD (including 15% tip).
It was worth the try but if you are tight on budget, maybe look somewhere else. This is only a takeout kiosk, you don’t even get a table to sit. Anyway, it’s all for the lobster roll experience but I will not try it again.

UPDATE : The amazing owner reached out and I was able to try it again at their Charlottetown PEI location. SO YUMMY, like happy dance worthy !
SO disappointed. My gf just got back for the East Coast and i was so excited to come here and try this (i’m from Ontario) one of my first stops was Dave’s in Halifax to get a lobster roll and i was so disappointed i wanted to cry lol i opened a very pathetic lobster roll and slim pickle.. i sent my gf a pic and she showed me hers and OMG the difference. Mine looked like the people didnt even care and i wish i got my money back or had them re do it. Will try my luck at a lobster roll again in PEI… probably not Dave’s though.

Tried Dave’s Lobsters for lunch — definitely a touristy spot. I ordered the half-and-half lobster roll and paid around $40 after tax and tip. As expected, prices at the pier are generally higher than elsewhere in the city, so it felt pretty standard for the area. The lobster roll was tasty, though the portion was on the smaller side. That said, I think you can find similar-tasting lobster rolls elsewhere in the city without the tourist markup. Worth maybe trying once if you’re visiting, but not something I’d go back for regularly.
