Red’s Lobster Pot is another great seasonal seafood restaurant in Point Pleasant that I am glad I got a chance to try out before they close for the season next month.
The service and food here is fantastic. I was lucky to get a table at lunchtime as it looked busy. Gina was my server and she was so friendly and attentive. I opted to sit outside on the deck and you get such a nice view of the water and the boats going back and forth. I went with the lobster bisque (even though it was hot outside) and the lobster ravioli main course. Both were delicious and had great flavor.
I loved the atmosphere of this place and the staff stays on top of making sure everything is clean. They have a good menu and everything is reasonably priced. They also have a decent sized parking lot as well.
One thing to note for myself is as I was eating I saw so many lobster roll orders passing me that I know the next time I come I have to try it. All in all I definitely recommend checking this place out!

Treated to lunch and although I do not eat shellfish, I do enjoy fish & chips. My sister and daughter ordered the calamari and clam strips, lobster and shrimp roll, salad to share. For dessert we tried the Banana cream pie and the key lime pie. Red’s was busy and we did have a reservation. We were seated and waited 30+ minutes for the salad and clam strips and calamari to arrive. The salad was delicious and fresh. My sister and daughter gave the clam strips and calamari an 8 out of 10.
Lobster and shrimp rolls & fish and chips for me. The cod was fresh and I did enjoy the fish. The fries were hot and fresh. The side of coleslaw was cold and crisp. The banana cream pie was delicious and rich; the key lime was light and not too sweet. This was a pleasant treat and if you love seafood, Red’s is for you.

We arrived at Red’s Lobster Pot around 12 pm on a weekday, and the place was mostly empty. However, they had just opened up. The place quickly filled up.
The fried calamari appetizer was very tender, and I ordered the battered fish and chips as my main course. It’s not like what you get in London but it was tasty.
The service was good, we chose to sit outside and had a great view of the marina, and they had a small parking lot.
If I recall correctly, reservations are recommended, especially for the evening.

This is a fun place! Who doesn’t like sitting waterside in Point Pleasant eating seafood.The atmosphere is most typically, surf side dining, nothing fancy and Very clean, very clean. Inside or outside dining is just what you need after a day on the beach. All staff is friendly and helpful. The food is not to he overlooked though. We had fried clams ( not typical, more elevated in taste and freshness, cold lobster rolls were wonderful and the Cesar salad was delicious. Flat iron steak special was amazing and their typical fair – steamed muscles, clams, garlic bread and others Don’t disappoint. Desert -banana cream pie, key lime you name it . The watermelon cocktail was fresh and delicious. Highly suggest reservations!

August night without a reservation, so the wait was over an hour, which was understandable given the season. The staff was very friendly and welcoming once we got seated. The lobster rolls were tasty, though served on a hot dog bun (not the best we’ve ever had, but still enjoyable). Overall, it was a fun experience, and while it’s probably a one-and-done visit for us, it’s definitely worth trying if you’re in the area.

(1st time there was amazing) they sat us at the “VIP TABLE” A little bit of a wait (1 hour 30 minutes) but well worth it in my opinion – the surf and turf was delicious and the lobster was cooked very well. One of the better surf and turf’s around (way better than shrimp box with regard to a surf/turf) my girlfriend got the fish & chips and she loved it. Would certainly try again. – went there a week later with my parents because I was wowed with the food/service and unfortunately they messed up my mother’s steak. She asked for medium rare filet mignon but when it arrived on the plate it was barely cooked (we like red meat but this was borderline raw) we politely sent it back for it to come out minutes later with a char on the outside almost looking well done but unfortunately it didn’t look much different on the inside (still raw) from the first time they brought the steak out. From my own experience I can’t say they are consistent, but I’m Hoping this was a one time mistake as the cost of good quality food has risen.

After not being here for nearly 10 years I was excited to come back on father’s day with my family. My past experience was amazing although I dont quite remember what I had I do remember it being the phenomenal! Today we ordered Lobster Bisque, Shrimp Cocktail which were too notch and then had stuffed lobster tails for son(check that MP first lol!) Blackened grouper sandwich for me, and wife had coconut shrimp all 5/5 and we are huge foodies and are quite experienced in eating !! Dessert we had the homemade key lime pie which didn’t disappoint either!!

Drove 2 hours for their lobster roll and it did not disappoint!!! We also ordered the filet mignon, fried shrimp and scallop platter, fried calamari, dozen raw oysters, and virgin piña coladas. The fried calamari and platter were both also very yummy. The oysters were so fresh and love that they came with horse radish and cocktail sauce, it was a good combo. The filet mignon could be better. We initially asked for it to be medium rare and it came out medium well. The waitress checked on us and we brought it up to her attention and she offered to bring out another one. The new steak that came out was up to our standard and was medium rare. We appreciate the correction, but probably wouldn’t get it again. We were extremely satisfied overall with our experience. The price for everything was also not bad ($29 dozen oysters, $10 per piña colada, $16 calamari, $35 lobster roll, $49 filet mignon, $29 shrimp & scallop platter). Make sure to make reservations because the place fills up fast. We can’t wait to come back again next time. I’m already dreaming about the lobster roll!

The food was very good. I apologize. I forgot to take pics of our dinners, but I did take them of our appetizers.
We had peel and eat shrimp, oysters, and clams on the half shell. For dinner my wife had 2 lobster tails stuffed with crabmeat. I had the broiled seafood platter. Food was great.
Service, not good. Jenna was our waitress. Not very friendly. Treated us more like we were at at McDonald’s drive through. ” welcome to McDonald’s may I take your order” she never read us the specials. Half through our dinner I heard her reading off the specials to another table. She seemed burned out. Not customer focused. Like a waitress who has been working at this seasonal restaurant too long and was tired of waiting on Vactioners.
The tables are way too close. They probably about 18 to 24 inches apart. No private conversations there. Wine list is short and odd, and pricey.
Parking is Bad. Not enough. If you don’t make it in their lot, you will be walking for a while.
I would have given them a higher number for their review,it was very good, but every other issue brought the dining experience down.
One last thing if you make a reservation, you will have to leave a credit card. If you do not show up for the reservation, you will be charged$10 per person!! You have to do it on Their website, just another chance of your credit card being hacked on some website. NG.

Great place! Found them after a friend recommended this place. We came before the big storm this weekend and the manager said they only had outdoor seating available and if it rained they wouldn’t be able to move us. Either way we were seated outside and our waitress was the best, even the two gentlemen helping her.
We ordered the oysters. Calamari and the lobster bisque soup. And for entrees we did the lobster roll ( wished the bread was a little more toasted) and the stuffed shrimp
