This is The Spot for lobster rolls! Superb in every way. Unfussy menu, quality lobster, excellent service! My friend and I were on a quest for the best lobster roll in the area and we have found it! The 7 oz roll is not inexpensive but I’d pay it again and again. I even like the gold plates ❤️

I had one of the best lobster rolls I’ve ever tasted here! The bun was buttery and perfectly toasted, overflowing with tender, sweet lobster chunks that tasted so fresh. The sides (crispy kettle chips, creamy coleslaw, and a lemon wedge for brightness) made it even better.
On top of the delicious food, the customer service was just as impressive—friendly, attentive, and genuine without being overbearing. They made me feel welcome from start to finish, and everything came out quickly.
Overall, this place nailed it on both taste and hospitality. Highly recommend if you’re craving a real lobster roll experience! ✨

The lobster here is truly melt-in-your-mouth perfection. I was thrilled to discover they opened a location closer to Santa Monica—such a win! In my opinion, Royal Lobster consistently serves fresher, sweeter, more flavorful lobster than Broad Street, Cousins, or Luke’s.
I brought my mom here for Mother’s Day, and she loved it. We tried the lobster bisque and the 5oz lobster roll—no fillers, just lightly seasoned, buttery lobster on a fresh brioche bun. Simple, clean, and absolutely delicious. It’s the kind of lobster roll you instantly crave again.
One tip: they often sell out, so it’s worth checking availability before making the trip. Hands down, my favorite lobster roll in LA.

Absolutely delicious!!!! Ordered a lobster roll and a Crabster which is half crab half lobster. Each role is the same brioche bun you just need to decide how much lobster you want in your sandwich. Obviously the more ounces of lobster you want the more expensive it gets. If you’re coming here, you expect to spend a good amount for a delicious lobster roll. Lobster roll with 5 ounces was $43 and the crabs are with 6 ounces $47. Each came with chips, coleslaw, and a garlic aïoli Service is friendly and quick There’s only a few tables which built up pretty quickly, but we were there around lunchtime.
There’s some street parking. But there’s also parking behind in the small parking lot.

Bruh!!! This place is LEGIT! No FILLER. Just the appreciation of lobster. My wife and I love lobster rolls, and this is our ATF. We were in LA for a visit, and she’s been eyeing this place for a while and decided to go. It’s small, but we came right at opening (noon). We ordered 2 3.5 ounce lobster rolls. It came with their coleslaw and chips. Many places we go to add filler (ie. Celery, thyme, mayo … which is fine) but this place add no filler. Just pure lobster cooked with just a little butter. The brioche bun was toasted perfectly. Besides the sides, it came with garlic butter that was perfect to add to the roll. The owner was awesome, and gave great customer service. Will be coming back when we visit again. Make sure to try this place when you are in town.

Royal Lobster has clawed its way to their third location, landing smack here in the heart of Beverly Hills right next to the iconic Rodeo Dr! Now you can flex that Goyard in one hand while demolishing their delicious lobster roll in the other. Luxury has never looked this delicious!
Not much has changed. This is still the best lobster roll I’ve ever had! It’s simple, no-frills, and all about the quality. Served on their signature brioche bun, it features 3.5 ounces of fresh, succulent 100% Maine lobster meat with a drizzle of hot, melted butter. The brioche bun is perfectly toasted and buttered, complementing the sweet, tender lobster beautifully. For those looking for more, they also offer a 5 ounce roll and the indulgent Big 7, which is packed with 7 ounces of lobster! And let’s not forget their lobster salad, which remains a standout, paired with their housemade balsamic vinaigrette! Absolutely fantastic!
I love the new space! It’s bright, quaint, and offers a comfortable amount of seating. Justin, the owner, provides exceptional service, making every visit an enjoyable experience!
Parking can be a bit of a challenge to find, but I’d recommend parking in the lot located right behind the store on the North side. Parking is usually $3/hr and free after 6pm and on Sundays!
