lobster shack

Coastal crustacean eatery

A lobster shack is a casual, often rustic restaurant serving lobster and other seafood, typically found in coastal New England.

These establishments are usually small, no-frills operations—sometimes little more than a weathered building or roadside stand—where customers eat at picnic tables: We stopped at a lobster shack in Maine for lobster rolls.
