Finally, lobster-on-a-stick has arrived. Lobster ME, the Las Vegas-based seafood spot and creator of the “lobsicle,” opens its first East Coast location in Westfield Montgomery Mall on Friday. The new eatery is part of a multimillion-dollar revamp for the shopping center, which recently added the upscale ArcLight Cinemas and a “dining terrace”—a.k.a. fancy food court.
While lobby-pops are a big attraction, the menu (sample) boasts crustaceans folded into mac and cheese cheese or tacos, chilled atop salad, and tucked into a global variety of rolls. There’s also a “not lobster” section with the likes of hot dogs or fish and chips. Then again, when you’re in the presence of a deep-fried lobster-pop, there should be no other option.
The eatery opens on Friday, November 21, and will serve from 11 to 9 Monday through Saturday, and 11 to 6 on Sunday.
