Fraq’s Lobster Shack London Review
Fraq’s Lobster Shack
London
Reviewed by Dee Ryz
In amongst the different chain restaurants and independent eateries on Goodge Street in London, Fraq’s Lobster Shaq definitely stands out. An intimate, family-run restaurant, it offers seafood from the east coast of the USA. The restaurant itself keeps things simple – it’s really stripped back with a lovely beach-feel interior (white washed wood panelled walls). It was quiet when I visited so there were lots of welcoming staff. The only downside was the volume of the music as even though it was quiet, I felt like I had to shout over it to tell the girl what I wanted to eat.
The food itself might be seen as quite pricey – roughly £8 for a ‘roll’ and another £3 or so for sides – but luckily the roll was as meaty as the price tag. I opted for the garlic Boston lobster roll and a side of sweet potato fries (and a small glass of their white wine!). What arrived was a large brioche bun stuffed with shredded lettuce, garlic mayo and lots of delicious lobster meat – definitely a success in my book! The roll arrived on a tray nicely presented with my sweet potato fries overflowing from their silver holder. The Boston roll was so delicious and my sweet potato fries were amazing and seasoned perfectly. I then opted for the Banoffee Pie dessert – sticky, light and very very tasty, a lovely way to end a fab meal.
The menu is slightly restricted but of course, it is lobster so you can’t really complain – unless you’re not a fan of seafood and then I would recommend you head elsewhere. You can even order an XL roll… maybe next time!
Open 12pm – 11pm offering takeaway and delivery, it means you can get your lobster fix any time! Definitely somewhere I could while a-way a couple of hours trying everything on the menu, because I mean, who doesn’t love lobster!? So I’d give Fraq’s a fabulous 4 out of 5.
Rating: 4/5
