What a ridiculously lucky thing to happen!!! We had a hankering for New England style seafood but with four dogs what’s the chances of doing that in Indian Rocks beach? This New England restaurant aptly named “Monstah Lobstah” has ONLY been open since November. The original place was basically destroyed during the two hurricanes with it being 5’ under water. I could not be more thrilled to have a New England restaurant to come to with my poochies. Thank you Britney and Robin for your hospitality!!!!!!!

We have been coming here for years the name changed and the menu along with management. The new manager on Thursday night (male) is very non personable. Messed with two of our meals which were allergy based and didn’t even care. Our waitress Cherie is hands down the best waitress I have had in a very long time. She is definitely an asset to your business along with Shonda that we meant several weeks ago. Hopefully you take our constructive criticism and make it better.

Bonnie was a fabulous waitress. The food was excellent and live entertainment out back was a plus. An even bigger plus, Santa's and their crew were doing a pub crawl; they were amazing.

Great place! This restaurant has a very welcoming vibe. Big and open and feels like they are getting you ready for some lobstah goodness and they are! The food was delicious and the price is right too! There’s a bar out back and music was playing as well. Cool place! Definitely be back!!

Hands down the best meal we have had on this trip! The early dinner portions are great and our waitress Shelby was incredible! The adult fish sandwich is big enough to share! The pasta was by far the most popular meal

Don’t sleep on the Monstah Lobstah!! One of the best meals we’ve had in the area. Grouper was great (my wife’s a pro Grouper taster), shrimp was good and the Lobster Poutine was great as well! Kyle our server did a great job taking care of us. Put this one on your list!!
