Clean, tidy, no wait, great staff and friendly too.....
Probably the best fish and chips I've ever tasted! Food came out quickly, beer was cold and tasty, kids loved it as did my wife. We will return as I fancy the Lobster next time.... sit inside or out on the tables overlooking the Harbour entrance.... enjoy the sunshine whilst eating and drinking great food and drink and let the kids do some crabbing.... 10/10
This place we found through a recommendation. It was lovely. Amazing little place our favourite place here. We will definitely be back.
Great find in whistable, famous for its oysters and beer. We ordered plenty of oysters and they were all freshly shucked in front of your eyes. They taste fantastic and it proves to be great value. Other food like fish and chips were good and the fried oysters are also worth a go. The restaurant is next to the beach and it was a very relaxing place to be in. Would recommend highly.
What a great location to try out oysters for the first time! We loved the casual atmosphere and the fact we were able to order a couple of oysters to try with a drink before placing our full order … more oysters 🦪👌
There was a queue when we arrived as the weather was beautiful but we soon gained entry after opting for an indoor table.
They are dog friendly indoors (& outdoors) too which was great as we always have ours with us! 🐾
Due to the hot weather and the extremely unfortunate fact I was wearing a bright yellow dress, I seemed to attract millions of little black bugs when I was outside so it was perfect sitting indoors.
Thanks so much to the The Lobster Shack for making our day so great! Friendly staff, fast service and amazing food & drink 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
Superbly good fish and chips, with an idyllic view of the sea in the background. Besides The Forge, this is the place to go in my honest opinion.
Portions are good, and was delivered quickly after ordering! Made to order too! Only issue is that they're a little inconsistent in portion sizes - my partner got way more chips than I did, and we ordered the exact same dish. The tartare sauce could do with having a tad more zing, and the bread rolls are OK at best.
Atmosphere was a little flat, but then again, the other customers were of a little ruder sort than us.
My wife and I managed too finally get a visit here. We had been talking about it for years and today was the day. My excitement was not misplaced. We clearly choose the hottest day of the year. We arrived and was greeted warmly and politely. Offered a choice of seating 👍. Found a Table, downloaded the app and placed the order. All very simple. Our order was Scampi & Chips which my wife Really enjoyed and Loved, I ordered Cod and Chips, Mushy and 1/2 Doz Oysters. The food was served very Hot, well cooked and great tasting. My only criticism was my Chip portion size. It was 50% that of my wife's Portion but luckily with the oysters and mushy peas that helped. Superb vibe and the singer was very GOOD….. Overall well worth the 120mile journey each way.
Came 2 times in a row! The BEST Oysters 🦪 in the area! Also wonderful staff, views, location, and seafood! If your not from the area be aware you need to pay for parking and it only takes cash (coins) City runs the parking and the restaurant has no control. The restaurant only takes cards so they can’t make change. We will be back!
We went here once in August 2023, the oyster is fabulous, we came again in end Oct 2023 in the season for oyster. However, the oyster is very small, very dissatisfying… and we also tried the native oyster, it could be better…
What a wonderful experience. Seafood to die for - half a dozen oysters followed by lobster in a butter and parsley sauce - absolutely delicious! Service was exceptional - informative, polite and non intrusive. Of course the ideal weather - a balmy, warm evening - made dining out under the awnings a perfect environment. The sun setting over the Isle of Sheppey was a beautiful backdrop to our evening.
Nothing like fresh oysters and lobster. Well served. Swift service, made easy by the app. Beautiful view of the sea.
Not bad wine list.
No park at the restaurant. Closest parking is 5 minutes walk.
A short trek away from the harbour market is this gem. Went for some weekday lunch, and I wasn't disappointed. It was a lovely day to enjoy half a dozen Whitstable oysters and a Kentish lager. Service was great, and very friendly.
We stumbled across this walking along the beach. The food was absolutely delicious. We had the cod and chips and it was very tasty. Lovely music playing and a nice atmosphere. Staff were friendly
