Most Disliked
While The Lobster Pot excels in many areas, some diners note that the prices may not be the lowest in the area, which can be a concern for those on a tight budget. Others mention that during peak times, the café can become quite crowded, leading to longer wait times for food and service. The limited dinner hours, averaging low popularity during evenings, may also disappoint those seeking late-night dining options. Additionally, the absence of a more extensive vegetarian menu has drawn criticism, as some diners wish for a wider selection. Overall, while minor issues exist, they do not overshadow the high quality of food and service.

We visited The Lobster Pot yesterday for a late lunch. All dishes were excellent, arrived promptly and tasted great. My daughter loved her Seafood Linguine, while my better halfs Thai Prawn Burger was fantastic. I really enjoyed my Seafood Medley too. Overall, an excellent place for lunch and decent value for money too.

Visited The Lobster Pot today after a brisk walk on the beach. Food and service were amazing 👏 I can definitely recommend the linguine. Plenty of room for my large greyhound, who got spoilt rotten 😁

went there twice in just a few days, the young staff were brilliant super polite. Luke delivered our food super quickly with a smile (even on a busking hot day) They do takeouts as well. i wasn't expecting much from a seaside cafe, however i was surprised, Fresh seafoods and opted for mackerel salad (very generous size - could have shared between two) friend had dressed crab, and the other mussels and fries - lovely outdoor and indoor seating, great location and simple fresh food menu.

Food was really good. Might not be the lowest price in town but it was totally worthy. I liked the sea view from the window too.

Brilliant light lunch here. The food was amazing. The lovely staff were so helpful and friendly. It was very busy and we got the last table in the corner, so go early to get the best seats and fabulous food.

**Dog friendly** we came to Barmouth for fish and chips on the beach but walked past this place and the food looked amazing. As dogs were allowed inside we decided to change our plans, staff were really friendly and food was amazing, we both had Crayfish Salad which was delicious. Only very slight gripe was my hubby originally ordered the half lobster special but was told it had run out, literally 5 mins later 2 separate parties came in and ordered half lobster and got it ???? Not sure what happened there and it was the same lad that took the order?? I will still give 5 stars as food and atmosphere was great.
