Menu for Frankie's Lobstah Trap Raw Bar And Grill in Tampa, FL

Food was delicious, had the crab artichoke dip, calamari and surf and turf fried rice. Lobster was cooked perfectly, steak filet... medallions cooked so they still melt in your mouth. Calamari was also cooked well, not rubbery. Service wasn't the best but wehad a large group. Server could have been a bit more attentive but overall not bad. I would definitely return as there wereitems others ordered that looked and said were delicious. Read more

Enjoyed the Connecticut lobster roll. Wonderful! The bread is so fresh and delicious. The lobster is tender and melts in your... mouth. Service with Jorge was incredible. Would definitely recommend. Read more

Food was better than expected. Had the yummy clam chowder-lots of clams and not overly creamy and thick. Chicken fried rice came... out hot and tasty and lobster tacos were a good deal at 2 for $11. Biggest disappointment was service - no one brought crayonsfor kids until asked, food took a long time and server was very inattentive. Otherwise, a nice addition to Bay Street. Read more

I've been keeping this place on my radar since they first opened because lobster rolls are one of my favorite foods. We came... here for brunch one Sunday to get some good seafood, maybe a drink or two, and give them a shot since our favorite lobster rollrestaurant is an hour away from us. We started with drinks. I ordered a drink that was like a Blue Hawaiian, but had some sortof Tampa take on Hawaii Five-O sort of name. The hubby ordered a French 75, his favorite. Mine was very strong! More than Inormally would go for, but it was still tolerable. I only had one since it was still early and that would've lit me up like aChristmas tree otherwise. We split a cup of lobster bisque since we both wanted to try it, but didn't want to have one eachsince it might be too rich with lobster rolls. The soup was amazing. There are chunks of lobster meat in it and it even hadclaw meat in it. The lobster rolls were good, but not the best I've ever had. I went with the original which is lobster meatwith mayo and lettuce on a toasted bun. The hubby went with the Cleveland style which was warmed up meat, with lettuce, and alemon sauce on it. To be honest, I didn't notice a difference in flavor except that his was warmer than mine. I ordered theapple slaw and the kettle chips for my sides. The chips were good, tasted fresh and homemade and weren't greasy at all. Theapple slaw was a nice bite with green apples, but I tend to like mine sweeter, so I could've used maybe a red apple instead forsweetness factor. Hubby ordered the lobster mac and cheese, which was awesome as well; lots of crab meat and the bread crumbson top are a nice touch. It's a great spot for lobster, no matter what kind you're ordering. It's a great little place to goafter you've been shopping or just want to meet up with friends. The lobster bisque was my favorite and I can't wait to try itwhen it gets colder out. Read more

There were plenty of restaurant options to choose from in this area and we are glad that we choose this one! My Connecticut... lobster roll was both delicious and filling. My girlfriend had a crab cake sandwich that was also amazing. We both loved thekettle chips, and the apple coleslaw was her favorite! The drinks were great and the bartender did not skimp on the liquor. Ihad a bloody and she had a strawberry margarita. Our server Amber was attentive and polite and we will definitely be back formore! Thank you for the good food, drinks and service! Read more
