Holy lobster overload, batman!
So after a long day at Universal, we had a large calorie deficit to fill. A friend recommended this place, and it also happened to be across the street from our hotel. Win.
Had 45 min to eat. Here's the damage between 3 people:
7 lobsters
4 dungeness crabs
3ish lbs crab legs
20ish mussels
15ish oysters
10ish oysters rockefeller
3 slices of london broil
+ sides + sides + dessert bites + ice cream scoops.
And that's w/ one of us who didn't eat any crab or lobster.
The server here was super nice. When I went up to the lobster guy and he told me they were being steamed and that it would be a few minutes, he found me when they were done and dropped off 2 more lobsters to our table.
Like people have said, it's definitely not the best lobster I've ever had, but it also wasn't the worst either. The dungeness crabs were so perfectly seasoned, they were as good as the ones I had last time I was in Baltimore (which were really awesome).
My only complaint was the totally blah-decor. And not in the kitchy sort of divey-by-the-sea seafood place kind of way. That would have been expected. More like a Denny's in the hood.
For $40, it's really not that bad of a deal.
Luckily the hotel was across the street, cause we definitely had to roll ourselves home. -

Stumbled on this place looking to feed the family. Not a bad deal at all, mostly because kids under two were free, and the kids buffet was only $9 if they didn't eat the lobster or crab.
Food was good, server was great. Big tip: order what sides you want early because they may take some time to get there.
We would definitely come back to this place -

We were looking for a great all-you-can-eat lobster and seafood buffet and that's exactly what we got!!! I myself probably ate over 3 lbs of snow crab legs and half a dozen raw oysters on a half shell, my dad ate about a dozen and half raw oysters and 10 lobster tails! We also ordered a couple bottles of wine that were on special and just had a great time.
Highly recommended and would definitely come back!!! -

I really wish I could give this place negative stars like some of the other reviewers stated.
When we found out we were going here for dinner I found myself super excited and looking forward to enjoying a great Lobster Buffet extravaganza unfortunately these expectations were dashed and set on fire basically. I had already looked at the website and knew what would be available on the buffet and just couldn't wait to have some of my favorites. I'll also give a disclaimer that I have been to multiple different Lobster Buffets before which were typically cheaper in price than this one.
The place was busy but not packed when we arrived. The location was basically full of different varieties of international tourists as their main customer base so they pretty much are just turning and burning customers and never expecting to see these people again. If it would have been up to me then after looking over the buffet I would have just left and went somewhere else. Unfortunately we had obligated ourselves to this choice so we still had high hopes to make the best of it and those hopes were also dashed.
On my first trip up I found about 75 to 90% of the items being completely empty. I was "OK" with that though thinking "I'll just get some raw items... steamers... and a Lobster and maybe a piece of prime rib". The raw clams were very concerning because most of the shells were empty just like someone had scooped the clams out and left the shells? I did manage to find one or 2 that still had clams in it and tried them however I wished I hadn't. The Steamed clams were also so overcooked that they were dry and rubbery and completely inedible. I also love just about any type of clam and can easily eat 3 dozen by myself! I ended up eating 4 clams total, 1 raw, 2 cherry stone and 1 long neck that made me hurl (literally).The first calamari, fried clams, and other items on the buffet were right out of a frozen food bag and were absolutely nothing special. The gravalax and smoked salmon also tasted somewhat old and gross, I wouldn't even look at the "Sushi" since it was even repulsing to view. Regardless of all this I figured I'd still get my value on the Lobster.. unfortunately I was sadly mistaken. The lobster's all had only 1 claw which was odd to me. They were old and overcooked and so tough that it was basically inedible. I could only get thru one lousy lobster and that was even a challenge. The only really tasty thing on the buffet was the Manhattan Clam Chowder but the ladle for the soup was too short and you ended up half dipping your hand in the tub just to scoop it.
Also did I mention how old and dirty this place is? The restrooms were worse than a 3rd world country. Even this one little kid complained about the gross smell and didn't want to use it. There wasn't soap, paper towels or TP and it was horrible. The tables were also filthy and had old gross bottles of wine with nasty greasy fingerprints all over them. Just looking at our table made me loose my appetite.
The point is if you want to blow $100.00 bucks a couple then go to Texas De Brazil or some other place of quality instead of this inedible crap. -

Two stars for SERVICE ONLY!
Disgusting is the word that comes to mind when I think about this place.
Lobsters were gross, someone sprinkled them with sand.
I tried almost everything else and it was crap, except for the Clam Chowder.
I've had lobster in Boston and there is no comparison. -

A truly sad affair to see a man's greed reach its cold hand into a man's wallet, pluck a hundred dollar bill he can ill afford to spend, and lay it down on the alter of Boston Lobster Feast. Spindly lobsters served up, one at a time only, thank you, to the saddo clientele of Boston Lobster Feast.

Nasty food. Lobster was dry & chewy. Prime rib tasted weird. Crab was dried out w/no meat inside. Many different seafood dishes had been too long under warmers. Inside was shabby. And the best news is a few hours later I became violently ill. I plan to notify the County Health Dept.

I'm a huge fan of lobster and when I heard from my cousin that this place was a buffet, my ears just perked up! However, if you're not a lobster fan, this place has plenty of other food for the choosing like their amazing london broil steak and prime ribs. It was about $40 for buffet which wasn't too bad considering how many lobsters we ate. The lobsters were a bit small IMO but then again, I was only able to finish 2 1/2 and was more than stuffed. Also it's good to go up asking for the male lobsters and not be surprised with finding eggs in the female. =P The lobsters were moist and dipped in butter just add great flavor to them.
Usually after a buffet, I like to hit the dessert table, but unfortunately this place didn't have a great selection of dessert for the choosing. That still didn't stop me from enjoying the most out of this place. If I'm ever in the area again, I will definitely stop by. =) -

This is gonna be a hard review to write because I need to differentiate between the awkward circumstances that led me to dinner here, the surprisingly high bill and the food which wasn't all that great but greasy enough to provide that beautiful twilight feeling we all love called the 'itis'.
First off, my coworker conned our whole office into going here with her ex-lover and co. so that she wouldn't brave it alone. Thanks, douche. Second, we were told that we qualified for the $5 coupon but later learned that ordering any other drink than water completely cancels out the savings. The wait staff is attentive, I would be too if everyone gets charged $50 for dinner, and the guy walking around dropping lobsters on your plate was pretty entertaining but I would not go back under my own volition.Listed in: The Out of Towner

Can we get some negative stars?
OK yes I know buffet food isn't supposed to be fine dining. BUT I do expect it to be edible. The food at BLF was NOT. Also while standing in line for a plate, a little girl came barreling out of the bathroom stating she could not even go because the smell was so bad.
I did order a steak and it was suprisingly edible, almost earning 2 stars! The star of the show should have been the lobster and the rest of the seafood....and OH it was, unfortunately it was the negative stars I mentioned earlier. The lobster and shrimp were like rubber. The mahi mahi was as dry as croutons. Actually it would have made better croutons on the salad then the soggy ones I had.
I have never complained at a restaurant but I felt compelled to tell the manager how bad the food was. I told him I would pay as I was not complaining for free food. I only asked for a comment card....well he gave us 10% off and promised a comment card. I also let the manager know I have eaten better food at my place of employment. I work at a prison....Inmates make the food! OH and the comment card never showed.
Basically, save yourself $32.95 (Per person!!!) and STAY AWAY! Eat at the Golden Corral next door because their food would be like fine dining next to this place. -

In 2009 when we went here during our trip to Orlando - no compliants awesome buffet. Seafood cooked to perfection.
In our recent trip this year to Orlando the lobster was rubbery, still had blue rsident on the meat, the crabs had barely any meat in them, and the crab legs were overcooked. In addition, to the horrible food the price went up $10!! We probably will never eat here again. -

This is an all-you-can-eat Lobster Buffet. You come here to stuff your face with LOBSTER. If you are smart and do just that, you will have absolutely no problem here.
My BF and I dined here during our recent trip to Orlando. I read him the reviews on this place and Angel's and we decided to come here because he'd already been to Angel's several years ago...
I'm not sure what all the bad reviews were about because we had a VERY kickass and attentive waiter. He was quick to refill drinks and even showed us how to quickly and cleanly remove the lobster tail with a fork.
Obviously they serve a lot of other food that is probably shitty, but, uhhhh why would you even bother looking at it, much less eating it?
IT IS ALL ABOUT THE FREAKING LOBSTER.
That is all. -
Review from Dan H.

I'll keep this short. This place has terrible food, and the standard price is $37 for adults! I could go into detail about the different stuff we tried and how bad it all was, but I feel like I've already wasted too much of my life on this place.
I do want to quickly mention that our server was really nice, but unfortunately, who cares when the food is garbage?
PS. It doesn't take much to impress me when it comes to food. I liked those shrimp tacos Taco Bell had out for a while. In any case, if you are looking for a buffet, go to Cici's or Golden Corral. Please. -

1) The Service is 5 Stars. The staff is all American, very friendly, very fast, very attentive.
2) The interior is 3 Stars. Low budget tables, chairs, and carpeting.
3) The food is 4 Stars. The food isn't prepared perfectly but USDA Choice Prime Rib and NY Strip along with 60 other high quality items shine through the lack of cooking expertise.
4) The value is 4 Stars. $37.99 for all the lobster, shrimp, crab, scallops (each prepared in a half dozen ways) AND Prime Rib and NY Strip, AND about 55 other items?? That's a great value! -

I'm not sure who is rating this place higher than 2 stars (max) because this place was pretty expensive considering the (low) quality of the food.
As soon as we entered the place, we were overcome by the strong smell of fish... that's not a good thing.
We were seated with our group and the waitress explained the buffet. They also had an ala carte menu if you'd prefer that option. As for the kids, they can choose from a kids ala carte menu as well as from 2 buffet menus (1 that does not include crab legs and lobster for about $9 and one that does for about $15). We felt like we were at a used-car lot because at various imtevals throughout the meal, our waitress would come back offering "add on's" (like a baked potato or additional vegetables) for additional $.
So, for the food. Some of it wasn't bad. There was coconut shrimp that was pretty good as well as the steamers (which were ok... not fabulous, but OK). The lobster, however, was the absolute worst I have ever tasted. They were all "chicken" lobsters (small) which is understandable at an all you can eat place. But I've had better lobster from the supermarket than what they were offering. They had a weird taste (especially the taste on the the claw -- yes, one claw per lobster; they tore the other claw off). The tails were very hard to extract from the shell and all of the lobsters were filled with "eggs" (red "balls" that had a gross texture). These were definitely not "today's" catch; and I'm not even sure they were as recent as "yesterday's" catch for that matter. Note that diners are only allowed one lobster per buffet visit. Not a big deal because you can just go back up to the buffet and request another.
The wait staff did a great job at keeping your table clean and offering additional napkins and wet-wipes.
Now for the price. We were with a group but we were able to get separate checks without complaint from the waitress. For me, it was me, my husband, and our 7-year old daughter. My husband added on a baked potato and my daughter got the buffet that included the crab legs and lobster. For the 3 of us the bill was $90 -- without tip! We've gone to Legal Seafood (WAY better than this hole) and have spent that or less.
I would not recommend this place to anyone... Ever. It's too bad, really, because the idea of a seafood buffet is great. Hopefully the next time we're in the Orlando area we can find something better. -

Service was great!!! Food was good, not great but good. Lobsters are very small but what the hell you can eat as many as you want so who cares how big they are right..... Prime rib was really really really undercooked or overcooked nowhere near perfect cause it was well on one side and raw on the other but cooked to order strip steak was awesome. i would def. recommend it to anyone looking for seafood in the kissimmee area. We got there right at 6 so we got the 5$ cheaper price for "early bird" which was 32.95 instead of 37.95

I'm giving this place four stars, because I have to take into consideration that it's a buffet...and buffet food is, well, buffet food. On the whole, the food is decent. I mean, all you can eat lobster and crab is good in my book anyway. The keylime pie was good, and my daughter loved the choco chip cookies. Our service was IMPECCABLE. Our waiter was Aziz, so if you go there, try to sit in his section. He's amazing :) Oh, and if you choose this location over the one on International Drive, it's a few bucks cheaper per person ($37.95 for dinner).

I'm going to this place dispite the reviews. Why? Because I know a lot of owners and managers of places that are reviewed on the net. If its your place you have everybody you know and all of their family write a great review. If its competition of yours have everyone you know write a bad one. In fact one person can create a fake email in minutes and write a dozen fake review every week. I would think that the owners of this place would fix the problem of overcooked lobster quickly and easily. Maybe after going I will write the next bad review. All I know is I had a 2 pound lobster the other day and it cost me 30 bucks plus tip. I'll give it a try....(wish me luck)......
