We love dogs!
We especially love well-behaved and properly socialized dogs. We require all our canine guests to remain on a leash (or in a stroller) while dining with us.
Bad behavior such as excessive barking, agression towards guests or passers by, or (gasp!) doing their business on the patio will make them unwelcome on their next visit.
A peaceful, pootch-full patio is our goal.

Fine Print, FAQ and other stuff you want to know
Before placing your order, please inform your server if anyone in your party has a food allergy. This is especially important if someone has an allergy to shellfish – this is the Lobster Shanty after all.
We reserve the right to refuse service to anyone at any time. We follow McSorley's golden rule "Be Good or Be Gone".
The Lobster Shanty was featured on an episode of Diners, Drive-ins & Dives hosted by Guy Fieri on the Food Network. Our show was titled Wings, Dogs & Claws. The menu items featured were the Pulled Pork, Guinness Marinated Steak Tips & the Lobstertini.
The Shanty was also selected as a “Hidden Jewel” by the Phantom Gourmet.
Please use our main entrance at all times; climbing over the patio ropes is strictly forbidden.
For groups of 6 or more, for your convenience, we will automatically add 18% gratuity.
We are a seasonal restaurant because we have a seasonal liquor license. We close on January 15th and re-open on April 1st. We’re closed for 10 short weeks a year. Yes, we are open after Halloween.
Our patio chairs are brittle; some are quite old. Don’t tip in them, you may get hurt.
As a courtesy to our adult patrons, no one under 21 is allowed to sit at the bar. Also, once our kitchen is closed, the Lobster Shanty is strictly 21+.
Yes, dogs are welcome on our patio. There are even water bowls available. However, dogs that are aggressive, bark too much or are off-leash will be asked to leave.
Please visit our web page at lobstershantysalem.com, or become our facebook fan for daily updates.
We have a small selection of T-shirts, long sleeved shirts and hoodies available for sale. If you have enough time, we can even do special orders for you.
