There is no question that I love lobster rolls, especially the ones where the lobster remains the star of the dish and is not smothered with an overpowering sauce or seasoning. So, when BK Lobster opened in Hoboken earlier this year, I was both happy and curious. After all, Luke’s Lobster tried to settle in the mile square city but closed after just few years in operation, their food truck seemingly more successful when showing up at Pier 13.

BK stands for Brooklyn, the birthplace of that joint that has expanded a bit. Their menu offers quite a bit, with limited choices for vegetarians (cheese quesadilla, Mexican corn, onion rings or the fries that I did not really like, not crispy at all and not always cooked all the way through), or, interestingly, for people who do not like seafood, they have meat choices like beef sliders or chicken. I already see comments about why you would go there if you are vegetarian or do not like lobster! What about if someone tou know absolutely wants a lobster roll and you are tagging along?

Anyway, I decided to try their Bed-Stuy biggie lobster roll: big for sure as it’s name indicates, the lobster is tossed in a butter sauce with a lemon dressing spread on a brioche bun. This roll looks very appetizing and they are definitely not cheap on the amount of lobster, with big chunks and even a claw overflowing the delicious brioche bun. The meaty pieces of seafood are perfectly cooked and the flavor enhanced by the butter sauce. There is lots of butter though and you surely need some napkins because it is messy to eat. But delicious!

So, overall, I was please when I tried BK Lobster. It is pricier than Luke’s Lobster but this roll is much bigger. Worth a visit!
Enjoy (I did)!
