The Lobster Trap

TripAdvisor Traveler Rating Based on 1,288 Reviews

Since its opening in 2005, The Lobster Trap has been Asheville’s premier seafood restaurant, and with good reason. The menu only features fresh seafood caught by trusted domestic purveyors and prepared in ways that showcase the delicate flavors and textures of fish, lobster, crabs, shrimp, oysters and clams. Located in a beautifully renovated historic building in the heart of downtown Asheville, The Lobster Trap features live entertainment from local musicians every night. To that, add locally brewed Oyster House beers, craft cocktails, seafood-friendly wines and Southern hospitality and you have The Lobster Trap's formula for success.
