Ain’t nothin’ wrong with classic steamed lobster, drawn butter and lemon. But if you’re too lazy to disassemble a lobster, don’t fear.
Here’s a list of some restaurants who’ve made waves with their shell-less lobster dishes in Tucson.
Batch Cafe & Bar
118 E. Congress St.
Who would’ve thought that a donut cafe and bar would serve up a mean lobster dish? Well it’s true. Try their Mac & Cheese + Lobster or their Knuckle & Claw grilled cheese with lobster (obvs), mascarpone, provolone, and some healthy stuff.

Besties Fish & Burger
14 W. Grant Rd.
Although it’s not in the name, Besties’ serves up lobster 4 ways. Their #4 Lobster Combo can be ordered Straight Up, Dip, Poured Over, or On the Side. Be sure to add a side of the Mac Bites.
For a Mambo No. 5 of seafood, order Captain Kade’s Seafood Basket with fried cod, lobster scampi, lump crab cake, two fried shrimp, two hush puppies, and fries.

Contigo Latin Kitchen

Dumb Fish at American Eat Co.

You’d be dumb for not starting off your food journey with Lobster Puffs from Dumb Fish. Just another reason to visit the American Eat Co. on an empty stomach.

The Fix

Guadalajara Original Grill
1220 E. Prince Rd. • 7360 N. Oracle Rd.
With two locations, Guadalajara Original Grill makes it easy to indulge. Their Lobster Enchiladas are made with pan fried lobster pieces, rolled into soft corn tortillas, topped with their diabla blanca chipotle cream sauce. And if you need a more belt-friendly option, they’ve got a lobster stuffed salmon.

The Grill at Hacienda Del Sol Guest Ranch Resort
5501 N. Hacienda Del Sol Rd.
Start your morning off like a rockstar: with Lobster Scramble Eggs, made with mascarpone cheese, and scallions, served with breakfast potatoes and toast. Leave room for wine popsicles.

HUB Restaurant & Ice Creamery
266 Congress St.
While the Lobster Roll pictured on the right is not officially on the menu, ask for it anyways. They’ll make it. The Lobster Pot Pie and Lobster Mac & Cheese come highly recommended for cheat meals and any day that ends in “y.”

Kingfisher
2564 E. Grant Rd.
Kingfisher serves up a Lobster Roll reminiscent of the kind of roll you’d find in a coastal city, which is really saying something seeing as how we’re in the desert. Their roll is made with Maine Lobster, scallions, peppers, celery, caper mayonnaise, and is served with shoestring fries and slaw.
MiAn Sushi & Modern Asian Cuisine
88 E. Broadway Blvd.
The new(ish) kid on the block has got your lobster needs covered. Try their Lobster Wasabi Cocktail, Lobster Potato Roll, or their Orange Jewel Roll.

The Parish
6453 N. Oracle Rd.
Sure it’s not in the traditional form, but who said you couldn’t enjoy lobster broth? Stick with the theme and try their P.E.I. Mussels with house-made lamb chorizo, lobster broth, fennel, and garlic rouille crostini.

Wildflower American Cuisine
7037 N. Oracle Rd.
Lobster’s not typically a diet food, but if it’s a Lobster Salad, you can’t argue with that. While the crispy potato is a little indulgent, enjoy the artichoke heart, grilled asparagus, and white truffle vinaigrette guilt-free. Note: it’s only on the lunch menu.
