It’s a seasonal crustacean most prevalent in Maine’s chilly waters between June and December, making it challenging to find the freshest quality lobster on off-seasons. We’ve done the hard work for you and rounded up Houston's top seafood restaurants with the best, biggest selection of lobster dishes on their menus. Check out our picks for the Houston restaurants you must visit if you love eating lobster.
