If you’re in search of a place to go for the best lobster in Palm Beach County, I’ve got just the spot. It’s All-You-Can-Eat Lobster Season at The Station House in Lantana, Florida!
This annual signature event is all about getting your hands dirty and your taste buds satisfied with whole Maine lobster. Live whole Maine lobsters are flown in daily to the restaurant, so these are as fresh as you can get!
The Station House’s nautical-themed ambiance, complete with wood-paneled interiors and maritime décor, truly enhances this lobsterfest. All-You-Can-Eat (AYCE) Lobster Night is a monthly event, held on select Thursdays through November, from 4:30 pm to close, while supplies last.
This season, the cost is $110 per person, and all lobsters are 1 1/4 lbs. How many of these do you think you could throw down?!
Locals love this tradition, and you can bet some regulars wait patiently for these nights to enjoy the best lobster in Palm Beach County. That being said, reservations are required and held with a credit card. If you cancel at the last minute or are a no-show, you’ll be subject to a $25 fee per person.
The first AYCE Lobster Night of the season is on Thursday, June 19th. With Father’s Day just a few days prior on Sunday, June 15th, I can’t think of a better way to celebrate Dad, even if it is a few days late. Make sure you are following The Station House on social media or join the Lobster Lovers Club to find out additional AYCE Lobster Night dates!
September 25th just so happens to be National Lobster Day AND a Thursday, so I hope to see an AYCE Lobster Night on this date! According to National Fisherman, September 25th was established as National Lobster Day in 2015 by Maine Senators Angus King and Susan Collins “to recognize the importance of this crustacean to the country’s history and culture.”
The Perfect Pairings for The Best Lobster in Palm Beach County
In addition to the main attraction, The Station House offers a stellar drink menu with craft cocktails, curated wines, and a full bar. My go-to wine pairing for lobster is a crisp Sauvignon Blanc from New Zealand. The Station House carries Stoneleigh by the glass and bottle. If you’re in the mood for a cocktail, I highly recommend the Peach-Basil Martini, made with peach Ciroc vodka, fresh lime, and basil.
Although your lobster comes with sides of corn and potatoes, The Station House has a variety of seafood appetizers and side dishes to deliciously complement your experience. It’s always a good idea to kick things off with raw bar items like oysters, shrimp, or jumbo lump crab cocktail.
Popular small plates include the Bang Bang Shrimp with sweet chili aioli and the Clams Casino with bacon, garlic, onions, and peppers. Whatever you choose, you won’t be disappointed. The Station House has some of the best seafood in Palm Beach County!
I’m a sucker for a roasted Brussels sprout side — and of course, fries. You can never, ever go wrong with a steaming hot plate of crispy fries.
Whatever you do, don’t skip dessert. Locals rave about the house-made sweets. The White Chocolate Blueberry Bread Pudding is a fan-favorite, and of course, Key Lime Pie is a must in Florida. Unfortunately, none of the dessert options are Shaina friendly, so I just have to live vicariously through all of you!
Did You Know…?
Lobsters are full of health benefits. Here are some nutritional facts to consider, thanks to Healthline.
It’s a great source of lean protein and low in calories and saturated fat when you stick to grilled, steamed, or broiled preparations — and maybe don’t dunk it in that much melted butter…
Lobster is rich in vitamins such as B12, Zinc, Selenium, and Copper. It also contains heart-healthy omega-3 fatty acids, which are said to play a role in both brain and heart health.
Lobster can be part of a well-balanced, heart-healthy diet. It’s giving indulgence and luxurious eating, with nutritional perks to boot! A perfect excuse to go for that third or fourth claw at All-You-Can-Eat Lobster Night as you enjoy the best lobster in Palm Beach County!
Want to impress your tablemates with even more fun facts about lobster? Here you go:
- Lobsters weren’t always considered fancy food. In colonial America, lobster was so plentiful that it was fed to prisoners and used as farm fertilizer. Now it’s a sought-after delicacy!
- They’re not naturally red. Lobsters are typically greenish-brown or blue in the wild. They only turn red when cooked due to a pigment called astaxanthin. Blue lobsters are extremely rare—only about 1 in 2 million lobsters are naturally blue. If you see one in the wild, it’s considered good luck!
- They can regrow limbs. Lose a claw? No problem. Lobsters can regenerate claws, legs, and even antennae over time.
