The Lobster Shop

The Lobster Shop in Tacoma is taking its already world-class weekend brunch to a whole new level for the holidays.

After you've piled your plate high, don't forget to save room for all the amazing sweet desserts that will be available. As the Lobster Shop's manager Justin Doll said, it truly is a fantastic feast that cannot be missed.
