Loved it! Great seafood, and drinks! Will come back again. Only thing would make it better was if they had key lime pie (they were out) and if they would of had calamari on the menu.

I’ve lived in Cape Coral for almost 20 years . This is my favorite seafood restaurant in Cape Coral. This restaurant has the best quality . It’s absolutely delicious. We have never once had a bad experience here . Service is excellent. Food is always consistent never to disappoint. I’m originally from Massachusetts so I am picking over seafood. Twisted lobster has the best fried clam strips I’ve ever had since living in Massachusetts. I’ve been to every seafood restaurant in the Cape nothing compares to twisted lobster I’m a huge fan.

The seafood here is great. My favorite was the twin tales and fish dip. Only beer & wine so make note of that. The beer on tap is very cold while is a big bonus. Inside is meh. Outside is cute but also by a big road. The food is the thing to connect people to this restaurant, not the people.

We visited on a Thursday for dinner. I had read some previous reviews saying the flies were terrible when seated outside. After a short wait (15 minutes) we were seated outside. On this particular occasion we did not have a problem with flies. Time of year, luck of the draw? If you go online you will see a couple of daily specials not on the menu. Thursday is a rack of ribs, 5 shrimp (grilled, fried your choice) fries, coleslaw for 14.99. Great deal, and tasty. I wouldn't give it a 5, but 4.5. We also had a cup of Lobster Bisque 7.00. Good flavor, just too thick. Not like soup, more like a too thick gravy. Lobster Cobb salad 20.99 was tasty and generous. Our server was excellent. There is a small outside bar area if you have to wait for a table. No spirits, beer and wine only. All in all a good visit. I'll be back!

If you are from the New England area and find yourself in anywhere near Cape Coral and craving some cold water seafood, you HAVE to go to the Twisted Lobster! Their lobster, beer battered haddock and fried clams WITH bellies are all fresh, delicious and the best. The service is astronomical, with the owner himself running around helping out whether it’s bringing out the food, refilling drinks, cleaning tables and making sure you are happy with your order. I think this is one of the reasons everyone so appreciates this restaurant. The prices of the dishes are very, very good with several daily specials to choose from. We were turned on to the Twisted Lobster by someone my husband knows. We are from Boynton Beach so are quite a distance from them, but every time we are in the area, we make it a point of going.

Visited while on our family vacation. Despite several recommendations from locals in our quest for quality seafood ; we followed the reviews and ended up here. The food was okay. Nothing to rave about. After appetizers and entrees for $200 we expected more. The reviews said the service was amazing but we did not personally experience this. I had a glass of Riesling and my wine glass was smelly and very off putting. My butter baked fish was very soggy and I felt I could have made a better dish at home. As a tourist I would suggest to stick to the recommendations from the locals!

We came here for dinner celebrating our 30th anniversary just hanging out in Fort Myers. I saw the reviews were good, so we said let’s give them a try. Oh my! So glad we did. The food is amazing! Fresh food and delicious seasoned to perfection. The customer service was excellent! Our waiter Christine was awesome she took great care of us. The manager must have come to our table about 3/4 times to check on us. We absolutely loved the place and will be back. We ordered food go, the lobster roll, let’s just say it didn’t make it to the hotel room. Just that good 🤣😂

While visiting found this place and absolutely loved it. Loved it so much that my husband and I ate here 2 days in a row. We had the clams appetizer, lobster roll (warm) and fried lobster tail basket. I like that the roll isn't big like I've had at another restaurant. Will definitely go back if in the area again. Delicious. Reasonably priced.
