£12 weekday special moules frites sounded promising - as though they might know what they are doing. They don’t - the moules were overcooked mush, worse than a supermarket vacuum pack. Fries were alright. The salad garnish was fresh. I got a nice smile and an apology when I complained but no suggestion of a refund whether full or partial (cos you pay on ordering). Also, be aware, there are no toilets at the premises. The public ones across the road are ok.

We went in here on the off chance to have some lunch, we were looking at the menu. Cant comment on the food because we decided not to stay after a really rude female snapped back at us after we asked a question about the local fishing and fish mongers in the area. Moral of the story is, if you do not make your customers/tourists welcome, they wont come back, stay to eat, or give you a good review!

Best prawns I have ever eaten, my wife and I will not pass through without popping in for at least 2 pots each!Service can be a let down sometimes - we were in a queue and the woman behind the counter just disappeared off without an explanation (never to return), luckily a young lad took the initiative a minute or 2 later and jumped on to continue serving.Not a huge amount of space inside and no toilets.

Went on a monday it was closed. Went again Tuesday at 11.30am for an early lunch, they refused to take any orders till 12pm. Finally took them at 12.10, no burgers, no mackerel and no lobster,was advised they might have stock on friday. Staff were stressed and snappy with a million excuses. No lobster at the lobster pot....!

I'm not sure why this place has good reviews, alot of them seem fake, I'd be very cautious of that, plenty of other excellent sea food venues locally. We ate here last night, found the younger staff were constantly being shouted at and pressured by the the lady who I think owned or managed the place , bad atmosphere, the food was very average at best and over priced. Today we were looking for a tray of shellfish as you do when at the seaside, unfortunately this was the only place we could find that sold them, so we took the gamble and went back and used the smaller kiosk at the end of the restaurant. I asked for a pot of Cockles and Mussels mixed for my daughter as she doesn't like the other items , but it wasn't on the menu so the young nice girl serving us asked the same lady who we witnessed shouting at the staff the night before if we can do that but she got rudely told off for asking and said to just sell us 2 pots instead at £3 each. Instead of just having a mixture in one pot, could have just said no and let me make my own decision to buy 2 pots. This lady then started to talk loudly indirectly to us moaning that people don't look at the signs or menus and just ask for what they want, well how very dare a paying customer do such a thing. Sorry for asking. I feel truly sorry for the members of staff who have to endure this miserable dragon of a woman regularly, they work there. I can just walk away, never return and leave a bad review.I don't leave many reviews but I felt this was important for anyone looking to have a relaxing sea food meal, you wont get it here, cramped venue, rude owners and you better not ask any questions, God forbid.

Managed to get a table at Lobsterpot. I chose Chowder and husband had panini. Mine was a disappointment. My seafood chowder had lots of small prawns lots of cubed potato the fish was cubed brown discoloured fish. Not sure what it was. Did not eat it ,asked waitress what it was saying it was not pleasant to look at but she could not tell me it was 13.50 so was pricey .

The food was a mixed bag.I found the mussels to be excellent and my wife really enjoyed her prawn salad.The half lobster could have been better, especially at that price.Nice views of the harbour if you get an outside table.

We ordered seafood linguine and prawns in garlic sauce. I have never had a better seafood dinner in my life. The mussels were delicious and the prawns in chilli sauce just melted in your mouth. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!

Nice little place selling decent food cooked in a clean and tidy kitchen. Fresh and tasty, a little bit pricy for what it is, but definitely worth going to!

Sandwich for £13 - a few crisps, plan undressed lettuce ‘salad’ and a crab and prawn thin soggy bread sandwich with no flavouring. Get better in the supermarket. Battered cod bap with soggy cold fries was only slightly better. Go for a proper fish and chips instead.
Мои друзья очень рекомендовали побывать в этом месте. У нас была цель пообедать морепродуктами. Друзья были правы. Блюда очень вкусные. Фото конечно не передаст вкус, плюс еще не очень удачное фото блюда с крабом (его не видно за салатом, но он огромный). Но однозначно рекомендую любителям морепродуктов. Единственное учитывайте, что столиков не очень много, и возможно не будет свободных. Но я заметила, что очень много людей берут блюда с собой и наслаждаются трапезой за столиками через дорогу с отличным видом на побережье. Мы тоже хотели так сделать, но внутри был свободный столик и моя дочь хотела поесть внутри.

After walking around Barmouth for an hour trying to find somewhere to be either open or that can accommodate my allergies.A lovely little find in the heart of Barmouth.I have food allergies to Egg, Dairy and Gluten so it's a tricky combo to accommodate for, but they pulled it out of the bag and said just ask as everything is freshly cooked. And that it was!Definitely one to go back too and the coffee wasn't bad either.*Photos: mackerel salad and new potatoes and my partner (no allergies) had a Cod Goujon Sandwich with chips*Dietary restrictions: Covered for egg, dairy and gluten allergies - Amazing Thank you

If you love seafood this is the place to come for lunch in Barmouth.It was pretty busy and waited to be served. Eventually I had to ask, only to be told to order at the counter.When I placed my order the service was swift and friendly.I had a crab sandwich, which was generously filled in thick wholemeal bread. Delicious ?Definitely recommend.

Clean restaurant along the seaside, foods ok, crab salad is quite pricey for a small crab with few bits of salad and chips.
