Buster's Sea Cove - St. Lawrence Market

The lobster roll is my favorite. I tried the calamari this time, but I didn’t like it. It was boring—nothing special, except that you know you’re eating grilled calamari. I suggest sticking with the lobster roll if you’re traveling to Toronto and not planning to come back. There are seats outside, but there are just too many birds trying to steal your food. It’s surely busy and hectic inside, but I recommend sitting inside if there’s any available seat. After meal, you can also enjoy the market place.

A lively, and often busy establishment. But the queue went down quickly for me. Good place for seafood that is fresh and affordable. Came here twice. The grilled halibut was generous, excellent char and not over cooked. The clam chowder was tasty, deep in flavor, and warming The lobster roll was good. It's not chunks of lobster, but you can tell its lobster meat still. Really crammed into the brioche bun. Will probably have it again.

I had a great experience at Buster's Sea Cove in St. Lawrence Market. Their famous dish lobster roll and salad 🦞 lived up to the hype, it was really delicious but little expensive! What stood out even more was the incredible service. The staff were extremely polite, friendly, and very communicative, making sure everything was perfect during my visit. The overall vibe of the place was pleasant, and I definitely recommend it for anyone visiting the market. It’s a solid spot for fresh seafood and great service!

We walked to St. Lawrence Market after visiting the Underpass Farmer's Market looking for something to eat for dinner. I wanted the clam chowder, but unfortunately was told it sold out. We ended up going for the crabcake sandwich and the featured crabmeat sandwich combo. The featured sandwich was good but I found my crabcake sandwich could use some more sauce as i found it on the dryer end. There's limited seating with one bigger communal table that can fit 8 and some bar seating around the corner.

Heard a lot about this market place, so decided to make the drive from Michigan to Toronto to check it out. Pretty busy and live place. Atmosphere was nice. Now onto the reviews: Our food came out quick that's a plus even though they were super busy. We order the lobster roll and the lobster bisque. Seeing all the hype on this roll I had to check it out, but to me it's just a lobster roll nothing really wow me. Taste blend like cold lobster meat. Would of been nice if they had butter over it to get flavor out of it. The portion was good better then a lot of place I'd been too. The Breading is nice, I think it was a great choice. Fries were pretty good. Pickle was not my cup of tea and I love Pickles and these just didn't do it for me. Lobster bisque was ok not bad it's just that I had my share of lobster bisque it just didn't top the chart in my opinion. But would love to go back and try other options they have on the menu. They have a great selection to choose from.

Should I have one last meal. May it be here. I like seafood. I am not a meat person. I have wanted a Po’ Boy sandwich for a long time. The Louisiana style isn’t done well or often in Toronto. So I was de-lighted when my partner and I went to St Lawrence today and found this spot had them. Along with many varieties of the sandwich. I got a shrimp one. It was in a word - perfection. I mean just try it and you will see. Next time I will get their octopus version of it. The line was long but the staff were very efficient and moved people though quickly. They make fresh to order and from what I saw everyone seemed to be loving what they got. All and all I found this great. Price point wise, it’s what you expect to pay for seafood anywhere. My sandwich was $12.75. Which I would say is very reasonable. I attached a photo for your reference. You can’t see it but under the shrimp the bun was loaded with onions, pickles, lettuce, tomatoes and this delicious sauce. The bun was buttery and toasty on the outside, soft and chewy on the inside. The shrimp was fried perfectly while staying tender. The slaw was fine but what was amazing was the hot sauce. Very authentic Louisiana style flavours. Their menu is extensive and if you can stand the wait, you shall be rewarded with delicious eats.

Inside St Lawrence Market. We had lobster roll and octopus as snacks and both were good. Somewhat pricey . There were some tables nearby and you can sit down to enjoy the food.

Nice for a change to try in well known St. Lawrence Market seafood. , Buster’s Sea Cove was recommended by a friend, and we ordered lobster 🦞 sandwiches, mahi- mahi, grilled salmon. Prices are really and it didn’t take long to get food .
