Fresh lobster is one of the great foods you can eat. While it's messy to eat a lobster tail and usually always pretty expensive, a great alternative is the lobster roll when you need your lobster fix. Irresistible when it is done right and served on a nice soft roll, once you've had a good lobster roll, it can become a fixture in your rotation.

When you think about seafood restaurants - especially ones that specialize in lobster - you're probably prepared to have a little sticker shock at the end of the meal. Lobster Grill offers affordable prices, which makes it easy to come with your family and dine. This Chino Hills seafood restaurant also has two varieties of lobster rolls. One is the standard New England lobster roll with mayonnaise and celery, while the other is a combination of a lobster roll and a Philly cheesesteak, topped with grilled onions and peppers and finished off with a perfect slice of Swiss cheese.
