I love this place. I was here 2020 and after 3 years I can get the same atmosphere. If you are here you have to order calamari, oysters, lobster roll and bang bang shrimp. Stuff is friendly and thank you for service.
A cute New England vibe in the middle of the mountains. We were seated quickly. The good stops there. I had the Shannon’s Shrimp, which was a very odd dish. They said the shrimp would be lightly battered… there was so much egg batter caked on there, I thought that I was eating scrambled eggs! Very weird. It came with rice, which was very al dente, and a vegetable, which was corn. The corn was juicy, but they almost forgot to bring it. My husband had the fish and chips, and said the fish did not taste fresh. We both had stomach aches later that night, making for a bummer last night of vacation. Skip this one!
I don’t write reviews often, but man I feel like I got ripped off. $30 for a lobster roll and $25 for a seafood platter with 2 shrimp is not cool. Had to fight the receipt to even get to my food. It tasted fine for fried seafood but is 3x the cost it should be and they charge a service fee to use a card. Servers forgot my order and were struggling behind the bar. Had high hopes for my first visit, but was definitely disappointed.
It's OK. The fries are pretty good. The fish n chips portion is a good size, but it's fat from your best choice along the main street.
Don’t normally write reviews but I had such a spectacular dinner with friends at Butch’s. We were visiting Aspen for the weekend and this open-air seafood joint was the perfect send off meal for a Summer weekend night.
Food was delectable all around. We tried a variety of delicious apps and soups but I specifically loved the clams casino the most. I split the shannon shrimp and Maine lobster roll as my entree and I was very happy and stuffed.
To top it off, service couldn’t have been better. Molly took care of the 8 of us and she was so attentive and helpful. The whole staff there felt like a big, fun family and Butch even popped over to our table to welcome us. Will definitely visit again next time in Basalt!
Butch’s Lobster Shack is my new favorite summer dinner experience!
The outdoor atmosphere is phenomenal and the staff made us feel like family, with great recommendations.
I had the clam chowder, bang bang shrimp and the Maine lobster roll. Chowder was full of flavor and the bang bang shrimp was a perfect app. Lobster roll was delicious and traditional - will definitely be back again this summer.
Love the lemon butter lobster roll, just enough butter and plenty of lobster. Love the casual outdoor atmosphere. Fried shrimp, lobster bisque, and fish n chips were delicious too
Being from Maine I have very high standards when it comes to seafood. Butch’s place was like going back home! It was the best lobster I’ve had in a long time. The staff and the overall atmosphere was fantastic, Jesse the bartender makes a great mojito! Highly recommend!
