Between The Bun - Oakland

This is the large size of a togo clam chowder that’s a tangerine on the left and it was only half full. Ordered for dinner with a few other things and had to make a frozen pizza after anyways. Not worth the money. Let me guess though, the owner is gonna respond and say how they will work on it. Should’ve read all the negative reviews first

They’re robbing people out of their money and appetite. This place is disgusting, how are they still in business?? My favorite seafood restaurant was closed, so Between the Bun was our plan B… this should be more of a plan XYZ! The last place you should eat if everything else fails lol. The pictures on the website lure you in, making you think you’ll get a decent lobster roll meal. The bun is a sweet Hawaiian roll, the waffle fries are from the frozen food section in the grocery store, and you can find the Mac and cheese in aisle 13 called Kraft macaroni and cheese lol. $60 for THE MAIN EVENT and 4 sides… more like $60 for a disappointment and stomach ache.

Ordered on doordash, pretty disappointed with everything I had : Crab sandwich like a couple of reviews have said, the bread is way too sweet and soft, overpowers any of the crab flavors. On a positive note, they do load up on the crab. Fried okra breading was too thick, wasn't very crispy but might be due to delivery time Maryland crab chowder this was my bad, I wanted clam chowder but ordered this on accident , either way, it was also too sweet with corn in it which made it unpleasant, not much crab in it either. Don't think I'll be ordering from here again.

I got the lobster bisque and the beans. The lobster bisque was way too salty and a gloppy mess. I would never get it again. The beans were sweet and had no other taste. Maybe the sandwiches are better. I probably won't go back to find out.

I'm wasn't impressed by the taste but, I was shocked at the price. You have to add double meat to feel like you aren't being cheated by quality over quantity. Expensive to go eatery although I've ventured in more than 3x. I always get the crab sandwich as I am not a lobster eater. I know throw me in the Ocean over this dismay lobster is just overrated and underwhelming in my opinion. However, I did enjoy the lobster bisque with the oyster crackers. But, I will have to add just like they add too much heavy cream and not enough lobster into the bisque. I learned to add a double serving of lobster to that food option as well. For two people to be aesthetically pleased and full expect to spend $50 plus although, that may just be my family eating habit
