Awesome you really hooked me up i am an avid seafood lover and foodie thanks sooooo much! Also your new subscriber!😋 😀
This man entertained me on a fundamental level. Take this Like.
why thank you!
Your videos have me and my buddy Duc addicted !
Good Work!
Plus I love your Fender Jazz Bass!!!
Rock on! its a harley benton jass bass! I do not deserve a fender jazz bass.
I've added this place to my dream food list. It looks so good. Great review video.
Thanks for watching! and thank you for the nice comment :)
According to some restaurant business advisors, a restaurant must charge a minimum of at least three times the cost of what it takes to produce a meal for the restaurant to stay afloat. Cost includes all aspects like food cost, labor, rent, utilities, insurance, etc.. The meal should have not cost the restaurant more than $43.33 to produce. If a customer eats more than that the restaurant is in trouble.
I can assure you I’m eating at minimum 4 lobsters 🦞
I know if you go out to dinner,and order lobster,and they charge you market price,I imagine it’s going to be at least $30,or more,so all you can eat plus all of those side dishes for $130 isn’t really bad.
thats a way to look at it!
Great Video, loved the opinion break down....great Job!
Much appreciated! thank you
somehow i missed this older one but youtube put it up front on my home page, sooo, i clicked on it. yummo.
Thanks for doing the breakeven numbers for us Danny! IMO looks like its worth it if the quality is good but @ $130 probably only go try once or go every year or so.
I think the quality is fine, it was neither the best lobster I ever had nor the worse, I think the only way I will go back for $130 is if I have several twins or clones and we all wear the same clothes and swap out with every 30 minute "cigarette break". LOL its kinda pricy.
My husband and I don't make a lot but we are celebrating our 10th anniversary next year so we're planning now. It's all about preference and experience. This isn't your Chinese take out so it might be a once in a lifetime or only special occasion. So for me it's worth it. 😊 $115 for a wagyu burger....different story. 😮
Very honest. Thank you for your critique.
I think I'll try it once
LoL Danny another fun video !
I remember pre pandemic it was around $70, it almost doubled in 2 years(inflation)
Do more AYCE in tri state area please! 👍
I will try!
You're a legend - keep up the great work. AUSTRALIA loves you!
Wow, thanks!
I love ur subjective perspective. I’m a new subscriber 😇💯👌🏾
Thanks for subbing! I wish there was a million more like you! LOL ... thanks!
Love this video ❤️
I never knew about Cull lobsters…thanks for the info
Loving g your channel here in DC!
There is a location in midtown in Manhattan. I’ve been a few times. It’s called Crab House. They have 2 options. One is a lobster all u can eat, with a ton of other options u can eat all u eat as well such as the steak and crab legs. They also have shrimp, crabs, chicken, vegetables, and more. It’s like 40 different things on the menu. The second is a seafood all u can eat, which just means u can order everything except lobster. The lobster is $115 and the seafood is $80. I’ve been as recent as January. They bring your menu and u check off what u want, and I’m about 5 minutes ur food will start coming to your table sizzling hot. They come back as soon as something looks close to finished and ask if u want more. You can literally order however many times u want. You also get 2 hours to eat. I have like 3-4 rounds of food every time I go with time to spare. Service is really fast. It’s definitely worth it. The only catch is you and whoever u eat with have to order the same option. One can’t choose lobster and the other seafood. They also let me take food home. Last time I took 4 tins of food home and they only charged me $15 more. Very dope for a romantic date spot. Booth are very private. I highly recommend.
It all looked so delicious, I love love lobster and rarely ever get to indulge. I could never afford to pay that much though, way out of my retiree's puny budget. If I ever hit the lottery, that place will definitely be on my bucket list to visit and eat lobster to my heart's content. Cheers!
You and me both! no way im going back there without lottery winnings.... and it went up in price recently as I heard...
@@dannythemedic YIKES
Lobster all you can eat is a rip off when it costs $10 each on sale
The scallops looked very good too!
Danny, you got me wanting to fly there for lunch 🤗
Me myself I love lobster. Me I'm from Hawaii. Years ago my father asked me and my brother if wanted to go out and Eat since our Birthday was coming up and I said no dad. So he said, then what?No dad I want to stay home. And Eat what?Dad I said. STEAK AND LOBSTER that's my favorite. My brother agreed. And fresh artichokes with butter .Salad, bread, and cake. I never forget that, and that was years.I ago.When it comes to food, my father didn't care, because I come from a big family. To include grandpa. I wanted him to come since he lived next door.
such a touching story
!!!! enjoy the lobster! :)
Love this video used to go pretty far for these all u can eat places
Excellent ,as usual! Thank you for all your information.
Tung looked disappointed-No Chicken feet! I agree with you, but for a New Yorker to fly to Las Vegas, hotel room and transportation to the Palm lobster buffet; this is a bargain. As you said everything is relative. I hope they gave you unlimited iced tap water, for $130.
I’d say stick to just the crab version of the Buffay menu which is only $70 and includes everything the $130 menu includes except the three lobster dishes. I think if you go that route then it’s definitely worth the money as long as you go with a big appetite. So maybe that would give you another reason to go back to the restaurant once again, and I create another video of content focusing on that as the subject matter. The food looked amazing though.. $130 definitely is a lot but $70 is so much more manageable and agreeable at almost half the price. They have way too many crab dishes to not get bored😊
Oops, never mind! I see you already did that soon as I hit send popped another video which was just that🎉
Thank you for another great video Danny! 😊😊😊 As a woman, I can only eat one lobster tail and maybe a few scallops. Objectively and Subjectivity for me, it’s NOT WORTH IT! 😊😊😊
Thanks for watching!
New subscriber. I think it's worth it if you eat enough. It looked very delicious
Thanks and welcome
Great video, Danny! The lobster looks yummy, but I don't think I would pay $130 for it. It would be cheaper to go to a Las Vegas all you can eat lobster buffet. I heard there is an all you can eat lobster buffet in Southern California at an Indian casino that is much cheaper than that. The lobster Mac & Cheese looks great...AND the scallops looks scrumptious. Don't blame you for getting seconds...I would!!!
I totally agree! there are several CA ones I been looking at...
Hi, another fun video. We are from central US and never had lobster. Is it healthy? Hope you enjoyed your meal. Hi to your friend too. Thank you.
Not only is it healthy, it is delicious! The meal was GREAT the first 1/3, okay the 2nd 1/3. and was like work the last 1/3, stuffing my stomach to try to make it worth the money LOL... Thank you so much for watching and for the comment!! :)
about healthy, lobster and other crustaceans are unique is that they must be alive when you buy them, (hopefully very alive and struggling) and you need to kill them just before cooking. they must not be dead because the bacteria inside quickly gets out of control after death, meaning a threat to your own health if consumed.
properly "frozen" is an exception of course
It's worth it for a nite out with friends and eating the best freshly presented food
I would go again if it was more in the 60 dollar range... just sayin
Also check out my watch channel! It used to be all one channel, but I had to split the topics to better serve the viewers!
Valley View Indian Casino near San Diego has AYCE lobster buffet for $50 and it's very good I ate 6
Have you been to the Nordic Lodge in Charlestown RI? If not please try and video it. They are open seasonal
I have been thinking of that place for YEARS. Always wanted to go but its not easy being I am a New Yorker with no car... but it is something I want to do eventually!
That looked worth it. 💯
thanks for watching!
DANNY THE MEDIC- ALASKA has NO Lobster, it is an ATLANTIC Ocean species. I live just under Alaska in Vancouver, we also have no Lobster here...
It's I large $ cost for a single meal. The cost is not in many eyes over priced. Great video
Yes! Thank you! for me, 130 would probably be the most I will ever pay for a single meal and not kick myself afterwards, I had been to more expensive, one time I went to a famed Omakase dinner, A friend paid for it all, and I was not told of the price which was something like over 200 pp. I was so thrown off when I found out the price she paid, I felt really weird!
@@dannythemedic you are a honest reviewer and one of few that is made real reference that your income dictates maybe doing it and that you are doing UA-cam videos that help pay for it compared to others trying it thank you for being what I would be calling someone in the real life understanding of the big picture reviewer you sir are a star five UA-cam reviewer
Live Lobster are $15/lb. We went to Asian restaurant for 2 lobsters, ginger scallion style, it came out to almost $70
holy gamoly 70 bucks! for 2 lobsters ginger scallion? that seems a bit steep, where did you go?
You over paid for your twin lobster in Chinese restaurant. There are plenty of good restaurants that offer ginger and scallions lobster for less than $50.
I'd rather all you can eat lobsters than parking tickets. So I'll go every year and park carefully... forever 🤣
sounds very good!
I thought everything tasted frozen.....
How do you tell the nationality of a lobster? Looks really delicious to me but too expensive but that's NYC for you.
That's one expensive meal.... but is it worth it? Yup!
Was all the other food included in the price?
Yes, all was included in the price
I'd definitely pay for that meal...
just once or weekly? DAILY?
I buy lobster at stop & shop on sale for 15.00 each. Rib steak 12.00 etc etc. But Its not a restaurant experience.
A restaurant experience it's all in your mind you can do the same thing at home for your loved ones
I will do this
I'm taking a guess we've not heard of taking small bites 😂
You must really come here starving to get your money worth. Food is great, but i see people only getting 1 or 2 lobster and pay 115 pp. Again the quality of the food is there but ayce lobster and get only 2 is not worth it. For 2 people 290 tip and tax included.
AH thank you! Guys, the price is now $115, with an out of pocket cost of $142. (up from $105/$130)
IF you come to Vancouver Canada the average cost for 1 Lobster in any Chinese restaurant is $100, so if you can eat 3 or 4 at this place🤪👍
Was the other items included in the price?
yesss
They must have went up on the price, because the price was just $105. I would still pay that price.
My price of $130 is the total amount of what you hand over to the restaurant when you leave. I find that the total price people actually pay is more relevant when it comes to more expensive meals.
@@dannythemedic u mean after when you paid for the $20 takeout ?
my father was a Maine Lobsterfisherman, i think those are notAmerican Lobster they are the small ones sold in Canada, in Canada we call them Canner Lobsters, in the US they call them Chicken Lobsters.
But they could be culls too Mr Danny!
Danny yur friend seems to have buyer's remorse, lol
I am red meat guy, not that i would turn down a lobster. I would prefer Brazilian AYCE meat for 2/3 price.
It's $130 including tax and tips or without?
with. its the out of pocket cost
Did they let you take home the left overs?
I believe they would, but they charge you for it. but believe me O'lisa, I didnt want to see another piece of seafood for a very long time!
Hello Danny do you live in New York are there other places just as good to eat at there i.e buffet's that are less expensive I know where I live people wouldn't pay 130.00 for all you can eat lobster we don't have any buffet like that here no hot pot no sushi nothing good like that I would pay the 130.00 for lobster all you can eat if I was there never had anything good like that before so if you got places to eat like that I would be eating there as many times as I could like your videos keep making them
I DO live in NYC. In midtown manhattan near the empire state building. One thing about NYC (before covid scare) is that it has excellent restaurants and buffets. Now its down to a few here and a few there. Yes there are currently several AYCE places to eat that are less expensive, but not in-expensive. and plenty if inexpensive regular restaurants too! I will post as many as i can! :)
But you also got shrimp, crab, lobster mac, seaweed, noodles, rices and as much lobster you can eat was all of this included in the price?
yesss
how much did you tip?
15 percent ish
130 was total
Hello Danny, Great video as always. Had me dribbling all the way thru.
Is it worth the money? That depends, to me, if you live in the city or if you happen to be in the area? Or convenient maybe. Maybe a one time experience. But you are correct at $130 per person plus tax plus tip??? I don’t know……… like I said a one time thing remember you also get steak, scallops, etc……..
I live in Long Island, so for me with wife,kids and extended family total bill all inclusive you’re looking at close to $1000+
woooo $1000. I can do SO MUCH with $1000 at costco LOL. feed 50 people real good maybe.... thanks for watching and for the comment :)

I was watching one of your videos and you were at a all you can eat lodge
Can you let me know were that lodge is in New York
It’s only $105 I think, and $75 without the lobster.

AwesomeThanks sooooooo much, you really hooked me up iam a avid foodie and seafood lover, can't wait to taste the lobster buffet and now I'm also a new subscriber!😋 😄
What is your standard for tipping at buffets ? Since you're serving food to yourself
I follow emily post for tipping amounts. 10% at buffets, 15-20% at sit down waitress service
Do'n't you get paid back the $130.00 from You Tube?
UA-cam dont reimburse me for things, it is just a platform to put videos... Once a video is monetized it depends on many factors how much ad revenue is paid out.. in the case of this video, no I have not made enough to cover the meal. YET.. maybe if people keep watching... but youtube is about the FUN! not the money!
@@dannythemedic Thanks for explaining.
OMG
NO
You have no idea what kind of quality of lobster they serve (frozen, fresh, farm, wild, location)? Certain types of lobster are more expensive than others and not to mention they bought in bulk prices. In addition 15% mandatory american culture tips.
it was live culls from a tank. Where from I dunno. I go with emily post guidelines and adjust that for each encounter.
The best honest straight from the shoulder🫡🙏❤️
