While Keith doesn't favour the
Waterfront Warehouse, I've had their lobster dinner during their Lobsterfeast promotions and have not been disappointed. It is on the waterfront, not too far from the cruise ship piers. They're advertising $27 for a lobster dinner right now.
Goldwater Lobster Shack in the Seaport Farmers Market, adjacent to the cruise terminal, will sell you lobster rolls and chowder but not full lobster as far as I know.
For a completely no-frills, lower cost lobster feast, you could always go to the Atlantic Superstore, just a couple of blocks from the pier (next to the train station) and buy cooked lobsters, salads, and whatever other fixings you want. You'd have to ask if they can crack the lobster for you though, otherwise you'll need utensils. Then you could take your lobster picnic lunch to Cornwallis Park across the street, or to a table on the waterfront boardwalk. (Or go a bit farther afield to beautiful Point Pleasant Park.)
So much lobster, so little time.
