Autumn Specials

You'll see more soups and stews on our menu in the cooler months. In addition to our chowder and bisque we often serve spicy Cioppino, Seafood Gumbo, and our classic French Bouillabaisse.

Lefty's Bouillabaisse - Shrimp, Calamari, Clams, Mussels, and fresh Fish in a Saffron Broth with slices of toasted baguette brushed with Red Chili Aioli.

Call ahead to see what's cooking.

Lefty's Fried Clams

Fresh Deep-Fried Ipswich Clams. All you'll need is a little tartar sauce and a squeeze of lemon and you'll be sitting by the sea. 

See you at Leftys.

Lefty's Authentic Lobster Bisque - It's the Real Deal!

Lefty's Lobster Bisque

Lefty's serves gallons and gallons of Lobster Bisque, and one of the things we've noticed from the uninitiated is that they're not quite sure what a bisque is.

An authentic bisque is "a smooth, creamy, highly seasoned soup of French origin, classically based on a strained broth (coulis) of crustaceans."*

Lefty's Clam Chowder

What bisque isn't - if it's traditional - is a chunky soup like chowder. But if you'd like, order it with Lobster meat for a small charge.

In order to create the perfect bisque, you need fresh vegetables and a high volume of lobster to make the stock. And no one has a higher volume of lobster than Lefty's. Making bisque is a long process of reducing, straining, reducing and straining again, and then finishing off with cream and sherry.

We hope this knowledge of how Lefty's creates their Lobster Bisque, enhances your enjoyment and appreciation of a dish we're extremely proud of.

Howdy, Folks!!!!

Here's something Big Tex would love - Lefty's "Texas State Fair" inspired Corny Dog Shrimp!

Ask Your Waiter

Everybody eats good at Lefty's and that's why our waiters can help you choose just the right meal to make any lunch or dinner at Lefty's a special occasion. They don't just know the menu, they eat here on a daily basis - tasting specials, sampling wines, dining between shifts.

Here's a recent special the waiters raved about: 

Pan-fried Gulf Snapper with a Chipotle Cornmeal Crust, Topped with Lump Crabmeat, Mango Salsa, and Beurre Blanc. Served with mixed vegetables and roasted potatoes.

Nobody eats better than the Lefty's crew.

Maybe that's why most of them have worked here for 18 years.

Lefty's - Generation After Generation

After 18 years on Addison's competitive Restaurant Row, Lefty's has withstood the test of time. So many people have called Lefty's "our place" that we're now seeing generations of regular customers.

Like these two beauties above. Nyla and Kellis Gary have been regulars since before they were born. They know their way around a lobster and they know a delicious Key Lime Pie when they see one.

They're the daughters of Jennifer and Keith Gary and the granddaughter's of our great friends Rick and Kathey Smith. Three generations of a family that calls Lefty's "our place."

And now...please...give that pie a hand.

Thank you models - Nyla and Kellis. See you at Lefty's!

What's on Tap at Lefty's

Lefty's is proud to offer Franziskaner Weissbier on tap. This fine Bavarian wheat beer (est.1363) is citrusy and smooth with a hint of fruit and spice. Franziskaner is a great addition to Lefty's other beers on tap: Maredsous Brune from Belgium and Anchor Steam from San Francisco.

Come in and have a tasting flight of these world class beers.

CHEERS!

Lefty's New England Clambake

A great American summer tradition - the New England Clambake. At Lefty's it's on our menu all year long - Maine lobster, clams, mussels, golden corn-on-the-cob, a head of roasted garlic, and some fresh, new potatoes. And it starts with a cup of our velvety lobster bisque or our homemade clam chowder. So what do ya say? Are you in?
