The Big Lobster

Standing 17 meters tall, The Big Lobster, affectionately known as "Larry," greets visitors at the entrance to Kingston SE, South Australia. Constructed in 1979 by designer Paul Kelly, this iconic sculpture was originally part of a complex featuring a restaurant, tourist area, and small theatre. Today, it houses Janet's Takeaway, offering a variety of meals, including seafood platters, mixed grills, schnitzels, and a range of sandwiches, wraps, and rolls. The extensive takeaway menu includes burgers, seafood, yiros, hot dogs, chicken, and classic fish and chips. Visitors can also purchase local produce, wine, beer, and souvenirs. Whether you're a local or passing through, a stop at The Big Lobster is a must to support this longstanding South Australian tourism destination.
