The Hidden Gem Seafood Spot In Arizona, Knock Kneed Lobster, Has Out-Of-This-World Food

“Seafood” and “Arizona” are two words you don’t often hear in the same sentence, but one Phoenix hole-in-the-wall proves you don’t have to live on the coast to enjoy great seafood. Knock Kneed Lobster has been serving up some of the best seafood in Arizona since the 1940s, with no plans of stopping any time soon. This unassuming joint is easy to miss if you so much as blink, but once you try their mouthwatering seafood, you’ll quickly become a regular.

If you aren't a local, you'd be inclined to drive right on by Knock Kneed Lobster without even thinking about stopping - but that would be a grave mistake.

The unassuming hole-in-the-wall is an icon among Valley residents, serving up the best seafood in the region since the 1940s.
The wharf-inspired décor is quirky as can be, making you feel like you're in a charming seaside town rather than Arizona's capital city.

Let's not forget about the side dishes - while not included with most entrees, they're so worth shelling out a few extra bucks for.
