New restaurant offering classic lobster rolls coming to Pavilion at Durbin Park
Those looking for a taste of lobster will soon have a new option in northern St. Johns County.
Mason’s Famous Lobster Rolls is planning to open its second Northeast Florida restaurant at the sprawling Pavilion at Durbin Park following its regional debut in Fernandina Beach last November, according to plans filed with Florida’s Department of Business & Professional Regulation and a site plan property flyer for the retail center.
Offering a limited menu in a setting reminiscent of the lobster shacks of New England, the fast-casual lobster concept will take over the empty storefront at 120 Durbin Pavilion Drive, Suite 101, near Natural Greens gyros and salads restaurant, Your Pie pizza and the recently opened Dirty Dough gourmet cookie shop.

Founded by Dan Beck in 2014, Mason’s Famous Lobster Rolls sources its lobster from Maine from fisherman partners who “ensure that every catch respects the ocean, using environmentally-friendly methods that keep our marine life thriving,” according to Mason’s website.
The restaurant is one of 37 open or planned by the Annapolis, Maryland-based chain. In Florida, seven Mason’s are open and three more are planned, including in Orlando and Fort Lauderdale as well as Durbin Park in Saint Johns.
In Fernandina Beach, Mason’s is open at 708 Centre St.
