The Boston Lobster Feast started in the garage of Jeff Hazell, a native of Marblehead, Mass., where he grew up as a lobsterman with his father and grandfather. Out of his central Florida garage, he started to sell live lobsters to a few restaurants. By 1987, he moved into a small warehouse, selling thousands of lobsters to supermarkets throughout Florida. Realizing there was no single restaurant in Florida that gave Maine lobster its full attention, Hazell opened the first Boston Lobster Feast in 1991. The Boston Lobster Feast became an Orlando, Fla., tradition for holidays, birthdays, special occasions or the place to take that special out-of-town guest. Since the first Boston Lobster Feast opened in 1991, Hazell opened two more restaurants in central Florida. All of them are family restaurants, with a complete bar, for those that enjoy adult beverages. In addition, the company can serve groups of up to 200. The company s location in Orlando employs nearly 80 people.
