Our Story Begins
Hello and welcome to our blog, LobsterRollDiary.com, the storybook of our restaurant, Mason's Famous Lobster Rolls. My spouse and I, are immigrants from the Philippines and Cameroon respectively, have woven our dreams and culinary passions into the fabric of this community-centric eatery in the vibrant new development of West Falls in Falls Church, Virginia. This journey is not just ours but a legacy we are building for our children and the generations to come.

A Rich Culinary Heritage
Our approach to cooking is deeply rooted in our childhood experiences. Growing up, our families taught us to cook not by strict recipes but through senses and instincts, with each dish carrying the warmth of tradition and the taste of home. At Mason's, we bring these learned traditions to you, infusing classic East Coast dishes with the rich flavors and techniques of our diverse backgrounds.
Simplicity Meets Indulgence
At the heart of our menu is the lobster roll—simple, indulgent, without pretense. Sourced directly from the cold waters of Maine, our lobster rolls are crafted according to tradition, served with just the right touch of lemon, butter, and mayo, sometimes accented with a hint of celery. It's not just about eating; it's about experiencing the luxury of simplicity.

Beyond Lobster: A Diverse Menu
While lobster is the star, our menu does not shy away from variety. We celebrate the full spectrum of sea and land with options like crab, shrimp, hot dogs, and grilled cheese sandwiches, complemented by wholesome salads and heartwarming soups. Each item on our menu is designed to cater to various palates and preferences, ensuring there’s something for everyone.
Why West Falls?
We chose West Falls for its promise of connectivity and community. This thriving hub, with its modern residences, bustling shopping districts, and engaging outdoor spaces, reflects our vision of a place where people can come together. It’s here, at the crossroads of major thoroughfares and just moments from the West Falls Church Metro station, that we found our perfect spot.
Engagement and Excellence
Our commitment goes beyond serving food. We strive for excellence in every aspect of our operations—quality, speed, cleanliness, and professionalism. Moreover, we are dedicated to giving back, engaging with our community, and supporting local initiatives that uplift and empower.
