They're offering a pair of 1 ¼-pound lobsters for $16.99 on Monday or $15.99 Tuesday through Saturday from 2-4pm, and 9pm-close.
Lobster-clad employee-sightings not guaranteed.

Spotlight on Business:
MINAS GRILL
Walk into Minas Grill, and the first thing you are bound to notice is the warm and homey atmosphere. This churrascaria has recently splashed its walls with pink and fuchsia, making it a bright spot along Broadway.
Minas offers both a traditional Brazilian-style buffet and a variety of delicious hamburgers. Like other Brazilian buffets, Minas charges by the pound. While this may be a unique concept for people unfamiliar with Brazilian restaurants, it allows you to only pay for what you want to eat. This makes Minas is a perfect choice whether you're looking for a hearty dinner or a light meal.
The buffet is also a great way to sample a variety of different Brazilian sides, such as different bean dishes and fried yucca. And, of course, after loading up on salads and sides, meat lovers delight in Minas' barbecue selection!
