Here we go!
Turns out this was a small chain in Southern California, which according to Google is no longer in biz. And called 'Lobster House,' rather than The Lobster House.
Important distinction.

Phillips Drive-In Restaurant, late of Pottstown, PA.
Couldn't find out much about this place, other than that someone on eBay is selling a matchbook from Phillips. The matchbook states the address was 'West High Street, Route 422.'
Route 422 stories:
To get to Leesport Farmers Market, where I've gone many times for the Wednesday flea market, from where I live/lived you gotta take Route 422. Once found a real gold watch there for a measly $2. Ended up selling it for $400. Another great find was an old micro-mosaic picture frame, which cost me a dollar. Sold it for over $100.
Probably the neatest thing I got was an antique teapot with the image of Lord Baden-Powell on it. You may recall him as the guy who invented scouting, i.e. the Boy Scouts.

Gotta take Route 422 to get to Hershey Park, which I haven't been to since the early 1990s. when I went with a friend, mainly to see Rockapella, who were appearing there that day.

Gotta take Route 422 to an auction I attended a gazillion years ago. I remember it being a way hot day, and the venue, which probably began life as a barn, was equally hot. I think I bought very little there, but I'm pretty sure that very little sold.

'nationally known for fried clams'
I'm guessing this place was somewhere in Massachusetts, due to the address shown.
Back in the day, specific addresses were minimal. I remember being in summer camp (Camp Sankanac - google it!) and two girls were there from Woxall, PA.
Their address was Susie and Bonnie X, Woxall, PA. No street name.
