“ Now this place is legit! Lobsters rolls are always so good & this little shack knows how to do it. I would say this would be one of my top 5 rolls, the shrimp roll was also insane the seasoning did not miss! Worth the wait & truly awesome service and people! ”
“ The owner is so nice and helpful, and great food. Such a cool spot to stop off on your way into Islamorada! ”
“ Had great lunch while driving from Key West to Miami! It's really cute place with few outdoor seating spots and cool souvenir/shopping area. The portion size is little small for the price, but the lobster tasted fresh and delicious. Conch fritter was also very good. Glad we got to stop at Lobster shack for yummy lunch! ”
“ Really wonderful service from Katie! The lobster roll was small but sweet and fresh with not too much mayo. The conch fritters were pretty unique but salty. The cubano was standard and pretty decent. The infamous pasta salad was also quite nice and vinegary with orange, olive, and veggies. Would recommend for a nice lunch! Overall the area is also artsy and fun with different stores and stands ”
“ The lobster roll is delicious, so yummy. She even gave us some pasta salad which is also delicious and fresh. Love her what a sweet lady , highly recommend stopping by. We order 4 lobster rolls for the family and we're stuff. Also her ice espresso coffee was Amazing. My husband finish the ice coffee before i could take a picture. Service is perfect and Ambiance was super cute with island vibe and few tables to sit and eat. ”
“ The reviews for this place were really good, so I was looking forward to getting a lobster roll or a similar filling sandwich at the Lobster Shack. When we arrived, we saw this little stand with a "Cafe sign" on the outside. We were not sure if this was the Lobster Shack or not...there was no one inside, so we walked around and the handwritten menu on the side of the stand was really basic and small...but then I saw on the counter the printed menu that I had seen on the Yelp website and I knew this was in fact the Lobster Shack. As I read the menu, I turned around to a lady who was sitting by one of the picnic tables and I asked her if there was anyone working here...she said... I am. So after seeing us walking around and looking around for a while, she did not say anything until I asked. Based on that customer service faux pas and the look of the place, we decided just to share some fritters and then get lunch somewhere else. The fritters were good. ”
