The Lobster Shack Key West: Reviews & Ratings
The key west lobster roll was super delish and service was quick! The hibiscus iced tea was thirst quenching and yummy!
Probably the best lobster rolls I've had outside of Maine. The store is small but the food comes out super quick. We ordered the original and key west one and oh boy they were delicious. The little touch of mayo on the original was just right and the key west one was very refreshing.
Really great lobster roll. A tremendous amount of lobster but also a little pricey.
Delicious food and the owner was so nice and friendly. Came here twice during our stay and he even remembered our name when we came in the second time! Can’t go wrong with anything on the menu and will definitely return when we come back to the Keys!
Loved it! Key West lobster roll is absolutely delicious! We’ll definitely come back when on Key West.
My husband got the grilled cheese lobster roll and I got the Diablo. They were both really good, but a little on the small side. I would have loved more of the slaw on the side as well. Just very, very expensive for the amount of food you get. For 33 it would be nice to at least incude some fries!
I love this place. It’s the only place I prefer to go when in key west. I had another place the last time I was here only because lobster shack was closed. I was disappointed after having such a tasty place. This time we also got coconut shrimp which were tasty also. Previously I’ve had the grilled cheese also. I have not been disappointed with this place!
The Key West Lobster Roll and the Coconut Shrimps are to die for!! The Lobster Roll was loaded with succulent and juicy lobster, and the bun on the outside was perfectly toasted and glazed with butter We were actually to order both the Key West Lobster Roll and the Traditional Lobster Roll but were told that they only had one final lobster left, sad! The Coconut Shrimp was recommended to us as an alternative and we were not disappointed. In fact, all the shrimps were coated with a generous amount of shredded coconut and breadcrumbs and fried to perfection. Highly recommended. You may need to go early though.
