Great food! Chill atmosphere! Really good customer service, they went out of their way to make sure I had a good time!

We stopped at DJ's Clam Shack while walking around Key West and it ended up being one of the best meals of our trip. The lobster roll was absolutely incredible and easily one of the best I have ever had. The lobster was fresh, buttery, and packed with flavor, and they definitely do not skimp on the portion size. The bread was perfectly toasted and held everything together without overpowering the lobster. Every bite was amazing. You can tell they really know what they are doing when it comes to seafood. We were already talking about coming back before we even finished eating. The atmosphere was fun and casual, the staff was friendly, and the whole place had that classic Key West vibe. If you are visiting Key West, this spot is a must. We will definitely be back for another lobster roll next time we are in town. read more

When I looked up best lobster rolls in Key West, DJs made everyone's list no matter what site you viewed. From the front, it looks super small with no seating but there are actually seats in the back. I loved my lobster roll. It was really good and came out surprisingly fast. The fries were really good too. read more

Loved this place! Quick walk from the pier and the food was reasonably priced and delicious. Mojitos were 2 for 1 with a variety of flavors. My hubby had the Cuban...he said it was super tasty. I had the lobster roll that was jam packed with delicious, fresh lobster. We both left full and satisfied. Also...they had really cute and clean restrooms. read more

One of my must-haves when traveling on the East Coast is a first-class lobster roll. And not the New England version with mayo. I want as much plain, unadulterated lobster as possible, stuffed into a beautifully grilled roll. Lucky for me, DJ's offers a Maine-style lobster roll: a grilled roll, warm lobster, and a small cup of melted butter. Food: The emphasis at DJ's is clearly on the food. The menu isn't large, but they offer all the classics. Most of us ordered the lobster roll, and we also had a shrimp po' boy, a cup of clam chowder, and a basket of conch fritters. Everything was delicious. The lobster roll featured generous pieces of tender lobster. The roll was perfectly grilled, crisp on the outside and soft on the inside. There was plenty of melted butter to pour over the top, making it a bit messy, but absolutely worth it. This was a lobster roll to remember. The clam chowder was also excellent, creamy, well seasoned, and filled with good-sized pieces of clam. The conch fritters were the best we had during our time in Key West. I also sampled the shrimp po' boy, which was served on the same grilled roll. The shrimp were tender, with just the right amount of breading. Service: This is a small stand that has clearly mastered the art of serving excellent food in a compact space. There was a line when we arrived, and it took about 10 minutes to reach the counter. The person taking orders was friendly and helpful. Even while managing a steady flow of customers, they took the time to check in and chat briefly, which was appreciated. After ordering, we were given a number, and our food was delivered in less than 10 minutes. Atmosphere: The space is small but offers counter seating in the front, along with additional tables along the side and in the back. It's not fancy, but it's clean, efficient, and easy to navigate. We were pleasantly surprised to find covered seating in the back that accommodated our group of six. While we were eating, we experienced the only rain of our entire Key West trip. We got a little wet, but it didn't dampen the experience. The lobster roll was amazing and one of our favorite meals of the week. Definitely a place I would return to. read more

Well, if DJs is recommended by Guy Fieri when in Key West, of course I'm gonna go. So DJ's is located directly on Duvall Street, which is the most touristy and most highly trafficked part of Key West. There's usually a line and that's for a good reason. It moves quickly though so don't give up hope. I believe they're primarily known for their overstuffed fresh lobster roll and rightly so, but they do have plenty of other fish selections, including steamed clams, coconut shrimp, garlic, shrimp, roll, conch, fritters, and mahi-mahi fish tacos. They also serve a selection of beer and sodas to go along with your food that you can either take away or eat in on the back patio. I gotta say it was so good We went there twice. Both times we got the over stuffed lobster roll and I gotta say the brioche bun is fabulously buttery & crispy soft and it's big enough for two people to share, but you might still be kind of hungry afterwards. We also tried the coconut shrimp & the steamed clams which were good, but the real star was the lobster roll. Very tasty with a crisp cold beer by the way. read more

When you visit Key West, you must get a lobster roll! I've been to multiple lobster roll spots in Key West, and DJ's is definitely high up there! Me and my friend ordered both the lobster roll as well as the fried clams. The portion of fried clams was huge, definitely worth the price! The lobster roll was very tasty as well, the perfect ratio of lobster meat and mayo. DJ's does get crowded, but they do have a good amount of seating. Highly recommend! read more

Had my first Lobster Roll here so can't compare to the average however if I visit Key West again I will definitely be stopping by again! I got the overloaded lobster roll which while pricey was quite good! The service was great with the guy at the counter asking about what sights we'd seen and even recommending other local spots to visit and food try. The restaurant is open air and absolutely "beach casual" so no need for fancy attire of anything like that. I would love to come back and try other offerings in the future! Definitely stop by if your a seafood fan or looking to try some new seafood dishes! read more

I was on a mission to find the best lobster roll in key west and DJs did not disappoint. Even though it was relatively busy (we had to wait a few minutes for a table. Seat yourself!) the food came out pretty quick. The lobster roll was delicious and a good portion. We got ours heated up but you can also have it cold, if you prefer. Whenever we passed by, it was busy so it's definitely a hit! We'll definitely be back next time we're in town. read more

Great hole in the wall shack right on the main drag in Key West. We were lucky to grab a spot right up front facing the street to eat. We ordered the fish fingers & fries, garlic steamed clams and clam chowder. The chowder was awesome and 5 stars, great thickness with hearty bites of clam and potato. The bay leaves in there was a unique twist that I haven't seen before. Garlic steamed clams were good as were the fish fingers. A lot of people were ordering the lobster rolls but we were too full. Maybe next time. read more

We ordered the Overload lobster roll, and it's hands down the best lobster roll in Key West. We've tried others on the island--nothing compares. The lobster is from Maine and never frozen, and you can taste the difference. Sweet, tender, and generously packed into every bite. Simple, classic, and done right. We also had the pleasure of meeting John, the manager, who was welcoming and clearly passionate about the quality they deliver. Great food, great people, classic ambiance and a place that truly lives up to the hype. If you're looking for an authentic lobster roll in Key West, this is a must-stop. read more

This is a classic fixture of Key West casual dining, and one of those places that many people make it a point to stop at. This restaurant/shack is very relaxed and has a simple menu that they've managed to ace. You order at the booth and then once your order is ready you can take it away or there are some seats available on the patio deck. The menu consists of fresh Maine lobster rolls or fried conch fritters, fried clam strips or fried shrimp. I think they might also do tacos but didn't see anyone ordering those. It's right in the hustle and bustle of Duvall street. read more

Loved loved loved DJ's Clam Shack! The first time I went, I had the shrimp basket with fries, so good & fresh that we made a second trip back. This time, I tried the coconut shrimp with fries, and I'm so glad I did. It was definitely my favorite of the two. The service was top-notch on both visits. The staff were incredibly friendly and attentive. The person taking our order was super welcoming and talkative, and the servers even brought us water on a hot day without us asking. They also brought out condiments right to our table, which was a nice touch. Overall, such a great experience both times. Easily one of the standout spots from our Key West trip. I'd go back in a heartbeat! read more

I love DJ's. Ok yeah the lobster rolls are super expensive, but so is any good lobster roll, anywhere. If you don't want to splurge on the lobster roll (get the overstuffed, worth it), get the tacos. It's half the price, huge, and delicious. I'm obsessed with the roast pork tacos. So tender and delicious. The creamy clam chowder is also amazing!! One time I visited with family and ordered several lobster rolls, they even gave us a complimentary clam chowder! Order at the counter, sit at the picnic tables in the back, and enjoy. The staff are great, and I love the local specials each year. I'll always come back to DJ's! read more

I had a week planned in my trip to Key West, but ended up coming to this place multiple times. They have the best lobster roll I have ever had. Additionally, the servers were very nice. I was asking them about their clam chowder and was curious of what it tasted like. Without asking, the server willingly gave me a sample and it ended up being awesome. This led me to make sure I came back here again just to have the clam chowder. Overall, if you are looking for a dang good lobster roll, or just some really good seafood in Key West, DJ's Clam Shack is the place to be. read more

Great Lobster roll, but is should be at these crazy prices ($28). It's Key West, "suck it up" says my wife. Cool place with fast service and the place really is one of a kind. Diners, drive ins and dives has been here. Chickens (hen and five chicks) on the floor make it a Key West experience - I'd go back. Duval street is unique to say the least. read more

Absolutely THE BEST lobster roll in the Keys. Obviously I haven't tried them all but those here in Yelp and other locals mentioned this is the place to go so I did and it did not disappoint. Plenty of lobster on a perfectly toasted roll and could feed 2 folks. You walk right up at the counter, order and although they said 5-6 minutes, it took only 2-3. We got there early so found a table out back for 3 but seating is a bit of a challenge. Not much room but nice vibe nonetheless either in front people watching or in back as if in somebody's back yard. Very cool. So along with all our other Yelpers...try THE BEST LOBSTER ROLL in Key West!!! read more

We had one day in Key West on our way to The Bahamas and we decided to try out DJ's Clam Shack because we wanted to try some conch fritters and this place was featured on the Food Network. We got a few items and it didn't take long for the food to come out. The seating is outdoor only and it's pretty limited, but we were able to find seating and enjoy our food. One of the locals said that she's tried other conch fritters and she confirmed that these were the best on the island. Highly recommend! read more

I'm so glad we stopped here! It's small and doesn't have a ton of seating, but 100% worth it!!! Clams, fried shrimp and the lobster roll, I can't say enough about the lobster roll :) Quick and delicious food right on Duvall. read more

Very lively place on the evening on Duval street. Service was quick: order at the counter. There were few places to sit but now much, so order to go for groups. Got the Regular lobster roll:4 stars. Good lobster, decent bread. Decent flavors. Loaded lobster roll:4.5 stars. Almost double the lobster on one roll. It was so much I couldn't finish it all. Clam chowder: 4 stars. Good flavor. Nice and thick. Surprisingly I enjoyed the side of slaw that came with the lobster roll. Complimented it well. Good job. It is rated high among the many lobster rolls I have had. read more

Food was great. Service was great. The restaurant was fairly busy, but we were seated quickly. All around good experience!

If you enjoy fresh clams, this is the place. You walk up to the counter and the friendly server will place your order. We recommend the steamed clams [prepared in a delicious broth with a hint of jalapeños], the lobster roll [best toasted bread]. The clams were so delicious, we went back to order another round. read more

Heard about this online. When I went in the morning it was not yet open but come the evening the place was vibing. Lobster roll had to happen. Pricy but with it. Nice buttery roll. Great lobster. Also had the conch but the kids ate it before I could even take a Pic. The conch was also well cooked not rubber and succulent with a creator batter. read more
