Mahi tacos burnt sweet potatoes and clam chowder
Eddie H.

We love the food here and appreciate the local discount. We ordered our usual mahi tacos with a clam chowder. We ask for grilled and every time they say no but we insist and the chef says no problem. We asked for sweet potatoes with the tacos and they were burnt. We had to walk down the stairs and didn't like the attitude. Not rude but questioning which they were obviously burnt. They replaced them but didn't get a good vibe here. The jalapeños is perfect on the side. The food here is 5 stars. The set up and we have a tip isn't fair to the customer. You're having to wait a line to order. Come back for the food. Throw your tray away and clean up after yourself.

Shirt I want
Courtney G.

Cute stop in shopping center! Today there was a band playing and they had lots of tables outside to sit and enjoy meal.. you go inside to order and no seats inside. We got cold lobster roll and it came on nice buttery roll. There was huge pieces of lobster! They also sell shirts and other merchandise but shirt I wanted was out of stock! lol! We enjoyed stopping here to take break from shopping! Great food great vibes!!

Shrimp Basket
Robert L.

Great seafood spot right in St. Augustine. Quick service counter, so no worries about a wait staff. They had a nice outdoor patio with live music for lunch. Or you can dine up on the second floor, limited seating up there. The shrimp and fish baskets were very good, great tartar sauce and cocktail sauce. The garlic shrimp roll was delicious, and my wife loved her fish tacos! I would definitely recommend this seafood shop!

lobster roll (not the overstuffed)
Danielle B.

A really enjoyable spot, especially if you catch it on a good day. We visited on a Sunday and were treated to live music on a shaded patio, which was a perfect escape on a hot afternoon. The atmosphere alone is worth the trip. The food delivered too. The lobster roll at $28 gives you pause, but it earns its price tag and is genuinely worth it. The fried shrimp basket was also a winner, with delicious shrimp as the highlight. Skip the fries and go for the onion rings instead. Not a destination we'd drive across town for, but absolutely one we'd return to if we were in the area. A great option when the weather and the music align.

Key West Salad
Chloe M.

A must if you're in St. Augustine! Nothing fancy but it's good food at a good price. Didn't get a picture of the lobster roll but there's plenty of those on here. Service was good, food came out quick. I tried the salad because I didn't see any photos of it, it was pretty good! Huge salad for $10. The dressing was okay, really sweet but you can taste the lime. I definitely recommend stopping by to try the lobster roll or the shrimp po boy, can't go wrong with either!

Overloaded Lobster Roll
Latrisha A.

Place your order when you walk in and seat yourself. Seating is limited, dining in seating is upstairs and outside dining is an option. When your food is ready, you will be notified with the buzzer for pickup. Ok, the overloaded lobster roll is amazing. You get 1/2 lb of lobster meat. There is an option cold or warm sandwich. I chose warm with dazzle of butter. It come with Cole slaw is was good. The restaurant is small and very clean. There no seafood smell. After you finish dinning, you clear your table. I highly recommend DJ' s Clam Shack!!!

Me and my family spent the day in St Augustine, visiting Fort Mose to close out Black History Month(excellent history of enslaved people in that area). We had already planned to eat at DJ's Clam Shack, a favorite since visiting Key West and promoted by Guy Fieri, Food Network. The lobster rolls are the best, you must get it hot, the bread, fresh lobster meat with butter will melt in your mouth and the coleslaw is very fresh. The conch fritters, fries and clams were all tasty and very delicious. The staff are very friendly and patient. There is inside and outside seating, we decided to eat outside, 75 degrees and a light breeze so remember DJ's Clam Shack on Hypolita the next time you visit St Augustine.

Steve R.

First timers here We had the famous lobster rolls $20 each served hot on like a Texas toast bun The rolls were excellent but not very filling at all even for a woman as I had to order additional rolls for her. The coleslaw was very tasty as well and it's cheaper to park in the lot of the fort at $10 max than $15 for a private lot that's basically the same distance. So three rolls, and one little bottle of Chardonnay and one little bottle of Prosecco plus $10 to park , state tax and local tax plus tip equals $120.63

Lobster roll
Monica A.

This was the least busy place in st. Augustine after new years. Nice little patio and upstairs space. Even though st. Augustine was crowded , this place was almost empty. Easy ordering and not a huge menu. Got the regular lobster roll for $28. They also had the overstuffed lobster roll for $46. The bread was nice buttery and toasty but the lobster filling was a bit on the bland side and very little. I was expecting more taste and a bigger amount of lobster for the price. Also got the clam chowder loaded Fries. Didn't like it at all, the clam chowder tasted really bad. This place was once and done. At least for me.

Inside
Kathy L.

Overall we liked DJ's. The food was good but typical for a seafood shack. It definitely has a feel of a beachside hangout. Next time I'd skip the conch fritters (mediocre) and opt for the lobster roll which looked amazing. We'll definitely try it again on our next St Augustine visit.

Menu 07June26
Chris C.

This was a great find, nothing fancy. Walk inside order from the menu on the wall and find a seat in the courtyard or upstairs. They give you a buzzer and you pick up your order and return to your seat and begin the most enjoyable/favorable/ rich clam chowder and the most juicy and flavorful full belly clams, spit of Cape Cod. Very good and worth the market price. On a personal preference point, not a fans of the french fries with that seasoning coating. Otherwise great New England treat. Lobster rolls that others had were raved about. Definitely worth a stop in St Augustine

Upstairs
Caroline B.

Delicious and packed lobster rolls. Definitely a casual spot but plenty of seating both outside and upstairs. Order at a window and then pick up the food when it's ready. Quick and kind service but by no means fancy. Came here for a good and filling lobster roll and that's exactly what I got!

Clams and lobster roll
Tara C.

A generous amount of lobster ($46) however it was almost tasteless. You can definitely tell it was frozen. Kind of disappointing. The fried clams were great ($18). They have a really nice shady outdoor area to enjoy your food.

Now that we've officially moved here, we've been back about three more times, and somehow I love it more every time. If you enjoy seafood and New Orleans-style food, this is definitely a place to put on your St. Augustine list! The service has always been good, the drinks are great, and yes, there's usually a wait, but honestly, it goes by pretty quickly. We typically grab a drink and hang outside while we wait for our buzzer to go off, which makes the wait feel much more enjoyable. I have a few favorites here that I find myself coming back to: Redfish Alexandria, absolutely delicious and one of my favorites. Andouille Crusted Grouper , another standout if you're looking for something flavorful and seafood-focused. My first choice now that the low country pasta isn't available Crab Cakes, always a good choice for appetizer. Low Country Pasta, this was a special during their Mardi Gras menu, and I was SO SAD to find out it wasn't a regular menu item because I would order this all the time! My first choice And please save room for dessert because the fried Oreos are a MUST-TRY! For drinks, you really can't go wrong, we've had a few of their signature drinks, but the Cucumber Martini was one of my favorites. Refreshing, flavorful, and definitely worth ordering! The restrooms are conveniently located both upstairs and downstairs. Parking in this part of St. Augustine can be a little difficult, but that's pretty typical for the area and definitely wouldn't stop me from coming here. Overall, Harry's has become one of those places we're happy to keep coming back to. Great food, fun atmosphere, good drinks, and plenty of New Orleans-inspired seafood dishes to choose from. Definitely worth checking out when you're visiting St. Augustine!

What a gem of a spot. I was so glad to have been able to get a reservation here for 6 people same…read moreday because it did not disappoint! The staff were incredibly helpful and welcoming. I had mentioned two guests had a birthday in my reservation and they put two birthday notecards on the table, this was a lovely touch. The ambiance outside was perfect, wasn't loud at all and lighting was moody. I had a Ruby Fizz Mocktail and it was one of the best mocktails I have ever had. The others drinks were strong and good! The food was incredible. I highly recommend the scallop toast (we ordered it a second time because it was so good!) and bread service for starter. The table really liked the empanadas, I was not a huge fan (but, I am from Miami so my empanada taste buds are different LOL). The Rockefeller Snapper was incredible. Huge piece of yellowtail and just an overall unique dish. The Scallop Cavatelli had to have been one of the best seafood dishes I have ever had. It was rich and decadent. I am not sure if they hand roll the pasta in house, but the pasta tasted so fresh. The table had some espresso martinis to end the night and I had a decaf French press coffee (I think he said French press). It was all delicious. Highly highly recommend.

There was no one at hostess stand because system was down and they were having troubles which I felt bad for the hostess who seemed stressed on obviously a busy night. They were out of both of the entrees we wanted, which was unfortunate but I ended up getting the catch beurre blanc and it was delicious. I ordered a sangria but our drinks took a very long time to come out, after our appetizer (crab, an heirloom tomato bruschetta which was yummy and more filling than regular bruschetta!) Overall, the food was really good and waitress was nice, but water was never refilled and everything took a really long time to come out. Would love to try it again on a regular night and hopefully they have the entrees we wanted to try:)

There was a live band playing cover songs and that was super fun listening to. There is a big fire pit in the middle, and the outdoor area is spacious.

From bow to stern (nautical theme here) this was just a bad experience across the board! Our waiter had zero personality and acted as if he really didn't want to be there, the food was bad, and the cost was far more than the value provided. A rainy Sunday night and not very crowded - maybe 4 - 5 tables, but somehow our food managed to get lost in the kitchen and we waited way too long for food that was (in my case) completely inedible. My wife ordered the fresh catch halibut dinner grilled, and I ordered a blackened grouper sandwich. Both entrees were heavily salted; my wife tried to wipe the seasoning off her filet, which was at least decent sized. My sandwich contained the thinnest, saltiest piece of fish I'd ever been served, and I only managed a couple bites before giving up. My wife's filet wasn't fully cooked, and since we weren't eating sushi-grade fish, my wife was concerned about that. When she told our waiter he barely glanced at her plate and his response was "That's cooked. Some people are just finicky about the texture." "Finicky??" Are you sh**ing me?? How about saying "I'm sorry, would you like me to have it cooked more?" She also pointed at my sandwich and said that it was so salty I couldn't eat it, and all he said was "I'll be back." At least he didn't tell me I was being "finicky". The manager came over shortly after and explained that our server told him we weren't pleased with our meal. My wife explained the issues and his response "Too salty? I know who that is. One of our guys over-salts a lot. I'll talk to him." He then apologized and offered to get us something else, but I declined and said I was done. He vaguely pointed at our food and said he would "discount it". While we waited for the bill my wife took what was left of her fish to the house cat sitting on the patio, and the cat wouldn't even eat it! I'm sorry Mr manager, but if you know that one of your employees has issues with preparing food correctly... either educate them or replace them! Don't apologize and admit you're aware of bad food coming out of your kitchen! And then the topper - our bill came and a whopping $13.50 was discounted from almost $90! He didn't even take off the full cost of my sandwich which was still sitting on my plate! We usually try to give benefit of the doubt to restaurants, but this experience was bad enough that we both agreed we will NOT return. This is a prime example of why zero stars should be allowed!

I also got an order of their soup of the season, which was a red curry. It was absolutely delicious. Had great flavor little spice at the end of it as well. For lunch, we split the fried chicken that comes with collard greens and whole cakes. The collard greens are by far one of the best that we have ever had. They use slab bacon and they're absolutely delicious. We've literally talked about them for years and they were just as good as we remembered. Fried chicken was nice and moist and the hocakes cakes were very sweet. For drinks, I tried one of the seasonal ones which was the witches of Eastwick. The gin based drink definitely was sweet, but exactly what I was looking for. My husband got an old-fashioned because they had black walnut bitters when he was really excited about.
