Atmosphere: This place is very homey and the lighting inside is great (not too bright but not too dim as to where you can't see). It has a very hole-in-the-wall atmosphere and the music is not too loud. The wait staff is also very nice and attentive. Food: I got the "Naked Lobster Roll" with a side of Lobster Bisque...and it was one of the best rolls and bisque I've ever had in my whole 20 years of life. The food came out fresh and quick, although there weren't many people there besides us. Overall: This place was absolutely amazing and I would eat here everyday for the rest of my life if I could. read more

The Lobster Shack - Outdoor seating on the strip - Seafood Near Me - Miami Beach, Florida

Stopped in here while visiting Miami Beach since it was so convenient location wise. I can remember the last time I had lobster so it was a nice treat. All in all a lobster water and salad cost about $50 since they add a service charge. Service was pretty slow/nonexistent but the tables outside were nice and it was a great spot to people watch read more

Been visiting this location since 2018 when I used to visit Fl on vacations. In 2021 I moved down to South Fl, and it has since become a spot in Miami I bring all my family too when they now come to visit me. If you want good, flavorful, and stuffed lobster rolls, this is the place to come too. Pricing is on high side, but you get what you pay for, a loaded lobster, or crab roll, well with very dollar. We usually all order one roll with a side each, and take our food outside to sit. It's nostalgic for us, and we enjoy coming here time and time again. The staff are always friendly and welcomes us right away, with taking our orders. After the meal, the water isn't too far from the restaurant so it's always nice to go sit by the edge and take in the beautiful Miami views. read more

Fantastic food & friendly staff. We sat outside (weather was perfect) and split a cajun shrimp roll, a large lobster bisque, and a small new england clam chowder (not pictured). This was perfect for two of us - we felt full and not uncomfortably stuffed. The service was just fine, the quality of the food really shines and at a reasonable price point! read more

As I sat down, I untied and loosened my wrap skirt to make room for the expansion of my stomach- the menu had me salivating. What to choose... what to choose. We ended up getting three buttered lobster rolls with lobster bisque. Naturally my kids were stuffed and I ended up finishing their food - it was delicious. Truly. Buttery delicious chunks of lobster ... so good. Left very pleased. Service was good and the tables outside were nice. This was my second time at this location, and it did not disappoint read more

After getting off a cruise ship but looking to kill some time before our flight home, we ended up here at The Lobster Shack. It's an unassuming spot with lots of character and interesting bar decor. My group had an eclectic selection of decent menu items including a burger, a chopped wedge salad and of course, a lobster roll. I also had the most delicious Miami Vice that gave me a little buzz and was refreshing and cooling at the same time. I was super grateful that the server kept my waters coming and filled my water bottle before we left. It was HOT, HOT and hydration is key! This location is perfectly located a block from the beach where we headed right after our meal for a departing dip in the glorious waters of Miami Beach before heading to the airport and back to real life. read more

Delicious food and drinks served you on the beach?!?! Signed me up first on the list! Orders are placed easily via text and you are immediately responded with an estimated time of delivery. The food is brought directly to you by a kind employee. They take cash or card and are more than happy to bring more food if you wish. Like my last review, the food is perfect and exactly what you should be eating on a beach. They do all the lobster rolls right and make some killer tacos too. Having alcohol alcoholic drink drinks was just a plus in my book. Would love to come and enjoy their service the next time I'm back in Miami! read more

Sooooo good!!! The lobster bisque was delicious and the lobster roll ....yummy!! Highly recommend.

The service was decent. A little slow. I should've known better than to expect good quality because this place is located on south beach. Unfortunately the lobster rolls tee not very good. The lobster was tough and chewy and I feel the rolls were under filled. read more

Overrated. Ordered fish tacos and the tortillas literally fell apart so then had to eat the other one with a fork. Husband ordered roll which is not cheap and the menu make it seems like it comes with a side but it's and extra $4.95. There is a 18% gratuity charge but also suggests adding a tip. It was $79 for two adults and a kid. read more

Really neat little place! Great, homey atmosphere and kind staff. This was my first time trying a lobster roll, and I was thoroughly impressed! I had the Cajun lobster roll with clam chowder on the side. The lobster roll was full of flavor, fantastic bread and great sauce.

Was in town visiting family, exploring the beach, and we decided to hop in for a quick bite of lunch. Nice location, and should you choose to eat outside, shaded in the afternoon. You order at the counter inside, and they bring your food to your table. I decided to go for the 2.5 lb cooked lobster, and I opted for the "lazy" lobster (they crack it open for you, for a small fee). This came with a side of jalapeño Cole slaw. The slaw was good, but not great, although I did enjoy the heat from the jalapeños in it. The lobster was cooked well, and was delicious. Plenty of butter and lemon for dipping. My nephew tried their surf and turf burger, and said it was very good, although he wasn't a fan of the pickle-flavored potato chips they gave him. This is at the beach, so it's a little pricey in my opinion. But the serving sizes were good, and the food was good. I say the splurge was worth it! If I'm back down, will definitely try their lobster roll. read more

Taking a visit to Miami South Beach, please skip over all the hound restaurants on the strip of ocean drive and walk yourself down the strip to this small hole in the wall Lobster Shack. It's past 1st street. So it's about a 15 minute walk from the Versace Mansion (or so) . It's table seating inside and out and is perfect for groups no more than about 8. This way you don't have to pull tables together. I was greeted by the bartender as well as the server who was taking care of a table when I walked in, however she still made it her business to say "hello". You can walk in and grab a menu from bar entrance (counter) and sit anywhere inside or out. The team is a friendly bunch that pairs well together. I Almost would walk away saying everything was well priced, however my only draw back were the oysters. They were 20.00, and tiny for a half dozen. Other then this the food taste amazing. EVERYTHING was fresh, even the over priced tiny oysters . The Bread was delightful on both the crab dip (which seemed to be a sour dough slice). The bread on the rolls melted in your mouth so buttery and grilled to perfection. I was sad when the last bite came about. To be truthful I would order one to eat and one for the road.... No diet day here and you won't regret it! The Cajun shrimp roll was a burst of flavor. Perfect amount of seasoning on a buttery roll with a Cajun aioli that was splendid on my palate. The pickle on the side is a perfect pairing. You can also select chips, soup or coleslaw for an up charge to the roll. The crab dip was loaded with grab in every bite, perfect amount of spinach and cheese , well worth the price and enough to spread a large amount on all the bread given. Crab bisque was nice and creamy with a buttery flavor. Hit it with the crushed salt, a dash of hot sauce and let's not forget the oyster crackers. Placing you for dance party of flavor in your mouth. The fresh seafood platter was well worth the price. Not over cooked or chewy and super fresh. Good assortment. The shrimp in the garlic butter was a pleasant Burst of flavor in which I poured over everything. To wash that all down I ordered the Guava Jalapeño margarita. Which comes with infused jalapeño tequila. I could sit here, eat a roll of your choosing as you can't go wrong, and have about four of these to stumble out to the beach and layout happy. Your taste buds will thank you! Be sure to check them out... P.S - bathrooms well clean (toilet paper dispenser was broken so it was placed just in the bathroom. Hot water to wash your hands Bar is stocked with many different varieties It's a small joint, you could miss it. Very clean Good looking staff read more

I would say the food is delicious but I cannot justify spending $80 on two lobster rolls that are not bigger than your hand. Maybe if they were stuffed a little more I'll be more inclined, but the role is not bigger than a hot dog bun from Walmart if that justifies how small it is. The salad was bigger than the roll and it was like a sad salad. read more

I'm a lobster roll fanatic & my favorite lobster roll restaurant in Miami closed on me. My boyfriend been holding out on this restaurant, and we finally were driving through South Beach. Going shopping one day and decided to grab some lunch and boy do I wish I grabbed another roll to go for dinner!! Everything tasted so fresh the bread, the lobster and the sauce even was light yet perfect. I'm not exaggerating, out of everything to eat on South Beach this is it! It's at the end of the strip with parking directly in front of it if your lucky. Jussssst take it to go, as it's a little boring inside and the service was dry. Inside isn't bad, the rural look is cool. & I wish they had Fries . read more

Pros: -location - good outdoor seating (small indoor seating) - fast service - pay upfront; delivered to your table - king claw lobster roll Cons: - the lobster bisque v clam chowder was nearly identical - perhaps a tourist trap but it was good - the spinach and cheese oyster This spot is right off the beach so whether you are looking for a nice little meal off the surf or off the street this is the place for you. We went in for lunch and there was plenty of seating at the time. Each item on the menu was about $20 so expect to be dropping a few coins in this establishment. Food: Lobster Bisque: 2/5 - Tasted like clam chowder but without the clams and it was yellow. Clam Chowder: 2/5 - Tasted like lobster bisque but with little clam meat. Oysters: 3/5 - It was to my understanding that we got the raw oysters but we were all surprised when we saw the spinach and cheese on top of ours. As a person who can eat raw fish without hesitation, raw oysters would not be a problem for me. If you are someone who is on the conservative side when consuming raw shellfish then this is a good starter pack for you. You really can't taste the shellfish because of the contents on top. It tasted like spinach and artichoke dip on top of a shell so if you like those flavors get it. Lobster Roll: 5/5 - Good, fresh, a decent amount of crab. The total bill for 3 (including drinks) was around $130 Note: They do have hot and cold rolls so make sure you look carefully at which has which. read more

Delish lobster rolls albeit tinier than the last visit...didn't have a bite of chowder that didn't have sand in it

Giving a 3, but really mean 3.5. We ordered fish, lobster and shrimp tacos and all were good but needed either some sauces or spice to help with the flavor. The lobster was soft but the taco itself lacked flavor. I would go back for fish or shrimp. We also had both the regular and guava jalapeño margaritas. The regular good but the guava jalapeño was great! Had to get seconds, would recommend! The service was good and our food came out quick. read more
