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.

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!

Food and service were excellent. Nice restaurant in a quiet section. Food quality was great and prices very reasonable for what you're getting. Recommend and would visit again.

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

Obsessed with The Lobster Shack! They have such affordable lobster rolls, almost everything on their menu is amazing, and they're one of those places that doesn't skimp when it comes to their lobster bisques. Every time I'm in town, I have to go to the Lobster Shack! Their staff are also friendly and the service is great.

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.

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!

South Beach Lobster Rolls and lobster taco.

This was our first time in South Beach Miami. The food at Lobster Shack was amazing. We had the warm lobster rolls lobster taco and crab legs.

Clams
Michael T.

Had the lobster roll, clams and stone crab "in season." The crab was delicious! First time trying stone crab and we were lucky because it was still in season. Also had the clams, they were ok. Kinda tiny and salty. The lobster roll was ok.

Lotus French toast

Lots of pic taking in the restaurant. It wasn't the weekend so it wasn't crowded at all. Plenty of room for our party of 10

Lobster bisque, live Maine lobster, shrimp scampi, and crab cake

It was an unforgettable seafood experience from start to finish! The ambiance was perfect, cozy with a beach vibe that made me feel right at home. Service was impeccable. Our server was attentive, knowledgeable about the menu, and made excellent recommendations. The drink selection was a strawberry daiquiri, which was a great pairing with our meal.

I love this place! The waitresses are friendly and fast, the food comes out fast and the seafood is always so fresh and soft and good. I stop by every time i visit south beach for a crab or lobster roll, and a couple drinks

Spicy Lobster Roll
Jaleesa H.

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.

Snow crab and shrimp, yummy!

Need to tip since it's self serve? Just want to make sure what is the normality here? Thank you

Well, it's not self-serve, nor is it strictly counter-service only. You place your order and pay at the counter, go sit down, they bring you the food when it's ready, check on you from time to time, and clear everything after you leave. Typically,… Read more

We went on a weeknight at the end of the night and were the only ones in there. The restaurant is very cozy and cute. Everything was an absolute hit. We ordered the crab cakes, fish dip, scallop & pork belly, surf + turf burger and key lime pie. Every single thing was a 10/10. Service was nice and gave us excellent recommendations. I can't wait to go back and try more things!

When we walked in we were greeted by Sarah. And my friend who made the reservations thought she made it for this Monday and it was actually for last Monday. But Sarah said no problem will accommodate you come right in. Our waiter was Chris. I can't say enough about him. He professionalism, his attention and his friendliness. We ordered our drinks and appetizers. (See pics) Everyone of the appetizers were well presented, the taste was delicious and the portions were enough for two. I ordered the lettuce wedge with a crab cake. My friend ordered the ravioli. The ambiance is perfect for date night.

Service is super helpful and friendly - we asked for recommendations specifically catered for non pork options and the staff was kind and attentive and offered a lot of different options. We ended up with a tartufo gnocchi and a burrata pizza but put the mortadella on the side. Perfect to share for two people. The space just looks like you're transported to the coast, great vibes, even singing for birthdays you can hear from other tables, a real treat from the hustle and bustle of Miami Beach. Highly recommend if you want something a bit more chill and relaxed with great food made with care in the Italian way.

The woman that sat us handed my daughter and I menus and said "for the lady", and handed my very pretty but short haired wife a menu and said nothing. An awkward interaction at best. Next our server came and took our orders and served some delicious warm bread with olive oil and vinegar. The food: Salmon dinner: son said the salmon was tender and flavorful and the veggies were tasty. The potatoes arrived a bit cold. Linguini with clams: my order and everyone at the table snagged a few bites. It was very flavorful with a great presentation. A slightly small portion. Cesar salad with chicken: wife's order. Salad was fine but the chicken was dry. Caciao a pepe (I think) table side pasta dish with pasta tossed in a big cheese wheel with burrata cheese and truffles. This dish was $$$$ and expectations were high. Unfortunately the pasta was VERY COLD and the truffle flavor was completely overwhelming. After about ten minutes we finally got our server's attention and he brought the dish back to the kitchen to reheat. I like truffles to the point where I get truffle fries whenever I can, and have a bottle of truffle oil at home that I use regularly, however, this was a pretty intolerable level of truffle flavor. We left with the dish, mostly uneaten. Besides the food, we ordered three Shirley Temples and one glass of Pinot Grigio. Our total bill was around $280. I had high expectations but for the price point we left feeling very disappointed.
