I dream about this place all the time. It's exceptional service everytime. The food comes out fairly quickly and taste dynamite every single time. You order at the counter when you walk in and you can sit down anywhere. They have indoor and outdoor seating. The interior is fairly clean and very organized and the condiments are always stocked. They have a self serve water and soda station. The lobster is on the pricier side. It used to not be $30 however it is very worth it. I love to get the warm lobster roll and it comes with a lobster butter. I like to get their coconut shrimp since it's hand battered on site and also their onion rings are also hand battered made to order. They have a really good smoky dipping mayo sauce that comes with the onion rings or fries. It is a very good sauce. I would say it's the saltier version of cane sauce and a small gear version as well. It's absolutely phenomenal. You will never find a better coconut shrimp or a better onion rings than here this place really does it very well better than any place I've ever had homemade. The lobster roll is very very fresh. I would definitely get it again. It is always always fresh. You'll never get a bad lobster roll here not like at the other places. I think this is the only place in Florida that does it the best I used to fly to Boston just to get a lobster roll and ever since I've been here I don't have to do that anymore lol. Their clam chowder soup is extra thick and that is the best type of clam chowder soup ever I loved just dip my onion rings in there and the coconut shrimp in there and the lobster roll in there. It is absolutely delicious. The best you'll get in the area. read more

Great place near the beach and a short drive from Clearwater beach area. This place is small about 5 tables inside and a couple outside. The food is amazing. Coconut Shrimp - skip the fries and slaw and get the cup of chowder. The chowder is packed full of calms and is super delish. Ask for regular cocktail sauce this one comes with chili sweet sauce which is good but also over powering. The shrimp are HUGE you get about 6-7 of them. Garlic shrimp roll - flavor of goodness. Comes with fries we substituted for onion rings. Fried shrimp basket - nicely fried with slaw and fries. The staff were all super nice. read more

My husband and I came to visit and stayed at the beach for a long weekend. Our hotel wasn't far so we decided to try DJ's. It's a super casual little spot. You walk up to the counter to place your order and then seat yourself. It's not a huge place but there are plenty of tables. The portions were generous and they even have a lobster roll on the menu. My husband had the clam strips and I had the grouper sandwich special. The fries came out hot and fresh which is always one of my make or breaks. Staff was friendly and the restaurant was clean. We will definitely come back when we're in the area again! read more

Stopped in for dinner with my mom and nieces, and we had such a great experience! The hot lobster roll was incredible, and the steamed clams were absolutely delicious. Everything was fresh and flavorful. We'll definitely be back! read more

DJ's Clam Shack in Indian Shores, Florida -- YEP, I FOUND ANOTHER PLACE I NEED TO ADD TO THE ROTATION! Let me start by saying the staff was above and beyond friendly. You know that kind of friendly where you leave thinking, "Yep, these are my people"? That! And then there was the lobster roll. This was my FIRST time ever having one, and WOW! Where have you been all my life?! It was absolutely outstanding. Apparently, I've been living in Florida and somehow missed this little piece of seafood heaven! Great food, great people, and that laid-back Florida vibe we all love. I'd definitely recommend DJ's Clam Shack, and I'll be bringing the family back--because now they need to know what they've been missing! Just another reason I love living in Florida... sunshine, seafood, and finding places that make you say, "Why didn't I try this sooner?" read more

Some friends and I visited around dinner time and had a great experience. The blue cheese wedge salad was great and the hot, buttered Lobster Roll was one of the best I've had in the area. It had a lot of whole pieces of lobster meat and the portion was perfect for the price. read more

D.J.'s Clam Shack is a great little beachy restaurant for made-to-order seafood and more. Rumor has it they have a great lobster roll, but we opted for their delicious clam chowder and fish and chips. The chowder is the best we've had and is loaded with clams for authentic New England flavor.  And it comes with real oyster crackers! Love it! I was happy to see that their fish and chips features mahi, a local fish, instead of northern cod. I agree with the owner - "Eat local fish!" It was perfectly tender and sweet, and the coating was light and crispy with maybe a touch of onion powder for a little extra savory flavor. The owner was behind the counter and he brought our lunch to the table himself, so you know he is a "the buck stops here" kind of guy!  Super friendly and knowledgeable, keeping everyone happy with fresh seafood, and always on the scene to stay true to his vision of delicious food and great service. Seating indoors and out, a cooler of beer at the counter, lots of parking out front and gulf beaches across the street. Next time, we will try their fried clams which looked very tasty at the next table! Oh, yeah, we'll be back :-) read more

As a resident of Clearwater, I'm often asked where to go for seafood!!! This place is high on the list of recommendations! No frills, local, and always fresh! My friends, who are lobster roll fanatics, tell me that the rolls here are the best around by far! I love the breaded clams strips! So fresh and delish. Today, the drink special was a mango piña colada! This is one of those places that make you feel like you're on vacation! So glad it's right here in my county! read more

Excellent lunch spot!! It's a small spot, but great and easy to order at the counter and grab a seat. We came for lunch on a Saturday (12:45) and easily snagged two tables for our large group. The servers were so friendly and prompt with taking orders and bringing out the food (although there was only one guy at the grill, so our large party of 8 reasonably had to wait a little. Everything we got, we loved!! I got the cold lobster roll (AMAZING, just as good as the ones you get in the northeast, not too much mayo and nice chunks of celery) with coleslaw and sweet potato fries (both delicious), my husband got the hot lobster roll (equally amazing) with "some of the best onion rings ever" according to many people in our group, and others got incredible mahi tacos (nice and tender with a spicy remoulade on flour tortillas), a shrimp po boy, and plump coconut shrimp. Everything was a hit!! We will absolutely be back! read more

We dropped by this place after watching the beach sunset. I had the clam chowder. Have you had the lobster roll and a basket of fries. The fries came with a barbecue sauce of sorts. Very interesting flavor. The lobster roll is both hot and cold. We opted for the hot one. The clam chowder hit the spot specially because it was kind of chilly outside. It's a quaint spot And the food is great. I must go to if you're visiting the area. read more

DJs Clam Shack - Over stuffed lobster roll - Seafood Near Me - Indian Shores, Florida

We stopped in at DJ's Clam Shack in Indian Rocks and were pleasantly surprised! The Maine lobster rolls were absolutely delicious--fresh, flavorful, and honestly even better than the ones we had at Bealls in Bar Harbor, Maine, which says a lot. The atmosphere is casual and relaxed, and the staff was warm, friendly, and welcoming, which made the experience even better. The only reason I'm giving 4 instead of 5 stars is because they don't offer a kids' meal. For a spot that feels family-friendly, it was a bit frustrating that the kid-friendly items were on the pricier side, and the chicken tenders were a little too unique for my kids' tastes. A simple kids' option would make a big difference for families. Overall, though, great food, great people, and definitely worth a visit--especially if you love a good lobster read more

Walk up counter to order, on the beach in a small strip mall and beach casual. The food is basically all fried but also delicious! They bring it to you fresh out of the fryer and everything is made to order. The clams are delicious, various fish and shrimp tacos, fish n chips, all delicious and quality seafood. I've been here several times and both food and service have been consistent, fresh, friendly and a wide selection of drinks to wash it down. read more

Stopped here for lunch during a recent trip to Madero Beach. It's a seafood restaurant that has been on Diners Drive ins and Dives. I ordered the fish and chips which was made with Maui . The wife ordered fried shrimp. Both meals were delicious and we would certainly order them again. We did not order the Lobster Roll due to the price and the fact that we were going to be eating dinner soon. The staff were very friendly and helpful and the food was delicious. I certainly will return next time I'm there. read more

Great place to stop in for seafood! We just left the beach and were looking for seafood. This place came up on Yelp with good reviews. They did not disappoint, I had the Mahi Mahi tacos and hubby had fish and chips. It's small and we worried there was no place to sit. It didn't take long for a table to open up. The table was quickly cleaned and ready in no time. Wait service was friendly and kind and made us feel very welcomed. The food delivered quickly and was hot and ready. Will definitely go there again when back in the area! Loved hearing the stories of how it all began. read more

From the moment we walked in, Jimmy and Sarah were the friendliest restaurateurs we've encountered. It had a casual ambiance but was incredibly clean especially just a few weeks post hurricane! The hot lobstah roll was the best I've had in years! (Probably either the best or second best I've ever had). The mahi mahi tacos also had great flavor and the fish was cooked to perfection! The clam chowder was good too but I was probably too full to appreciate it! We will definitely be back regularly! read more

If you are looking for fresh, fried seafood DJ's is your place in the Indian Shores area. Perhaps you want to check the Original Crabby's off the list as an institution, OK--I get that. However, if you are seeking fresh, made to order fish, shrimp and fries with a cold beverage without the crowds, you won't be disappointed with DJ's. The shrimp are big and tasty. The Mahi was fresh and firm. Your regular fixin's (fresh cut fries W/O any batter thank goodness and slaw are solid). Tarter and cocktail sauce are typical fair. Features Coke products at the fountain and most of your standard American brews with a couple micros for good measure. Place is clean. About five tables inside w/seating capacity of about 20 inside with a couple picnic tables and high tops outside. Solid, solid fried seafood dinner. Came twice and was very happy both times. Conch fritters were good with a notable amount of meat. Clam chowder was solid too. They offer Ipswich clams and lobster rolls too. Fish or shrimp tacos. Steak and cheese and hot dogs if anyone in your party is not a seafood fan. Service is good bringing fresh hot food to your table just out of the fryer. You get your own drinks. read more

DJs Clam Shack - Menu 6/30/2025 - Seafood Near Me - Indian Shores, Florida

There are very few places that I am willing to be a frequent at because I can't settle for average food, when there are so many good places out there to try.... But DJ's has won me over. I've heard so much about DJ's especially when I was in Key West, then come to find out we have a location here in Indian Rocks! A true blessing right there! Before I even arrived my expectations were high given the hype of the place--yet it did not disappoint! Upon arrival mid day on Saturday we were immediately greeted by the server/host. She was so attentive and recommended her favorites on the menu! One was the conch and I can't wait to try it next time I go, but I couldn't pass up fish tacos & my friend got a lobster roll (which can be so hit or miss). It would be an understatement to say we were pleased. We were both hungry after a Long Beach morning and we both left satisfied. My tacos were huge and I couldn't even finish the fries. My friend got a hot lobster roll with butter and my heavens I could've ate that as well. As known, lobster is not cheap and this roll was worth every penny off the $28 spent! I believe the tacos were about $17 which hit the spot too! We both got waters but they have a wide selection of bottled and canned alcoholic beverages I'd love to try! The restaurant had people coming and going but it wasn't crazy busy! I can see this place being very popular, but keep in mind there's only a few tables and parking is limited! I can't wait to come back and try something new or I'd be completely content getting the same thing! read more

Everything I got was good here. Family of 5, tried the tacos quesadilla lobster roll and the chicken sandwich. Service was fast and people taking the order were really nice!

Lovely decor reminded us about Key West where the restaurant was transported from. A gem not to miss if you like seafood! read more
