Finally decided to have an early dinner at one of the iconic restaurants in the upper keys. The backyard is large with plenty of fans to keep you comfortable as you dine. Tables are spaced well and there are plenty of island decorations. The food is island inspired with many lobster and seafood selections. Just like other local restaurants, they cook your catch. There are plenty of selections for not seafood eaters. We went earlier and for a bit had the backyard for ourselves so the service was fine. They have Apple Pay and sell gift certificates. read more

This is one of our favorite places to eat down here and come back every time. I would give it a 4.5. Menu is very extensive so there is something for everyone. Lobster is their speciality but tonight we both had lobster and had to use a knife to really saw through the meat. It was quite tough. Still very flavorful. The shrimp and scallops with the meal were delish and cooked perfectly though. To pay that much, it was just a little disappointing. Service was good. The banana bread to start is soo good! The octopus starter was good. Just a heads up, i always bring a light long sleeves. The mosquitos can get annoying. Overall, we will continue to come back! read more

Started our experience with spicy grilled octopus which was tender with a delicious sweet and spicy glaze. We had the whole fried hog fish, kids shrimp entree and fried coconut yellow fish sandwich. The hogfish was amazing, takes a bit of work to avoid bones. The coconut yellowfish sandwich drew my attention with lingonberry jam, and almond slivers on a Kaiser roll. The potato salad and Cole slaw slides were also pretty great. Service was prompt, friendly; very little wait for food. All in all, nice first meal during our visit to key largo. read more

We were out here visiting a friend, we're from Southern California. This was in the middle of our week being out there. So had been to a few other places. Our friend said this was a popular spot , so we were looking forward to it especially since other places we've gone to in the keys have been alright leading up to this. Sat outside of course and did enjoy the atmosphere the place had, laid back and still a good amount of people where it didn't feel chaotic, but still enjoyable to be dining around other people. But just like most places we've been to before in the Keys, that our friend has been taking us to. The food here was alright. Got the lobster Mac and cheese , and while the presentation was fun to look at. The taste felt a bit underwhelming. Of course there being 4 adults, and our baby. We tried each other's food, and nothing really stood out at least for myself, as to make much about. Guess the experience and being there with friends and family was more enjoyable than the food. Not that the food was bad, just expected a little more out of it. As far as service it was on par with most places out there, not memorable service but they did their job and were attentive to us. read more

Excellent Food and tremendous Service . Spent a lot more than I planned but experience was outstanding!!

Genuinely had a great experience here. Our server was chill & never made us feel rushed & because we have food considerations in our party she took a good bit of time helping guide us with great recommendations & genuinely everything we had was great. We started with the conch ceviche and the lobster jalapeño bites, definitely those lobster bites go hard! Then we had a variety of things from there all were delicious and we'd definitely revisit. read more

We were hunting down a great Lobster Roll as we were visiting the Key Largo area. The Lazy Lobster hit absolutely every point we were looking for! The Lobster roll and Cheeseburger were some of the best we've had, the lobster roll has two types a Thea, Pricilla traditional roll and a variant Lobster Roll with a Lazy Lobster twist which was truly amazing, refreshing and good till the last bite! The service and ambiance is just as amazing as the food! Priscilla, Thea and Tanner were so attentive nice and on top of everything! The Lazy Lobster also have live music and a cool outdoor seating area. If in the area I highly recommend this gem! read more

Yes yes yes to Lazy Lobster. This spot is good all day any day. The service is wonderful, the food is great, and the ambiance is keys casual. My favorite appetizer is the Lazy Conch.. this is a must have! If you like lobster, you'll love it here.. if you're not a lobster fan, there are still plenty of options to make you love it here. From the soups, to the apps, mains, and dessert (say YES to the key lime pie here!), everything is delicious. The server can also help you customize or go off menu if needed - they're great with accommodating dietary needs (like gluten free) and/or preferences. Kids meals? This place is very family friendly and they have plenty of options for the kids. The portions are great for big eaters like my son (meanwhile my daughter couldn't eat half). read more

Food is excellent and the service is just as good! Love to sit outside under the gazebo, plenty of fans to move to air around!

Absolutely Outstanding - A Must-Visit in the Keys! My partner and I had an exceptional dining experience at The Lazy Lobster. We both started with the lobster bites--mine prepared with gluten-free breading and his with jalapeño breading. Both were perfectly cooked, with an ideal crunch and incredible flavor. The lobster itself was tender, sweet, and truly the star of the dish. For our entrée, we each had the Hogfish Matecumbe-style, topped with a delicious blend of chopped tomato, shallots, capers, basil, garlic, lemon, and olive oil. The flavors were fresh, balanced, and unforgettable--hands down the best meal we had during our entire trip through the Keys! Service was just as impressive. Adi was warm, attentive, and very knowledgeable about gluten-free options. She made sure I felt comfortable with my choices and offered excellent recommendations. The decor matches the vibe perfectly--coastal casual with a fun twist. We loved the vibrant taxidermy Florida lobsters adorning the walls. Both indoor and outdoor seating are available, giving you options to enjoy the relaxed Keys atmosphere. We can't recommend The Lazy Lobster highly enough and are already looking forward to returning on our next visit! read more

If you're looking for a no-fuss, delicious seafood stop in Key Largo, The Lazy Lobster is your spot. We pulled in for lunch on our way farther down the Keys and left totally satisfied. The open-air patio was breezy and relaxed, with plenty of fans to keep things cool--perfect for that "I'm officially on vacation" feeling. We started with the Jalapeño Lobster Bites, and wow--these little crispy bites were packed with flavor. The conch bites were also a win, and the fish tacos and mahi sandwiches hit the spot. (Pro tip: Skip the fries--they were the only miss in an otherwise good meal.) What really made the experience was the service--super friendly and accommodating--and the overall easygoing Keys atmosphere. No pretension, just good food, cold drinks, and a view that makes you want to linger. Worth a stop if you're passing through Key Largo! read more

Stopped in for a quick lunch on a whim and food and drink were unfortunately average. We asked for a rum runner which was not on their drink menu and it was just OK. We tried the conch, which was absolutely drowning in a garlic butter sauce , chopped tomatoes & copious amounts of unmelted low quality hard cold Parmesan cheese which detracted from its once crispy exterior especially as it cooled. Nope. We also shared a lobster roll, and it was super basic, lean on the lobster. Fries were good tho and the service was friendly. read more

This was out first time in Key Largo and this was our best find yet! The Lazy Lobster is a locally owned restaurant and when you walk in you feel like family! The staff were all super friendly and even took time to offer recommendations for places to see while we were in town. They had a great tiki bar with outside searing but since it was 90 and we are from Pennsylvania we sat inside so we did not melt:) The food is AMAZING!! My husband and I both had the Chef's Choice "Seafood Louie Louie" which had lobster tail, shrimp, scallops, clams, muscles, and the catch of the day in a garlic cream sauce over pasta!! I have never had a seafood dish this good!!! The red sangria was the perfect drink for our dinner. Next time we will save room for desert! If you are in Key Largo... GO VISIT THE LAZY LOBSTER!! read more

This was one of the better restaurants we tried on our trip. It was conveniently located near where we were staying for the night and had solid reviews. The place was busy, but we were seated outside right away around 7 p.m. The atmosphere was lively, and our waitress had a great energy--very friendly and helpful. Following her recommendation, we started with the Jalapeño Lobster Bites. Unfortunately, they were overcooked and rubbery, so that dish was a miss. But things quickly turned around with the Oysters Moscow--fresh oysters topped with horseradish cream sauce and red and black caviar. They were large, juicy, and incredibly fresh, with the horseradish cream adding a rich, fragrant kick. A definite standout. For our main course, we went with the grilled octopus, also recommended by our waitress--and it was excellent. The octopus was perfectly cooked and served in a generous portion. We'd definitely come back here again! read more

My bf, his dad, and I stopped here for Valentine's Day dinner on our way to Marathon. We didn't have a reservation, but we were still quickly seated.

Everything we ordered was delicious. Our server, Cesar, was phenomenal. read more

Our server Javier was amazing. He was kind and fast and gave great recommendations. We shared the jalapeño lobster poppers, escargot and lobster mac 'n cheese. The escargot was a unique presentation in a small raised dish with a blanket of cheese covering it. The mac 'n cheese was served over a full butterflied lobster. The food and drinks were all very good. If I could give it 4.5 stars I would because it was very nearly perfect. Let me not leave out the complimentary banana bread - 10 starsfor that alone! read more

FIVE STARS!!!!! Definitely a five star experience in Key Largo. We were Greeted And seated Warmly, and quickly by the host staff. We got to choose our seating and Tanner. Our server was extremely kind. Polite. Helpful, and efficient. The food was utterly delicious. We had the lobster Palm Springs that had artichokes, hearts of palm, shrimp, and scallops in a garlic butter, wine sauce. The conch fritters were delicious as were the calamari appetizer. The green beans were very fresh and cooked to perfection: they were not squishy. They served a delicious banana nut bread with sweet creamy butter. The restaurant is clean. A pleasant atmosphere and I can't wait to return to Key Largo to eat there. Again. Thank you Tanner for your recommendations and making our meal a wonderful experience. Well done. ! read more

After so many years coming to the Keys, this was our first visit to The Lazy Lobster and I can't believe we waited this long! As soon as we sat down, they welcomed us with a delicious warm banana bread. We came in as a family of 6, and our waiter, Javier, was incredible. Patient, attentive, and spot-on with his recommendations. He even split our entrée for us since it was shareable, which made dining so easy. For starters, we ordered the Kaboom Shrimp, about five generously sized shrimp with a touch of coleslaw. Absolutely delicious. The homemade mozzarella sticks with marinara were some of the best we've ever had perfectly cheesy and not greasy at all. For mains, the Lobster Matecumbe was shared between two. Such a perfect shareable plate served over linguini. The lobster was tender and perfectly cooked. The tomato-caper sauce was so flavorful and they even brought us extra sauce on the side. The sauce would also be perfect to add to a toasty baguette. We also tried the Lobster Thermidor, rich and creamy, and the sauce paired perfectly with white rice. Beyond the food, every staff member we interacted with was friendly and clearly worked well as a team. Toward the end, the manager stopped by to ask how everything was which shows they genuinely care. If you're in the Keys, don't wait years like we did , go now. You won't regret it! Ask for Javier to be your waiter and they also take reservations. read more

The food was really good. I had the broiled scallops that had an egg wash on them surrounded by a sea of fresh garlic and olive oil. Amazing. My boyfriend had Hogfish which is amazing but they didn't have anything to keep it moist (hate that word)...... so it was kind of bland. The place had a great outdoor space that felt very comfortable on a hot day. Plenty of fans. Try it out. Staff was very pleasant. read more

The option to sit inside or outside is a big plus. We sat outside in the back patio. We ordered the lobster macaroni and the shrimp fra diavolo. They got us the food fast.

We wanted to like this place after hearing about it from the locals. It was our last night in the Keys and this place kinda was just "mehh" not bad but not good either. The pros: the ambience was the best part of our night. The stuffed shrimp was the best plate from our table. We ordered 2 dozen raw to start the meal, sadly they were not flavorful or shucked cleanly-This was almost the end of our dinner at that point. Our waitress, while friendly, didn't know her menu, never brought water, or even ask about refills of our drinks. When we asked what kind of oysters did they have, she said "just regular oysters" and didn't know anything about type. At the price point of about $100 per person, this was kind of lackluster. read more

($19) Key west shrimp 1/5 ($32)Lobster roll 3.5 Key lime pie 4 Very meh. Ambiance was gorgeous on the inside, matched well with the surrounding area. Food was on the subpar side, if it was not for the free banana bread in the beginning the place would have lacked some brownie points. Shrimp was poorly executed and made. Tasted like something from Panda Express, ordered some seafood expecting great quality and abundance considering each dish was hefty in price, but instead came in small cut portions or servings. Lobster roll was ok, the fries made it better but did not taste any fresher than mainland lobster. With all the reviews I really would have expected better quality and portions. read more

The service was great but the kitchen and food not so good. I ordered the chicken primavera alfredo and was pretty excited about it. When it was brought out the chicken and vegetables were over plain white rice. This meal was supposed to be served over fettuccine with alfredo sauce. It goes back to the kitchen and comes back with plain pasta and no alfredo sauce! I send it back again and this time they literally dropped alfredo sauce over the chicken and vegetables leaving plain pasta below it. What a disaster for such a simple dish. I decided to just eat it and yikes there was no flavor to the alfredo sauce. It was actually an embarrassment to alfredo sauce and Italians everywhere. After a long day, needing a good meal to end it, I was left very unsatisfied. The chicken was bland too. I ate half and tossed the rest. Our server was excellent but that couldn't save my disappointment in this restaurant. There are way too many awesome places to eat for an experience like this, steer away and try somewhere else. read more
