Awesome place loved the lobster roll and conch fritters! Cool little shops around while we waited for our food. Katie was super nice and down to earth can't wait to stop by again! read more

Great local spot for a lobster roll! The woman who owns it is very kind and cool great service and a must stop for the unreal homemade pasta salad! read more

Finally! I have been trying to stop by this place on my way in to and out of the lower Keys for quite some time and always JUST miss the hours of operation window. I may have a few selfies with the gigantic lobster out front throughout my photo history to prove it. I will first say to those that give poor reviews because there's "nothing to the lobster roll" or "it's just lobster and lettuce" ...shame on you. Yes! It's just lobster and lettuce! As it should be! Why would someone take beautiful and freshly cooked lobster and bastardize it with extras?? That would be a crime. My .02 for what it's worth. This place is exactly what it advertises to be on the sign. It's a lobster shack. Nothing fancy, no bells and whistles and no claims of any of that. It's a super cute shack on the side of the road with picnic tables, decorated with fun signs and multi-colored trinkets. My boyfriend and I both ordered a lobster roll with a side of pasta salad and split a Coke (old school nostalgic glass bottle). At $13 per lobster roll and pasta salad (or chips) combo, this little gem of a meal is more than reasonable. The roll is a good size, very lightly toasted and stuffed with simply lobster and lettuce. The lobster was slightly sweet and cooked to perfection, just melts in your mouth. The pasta is obviously homemade and lightly dressed with a vinaigrette rather than mayo. I may have dipped the tail end of my lobster roll in the remaining vinaigrette, not because it needed it, but because I thought that would be more appropriate than just licking the glass bowl. The vinaigrette was delicious and to be honest, I really don't think anyone woulda thought much of a little glass bowl hanging off of my face. Maybe next time. After we ate, we walked around the little shops that are adjacent to the shack which sell all sorts of 'Keys type' odds and ends from tye dyed dresses to signs to painted buoys. Definitely worth the stop. Definitely will be back again. read more

Service is fast, but that is about the only thing this place has going for itself. Ambience is neat as it is outdoors, great for a sunny afternoon lunch. I was excited to try this place as it had been on my radar for some time, but it disappointed as far as the food went - this is a mom &a pop kind of place in the Florida Keys and I thought it was safe to assume that they would serve locally caught Florida/spiny lobster, but instead the lobster was from Maine...overpriced and definitely not a same day catch. If visiting the keys, I wouldn't recommend this place for lobster, despite its name. read more

We stopped at this cute little joint on our way to Key West to get some takeout for a beach picnic. Once you get passed the monstrosity that is a 20 foot tall lobster sculpture, the slightly abrasive order taker and the odd decor (including a decapitated Santa head on a pike) the food was just what we were looking for. Alyson called their lobster roll her favorite thing we ate on our whole trip. The bun was perfectly toasted and stuffed with a generous portion of lobster. Since we were in the Keys, Joe pushed for the conch fritters. The fritters were a bit soggy but still enjoyable. A side of remoulade versus honey mustard would have taken them up a notch. Both came with a fresh pasta salad of tricolor rotini and black olives in olive oil. Of course it was key lime pie for dessert. We took our order along with a bottle of white wine and enjoyed them under the shade of a mangrove tree on Anne's Beach 20 miles up the road. It was our own little slice of heaven. read more

Great stop on the way from Key Largo to Key West. My wife and I both got the lobster roll. We were going to split one but decided to each get one. It was the right decision. Yum! read more

Amazing food. Miss Katie is the best--she's always wonderful to my kids and me when we visit. We always take our friends here when they come visit because it's a big hit with our guests . The lobster roll is delicious, and we also love the bacon, egg and cheese sandwich (trust me--it's amazing), the Cuban sandwich, the chicken salad sandwich, hamburgers, and the Caesar salad are also among our favorites. Insider tip--get the pasta salad--it is unique (made with mandarin oranges and pickles), but the combination is so good; you'll crave it for days. We love to drink the fresh lemonade and the Mexican cokes too. My kids ask me almost every day if they get to go eat at Miss Katie's Lobster Shack. Don't pass it up! It's worth the visit. read more

This place is amazing. The food, atmosphere and pleasantries with Katie were phenomenal. Must come again and everytime i'm down here. The lobster roll was so good I had to get another one.

A little hole in the wall. Had a cappuccino and macadamia nut ice coffee. Both were perfect. We topped it off with a frozen key lime pie dipped in chocolate on a stick! Fantastic. The owner, Katie was the nicest person. Katie took our order and was most pleasant. As we talked with the owner we got conch fritters. They were perfect. Definitely stop in when you stop to see Betsy the giant lobster. read more

This place attracts people with a huge lobster outside. The place looks dirty and there is no soap or water in the restroom. The $4 coffee is served in styrofoam cups and is not tasty. The owner is not friendly. read more

This place really lived up to its reputation- The lobster roll was the best I ever had. Loved the roll in came on. We also had the Conch fritters which were amazing! Even the coffee was delicious! Katie, the owner, was very hospitable and made us feel at home in "the shack". read more

Definitely worth a stop. Simple, no fuss lobstah roll made with love. Pasta salad is delish. Not an ounce of mayo in anything, bravo. Also noteworthy: best colada I've had in ages.. and I'm a south Florida resident so coladas are my crack! Stop there, you won't regret it. read more

Found this place today.... across the street from where we are staying.... the lobster roll was so good.... the pasta salad was very good and the Cuban coffee was amazing!!!! You won't be disappointed!! read more

Overpriced coffee from a cheap coffee machine. Dirty restrooms, no water or soap. Rude owner.

Taking a day trip from Stock Island, we stopped at Bahia Honda Park first, we realized we were halfway between two Lobster Shacks. Since it rained on our trip in, we decided to head north. Unbeknownst to us, the is a huge flea market that happens at Islamorada. We sat in 2 hours of traffic for a lobster roll, a lobster roll that we never enjoyed because this place was closed. I suggest you call instead of trust the internet hours that are listed. I have to give a star to post, but our trip wasn't really one star worthy. read more

I wanted to really like the food here but the lobster roll was just ok. Other than than there's not much I can say. This is an outdoor counter style place with a definite laid back Caribbean island vibe. There was plenty of seating at one of the colorful wooden picnic style tables. Service was friendly and the rolls tasted fresh just a bit average. I guess our experience here just was not as spectacular as it apparently was for others. The only reason I would eat here again is because the place is part of a little bohemian styled collection of shops that are set up like a very cute and whimsical village and I would probably stop by for a bit of a break again on the way down to the Keys. read more

I almost didn't find it but so glad I did. They have to most amazing Lobster Rolls full of Maine lobster, the best one's south of Maine! The pasta salad that you can get with it was delicious too. Then, top it off with the Key Lime Pie and Cuban coffee!! To die for read more

I love this place. I was only in town for a short while yet I made sure to go back. It's a small little place nestled inside an artist's community. Outside dining under the palm trees on picnic tables. I fell in love with the lobster rolls and her homemade pasta salad. I thought the price was reasonable considering the cost of everything in Florida. The staff was friendly and time permitting, were willing to chat about the local area. Fun, quaint and definitely delicious. read more

We had the hot dogs for a quick bite before continuing. The propaganda is very misleading with pictures of a combo and then selling things independently. If you want a quick bite then you are better off eating at the nearest gas station. More expensive than it was worth. read more

I don't understand why the reviews are raving about this place... The lobster roll was OK the best part is there was no mayonnaise in it but other than that just mediocre the fiancé and I split one of the snack just to see what all the reviews are about you could skip this place and not be missing anything read more

The lobster roll was amazing. The pasta salad was homemade and delicious. We had a big group of people and she took the time to make all of our meals by herself and she really cares. She brought us extra pasta salad and even key lime pie. Such an amazing experience and delicious food!! read more

Stopped here going to Key West. The lobster roll was so good that we stopped again going back. Lobster is cool, tender & sweet-- and the bun (sweet like Hawaiian bread) was toasted and chewy. Sit and eat outside under an umbrella and shop a little afterwards at the adjoining shops. Don't forget their yummy key lime pie either! Look for the big lobster in front. read more

we loved this place, and its owner, Katie. she has a ton of personality and her coffee was amazing. unfortunately we weren't in a position to sample her famous Lobster Rolls or Key Lime pie, but if the coffee was any indication I'm sure the food is amazing. even if all you do is get a beverage to cool you down, check out her shack. it's politically incorrect in all the right kind of ways, and we would go back in a heartbeat! read more

Look for the giant lobster out front and walk on back to the Lobster Shack! The lobster roll was delicious and paired with home made pasta salad.
