Fresh buttery perfection served up here! ;) PJ Lobster House was the perfect meal option while in town. Popped into this lovey, wood polished establishment for lunch and ordered up crispy juicy coconut shrimp app along with a bowl of lobster bisque soup to start. The soup was creamy and delicious with big lobster chunks, not having to hunt for it or just tasting seafood broth here ;) Both came out quick and were on point. Personally followed that up with a hot a buttery lobster roll. It was fresh and juicy even before adding a bit more butter. They serve it up on a proper roll that was slightly toasted but soft with each bite. My Mr had two of the juiciest lobster tails with cole slaw and a garden salad. Sadly couldn't stay to try out a dessert since we had the baby wanting their liquid lunch too, but know the wait staff was super sweet and quick getting all that was needed and asked for super timely. *Noted: Street and municipal parking lot available. Good stable Koala changing table in the ladies room. read more

Had a great lunch at PJ's. I know it has a lot of mixed reviews, but my food was good and my drink was scrumptious! Would definitely be back. I had the clam linguini, and it was one of the best ones I've tried. My pasta came with a side salad, which was fresh and tasty. The coconut margarita was too good! Had to get another one. My husband had the lobster roll. Our friends had the seafood paella (which was devoured) and fried oysters. The fried oysters tasted more like dough than oysters though. read more

My stuffed lobster was excellent, my wife had the twin broiled lobster tail which was also cooked to perfection. It was on the pricey side but it was so good. I'll be going back again it was worth it. Our waitress was great, The parking was the biggest inconvenience. The inside of the restaurant is very nicely done & clean, a very nice place read more

I have previously had a good experience here, but my last one was simply not good. The grilled shrimp were dry and rubbery, and not deveined. I ordered steamed red potatoes that looked like the dirt wasn't even cleaned off of them. read more

Personally wouldn't go here again. The seafood was chewy and honestly unappetizing I was so excited to have my first libster roll of the summer and was so disappointed. The service was ok. The ambience was a little disappointing just because I was straight under a ac vent and I got sick from it. The cookie skillet was good though but I wish it came with more ice cream. Overall personally I think it was overpriced n quality was bad. Also I've never seen such small clams and the lobster bisque did not taste fresh read more

Came by for brunch with my family and based on the reviews, it was supposed to be a solid spot. However, some dishes we tried were hit or miss. A lot of it was salty and not memorable. I was so disappointed given the reviews and the promising menu. The lobster dishes were underwhelming, especially the lobster Mac and cheese. The flavor was just a regular baked Mac but with pieces of lobster claw in it. We came during a cooler time of year, Feb. 2025 so that explains why the restaurant was quite empty. Service was good and our waitress was very friendly. However, for the pricing, there were not enough unique items to try. I noticed on the menu there was sushi options. But we didn't order. The lobster bisque was a tad salty. And the fried seafood platter my friend and I shared was good at first bite. However, everything started to taste very one note. I would pass on this place unless it's the right season. read more

PJ Lobster House - Seasonal specials - Seafood Near Me - Port Jefferson, New York

We're seafood fans, so we booked a table for two on our special night. The night started off with the waitress slipping away our bread, but she was sweet, she got us a fresh, warm one with an apology. The seafood was average, a little disappointed on the cocktail shrimp. We were pretty happy with the sashimi which was a little more expensive than the market. We'd recommend not to order steak here, just seafood as needed. Safe to go on the clams, pastas will break your bank. read more

My family and I grabbed dinner at the Port Jeff Lobster House on a busy Saturday evening, and overall, it was a nice experience. The restaurant is located directly downtown in PJ, and there is a parking lot that leads right up to the building. We made a reservation for 6PM, and were seated immediately when we walked in. One thing I quickly noticed was that our table wasn't given waters right away (or at all), and the drink service for beer and wine started off a bit slow. But the rest of the service was quick. They came over with complimentary bread for the table, and we loved this for us! For appetizers, we ordered the calamari and mussels in white wine sauce. The mussels portion was huge! Both were excellent. The calamari was perfectly crisp, and the mussels were fresh and the sauce was super flavorful. For dinner, I went with the crab legs and a side salad. The crab legs was exactly what I had been craving. My dad ordered the shrimp scampi, and my sister chose the Linguini with White Clam Sauce. I gave both of their meals a try, and while I absolutely loved the shrimp scampi (perfect balance with the garlic and shrimp), I wasn't blown away by the clam sauce on the linguini. My nephew had their penne ala vodka, which I would absolutely order for my entree next time, and my niece had the mac and cheese (as a kid at heart, this was tasty). I look forward to returning to the PJ Lobster House for the calamari and crab legs! I'd love to give their lobster rolls a try, too! read more

Unfortunately super disappointing. Great service, beautiful place, but the food is so bad we found it funny. The lobster bisque came in what i would describe as cambells soup before you heat it up. You could turn it upside down like a blizzard. Super chewy coconut shrimp and a lobster roll which only toasted like burnt bread because for some reason grill marks were needed around the entire thing. Gotta do better when there's so much good food around the area. The one star is only for the service read more

Finally got the chance to try this spot after a few years. Very nice interior with a small outdoor seating deck (dog friendly). The menu was very extensive and had much more than your average seafood restaurant which was a really nice surprise. -Fried Calamari 4/5: very good, and all rings which is always a major plus for me personally. Big portion, overall very good a few pieces were a bit too rubbery though. -New England Clam Chowder 4/5: slightly "watered" down tasting and not as flavorful as some other versions I've had elsewhere although still very good. I would get it again. -Lobster Roll 4/5: this was actually my first lobster roll ever, so I'm not sure if it's typical for there to be anything other than lobster on it like cut up celery, coleslaw, mayo, etc. but this was pretty good. Slightly small but again I have nothing to compare it to. I thought the $40 combo deal for this and the soup was a good value. -Coconut Shrimp 4/5, the shrimp were massive and cooked very well. Good flavor, the only thing neither of us were crazy about was the marmalade it came with which had strong hints of horseradish. Not bad, just didn't really pair well with the orange in our opinion. Overall, the food, service, and ambiance were all on point. The mixed drink wasn't great, but we would definitely come back. read more

PJ's was just ok. Our drinks were very good. I expected a fresh piece of handbattered fish for the fish and chips. This seemed like frozen fish pieces. It was so disappointing. The waffle fries were better than most. I was able to confirm it it frozen product. Very disapponting for a seaport restaurant called lobster house. read more

Service: Nice. The wait staff was nice! It was a Friday afternoon for lunch and there weren't too many people in the restaurant, so we got all the attention that we needed. I do have to say there was a mistake when the server brought food to our table that we didnt order. Food: Clam Strips - Well seasoned. There was plenty of this to share between two people! It was light and crispy! Fish & Chips - Good Portion. I liked that you were able to choose the portion size of the fish. I thought it was odd that that it was served with waffle fries instead of a traditional fry. Bay Scallops in Scampi - Buttery. The small bay scallops were nice and buttery. On to my next adventure.... read more

Very nice and clean Decor, Wait staff was friendly and attentive. But they got a lot of problems in the kitchen. Everything we had was subpar. The coleslaw Was like something they scooped out of a 5 gallon bucket The sweet potato fries were burned We sent them back and they came back burned again The clam strips Were mostly breading and no clam The Swordfish Was overcooked The twin lobster tails Were way too salty and stuck to the shell so you had to Try to tear the meat out with your fingers And the Flounder franchise Was a gloppy mess. I was tempted to send everything back But I did not want to embarrass my sister and brother This could be a really nice place If the kitchen got Better At the price points They have, I would not go here Again read more

I remember why we haven't been back in a while... disappointed with the lunch special (soft shell crabs) mushy! Wife had crabcakes(too dry) manhattan clam chowder, sadly it looked and tasted like yesterday's. Won't be back unfortunately. Sad because I do root for the local businesses. On the plus side, service was with a smile and a good attitude! read more

We got the combo sandwich and soup with lobster roll crabcakes and bisque soup. Also had clams with white garlic sauce. Love the bread that they served with our meal and our waitress was amazing. The atmosphere is cozy and upbeat, our booth was elevated and roomy. Definitely recommend. Gastro Maestro approved!! read more

I came here for the sushi, which was good with generous portions. The sushi chef, Kenny, is a nice guy and works fast. If you remember Benten in Mt Sinai you will recognize some of the roll creations on the menu. I see some room for improvement for the servers though. They were very friendly, but my party, as well as another couple sitting at the sushi bar, had to walk over to the end of the sushi bar to grab chopsticks, soy sauce, napkins etc. ourselves because the server only took drink orders, brought them, and then wasn't seen again until I was trying to get the check, which also took quite a while for a place that's not packed. The hot sake I ordered came in a chilled jar, so only the first sip was (luke) warm and the rest was cold. I'd come back for the sushi. read more

Food was ok. More mass produced type of feeling. Pasta was a bit over cooked - linguine and clam and linguine with shrimp and scallops. The scallops were bay size so small. A little odd in the cheese sauce. The mussels in wine and garlic really was bland. Could have used some parsley and maybe some shallots. Oddly, the sauce was very sweet. The shrimp cocktail was - shrimp was a little overcooked. Snow crab appetizer was good. Was expecting it to be salty but it was tasty. The butter sauce on all of them was just clarified butter. Could have used some lemon but you could do yourself. Service was efficient. read more

Enjoyed a delicious seafood lunch here! Had a cup of the lobster bisque to start and it had decent sized pieces of lobster in it, and very flavorful! Ordered the cold lobster roll which came with fries and slaw as well. It was stuffed with so much lobster salad, and the bread was toasted yet so soft... it was extremely enjoyable, so much so that I cannot stop thinking about it! The fries and slaw were good too. It was a lot of food and we left stuffed. Service was great too. We came on a Friday around 1:30 and it was quiet, so everything came out really quick. read more

This relatively new restaurant is a great spot for happy hour and dinner. The decor is contemporary and very inviting. The artist responsible, for the mural did an outstanding job. All of the staff is friendly and professional. It is actually three great businesses in one location. The restaurant offers, fresh lobster, daily specials, and there is also a complete sushi counter. The fish market has a phenomenal display of fresh seafood merchandised in a fun, spectacular way. We look forward to returning to Port Jefferson soon to try out their lunch menu. read more

Food and service were very good. Lots of open tables inside but only outside table available.

As we are from the West Coast and don't have much access to fresh seafood we were looking for some place that did ans PJ'S fit that need. I had the all you can eat crab on Tuesday and left so full!! My husband had the lobster fragoli and couldn't see the pasta at the bottom because it was filled with seafood. Our boys had things off the kids menu which was a hearty portion. We left with full bellies for sure! read more

Always love eating at the Lobster House in Port Jefferson, NY (Long Island); especially when I'm enjoying lunch with my mom and granny. Pretty much everything on the menu is a home run. Todays menu choice include: - Shrimp & Clam Scampi - Lobster Bisque - Seafood Sampler Platter The staff seemed nice (but could be hit or miss on occasion) and the interior is dimly lit but cozy. Check them out. Yum! read more

Great location for seafood. The place is modern and updated. The lobster roll is good. The octopus salad needs some work as it was a bit blah and nothing special. Clams oregenata were tiny but delicious. read more

Went for a late lunch to celebrate my Aunt's 91st birthday. Mojito cocktail was too limey and had only one small piece of mint. There's no lunch menu but you can get soup and sandwich if you want something light. Portions are large for all of their dishes. The spicy calamari appetizer was much better if you used the cream sauce. Other than that everyone was pleased with their food. Waitress was attentive. Definitely will go back again. If you use a GPS and are on Main St you will need to walk through a storefront with several shops inside. It works out better if you park in the lot behind all the buildings but the GPS won't send you there. read more

I enjoyed my experience here. The rum punch was very sweet, but I enjoyed it a lot, the glass was adorable. The baked clams were amazing as well.

The fish and sides were excellent. The service was excellent. The ambiance was nice, and the restaurant was clean.

Food and service was great! Wait staff, bartender, bus staff were very accommodating. Problem is manager James. Turned our whole experience sour. Rude to my wife, rude to customers waiting and extremely rude to his staff. I doubt we're the first to have an issue and the young staff looks terrified of him. Be a better human. read more

Delicious lobster roll on a beautiful summers eve. We got the combo share for 2 that included 2 sides, 2 entrees, 1app and 1 dessert. The choc chip cookie on cast iron w ice cream, caramel drizzle w whip cream and choc fudge was the bomb! Lobster roll was delish but the side of veggies were a bit mushy. The chix francese was overcooked and noodles needed to be more aldente. Service was good tho. Got drinks at the bar.I'd come back for the extensive menu. read more

We've been coming here forever. With the new location (a few years now) it's our go to because it's the same parking lot as rocketship park. My kids are growing to behave better in a restaurant, but consistently at least once a month for the past 2 years we've been going here. The food is always outstanding. But that's not what makes people come back, especially when they have little monsters. Gabby was our waitress tonight. She's been our waitress probably 10 times before. She anticipates what we need, she gets when we get to the end of the meal "kids gotta goooo" time. She's fantastic. My husband even asked her to sing happy birthday to me (Sorry again!) the girl hosting and bartending, I wish I knew her name, she's been there forever. She's the best! I can't recommend this place enough! read more

Came for my husband's birthday and the Monday-Wednesday price fix and had an amazing time! Not only was the food delicious, but we had a wonderful server (thank you Mackenzie!) who helped me navigate ordering while handling my gestational diabetes (7 months pregnant).

I just came by myself to grab a late dinner and I was so pleasantly surprised. I got the stuffed filet and it was delicious! The red potatoes were so good I was tempted to take the last one home. My food came out hot and I didn't wait long. Makenzie was my server and she was lovely! She helped me sellect the most incredible cucumber cooler and continuously checked on me. She was such a pleasure and is only another reason besides the great food that I would come back with friends. Koodos! read more

Possibly the worst fish dinner I have ever had. "Blackened" fish was so spicy it was rendered inedible. Shrimp, fish and scallops were rubbery and overcooked. The ambiance made it worse. Christmas music blasting so you couldn't hear the person sitting across from you and Fox propaganda blasting in your face. Seriously? Does the owner thin thats a good business decision? Bad food, bad atmosphere. A joyless experience. read more
