    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!

    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.

    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.

    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

    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

I can honestly say it was one of the most delicious pasta dishes I've had in my entire life. I believe it was angel hair pasta with fresh basil, tomatoes, mozzarella, and olive oil--simple ingredients, perfectly executed. I'm a meat-and-potatoes guy, and I absolutely devoured it. Thank you so much for the warmth, generosity, and incredible food. I will be recommending you to all of my clients going forward without hesitation.

Had the lobster tail, shrimp scampi, mashed potatoes, spinach and a glass of white wine. All was AMAZING! Lovely outdoor setting and seating as well. The only thing that prevents this from be a five star was that the lit candles were attracting little gnats and some mosquitos but other than that, it was a great birthday dinner. I wish I had rememebered the gentleman who was serving my table but he was awesome and I thank him and the staff for accomodating. Definitely a recommend for dinner by the beach, especially if you are looking for a seafood spot.
