    Fish in Fish in a Bag
    Chasity A.

    While staying in Miami after a weekend cruise, we decided to stop by Lobster Shack. We started with the raw oysters and the Rockefeller oysters, which my sisters really enjoyed. My top recommendation is the Fish in the Bag the dish was very flavorful and filling. This entree comes with a side: I choose the clam chowder. The lobster taco was also a great choice.

    Great seafood for the price. Located on linclon road, easy place to just stop by for a meal. Many lobster roll options as well as crab. I really enjoyed the fried shrimp and snow crab. Service was kind and attentive.

    Baked Oysters
    Adrianna S.

    We wanted some tasty seafood so we popped in here for lunch. Immediately, service was fantastic. So friendly. Menu was explained, suggestions given. They were fast, friendly and attentive. [[HIGHLIGHT]]We sat outside and enjoyed the patio and beautiful weather.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Food was really good. They said the lobster bisque was award winning so we tried it. I would not hand it any special awards but it was good. We enjoyed the lobster rolls, baked oysters and fries. Good fries are important! And they did good

    The food looked and smelled amazing I started with oyster I wouldn't recommend. But then my meal came and baby when I say bang for a buck!! The steak was cooked to perfection temped perfectly, crab legs are ment to be seasoned if you ask me and they did a great job at flavor control! Hand breaded shrimp I could have eaten 100 of them. This was the first restaurant on vacation that I had a server who was a local, it was nice chatting with them it was one of their birthdays and they offered us cake, but you can see my plate I had no space. On my recommended list for sure [[HIGHLIGHT]]Indoor and outdoor seating but we know Lah, she sat outside.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    Spicy Lobster Roll and Lobster Bisque

    Honestly I was skeptical going there but they definitely are great! Lobster roll was fantastic and yummy. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Servers are very friendly and paying attention, creating light and vibrant atmosphere.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Highly recommend

    lobster and shrimp

    Really good lobster and shrimp. Reasonably priced, fast service. Will definitely go back. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Atmosphere is okay.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]It's not the most scenic place, but they do have some shaded outdoor tables, which were nice since it wasn't too hot out.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    16oz Ribeye, snow crab and garlic shrimp
    Rob H.

    Food, service, [[HIGHLIGHT]]incredible April weather in Miami + annual family spring break trip = solid place to have a great meal![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] My son salivates at the thought of getting his favorite meal, the Lobster/Snow Crab/ Garlic Shrimp combo! He absolutely destroyed the meal, literally everything . Mom and I settled in for our 16oz Ribeye, snow crab and garlic shrimp dinner. I must say, the bang for the buck, along with the quality of food and service keeps us coming here!

    South Beach Lobster Roll
    Melody A.

    Shoutout to Jasmine for her lovely service and to The Lobster Shack for two enjoyable meals during the same long weekend. It's always a delight to find a restaurant that provides reliable quality service on both weekends and weekdays as well as delicious well made foods that makes this restaurant consistently remain one of the most delicious spots in Miami Beach! If you're craving a darn good lobster roll, get the South Beach Lobster roll for $29.99 and add on fries - you won't regret either! They're also very customer-centric and if you need to sub out the bread roll for a soft corn taco to minimize the gluten, they kindly and willingly do so with excellent customer service. My first time here I ordered two rolls back to back and scarfed it all down. I would have ordered a third but literally could not fit it down, that's how good this place is!! I've had lobster rolls all across the states and The Lobster Shack makes the list for one of my favorites. Also tried the South Beach Shrimp Roll (good but pales next to the Lobster roll) and the Crab and Artichoke Dip (which is excellent and you will 100% love it because I don't even like crab typically but I bought it anyways and LOVED IT). All the servers here are very kind, and attentive. Thanks for welcoming me and consistently providing such an awesome restaurant experience with the best Lobster Rolls in Miami Beach! Highly recommend anyone in town go here if they're looking for a casual spot with stellar food and service.

    Life changing. This place ruined any chance of having any better seafood on my trip. The food was amazing, drinks were good, [[HIGHLIGHT]]ambiance was fun[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]], and service was amazing. Truly means a lot as a small business owner to leave a 5 star review but this place deserves it. Best dinner I had while in town. Honestly best meal. Do not sleep on this place.

    Stopped in Miami for the day and not sure where to go. Collectively we decided on Lobster Shack. The seating for six indoors was not available. We decided to be seated together outside. Never expected what occurred after. We had our server Chico introduce himself. Help us with our options. He went into great lengths to help us understand what the dishes we were interested in contained and decide based on on our wants what items on the menu would fill that craving. We started with the crab dip which he said was EXTREMELY popular. Since there was 6 of us he suggested we order extra bread. We were not disappointed except when we finished it. We wanted MORE! We did order a second order. Next everyone ordered Cajun roll with lobster bisque, shrimp and catfish, shrimp and lobster and lobster roll with fries. Everything tasted so delicious and fresh. The fried food has the right crisp and taste. I am only disappointed that when I leave I won't get to have it back home. Please venture out to the Inland Empire in California! Not only was the food delicious, but our server Chico went above and beyond. We took so long deciding what to get he didn't rush us but rather sat next to us and helped us decide. It felt like we were with family he was so personable and genuine and we related to him instantly. We also ordered some drinks like the piña colada, which he asked if we would prefer a Miami vice. Everyone jumped on the drink when we found out it was a piña collada swirled with a strawberry daiquiri and fell in love. We also ordered a few mojitos and some rum punch. Not gonna lie this is the only restaurant we got to try in Miami and honestly it was so amazing and memorable that I am excited that we selected the perfect restaurant. I think I was extremely surprised that they weren't busier. The food, Cajun sauce and service is next level. Please come by and see Chico and see for yourself. They really have something special here and It would be a disservice to not make you aware of what you are missing. Phone number was listed incorrectly. Here is the correct number (305) 397-8032

    $30 for a tiny lobster roll with barely any meat and it was all chewy. Spend your money somewhere else!

While we've been here several times, we make a point of coming back strictly for the crab. A true Miami classic that still delivers. The place is quite large and offers throw back decor.

But, when I saw they were advertising a Lamb Gyro for $12 (Tuesdays), I took the leap. Seems it wasn't that far to jump. Although there were table cloths, cloth napkins and silverware, with room for a true dining experience, the fan sitting atop the bar, (blowing-off more air than necessary), and the plastic plants on the walls/ceilings threw-off any pretense I had of the place. When I requested the Lamb Gyro, the server pointed to an entree on the menu for me to approve. I made sure there wasn't another (re: pricier) offer. There was... it was the one he suggested. The gyro itself consisted of a bland (Tzatziki?) sauce that struggled to find my taste buds. Lamb (typically) has a gamey/slightly sweet flavor; these cuts seemed to be found from behind their refrigerator, (not from inside). They certainly weren't cut fresh from a spit, as they were old and nearly tasteless. The included slices of onion and peppers, delegated to the pita bottom, (instead of intermingling) barely helped. The French fries (included in the price) were the most flavorful part of the meal; although, they were an insult, rather than accompaniment to the experience. And, was that Latin (instead of traditional Greek) music coming from the speakers? Along with a 20% "Administrative" fee, I won't be tempted to venture in again.
