Amazing food and wonderful staff! We tried the clam chowder and lobster bisque, and both were delicious. The lobster bisque was made with sherry wine, which gave it such a unique, rich flavor. The fish and chips were absolutely to die for. It is on the pricier side, but honestly worth it. Their dill tartar sauce was a standout too, and I'm usually not even a tartar sauce person. The remoulade sauce was also really good. We also had the mac and cheese, which had great flavor and a rich, creamy base. I liked the seasoning and the seafood-style comfort food feel of it, but it was a little too oily for me. After a few bites, the oiliness started to overpower the cheese and made it feel heavier than expected. That was really my only critique, because the taste itself was good and it definitely had potential. For dessert, we had the strawberry mousse, and it was perfect. Light, sweet, and such a good way to end the meal. Overall, this is a great seafood spot with memorable flavors, friendly staff, and dishes I'd absolutely come back for! read more

This might genuinely be the best seafood I've ever had outside of New England--and honestly, it might even beat out some of my favorite spots *in* New England. The staff and our waiter were incredibly attentive, informative, and accommodating throughout the entire meal. My parents were in town visiting from out of state, and the hospitality went above and beyond. The night was a little blurry after a couple of great drinks, but I am almost certain the owner actually came over in his chef's coat to introduce himself and welcome us when he heard it was my first time there. Incredible food, top-tier service, and a genuinely welcoming vibe. This place is absolute tops! read more

Drove a considerable distance to go here on a fairly busy day. The customers are mostly locals and parking lot is cramped. Food portions are on the smaller side while prices are steep. Taste is not extraordinary but presentation is good. Seating is comfortable and spacious. Services is very hospitable and accommodating. Unfortunately you could leave here hungry. read more

All I can write is Wowwww!! If you love seafood- this is the best place to go! I enjoyed everything from the greeting of the hostesses, the service, drinks, food and the decor! The decor is a throwback and feels like a fish shanty in the best way, The fish dip, lobster mac and hush puppies were so fresh and flavorful... i am drooling just thinking about it. The bananas foster martini is a dessert in a glass and taste great with the saltiness of the seafood. Service was friendly and prompt. I don't live in that area but would absolutely make the drive there for seafood and suggest it anyone. read more

The Nauti Lobstah is a super yummy place to eat. My family and I went for Bite 30 during lunchtime. It was amazing and so delicious. Started with the clam chowder and clam cakes. Both were fantastic and loaded with fresh clams. I had the shrimp and flounder fried with three Hushpuppies and two sides, coleslaw and cheese grits. Everything was amazing and came with huge portions. For dessert I had the key lime pie with strawberry drizzle and chocolate straws. The service was fantastic. The ambiance was very pleasant and welcoming. They even turned the train on so we could watch it travel the perimeter of the front dining room area. I recommend eating here for Bite30 or whenever you have a desire for fresh seafood, this is your place to enjoy it. read more

Ive lived in this area for a while and I've driven by this place many of times. I decided with friends to try this place out for Bite 30! Seafood dip , chef's kiss. I think this is a meal not an appetizer. Their hush puppies, I could order and eat by themselves. The type of Fish I didn't particularly like but the shrimp were breaded well and tasted great. Cocktail sauce tasted home made. Service was a good, at times it was a little slow but the manager came and she asked us if we needed anything. She stood right in to help her staff. A great environment for a first date because it's very quaint. The bar is small so don't think you gonna sit down if you show up at a busy time. Overall, great experience. I do want to try their lobster items. Will be back read more

Wife decided to take me for early Father's Day dinner. Got here early for once (at 5) with nobody here. We got Megan again as our server and she is AWESOME!! Started with a cup of clam chowder, which was perfect. Then the main course we shared, a 4 lb lobster that they Crack, putting the claw meat on top. The rest was dispelled, then mixed with shrimp and scallops and drizzled with hollandaise sauce. So hard to cook a lobster that size and is was perfect!!. Then an awesome chocolate lava cake for dessert. 15 min after we got here the restaurant filled up and a wait started and for good reason. Simply lovethhis place. WORTH EVERY PENNY! read more

We've seen reviews and videos about this restaurant and made a point to make our way there during our Florida vacation. Amazing dining experience!!! You can't make reservations and we were lucky that there was no wait time when we got there. Our server Noelle greeted us as soon as we were seated. She was an additional highlight to our visit for her warmth and friendly personality. We started with the clam cakes and stuffies and both were delicious. The super highlight of our visit was the 2 foot lobster roll. My partner added 1/2 lb of lobster to our order as he (and we) love lobster. What we got was a Wow experience from the time they brought it in - my mother was pure smiles and that was before we tasted it. We went with half New England and half Connecticut style. Absolutely the best lobster roll I've ever had and I've had many living in New England most of my life. This was an absolutely delightful experience. We couldn't finish the roll between the 3 of us and had great leftovers for dinner. The place is busy and you hear the sounds of people talking and enjoying their meals. We even got to meet Chef Mike and what a pleasant person he is. A total unforgettable dining experience that I'd like to repeat someday. read more

Kept hearing some much about this place on social media. So we d cider to try it out. It's the old catfish place and they honor them still with some items in the menu. The wait was not too long at all. Inside it's like being in a fishing shack. I got the New England lobster roll and a side of hush puppies. The lobster was large pieces and so good. She got the shrimp "a la bob" from the old menu, with sweet potato casserole and green bean casserole. All around a very good experience read more

Went to dinner with friends and it was our first time. I've only early heard amazing things about this restaurant so we were excited to try it. I ordered the shrimp linguini and is was phenomenal.

The Nauti Lobstah - Shrimp linguine - Seafood Near Me - Apopka, Florida

After being there 3 times, I found their portions are inconsistent. Poor man's lobster is 1.5 lbs, but sometimes its mostly the shell.

This place had been winning awards for years now, and I wanted to go so bad, but I just never am out in this part of town. Well I found a couple of other activities to pair with a nice lunch in Apopka. So we stopped in and finally got to see what all the fuss was all about. Ambiance was themed very well. New England nautical. Old school, like you were sitting in a restaurants from the 80's. Very fun, warm, and inviting. And also all of the blank spaces off the sidewalk were full of oyster shells, which was a very nice touch. Service was top notch. Our server was top notch professional, made sure our glasses were always full, and new the menu very well to help us decide exactly what to get. The food itself was really nice. Everything we had was delicious. Let's get into it. We ate way too much food this day. We started off with a couple of apps. New England Clam Chowdah (Chef Mike's secret clam chowder recipe [Add (3) Famous Rhode Island Clam Cakes]). This was a very nice chowder, not too creamy, very well seasoned, and you have to add on the clam cakes as a dipper. This chowder yearns to be dipped into. Very pervasive clam flavor throughout the cake. A nice little fritter. Crab Stuffed Mushrooms (Crab stuffed mushrooms, served with Hollandaise sauce drizzle and lemon wedge). Unctuous. Very nice sized shrooms stuffed to the brim with the crab mixture and broiled to a perfect crisp. Wowwy wow. So good. Onto the main event, the Connecticut Lobstah Roll (Warm fresh Maine lobster piled on Crisp Bibb Lettuce on toasted New England brioche Roll, served with warm butter). Perfectly tender lobster, and really more of it than I thought I would get. A roll that was strong, soft, and ultra buttery, all with even more butter for dipping. The epitome of indulgence, served with some of the finest, crispiest homemade potato chips you'll find in all of Orlando. So good. Fisherman's Platter (Fried Boneless Catfish, Clam Strips, Shrimp, New Bedford Sea Scallops). I know frying seafood isn't how you can most skillfully cook it, but there is absolutely a wrong, lazy way to do it. Nauti did it correctly. Catfish, delicate breading, super moist and juicy within, well seasoned. Nice. Clam strips, made extra fun with extra crackling breading a la old Captain D's cracklings. Shrimp of a decent size, not oily, popped right out of the tails. And the scallops were cooked just as well as if they were seared by Gordon Ramsay. So delicate and delicious. A few notes on the sides. The Hush Puppies were absolutely terrible. They were simply overcooked. A few of the chips suffered the same fate. But the Sweet Potato Casserole was one of the best I've ever had. They used puffed rice cereal for texture and wow, it was very fun and yummy. Overall, the hype was real, and this place was worth the wait. It's so rare to find good seafood in the Orlando area, but this is one of the few places I was happy to find. I'd love to come back one day. read more

Pros: Ambiance is really nice. It feels like you're in a boat in a glass bottle or something. Very homey feeling. Service was great. Our lady was really nice, and our food came out at a proper pace. The food itself was awesome. Something different that normal seafood restaurants. Everything was cooked very well, and the portion sizes were very healthy. Cons: No cons. The location is a con. It's about as far away as you can get from where I live in Oviedo. Lol. Tips: You better add the clam cakes to the clam chowder. If you like mushrooms, the stuffed mushroom app is amazing. The homemade chips are an amazing side. And the fried clam strips were the best I've ever had. read more

Wow what gem this place is in Apopka! Came on a Saturday night and it was packed. We weighted about 45 minutes, but it was so worth it. We ordered a pitcher of Sangria (which was a bit more soda than my preference) and hung out on the porch until our table was ready. Definitely nautical themed inside which was cute. The staff were incredibly friendly and attentive. We never waited long for anything. The food was absolutely delicious! I couldn't go here and not get lobster, and to be honest I'm going to be thinking about it for a while. I got the Lobstah Thermidor and would definitely get it again! read more

First time here after this being on my list for a couple of years! I've heard plenty of good things, and finally found a special occasion to give them a try. From the outside, it's unassuming. It looks like a seafood shack you would find on the beach. The inside though! Plenty of nautical decor and an upscale feel with Tiffany inspired lamps. My father told me stores of an amazing seafood dish from his youth that I had to try; Lobster Newburg. This is the only place in central Florida I could find that served it. So we got a plate of the ultimate seafood Newberg, mom got the Crab stuffed Flounder (one of her favorites) and I got the Jumbo Crab cakes. We got a variety of sides to go with it. Everything was amazing! We all got our favorite seafood dishes and they were the most amazing renditions of those items! The service was exceptional! I'm sure we annoyed the waitress with the two thousand questions we had, but she was extremely sweet and did everything to answer them and accommodate our read more

The Nauti Lobstah - Two foot Lobster roll. - Seafood Near Me - Apopka, Florida

Tastes of New England at home in Florida?! Yes please! The Nauti Lobstah is reminiscent of home style restaurants I grew up frequenting in New England and of course down the northeast coast. The decor feels homey, casual, and comfortable. The only thing missing is the water front. Wink wink! Turns out that they don't take reservations so come on the early side if you want to dine on a weekend. Luckily we only waited about 30 minutes on a Saturday. Once seated, we were warmly greeted by our server and got settled with drinks and clam chowdah! The chowder was rich and creamy and came served with some type of corn fritters. Very delicious but stick with a cup so you have room for your lobstah. We had a variety around the table and honestly each dish was better than the next. One can't go wrong with a generously stuffed lobster roll but we also tried a lobster mac and a lobster risotto. All stellar! Great portions and loaded with big flavors. Despite bearing full, I saved room for the newly added bread pudding. It was served warm with fresh whipped cream and I urge you to go for this one. The rest of the table agreed of the desserts we tried, the bread pudding rocked! I've already planned a return outing with visiting family members to the Nauti Lobstah. They are so excited based on my glowing feedback of generous portions and delicious fresh catch! read more

Food and service was excellent! Got the 4 lb lazy mans lobster and it was delicious! Worth the drive!

Lobstah must be the proper spelling for overcooked low-quality lobster. I was super excited to go here only to be disappointed AF. The lobster meat was dry, overcooked, and way overpriced. Pinch and zoom on the photo and look! Makes me think of Pinchy from The Simpsons. The Double Connecticut Style Lobster Roll had 8 ounces (their description) of lobster on it. This thing was pretty loaded but at $56, was a total rip off. It's the most I've ever spent on a lobster roll and the 2nd worst one I've ever had. It needed every bit of drawn butter to make it edible. Just to put price in perspective, a 4oz lobster roll on the Las Vegas strip is $9 cheaper than a 4oz lobster roll in Apopka... and you get a better view. The lobster BLT was good, but didn't really have enough lobster on it. The flavor was there through. Not worth the $35. (There's a theme here) The Stuffies were good. It was a hollowed out stuffed clam with sausage and other stuff and two of them were $13. They were a good size, but sheesh, not worth it at all. The homemade chips were good as were the French fries, but the Lobstah was very disappointing in quality. For the price, it should be flawless! If I went back, it would be for other seafood dishes and I'd steer clear of the lobster. If I want lobster, I'll find the Cousin's truck. read more

The Naughty Lobstah What a great experience we had at The Naughty Lobstah. We went to dinner with our daughter and son-in-law and brought our pups along, so we sat outside, which was perfect. The service was outstanding and the food was fantastic from start to finish. We started with the seafood dip, which was delicious. Two of us had the lobster bisque and my son-in-law ordered the New England clam chowder. Both were excellent, with plenty of clams and generous pieces of lobster. For our main entrées, my husband had the Seafood Newburg, my daughter ordered the Shrimp Platter, and my son-in-law and I chose the Connecticut-style lobster rolls. Warm, buttery, and absolutely delicious. They even bring extra butter on the side so you can enjoy it just the way you like. We both ordered the double meat, and while it's not cheap, it is absolutely worth it. We can't wait to go back again. Highly recommend! read more

The first time a group of us wanted to try out this restsurant, we had to go elsewhere, because it is closed on Mondays, and we get together once a month after the Bowlero Senior Bowling League. The next opportunity was for a Saturday lunch with Orlando Area Panhellenic Alumnae. We were seated together at tables in a step-down area. I wondered how anyone in a wheelchair or using a cane could maneuver the steps. We waited a long time for water, other beverages, and longer for ordering our meals. However, once ordered, they did not take long to arrive, which was a pleasant surprise. Meals looked appealing and tasted good. Many of us tried one of their speciality lobster rolls in spite of the price. I heard no complaints from anyone except for how long it took before orders were completed or bills were handled. read more

If you have never been to this place, you are missing out. The food is out of this world. I've been here at least four times and I've never had a bad meal and I've tried many things on the menu. The best way to describe the service here is they make you feel like you are a VIP regardless if you are just buying drinks or buying full-blown meals. The only criticism I would have is the price of the food is more on the expensive side, which means that you cannot visit the place as often as you would like to because you would want to go there every day. read more

Thank you, Yelp, for helping us discover this hidden gem! We traveled to Boston earlier this year and have been craving lobstah ever since--so when we found this place, we jumped at the chance. And wow... it did not disappoint. The restaurant was spotless, and our server Jerry was warm, attentive, and helpful. We went all out and ordered a feast--and every single bite was phenomenal. We started with steamed snow crab legs and oysters casino. The crab was perfectly cooked--sweet, juicy, and easy to crack. The oysters had a crisp, golden crust, cooked to perfection, without any fishiness. Absolute perfection. For mains: My daughter, not a seafood fan, had the prime rib French dip and loved it--tender, juicy, and packed with flavor. My son went for the double Connecticut lobstah roll, overflowing with warm buttery lobster. I got the "lazy man lobstah," which was a dream--sweet, tender meat already out of the shell so I could just dive in. Every bite was a buttery, garlicky flavor bomb. My husband had the cowboy steak, and again, they knocked it out of the park--juicy, char-grilled, and generously portioned. If you're anywhere near Apopka, do not miss this place. It's a small, locally owned spot that delivers big on flavor and quality. Come hungry, be ready to splurge a little, and prepare to leave full and happy. We'll absolutely be back next time we're in town! read more

We were visiting from Maryland and learned about this restaurant through a YouTube influencer, Joel Hansen. I chose this restaurant for my daughter's birthday dinner because she loves crab legs and lobster. The food itself was very good and met our expectations in terms of quality and flavor. Unfortunately, the overall experience was disappointing due to the lack of acknowledgment of my daughter's birthday. I informed the staff in advance and specifically asked if they could do something small to surprise her, which they agreed to do. However, nothing was done during our visit. Given that this was the primary reason for choosing this restaurant, the oversight was quite disappointing and affected our experience. For this reason, despite the good food, we are giving the restaurant 2 stars. We will not be coming back. read more

First of all I'm a Rhode Islander that lives in Florida. So happy to find this place so close to us. I took the risk and got the Gloucester clams, they weren't as good as up north fresh out the ocean. A few had lots of sand in them, and the butter was lacking salt. The clam cakes were def a taste of home for me and I would def go and get those again. The clam chowder was meaty but in my opinion was lacking some flavor. My husband got the crab cakes and French fries and they were so good! The cakes had lots of crab meat in them and were filling. The bartender did a great job with the old fashioned too! Our waitress was very attentive and super friendly she had a large table besides us but managed to tackle both effortlessly. We would def go back to try other menu options! read more

Consistently good seafood. We've dined in a few times (whenever I crave fish and chips). Tonight was the first time I indulged in a lobster roll from Naughti Lobstah (I never ordered one before because I was skeptical on what the portion size would be for the price). Our order was placed quickly on the phone and a nice text message let me know our food was ready. Hubby brought home a nice sized container of the warm Connecticut style lobster roll and it was impressive! The cut lobster was still nice and warm sitting up nicely in a container of warm butter and chives. I spread the lobster on the roll and it was incredible, tasting just as good if we had dined in. Portion was generous as the roll was filled up nicely. I also enjoyed the house made chips. The flavor is nice and the crunch is satisfying. This place is a gem. Excellent seafood, probably the best meal I have had all week. I am just sorry I had not tried the lobster roll sooner! read more

It was my birthday so I really wanted to have a wonderful experience. The Nauti Lobster was everything I was hoping for! We had the fried green tomatoes and oysters for appetizers.

The chef came by and we told him how exceptional every bit of our dinner was. Beautiful old Florida restaurant that was so welcoming. Do NOT miss it! read more

I came to The Nauti Lobstah after seeing a post that really hyped it up, but as someone from Connecticut, I left feeling pretty disappointed. I normally don't leave reviews like this, but considering the prices, I expected a lot more. I ordered the double Connecticut lobster roll, which cost $56, and it was served cold--not what I was hoping for at all. The flavor also didn't strike me as particularly fresh. I also ordered the whole belly clams 5 oz, which were $39, and was surprised to find only four actual whole bellies--the rest were just clam strips. The sides didn't help much either. The creamed spinach was cold and bland, and the French fries were mostly tiny, overcooked bits. The clams casino were extremely salty--even for someone who likes salt--and the seafood Newburg also had an overly salty, slightly off taste and that dish cost $67. The one bright spot of the experience was the staff. Everyone was friendly and polite, and I truly appreciated their attitude and service. Unfortunately, the food just didn't live up to the hype or the price of $270Bucks. read more
