Pretty busy but little wait time. We got the traditional roll. It was good but could have used maybe a little something extra seasoning wise. Service was great, very pleasant and fast. They keep the tables clear and wiped for customers coming in.
Love the Key West Lobster roll! $29 is not cheap, but love the butter and lime vs. mayo. Beer, white claw, soda. Not a lot of inside seating. Fast, friendly service.
I got a grilled cheese lobster roll and if I wasn’t in public I would’ve licked my fingers, it was absolutely delicious! The place is very small but has all the key West charm and service was quick.
I got the key west lobster roll. It had huge chunks of lobster and tasted fresh. It was big enough to be filling but too big so I wasn't able to finish it. It's $30 and comparing that to another $30 dish I don't know if I'd say it's worth that price. However, it's worth trying once.
It's a small place, so there's not a lot of sitting room. However, you can take your sandwich to go and eat near or on the beach.
Note: they don't take apple/google pay

Probably the best lobster rolls I've had outside of Maine. The store is small but the food comes out super quick. We ordered the original and key west one and oh boy they were delicious. The little touch of mayo on the original was just right and the key west one was very refreshing.
Get here early. We tried once, but they were sold out and closed. The Lobster rolls are large and filled with Lobster. We enjoyed the Key West Roll and the Diablo Roll. The Diablo is not very spicy, so very enjoyable.
Small seating area means that you get to enjoy talking to your table mates. The service was fast and they kept the tables clean. This is an excellent Lobster roll and worth coming back for!

The best Lobster Roll 🦞 in Key West! We highly recommend you make a stop here. My husband says he has had lobsters rolls all along the East coast of America, Canada and even Europe and the Lobster Shack Key West is his favorite. He has the Diablo and I have the Traditional. We frequent this spot for lunch every visit we have made to Key West. Friendly service, awesome spot!
Seeing someone recommend it, even though I had already had lunch, I couldn't resist buying a lobster roll. It truly lived up to its reputation. The gentlemen at the counter was very friendly. The young man brought out the food even thoughtfully provided extra utensils.
