The Lobster Shack

The Lobster Shack on South Street puts Florida lobster center stage — specifically the spiny lobster, which is the local variety found throughout the Keys and quite different from its New England cousin. It's a casual, seafood-focused spot that speaks directly to the marine bounty surrounding Key West. If you're visiting during lobster season or simply want to taste one of the Keys' most celebrated ingredients in a relaxed setting, The Lobster Shack is the obvious destination. Simple, fresh, and unapologetically shellfish-focused.
