One of my must-haves when traveling on the East Coast is a first-class lobster roll. And not the New England version with mayo. I want as much plain, unadulterated lobster as possible, stuffed into a beautifully grilled roll. Lucky for me, DJ’s offers a Maine-style lobster roll: a grilled roll, warm lobster, and a small cup of melted butter.

Food:
The emphasis at DJ’s is clearly on the food. The menu isn’t large, but they offer all the classics. Most of us ordered the lobster roll, and we also had a shrimp po’ boy, a cup of clam chowder, and a basket of conch fritters.

Everything was delicious. The lobster roll featured generous pieces of tender lobster. The roll was perfectly grilled, crisp on the outside and soft on the inside. There was plenty of melted butter to pour over the top, making it a bit messy, but absolutely worth it. This was a lobster roll to remember.

The clam chowder was also excellent, creamy, well seasoned, and filled with good-sized pieces of clam. The conch fritters were the best we had during our time in Key West. I also sampled the shrimp po’ boy, which was served on the same grilled roll. The shrimp were tender, with just the right amount of breading.

Service:
This is a small stand that has clearly mastered the art of serving excellent food in a compact space. There was a line when we arrived, and it took about 10 minutes to reach the counter. The person taking orders was friendly and helpful. Even while managing a steady flow of customers, they took the time to check in and chat briefly, which was appreciated.

After ordering, we were given a number, and our food was delivered in less than 10 minutes.

Atmosphere:
The space is small but offers counter seating in the front, along with additional tables along the side and in the back. It’s not fancy, but it’s clean, efficient, and easy to navigate. We were pleasantly surprised to find covered seating in the back that accommodated our group of six.

While we were eating, we experienced the only rain of our entire Key West trip. We got a little wet, but it didn’t dampen the experience.

The lobster roll was amazing and one of our favorite meals of the week. Definitely a place I would return to.

Food was pricey but tasted fresh and delicious! We got the regular lobster rolls, fries & sweet potato fries. The sweet potato fries came with a maple aioli which was sooo good. Id like to go back to try more of their options but didnt this time due to price. A cool shack!

The clam chowder and lobster roll were both incredible. Those are two of mine and my husband’s favorite foods and we both thought those were some of the best executions of those dishes that we have had. Both were loaded with seafood and seasoned perfectly. We also got the garlic steamed clams which were very tasty as well. The staff were also super friendly.

We had the hot lobster rolls here, and they were great. The service was fast and the food was good. The prices are competitive.
One downside is there’s no inside seating and it has limited outdoor seating.

Quick bite to enjoy the fried clams. Didn’t have the whole belly clams (Natick) so opted for the strips ($19.36) Cole Slaw was fresh and crisp and fries. Bit pricey for the amount of clams but still tasty. Friendly service.

As first-time visitors to Key West, we discovered this place while walking around and ordered their signature lobster roll. It was really fresh and definitely worth a visit. We also tried the coconut shrimp that day—the shrimp were huge and perfectly crispy, with a rich coconut flavor.

We had to try the lobster roll and it did not disappoint. The conch fritter basket was also very good. Really cool atmosphere.

We ordered the Overload lobster roll, and it’s hands down the best lobster roll in Key West. We’ve tried others on the island—nothing compares.

The lobster is from Maine and never frozen, and you can taste the difference. Sweet, tender, and generously packed into every bite. Simple, classic, and done right.

We also had the pleasure of meeting John, the manager, who was welcoming and clearly passionate about the quality they deliver. Great food, great people, and a place that truly lives up to the hype.

If you’re looking for an authentic lobster roll in Key West, this is a must-stop.

The staff here is super friendly and the service is excellent—definitely makes you feel welcome. The lobster roll was tasty, but I felt like it could’ve used a bit more meat compared to other spots I’ve tried. The clam chowder was solid and comforting. Overall, it’s a good experience, but for me it didn’t quite stand out among the many great seafood options in Key West.

The best lobster rolls in Florida! It’s a must have if you go to Key West. It’s very fresh sweet lobster, and a whole lot of it. Rolls are buttery. The fries are very fresh and perfectly crisp.
