Opened 70 years ago by good friends Alonzo Cothron & Berlin Fleton, A & B Lobster House has become a Key West Waterfront icon in what is now A & B Marina. They have expanded over the decades to include a slew of eateries.

Cold food and lobster was worse I ever had. Very disappointing
My aunt always told me to be wary of a slow restaurant, you never know how fresh the food is or how credible the business is.

A&B Lobster House offers a unique blend of steakhouse and seafood shack vibes, with a stunning oceanfront location in Key West. The atmosphere is amazing, featuring a beautiful view of the marine in the Key West bight and a fancy touch. The welcome bread remains a highlight, served with cute A&B-shaped butter. The menu includes exceptional dishes like Caribbean lobster, Clam Chowder soup, crab cakes, and lobster risotto. The staff is accommodating and attentive, with servers like Pavel providing pleasant and professional service. The ambiance is awesome, and the beautiful speakeasy vibe adds to the wonderful dining experience. While many guests enjoy the food, some diners have noted mixed reviews, with occasional small service oversights. Specifically, some felt the lobster was overcooked and tough, while others praised the creamy chowder with clams. The prices are steep, but the oceanfront setting and standout dishes make it one of the best dining experiences.
