We ate here last week, I ordered the cheeesesteak and my fiancé orders the lobster roll, both were not great. I could have found a better Cheesesteak at a gas station. Lobster roll was not even local lobster there was claw meat in it, last I checked spiney lobster doesn’t have claws. Would not recommend.

Average lobster roll; the shrimp roll was better. I would not recommend and not return. Staff was nice, a bit over priced.

If it's good enough for Andrew Zimmern, then it's good enough for all. Had fried clams for the 1st time. Was great! Similar to Calimari. The lobster roll was excellent as well. Super friendly staff with quick service. . Great place to catch a bite and keep on walking.

This restaurant was a great find. My family ordered two lobster rolls and the fried seashells with fries. The food only took about 5-10 minutes to come out, and the decorations were fun and colorful. Cashier was friendly and customers were too. The lobster rolls were soft and delicious, while the seashells were warm and filling. The fries were crispy, and we enjoyed the food. Definitely recommend coming here, as the food is delicious.

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.

We heard this place had delicious lobster rolls. They did not disappoint. Every time we come back to Key West this will be a must stop place. Try the conch fritters too!

DJ's Clam Shack = Seafood Heaven
If you're in Key West, do not miss DJ's Clam Shack. The lobster roll is insanely good--packed with fresh, buttery lobster that melts in your mouth. The clam chowder? Creamy, rich, and absolutely to die for. And the fried calamari is crispy perfection, seriously out of this world. This spot is a must-visit for seafood lovers. Casual vibes, unforgettable flavors--just go. You'll thank yourself later.

Best lobster roll I’ve ever had. I equally love the hot and the cold one. They are served cold, so if you want a warm one with butter, you just have to ask.

I am a local here and I try to go here often. It’s totally worth the money. The portions are wonderful and their coleslaw is some of the best I’ve ever had. It has a sweet and tangy flavor.

I will be a forever customer here. Love it here!!!!

The cashier was very rude and rolled his eyes while we were deciding what to order. He didn't listen to me and looked elsewhere. Luckily, I didn't order anything there. Change the cashiers and work on their behavior. Avoid.

ADD THIS TO YOUR KEY WEST ITINERARY. Honestly one of the best spots in Key West for seafood. The lobster roll, clams and chicken tacos are a must-try—super fresh, full of flavor, and served in generous portions. The vibe here is casual and fun, exactly what you’d want in the Keys. It feels local, welcoming, and worth every penny. If you’re in Key West, don’t miss this place.
