bhopal21 Posted January 31, 2017 #3 Share Posted January 31, 2017 I HAVE to have a Lobster Roll. Best place to have one in Key West? I always go hungry and get the double stuffed roll. Never seen so much lobster before.;) It really is just a shack but the food more than makes up for it. http://djsclamshack.com Mike:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cb at sea Posted February 1, 2017 #4 Share Posted February 1, 2017 It won't be Maine lobster...it will be warm water lobster...not bad, but not COLD-WATER lobster! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bhopal21 Posted February 1, 2017 #5 Share Posted February 1, 2017 It won't be Maine lobster...it will be warm water lobster...not bad, but not COLD-WATER lobster! You're wrong there as they only serve Maine lobster. Mike:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Hlitner Posted February 1, 2017 #6 Share Posted February 1, 2017 Of you want a decent Lobster Roll you need to go to New England. If you want Conch Chowder or decent Key Lime Pie...you will do fine in Key West. What they call "lobster" in Florida/Caribbean would not even make the trash bin in New England. That being said, there is a restaurant near 17th Street in Ft Lauderdale...called Kelly's Landing. It is owned by an ole New England guy who flies in his lobster from New England, knows how to make proper chowders...and sells an excellent Lobster Roll. So if you are cruising out of Ft Lauderdale....just spend a pre cruise night at the Embassy Suites and walk a couple of blocks to Kelly's Landing where you can sample a real lobster roll.

Hank Thanks Hank. I have been to Kelly's at least 3 times, and yes, you are correct. It is wonderful! We will not be in Ft. Lauderdale this time. Sailing out of Miami. Thanks for the tip on the Conch Chowder! First time in Key West. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps it would not be my first choice either, but that is where I will be! Almost every review I read, gave it 5 stars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bhopal21 Posted February 1, 2017 #10 Share Posted February 1, 2017 Perhaps it would not be my first choice either, but that is where I will be! Almost every review I read, gave it 5 stars. Exactly and neither of the above posters have been to DJ's so how could they comment on the food quality? The two owners are from New England and know what they are doing. They have a very limited menu but they do what they do very well. I was hesitant myself until I went the first time; but now DJ's is high on my lunchtime list. Please come back and give us your thoughts after visiting. Mike:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually, having vacationed on Key West a few times, we've been to DJ's - I like the conch fritters, mahi mahi tacos, garlic shrimp, etc. I guess my point was if I was going somewhere, I'd opt for more local specialties - sorta like going to China and stopping somewhere for fried chicken because the restaurateurs are from the Southern US and know what they are doing. But....its no biggy - eat what ya like and like what ya eat! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keywester33 Posted February 1, 2017 #13 Share Posted February 1, 2017 In my opinion, the Lobster Rolls at DJs are excellent. I used to spend a lot of time working in New England and I think DJs are up there with any I have had. Let us know what you think! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
