DJ's Clam Shack St. Augustine

A really enjoyable spot, especially if you catch it on a good day. We visited on a Sunday and were treated to live music on a shaded patio, which was a perfect escape on a hot afternoon. The atmosphere alone is worth the trip. The food delivered too. The lobster roll at $28 gives you pause, but it earns its price tag and is genuinely worth it. The fried shrimp basket was also a winner, with delicious shrimp as the highlight. Skip the fries and go for the onion rings instead. Not a destination we'd drive across town for, but absolutely one we'd return to if we were in the area. A great option when the weather and the music align.

Fun casual place for your favorite “po boy” or lobster roll. Portions are generous. I’m not a big fan of the po boys or lobster rolls but my oyster po boy was quite good. The clam chowder was very nice, with a lot of potatoes and pepper. Tacos were also tasty. If you want a lobster roll, hang on to your wallet….. market prices are ridiculous. Plan to walk a few blocks from a parking spot.

I was in St Augustine for a couple days andthe first day I decided to get a lobster roll and eat it in the upstairs dining area. The lobster roll was great , good portion for the price, considering the area. The atmosphere was nice and the place was pretty clean, so the next day I went back and I got the lobster salad and again, pretty good portion for the price. They use a key lime vinaigrette dressing that is SOOO good !!! I DEFINITELY HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS PLACE for a good lobster roll or salad! DEFINITELY THE BEST VALUE IN TOWN FOR LOBSTER ROLLS!!! 🦞🦞🦞🤑🤑🤑
