    HOLY GRAIL OF LOBSTER  Stopped by DJs for the first time ever to try their Maine Lobster Roll we kept hearing about from the locals and WOW.

    Lobster is so fresh and they don't skimp on the portions BUT the winner/factor over the rest is the bread!  

    Absolutely amazing vibe so if you're looking for a fresh lobster roll, make your way to DJs for a chill, laidback lunch spot.

    This place is fantastic. We have officially added it to our Key West "must do" list for future visits. The lobster roll is better than any lobster roll we had while in Maine and their shrimp tacos were just a different spin on traditional shrimp tacos. My husband and I were on the fence as whether to order a regular lobster roll or the overstuffed. We went with the regular and the ratio of bread to sweet lobster meat was perfection. No regrets on that choice.
    Things to keep in mind - Do not be intimidated by long lines, it moves very quickly. There are two options for seating: bar stool seating overlooking duval (great for people watching) and picnic table seating behind the order counter.
    DJ's Clam Shack is drool worthy

    O. M. G. The lobster roll is FANTASTIC. Even the regular stuffed one is so luxurious tasting. Lobster is very sweet and moist.

    The cracked conch is delicious and preferred in my family over the conch fritters as it is more like the familiar calamari.

    Fun place to stop for a bite to eat.

    This was my first time trying cracked conch. I immediately tried searching for this place off of our cruise ship. At first I wanted the conch fritters but decided against it because other reviewers were mentioning that they couldn't taste the conch and for folks to get the cracked ones instead. They take the meat and pound it to tenderize it and then they marinate them. I intend to go back in March when I come back.
