The Lobster Shack

The Lobster Shack has two locations, on Lincoln Road and South Pointe. Both locations have outdoor patio dining, perfect for people watching. At the South Pointe location, servers even come out to the beach and take your order and deliver it right to your chair, blanket, or towel! As the name implies, The Lobster Shack is known for serving all things seafood, but if you go don’t miss the classic lobster roll.
