Lazy Lobster Shanty in Lake Placid - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

The food was delicious and the prices were reasonable. The service and attention was great. Love this little place. I know they just closed for a few months but hope they open soon because we plan on visiting them again.

Wonderful service, Beautiful decor and off the chart food

Great seafood, great service, and great people.

Oh my favorite place to eat! They bring lobster down from Maine and there's nothing better than cold water lobster love that place it's my number one

Very good Maine-style seafood and lobster shack atmosphere. Casual but nice. We enjoyed our Maine lobsters, haddock dinner and snow crab clusters. Owner was an interesting and very friendly guy. My husband had a beer while we waited for the food and we enjoyed hearing how he ended up in Lake Placid. Hope they stay here. Nice to have another good food option. Would’ve liked to sit down to eat but couldn’t . Had to Take our food back home to my moms house but we were very pleased. It’s a bit pricey but good quality food.

Good food to pricey , small quantity

Lobster Grilled cheese is a must try! Reservations are definitely recommended, especially on weekends. Service was excellent!

Ok, so im gonna break down the lazy lobster shanty from the time I entered until we left, because honestly theres too many 5 star reviews from, i expect, seniors. So here we go. -The building is small but quaint and. I loved the new england style decore (grew up 30 miles from Boston myself. -Candace, as a server your a rock star. There were only like 2 of yall and how u didn't go crazy running back and forth all evening is a miracle. - I suspect the kitchen is low on cook staff as is was servers. Reeeeally long wait times Not just for us, but for everyone around us as well. It was also obvious that they have a set amount of food per day. I say this because by 6:30pm they were out of scallops, baked potatoes,and flounder. Also people were discouraged because there were items on some menu's that they no longer made. - the lobster dip was pretty good, as well as the lobster bisque....tasty. - the wife ordered the shrimp and lobster. The lobster itself was pretty good. But she wished they would have deveined the shrimp (yuck). - I had 2 clusters of the crab legs. Ok....they were awful. I suspect they were boiled in pre butteted water, as they came out oily. Also, the crabs were over boiled to the point of falling apart and were mushy. Also, no crab shell bucket and one napkin???? The potato salad was great (loaded and the mayo was replaced with sour cream). - lastly, there is only ONE MULTI GENDER BATHROOM. I'm guessing this building was not designed for its current purpose. I couldn't get through the seniors to the bathroom to wash the oily crab remnants off of my hands, and basically drove home that way. Welp, that's my review in an overcooked crab shell.

If your looking for great food, this is the place to go! Owners are from Maine and know their seafood! All homemade and delicious. Lobster Bisque soup is incredible. Owners are cooking and available to have a great conversation. This isn't your typical corporate fast food seafood. This is the best! Prices are very reasonable. Try it you'll love it!

Delicious food. We will be back.

Love the atmosphere and the great crew. Disappointed you were out of the crab special with scallops. We will try again another time. All in all it was good.

It was really nice quiet not crowded. I think we had a new waitress. She kept forgetting little things here and there but she was very polite. And nice no problem. It was actually kind of funny. We definitely had fun with her.

Arrived at 5pm. Special was already sold out. Another main menu item not available. Scallops were under cooked. Staff very friendly. Disappointed

That was our second time, and it was fabulous!!! The food was fantastic again, and the service was friendly, personal, and just right. We will make this a regular. The owner came out and talked to us---very nice.

Excellent meals, lobster rolls and other atmosphere!

A small place not cheap but with great service and outstanding food. Will definitely be back

Great place excellant lobster much better than Red lobster

The lobster roll warm with drawn butter is the best. You must try the potato salad also.

Really enjoyed my meal. The lobster roll was fantstic and the lobster bisque soup some if the best I've had.

The place was packed. They were overwhelmed and running out of food but what we got was very good.

My dinner was fine. My wife's wasn't. The fish was very dry.

If you are in the Lake Placid area, you must stop in at Lazy Lobster Shanty. The waitresses are welcoming, the owner is on hand and friendly, and the ambiance has the charm of Maine. The food is exceptional and is prepared to order. THERE IS NO FOOD MICROWAVE IN THIS RESTAURANT! The lobster roll is to die for, the cranberry apple slaw is devine, the peeled shrimp is delicious, the cod and scallops, and lobster tails are oh! so good!

Service was good and food was very tasty. Unique decor !

Friendly atmospher, good food, fast service with a smile!

We just left there. Oh my goodness. Fantastic food!! Nothing fried. We had flander stuff with lobster. Yummy. Clam chowder is to die for!! Yummy! Angel was our waitress. Fantastic waitress. We will go back!!

Good and friendly service, no fried food which is good for me. Nice to see a good restaurant in town.

Friendly good food reasonably price

I had a chicken sandwich they was quite good and the other people in our party all seemed happy with the various things they had.

Wonderful seafood...I am New England born and bred. The warm lobster roll wth drawn butter was just like momna used to make. The apple cranberry slaw was delicious and crunchy. Will go back soon

Best place for Maine Loster in Central Florida. Located just east of 27 in the quaint town of Lake Placid, this is the best place in town for a grilled cheese crabmeat sandwich, or a crabmeat mac and cheese....yum yum. The crab cakes have more meat than anything. Once you taste these you won't be satisfied with any others. The lobster sandwich comes with mayo or warm butter....best sandwich in town. Apple coleslaw? Delicious. Authentic country shack with plenty of parking and great owners. Desserts brought in fresh from Amish farms; good enough to rival grandma's. You won't be disappointed. The prices are great!

Wow! A welcome addition to the small town restaurant feel! The variety is authentic Maine Lobster! Yummy! I've included some photos of the food and the restaurant inside... I would recommend this to our Snowbirds as well as locals of Highlands County, it's well worth the drive to Lake Placid!

1st time to eat there. Food is very good.will be going back.
