Description: Located in the heart of Holmes Beach, Lobstahs brings New England Style seafood to beautiful Anna Maria Island. We take great pride in providing the freshest seafood. Our lobsters are flown in daily and we work with farmers and fishmongers to bring the best quality ingredients to our guests. Land lovers will find USDA steaks, chicken and pasta selections on our extensive menu. The largest cold water lobster tank on Anna Maria Island and the recipes created by Chef's, have defined Lobstahs as a "destination restaurant" for diners from all over the world. Lobstahs is a "destination restaurant". Our extensive menus feature over 60 fresh and tantalizing items for all taste buds plus our kid's Lil Lobstahs Menu. Don't forget our daily specials too! Our dining room provides fun family atmosphere while our air conditioned indoor Tiki Hut and outdoor deck makes for a more open island dining experience. We can accommodate large tables and parties, catering, banquets and special events are our specialty. Planning to spend a day at the beach? Let us prepare an authentic Maine Lobster Bake for your family and friends. Whether you dine in or take away, the fare will always be excellent. Our catering department can handle your big events and catering needs with special attention.

We had not been to AMI since 2011 and so were curious about this 'new' place. We came on a weekday in the afternoon, and had the restaurant to ourselves for a bit. Not a problem at all, the atmosphere was pleasant and the server very nice and helpful. The lobsters were unbelievably tasty, fresh and juicy, and the sides... More

We came to this restaurant for several reasons: It was my fiancé’s birthday; lobster is her favorite food; they had some favorable reviews on this forum and, they told us there was a band playing on the Friday for which we made reservations. When we arrived for our reservation, we were told the band had cancelled. Ok, that's really not... More

(Re: the review “Lobstah should be called "Rob-stahs" - not worth your money”) My guest and I found the Lobster Nachos to be quite delicious; the chips were perfectly toasted and we found loads of fresh lobster meat complimented by a delicate tangy citrus cheese sauce on a beautifully presented platter....as far as the ahi-tuna my guest and I thought...

Really? Gross FAKE cheese (can you say cheese whiz) on FAKE Lobster (can you say pollock) Nachos for 14 bucks? Are you kidding me? The misrepresentation starts at the sign on the building. I paid 14 bucks for chips and cheese whiz with banana peppers. We told the waitress we would decide whether to order from menu after the appetizer.... More

I barely ever write reviews, but after going to Lobstah's yesterday after reading all of the positive reviews, I felt I MUST write a review so that others know what they are in for.... If you like high quality food and expect the freshest seafood on the island - DO NOT GO HERE. What a disappointment!! There were three of... More

We had a great meal. period. The service was impeccable. The oysters and lobsters were 1st rate. We even met the owner and we sampled a new appetizer not yet on the menu. It's the little things- letting me charge my cell phone behind the bar. Bring my beer out to me when I stepped outside to smoke. I will... More

There are lots of seafood on Anna Maria Island, but not so much Lobster-this is it. Whole or tails. Also some great seafood dishes as specials. We ate inside and could easily hear the music in the TIKI bar. Hence, if you want to socialize while eating, I recommend eating inside. Prices good, Service excellent.

We were invited to dinner by our new neighbors as a thank you for watching over their place while they are up north. We suggested Lobstah's as our previous two visits were wonderful. Unfortunately last evenings dining experience was an embarassment to us and a disaster. We decided to sit in the Tiki area which may have been our first... More

The food at Lobstahs is very good. We had a party of 4 and everyone enjoyed their meals. We sat outside at the Tiki area. If we were to go back we would definitely sit inside at the Tiki area.

It is always a thrill to get a great review, particularly when it is as positive as yours. I am sorry for your experience on the deck. Our neighbors are very nice people and usually do not hang out near our tables. I will talk to them and our staff to assure you will be able to dine in peace... More
