Located just outside the main village, PJ Lobster House is Port Jefferson’s go-to spot for fresh seafood in a casual, welcoming setting. Known for its no-frills charm, market-fresh menu, and generous portions, it’s the kind of place where locals dine weekly and visitors feel like they’ve found a hidden gem.

The interior is relaxed and nautical-themed, with wood accents, seafood market vibes, and an adjacent fish counter where you can buy fresh catch to take home. It’s perfect for both a laid-back lunch or an easygoing dinner with family or friends.

The menu is stacked with seafood favorites. The Lobster Roll—served either hot with butter or cold with mayo—is a must, overflowing with sweet, tender chunks of lobster. Other standouts include the Stuffed Flounder, Fried Seafood Platter, and Seared Ahi Tuna. Their Clam Chowders (both New England and Manhattan) are rich and flavorful, making for a great start.

For those not craving seafood, PJ Lobster House offers plenty of land options—Steak Tidbits, Grilled Chicken Sandwiches, and pasta dishes to suit every appetite. Daily specials and seasonal offerings keep the menu fresh and interesting.

The bar features local beers on tap, classic cocktails, and a small but thoughtful wine list. Happy hour and live music nights give the space a bit of an evening buzz without overwhelming the relaxed vibe.

Whether you're dining on the patio during summer or warming up with seafood bisque in the colder months, PJ Lobster House delivers honest, well-prepared food in a laid-back, family-friendly atmosphere that’s become a staple of the Port Jefferson dining scene.
