The Nauti Lobstah (Facebook | Website) in Apopka is marking its fifth anniversary with a month of oversized lobster specials, including a five-pound Maine lobster dinner and a lobster roll that is now “two feet long twice over.”
The seafood restaurant is running the specials through Saturday, October 31. Chef Mike Rumplik, who grew up eating lobster rolls in Rhode Island, is flying in five-pound lobsters from Maine for his Lazy Man’s Lobstah platter, which is cooked to order, cracked, shelled, sautéed in butter and white wine with shrimp and scallops, and topped with Hollandaise. The dish comes with fresh-drawn butter, lemon, and two sides. It is priced at $175, down from the regular $200. Quantities are limited each day, so call ahead to make a reservation.
The restaurant’s “Biggest Lobster Roll in Florida” now comes as two two-foot rolls, each holding 2.5 pounds of Maine lobster tail, claw and knuckle meat, for a total of five pounds. Diners can choose Connecticut style, with warm lobster and drawn butter, or New England style, with chilled lobster, herbed mayonnaise and celery, or order one of each. The roll serves two to eight people and comes with potato chips, remoulade and fries. It costs $385, down from $420, which includes a half-pound of lobster meat free.
The roll debuted for the restaurant’s second anniversary in 2023 and has grown by a pound each year since.
Two new lobster boils for two also join the menu for a limited time. The Classic Nauti Lobstah Boil costs $115 and comes with two one-pound Maine lobsters. The Ultimate Boil costs $170 and comes with two 1.5-pound lobsters and six shrimp. Both include a half-pound each of Gloucester steamer clams and Canadian black mussels, plus potatoes, corn on the cob, and Linguiça sausage. A three-course add-on costs $19 more and includes two cups of New England clam chowder, four Rhode Island clam cakes and two whoopie pies.
The restaurant is also running five giveaways of a free one-pound Maine lobster dinner, one for each year in business. Details on how to enter will be posted on its Instagram and in its email newsletter.
The Nauti Lobstah is located at 311 S. Forest Avenue [GMap] in Apopka. It was named Critic’s Choice Best Seafood in Orlando by the Orlando Sentinel Foodie Awards two years in a row. Rumplik is also one of 60 chefs featured in Visit Orlando’s first destination cookbook. We recorded Episode 21 of “The Orlando Shine Show” there in October 2025, and you can see our photos and videos from that visit HERE.
