2021… what a great year it was for three friends… Christine, Cara and Mike. After over a year of searching for the perfect spot for The Nauti Lobstah, they stumbled upon The Catfish Place in Apopka, a restaurant that had been around for over 38 years.  Luckily for them, there was an instant connection with the owners, Bob and Elaine Johnson, and they realized very quickly what an extraordinary foundation there was along with incredible community support. After several months of working side by side with the Johnsons, they officially became new owners of The Nauti Lobstah in September 2021. What convinced the Johnsons to trust Christine, Cara and Mike with what they had built over many years, was their intention to maintain the menu from The Catfish Place (including Bob’s recipes, the same purveyors, and many of the same kitchen team) and simply enhance it with Chef Mike’s New England specialties! Growing up in Rhode Island, Chef Mike certainly knows a thing or two about delicious seafood fare!

The Nauti Lobstah menu features New England seafood favorites as well as high-quality alternatives such as steaks, chicken, pork, vegetarian options and more. This menu validates their passion, knowledge and technique, with special emphasis on freshness and true seafood fare.  From lobstahs to filet mignon to boneless pork loin, from oystahs to Ritz cracker crusted cod and floundah, from calamari to catfish, from New England fish and chips to linguini with vegetables…  you’ll surely find a dish – or a few! – that will make you scream YUM!  And should your sweet tooth kick in after your amazing meal, then be sure to enjoy one of their homemade desserts…  chocolate peanut butter pie, bourbon bread pudding or even a chocolate mousse martini with strawberry and blueberry compote… to name a few.

For the little ones, there is plenty to choose from on the Lil’ Lobstahs menu. Favorites include fried catfish, grilled cheese, grilled or fried chicken tenders, clam strips, floundah, or popcorn shrimp. And of course, the popular kids beverage, the Shirley Temple!

Enjoy your dinner with friends and family in a cozy and warm environment! There’s even an outdoor shaded patio adorned with beautiful flowers and plants, where your four-legged friends are also welcome!

The Nauti Lobstah offers a variety of refreshing beverages from their full-service bar such as the Summertime Arnold Palmer or Malibu Sunset, or the ever-popular authentic Spanish red wine or champagne sangria with fresh fruit. Of course, they have a wonderful selection of red and white wines and local, domestic, and international beer offerings.

For those of you that are gluten free or vegan, they haven’t forgotten about you! Simply advise your server when you arrive of your dietary needs, and they will be more than happy to accommodate you. Know that for their gluten free friends, their fried menu items can be prepared with corn meal instead of flour and many other menu items can be modified as well to accommodate you. They also offer vegan-friendly options, including their delicious linguini with fresh vegetables.
