Garbo's Grill @ Hanks is a small, family-run food stand offering unique twists on tacos, burritos, and burgers. Despite its unassuming appearance as a shiny airstream camper parked behind a bar, it has gained popularity in Key West and even attracted the attention of Guy Fieri from Diners Drive Ins and Dives. The restaurant was born out of the owners' dream to open a place in Key West but faced challenges due to high lease prices for traditional spaces.
Landon Calrissian Burger FTW! When I was ready to take a break from seafood, this hidden oasis was just what the gastro doc ordered! I got the burger with the bacon and Korean beef, and while delicious, I think the burger with just bacon would have been just as good. Order it all, and eat the BBQ as desired. Burger came on a really delicious bun (toasted), and my wait time was 7-10 minutes tops. The Garbo’s food truck sits on the Hank’s Saloon property which is a gem in its own right. Clean courtyard with a live music stage in the back, and plenty of room to move around, dance and enjoy yourself. When you order you get a buzzer which lights up and vibrates when your order is up. When you’ve had enough fish to know the difference between red snapper and yellowtail, dock the boat and head inland to Garbo’s Grill on Caroline St!

Came for the burgers, stayed for the Korean BBQ tacos! 🔥 Those tacos? Flavor bomb. Total scene-stealer. The burgers? Meh… they showed up but didn’t really bring the energy. Still, the vibe at Hank’s is on point, and I’d gladly come back just to reunite with those tacos. Burger who? Cutest little chicks and chickens too!
Desiree R — Google review
Magical lunch spot. You order from the food truck and they ding you when it’s ready for pickup. I ate the Korean BBQ tacos and they were very tasty. You get 2 tacos and they don’t allow you to mix in another type, you just get one kind. A bit of kimchi costs extra. We also got the spicy hot dogs and my family loved them. I liked eating outside under the shade trees. As with everything in Key West, lunch with tip was like $65.

We got tacos from the food truck out back. They were good. The wait for the tacos was quite substantial even though there was a lot of seating available. The atmosphere is very unique and funky. E enjoyed the live music.

Garbo's Grill at Hanks Saloon hit the spot! We stopped in for lunch and got some juicy burgers that were cooked to perfection 👌🏼. Overall, the music, chill atmosphere and their surprising love for dogs made us feel like this place is truly a local gem. Next time we are in the neighborhood, we will definitely be stopping back in, and highly recommend this spot for a quick bite or snack.
Giovanni V — Google review
Stopped here as part our day in Key West. Really cool place that features a food truck with outdoor seating, an inside bar and an outdoor seating area in the back with a stage where bands can play. Had the burger and it didn’t disappoint. We also had a couple drinks. I recommend a stop at Garbo’s if you are in Key West.
Brant T — Google review
This place is an absolute gem! The food is insane, flavor-packed, fresh, and totally lives up to the hype. We tried the Korean BBQ tacos, the Umami Burger, and the Kogi Dog, every bite was better than the last. You can tell everything is made with care, and the fusion of flavors is next-level. The vibe is laid back Key West cool, tucked behind a bar with plenty of outdoor seating. Super friendly staff and fast service, even during the rush. Garbo’s isn’t just a food truck, it’s a destination. 10/10 recommend grabbing a seat, digging in, and getting messy in the best way possible!

The AC might be weak but the food was great! Happy hour deals were worth it. The sliders were juicy and the tacos were seasoned well. Service was a bit slow but they took the time to make everything well.

B.O.'s Fish Wagon is a quirky seafood shack located in Key West, known for its laid-back atmosphere and delicious food. The eatery gained recognition from the NY Times and even caught the attention of Bobby Flay. The menu offers a variety of seafood dishes with a local twist, perfect for grabbing on-the-go or enjoying at the open-air eatery adorned with eclectic decor.
From the outside it doesn’t look like your typical restaurant. The decor kept my interest during my entire visit. Aside from that though the seafood was delicious! The sandwiches are a good size with lots of fish options. I gave the fried conch a try and it was amazing. I will definitely eat here again.

Fried conch plate was delicious! The breading wasn't thick and it was Seasoned very nice. Fish sandwich had a good portion of fish and was Seasoned well. Great food and good value for the area. The Atmosphere was one of the funnest spots in Key west with a great vibe and awesome customer service. I will go again just to hang with the owners!

What do you know, another Key West spot with immaculate vibes. Such a chill little location. The guy who took our order was so nice, took the time to chat up every customer a little bit. The grouper sandwich is excellent. Picture doesn’t do it justify. It’s a very simple, no frills sandwich, they have a key lime mayo that I’d recommend getting on the side to dip your fries in also. This place rocks.

Five stars for this unique breakfast/lunch/experience. Rough as old boots, but great food at a great price. Order at the window, and take a (rickety) seat; they deliver your order to your table. Fish tacos recommended. A must-visit while in old town Key West.

Restaurant
DJ's Clam Shack, located in downtown Key West on Duval Street, offers a lively and informal dining experience with outdoor seating. The restaurant is known for its extensive menu that brings together northern and southern seafood cultures. Founded by two experienced individuals from Massachusetts and New York, the venue features a variety of dishes such as conch fritters, lobster rolls, clams, fried shrimp, pulled pork, fish tacos, and more.
Had to try the Conch Fritters! DJ's Clam Shack could be defined as a hole-in-the-wall place to eat. It is small and unpretentious. My wife heard about the conch fritters from a friend, so she ordered that. It was probably the best conch that I have had, largely because the fritter itself was tasty. I had the fried shrimp with French fries. The shrimp were large and perfectly cooked. Some of the best I have had. The fries were great as well.

Best lobster roll I’ve ever had. I equally love the hot and the cold one. They are served cold, so if you want a warm one with butter, you just have to ask. I am a local here and I try to go here often. It’s totally worth the money. The portions are wonderful and their coleslaw is some of the best I’ve ever had. It has a sweet and tangy flavor. I will be a forever customer here. Love it here!!!!
Jessie G — Google review
The staff here is super friendly and the service is excellent—definitely makes you feel welcome. The lobster roll was tasty, but I felt like it could’ve used a bit more meat compared to other spots I’ve tried. The clam chowder was solid and comforting. Overall, it’s a good experience, but for me it didn’t quite stand out among the many great seafood options in Key West.
Yong C — Google review
We had a fantastic fast lunch at DJs clam shack. My friend had the shrimp tacos and he said is the best thing he had in our whole trip to Key West. I had the shrimp and garlic butter toast, and it was phenomenal. And my friend with a child’s taste buds ordered the split grilled hotdog and thought it was amazing. You sit on the back patio or the front porch on Duvall Street. As quick counter service and the food was great. Highly recommend this.

Yummy and fast, friendly service. I had the mahi tacos while my husband had the shrimp poor boy. The 2 tacos were huge and came with spectacular fries. The shrimp looked impressive. Hubby didn’t want to share this time,and he always does, so you know it was good. Don’t panic if you don’t see any seating up front. Walk around to the back for more.

ADD THIS TO YOUR KEY WEST ITINERARY. Honestly one of the best spots in Key West for seafood. The lobster roll, clams and chicken tacos are a must-try—super fresh, full of flavor, and served in generous portions. The vibe here is casual and fun, exactly what you’d want in the Keys. It feels local, welcoming, and worth every penny. If you’re in Key West, don’t miss this place.

This restaurant was a great find. My family ordered two lobster rolls and the fried seashells with fries. The food only took about 5-10 minutes to come out, and the decorations were fun and colorful. Cashier was friendly and customers were too. The lobster rolls were soft and delicious, while the seashells were warm and filling. The fries were crispy, and we enjoyed the food. Definitely recommend coming here, as the food is delicious.

Guy didn't steer me wrong. I've eaten a lot of clam chowder in my life and this was by far the best. The warm lobster rolls were also stellar and by a long stretch one of the finest. The people working were so nice and incredibly chill. Is a great stop for one of best lunches you'll ever have.

Fisherman's Cafe is a beloved eatery in Key West, known for its beach-shack vibe and local seafood sandwiches. Since the 1970s, it has been a meeting place for Key West fishermen and now sits in the heart of Key West Historic Seaport. The cafe takes breakfast seriously, offering options like cheese and grits with bacon, steak, lobster, or shrimp. Forbes dubbed it a paradise for serious foodies due to its fresh seafood and made-to-order specialties.
Great spot to grab a decently priced (for Key West anyway) sandwich on the go. We opted for the Shrimp Po-Boy and Spicy Chicken wrap. Both were a good size and tasty! The fries were also pretty good. Service was quick and the food was hot. It is also nice they serve their breakfast menu all day. Good spot to grab a coffee before you head out on whatever excursions you have leaving from the marina.

Oh man, I was disappointed! All the highlighted food photos seem to be from an outdated menu, which the employee confirmed. I showed him multiple items which I came for, and he said they stopped serving them almost 10 years ago. It’s a relatively inexpensive restaurant so I can’t complain too much, and the food was pretty good. The vibe was very cute & fitting for the keys, and they have a couple tables, all outside. We ordered the Chinese chicken salad and the Cuban sandwich. The salad was lacking- I really struggle to pay $15 for a salad that is 90% lettuce- BUT the house-made dressing was good and it was fun to try palm hearts. The Cuban was crunchy and well-made. The battered fries were great! The staff was friendly and another customer said “you’ll definitely be back”.

A must-see place for lovers of good breakfast. From the moment you arrive, the atmosphere is warm and welcoming, with an attentive and friendly service that makes you feel at home. The dishes are prepared with fresh and quality ingredients, presented in detail and with a flavor that exceeds expectations. The portions are generous, ideal to start the day with energy, and the variety of the menu ensures that there is always something new to try: from classic options such as eggs and pancakes, to more original and creative proposals. The coffee is aromatic and perfectly prepared, the perfect complement to an experience that is enjoyed from start to finish. In short, a restaurant that combines good atmosphere, excellent service and delicious food. Perfect for breakfast as a couple, family or friends. Totally recommended!

The best place for breakfast in Key west. “Fisherman’s Café in Key West offers a lively, no-frills breakfast experience with real local flavor. Their breakfast sandwiches, Cuban coffee, and guava toast are all excellent, and the outdoor setting by the seaport is charming. Their new bacon-egg-cheese pancake sandwich sounds like a creative and indulgent must-try—combining savory morning staples with the sweetness and fluff of pancakes. If you’re looking for something uniquely delicious to fuel your day in paradise, this spot delivers.”

The girl that took the orders was the rudest person ever!!! She refused to give us extra napkins. Rolled her eyes at me and said they had given us extra napkins in the bag when I looked, there were 2 napkins in there.She hesitantly, gave me 2 more napkins, and when I ask for more she refused I highly doubt they had a camera looking over that dumpy little Place l o l bad customer service would not recommend this place to anyone. The food wasn't that great either. The fries were greasy and over salted, the fish was greasy and tasteless. The owners reply down below is false. The girl at the counter did not give me extra napkins. She told me that there were extra napkins in the bag when I checked there were only 2 napkins in the bag, She argued with me and was rude toward me the whole transaction, obviously they don't care about tourists or they would treat them nicer, very unpleasant place to go. Was recommended to go there by parasailing guy. What a big huge mistake. Could have went somewhere else and even sat down and had a better experience than that greasy spoon.🤮😡

Love love this spot. Come for happy hour and sit by the bay. Must get: Gulf oysters. So fresh. Get at least a dozen Clam in a bucket. So fresh and tasty with white wine sauce SOLID: Conch fritters. Worth trying given that it's a big deal in keywest but it's decent. SKIP: Steamed mussels: we sent it back given that it was rubbery. Viognier by the glass was excellent.

We went to the happy hour a little bit early as this is very busy as a locals favorite. This was like a one day celebration of my birthday. Dave our bartender was great as he let us put in our orders for drinks a few minutes early I had dark and stormy rum drink with ginger beer and my husband tried a couple of draft beers. They have a full menu besides the happy hour menu. We have gone here many times. Love it! Fast friendly service. I love the beer steamed pink shrimp and husband loves their oysters.

10000/10 highly recommend and would come again! This place is absolutely wonderful! Quality food, service, and premium atmosphere! We had a large party of about 25 people with 14lbs of fresh fish to cook. We also had an hour delay due to personal issues… Not only did they have the best spot to sit a large party in a private section of the restaurant, but they were so kind to accommodate our late arrival with zero fuss. They had the best service and were in top of all the orders for such a large group. The waiter Danny was so even keeled through the chaos and had the best customer service I’ve experienced in years. The BYOC (bring your own catch) was reasonably priced and they will fry, blacken, and grill it up for you. It was absolutely delicious!! Also, they have some of the best oysters in town. Definitely get the garlic baked ones!! Can’t wait to come back!

Amigos Tortilla Bar is a vibrant Mexican eatery in Key West, featuring Day of the Dead decor and a menu filled with Mexican street food and gluten-free beers. Despite its name, it's not a bar but rather a cozy spot offering mouthwatering fresh-Mex dishes. Located just off Duval Street, it provides indoor seating as well as an open-air counter for prime people-watching.
Great food. Quick service. Shareable portions. Margaritas have the typical premade mix taste. Not fresh sour mix.

This cute little restaurant is a great option for an affordable and tasty lunch/dinner off Duval St. I came in on a rainy day and they were very busy for dinner. They have tables indoor and outdoor. They also have rail seating. We were sat on the rail and given the menu promptly. Our waitress was very sweet and explained everything with care. I ordered the beef bowl and a side of chips and (hot) salsa. I was so happy that the chips are made in-house and tasted so fresh, also that hot salsa is actually hot/spicy and had a great flavor. The beef bowl was delicious and a great big portion. Truly would come back here soon if I lived closer.

This cute little restaurant is a great option for an economically affordable and tasty lunch off Duval St. I visited on a rainy day late afternoon. There wasn’t much of a crowd. Good for me! 😉They have tables indoor and outdoor. I requested to be seated outside and was accommodated. Everyone I encountered was nice. I received a menu promptly and placed my order. I opted the bean tacos and asked if I could have veggies added. The server said yes. I ordered a corn she’ll and from tbe looks and taste of it, the corn shell was made in-house. It was bland, but tasty with the added ingredients. After completing my meal and receiving the bill, I noticed an unexpected charge of $3 for the vegetables. Although I was surprised by this additional fee, as it was not indicated on the menu and I was not informed by the server, I chose to overlook it, particularly since the restaurant offers resident and tourist specials. I appreciated the establishment's efforts to accommodate a diverse clientele and found the experience satisfactory overall. I look forward to returning in the future when in town.

I enjoyed the tacos here but they don't bring salsa with the tacos and since my waitress never came back to check on me - I didn't get any salsa so I ate them anyway - they were a little dry, so ask for the salads upfront. The tacos would have been much better with some salsa and I would go back but be sure to ask for salsa. I had a veggie taco and a black bean taco both were tasty. Canned beer options are good. No draft beer. Service could be better.

Ate here for lunch. The portions are HUGE. We had tacos and nachos. Super tasty! I LOVED the birria tacos. There were 4 of them. I could have stopped after 3 so be prepared to share or leave very full. We will be back here again. Staff were very friendly and helpful. My son has a lactose intolerance so he got his smoothie with water. He loved it! Mine I got with milk and it was good but I wished I got it with just water like his. Not much space to sit inside. You can eat outside but warm temps mean a lot of people will take out. For an authentic and locally owned experience this is the place.

Visiting from California and knew we wanted to get a Cuban sandwich somewhere in Florida. Came across this place on our way out of town and decided to give it a try as in our experience, hole in the wall places are good. No disappointment here. The sandwich was huge! We bought two and ended up splitting one for lunch and saved the other for dinner. We were there on the day of the big rain so we couldn't take advantage of the outdoor table and there's only a tiny bar to sit at inside so we drove to the botanical garden and ate there. The menu was quite extensive.

The great place to visit for some authentic Cuban food. I was heading back to Miami from and drove by this place but instantly turned around. I'm glad I did stop through because the atmosphere is great. I ordered the Cuban mix with everything it comes with. I need to go back so I can try the breakfast everyone talks about and get the Cuban coffee.

Love this place for a quick bite to eat. The beef skirt tacos are so delicious and filling. The burrito is huge! The coffee is strong. Sort of out of the way but a nice family owned restaurant. There’s not many tables to sit and eat but outside has a few tables. The flan was so creamy and sweet. A nice treat!

The Southernmost Beach Café is a beachfront open-air restaurant located at the Southernmost Beach Resort. The café offers American cuisine and a relaxed, shabby-chic ambiance with ocean blue walls and French cafe chairs. It's a popular spot for both locals and tourists to enjoy stunning views while savoring seafood dishes like crab cakes and conch fritters.
Took my kiddos to the Butterfly Garden and as soon as we walked out, they both were “hungry.” We took a walk down towards the beach, and Southernmost Beach Café was the sight for sore eyes. We had a minimal wait time since it was very busy and during lunch time. We were seated within 20 minutes, and we didn’t mind waiting. The restaurant is very relaxing, with various views of the beach and pier. Our server, Angela was the best. She advised us that the credit card machine was down and we needed to pay in cash. No biggie, our drink order was taken, and our food was out in no time. The meal was fresh, and the jalapeño on the burger were very spicy and added a kick. The French Fries were crispy the way I like them, and both kiddos and I were STUFFED! The entire meal was amazing, and the service was awesome. If you’re looking for a kid friendly restaurant with great beach views and delicious foods, please consider Southernmost Beach Café. Enjoy!

A great open-air restaurant on the beach. Went for breakfast (twice) on wet, rainy mornings. The food was good though they only have heavily seasoned breakfast potatoes and not hashbrowns (our favorite). Server was good though very soft spoken and spoke only basic English. Happily surprised that they have gluten-free bread.

Food was good. I had the poke bowl which could have used more sauce because it was a little bland otherwise but everything was cooked perfectly and the presentation was nice. Can see the water easily though the beach does have a lot of sea grass (which is fine since it’s important). They only had fans so if you’re looking for AC don’t think this is the place but for dinner it was cool enough. Staff was very nice. Pricing is more affordable than some of the other places nearby.

This cafe is located at Southern most point of US in Key West. Its facing the beach though the beach is not the best one to visit. Its very close to Southern most point. The service is slow as only one person was taking care of orders and serving too. The food portion was good. Cauliflower dish was disappointing . We wanted a take away and that was slow.

Eaton Street Seafood Market, located in a converted old gas station, offers an array of fresh seafood options. Whether you're looking to cook at home or indulge in a delicious meal on-site, this casual eatery has you covered. The menu features a variety of sandwiches including crab cake and shrimp salad, as well as fried fish and grilled lobster tail. Additionally, the market provides fresh fish to go for those who prefer cooking at home.
Anyone that travels with kids know that it’s hard at times to find a menu that both your kid and you can agree on. Not this place, Eaton Street Seafood Market has you covered. They served the very BEST lobster rolls that will melt in your mouth. Not to mention they have chicken tenders and fries on the menu as well. My wife had the fish tacos, and she used the following words “to die for.” So that’s a good sign of some good eating. The staff were polite, friendly and helpful. Food was out within minutes, and there is approximately 6-8 tables for outdoor dining. Parking was an issue, there was three spot located directly in front of the restaurant. Street parking within the neighborhood could be dicey depending on the time that you visit. Please enjoy a meal at Eaton Street Seafood Market, you will thank me later! Enjoy.

Food was excellent!!! As someone who doesn’t eat fresh fish like this often, when I asked the girl working for help it somewhat seemed like an inconvenience to educate me on the different fish, but I ended up with the blackened snapper tacos & it was great! 2 people in my party had stone crab & they were thrilled. Outdoor eating was perfect!

Eaton Street Seafood is another one of our favorites in Key West!! Would definitely recommend if you like fresh seafood, stone crab, and delicious lobster rolls!! If you're looking for casual delicious fast seafood look no further then Eaton Street Seafood. There are 3 small parking spaces in the front of the building for customers only. Which is great especially when so many places are pay to park in Key West.

Fried conch strip basket: The conch was good, though a little chewy, but maybe that's how they're supposed to be? The fries were cooked perfectly, crispy on the outside and soft in the inside. The coleslaw tasted sour in a bad way, like it's old. The local chickens are great dining companions. Outside seating only. Counter service; order in the inside.

Eaton Street Seafood Market is one of the best seafood restaurants that I have been too. Its portions are huge and the service is lightning fast. After placing our order, the crab chowder arrived almost immediately. It had a substantial amount of crab and tasted great with the saltine crackers that came with it. Shortly after, the rest of our food came. For only $29, the lobster roll was HUGE. It had twice as much lobster and was half the price of the lobster rolls we’ve gotten in New England. It also tasted just as good, if not better. The fries that were served with the fried shrimp and fish basket were also some of the best I’ve had. They were fried to a perfect crisp, and so were the fish and shrimp. The plantain chips that came with most of the meals also were pretty good. The restaurant had a good vibe and the bathrooms were also clean. 5 stars.

Loved the food and the free range chickens roaming around. Unfortunately we were seated at a table serviced by the bartender - who was totally absorbed by the single customer at the bar. First time I've ever left what I consider a very poor tip... but i assume the customer at the bar getting all the attention and service would be leaving a huge tip. The food was great - and especially loved the meringue on the key lime pie, rather than whip cream.

Glazed Donuts is a casual shop on Eaton Street that has been serving up creative donuts and coffee since 2012. The space is relaxed with robot decor, making it a unique spot to enjoy delicious treats. They take pride in crafting each donut from scratch, ensuring that there's a perfect option for everyone.
Great Donut and Coffee experience. Decor is like retro donut shop. Some seating but not enough for large crowd. Donuts are a tad pricey but worth it. Made fresh every day unlike chain stores who have them shipped in. They do not offer "by the dozen" pricing just individual. I would suggest going each morning and getting a fresh donut and coffee.

Definitely on the pricey side for donuts but that comes with the benefit of being high quality. They're not overwhelmingly sweet. Outside almost has a light crust making for a great bite into the soft interior. Pictured is the key lime & Boston creme, filled with plenty of filling! This order cost me $10.30

The donuts, coffee and staff were great! This place has so much potential — if the ambiance matched the food, it could easily be packed with people who would stay longer and order more. Unfortunately, the smell of cleaning products was so strong that it almost smelled dirty, making it hard to stay and eat. There were also lots of extra donut boxes lining the walls, which made the space feel more like a storage unit than a donut shop.
Jeanie S — Google review
4 stars just because of price... I realize everything in the Keys is expensive, but almost $5 a donut was a little steep for me, even as a guy who's favorite sweet is donuts. We were on vacation so we had to sample a half dozen, and the flavors, taste and size were 5 star. The key lime was delicious and I loved the seasonal pumpkin spice. As well as a bakery it's also a very cute coffee shop with a decent amount of inside seating. It's just a block between Truman's Annex and Duval street, so a great location for anyone staying at that end of the island. As the only shop I could find doing traditional donuts, and given how tasty they were, I'd justify the price again if I ever make it back to the keys.

Glazed Donuts is a delightful spot in Key West with a creative, welcoming atmosphere and consistently high-quality selections. The space features fun robot-themed wall art, a U.S. map of donut shops, and an informative board describing their coffee roasting process and menu... small details that really add to the experience. One of my favorite features is the front window where you can watch the kitchen in action. It’s clear a lot of care goes into every batch. I always pick up a lemon poppy seed roll while also trying something new. The coffee is also good, with a self-serve area for customization. There’s seating inside, including a few children’s books along the wall, making it comfortable for a quick breakfast or a relaxed start to the day. The bathroom is clean, and the shop itself is well-maintained. I usually visit early, and by the time I leave, there’s often a line forming out the door, and indication of how good the donuts are. The staff are friendly and provide excellent service. A great stop for locals and visitors alike.

Had read this was a must stop when in the keys. It was okay. We tried the conch trio and some shrimp tacos. The ceviche did not taste like ceviche at all. It was okay.

The food was pretty good overall, and it’s a fun, casual place to grab a quick bite. That said, the conch fritters were a little dry for my taste, but still had decent flavor.

The Lobster Shack Key West is a charming coastal eatery known for its limited yet delectable menu featuring shellfish-centric classics. This popular lunch spot offers a taste of the Northeast with its Maine lobster rolls, available in various tempting varieties. The casual sky-blue shack has garnered acclaim for its incredibly fresh seafood, including the mouth-watering lobster roll served with hot butter and a hint of fresh key lime juice.

They’re packed with so much lobster, you won’t believe how much meat you get! And let me tell you, Tim, the owner, is the best. The customer service is top-notch.

Absolutely the BEST Lobster Roll in Key West — and honestly, one of the BEST we’ve ever had anywhere in the world! We had the Key West Lobster Roll — the classic one with warm butter and Key Lime juice — and let us tell you: it completely exceeded every expectation we had. Packed with an incredibly generous amount of lobster meat, it was tender, juicy, buttery, and bursting with flavor. Every bite was just perfect. You can taste the freshness and care in every detail. What truly makes Lobster Shack stand out is not just the food (which is absolutely premium), but also the people. The owner and the entire team are some of the kindest, warmest folks we’ve met on our travels. You feel genuinely welcome from the second you walk in — and that makes the experience even more special. We’ve eaten in many places around the globe, but this one is something we’ll never forget. If you’re in Key West, you HAVE to come here. Treat yourself — it’s 100% worth it. Super, super, super delicious. Just wow. 👏🦞💛

If you’re in Key West, The Lobster Shack is an absolute must-visit! We grabbed a couple of their famous lobster rolls, and they did not disappoint. The lobster was incredibly fresh, sweet, and tender, packed generously into a perfectly toasted buttery bun. We tried both the classic lobster roll and the spicy version with fresh jalapeños — both were delicious, but the spicy one added a perfect little kick if you like some heat. You can really taste the quality of the lobster, and they don’t skimp on the portions. The spot itself has that laid-back Key West vibe, small and casual, but the food speaks for itself. Definitely one of the better lobster rolls I’ve had — fresh, flavorful, and satisfying. Highly recommend stopping by if you’re in town and craving fresh seafood!

I made a reservation for 17 people trough google messages and I talked with Theresa. She was so nice and very flexible. We got there and the table was set up and ready on time for us.

There are only a couple of tables outside, so you may want to plan to grab and go. However, we were there during lunch time and still got a table. It seems this might be more of a locals spot because I saw several pick-up orders take place while we were there. Highly recommend 😀👍

Great Gem for Taco and Burritos! Me and wife stop by for a quick late lunch. Both of us had their handmade soft corn taco trios. I had the tacos with ground Kobe Beef and Pork Carnitas. My wife had the same with the addition of Roasted Chicken. All the tacos were soft and juicy. Additionally all the toppings were fresh. The restaurant offers outside seating with only two tables and a bench. I would recommend taking it to go and enjoying it at home or on the beach over looking the waves. The price is little above normal, but it worth it compare to other Duval Street restaurants. Check out the prices on the pictures below. Overall, I give it 4.5 stars...but Google cut the .5 stars as tax, Sorry.

We saw this place on Diners, Drive-ins, and Dives, and it had very high reviews as well, so we decided to give it a try. The service was pretty good and the staff was very friendly, but the food was not very impressive. It was, in fact, fairly bland flavor-wise and the portion size was less than impressive. We ordered the Surf and Turf tacos plus Mi Casa salad. After our meal, we left wondering what all the fuss was about. It wasn't what I'd call a disaster, it was just disappointing. We wished we had tried a different restaurant, we won't go back.

We first visited Bad Boy Burrito on a food tour and tried their fish tacos and boy was it delicious. I'd say the best fish taco I've ever had. It so happens it was their last day at their original location. Because of the fish taco we wanted to try more so we visited the new location for dinner. I had the Trio tacos of chicken, beef and pork while hubby had the steak and eggs tacos and they did not disappoint. They are still putting the finishing touches on the new place but the food is great and the owner is a really honest and nice guy.

2017: Okay...I know it's called Bad Boy Burito but we ordered the Tacos and they were very good. I may have been expecting them to be a little larger in size but they made up for that in taste! 2018: Lunchtime earlier this week. This was our 2nd TripleD stop of the day and if you are in the area it's definitely worth the stop. Bad Boy Burrito...and this time we got Burritos 😁 they were good portions and very delicious!

Kaya Island Eats is an outdoor eatery on Duval Street that offers a fusion of Caribbean and Hawaiian flavors. Chef Scott Taylor's Hawaiian roots influence the menu, featuring dishes like Killer Fish Tacos with local Mahi Mahi, Key Lime slaw, and mango pineapple salsa. The restaurant exudes laid-back island vibes and serves a variety of options including burgers, salads, Jamaican jerk chicken, seafood, and tacos.
Kaya delivered a great dining experience, starting with the service, which was warm, attentive, and efficient from start to finish. We kicked things off with the Bang Bang Bites which were visually stunning and beautifully plated. The sauce was the standout, flavorful and addictive. That said, the fish itself could’ve used a bit more seasoning. Without the sauce, it was pretty bland, so a little extra spice or salt would go a long way in letting the dish stand on its own. The Killer Fish Tacos were exactly that: killer. Fresh, vibrant, and bursting with flavor. Highly recommend. We also sampled the Mahi Mahi Fish of the Day, served with the Thai chili sauce. The pairing worked beautifully. The fish was tender and the sauce had just the right mix of sweetness and heat. Next up was Flagler’s Fish Sandwich and this dish delivered! The blackened fish was packed with flavor, and the sandwich was perfectly balanced with a rich, flavorful sauce that brought it all together. The fries on the side were hot and crispy, making the whole plate a win. That Thai chili sauce? We dipped everything in it. Truly the "sauce of sauces" because it worked with every dish we tried! To sip, we had the Backyard Tea cocktail. It was alright but wouldn't have it again. The complimentary mai thaï we were given as a tester when we arrived was miles better. Let's talk vibes. Did you know Kaya has outdoor seating? Because we didn’t! We walked in for the Caribbean cuisine and cozy indoor vibe, only to discover a tucked-away outdoor patio that’s perfect for lingering over drinks and good food and ended up sitting there. It was such a pleasant experience!

Seriously the best fish and chips ever! Crunchy outside and tender inside local mahi mahi and a delicious vinegar Cole slaw. Fish not heavy or greasy! Very good juicy Beach Burger. The key lime pie supposedly is the best on the island. Home run on the food. Laid back Island music sets a great vibe to relax out of the heat. Friendly staff served food hot and quickly. Another place not to be overlooked for more popular spots.

We had the BEST experience at Kaya Island Eats! We brought in mahi-mahi we caught earlier on our fishing charter (the captain Sam of cowboy charters recommended this spot) , and they cooked it up for us three different ways!!! every single one plate was incredible. So flavorful, perfectly cooked, and came out so fast! Huge shoutout to John, our waiter!! he was amazing! Ask for him when you go. Super friendly, full of great recommendations for things to do around the Keys, and suggested we try the Mai Tais (thankfully we did because they were delicious here at Kaya’s). Couldn’t have asked for a better meal or service. Highly recommend this place. 10/10 experience all around!

Kaya Island Eats is absolutely amazing! Every dish we tried was bursting with fresh flavors, vibrant presentation, and that perfect island twist. The tacos were loaded with fresh toppings and incredible sauces, the appetizers were beautifully plated, and everything tasted as good as it looked — just check out the photos! Highly recommend this spot if you’re looking for delicious island-inspired food and a great atmosphere.

Food is crazy good / delicious. Plus they cook your fresh catch in one of 3 ways. The Bang Bang style and the Asian style were so delicious that my kids who do NOT eat fish decided to eat half my meal. It is that good. Gonna try the 3rd style aka Cajun style asap. Plus the folks are super chill and friendly. Two Thumbs Up. Highly recommend to folks who want a good meal and a chill atmosphere.

We had a really good experience at Kaya Island Eats. The conch fritters were delicious, and our favorite dish was the Veggie Warrior Won Tons (potstickers with super thin carrots/ginger)—super tasty and unique. We also tried the jerk chicken pasta; it was good, but I was hoping for a bit more of that bold jerk flavor to really shine through. The service was wonderful—friendly and attentive—and the atmosphere is laid-back and welcoming. Huge bonus that they’re dog friendly, which made it even better. Overall, a solid spot on Duval Street with great service and some standout appetizers.

The food here is hands down the best on the island if you're looking for fresh-caught fish in a safe, welcoming environment. We ended up eating here every single day of our trip, it was just that good. The staff are incredibly friendly and kind, making the experience even more enjoyable. While the service isn't always lightning-fast, the laid-back pace fits perfectly with the island vibe. Good food in a great atmosphere is worth the wait. Special shoutout to bartender Ellie, she went above and beyond every day. Her attention to detail and warm personality truly made our visits memorable. Highly recommend this spot, especially if you have food allergies, we’ll be back next time we’re on the island!

Thirsty Mermaid is a cozy restaurant and raw bar in Key West, known for its locally sourced seafood, salads, and craft beers. The husband-wife duo behind the establishment has also opened another popular restaurant in the area. Thirsty Mermaid offers a casual yet refined dining experience with a focus on fresh, local ingredients.

Found this exceptionally hidden little gem. Staff was very helpful and friendly. We started with the Hummus platter with grilled baguettes and bread services. Let me tell you that baguettes were perfectly grilled and flavorful. Then, I had the “Special of the Day” A blacken grouper sandwich with caramelized onions with arugula and this sauce. WOW a prefect combo with a side of well seasoned fries. And my wife and the pan seared snapper with fettuccine and grilled cherry tomatoes platter. What an amazing lunch. I would highly recommend this place. Very clean restaurant with staff that make you feel like family.

Found this little restaurant while walking around Key West and decided to pop in for dinner, spoiler alert: best decision ever. The Peruvian scallops were delicious as well as the clam chowder as appetizers. They had the most delicious crab raviolis as special, they should put it as a permanent plate because they where out of this world and the key west pink shrimp with the gnocchi and edamame where delicious as well. If I could only ask for one thing is that they make their portions a bit bigger because the food is so good you always need more.

Great happy hour and EXCELLENT oysters. My wife says these are the best oysters she’s ever had. Narragansett brews a beer for them, pairs well. I’d skip the Mac n cheese croquette next time and just get more oysters . The ceviche is made with a white fish that’s very good too.

Enjoyed a lovely dinner. Waitstaff was wonderfully attentive, and it was quite full for a Thursday evening. Spent about $170 for 2 drinks, appetizer and 2 mains and tip. Seating at the bar looked cozy as well, but our table for 2 was comfortable and intimate. Clean bathroom with changing table and themed art prints. Highly reccomend the short walk off Duvall street, especially if looking to escape the bustle and tizzy of the main thoroughfare.

During our trip to Key West, we had the pleasure of meeting the owner of the establishment.

This place is new to me, though their other restaurant, Antonia’s, is a long-time fave. And I say that not knowing if they have more than these two. Lunch today was fresh fettucine with lovely peeled (and maybe confit?) grape tomatoes, which I assume are San Marzano, topped with a perfectly pan seared grouper. Super light cream sauce. Side of their garlic bread. All excellent! As good as or maybe even better than any lunch at coastal spots I love throughout Italy, France, and coastal USA. And the place is casual-cool. Quaint without being stuffy. Lovely staff. Tiny, which is another plus. Yummm!

Cool little private beach joint. Remnants of an old boat ramp under the sand so don't try to dig to China. Of course it's a little pricey since it's in Key West but it was a nice, relaxing visit. The set-up guy, Jimmy chatted with us for a bit. He looks exactly like a guy from home in IL.

Blue Heaven is a renowned dining spot in Key West, known for its iconic Floridian-Caribbean cuisine and delectable key lime pie. The restaurant boasts a funky setting in a shady backyard, offering classic cooking and flavors. It's one of the top 10 restaurants noted by Conde Nast Traveler, alongside other unique dining establishments in the area.
Blue Heaven is everything you want in a true Key West experience! I had the Florida Lobster Grilled Cheese and it was AMAZING—rich, buttery, and packed with flavor. The drinks at the bar were perfectly mixed and hit the spot. Live music and a relaxed island vibe made the whole experience even better, especially with the roosters and chickens casually roaming around—classic Key West charm! We loved it so much, we came back later that day just for a slice of their famous Key Lime Pie… and WOW. It’s a must-have—tangy, creamy, and absolutely delicious. Can’t wait to go back!

We loved this place it was such a great time. So eclectic and cool. The key lime pie was delicious. My husband had the mahi sandwich which was juicy and flaky. I ate the shrimp and grits as well which was tasty. We went as a group and everyone of us enjoyed the food. The service was amazing. It was fun to have the chickens hanging outside while we ate. Super cute gift shop I bought a tile with chickens on it. They also let you bring your catch of the day and cook it for you which is really neat

Really neat and eclectic place to eat! The food was delicious, and albeit very expensive, you could tell they emphasized food quality and prioritized organic, local, and farm to table produce and food. Their key lime pie was also very delicious. There are free range chickens roaming around and live music playing. It’s loud, but definitely a really cool experience. I don’t think I’ve eaten at a place quite like it. It feels like a haven inside key west.

If you’re in Key West, Blue Heaven absolutely lives up to its name — it’s a little slice of paradise on a plate! We went for Sunday lunch while on vacation, and even though the place was super busy (we waited about 1 hour and 20 minutes), it was totally worth the wait. The vibe is pure Key West — open-air, al fresco dining, colorful decor, chickens wandering around, and live music adding to the laid-back island feel. I ordered the Surf and Turf Benedict, which features Filet Mignon and Lobster — and wow, it was phenomenally good. Perfectly cooked, rich, and absolutely unique. My friends’ dishes were just as amazing: the BLT Benedict (where the “L” stands for Lobster) and a Shrimp Omelette that was loaded and flavorful. Of course, we couldn’t leave without trying their famous Key Lime Pie, and it did not disappoint. Tangy, creamy, and just the right amount of sweet — easily one of the best I’ve ever had. Whether you’re a foodie or just want the quintessential Key West experience, Blue Heaven is a must-visit. I’d recommend it to anyone heading to the island — just go early, be patient, and enjoy the tropical atmosphere while you wait.

As always a fun and amazing place! Breakfast was amazing on a Saturday! My crew and I got there nice and early just a little after open and walked right in. Certainly filled shortly after.

Low key but relaxing and cool outdoors setting. Great spot for breakfast and brunch probably for dinner too. Come early before 10am to escape the long wait line. The line gets so long they have a waiting area across the street, the size of a restaurant. The food does not disappoint but doesn’t wow either. The roosters trying to catch a chicken and flying over our table were a bit much for me, but people seemed to enjoy it.

The lobster was so fresh and yummy!! let’s not forget the FAMOUS KEY LIME PIE! WOW!! 100/10! I’m usually not a Keylime pie person but the one at Blue Heaven definitely changed my mind!!

For the main course, the blackened Yellowtail Snapper was absolutely amazing—fresh, flaky, and perfectly seasoned. The blackened shrimp didn’t disappoint either.

If you’re looking for a place that captures the true taste and spirit of Key West, Conch Republic Seafood Company is an absolute must-visit. Start your meal with their Calamari, Crab Cakes, and Stuffed Mushrooms Martinique, all three are exceptional and set the tone for an amazing starters. For the main course, the Local Snapper Fillet and St. Kitts Pasta are standouts fresh and flavorful. You really can’t go wrong with this combination. We visited while on vacation, eager to try new places, and this one quickly became our favorite for both lunch and dinner. There was no wait time during either visit, which is perfect. The sunset views from the restaurant are absolutely stunning, creating the perfect backdrop for your meal. Don’t miss out on their frozen drinks, especially on a hot Key West day they’re very refreshing.Overall, I’d rate this spot a solid 10/10 a must-try when in Key West.😍😎🌅

Hogfish Bar & Grill is a lively seafood eatery located on Stock Island, just before Key West. It's known for its namesake hogfish sandwich, a Florida Keys delicacy that's relatively obscure in other parts of the U.S. The hogfish is a mild, delicate fish with a sweet flavor and flaky texture.
Absolutely cool shack serving great tasting food of all sorts, but with a focus on fresh fish. Had snapper with blackened shrimp, lobster, saffron flavoured cream sauce with rice, green beans and carrots. The fish was beautifully cooked. Daughter had fried calamari - fresh, delicious. Other daughter had the Vandenburger- also delicious. Key lime pie was not as good as my own. And I say that as a Brit! Server was very kind, attentive and polite- thank you.

Well, it's the place to go, so we went. Pretty common food joint in my opinion but others seem to love it. I don't personally like seafood, so that may have something to do with it.

Great food, not so great service. We had the Stock Island Mixed Grill and the Shrimp Tacos, both were delicious, fresh, and full of flavor. The place has a great local vibe and feels very authentic to the Keys. Unfortunately, the service didn’t match the food. We were a large group and asked from the start if we could have separate checks. The waitress said they couldn’t split them but that we could each pay our part at the end. When the check came, it was all together, and we ended up having to split everything ourselves, not ideal after a big meal and a few beers. We totally understand that some restaurants don’t split checks, but usually they at least help process payments individually on the device, which makes it much easier for big groups. A little help from the waitress would have made a big difference.

So on a recommendation we went in search of Hogfish Bar & Grill. It took a Google Maps search to find it, but we did. It was worth the search. We began with their Lobster Bisque. It was the best we have had... maybe ever. Full of lobster pieces and chunks, a mild favor of dry sherry, and not over powered by tomato paste. It was absolutely delightful. We, my lovely wife and I highly recommend it. And the bowl is enough for a couple to share as an appetizer or to feed a hungry sailor. Next, my wife chose the shrimp and chips basket. It came with only 6 shrimp, but they were not just large, but really big. A light crispy fried coating. The shrimp were plump and juicy. Perfectly cooked with a basket of fries, a cup of slaw and cocktail sauce. The shrimp were fresh and delicious. And the six were enough for a meal. The fries were crispy and the slaw were good. But the shrimp was amazingly delicious. I chose the special; the whole Florida Lobster stuffed with Lump Crab Meat. It was served with rice, a cream sauce for the rice, and the chef's steamed vegetables. This was beyond delicious. It was probably a 1 or 2 lb spiny lobster, cooked perfectly and stuffed with lump crab meat with out peppers, onions, unnecessary breadcrumbs, but hust lots of crab with some butter and a little Panco and nothing else. It was unforgettable. Served with melted butter which it really didn't need. The lobster was sweet and naturally buttery. Cooked perfectly. The rice with cream sauce was a perfect compliment with the steam veggies. We chose to eat by the water on the deck, which only added to the ambiance. This place, this food is worth the search. We have eaten in many of the Keys eateries, but Hogfish is the best.

Pepe's Cafe is a historic restaurant in the Florida Keys, dating back to 1909. Originally a Cuban grocery that also sold alcohol and featured live music, it has evolved into a popular spot for signature breakfasts and surf 'n' turf dishes. The laid-back vibes and rustic charm make it a local favorite for hearty meals any time of day.
This is an old establishment. I sat on the outside deck with a fan about me to keep me cool. I chose a bacon cheeseburger with coleslaw. That was absolutely delicious. I asked the manager, Jessica, to be honest with me and recommend best place for key lime pie in Key West and she told me that Pepe's was in the top three and maybe the best. The best. She comped me my first ever piece of key lime pie. It was absolutely delicious. The cinnamon crust the condensed milk in the pie made it very rich and very tasty. I now have a benchmark for all future key lime pies. This was a welcomed Oasis on a hot day. The chickens were cute too

If you look at this place from a certain angle, while trying to avoid the Gulf Coast sun from blinding you, it almost looks like it is closed. It wasn't until we got really close to it that we realized that it was fully functional. As we got closer, a friendly voice welcomed us in and directed us to the bar. Once we got there, Katie Mae simply knocked our socks off with her sense of humor, conversation, and knowledge of the island. Of course we ordered the $1.75 oysters and my friend ordered what's considered the best Mojito in town. My beers were cold and frequent. We truly enjoyed our two visits to Pepe's during our Key West adventure.

Luke ran the section and we followed all of his great recommendations; pepes style snapper and blackened snapper with a slab of keylime pie that was supposed to be eaten in the morning. The pie didnt survive the short walk back to the hotel. Its with good reason this place has been around longer than any restaurant in Key West. EAT HERE!

The key lime pie here was my husbands favorite in Key West. The rest of the food was pretty good. Convenient location after a dolphin and snorkeling trip.

A friend and I went for dinner here while on a trip to the Keys; We were fortunate to have Brooke as our server, she was fantastic, fun, made great conversation. Frequent stops were made to check on our food and drinks as well as some great suggestions for us to try. We had a few different fresh oysters, the hogfish, and lobster mac and cheese. All of our food was fresh and delicious, the drinks also did not disappoint. I will definitely be back.

This is a nice spot for seafood dinner. The oysters are reasonably priced, and I really enjoyed the combination with black caviar. You can choose to sit either inside or outside, and the place is usually quite busy. I wouldn’t call it a full restaurant, more like a cozy cafe.

We had a good time at Alonzo’s … just into Key West, walking the Key West Bight harbor area, watched the tarpon feeding out front, and viola, it’s happy hour! Cocktails good, oysters good, mussels a bit spicy but good. Staff friendly and great! Fun place to stop for a cocktail, time it for the 4:00pm tarpon feeding! Recommend Alonzo’s!

We stopped in at Alonzo's to take a break from the sun. Nicole was are bartender and made the best key lime pie martinis we've ever had. Bar/restaurant itself is classy, clean & comfortable. Happy to see gluten free options on the menu, we look forward to returning for food and cocktails. Cheers 🍸

Great oysters including the sides. Sean the server is beyond exceptional. But the selling point - the mussels I've never had mussles this good. Perfect spice, tomato base only without wine or overpowering other stuff.. I'm trying to buy the recipe from the waiter

Seafood restaurant
Nestled within the Ibis Bay Beach Resort, The Stoned Crab is a charming open-air seafood spot in Key West. It stands out as the only restaurant specializing in stone crab, receiving daily catches from its private fishing boats. Executive Chef Paul Menta crafts an array of delectable dishes such as Seafood Towers and Blackened Key West Shrimp & Grits. Housed in a historic building, the restaurant exudes old-world charm with contemporary elegance.
The Stoned Crab quickly became my go-to spot during my trip. I practically ate every meal here! The food is absolutely incredible, bursting with fresh flavors that keep you coming back for more. Every dish I tried was top-notch, and I couldn’t resist grabbing a slice of their legendary key lime pie to take back to my room each night for a late snack. The service was friendly and attentive, and the laid-back, coastal atmosphere made every visit feel like a true vacation experience. If you’re in the area, this is an absolute must visit. You won’t be disappointed!

Another fabulous dinner spot in the Keys! The Stoned Crab is such a fun experience — good food, good service, and a great view! I had the shrimp with a fresh salad, and my husband went with the shrimp and lobster fettuccine ~ both were delicious. The atmosphere is relaxed but lively ~ you can even feed the sharks while you wait for your food 🦈 It's a unique and memorable dining experience ~ definitely recommend! ➡️ Follow us on Socials for more detailed travel tips @Sweet_Southern_Living

Was going to go Outback. Seen this place and stopped because not a brand name place. Seated right away. The waitress didn't come up right away for drinks. Took drink and appetizer order. The appetizer came quickly, no forks or napkins on the table. Had to ask another waiter for these. Main food came, asked for extra butter. Waited more than 5 mins, and had to ask the other waiter again for butter. He responded right away. Looked like a nice place for great seafood. Got a crab combo bucket with the 1/2 Lobster tail. The food was bland tasting like cheap crab boils. Regular butter also. Garlic butter would have made a difference. Should have gone to Red Lobster.

Overall great experiences both days I went because the food was so good. I had the yellow and red snapper with fries one day and yellow rice the next day and both options were very tasty!!!

A&B Lobster House is a long-standing fine dining establishment in Key West, offering decadent dishes since 1947. The charming upscale steakhouse ambiance of the dining room is complemented by a wraparound balcony providing perfect marina views, making it an ideal spot to watch the sunset over the harbor. Customers can savor favorites like Caribbean lobster thermidor, grouper Oscar, and strip steak au poivre while embracing the slower-paced life.
**A and B Lobster Review** I recently dined at A and B Lobster, and it was an incredible experience! From the moment I walked in, I was struck by the warm and inviting atmosphere. The decor perfectly complements the coastal vibe, setting the stage for a fantastic seafood meal. The menu is a seafood lover's dream, with an impressive selection of lobster dishes that cater to every taste. My family and I were seated at and were served warm bread and butter. Let me tell you, the butter was piped in the letters of AB! I opted for the crab cakes served with green beans and potatoes, and it was absolutely delicious—lightly dressed with butter and served on a perfectly toasted bun. The side of garlic butter for dipping was a delightful touch! The freshness of the seafood was evident in every bite, and the portion sizes were generous, ensuring great value for the price. The staff was friendly and attentive, providing excellent service throughout the meal. They were knowledgeable about the menu and offered great recommendations, enhancing the overall dining experience. One of the highlights of my visit was the stunning view from the outdoor seating area, making it a perfect spot to enjoy a meal while taking in the scenery. Whether you're a local or just visiting, A and B Lobster is a must-try for anyone craving delicious seafood in a lovely setting. Overall, my experience at A and B Lobster was fantastic, and I can’t wait to return to explore more of their menu! Highly recommended!

AB Lobster in Key West is a must-visit for both the food and the setting. The view while dining is absolutely incredible—breathtaking scenery that makes the whole experience unforgettable. The food was excellent—fresh, flavorful, and perfectly prepared. The dessert was delicious and a sweet finish to the meal. The drinks, however, were a bit of a letdown compared to everything else, especially given how high-quality the food was. Still, the overall experience was wonderful. Between the fantastic seafood and one of the best views in Key West, I’d happily return to AB Lobster for the food and scenery alone.

Everything was absolutely delicious. Our service was amazing. Michael won us all over with his suggestions and as I was torn between the lobster and the scallops he made it happen that I got both. The espresso martinis were on point in the old-fashioned which is their house drink was fabulous. The creme brulee was outstanding and the key lime pie was the best we have had so far. I highly recommend this restaurant if you are here!! Thank you Michael 😊

Absolutely phenomenal! We had the absolute BEST time eating here during our family vacation. We started with the Oysters, which were so delicious. We each got a mixture of food and tried little bits of each, between the Tuna Steak, Alaskan King Crab Legs, Surf & Turf, and more.... Every single dish was perfectly cooked and plated. The staff was also just as pleasant as the food and are very attentive as well. Im also obsessed with the old-school type bar/bathroom in this place as well. Its a Key West GEM!

I had an amazing dining experience here. I ordered the filet mignon and a truffle risotto, and both were absolutely delicious — perfectly cooked and beautifully presented. The meal started with warm bread and butter shaped with the restaurant’s initials, such a thoughtful detail. We sat in the outdoor seating area, which was lovely and made the evening even more enjoyable. I also tried the Espresso Martini, which was excellent and tasted like a coffee dessert.

We were Key West two weeks ago celebrating our 35 Wedding Anniversary. My husband made reservations at another restaurant, I wanted to be surprised. We got to the other place and we're VERY disappointed by just the atmosphere when we walked in. We had asked our concierge to recommend a really nice place for this special evening. We wanted three things for sure. Lobster and steak, Lobster Bisque, and a view of the water. We got there and NO table with a view. The menu came and it had NO Lobster anywhere on the menu. We left.. Pretty upset because it's our anniversary. But the concierge there(it was at a hotel)helped us and we found an even better place! We ended up at A & B Lobster House and let me tell you from the second we walked in we were extremely impressed! Greeted immediately!! The whole vibe was amazing! Great atmosphere! They had our reservation and we were facing the water at Sunset! Amazing! We were quickly greeted by Nicholas who would be our server for the evening!! Fantastic customer service! Polite, funny, and ok new the menu perfectly! Our meal started with the Lobster Bisque, divine! I had a martini and my husband had their special Old Fashioned both did not disappoint! For our main course I had the Grouper and he had the Steak and Lobster both were cooked perfectly and we ate every bite. Nicholas checked on us several times throughout the meal and took a very nice photo for our Anniversary! Then he surprised us with a special dessert of their in house homemade Key Lime Pie!! Soooo good! Overall and absolutely amazing experience and they really made our Anniversary dinner so special! Highly recommend!!2

So make a reservation like a week before. That’s key to get in here and get sat. We had an great server who looked exactly like Julia Roberts. She was amazing!! We sat on the balcony over looking the marina, where they were feeding the huge tarpons. For the appetizer we had a king crab, crab cake. Holy moly was that packed with crab. We had some cocktails with the appetizer. Tito’s n soda and my girl had a mojito. Both were bangin. The main courses were the surf n turf awesome! My girl had a fat spiny lobster tail! Both were great. Dinner was pricey, $280 with a tip but it was really worth it.

Spent some time in Key West over the weekend and stopped in for dinner. Ambience was unique and the food was incredible. Between my wife, my daughter and I, we ordered the chili, bacon wrapped scallops, grouper, Szechuan beef noodles, and fried bananas with ice cream. Every dish was outstanding but what stood out was the managements accommodations. When we arrive we were seated inside with a few other customers enjoying their meals. Unfortunately our 3yr old daughter was being a bit loud/rambunctious leaving me to take her outside a few times to avoid ruining the other patrons meals. While outside, a gentleman who I believe was the owner, asked if an outside table would help us. We agreed it would and he immediately sprung into action rearranging the outdoor furniture for us. He also brought out a few of his “action figure” rubber duckies for my daughter to play with. Above and beyond!! Highly recommend not only for the extraordinarily good food, but the top notch service.

There are not enough stars in the sky (or on the internet) to give to this restaurant so, sadly, I must award them only five stars. My spouse and I ate at this restaurant 2 years ago on our last trip to KW so when we came back and experienced the same level of hospitality and delicious food to say I was delighted was an understatement. Brian and the rest of the staff are the real gems here. If you want a mix of genuine humanity and humor then please make a reservation for this KW original. The ambiance, decor, and cuisine are not to be missed either. (I strongly recommend the bacon wrapped scallops.) With so many restaurants to choose from on the island I hope you will stop by and experience what the staff works so hard to offer; good food and great atmosphere. Thanks again for another great night and making our anniversary dinner one to remember!

We had dinner here on a weekday night in November. Our server Ryan immediately made us feel right at home. Super friendly and very accommodating. My wife had the spinach salad custom made to her preference, and without our even having to ask, he had the kitchen split the salad that I shared with her brother. The menu is very creative with lots of choices. The grilled shrimp starter came with six grilled shrimp and was enough for a dinner portion. The entree trio was amazing--filet mignon with blue cheese butter, three grilled shrimp, and lobster Mac and cheese, with a heaping portion of mashed potatoes. An absolutely amazing dish. The filet mignon was so tender and tasty. One of the best I've had. While there are no cocktails, the beer and wine selection is extensive. Lots of interesting desserts. We chose spicy quesadillas with chocolate sauce and a dish of vanilla ice cream on the side. Very tasty. All our food was expertly prepared, fresh and delicious. Service was superb, and the ambiance was very nice. The restaurant is relatively small inside. Perfect for a romantic dinner, special occasion or just a relaxing evening. We will definitely return the next time we vacation in the area. If you want a terrific dining experience, this restaurant is the place to go.

Not sure what all the hype is about or why this place shows up as a 5 star restaurant. The appetizers & dessert were good, but that’s where it stops. The fish was overcooked and the banana/pepper topping tasted like it came out of a can. The worst part: during dinner a lady walks in with a dog & has a seat at the bar. Not just her, the dog too - sitting in a chair at the bar. When we asked our waiter about it, he said well behaved dogs were allowed in the restaurant. I could understand if it was a service dog sitting quietly on the floor, but this dog was actively barking and sitting in a chair! As a restaurant owner this violates so many health code violations and is in no way acceptable.

Located on Whitehead Street in Key West, Moondog Cafe is a charming garden cottage that offers separate menus for breakfast or lunch & dinner, as well as drinks. The pastel-hued cafe and bakery is known for its delicious baked goods and healthy options, making it a popular spot for breakfast.
Moondog Café is an absolute must-visit in Key West! The breakfast skillet was out of this world—fresh veggies, savory sausage, crispy potatoes, and perfectly cooked sunny-side-up eggs. The peach Bellini was perfectly crafted, and the key lime sangria paired beautifully with their famous Mile High Key Lime Pie. The meringue on top was the perfect balance to the tartness of the key lime—pure perfection. We sat at the bar and got to watch the team make all their pastries and desserts from scratch—such a cool experience! This place is incredible. We’ll definitely be back!

We decided on Moondog Cafe for our breakfast while docked in Key West for the day. We are happy with our decision. Key West has so many great places to eat and Moondog came highly recommended after doing some research. We got off the ship early and walked straight there because I did see that it can get very crowded. We got to the front door about 8 am and wasn’t crowded yet fortunately. We were seated at a nice cozy table for my wife and I right by the window. Service was very good. Food was wonderful. There is a large mural painted on the wall that is very unique. I highly recommend Moondog Cafe if you’re in Key West.

Hi Off the Hook Grill, I went on a busy Thursday evening and chose to sit at the bar since there wasn’t any table seating’s available. I felt weird at the bar due to not knowing anyone at the bar. It seems like Key West locals come to the bar a lot. I couldn’t enjoy my meal when there was a lady screaming and talking so loud at the bar. I guess I should have waited to get a table instead of having to deal with a lady being disrespectful. The staffs were super friendly and gave us good options on what meal to choose from if we couldn’t decide. I ended choosing the Ahi Tuna BLT Burger. I thought my burger was really delicious! The Lobster Mac and Cheese was alright. I wish the flavor was better. Maybe my tastebuds were off that day. Overall, if I’m ever in Key West I would highly try his place. Their food is good and came out quick! The staff here are highly knowledgeable about the restaurant!

Presentation! Presentation! Presentation! If we were rating on presentation the score would be a 5 for sure! The Tuna Poke appetizer and key lime ice cream sandwich were 5 stars all day long! The ambiance outside was very nice. Service was great. The live music was an added bonus! The meals however were just 3 star and we felt this is what most people would want us to rate. My husband got the turkey goblet dinner and although the turkey was nicely cooked, the dressing waffle was dry and overcooked. Dressing is a staple for this dish and although the waffle was an artsy idea for an artsy town, it just doesn’t work for this dish. The lobster Mac & cheese had lots of shrimp and lobster but the noodles were mushy. (I think They may have been home-made which deserves extra kudos) but unfortunately you can’t have Mac & cheese without the Mac! Overall Off The Hook had enough highlights that we would return and give it a second try!

Cafe Marquesa is a charming and upscale restaurant located just off Duval Street in Key West's historic district. Despite its central location, the restaurant offers a serene atmosphere with a lush garden providing privacy from the bustling tourist area. The 50-seat interior exudes simplicity and elegance, perfectly complementing the menu of reinvented classic dishes that offer a familiar yet unique dining experience. The starters, including shrimp and grits with andouille sausage and country ham, are highly recommended.
Phenomenal experience at Cafe Marquesa. Excellent service and the food was outstanding as well. Our server, Wilson, made it a very memorable experience as it was our first time dining here. We will be back next year! Highly recommend the tuna tartare small plate and the dessert trio!

TLDR: Dinner amazing, delicious and totally worth it! Breakfast, very average and disappointing. We ate at Café Marquesa twice while staying at the hotel Marquesa. The 1st time was for dinner and we very much enjoyed our experience. Service was friendly, we didn’t have to wait long for our drinks and food, the plating was very pretty, the restaurant setting is intimate and charming but most importantly, everything we ate and drank was delicious. They even accommodated my special request on one of the dishes. Also, they definitely have one of the best key lime pies in Key West. Unfortunately our 2nd meal was not nearly as pleasant. We went for breakfast on our last day, wanting to keep the “best for last” since our expectations coming off our previous dinner was quite high, but we were disappointed. The service was not as welcoming, the food was very average compared to their dinner plates that showed creativity and excellent execution. They also don’t even have fresh pressed orange juice or fruits. Overall the dinner deserves 5* and since I think everyone should eat here I am going to give 5* on Google but the breakfast truly deserves a 3*. That being said, if you are in key west, you must book your dinner here, you will not regret it!

This was our first time at Cafe Marquesa and will be honest was the best meal/experience ive had in key west so far. We started out with the special which was caviar an let me tell you it was delicious. I had the tuna tartar an it was out of this world. The yellowtail snapper and triple tail fish was beyond amazing. The staff and chefs were amazing and 100% recommend coming back again and again. I could go on for days on how amazing this place was.

Every trip to Key West couldn't possibly feel complete without dinner at Cafe Marquesa. We love this restaurant and consider it one of the best on the island. Our server Stephanie was excellent, highly attentive and professional. And of course the cuisine is always expertly crafted and plated delectable. We had dinner here to celebrate my birthday, and everyone took such good care of us, highly recommended! Can't wait to return again,

Stopped in for a quick bite. My wife needs a GF menu and they had some amazing dishes. We got the Non-wings (tofu} and truffle fries. Hit the spot. Great service and fun staff.

Fine Dining That Delivers—Without the Fuss or the Foam If you’re wandering through Key West wondering whether true fine dining exists somewhere between flip-flops and frozen daiquiris; it does, and this is the place. The menu is beautifully balanced, clearly crafted by someone who respects both flavor and Florida’s unrelenting heat. I started with the hot and cold foie gras, and honestly, it was a beautiful surprise. The pear element? Game-changer. Sweet, elegant, and the perfect contrast. Who knew summer heat and foie gras could get along so well? I followed it with the pan-seared potato gnocchi, which had just the right mix of pillowy comfort and crispy edges, and the prime beef carpaccio, thin, tender, and full of flavor. For my main, I chose the swordfish, which was fresh, light, and perfectly cooked, basically, the culinary equivalent of a chilled linen shirt on a 90-degree day. No heaviness, just flavor and finesse. Service was attentive but relaxed (Key West style), and the setting matches the food: elevated, but not trying too hard. You’ll feel fancy, but you won’t need to fake an accent. Highly recommend, especially if you're tired of deep-fried everything and just want a real meal that reminds you why dining out can still feel special.

The best scallops I’ve ever tasted—perfectly prepared and served in a bright citrus beurre blanc sauce infused with rosemary. Highly recommend you check them out!

Our waiter, Wilson, was excellent. His knowledge & description of the food & cocktails was extremely helpful. He was attentive & the spacing between each course was perfect. The food (tuna tartar, craywfish & pasta, the black grouper, swordfish & dessert sampler) was excellent, as were the cocktails. This restaurant is our favorite in Key West; best food on the island. We will definitely eat at this restaurant again when we return & we'll be telling our friends about this place.

Dante's Pool Bar and Grill is a fantastic spot for both partying and relaxing! On weekends, enjoy a lively atmosphere with a live DJ, great drinks, and tasty food by the large pool. During weekdays, it’s a family-friendly place to chill. The pool area has free lounge chairs for sunbathing, shaded spots, two bars, and plenty of tables for dining. Conveniently, there’s a parking garage right next door on Grinnel St for $5/hour. Highly recommend!

If you're in Key West and looking for a place to get out of the heat and humidity, Dante's is a solid option. We went and there was no cover fee to get in, though locals mentioned that during busier seasons or for events, a charge can sometimes apply. My advice would be to arrive when they first open so you can secure a lounger, as it can get pretty packed out. Dante's features a large pool in the center of the area. There's a sailfish water fountain and a waterfall that goes over rocks in the background. While there is a good amount of seating, much of it with shade, getting there early is key to getting a good spot, especially during busier times. It's a good setup for relaxing and staying cool. The food we ordered was good. We tried the Bang Bang Shrimp, the Ceviche, and the Conch Fritters. Our waitress was Lexi, and she was very busy, running drinks to everyone and keeping up with orders throughout our visit. She clearly worked hard to make sure guests had their food and drinks. They had a DJ playing music, and the restrooms, located upstairs, were clean. If the heat and humidity in Key West are getting to you, Dante's provides a comfortable place to spend some time and stay cool.

Dante’s was incredible! We brought in the fish we caught on the Cora Beth fishing tour and for only $12.50 per person they cooked it up—half fried and half blackened. Hands down the best fish I’ve ever had, and the blackened seasoning was out of this world. Huge compliments to the chef! The poolside atmosphere made it even better—laid back, fun, and perfect for enjoying fresh fish in Key West. We’ll definitely be back soon!

This place was super fun! Waitress was very rude, though. I sat my things down by the pool and instead of “Welcome in! I’ll be your server.” It was immediately “you have to start a tab to sit here”- literally no hello or anything just attitude right off the bat. Decided to give her the benefit of the doubt, maybe she was having a bad day. Will give them another try, but hope the service is better next time.

It's July in Key West, which means its hot, like hot hot. We stayed on Duval so we walked everywhere in the sun, yikes. My daughter is the one who discovered Dante's and suggested we go there and enjoy the pool. Upon walking in to Dante's, it immediately felt like a oasis in the middle of all the surrounding concrete and buildings. There is no cover charge or entry fee to visit Dante's. All you need to do is just enjoy some libations munchies from the bar area. The pool is filled with crystal clear water and is so inviting, and there are cascading waterfalls flowing over a series of cliffs right into the pool, creating a tropical backdrop. The entire oasis is surrounded by Tiki bars, chaise lounges, and lounge dining with umbrellas overhead to keep you cool while eating and drinking. The moment we sat, a very friendly server came over and took our drink orders, there were so many to choose from. The drinks and eats: We went for Key West Lemonade(vodka & pink lemonade) and the Poolside Daydream(mango, coconut, pineapple, guava, rums, mixed with tropical fruit juices). Both of the drinks were delicious and refreshing, but the Poolside Daydream, really hit the spot (several times, lol). For the eats, we had hot pretzel bites, super nachos, and the chicken tenders. Your typical bar fare, but very good and satisfying. We stayed for a few hours, enjoying the pool, floating games, having some drink and eats, and just chilling and relaxing at the oasis we call Dante's.

We took our freshly caught mahi mahi to Dante's and they prepared it for us. The fish was perfect as well as the coleslaw and fries. Our waitress was wonderful and did a great job taking care of us. We had such a wonderful experience and I would highly recommend Dante's to everyone.

Beautiful pool and atmosphere. You can walk up or park a boat. There are multiple bars and tables that surround the pool. Menu had a variety of choices. The Cobb salad was very large and had a good amount of everything in it. The key lime marinated chicken sandwich was good but nothing special, fries were a little over cook and soggy. Service was sub par however it was busy. They do check id's and bag on arrival which made it feel safe considering anyone can just park a boat and walk up. They had a dj which made this spot the place to be yesterday afternoon.

My wife and I visited Goldman’s Deli for Mother’s Day weekend and we had an amazing breakfast! The pastrami and egg bagel is everything!!! And OMG! I can’t say enough about the double chocolate chip and lemon cookies 😋But aside from the delicious entrees served at this establishment, their customer service was Top Notch! Even though we didn’t get to engage with all of the servers, several passed by to make sure we were good. Jeremy in particular was outstanding! He was warm, inviting and funny! My wife and I strongly recommend having breakfast and or lunch at Goldman‘s but if you wanna add some laughter to your visit, ask for Jeremy. He’ll make your experience that much more delightful. Thanks Jeremy. We had a fantastic time while in Key West and you were an intricate part in our stay!

AMAZING food! Cute little restaurant, obviously very popular. We walked in and were seated right away. It was busy when we were in there so we were sort of cramped into a corner table. They have lots fresh baked goodies, breads, bagels, etc. Sandwiches, breakfasts, and other meals. We were a party of 3 and everyone was very satisfied with their food! The staff were friendly enough, though I did see the cashier accidently drop a plastic-wrapped piece of banana bread on the floor and another staff member picked it up and put it back on the shelf, they looked at each other, shrugged and went about their work. I mean, it was wrapped, but still gave me the sense that they might be a little too lenient about food sanitation. Otherwise, the place was clean, simple, and affordable, with healthy options on the menu!!

It was busy, which is ok, we’re here on vacation. But “throwing” the plates on the table, having your thumb in my bagel and snapping back at me for asking something isn’t right at all. The bagels were good as expected but everything else was mediocre at best. Unfortunately, for us it was very disappointing. Coffee was good though. The latkes they serve are not what I grew up with, chopped liver…well more liver than eggs and onions would be nice, specifically asked for “no salami” and the wrap still came with a load of it, extra capers and onion on my bagel…didn’t get it, for the side order we had to ask again. No thank you very much!

Goldman’s Deli in Key West is the real deal! The pastrami here is absolutely amazing -- tender, flavorful, and piled high just the way it should be. Their matzo ball soup is also on point, comforting and full of flavor, exactly what you’d hope for from a classic deli. The atmosphere feels authentic and welcoming, and you can tell they put care into everything they serve. Easily one of my favorite spots in Key West when I’m craving true deli comfort food. Highly recommend!

If you're in Key West, make sure to swing by Pescado, a delightful mobile eatery that brings together the best of American and Mexican seafood cuisine. Nestled at the Truman & White Chevron gas station, this vibrant food truck is known for its mouthwatering offerings like fish tacos and fried shrimp. The menu features a variety of fresh dishes including ceviche, chorizo burgers, and red snapper that are perfect for those on-the-go cravings.
Love this truck! I asked the shrimp basket with grilled and blackened not with fried shrimp. First time I tried pink shrimp,it was so juicy and flavorful! Grilled perfectly! My son had a burger finish it in 2 seconds. Friendly,fast service!

Delicious and very good food at this food truck located beside the Chevron gas station on the corner of Truman Ave and White St! The fish burrito was amazing and the house salad was excellent! French fries were hot and very good! Many different options to choose from including breakfast items as well! Open everyday except Sunday. Service was great and really fast! Open late into the evening. Plenty of outdoor seating available! Staff was very friendly and helpful! I recommend trying this place out if you’re looking for a great bite to eat between New Town and Old Town Key West! You will love it!

We visited Pescado while in Keywest. We searched for a good lunch spot and Pescado popped up. The not so great: Nothing wrong here, no complaints. The just ok: The fish wrap was ok, not bad, but not a knock out. The shrimp quesadilla was good, not lacking shrimp like many other places, but had SOOOOO much cheese...too much for us at least. The great: The service of the staff at the windows when we ordered was awesome. They were friendly and helpful. Will come back when visiting Keywest and ask for less cheese next time.
