The 30 best spots for appetizers in Islamorada

Franny was absolutely fantastic! She provided top-notch service with attention to detail that truly made our dining experience special. From the moment we were seated, Franny was attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable about the menu. She offered excellent recommendations and ensured our glasses were always full. We can't wait to return and request Franny as our server again. Five stars aren't enough – we'd give her ten stars if we could! Highly recommend!"

Morada Bay is amazing! The food was incredibly delicious, fresh, and full of flavor. Our server, Camelot, was so friendly and attentive. The setting is absolutely beautiful — you’re eating right on the sand with stunning water views, and the sunset is incredible. It’s also very kid-friendly, with plenty of space for little ones to play in the sand while you enjoy your meal. More than just dinner, it’s an experience you won’t forget. A must visit!

What a delightful find through Google search! The taste of the plantains and fresh grilled shrimp was absolutely outstanding — perfectly seasoned and cooked to perfection. The ambience was relaxing, perfect for unwinding after a long drive from Marco Island. To top it off, the scenery was beautiful; what a peaceful escape. And the best part? The prices were just right for the quality and setting. Highly recommend! A perfect start to our Key West get away!

Morada Bay Beach Cafe was the perfect birthday dinner to end our stay in the keys. Not only was the atmosphere stunning right on the bay, we were lucky to see a beautiful sunset as well. The food was impeccable! I had the yellow tail and it was seriously the best seafood meal I’ve had. Our experience was made even better by the amazing service. Kellesh, our server, went above and beyond to ensure my mom had the best birthday dinner. She was attentive, accommodating, funny, and so kind. Thank you to everyone at Morada Bay. Can’t wait to come back soon!

Beautiful place right on the beach. Have a bite, have a drink, and stay to watch the sunset. Service was great. Food was pretty good. Atmosphere was wonderful. Dinner was about $30/pp but we weren’t drinking so add more if you are.

Gorgeous day, best view too. Taco Tuesday tacos were fantastic. Margaritas also good. It’s my sister in law’s birthday and or waitress Amanda went above and beyond. Not just great service but super thoughtful bringing a big slice of their fabulous cheesecake to her with Happy Birthday on the plate.

An unforgettable experience. Ali provided amazing service from start to finish. The sunset view was incredible, and the whole yellowtail snapper was the best I’ve ever had. Relaxed atmosphere and flawless service! We’ll definitely be back

The food was mediocre I thought. The lobster nor the steak had much flavor. My wife said her fish tacos were really good. The staff was friendly. It was outside dining and the flies were bad. The view was amazing. We all thought it would be a great place to go back and have drinks with friends. Not a dinner destination that we would return to.

Did dinner here on vacation. Our 2nd time dining here and highly recommend. They had a lobster special where it was fried and accompanied by a mango salsa. Yum. Macaroni and cheese was a bit plain but delicious (you can add pulled pork, lobster, shrimp or bacon and jalapeño for an upcharge.

We checked out this place recently and we enjoyed it. Our waitress was Amy and she was very nice and efficient. I got the burger/fries ($20.45) and my wife got the fish tacos ($18.95). My burger was wonderful and so were the fries. My wife said that fish tacos lacked flavor. The view was nice and parking was easy.

View at sunset is magical 😍 Now about the food! Disappointing lobster. Waitress had difficulties with separating the bill. Also waitress added 20% tip for party of 8. That was fine but she was disappointed that we didn't tip more. She actually came out and asked what she did wrong. Not good. So watch your bill for sure.

Great little place tucked away, right on the water in Islemorada. Not quite in the hidden gem genre, but most certainly an off the beaten path stop if you're on your way to Key West. Right on the water, all tables offer a great view. Service is friendly and courteous. Food and drinks are all excellent. Definitely a recommended stop.

Food was fantastic! My husband had the blackened snapper and I had the coconut shrimp. The service was great and the view was even better! Definitely a dining highlight to our trip

The perfect “Keys” vibe. Beautiful waterfront setting for sunset views. Bar feels like something from a Jimmy Buffet song. Bartender was amazing: friendly, moving a hundred miles an hour and fun to watch. And it wasn’t even busy. Conch fritters were perfectly done and our fish was also fresh and nicely prepared. This isn’t fine dining, but delicious and such a fun setting. My girlfriend (in her 50’s) grew up coming here and it was so great to see nothing has really changed since she was a kid. Places like this are what make the Keys so special and unique. May they be here another 50 years!

First off, VERY clean place. Good prices. They have a fancy side and. Very nice chill bar with plenty of TVs. The bar tend Rob was great. The food was excellwnt, fresh fish and really good bbq. Try the turtle twinkies (bacon qrapped, jalapeño stuffed with cheese and brisket).

We had an incredible breakfast at The Green Turtle Inn! The crab omelette was absolutely phenomenal—perfectly fluffy and packed with sweet, fresh crabmeat. Every bite was rich and flavorful, and it was easily one of the best omelettes I’ve ever had. What made the experience even better was our waitress, Stephanie. She was friendly, attentive, and gave us great recommendations. Her upbeat attitude and top-notch service made us feel truly welcome from the moment we walked in. If you’re in the Keys and looking for a breakfast spot that delivers both great food and genuine hospitality, The Green Turtle is it. Don’t miss the crab omelette—and ask for Stephanie!

Friendly and welcoming staff. We sat at the bar and had Key Limecolda and a IPA. We watch Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives so we had to try the meatloaf just as he did. It did not disappoint wow. We also had some mussels. Can’t wait to come back down and stop by again

I just stopped in here for a much needed water and the bartender was really nice and understanding. She was wearing a gold chain and I told her I would tip her and she said I didn't have to but I gave her a few dollars anyway. The place looked super nice with 2 bars. Plenty of seating. I definitely Thought thecoming back to eat after seeing how nice it was inside but didn't get a chance to. Would definitely like to if I ever make it back down to the Keys! Thank you to the bartender for being so nice and understanding!

I was oversold this restaurant by alot. We arrived late for our reservation of 8 due to an accident on the road. We called to let them know but apparently we were one of many patrons also late so when we arrived the hostess was cold and irritable. We were seated at a nice table and our server was attentive. We ordered the lamb appetizer which was a hit at the table and also the turtle soup which was not much for flavor or imagination. The table ordered several prime ribs and the accolades from our group were great based mostly on size. The prices definitely reflect that though. I ordered hogfish piccata and honestly, it didn’t taste fresh enough, the piccata sauce was slimy and I scraped it off, the carrots and asparagus had no asparagus and the carrots were cold and hard. Mostly our group was delighted and happy with food, service and atmosphere. I felt it to be classic yet dated, overpriced for the quality but the service made up for most inequities. It was our friend’s 60th and they graciously offered cake with candles made it feel festive. I felt our bill to far exceed the quality and atmosphere but I also appreciated the classic keys experience.

We have wanted to come here (honestly) for thirty years; we pass it every year as we drive up and down US-1. We stopped for dinner yesterday for the first time - it was 100% worth the wait! We had cocktails and appetisers at the bar, and sat in the restaurant for wine and dinner. My wife had (the recommended) pork chop, and I had “Guy’s favourite” meatloaf; both were delicious. Nice atmosphere and great service (thank you, Angela). We won’t wait 30 years for our next visit!

I owe Green Turtle Inn an apology…I was sooo wrong! I’ve been going to the keys since I was old enough to drive(I’m 61yrs now) and have passed by GTI a thousand times. I’ve never stopped because I’ve always thought or had been told it was a dive. I was sooo WRONG!!! A friend of mine who lives in the keys strongly suggested we eat there - we did, and we LOVED it! So much so that we back the next morning for breakfast-loved that too! I AM SORRY! Now, we can’t wait to return to the keys just to be able to stop in at GTI - now one of my favorite restaurants in the keys! Btw, the service for both dinner and breakfast was phenomenal, as was the food! I’m sorry and thank you! Also, congrats on your many years of serving the Keys. **dinner not pictured-was enjoying the pork chop way too much to take photos

Sushi was absolutely amazing!! Some of the best sushi I’ve ever had to be honest. The only negative thing I’d have to say is the service was definitely lacking. We waited almost an hour for our check after we were finished eating. Honestly disappointing since it was such a positive experience until that point.

Went to Kaiyo last night while working nearby. The Tuna Nachos were awesome! I had the Coco Loco and it was delicious. Lots of folks there and it took 20 minutes to get some more water after the bottle was taken away but overall a great place. A premium place with a Premium price.

Sushi menu has many tasty options and some interesting twists to certain rolls. The coco loco is one in particular. Make a reservation if possible. It gets very busy especially in the evening depending on the season. There was a party of six who was drunk and very loud and inconsiderate but once they ate and settled down the atmosphere was more peaceful. Staff was on them though and manger the table well. Our server Dave was very kind and knew the menu well. The manger walked around and was also very friendly. They have a bar and high tops when you walk in to the left of you want drinks or to sit at a high table.

Great dinner with family! Staff is friendly and attentive. Food is delicious. I recommend to try the different sushi rolls available. The stir fry rice is amazing.

My husband and I love sushi so we decided to try Kaiyo Grill for happy hour. My husband ordered the Best Crunchy and I ordered the B-28. They are both excellent rolls and very fresh. The Millers...

We’ve heard such a great raves from the locals about this place. And they were not wrong! This is one of the best places to eat at while in the area. We sat at the bar, our waitress was amazing! Gave us great suggestions based on what we like and the food was top notch! Loved the atmosphere by the bar. Definitely coming back when I’m in town! I’d highly recommend this to anyone passing by or staying in the area!

They cooked the lobster we bought to perfection. The eggplant chips were interesting spiced and .tummy. Service was attentive but not overwhelming. A perfect dining experience perfect.

The food was absolutely amazing! The lobster was cooked to perfection and the yellowtail snapper was spot on. The vegetables were fresh and flavorful, and the macaroni with bacon was a standout side. We finished with a craft cocktail and the most incredible bread pudding—so good we could hardly walk out of there. Everything from start to finish was outstanding. We will definitely be back! It is expensive but tasty.

I love this place. Always good vibes, service, and delicious food. Brunch is my favorite. The pork hash and the chicken and waffles are so yummy it’s making my mouth water thinking about it. The empanadas upstairs are also a hit whenever we stop in. The corn dip too. For dinner my go to is usually the Asian marinated skirt steak- never lead me wrong. Their fish specials can be delicious too, I always am looking for a repeat of their fish special with a tomato cream sauce omg it was the best. Great people and good food, can’t go wrong! Edit: ALSO their FRIES AND AIOLI sauce!! It’s too good

This place was recommended to us 3 different times so there were some high expectations. The best thing we ate was the brownie. We sat at the bar & our bartender/server Chris was very knowledgeable about the menu & making recommendations. Definitely not bad but we walked away not understanding all the hype.

I can see why it’s everyone’s favorite place. Absolutely wonderful staff, food, ambiance, location, and lighting. Matthew was a wonderful server and accommodated my request to switch tables since the condensation was dripping on me. The manager, Bruce , came to our table to make sure we were fine with moving for my comfort. Such attention to detail and looking out for the customer’s comfort. The red pepper bisque was great. A little salty for my personal preference, but still delicious. Grouper sandwich was delicious, thick, and perfectly cooked. My husband loved his meal as well. The blue cheese on the sliders were a perfect combination. We will definitely return, and tell everyone to come here. It’s located within a marina, but you will feel absolutely comfortable inside.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Absolutely incredible dining experience at Square Grouper in Islamorada! Located right on the marina, this spot offers stunning waterfront views and that perfect laid-back Keys vibe. The chicken cutlet dinner was hands-down one of the best we’ve ever had — perfectly crispy on the outside, juicy inside, and the mashed potatoes were the perfect pairing. The Grouper Bites appetizer was unreal — fresh, flavorful, and cooked to perfection. And the portobello pasta with key lime butter sauce was simply fire — rich yet light, bursting with tropical flavor! The service was top-notch — super attentive and genuinely friendly, making the whole experience even better. Thank you Megan 🙏☀️🙌 Compliments to the chef for an outstanding meal! 🔥 5+ stars — highly recommend this gem to anyone visiting Islamorada!

1. AMAZING food. We had the tuna and avocado egg rolls, the butterfly Yellowtail and cashew salad. For dessert we had the bread pudding. Food was absolutely decadent and delicious. 2. Love the environment, the outdoor patio with the lights and the breeze off of the ocean felt amazing. 3. The service!! From the front desk hostesses to our waiter, Matthew, the service was impeccable. We will be back!

The food is AMAZING!! Great food, a great waitress/bartender Emily, and fabulous desserts!! The golden tile fish was so tasty and fresh, the desserts were decadent and plate-licking delicious!!! (I didn't but I really considered it!! 😂) The Venetian vanilla ice cream was phenomenal!! The Key Lime Pie was amazing and the crust had this hint of cinnamon (possibly) that made is so scrumptious 😋!! Short and sweet: Go here, it's fabulous!!! Arrive at 5 pm or you'll be waiting!! Also, not too much parking so you may have to park on the street, but it's sooo worth it.

Came to visit for a special celebration and it did not disappoint. The food was tasty, although it is not the absolute best seafood we’ve ever eaten. We ordered the fried coconut tacos, the fish tacos, the fried fish, the blackened catch of the day and the world famous fish sandwich. Service was impecable, the lady was extremely nice and caring. Would come back for another special day.

We talked to Jill to set up having a small wedding at their place and it ended up being absolutely perfect. They had setup everything beautifully with the help of the family for decorations and it rained horribly but then Jill wennys, Jamie, and Marissa all came together to swap tables and linens around for us . The rain passed and we ended up having the most beautiful sunset wedding. Food was great and the bartender was super sweet and great memory. We were very well taken care of and it was a very pleasant time, that my family and I will remember! For us girls we had the bridal suite for the day with lovely mimosas and pastries. I can't be more grateful for everything. Thank you guys for making our day special!

I started with the smoked wahoo dip which was absolutely fantastic. At first sight I wasn’t sure about the cucumber slices but they were fresh, flavorful and very tender. I recommend using the cucumber like a cracker but give it a generous squeeze of lemon juice first. It’ll change your life! They had a special that day for whole Red Snapper with fries and slaw. The fish was amazing! Seasoned wonderfully and cooked to perfection. The tartar sauce was also very good. The fries were crisp on the outside and soft in the middle. The coleslaw, was a little dry and could have used some honey and maybe a squeeze a lime. Overall, this was a delicious meal. I felt guilty paying $60 for a one person lunch which is at least three times more than I would usually pay for a lunch. This was like a mini vacation for me and after my meal I sat for almost an hour just watching the fish in the lagoon and enjoying the view while I finished off two more glasses of Sprite.

If you are wondering where to go for a GREAT dinner, look no further than the Islamorada Fish Company. We arrived just before sunset and had a delicious meal with a gorgeous view. But what made the food and sunset even more spectacular was our server Rafael. When he first greeted us at our table, he treated us like family he hadn’t seen in a while. He was charismatic, friendly, and just so genuinely kind. We asked him for appetizer and meal recommendations, and he gave us his honest opinion of what he enjoys eating (not the most expensive items on the menu), and everything was spot on! We enjoyed the sampler, conch chowder (which he brought us lemon/lime/green hot sauce and told us to add it in for even better flavor), Fresh Local Catch (grouper) Portofino style, and the Blackened Shrimp and Scallop Pasta. Through the course of the meal we shared laughs and memories. It felt like we spent time with a friend we hadn’t seen in a while. We will be back to see Rafael, one of the best servers of all time!

Our wedding at Islamorada Fish Company was truly a dream come true. From the moment we arrived, the ocean breeze, breathtaking views, and peaceful sound of the waves created the most magical backdrop for our special day. It felt like something out of a movie — elegant, intimate, and filled with love. Jill and her team at IFC went above and beyond to make everything perfect. They were attentive, organized, and so genuinely kind, ensuring that every detail — from the BRIDAL SUITE to the ceremony setup to the reception flow — was exactly how we envisioned it. Their care and professionalism allowed us to be fully present and enjoy every beautiful moment together. Our guests couldn’t stop talking about the stunning ocean views and the unforgettable atmosphere. As the sun set over the water, surrounded by family and friends, it was everything we had ever dreamed of and more. We’ll cherish our memories at Islamorada Fish Company forever and would wholeheartedly recommend it to any couple looking for a breathtaking oceanfront venue in The Keys that truly captures the magic of love. —Chet & Barbara Darby 10/25/2025♥️

We had an absolutely amazing wedding here. Jill was a dream to work with as the wedding/ events manager! Her calmness and expertise lowered our anxiety through the whole wedding process. Jill and her staff can create a dream wedding with little to no time! As weddings budgets can blow out of proportion, Jill helped keep us on budget all while creating a stunning venue that created lasting memories for all who attended! Thank you Jill, Lexi, Marissa, Brandon and Islamorada Fish Co staff for an amazing wedding!

The food here is always great. Good place to stop if you're on your way to Key West. You have two seating options indoor or outdoor. The happy hour menu was outstanding, we ordered one of everything and it fed four people. 😀

Awesome little restaurant in Islamorada! We were recommended this place by a friend of ours and are so glad we stopped here. The breakfast was amazing and my son really liked the Chicken sandwich as well. We stayed in Marathon so we didn’t make it here until we left the keys. It was a little busy that day but well worth the wait. We had 7 people which was about the max for them but even larger parties they were able to split up and accommodate. I would definitely go back if we got the chance!

I loved everything about this place! The food was plentiful, well prepared and tasty! Big selection on the menu for both breakfast and lunch. I had a hard time choosing what to eat! Loved the tuna fish sandwich as it wasn’t drowning in mayonnaise. Burgers were great and so were the fries and coleslaw. I will be back again.

Was staying next door to Mangrove Mike's on vacation and saw it was well reviewed and decided to give it a shot. Food was excellent. Server had her rear end hanging out and a crop top on. Service was lack luster. Drinks sat empty and when refilled gave my husband water instead of sprite and refilled my diet coke with regular. We felt like an inconvenience though we really asked for nothing. Key lime pie pancakes were delicious as were the tater tots.

This is a great place for breakfast and lunch. Portions are big, so be prepared! The banana bread French toast is amazing as is the cinnamon roll version. Prices are comparable to most places in the Keys.

We had such a great experience, food was great, dishes were big and generous, the place was packed, and everyone seemed to have a good time! We loved it! Definitely will come back when close by

Mangrove Mike’s generously supported our group of 25 veterans during the Fish With A Hero event, a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. The service was exceptional, the food was well-prepared, and the coffee cups were consistently full. We extend our sincere gratitude to Mangrove Mike’s for their outstanding hospitality and for honoring our veterans with such care and respect.

This place was so good we came twice in the three days we stayed down here. They have a French toast sampler (that you can get gluten free) that was the best thing I’ve eaten for breakfast in a long time. And the omelettes. Stuffed to overflowing with your meats and cheeses. Not a huge place so make sure you plan some time to wait. But it was well worth it. Key lime pancakes the second time(also in a gluten free options) were bomb.

Food was ok, service took a little bit of time to seat us (around 20 minutes). Inside was relatively empty by time we were seated since it was late. Waitress was nice. Outside seating has great view onto bay, though we opted for indoor seating since it was ready sooner. None of the entrees were very good, all mediocre at best. Fun desserts, on oddly large plates. Probably wouldn’t come again.

Had a delicious lunch to end our trip to the Florida Keys and the Island Grill did not disappoint! The service was wonderful, the view was beautiful and the food was absolutely delicious! Highly recommend this restaurant if your stopping by in or out of the Keys! My family and I can't wait to go there again next time we are in the Keys.

This laid-back waterside restaurant boasts a fantastic atmosphere with a refreshing breeze, offering bar seating, indoor dining, and ample outdoor tables. Visited on a July weekday, it was quiet, and I was promptly greeted and seated. The restrooms were clean, and the venue was well-maintained. Drink enthusiasts will appreciate the extensive options at both the indoor and outdoor bars. I ordered the Thai coconut curry grouper, served with two filets and rice. The fish was perfectly cooked and authentically grouper. The rice was parboiled, though jasmine would have been preferable. The curry lacked spice and was somewhat bland. Overall, it was a pleasant experience with a great vibe. I’ll return to try another dish.

I don’t know how we slept on Island Grill for so long! Such a hidden gem! Service in general was great from the moment we walked in. Jessica- our waiter- was amazing and so welcoming. Our food was fresh and delish! We can’t wait to come back!

I'm so glad I found this place! The food was fresh and delicious, and the location was perfect! We sat in the 'open-air' dining area and were 5 feet from the water. Boats can dock just feet from the entrance. The staff were friendly and the place is dog friendly too. I recommended the lobster salad served over a tostado and the fish tacos.

I absolutely loved the tender steak sandwich — it was cooked perfectly and full of flavor! The homemade key lime pie was my favorite dessert here in Islamorada, hands down. Shane was the best server we’ve had on our trip — super attentive, friendly, and made our meal even better. Highly recommend!

Get the fried cheesecake and you will experience heaven! Nike is the best server I've ever had. He's such a fun spirit!

We came here to celebrate our 25th wedding anniversary and the experience couldn’t have been better. The food was delicious & the service was amazing! The sunset view & the property itself (Plantation style building with Moroccan decor) on was incredible. Shout out to the manager Rose, our waitress Margarita, the chef & hostess. Thank you for making our celebration so special. Looking forward to returning soon with the family. If you are looking for the perfect place to celebrate a special occasion this is it. Make your reservation, you will not regret it.

Pierre’s is where island charm meets upscale dining—with one of the best sunset views in all of the Florida Keys. The setting is absolutely dreamy: a colonial-style beach house surrounded by swaying palms, with cozy porch seating that lets you watch the sun melt into the water. The food? Elegant and inspired. We loved the tender lamb, perfectly cooked sea bass, and rich, flavorful sauces that brought every dish to life. Craft cocktails and wine pairings were spot on. Whether you’re celebrating something special or just want to feel like royalty for a night, Pierre’s delivers an unforgettable experience. Come for the view, stay for the flavor, and don’t forget to linger with a drink on the sand afterward.

I wanted to share our new happy hour menu. We are hoping to pair the best sunset spot with the best cocktail happy hour in Islamorada! Available at the Lounge at Pierre’s! Monday - Friday, 5-7pm. The Grignotines (on the lounge menu) are happy hour pricing always. Awesome opportunity to sample our menu!

Perfect sunset views and beautifully prepared seafood. The red snapper was crisp and flavorful, the foie gras rich and perfectly seared, and dessert was the perfect finish. Excellent ambiance right by the water, ideal for a relaxing, elegant evening.

Expensive! Really worth it if you can afford it. The food is delicious and well thought out. The service is attentive and very well trained and inviting. The restaurant is in a old house it seems and it's a very home-y atmosphere. Would love to go here again :)

We walked in by chance, hoping for a walk-in table seating. We were given an indoor seating , which was fine, since we had spent all day on the water. The interior was lovely with authentic antiques throughout. The service was impeccable. The food outstanding. Gabriella our server and restaurant Manager went above and beyond to make our dining experience something to remember. Included are a few pictures from our burrata salad, black grouper, and Keylime pie. The views were spectacular from the second floor. Although we were inside, we saw an amazing sunset. Highly recommend as a fine dining option in Islamorada.

HIDDEN GEM!!! The food was so good and the decor was so romantic. Me and my family had a tough few days at a hotel near by and needed good food. This place hit the spot instantly. We got a salad that tasted so fresh and smelled like a garden. I am originally from New York and was not expecting food like this. The chicken was amazing as well. I am not that big of a fan of mushrooms but I ate the whole plate. Amazing amazing. The chef was absolutely exquisite and I wish they had another location. YUM YUM YUM

Went on a Tuesday night and it was empty. The staff were friendly and quick. So quick she didn’t get us our appetizer. She forgot it completely. We did get our food and I opted for the grouper and it was delicious. My husband had the shrimp and grits and enjoyed it as well. No views though, so not much for ambience. Ice cold air conditioning indoors!

A great local place! The shack shrimp were delicious, and it wasn't as busy as neighboring restaurants that were on the water. Staff was friendly and everything was really clean.

We were on a family vacation and tried the Shrimp Shack after a suggestion from Capt Jake who took us offshore fishing. We took the Mahi we caught to the Shrimp Shack and they prepare the most delicious dishes you will find in the Keys. We actually came back a second night as well. They prepared the fish 7 or 8 different ways for us and each way was phenomenal. Not only was the fish good, the service was excellent. The food arrived quickly and we really felt taken care of…. like family. The restaurant is not crowded so there is no wait time. There was no water view but if you can get past that, you will have the best food around. We tried several other restaurants in the area but none were as good. The photo was just the first visit. The second visit we had the fish prepared completely different. Check out the portion of the menu labeled “Hook and Cook” for all of your options.

Always one of our favorites when we are in the Keys. We brought our own Mahi that we caught just hours before. They cooked some of it Contenental style and some Senator style, it was all delicious! Started with a seared Ahi tuna appetizer and a perfect margarita. Everyone we encountered working there were extremely friendly, polite, and in such a good mood, almost like they loved their jobs lol. That really makes a difference. We will be back soon!

Was recommend by a local, was featured on DDD. Really good shrimp fritters, shrimp tacos. Had a salad,was fresh and generous. Servers were friendly and knowledgeable. Worth stopping by

Great way to end our Islamorada vacation - amazing meal. My wife had the Shrimp & grits. I've never been a grits fan but her plate changed my opinion - absolutely amazing. I had Shrimp Jambalaya and really enjoyed. Fantastic service with people who really enjoy their customers.

Very overrated, we hade the cornch as appetizer, they were hard rubber and no taste. The shrimp basket (small portion) was better but far from 1lbs, pricey for 10-11 small shrimp! The young lady was nice

What a beautiful, relaxing, "Keysey" restaurant and tiki bar! A must visit! I was here to be DJ&MC for a destination wedding in Islamorada at the southern end of the property, which is a beautiful location for weddings & events, and I arrived early as I always do. I had lunch here. What I enjoyed most was the atmosphere, layout of the restaurant, views, vibe, etc. It was a Saturday, and there was also an enjoyable solo guitarist, Billy D, playing relaxing, soft rock throwbacks during lunch on a Saturday. The food was good, but service could've been much better and more attentive. Sometimes laid-back restaurants like this have similar issues. Still, I'd highly recommend you visit, and I'll definitely be back. It's a great not to be missed experience overall!

We stopped for lunch at Mark 88 in Islamorada, and everything exceeded expectations. The setting was stunning — right on the water with unbeatable views. The food was fresh, tasty, and beautifully presented, truly top class. Service was friendly and attentive without being overbearing. To top it off, there was live music that added the perfect laid-back vibe to our meal. Highly recommend for anyone passing through the Keys — this spot is a gem!

Our very favorite restaurant in The Keys...we always stop here at least once per visit. It is impossible to beat the atmosphere here...it's a true tropical paradise. The food is outstanding--perfectly seasoned and prepared, large portions and reasonably priced. The wait staff are consistently very attentive and extremely friendly. Fabulous cocktails, dog friendly, beautiful views.

We enjoyed a perfect sunset at this restaurant. Our dinner was wonderful. We started with the crab cake. Our table had the pasta florentine, which was delicious with rich flavor, The snapper curry which was full of flavor and texture as well as the catch of the day the hogfish which was coconut encrusted. Dinner and service and ambiance were wonderful. Gift shop and experience with the manager was terrible, which ended up completely ruining our experience here. first we had to track someone down to even check us out. We picked out a simple 100% cotton t shirt and was charged $69 when the sign clearly stated $35. We were able to get a refund but the management was not apologetic about the price or could even tell us what the actual price of the t shirt was. In my experience in the retail and restaurant industry, standard practice would be to offer your guest the shirt for the price listed on the sign. Another great practice would be to clearly mark or tell the total before charging a customer. I was absolutely shocked and stunned at the price. Apparently it is a new item and the manager isn’t even clear on what the price should be. I won’t be coming back due to this and the attitude of the manager and hostess. The hostess whom I noticed earlier when I went to the restroom was sitting on the stool by the front watching videos with sound on. Please do not sell items in your gift shop if you can’t tell your customer the price. To put in perspective the sign also stated a long sleeve hooded tshirt was $65 so having a short sleeve tshirt this price makes zero logical sense!

Best meal of our whole US-trip! At first my daughter was a bit sceptical due to the relatively low 4.2 star average but I insisted on the sea views and boy, did they deliver above and beyond! The food was absolutely delicious, rich in flavors, taste composure on point, the vegetarian sushi rolls brought a super interesting mushroom variation and the peal&eat shrimp was perfect 👌 all together really, REALLY excellent! Sitting right on the beach was perfect, live music played when we arrived and our waiter Rolando was present at the perfect time, thank you to the whole Marker 88 team, this is what hospitality should be like! When next in Florida, I will go to the Keys just to return here!

MARKER 88 IS AN AWSOME PLACE TO DINE OUT,I ordered a Hog Snapper sandwhich, that I would give 5 stars for, the Sandwhich was cook nice and crispy on a fresh bun excellent taste. MY date had a great chopped salsa, and the we had the best coconut shrimp.Along with a awsome peace of Key lime pie, and cappuccino coffee. MARKE 88 ,is located on the west side road setting in a nice cozy restaurant on the beach kinda hidden, a real nice relaxing atmosphere, and and great service staff. You will not be disappointed if you decide to stop by Marke 88.

We came in for dinner and to watch the sunset and had the best time. Such a beautiful and serene atmosphere with the most amazing views. The hostesses were welcoming and we had no wait. Our waitress was Leslie and she was awesome. She was very attentive and kind, we really enjoyed having her! The food was excellent. For starters we ordered the coconut shrimp and the crab cake. The flavors and portions were perfect for us. The crab cake only comes with one but it was plenty and absolutely perfect as well. For our entree we had the blackened mahi with lemon piccata sauce, rice, and vegetables and it was phenomenal. The flavors and the cook were outstanding. I also highly recommend the coconut pineapple margarita. Looking forward to coming back soon.

The restaurant has a beautiful location right on the water, with a great attraction next door. It brings great crowds at peak times. Unfortunately the food is really not good. Their fried fish tastes like it was taken out of a grocery store breaded fish sticks section, the tacos had nothing to them but some cabbage, tomatoes and piece of fish that had nothing flavor to it. We are both fish lovers and neither of us could push ourselves to finish the meal. Even the fries were not good. Mind you, the ice tea was lacking flavor too. I tried adding sugar and lemon and nothing saved it. What this needs is a new chef and quickly. On top of that, you will see your waiter when you order and when you hunt them down to pay. Our drinks were not delivered and I finally got them after 15 min, after getting up and asking 3 waiters to get them. Not worth the time. There are many better organized and better meal quality options nearby.

Stopped by for lunch and enjoyed every bite of my sandwich. The views, the food and the service were fantastic. This place looks like a fun place in the evening. Wish we had time to stay around for dinner.

Absolutely beautiful spot by the water and ships. If you choose to sit by the deck you can watch people feed the tarpon and usually there's some pelicans and other birds nearby. Hate to do this, but I will say the food is on the pricier side and sadly I found to be quite lackluster with exception of the lobster bisque. The drinks are much smaller than establishments with similar price points. I think we went to maybe 25 restaurants in the time we were in this area and this one has the longest wait and slowest service of all of them. We waited 20 minutes to get our drinks. Certainly they were short-staffed however not busy either.

Very cool vibe! Beautiful view. Got to feed the tarpons!! Had the shrimp and coconut shrimp and it was mediocre. Bit overpriced but island prices I guess. But I might recommend the happy hour boiled shrimp. Great value and tasty.

We tried that trailer trash bloody mary, made by the sweetest lady, super quick, you know? The mix was a bit weak, but the stuff on top was awesome, a good snack. Prices are kinda high, though. But the view and the vibe are what make this place worth it.

Breakfast at Robbie’s in Islamorada was a perfect Keys experience — waterfront views, hearty food, and warm service. I had eggs, home fries, sausage, and toast cooked exactly right, while my companion’s blueberry pancakes were fluffy and delicious — easily “the best in the Keys.” Fresh fruit on the side added a tropical touch. Our server, Jana, was outstanding: friendly, attentive, and perfectly timed with coffee refills and extras. Between the food, the setting, and her service, breakfast at Robbie’s is an easy 10/10.

I went to have lunch today with my mom, husband and son for my mom’s birthday and we had a great time! We got sat pretty quickly and Natalie was very sweet and attentive to us the entire time! She had great recommendations, The coconut shrimp was amazing and my husband enjoyed the chicken sandwich. My mother had a great time and it was a great atmosphere. The manager in the front was also very polite to us and the family :) The service was genuine and it was a great birthday lunch <3 :) thank you!

Stopped by here with the family during our August vacation in the Keys. The food was excellent and they had plenty of flash back items all around to look at, like old arcade games, record albums and movie memorabilia. The service however left much to be desired, as we got our own sodas out of the cooIer and I understand helping out each other, but a different waitress and the busboy brought our food and for the price of the entrees the side salad should come with it. Also, a small selection of bottled sodas with no refills at $3.50 a pop is ridiculous. Stop overcharging your customers and offer fountain drinks with refills. Still good enough to recommend you stop by.

I’ve been hearing about this place for quite some time and never had the pleasure of stopping in. I’m sorry I hadn’t earlier as the food and service are on another level. Spicy Fish “Tacos” are actually a burrito that is very well balanced and made perfectly. I’d say for the keys a 7/10 and for miami an 8.5/10. As far as the pizza no frills just a good pie that has fresh ingredients cooked perfectly. 8/10 And the icing on the proverbial cake is the complementary dog food what a nice and awesome touch.

Traveling through we found this place that had 4.7 stars. We drove up and were a little concerned because there were hardly any cars in the parking lot. I guess because it was 3:00 in the afternoon on a Saturday we came at a time that was not busy. We decided to eat here and I must say that the grouper Reuben. Sandwich was out of this world. Again I was a little concerned but to take a risk. I'm so glad I did. I've never had anything like it anyway s not fishy the fish was mild it was a nice big piece and so flavorful. I topped my meal off with key lime pie which was top with meringue for one it was very tasty it was very pleased with her experience and we'll look forward to coming here again next time I'm in the Keys.

Fabulous grouper Reuben! And my waitress was the sweeetest!!! I don’t know what her name was, but she had blonde hair, pulled back in a ponytail and had glasses… She was just the nicest person. I was by myself and she made me feel very comfortable. I took one star off for atmosphere because I was boiling hot. It felt like the air conditioner didn’t work great. Granted, it was about 110° outside!

Seriously so happy we found this place ! We ate there twice in a row ! The Caesar salad is really good , love the dressing ! First night I have the chicken pam with spaghetti very good . Second night we had pizza very tasty!! The service also was very good!

Whenever we visit Islamorada, this iconic and traditional place becomes a must-stop. The warm service and the culinary offerings stand out for their freshness and variety: from artisanal pizzas and pastas to vibrant salads and flavorful sandwiches. Each dish reflects quality and dedication, making the experience a constant delight for the senses.

This place is a Diamond 💎 Nostalgia atmosphere with terrific food, pizza, and service. Extremely clean as well. Our server, CC is a gem. Such a pleasure with a terrific attitude. The owners are Chef's and each plate has an elegant presentation, extremely large portions and the food is terrific. Don't forget about their to die for desserts.

Caesar salad was good, a little plain however. Food lacked presentation but made up for it in taste. We got the Chicken and Shrimp Al Mare ($28) and the shrimp scampi ($28) and two drinks ($6). The dishes were quite delicious! It has a nice older and dim atmosphere and good variation of items on their menu 🕯️

Another Islamorada original. Good food served in a dining room with real linen tablecloths! Brie was attentive, fun and arranged things exactly as we wanted!

Had dinner at The Old Tavernier recently, and it wasn’t great. Our server, Bree, however, was friendly and personable, but the food was meh at best. My spouse (DF/GF) had grilled shrimp on GF pasta. She wasn’t sick after the meal which is always a positive when dining out, but the shrimp was waaay overcooked. I had a Caesar salad, which was OK, and calamari, which was gross! The breading was like sandpaper grit - very dry and gritty, and so clumped on the tentacles that they were balls of grit instead of tender goodness. Considering some positive reviews and their own hype on their web page, it was a very underwhelming and overpriced meal. Almost forgot - I had their Old Fashioned, and it was an insult to the name; it was sweetened and had a crushed maraschino cherry (the fruitcake variety) - yuck!

Excellent customer service. The food was so delicious. I get the coconut encrusted yellowtail snapper everytime I go. Definitely recommend.

This place has it all. Great service, great atmosphere and great 5 star food on one side and amazing Pizza in the bar! Don’t forget the best Espresso Martini ever!

My family went for Thanksgiving dinner this year, and it was the best Thanksgiving dinner we’ve had at a restaurant … I think ever? Most of us didn’t order the turkey or anything, but those who did enjoyed it. The food was high quality and wasn’t rushed. None of our plates were dry or cold when they got to us. Every dish seemed like it had gotten the attention it deserved.

Alex and Stephanie were so wonderful. The banter was amazing, and the service was warm and welcoming. All of the drinks were delicious, we love the pomegranate and spicy margaritas. The baked Brie was awesome and so was the ahi tuna.

This was our second visit. 1st time was just for drinks and they had a great selection & friendly staff. Went back tonight for dinner and it was excellent every thing was cooked to perfection . We will be back!

Delicious lunch at one of our favorite restaurants. The blackened shrimp tacos were perfect!

Local gem - Always great! Don’t forget to check out the specials board, which changes daily. You can find updates on their Facebook page. Italian Wednesday specials are my FAVORITE. I’ve gone for lunch, dinner, and often take out and never had a meal I didn’t enjoy. The owner and staff are always kind and attentive.

Great little corner spot. The food is always good. The service is always exceptional. There's some nice wines if you like California style.

Nestled at Mile Marker 88.5 on Plantation Key, City Hall Café & Wine Bar is a delightful culinary haven that captures the essence of the Florida Keys. This family-owned establishment offers a warm, welcoming atmosphere where both locals and visitors feel right at home . The menu is a testament to their commitment to quality, featuring a diverse array of dishes that cater to various palates. From fresh, locally caught seafood like blackened mahi tacos and shrimp scampi to hearty classics such as veal piccata and eggplant Parmesan, every dish is crafted with care and flavor .

I have had many dishes from here. The tuna sub and the pasta salad was awesome. For dinner I have had the shrimp Diablo which was so good,spicy but in a good way. Also I have had the chicken parmesan. All portions are very generous was able to get multiple meals from one dinner. Oh and let me tell you the bread is amazing. So good. Family members have gotten the blackened shrimp tacos and loved them. That said if you just want a great burger then come here perfect every time. Great flavors too all the dishes. Great place to eat lunch or dinner. They even deliver and the delivery guy was very nice . Can't say enough about the food they seem to hit it out of the park every time. One more thing giant cookie to go with you lunch. Or save it for when you have coffee. I had s'mores cookie it was a meal all by its self. Big enough to share if you really love the one your with. Lol

Really good food and they were open and honest about not being able to handle my daughter’s dairy allergy which we appreciate.

Bad Boy Burrito feels like the kind of small business you hope to stumble across on vacation — tucked away, casual, and absolutely worth it. It has the vibe of a place that may have started as a food truck (maybe it did?), but the flavor is anything but simple. The food is fantastic — fresh, flavorful, and made with care. And don’t sleep on the margaritas… seriously good. A perfect spot to grab a bite, sip something strong, and soak up the Keys vibe. Support local, eat well, and enjoy the surprise. #IslamoradaEats #TacoTuesdayApproved #HiddenGems #SupportLocal #IYKYK

This is the best sushi in the keys. We have eaten here for years and have never been disappointed. Today we had our favorite combination - the bayside roll and tuna poke bowl.

Badboy Burrito is a gem nestled in the Village Square here in Islamirada. My wife and I stumbled upon this place looking for lunch and it was amazing 🤩 I got the Baja fish tacos (made with local mahi today) and my wife got the chipotle chicken tacos, and in addition we got the salsa trio for chips and dip. All was delicious! The food was great, but the service was also fantastic! The employees are super polite, attentive, and friendly! All in all I had an 11 out of 10 experience here and I absolutely will be coming back!

I’ve been a few time to get poke bowls which are my favorite! But I’ve had the shrimp burrito was very good also! The burger wasn’t a fave for me the patty was tiny and the cheese was very hard but evrything else was amazing. And I’ll will continue to come back!

Love the burritos, best in town. Prices not updated on website or pics of menu. Just a heads up, if you’re ordering take out you’ll pay quite a bit more than you’re used to. I called to let them know, gal on the phone didn’t seem to care 🤷‍♀️ I’ll still go back, but maybe not as often.

A chef friend recommended this place, and it did not disappoint. Had the Baja tacos. The fish was incredibly fresh and tender. Rice and beans was good.. great laid-back outdoor eating area.

Ordered one order of the grilled fish tacos and one order of the fried fish tacos and a small guacamole and chips. The food was good and tasted fresh. The best thing was the guacamole. The fresh limeade and watermelon juice were also refreshing. The girl who took our order was either not friendly, hangry since it was lunch time, or having a bad day. Either way it is worth a stop.

Came from Orlando to Key West and stopped in on the way, it was incredible! The place is super cute and looks like a little house. Everything tastes authentic and delicious, the pizza is just amazing. Our server Vicente was helpful and kind, and talked to us throughout our dinner about his backstory and how he ended up here. Can’t recommend enough. A unique Authentic experience.

This is some of the most authentic Italian food I’ve ever had. The staff are so welcoming and checked on us consistently throughout our dining experience. The pizza was not your average pizza. It had the true Italian taste your grandparents would make and it’s cooked in a wood burning stove. We ordered just about everything on the menu and it was all so delicious.

This place is so beyond incredible!!! My husband who was born in Italy literally cried tears of joy at how much the food is identical to Italy. Please don’t get no American chicken parm! Get their real authentic dishes! You’ll never regret!! I had the Fiocchi di Pere… so amazing!! And my husband had the Bucatini all’Amatriciana!! Also pizza was great too! The appetizers was the Arancini and the Bruschetta!! Amazing!!!! Let’s not forget the BEST tiramisu in the world!!!! Special recommendation from our server Vincenzo on the dessert: Torta di Nonna which was a pear/lemon tart pie!

We had a fantastic dinner tonight! Both the food and service were top-notch. Our server, Memo, went above and beyond to make the evening extra special for my daughter’s birthday. He was friendly, attentive, and even put together a fun little birthday celebration for her. Truly a great experience all around!

Absolutely delicious food! We had the meat lover’s pizza with a stuffed crust and it was yummy. The crust is soft, not crispy, but good chew and nice flavor. Eggplant Parmesan was delicious! Vinny was our server and was direct, kind and even gave us another eggplant parm when they accidentally threw our plate away. I’d love to come back and try more dishes! Only thing missing was a view of the sunset.

We were looking for an Italian restaurant in the area, and came across this restaurant. OH MY….WORD!!! The food is like no other Italian we have EVER had (literally). Our server, Vinny and Chef Rafael, were absolutely amazing! Food and service was out of this world! I could go on and on and on…do yourself a favor, if you’re in the Keys, stop in at their Islamorada location and enjoy the best meal ever!!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We had a fantastic experience at the Italian Food Company, thanks in large part to our amazing server, Vinny. He was incredibly personable and went out of his way to make us feel welcome. Vinny shared stories of his time living and working in Italy, which added such a special, authentic touch to our evening. His recommendation of the Florentine steak was spot-on — it was absolutely delicious. Vinny’s warmth and enthusiasm truly elevated our dining experience. We’ll definitely will be back.

Neat place to walk around the docks and great photo-op out back! Beautiful view, great, relaxed atmosphere. We were seated immediately (just two of us), but there’s plenty of seating indoors and out. Service was great- prompt but not rushed at all. I had the Mahi tacos and my husband had the burger with egg. I had the cracked conch for an app (very tasty). The food was good and the service was excellent. Would def come back!

As soon as I came in the place was just vibrant very cool out of all the places in the area something drew us here and as Google reviewers throughout the world, we’ve seen lots of places we’ve had lots of seafood and many many different countries and all across the USA we have 9 million views on our pictures and reviews i’m telling you right now this place is a real gym. Special thanks to Brian and team. My wife is still smiling and talking about the grouper. She said it was the best fish she ever had and I couldn’t agree. More Keylime grouper is the hit. Now let me tell you about the drinks, Laura Jesus, the Keylime martini and The Keylime piña colada was awesome. We absolutely left the place with a smile. The dude was so cool. They gave us the best Keylime pie ever ahead of my life and you’ll see it in the pictures. This is a very detailed review with pictures videos at 4K and the view was astonishing will be back Brian and team.

The view was great along with the food. We got wahoo bites as an appetizer, fried fish baskets and key lime pie for dessert. I am not always the biggest fan of fish but every thing I ate here was delicious.

Stopped by for dinner while on a work trip. Great experience, amazing food and my sever Nike was awesome and very helpful. Will definitely stop by everytime I am in the keys. I'd suggest the name sake of the restaurant for your dinner needs, exceptional wahoo fillet.

Loved the atmosphere, we sat outside on deck had ocean view all around. Our waiter was knowledgeable about the area and gave us great selections on the food. We took his advice and ordered the whole snapper. Delicious 😋!

We had wahoo bites, crab topped fried green tomatoes and tuna nacho’s. Absolutely delicious. Our bartender Payton was so sweet and loved the southern accent. She made us the specialty drink a watermelon basil spritz. So good it could get you in trouble. Highly recommend this place

Great dock-side pub recommended by a friend. We visited on a Sunday during Football season. They had two games showing on the patio, which was a great atmosphere. We ordered some nachos and drinks, and enjoyed the remainder of the football game. Our server was great, food was delicious, and they offer military discounts, which was very much appreciated. A very fun, playful atmosphere with great food!

Hog Heaven is a touristy spot during the day and a hot spot for partiers at night. It sits on the water and has a pier with a few boats docked. Maybe they are customers. We showed up in the afternoon for a late lunch. I liked the decor, which resembles a clean and cool-looking biker bar but it actually is a restaurant that specializes in pork dishes for the general public, rather than motorcycles and bikers. Hence the double meanings of "hog" in their name. We ordered the Pig Candy for our appetizer. It was good but could've been a bit crispier, I think. For my main meal, I ordered a Pulled Pork sandwich with fries. I was a little disappointed in the lack of BBQ flavor in the pork and it could've been juicer. I could taste the smokiness but not the BBQ sauce in it. They did include 3 different sauces with the dish but I only liked one of them. The other 2 were a mustard sauce and a very spicy red one. I love my BBQ dishes and know what I want. My daughter got the Shrimp Poor Boy sandwich and said that her sandwich could've used more flavor also. But they were OK, and we would return here again and try different dishes. My daughter also had a Hog A Rita, a Margarita, which was made well. Our server was Zach, who was friendly and helpful answering questions. He was very busy but still checked in on us frequently. We walked around the restaurant for a bit and took a few pics as there are many photo ops here and interesting collectibles to look at.

I don’t remember what the gentleman’s name was that waited on us, but he was excellent. There’s so many great menu choices, but he never rushed us. I had a (couple) coconut sunrise drinks which, were delicious! The Mahi Hog Tacos were very good. They don’t skimp on the mahi portion, and the combo of citrus slaw and black bean salsa made for a tasty, bright mouthful! The fried okra was perfect- light and crispy. Their house sauce complimented everything nicely. So good we brought some home for our leftovers! My husband and I split a piece of Key Lime Pie (as stuffed as we were), and I’m SO glad we did! It was one of the best I’ve had! Served super cold (which was great) not overly tangy, and super creamy. If you’re traveling the Keys, this is a definite “must try” restaurant. We’ll be back, for sure!

Must stop every time we’re headed home from the keys!! The pig wings are amazing definitely need an order for each person you won’t want to share. This time we brought in a few lobsters that we had just caught and came a with a couple sides recommended the Mac n cheese and slaw. Also fun for the kids to feed the local parrot fish barracuda and mangrove snapper. The service is always great and never have to wait for your food. Definitely recommend stopping in day or night.

We went mid afternoon and it was slow. We ate out back where we could see the water. The food was okay, the brisket and fish were dry. But everything else was good. We walked around the dock to check things out. It was a Wednesday in October so not much was going on.

Atmosphere and vibe is lively. Excellent music by the water. Enjoyed a wonderful dinner and cocktails by the water. I had the mahi mahi sandwich with fries. My husband had the turkey and mashed potatoes. The mashed potatoes were wonderful.

Hog Heaven was a truly memorable experience from start to finish. The food was exceptional – we loved the Pig Candy and the Key West Corn, I had the Brisket Burger….it was very tender!! The bar had well crafted drinks!!We watched a football game, after the game the tables were moved and the DJ started playing great music…..out back there’s an outside bar, with live music!! Thi place has an awesome atmosphere, highly recommended…..can’t wait to go back !!

One of the best burgers I ever ate. The meat was amazing, tasted like fresh medium steak. If you ever come by you need to make a stop here. Classic small American dine in restaurant. The staff was pretty kind and welcoming, the prices are affordable, looks nondescript from the outside, but it’s amazing from the inside.

Awesome Burgers and the Best Freshly Made Pork Rinds. When you want a change from seafood in the Keys.Great Service and Friendly Staff. Only complaint the burgers were to small for the price. I had the juicy Lucy it was excellent meat very fresh juicy but them pork rinds is a must! 100% recommend!

This small eatery has a simple setup with metal tables and an overall worn-out look. The best days of the furniture, signage, and decor seem long gone, and a bit of cleaning and renovation would go a long way. Food arrived within minutes — clearly pre-prepared — and while it tasted fine, the portions were quite small for U.S. standards. Honestly, the many 5-star reviews are hard to relate to. It feels like the owner hasn’t looked at the place with open eyes for a while. A checklist for improvements — tables, chairs, cleanliness, and signage — could really lift it up. Overall, okay for a quick stop, but not a place I’d return to.

Ordered two inside out burgers 30- 35 minutes before close and got there 13 minutes before closing to make sure they didn’t close on us. Figured I’d have to wait till they were done. However they already had been sitting there as she stated. The lady at the front was very passive aggressive due to wanting to just leave and be done with the night. She seemed irritated even though we placed the order in enough time before closing via phone call , as if she was just pissed off and just wanted to leave . She acted in the same manner in person as well. We asked for the burgers to be medium. Let alone, behold, when we got home they were raw. As if they didn’t care whether or not it was cooked because they just wanted to leave. This absolutely unacceptable, I know the order wasn’t placed till 30-35 minutes before close. However, this is NOT OKAY. Take your time. And cook it right. All this is going to do for your business is lower the amount of dedicated locals that could come back for more, that in the end , will never order again. This is totally unacceptable, and poor sportsmanship on their end.

Great Triple D hole in the wall! The bartender/server had a great personality and recommended all the best food. I wish this place was closer to home. I'm already craving another stuffed burger.

The BEST burger!!!!! I got the inside-out juicy lucy and it was the best burger I've ever had i never finish a meal because portion sizes are too big however I absolutely inhaled this burger and wish I had room for more. 10/10 you NEED to try this place

This is the rare burger that lives up to the hype. The burgers here taste like the greatest backyard burger you've ever tasted kicked UP with the best bun, best cheese & homemade ketchup! You're immediately greeted with a smile, the staff clearly believes in their store & they are proud to serve you. Their fries are as good as ANY fries you've ever enjoyed as well. Best burger in the Keys, EASILY. They have a huge selection of craft beers & sodas. If you're a local, you HAVE to stop. If you're visiting, skip seafood for at least 1 meal and you'll agree this is simply the BEST. 👑🍔🍟

What a treat! This has to be must stop location whenever I would be back in the area. How many buffets would you find with such a wide variety of seafood and some are locally caught! Also, usually buffets try to make it all about value and neglect other things like presentation or cleanliness. This place has both too! I've never been to a place that custom makes pasta as fancy as this with linguine (usually some Mongolian stir fry). For as much as I can try in one sitting, all the food was tasty and fresh, top to bottom to the dessert (had key lime pie and chocolate cake). The only thing I didn't finish was the one cube of pork that came with the yuca. It looked like it could be good and the way it's supposed to be made, but for me it seemed too ordinary/non-tender and given the other choices I thought I shouldn't waste precious stomach space! I also really liked the white fish in coconut sauce (looks yellow, like a lemon type sauce?). I think the white fish isn't local though, but at least the mahi mahi and snapper is. Jenn was an excellent server as well. Super friendly, personable, and even helped me get the dips for my seared tuna that I forgot! The only negative I can think of is the AC was kind of strong when I got in. However, I sort of "warmed up" to it more throughout the meal as I ate more 🙂 The views were also nice here in this prime spot 🏝️ I didn't try the crab legs though as I'm not that much of a crab person 😆🦀 In summary, this place would be a main destination for me in the area, and other things more secondary! It definitely hit the spot for me for an end-of day filling and relaxing place!

My family and I had dinner here on our way to key west for a weekend trip and had an awesome time. The seafood was fresh and delicious. The host was kind and professional. The staff were great too. Great view and good atmosphere. I'd love to go back next time I'm down there.

$40 per adult, $20 per child. $50 if you want to eat crabs. Lots of space, polite staff, fast service. I liked the food, 3-4 types of fish, everything was delicious, salads were excellent, desserts as everywhere. There was no sushi or I did not notice. I can definitely recommend it but a little expensive.

This place used to be all you can eat crabs and now for additional $5 you get two claws. A total of $45 just for food per person. I’ve never felt more ripped off. When I used to love coming to this place as a kid.

I really don't like leaving this bad review I really tried many of the different foods here and I have to be honest it was not very good. The paella was not even close to a real paella . The fish choices where not fresh and tasteless. The cold shrimp two out of three where no deveined. The oysters look like they were chewed on before serving. The flan desert terrible tasted like corn starch. The beef was completely raw see photos. This is in my opinion not even close to what this place use to be. It's basically a cheap Chinese buffet for a high price. But at least at a Chinese buffet you get sushi and more options and hibachi for around $20 bucks. This is just a tourist trap.

Very nice! Right on the water! Beautiful views! Awesome fresh seafood both Hot & Cold! Best Ceviche around! They serve Pulled Pork & Beef as well!! Definitely on my list to go back next time!

Beautiful views and friendly service, but the food was a letdown—especially for $120 for two. My peel-n-eat shrimp and crab legs ($5 extra) were overcooked and dry. Mahi bites started off good, but the fresh batch tasted burnt. My husband said the regular meats 🍖 were decent, and the desserts were actually pretty good 🍨 Sadly, the quality didn’t match the price. Disappointed overall. ➡️ Follow us on Socials for more detailed travel tips & restaurant reviews @ @Sweet_Southern_Living

Quaint rustic restaurant with some of the best food. Most of the dishes are gluten free and full of flavor. We had lobster bisque, shrimp tempura, shrimp and grits and the shrimp rice bowl and finished off with key lime pie. All full of flavor and portion sizes are generous. Highly recommend!!

We just left the restaurant and it was totally worth the stop! It’s a small spot with both indoor and outdoor seating, and they have a happy hour from 4–6 pm with drinks and appetizers. We started with local craft beer and coconut shrimp—so good! For mains, we had the fish and chips and a burger. Both came with fries, and everything was hot, crispy, and super fresh. Our server Juan Pablo was great, always making sure we were having a good time.Thanks for the great experience! We’ll definitely be back when we visit the area again.

Wow! Just wow. Im speechless. We found this place a little too late but once we did we went back 3x. The food was the best fried shrimp i have ever had. Hand battered with an amazing recipe and fried to perfection. The shrimp were huge and way bigger than any other restaurant that I tried. The taste is amazing and slightly crunchy. The fries were fantastic. The atmosphere was great, a mix of old beach vehicles and comfy chairs. The owner and family were so friendly and JP is awesome and checks on you to make sure you are all set. Cant say enough good things about this place and staff… just go here and stop waiting. Also, watch cuz google maps will send you in some weird u turn loop but you can pull in right off the highway.

Delicious food and great service at Twisted Shrimp! We enjoyed outdoor seating and a flavorful Caesar salad in a spinach bowl topped with Mahi. The shrimp cooked perfectly was served with sweet potato fries. The crab bisque was rich and satisfying. We'll definitely be back!

Great food! We enjoyed it so much we came back the next day. The outdoor seating has a really nice atmosphere, though it was quite hot—even with fans running. The indoor vibe isn’t as inviting. Service was a bit slow, as there was only one server handling everything, but she was doing her best and remained kind throughout. They definitely need at least one more person helping. That said, the food was excellent both times. We’ll definitely be back!

We live not far and will be stopping here every time we drive past for dinner. Great atmosphere, amazing staff and the food so incredibly delicious! We had the 1lb of shrimp, Brussels sprouts, Fish & chips, mahi-mahi & shrimp, As well as their fish tacos. The sauce on the mahi-mahi and shrimp was so incredible. I was asking how it was made. 10 out of 10 recommend! Family owned and operated! Small place packed with flavor. The orders going out the door for to go orders was astounding.

We stopped at this restaurant after staying a few days in the Keys, and it was nothing short of fantastic! The menu may seem simple, but they let the quality of the ingredients and the flavor speak for itself. The fish and shrimp were all fresh and well-seasoned. We highly recommend the Blackened Mahi and Shrimp Platter. The service was excellent, and the staff were all very kind and accommodating to whatever we needed! And all at a reasonable price, especially for a place that gets so much tourism. Stop by and you won't be disappointed!

You saved Easter!!! We stop in on occasion to pick up something quick and when other places are closed. If we lived just a little closer I would make this my only place to shop. For a small place it has a ton of great options that include prepared foods, a smartly stocked grocery, liquor, gifts, over the counter medications and a super friendly staff. Everything is priced very reasonably too. It’s wonderful, clean and pleasant here. Highly recommended. The Easter bunny got jammed up and couldn’t get to the store in time before the big day. Trading Post came through with everything we needed and more.

Totally worth the hype … perfection!! Crust has buttery goodness in the best proportion, the filling is the best balance of sweet and tart - just the way the key lime pie filling should taste & beautiful whipped cream topping, the exactly the right amount!! Amazing!! So in love 🩷

I have been visiting this place for over 50 years. As a teenager it was the only place to buy any type of canned goods and food locally. Always fair prices. A friendly staff. Remind me of the keys the old Keys when everyone knew each other and it was only locals. A treasure in the Keys.

This review is only for the Key Lime pie. Best in the Keys of all the places we tried. Didn’t purchase anything else in the store but didn’t need to. Must try!

The reviews are right. Great place. Lots of sandwiches and salads in the back. They have key lime pie ice cream in the fridge on the side. Skip all the bluebell and get that. They do have other key lime pie by front door too if you want to get in and out. Almost forgot they got a decent single beer selection. Hard to find dilirium tremens as singles.

DIFFERENT TYPES FOR HUNTING AND HUNTERS BUT NOT FOR ME I FOUND IT IN MY UNUSUAL WAY FUNNY BUT THAT'S JUST ME

Great place and super convenient. Open 24 hours which is a huge plus if you are coming into the keys early or late. Also a huge plus for runners and crews before, after or during the Keys 100 ultra marathon races each May. Huge sub sandwiches from the deli that are made fresh and are priced very well. Key lime pies and frozen key lime pie covered in chocolate are two must purchases for anyone who visits the Keys.

We had dinner as a party of 8. Excellent service. Not all.of our party members ate sushi. We had the best waiter, Damien, who accommodated all of our party's needs by getting food from a different menu. Excellent service-highly recommended.

Best sushi we’ve had in at least 3 years. Service was excellent. The night of our reservation was a little chilly / windy and we were given the option of sitting outside or at the crowded bar. We chose to sit outside and it was fine. Great experience.

The dining experience was marred by subpar service; the staff were inexperienced and inattentive, detracting from the meal's overall enjoyment. Additionally, the decor was notably outdated and unappealing, creating an atmosphere that felt neglected and unwelcoming. The interior, with its dated decorations, urgently needs a refresh to match the quality of the dishes being served. This incongruence between the quality of the food and the environment significantly impacts the appeal of dining here, suggesting that a comprehensive overhaul could greatly enhance the overall experience. The restaurant's culinary offerings, particularly the spicy tuna bento box, was flavorful and well-prepared, showcasing a commendable mastery of traditional techniques and fresh ingredients.

We had a wonderful experience and enjoyed sushi, edamame, dumplings, cocktails and dessert! The sushi was very fresh. I loved the Keysey Japanesey and Big Kahuna rolls. The Nitro is an excellent version of spicy tuna, be prepared for a kick there. The edamame was too spicy for my preference, but the guys liked it. It has a lot of chili sauce on it. We brought our baby and they provided a high chair. The view was excellent! Our server was perfectly attentive. Highly recommend!

Located in the Cheeca resort, this sushi is amazing with a paradisal view to satisfy all your senses. There is live acoustic guitar on the beach below. Service was quick and our server was very attentive. This is a great date night location or for family looking for a quiet evening.

Tucked away inside th Cheeca Lodge & Spa, Nikai is easily one of the best sushi bars this reviewer has ever been to. Seating is on an upper level that faces the resort beach. The tables are simply decorated with a small lamp and live bonsai trees. The live music is loud enough to enjoy, and still have normal conversations. The food truly is the star. Three of us went and shared two sushi rolls and the bento box. A. Ma. Zing!! If you get the chance to go, do it. You won't be disappointed.

One of the best sushi places I have ever gone to. The sushi was incredible and even more important so was the staff that worked there a big shout out to G who made my experience even better.

They close early (than other restaurants - since clarification was needed), but they were open at 6 on the weekends. There were only a couple of guests present when we came in. The decor is simple and clean. There is outdoor seating for nice days. The bowl was fairly large, and all veggies were fresh. The chicken was not as good as I had hoped with the rating. However, the baba ganoush was fantastic, and I wished I had gotten the dip platter because all the sauces/dips were good.

Stopped for a glass of wine and a dip sampler with veggies. Seemed like a nice little place. Casual. Had gluten free items in menu. Quite a few. Was good. People nice. Kept seeing meatballs go by. Looked good. Maybe next time!!

We were on vacation in Key Largo when we discovered this place. It was so delicious that we made a rare 2nd visit here during our trip (we always like going to different places daily). Interior is clean, well appointed and attractive. We had lunch here and I had chicken pita, while my partner had cauliflower pita. We absolutely loved the food so much. The french fries also were excellent with the zatar seasoning. I highly recommend this place!

Loved the shrimp bowl as well as the baba ganoush. The whipped feta is to die for. Pita was fresh, warm, and fluffy. I also had a hard kombucha - highly recommend if you like drinks on the tart side.

So much flavor and the way it is situated it’s like you are right on the Mediterranean in a corner of a busy seaside village. The vibe is busy and laid back and there are several other restaurants nearby and wine bars it really is a great spot! The food is incredible. BUILD it yourself…literally! And they have these unique drinks cardamom, coffee, cocke and cream, or Turmeric Lime - all made fresh! The Harissa and Tzatziki are mind blowing. I had Harissa Shrimp - it was on romaine lettuce w tzatziki and pickled everything I could get! Sooo good. 4 BIG shrimp! Sauce galore. Flavor through the roof! And great vibes

Excellent Mediterranean mainstay here in Islamorada. Flavorful and mindfully prepared bowls, pitas, and extra tasty fries covered in a savory seasoning that is nothing short of addictive. You simply can’t miss if your appetite commands an array of creative greek cuisine for lunch.

Had lunch here and everything we had was excellent. All ingredients were made from scratch and were on point. Hummus, falafel, pita, whipped feta, and more all made on premises and were excellent. Will definitely go back next time we're in the area. The staff were really friendly and accommodating too. Highly recommended for a great casual lunch.

Love the bartenders here - a very fun place! Food is excellent and if you are a sports TV fan, this is a good Islamorada place to visit. We've enjoyed a variety of items from the menu of many meats from the smoker! Also a good happy hour with the best wings & French fries in the Keys.

Food was absolutely amazing !!! Everything we ate was really good, fresh and definitely better than what most restaurants serve. Their prices were quite fair as well. Five stars on the food! The atmosphere is chill. Four stars there. The employees are all nice and friendly. However; some can be a bit slow at taking orders and such. Like the last time we went we waited over 30 minute for him to take our order from the time we said we were ready to order. The place was busy-ish, but not busy enough to wait that long. So 3-4 stars on the service end of it all based on our experiences over multiple visits. We will definitely be going back again :)

Did takeout a couple of nights at the outdoor kitchen. Really good bbq, especially the brisket. Good mac and cheese too. No long waits. Not expensive either. A good option if you're in Islamorada

Fantastic BBQ Sports Bar with Unbeatable Atmosphere! I recently discovered The Nest at the Green Turtle, and it has quickly become my go-to spot for a remarkable dining experience in Islamorada. This barbecue sports bar effortlessly combines mouthwatering food, exceptional service, an incredible happy hour, and an unbeatable location. Here's why I absolutely love this place! First and foremost, the food at The Nest is outstanding. Their menu boasts a delectable selection of barbecue dishes that are cooked to perfection. But let me tell you, their chicken wings are simply out of this world! Every bite is packed with flavor and juiciness, making them the best wings in town without a doubt. Whether you prefer them smoky, tangy, or spicy, they have a variety of sauces to satisfy any palate. The service at The Nest deserves special recognition. The staff here is incredibly friendly, attentive, and always goes above and beyond to ensure a memorable experience. From the moment you step through the door, you're greeted with warm smiles and genuine hospitality. Their knowledge of the menu and recommendations are spot on, adding an extra touch to the overall dining experience. One of the highlights of The Nest is their awesome happy hour. The drink specials are fantastic, and the atmosphere during this time is vibrant and inviting. It's the perfect place to unwind after a long day or catch up with friends. The Green Turtle's location in Islamorada is ideal. Lastly, if you're a sports enthusiast, you'll love The Nest. With multiple TVs strategically placed throughout the bar, you won't miss a single moment of any sporting event. The lively atmosphere and cheering crowds make it an exhilarating place to watch your favorite teams. In summary, The Nest at the Green Turtle is a hidden gem that deserves five stars and more. From their mouthwatering barbecue dishes, especially the unforgettable chicken wings, to the friendly and attentive service, everything about this place is exceptional. Add to that their awesome happy hour, prime location, and the exciting sports bar atmosphere, and you have a winning combination. I highly recommend The Nest to anyone looking for a memorable dining experience in Islamorada.

Check this place out is all I can say. Great BBQ, huge portions and super reasonably priced. Ordered the two meat platter (brisket and pork) and it was enough for 3 people. It also came with corn bread and 2 sides (ordered Mac and Cheese and potato salad). This place is legit. I only wish the BBQ sauce wasn’t so generic.

My parents and I were craving bbq while driving down the keys and stopped by. We did not regret it. The man working the truck was extremely nice and helpful. The brisket and mac & cheese were incredible. I’d definitely stop here again.

I ate a brisket sandwich with collard greens. I was surprised to see a roadside BBQ and thought it was an awesome idea. The food is very good. I hope the gentleman that served me has a great day.

Great mom & pop place down in the keys. Me and a couple of buddies rode in this morning and they treated us great. We went with their recommendations and loved it. The Hammy Hash croissant and the Bacon egg cheese bagel were outstanding. The owner also gave us a bagel to try while we waited. Highly recommend

Ahhhhh-mazing! Everything Asiago bagel with BEC is to DIE FOR!!! My husband is from NY and he said it’s the best bagel sandwich he’s ever had! Atmosphere is super casual and very chill. Highly recommend.

Asiago everything bagel, jalapeño bacon cheddar, cinnamon, incredible selection of NYC quality bagels!! Exactly what I needed to start my day. Excellent service, on a busy morning I still received my order quickly. Highly recommend this little spot for breakfast.

Busy for a reason... well worth the wait! The latte and iced coffee were delicious. The bagels are huge, come with two eggs and whatever meat you choose. I also recommend adding cream cheese to it! The bagel is super soft and you can tell it's fresh! Great service, they were busting their butts in there and they did a great job!

Best bagel I've ever eaten! Hot, toasted everything bagel with a smear of cream cheese- incredible. Magnificent. Indulgent. Wow!!

Love this spot. Great service. Colton was the nicest and polite. Yummy bagels and good coffee.

Killer bagels! We stopped by here after leaving the Florida keys and was extremely happy we stopped. Numerous people recommended this establishment to get breakfast and I wasn’t disappointed. They make everything fresh there and got numerous pastries to go for the ride home. Next time we are in the Florida Keys we will definitely stop there and enjoy their fine pastries.

What a treat for ourselves on our last day in the Keys. This place was phenomenal! Talk about a culinary experience! I have eaten sushi all over the country and this was hands down the best I’ve had. From the over the top experience to the professionalism of the chef, every aspect of this meal from start to finish was superb. I didn’t want my food journey to end. The blue fin and the tuna nachos were definitely the highlight of the evening. I cannot wait to come back to the Keys again so we can come back to this one of a kind gem of a restaurant. Thank you to all that took care of us last night, we will not forget it.

Chef Junior was so much fun. Little hidden gem. I tried Chef Juniors Choice Premium Roll & Plaza 88 roll. Both excellent. Cozy atmosphere. Dark and romantic. Great air conditioning. There were several big parties on a Friday night and the conversation wasn’t overwhelming. Good acoustics. Nice wine/champagne selection. No liquor license yet. Varied Asian offerings. Unique things. I’ll be back.

Shima is hands down one of the best Japanese restaurants I’ve ever been to. I’ve visited multiple times now—always with friends or family whenever I’m in town—and it continues to impress every single time. The staff is incredibly friendly and welcoming, and the service is consistently excellent. You can tell they genuinely care about creating a great experience for their guests. And the food? Absolutely astonishing. Everything is fresh, beautifully prepared, and packed with flavor. From sushi to hot dishes, it’s clear the quality and attention to detail are top-notch. Shima has become a go-to spot for me, and I can’t recommend it highly enough. If you’re looking for an unforgettable Japanese dining experience, this is the place. P.S…. ORDER… THE… Chicken&Waffles…. TRUST!!!

This is an awesome ambience restaurant. Our server was good but food was ok. liked seaweed salad came with boat. We ordered boat for 1, liked plaza 88. We also ordered coconut shrimp sushi and it was good. Starter fried shrimp was good but for 5 shrimps $18? Waffle and chicken was not at all good, waffles were oily and chicken was like rubber texture. Shrimp fried rice had no taste. This place seems to be overpriced for decor and their presentation. Won’t spent money again for decor, I like good food.

This place is amazing. The food is great, beautiful presentation and you can tell everyone in there cares about the food and customers. We will go there EVERY time in the Keys

Very fresh sushi 🍣 and fun vibe ! Excellent service , but it did seem pricey for what you get. Otherwise I liked it 🤤

Very interesting experience. The waiter clued us into all sorts of non roll stuff on the menu. Spoiler, they were awesome. He also gave us tips on what he likes to add into the poke bowls. We ended up having these rice cubes with a maki ball on top. Those were really amazing as an appetizer. 100% would get again. The poke bowl was delicious and the waiter gave us some pro recommendations on substitutions for it. All in all super enjoyable, will go again.

Loved the atmosphere. Laid back and relaxed. The food and service was excellent. And really enjoyed the local beer!

Saved the night! After a terrible trip to a typical keys restaurant, we ended up here because they were open late. Eggplant fries are amazing and so are the duck wings. Food served quick. Service was great. Cocktails on point. Thank goodness for this place.

Interesting selection of foods and they were good - super yummy eggplant fries. However, the service was TERRIBLE. Booked a reservation to sit outside, but was seated inside in an empty restaurant. Waited over an hour to get our food. Patrons who had arrived after us got their food in a timely manner. Drinks not refilled. Could go on, but just all around awful service.

Finally something unique in the keys! Amazing combinations of foods with great plate presentation! Tapas style with excellent service! We were full and had to take take the dessert togo. Shady outside seating and good beachy music too! We will definitely be back again!

Menu not all there. No specials. Chef at the bar drinking( round of drinks for the kitchen staff on the menu....)Service bad for a very slow night. Cuban sandwich was a mojo pork sandwich. Nothing like at all like a Cuban. Menu said crispy bread. It came out on brioche. About the farthest from crispy bread. Tasted good. But not what was expected at all due to the reputation they uphold.

We were super excited to find a place in the keys that offered something different than the standard fare. I can't say we we had a great experience. To start our drinks were sickly sweet, but then eggplant fries and mushroom flat bread were great so things were looking up... all our entrees came out separately and the Fish hot Brown sandwich was still missing. After several reminders that we were missing an entree the fish sand finally arrived after the rest of the party finished eating and has no flavor or seasoning, we sent that one back. In addition to the late entree arrival the fried Brussels sprouts were barely edible and my $10 order of blue cheese truffle fries didn't have much bc or truffle. After asking for a cup of coffee twice we gave up and ask for a check. I'm sure the server was disappointed by the $10 tip on our $120 meal but we left with one person from our party hungry and didnt enjoy most of the meal or the service. We would not dine here again and don't reccomend it.

I love coming here for many reasons. Awesome live music, unique menu items, great food, good service and a fantastic beer selection. If it were only on the water, we'd have a near perfect restaurant for the area in my opinion.

The place is beautiful, with a pleasant atmosphere and delicious food. However, I had an issue with the bill: when I checked it at home, I realized that I had been overcharged for dishes I didn’t order. I tried to contact the business to clarify the situation, but I couldn’t get a response. It’s a shame because the overall experience was good, but these kinds of mistakes affect customer trust. I recommend checking the bill before leaving to avoid any issues.

Very good! 100% would recommend. I was thoroughly satisfied and impressed with my food! I had the mahi mahi tacos and my aunt had the catch of the day which included coconut crusted mahi mahi and caramelized plantains. Both were absolutely amazing and the view is pretty! Good service.

A nice place with a beautiful view of the ocean in the shadow of the tree. The environment of the restaurant is fantastic, organized clean with a friendly crew to receive you. The special food was the strawberry ice cream, this was fantastic.

We stopped here on our way to Fort Lauderdale from Key West, it was the perfect halfway point to stop for lunch. Great views and equally great food. Highly recommend this as a stopping point on a Florida Keys road trip!

Fish tacos were quite good, and cocktails menu was interesting. Beautiful scenery and great spot for sunset views. That’s where I finish with compliments. We had the least attentive server I have EVER had at an establishment, and we eat out often. Suffice it to say he entirely forgot to put in our food order, and then only asked about drinks after not visiting our table for about 30+ minutes. And no, it was not super busy. As long as you have lots of time, I’d say it’s a good spot to try. Just don’t expect great service!

Great experience at The Beach Cafe! Kellesh did an excellent job serving us. Food was delicious as well. Beautiful views of the water and mangroves. We had a storm roll in on us and they quickly accommodated us inside without hesitation or issue. Would recommend for anyone looking for a laid back waterfront atmosphere in Islamorada.

We had an outstanding Xmas eve meal… our drinks, appetizers and meals were delicious… our service was outstanding… and the views are incredible! Highly recommended!
