The 28 best bars and drinks in Islamorada

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!

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.

Perfect stop for on your way down to Key West or on your way back. Grouper cheeks were awesome and the conch with lazy days sauce simply delicious! We all had different fish sandwiches and all were excellent! I love the sandy table area right along the water's edge. Plenty of shade with the overhang and umbrellas. Good friendly service. Clean restrooms

We always make a stop at Lazy Days when we’re in the Keys. It’s such a fun spot to feed the sharks and tarpon and take some great photos. We usually enjoy a couple of snacks here and end up skipping dinner at home. The food is always good, and we really like that they have happy hour on Sundays. A great place to relax and enjoy the Keys vibe.

My family were visiting this area for a wedding and a nice local lady recommended Lazy Days Restaurant to us and we were glad she did! There were seven of us and we were greeted and seated within a few minutes of our arrival for dinner. We shared appetizers of Calamari, Grouper bites, blue point Oysters, and loaded Potato skins. I tried them all, and everything tasted fresh and delicious! For our meal my wife and I shared the Lobster Atlantis. It was mouthwateringly good! For dessert we had a slice of amazing Key lime pie. Our server was funny, friendly and helpful. The shore-side atmosphere and outdoor seating was great on the beautiful day we were there. Overall it was a great experience!

Beautiful spot. Great views of the ocean even from inside seating. Fresh seafood nothing frozen. Another place even if I’m full and near by need to stop to eat at. One of the best hogfish sandwich I’ve had. Love the views of the ocean nice breeze if you sit outside even on hot days. Fast service decent prices for what you’re getting. Love it

Right on the ocean! Open Air seating on the bottom level 2nd floor with additional open air seating Great food!! Excellent food! Hogfish lazy days style was probably the best fish I’ve ever eaten I also got the hog fish sandwich on another day (Ate there twice that’s how good it is) Definitely Recommend 100% very reasonably priced as well

Wow wow WOW!!! AMAZING seafood! My new favorite spot in the keys. Their grouper cheeks are a must try and their ‘lazy days’ cooking method is unreal! We had Nick as our server for our groom’s dinner for our wedding. He was incredible, checking on us at the right times and was extremely knowledgeable about the menu. We got almost everything based on his suggestions and it was all perfect. The best spot for a taste of the Keys! Best service ever, feet in the sand, delicious food & ocean views. What more could you want in the Keys? You’ll want for nothing if you come here. Can’t wait to come back! Thank you!!! 🎉

I was just there a couple hours ago. I had five pounds of fresh fish from a charter trip with TailWalker! A very nice woman talked me outta having all of it made! It would have been a crazy mound of fish! Food was delicious and service was great. If you're in the Keys check them out. You'll enjoy that ocean view too! I hope God's grace is upon you like it has been me this week!

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

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. 😀

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

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.

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

We had breakfast here, and the breakfast burrito was plentiful. Bring your appetite if you order this dish. The atmosphere was great, you can sit inside or outside l - there are plenty of tables. The avocado toast was also brilliant. I will be coming back 2 or 3 more times on this 6-day trip here in Islamorada!

We had a great experience here today! My kids enjoyed their kids pancake plate (1 pancake, 1 egg, bacon and fruit for $8 was perfect for them), I enjoyed the Greek chicken salad wrap with a side of lobster bisque with pita chips. It was fantastic, a great light, yet filling brunch. My husband enjoyed his wrap and pasta salad as well. They had a beautifully tempting display of baked goods as well as a nice selection of gifts. The service was fast and friendly! We enjoyed sitting outside! I would definitely be sure to make a stop here!

If you’re looking for a great brunch spot, you have to stop by Midway Café! The food is amazing, and they offer both indoor and outdoor dining with plenty of delicious options. I had the omelette and the almond croissant both were incredible! Their menu has everything from breakfast and lunch to coffee and smoothies. Whether you’re staying in Islamorada or just passing through on your way to Key West, this place is a must-visit. Simply delicious!

My and family and I were staying at Islamorada for several days and checked out Midway Cafe and Coffee Bar for breakfast. I loved the bright, colorful eclectic decor, and local art. The service was good and the food was great. We liked Midway Cafe so much that we came went there a few times during our stay. Highly recommended ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Great place to grab lunch/breakfast. My family stopped here on our way back from Key West to Homestead. Has both outdoor and indoor seating. Lots of food & drink options as well. Very fresh food too. I got the ‘Everyone’s Favorite Sandwich’ and it was delicious. My dad got the club wrap and loved it. Right off the road. 10/10 recommend.

We stopped here on our way out of the keys and it was one of the best breakfasts I’ve ever had. We had the green egg sandwich, single pancake, coffee and my husband made his own sandwich. Free refills on coffee, superb food! 10/10 definitely stop. Also the most reasonably priced spot!

This was the CUTEST little cafe. Excellent breakfast, the espresso is delicious. The wait staff is so friendly and sweet. A must stop.

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!

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 !!

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.

Amazing food. Best steak I've ever had in the Keys. I would have given them a 5 star, but the seating was not the best. The person behind me was 3 inches away after we sat, and I shoved myself into the table. Right side, back corner on the left.... terrible seat and should be re arranged. Food gets a 5 star. Service gets a 5 star.

Thank You for making our 18th anniversary a night we won't forget, you guys Rock!! This was my second time at Ziggy & Mad Dog's and I gotta say I'm 100% hooked. The place is first class from the service to the amazing food its clearly managed and operated over and above the rest of the crowd, its easy to see its a place were people love to cook there hearts out, and put that extra love into the service and the patrons come to just indulge on some of the best food and friendly atmosphere in town. From the first moments your sat down its on!! Fresh bread and butter (absolutely delicious), cold imported bottled water served like wine all the way to the amazing desserts and everything in between. People you owe yourself a nice evening at this restaurant, its that good!!

Celebrated our anniversary & I don't think we could have picked a better place. Everything was so delicious; we got the escargot to start, I got the filet oscar'd, he got the ribeye, & we got truffle mac & cheese to share. We also shared the creme brulee, only thing I could say was the sugar crust on top was a bit thick for my liking. Service was lovely, they packed everything we did not finish to go for us & we enjoyed it later in the week.

This restaurant blew me away! We tried the filet, Mac and Cheese and the fries - everything was perfection! I loved the outdoor seating but we opted for indoors for the AC 🤣. We were completely full, but had the key lime pie anyway and it was the best I’ve had, it had a cookie type crust and was so velvety and smooth.

Ziggie Mad Dog on Isla Morada is a perfect 10/10. I had been wanting to visit for a long time, and the truth is that it has become my favorite restaurant. The service is excellent, the atmosphere is wonderful, and the attention is incredible. The food is delicious—each dish is more flavorful than the last, and everything is perfectly cooked and tender. You have to try it, and you will say, “Wow, this is amazing!” They definitely deserve 5 Golden Buoy awards!

Ziggie and Mad Dog's a historic and delicious restaurant in Islamorada in the Florida Keys. A varied, delicious menu of classis steaks and very fresh seafood. Check out the shrimp cocktail and Yuca balls we had for appetizers. The tossed Wedge salad was a great treat as well. The main courses of Filet mignon and double pork chops were cooked as requested and delightful to the taste buds. Come and treat yourself!

Truffle mac & cheese has no truffle flavor at all. Either missing or they're using cheap truffle oil. Scallops were the smallest and most overpriced I've ever seen. Server raved about them being the best. Was a complete rip-off. Plate did not even look good. They charge double the price for a double pour. Fair warning. This is not standard practice. You're only doubling one ingredient, not the whole drink. Steaks are good. The Tuna entree, seared tuna, uses frozen tuna not fresh. Easily identified by the color. Really sad for being in the Keys. Overall, there are far better restaurants and options around. I think this is overpriced, doesn't even deliver on food taste or portions. The table next to us waited over an hour for their dinner. We waited 45 minutes.

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.

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.

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. 👑🍔🍟

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

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.

If I could give this place 0 stars I would… the delivery took over an hour and we are 3 miles away. The pizza was basically frozen and tasted like cardboard with underlying hints of toothpaste. Torino’s party pizza is honestly better than what I received from this place. The garlic knots and pizza tastes freezer burnt. The look of the knots were so unappealing. They chopped straight up garlic cloves and sprinkled it on top with a hint of Parmesan. We ordered ranch and marina strictly and somehow ended up with 5 chunky thick blue cheeses. The worst part is I didn’t realize until I took a bite of my cold pizza with disgusting blue cheese on it. The only upside delivery driver was friendly. How they still have customers, I have no idea. Absolutely terrible.

Highly disappointed Spent my hard earned money on box of Dysfunctional pizza. The cheese fell of of it. Then had the nerve to charge me 17 dollars for a medium veggie pie the cheese isn’t cook or done you can see In the photos . Wasn’t worth a 20 min rate I feel really disrespected can’t even eat anymore. Like why serve your customers like this. Highly upset

Picked up a takeout order. Feels light, like surprisingly light for a large pizza and feta appetizer. Well, get it home and find it is thin. Not like the posted photos. Also, as you can see, they use very little sauce and cheese. It was like real pizza was put on an austerity program. The feta appetizer was “petite” to say the least. With these prices you expect something to impress you. Not here.

Every time I am in Islamorada, I have to grab a large Tower Deluxe pizza! This place is small and if you aren’t paying attention, you will drive right past it. The food however has always been good... especially their pizza. Looking at it from the outside, you wouldn’t expect much but don’t let that fool you when it comes to their food. Staff are very polite and helpful. Prices are also pretty reasonable compared to some of the other places nearby.

Was visiting and thought this place sounded pretty good. Called and placed an order for a large white pizza with chicken on it. We get here and the pizza itself is $30. the pizza is falling apart has literally a tiny chunk of chicken on each slice and is burnt and has black stuff all over it. Definitely not worth it. We will not be coming back.

Had a wonderful lunch today... stuffed grape leaves and pizza. Everything was really good.

1.5 hour for delivery. Delivery lady said they didn’t have part of my order. Pizza is cold. I’m a local and I won’t go or send anyone there again.

Knowing it was the home of the original rum runner made it a hard one to pass on stopping. So glad we did. Grabbed some lunch as well. Coconut shrimp with the sauce to dip it into was delicious as well as the tuna we had. The original rum runner was delicious. The scenery around there was amazing to just walk around if you want by the water. Plenty of seating and swings along the way.

Great place right at the resort to get good snacks and drinks. Would highly recommend their pina colada, with or without alcohol. They have tons of other drinks and good appetizers to share, including hummus and french fries. They have pretty swiftly service and a good amount of offerings. Always a highlight to get treats from here during my stay at the resort.

I recently stopped by this cozy little tiki bar, and I have to say — what a pleasant surprise! The atmosphere is fun and tropical, with bright décor and beachy vibes that make you feel like you’re on vacation. It did take a little while to get seated since the space is pretty limited, and the initial wait for service was on the longer side. However, once we were greeted, our waiter was super friendly and attentive, making us feel right at home. The real star here, though, was the food — seriously impressive! Every dish we ordered was flavorful and beautifully presented, far better than I expected from such a small spot. Once we placed our order, the food actually came out surprisingly fast and piping hot. Overall, despite the short wait and tight seating, the great service, tasty food, and chill island vibes made it a memorable experience. Definitely worth a visit if you’re in the mood for a little tropical getaway!

Had an amazing time at the Tiki Bar! The food was absolutely delicious— I had the sweet, hot, sweet & spicy chicken wings, and they were cooked to perfection with the perfect balance of heat and sweetness. My fiancé loved the fried calamari, which was crispy and flavorful. The drinks were top-notch— the piña coladas were smooth, creamy, and refreshing, just what we needed to complement the meal. The atmosphere was unbeatable, with great music that kept the energy lively and entertaining all night. If you're looking for a spot with delicious food, fantastic drinks, and a fun, relaxed vibe, this is the place to be. Highly recommend! Can't wait to come back! 🍹🔥🎶

Live music, good drinks, a fire pit, many outdoor seats, great drinks. The atmosphere is very relaxing. We really enjoyed the love music and walking along the boardwalk area. They added toech/tiki lights and a lot of remodeling. Very nice job remodeling everything here. The Sticky Steak skewers were very good.

Took me a while to find it — came here ALOT in late 90s but it was all tiki bar, reggae, rum runners and raw oysters connected with Kokomo inn immediately next door. Was here again maybe 10-15 years ago - pretty much like before. Now it’s all corp, modernized…well done but it took me at least 15 min to convince myself it was the same place. Had the chicken quesadillas (they’re ok); chicharrones (crunchy and warm but I think from a bag — correct me if I’m wrong); elote bowl was “pretty good”. Rum runner was very good (not frozen) Service was great. Atmosphere good, isn’t the same, but all fabulous things must come to an end and so with the 80s & 90s tiki bar on Islamorada. The new one is definitely worth a stop. I came down to the keys today for this place only…glad I did. To the owners and managers…I get it…it’s a beautiful remake but for this old Buffeter I miss the old days at the Kokomo Tiiki Hut PS. The bathrooms fared VERY well with the refurb. Very clean and modern!!

This place has gone through many phases. I’ve come here since the early 2000’s Have to say the welcome staff and service were excellent, the views were incredible, and the ambience was super relaxing. The food though could have used, some help as well as the drinks. Would I come again? Sure, it’s an iconic place… but I’ll explore my options next time.

We sat outside by the water as the weather was beautiful which accompanied our visit and delicious meal. From the moment we sat down, David our server, was attentive and courteous. He brought our drinks, appetizers and meal with a smile. Shout out to the amazing executive chef Steve! He spoke to some of the guests and treated us like family. The food was delicious and great portion sizes. We will definitely visit again. You should stop by too!

We visited here during the week at around 1PM to have lunch. The place was moderate ly busy, but we were still able to be seated quickly, even getting to opportunity to choose our table if preference. The service was great and the food was fresh and delicious! The atmosphere was amazing, sat outside and enjoyed the breeze and the view of ocean. I'm definitely going back there the next time I'm in Key Largo.

The location is just perfect! The service though is really lacking. Took a while to even be seen by the hostess then they continued a conversation with an en employee. Once we were seated the waitress was nice. It took forever to get food though and she started to not come back to check on us. The food was good. The jambalaya is to die for! The lack of key west pinks as a shrimp option was disappointing. When you are charging that much for a fried shrimp basket I would expect to have something other than farm raised frozen shrimp.

An absolutely amazing dining experience! The food was incredible, with the lobster mac and cheese and the HUGE shrimp burger being must-try standouts all worth the price. The location is perfect for families, sitting right by the water with an amazing view, you can even rent jet skis! To top it all off, the service was impeccable. Our waiter was fantastic, and we even had the pleasure of meeting the head chef Steve, who was super accommodating and ensured all our needs were met. Highly recommend!

Lovely way to spend an evening in Key Largo! Erlan was a fantastic server and the atmosphere is great. I had the coconut shrimp and husband had the cheeseburger and LOVED it! Come and enjoy!

We came all the way from Atlanta and seattle and tell me why David, Gave us such great service provided us with menu details and recommendations! Then Stebe The sous chef came out and totally gave us amazing hospitality, and recommended fish Preferences since they were out of hog fish, but we did get a hot fish, a triple fish, and a yellowtail hands-down, the mahi-mahi bites and everything was great! They recommended a Keylime pie, which was the perfect tart and sweetness! My family…. Satisfying in a full Of deliciousness in the ballet, I would recommend this place!, Especially since we had a 2 Hour Dr., they turned into a 3 1/2 hour drive. Thank you, snapper and thank you David and Steve!!! From full and satisfied belly!

Really enjoyed this very "Keysey" waterfront dining experience! I was working nearby as a Wedding DJ in Key Largo/Tavernier , for a destination wedding, and sooo glad I stopped in! Let's start with the relaxing views and vibe, which are not to be missed. Then there was the warm, friendly service courtesy of Amanda & Katy, which adds to the experience. Even met Chef Floyd who was caf! Lol If you're in a hurry, this is not the best choice, as it's really laid back and relaxed, and service can be slow, yet it's a "so what" typa thing. Come and relax. Food was really tasty. I had the Mahi sandwich on very tasty home made multi grain bread (although menu said it was whole wheat). Fries were golden brown and cooked to perfection. Second visit had tasty Mahi Bites and the dipping sauce made it even tastier! Had a side of tostones which were also tasty, golden brown and crunchy! There's live entertainment 7 nights a week and they add daytime entertainment on weekends as well. Highly recommend! Come, relax, and enjoy!! It's a lil off the main road and easy to miss, but don't miss it!

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

This brewery has an incredible atmosphere and a one-of-a-kind style! They offer a fantastic variety of beers and great music, making it the perfect spot to relax and enjoy time with friends and family.

such a cute spot!! must visit, great vibes, funny signs, live music and friendly bartenders. so funky and colorful and taco food truck outside if you get hungry. epitome of florida keys right here

Im not a beer drinker but we stopped in anyway and I'm sure glad we did! Indoor space, outdoor space with live music and taco food truck. If you want yo see colorful florida key colors, this is the spot!

Lou the bartender was awesome—super friendly and made great recommendations. The beers were on point, the tacos were delicious, and the live music setup in the back adds a great touch. Definitely worth a visit!

Stopped in on our way down to Key West. Nice clean location with a variety of brews on tap. Had a band playing while we there as well as a taco truck. Iguana bait was delicious. Kid friendly. Kids had a blast looking for iguanas on the back deck area. Worth the stop!

We absolutely LOVE this place! If you’re heading to Islamorada and looking for a laid-back, colorful, and authentically local spot to unwind, Florida Keys Brewing Co. is an absolute must-visit. Tucked away in the Morada Way Arts District, this funky little brewery captures the spirit of the Keys perfectly—easygoing, vibrant, and full of character. From the moment you walk in, the tropical atmosphere draws you in. The beer garden is a highlight—bright murals, island vibes, and string lights make it feel like you’re hanging out in your coolest friend’s backyard. Inside, the taproom is equally artsy and welcoming, filled with local artwork and a friendly staff that’s passionate about their craft. The beer? Excellent. They have a diverse selection on tap, often rotating, so there’s always something new to try. Standouts include the Hoppy Bay IPA, the refreshing Smuggler’s Moon wheat beer, and the Key Lime Pie Tart, which is a must-try if you want a taste that’s uniquely Florida Keys. If you’re not sure where to start, a flight is a great option—and the staff is more than happy to make recommendations. Live music, food trucks, and a genuinely local crowd make it more than just a place to grab a drink—it’s a full-on experience. Whether you’re a craft beer enthusiast or just looking to relax with a cold one after a day on the water, FKBC delivers. Final Verdict: 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 (5/5) A hidden gem in Islamorada that perfectly blends great beer, good vibes, and the true spirit of the Keys.

Hidden Gem. Great beer and great staff. A ton of different options on craft beer and also many other bar drinks. Taco truck in the parking lot. The atmosphere is amazing, you walk out of the back door into an awesome shaded patio area. Art gallery also in the back. This spot doesn’t look like much from the road, but once you walk in the door you will be happy you did.

What an awesome experience! Just the grounds alone are so cool and full of fun little photo ops, it has a very chill island vibe feel. Feeding the tarpon was a cool experience as well, earlier in the day there were even nurse sharks near the dock. The restaurant was perfect! We got to sit right next to the water and the locals even shared some of their knowledge with us. Our waiters name was Chris (I believe, if I’m wrong I apologize) and he was top notch! Just one of the coolest nicest guys around. He recommended dishes for us and made sure we were very well taken care of. There were some mosquitoes and noseeum’s out and he even offered us some bug spray. Our food was beyond phenomenal, I can’t say enough about it. We had everything from shrimp, to local caught fish, to chicken and it was all perfection. The young girl in the shop was so sweet and even introduced us to the manager (a cat). Everything about this place was just perfect. We will definitely be back everytime we’re in the area!

Great stop in Islamorada! Can grab a beer and feed the tarpon which are huge! Very exciting for all ages. Entry is cheap and fully worth it. Also little shops and just great vibes all around. A must see! Went end of October so it was not busy at all.

Really cool stop along the highway to get out and eat, rest your feet, and see some cool stuff. Feeding the sharks was a really cool experience. You can buy a bucket of fish and it might seem gimmicky on the website, but I did find it worth it. Especially if you have kids, it’s a great interactive experience and memory. There are tons of shops and ice cream trucks and a restaurant if you’re looking for food or just a change of scenery and some shade.

Robbie’s is a must-stop in the Keys if you’re looking for adventure and a true local vibe. Feeding the giant tarpon is the highlight—an experience you won’t forget. They leap right out of the water and it’s exciting for both kids and adults. Beyond that, you can rent kayaks, go on snorkeling or fishing trips, or just enjoy the waterfront views. The place also has small shops and stalls around, which makes it fun to walk around, grab a souvenir, or pick up something local. The on-site restaurant and bar are lively, serving good food and drinks with a laid-back Keys atmosphere. It can get busy, but that’s part of the charm. Overall, Robbie’s is more than just a stop—it’s a full experience with activities, food, shopping, and views all in one spot.

Popped in as had seen good reviews. Didn’t disappoint. Glad we stopped, lovely few market stalls / shops to look around then paid to see tarpons being fed and pelicans stealing the fish. Didn’t eat here but food smelled lovely.

So I have to say feeding the tarpon at Robbie‘s was absolutely an amazing experience. The food was good but Taste like every other restaurant nothing stood out to be oh I go back for this food I would definitely go back to feed the tarpon to take friends to see it and the little shops they have out. Front of the restaurant are really awesome. Just the whole experience in general was absolutely amazing but I wouldn’t tell you to just stop there for the food, but definitely go check out the tarpon you’ll have a blast.

This was recommended to us by one of the locals. It was absolutely brilliant and I totally recommend. You buy a bucket of fish for $5 and you can feed the tarpon. Great fun. You can stop for food, drink, browse shops. A definite tourist stop recommendation

Very busy weekend night and they were packed but ended up getting 2 bar seats and a bit loud in there but great music on the juke box and bartenders did their best and soe of the best fish dip ever and the pizza was great!! Definitely be back!!

The Whistle Stop in Islamorada is an absolute gem! A true hole-in-the-wall bar with unbeatable vibes and some of the best pizza I’ve ever had, crispy, flavorful, and unforgettable. The staff is friendly, the atmosphere is laid-back, and it feels like a local secret you’re lucky to find. Perfect stop in the Keys, can’t wait to come back for more!

Amazing Experience! Years of traveling through the area It was our first time stopping in for pizza! FRESH and very TASTY!!!!!! We stop in not realizing the pizza side didn't open til 5pm. A gentleman that was on the inside seen us at the door and came out and said that we can go through the bar side and order the 🍕 What a delight! This will definitely be a monthly Pitt-Stop!

Great pub in Islamorada. They’ve got 3 pool tables which were in pretty good shape. We didn’t eat there but we saw others getting food and all looked quite yummy. Great selection of drinks and even have a juke box which was a nice addition. Bartenders are friendly and helpful. Many tvs to watch the news or sport channels. Highly recommend.

Great locals joint, Lauren is the best! Give them your money!

Small unpretentious bar with great pizza and nice people. Usually have the regular double pepperoni round but today tried the Chicago. First time I could only eat 2 pieces! Will order again… Hard not to get the pizza, so on Taco Tuesday we tried beef tacos shown - great! My husband then ordered one Tuna Taco to top off his tank and said that was the best taco he ever had. I tried the cheeseburger which was cooked perfect as I requested and was also good. They also have a dart board, pool tables, and plenty of TVs for sports. Very nice bartenders!

Great place, we got there and Matt the bartender was working. Really nice guy, good drinks. We mainly went there for the deep dish Chicago style Pizza, and that was soooo good! Check it out, btw, don't be scared by it, outside is not the fanciest, inside is bar and billiards. But the vibes and food is great!

Beautiful spot with stunning ocean views—perfect for a photo op! I wouldn’t recommend eating at the seafood buffet, but the marina itself is absolutely worth a visit! ➡️ Follow us on Socials for more detailed travel tips & restaurant reviews @ @Sweet_Southern_Living

So beautiful, so serene. Whale harbor seafood buffet and rooftop are beyond pictures and words. If there were a picture of Heaven this sunset and colors need are only a glimpse. So stunning.

The ambience was really nice but we were very disappointed with the food based on how everyone was raving about the place. Everything was just bland and tasteless

Aways a fun time when you visit, especially if you visit one of the Restaurants/Bars and Charter a sport fishing boat with one of the great captains. Our favorite is Captain Jack with Shake and Bait!

Great Place to jave a all you can eat seafood lunch they habe sandbar upstairs

Absolutely terrible. The food tasted like it had been reheated from the day before. My order was wrong twice, and no one apologized. The bathroom was filthy, and the whole place smelled bad. Save your money — there are much better restaurants nearby. Pretty similar at the a simple All you can eat Chinese restaurant, This was one of the worst dining experiences I’ve had in a long time. The food was cold, bland, and clearly not fresh. The service she was super nice.and the Definitely would not recommend this restaurant to anyone.and to expensive for the food quality.

Best jet ski tour for your money, hands down. Fun staff, our tour lasted longer than we paid for, they took us to see stuff that we would have never found by ourselves.

Stopped into SandBar on my last night of vacation, AND it just so happened to be trivia night! 6:30pm-8pm on Thursdays is trivia at SandBar. My bartender, Jen, was so accommodating and kind- she made my weird drink request no problem. (Ask Jen for a sweet tea mojito 😉) I got the 1/2 order of nachos, which were plentiful. Plenty of menu options for everyone and reasonable prices to boot. Happy hour lasts up until 7pm on Thursdays, and apparently on Fridays they do a crazy deal on appetizers and drinks. All in all a great place to stop in for views, deals, and friendly service!

Rockefeller oysters are amazing here, didn’t see any prior reviews before coming here, it was on a whim, great place, vibes, and drinks!

Nice deck seating over looking the ocean. Had some live music which made for some good atmosphere. Food was ok, service a little slow but friendly.

Great service, great food, great views. Fun stop before heading out of the Keys.

My wife and I stopped here for a late afternoon drink just to check it out in mid-July 2025. It's somewhat new (less than 18 months since our last visit to Islamorda), and it's not very well advertised on road signage. It also sits right above a "Buffet" restaurant, and I think that tends to deter a lot of people who avoid people who frequent buffet restaurants. You have to hike up about 30 stairs to get up to the bar, but once there, it has a spectacular view of the adjacent Whale Harbor, the famous Islamorada (Holiday Isle) Sand Bar, and the Atlantic Ocean. On the afternoon of our visit, it was somewhat rainy and overcast, and we had already had a filling late lunch so we didn't order any food. We just ordered a drink and sat at the bar, and we were the only ones in the whole place except for a family sitting at one of the tables along the patio railing. The bar tender was a Cuban immigrant and very polite, friendly and professional. We go to Islamorada on vacation every year, so next year, we will probably go here for a lunch or casual dinner if the weather is nice and sunny. Until then, I can only rate it with 4 stars for its wonderful view and good bar service. It's actually got a better view than the Whale Harbor "Wahoo's" bar next door.

If you're looking for one of the best ocean views in Islamorada, The Sandbar is a must visit! The atmosphere is perfect — not too crowded, and the live music adds a great touch without being overwhelming. The real standout, though, is bartender Carlos. He’s an absolute gem — friendly, attentive, and always makes you feel right at home. Highly recommend this spot for a relaxing, enjoyable time by the water!

What better view than this? Check out the Rooftop Sandbar at Whale Harbor. The atmosphere is amazing, huge bar, plenty of seating and lots of great live entertainment. Food is always good, with specials that can be hard to beat. Your Ocean view of the world famous Islamorada Sandbar, watch boats coming in and out of Whale Harbor Marina.
