“Bongos Beer Garden is a true hidden gem in the Keys, and I’m so glad we stumbled upon it! From the moment we walked in, the laid-back atmosphere and great music made it the perfect place to unwind. It has that ideal Florida Keys vibe — casual, welcoming, and full of character. The food here blew me away. The quinoa salad was honestly one of the best I’ve ever had — super fresh with bold flavors, and the candied walnuts gave it that perfect sweet crunch. I also loved the tuna bowl; it was packed with fresh ingredients, and the edamame added a great texture and flavor balance.

What really set this place apart was the fun family-friendly setup — they had a floating water pad for kids to play on, which was such a cool touch. We even got to watch people wakeboarding nearby, adding to the laid-back, adventurous energy of the whole place. Whether you’re looking for a spot to chill with friends, entertain the family, or just enjoy some really great food in a cool setting, Bongos delivers. It quickly became my favorite spot in the Keys, and we can’t wait to come back again soon!”

“Tried them at Pigeon Key, and the family was HOOKED! Made a special stop in Marathon to grab a variety!”

“The food is great but the waitress Erica is amazing. She brightens my day every time I eat there.”

“A group of 6 of us had a fabulous dinner here last night. Had reservations and were seated immediately when we got there. Linda our server was witty and clever, but never too familiar. She did an excellent job, of talking us through the specials. 5 out of the 6 of us ordered specials. Everything was delicious. A few of us ordered desserts. Not sure why, we were so stuffed by the portions. There were plenty of to go boxes. 😂”

“Absolutely the best restaurant in the area and to die for key lime pie 🥧 Our waitress Stacy was 5 stars! Drinks are amazing, food off the charts and prices are great.”

“Ice cream is rich and creamy with a ton of great diverse flavors. Fun signage and options add some variety to the aesthetic. Key lime pie is so thick and dense and the whipped topping is fresh and flavorful. Really one of the the best pies I've had in the keys. S'mores cookie was gooey and soft with the perfect ratio of marshmallow and chocolate. Cost is reasonable against portion sizes and the little shop and seating is clean and abundant. Def a must stop in marathon.”

“Best dive bar in the Keys!!! Connie, Kris, Dave, Kristin and Renee are the BEST bar keepers in the Key's! Local spot, super fun. Pool tables, dart board, dominoes. Pizza, pretzels, movie theater popcorn... Who could ask for more!! Love owner John (and family) who keeps this place alive!! 10 stars across the board. GO EAGLES 😆”

“Got some pizza today and it was absolutely delicious. The staff was BEYOND kind and gave us a wonderful experience. Definitely stop by if you're in the Keys! ??”

“We love Sparky's! We usually visit at least 2-3x during our annual trip to the Keys. Their Key Lime Pie is the very best, EVER! Surely this pie has won them awards! Sadly, it will be another 11 mos before we'll be back... Sparky's will be our first stop!”

“The best coffee and the greatest service. My coffee is ready and handed to me before I even get to the window. They even give my little Daisy Duke dog treats everyday. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

“It was our first time eating there,,service was lacking a lot,,we had to ask for refills, she did leave a pitcher of water then. We ordered the lasagna dinner that comes with a side salad so we ordered another regular salad since we were splitting the meal. The side salad was pitiful, it came on a coffee saucer it looked like,the regular salad was a good size. For $24 the side salad should have been the same size as the extra salad. She brought our food and we sat there waiting on the bread,,,she comes back by and informed us bread was extra,,,really, I’ve never had a meal at any restaurant where you had to pay extra for bread, most will bring you more if you eat what they served you the first time. The upside was the lasagna was good.”

“I got the smoked fish dip and it was a 10 , delicious”

“Love this place! We’ve been coming here many times throughout the years and enjoy the atmosphere and delicious food! Our ONLY issue here has been one specific, rude waitress. Today was the 2nd time we’ve had her as our waitress. First time (last year) she attended our families, we noticed she was rude, but gave her the benefit of the doubt, figuring she was having a bad day. But today, she was being extremely rude, unprofessional and seemed annoyed. She treated our kids poorly and treated the adults like kids. I’d still recommend this place, but please be aware not to have TANIA as your waitress!”

“Perfect place to relax and unwind! Love the staff!! Always friendly and welcoming! Special shout out to Leigh, Chad, Victoria, John and the desk ladies!”
