“We tried the tostones (fried plantains)--they were crisp and delicious. Be sure to ask about the dip, they initially gave us a non-vegan aioli. They brought us a tasty chimichurri sauce instead. Fun environment, friendly servers. Updated from previous review on 2026-01-05”

“I did takeout. Great customer service, Amazing food. I had adobo ribs with refried beans,rice and salad,sooo good. Beef soup was amazing and the chicken tostada was delish. Gotta try the Horchata a milky rice drink with cinnamon. I'll be back.”

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

“Had some coffee this morning. fantastic. Also, their eggs/sausage breakfast was good, pastries were loved by the wife and kids, including the croquetas which were new to us. nice small business to support.”

“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.”

“Tried Pop’s Smoke Shed for the first time today as they were posted up next to the Bronson barbershop and lord we did not expect what we received! Usually with food trucks you get mediocre small Togo boxes of food. The Togo boxes from Pop’s were packed full almost overflowing with such mouthwatering BBQ, my husband is one of the pickets BBQ people you’d ever meet he hardly eats it he’s so picky about it but he couldn’t stop raving over his meal. There was enough in all of our plates that my whole family all only ate half our meals and was able to put the other halves away for later! You definitely receive your bang for your buck! And we hope we see Pop’s Smoke Shed around Bronson more often! 1000/10 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

“Stopped by and grabbed several things to cook for dinner. Great customer service and the absolute best tartar sauce on the planet!”

“O…M…G! This place is amazing! Great Bloody Mary’s, the BEST onion rings we have ever had, portion sizes are huge, food is awesome and great service! You will NOT be disappointed!”

“We were visiting and a local recommended Franks! The best Italian food I have had! Chicken Alfredo is my go to and this was to notch!”

“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!”

“This place was so fun! We were staying in Marathon for the week and wanted a place to watch the Cleveland Browns. It’s just like the reviews say, little dive bar. Cheep cold beer in cans or bottles, various liquor and super great locals. We all cheered for our teams, laughed and they welcomed our group. You can have food delivered from local places.”

“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! ??”

“Great poolside service! You can find the classic island drinks, on the rocks and frozen. They offer canned drinks as well. There's also some frozen treats for the little ones and those needing a non-alcoholic refresh.”

“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!”
