“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!”

“AMAZING!!!! Had dinner as a last minute decision, and we were completely impressed with Barracuda Grill. We all had the special, lobster scallop and shrimp linguini. Salads were great, entrees were top notch, and the staff were really friendly. Highly recommended.”

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

“Wow! This restaurant, the food and the customer service were amazing! My family had been vacationing down in Marathon for about a week and we had yet to find a good restaurant. We tried out all of the other recommended places that were supposedly very delicious and we were not very impressed. They all tasted like cheap bar food. We found this restaurant just from a Google search and it had good reviews so we figured we would give it a try. It’s very hard to find a restaurant that all five people in my family can say that they loved without a shadow of a doubt, but this place is it. We tried a whole bunch of different menu items and every single thing was amazing! From the Cubans, the oxtail, the cheeseburger, the coquette and milkshakes. It was so good that we are actually considering going back tonight for dinner when we were just there today for lunch. We spoke with one of the family members that owns the restaurant and he was so great! Explained the different menu items to us when we weren’t sure what they were. I can’t say enough good things about this restaurant. Skip the big fancy chain restaurants and eat here next time you won’t regret it!”

“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.”

“Been coming here for the last 3 years and we love this place the food is awesome and our server Kris is the best we ask for him every time we come”

“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. 😂”

“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.”

“Wonderful restaurant, with the best of everything....food, ambiance, service and drinks. You don't always need to be on the water to enjoy dining in the Keys. Plaza Grill is always a great choice, their menu and specials are always good.”

“I would 100% recommend you go and git a cold beer, a burger and the famous french-fries.”

“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 is the nicest shop in Marathon! We were eating at a nearby restaurant and stopped in to check out this store. Delicious gelato and beautiful merchandise with a huge selection. The staff was so very friendly. We showed up a few minutes before closing time and they treated us like they had just started their shift. Sandra has the warmest and friendliest attitude and we have not encountered customer service that great in a very long time. She’s a keeper and we hope to see her again on our next visit.”

“The food was absolutely amazing!! Hogfish, Pompano & Tile Fish was absolutely delicious! Lion fish and Surf & Turf Sushi was the best I’ve had. Side note, our server Brittany was one of the best servers I have had ever!!”
