“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!”

“Great place for smoothies and lattes and adorable furry friends!”

“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.”

“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.”

“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!”

“Barmaiden Elizabeth was fun knowledgable and amazing. Welcoming, professional and exceptional at explaining both craft beer selections and the menu. Herbies lucky to have her.”

“DELICIOUS! FRESH! The OTH sauce for dipping the yellowtail fingers amazing. Their homemade potato chip crumbs in the breading made the yellowtail fingers extra crispy...yum! I'll be back soon for the wonderful breakfast sandwiches! Thanks for the wonderful lunch!”

“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!”

“What happened to the ocoee location we loved it and then now it's under new onwership in like 2 weeks ??”

“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.”

“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”

“Great food Awesome service!! thank you!!”

“We spent the night in Marathon, and the next morning, I was in need of a good coffee to kick-start the day. A quick search led me to The Marketplace, which had coffee on their menu and seemed like a great option for a morning pick-me-up.

The Marketplace was just a 5-minute drive from where we were staying, and finding parking nearby was easy and hassle-free. As I stepped inside, I was immediately impressed by the inviting ambiance. The space was not just a coffee spot but a versatile marketplace offering a variety of items for purchase, including food, coffee, beer, and even home decor.

From the menu, I decided to go with a classic Latte served hot. The service was efficient, and my coffee was ready within 5-10 minutes. With coffee in hand, I was quickly back on my way to continue the day.

The latte was everything I needed in the morning--freshly brewed with a smooth, rich flavor. It had just the right balance of creaminess and a hint of sweetness, as it wasn't overly sugary, which suited my preference perfectly.

Overall, The Marketplace was a convenient and delightful find. The great coffee, welcoming atmosphere, and variety of offerings make it worth a stop for anyone staying in or passing through Marathon. It was the perfect start to my morning.”
