“Stumbled upon this place while looking for somewhere to eat. Parking was tight and we had to walk a little bit. But this small establishment was such an unexpected delight! We had food that we have never had before. The flavors were out of this world! We were fortunate to meet the owner/cook and tell him how pleased we were with everything. It was a little loud there while friends carried on conversations with the owner, but I think that was to be expected possibly due to the culture. Fantastic French and Creole Cuisine in addition to America. Beer and Wine are available. We so love this place and will visit again if we get a chance to return to the keys. Many Blessings to Delice and Christela and their families for 2026.”

“A & B Lobster House 700 Front St., Key West, FL 33040 4 Stars Ah, the Conch Republic. How can you not love the Key West even if it is a tourist trap. It is our tourist trap. Any place Papa Hemingway lived has to be cool. Opened 70 years ago by good friends Alonzo Cothron & Berlin Fleton, A & B Lobster House has become a Key West Waterfront icon in what is now A & B Marina. They have expanded over the decades to include a slew of eateries. Upon entering the abode, I almost thought I had stepped into an atelier; the place was so pristine and classic-looking. Michelle was the server today, and she was more or less what one expects from a place that bills itself as "fine dining." She was knowledgeable, polite, and professional. I asked for one Old Fashioned from Berlin's Bar, some Beef Carpaccio, and a New York Strip (Blackened and medium-rare) with a Caribbean Lobster Tail. Relaxing in the atmosphere of Key West, I was almost lost in the comforting arms of Hypnos when Michelle brought forth our fare. First, the Old Fashioned was made by someone who obviously knew what they were doing as it was delicious. I then turned my attention to the order of Beef Carpaccio. I learned from Michelle that the "fresh baked" part of this was neither fresh nor baked on-site. As I've stated a million times, if a dish involves any bread or pastry product, it has to start with the bread or pastry. If that is off, it throws the whole dish off, which was the case here. A for effort - D for quality. Moving on to the Blackened New York Strip and Caribbean Lobster Tail. Looking at the pictures, you can clearly see that beautiful, blackened crust on the charred bovine. It was cooked to a succulent medium-rare and was extremely tasty on the palate. The accompanying Lobster Tail was delightfully seasoned, grilled to perfection and caused my taste buds to break into a Bruckins as they were freed of crappy food for the nonce. The Carpaccio and bread are a 1, while I found the NY Strip and Lobster Tail to be a 4.5. Hence, the overall rating of a 4 -- giving greater weight to the entree. The Big Boy says, "I'm not sure if there is better dining in tourist trap haven, but it's miles above anything up in Cocoa Beach serving the same feed."”

“Been here a few times, get something new to try each visit. First the coffee is on point strong and delicious.
They have the best bread. So fresh. My wife got the bagel it was a piece of Cuban bread pressed brushed with honey and everything bagel seasoning so good.
You really can't go wrong with their breakfast selection. The sandwiches are large you can share one for sure. Unless your like me and eat the second half just because it is so good.”

“We first discovered Kava Culture - Key West about two years ago. It was just one block from our house, and even though we walked by it countless times, we really had no idea what it was. When we finally decided to go in, we were immediately welcomed by the kava tender, who took the time to thoroughly explain their products, how they work, the different types, flavors, and mixers available. It was a lot to take in at first, but incredibly informative. Over the next few weeks, we sampled different options and eventually found what worked best for us. Personally, I love the Red Vein Kratom. It’s very calming and does an amazing job relieving body pain. It feels similar to taking a pain pill, but without the “loopy” or impaired feeling. I can have a few and still be fully functional and ready to work—if anything, I tend to get more done afterward. I’ve dealt with back pain since an injury at 15 and made a conscious decision years ago to avoid becoming dependent on prescription pain medications. While you can certainly find horror stories online about kratom, like anything else, moderation is key. For us, that means a couple of drinks in the morning, a couple in the afternoon, and maybe one before bed. Neither kratom nor kava makes you feel drunk or out of control—just relaxed, comfortable, and clear-headed enough to take calls, answer emails, and function normally. Because of this, we’ve actually quit drinking alcohol altogether. Beyond the products, what truly sets Kava Culture apart is the sense of community. We live over 1,200 miles from our closest family members, and this place has genuinely become our home away from home. We spend holidays here with potlucks, gift exchanges, board games, and friends who feel like family. It has reinforced our belief that life in Key West really is better. Having a safe, judgment-free place where everyone knows your name means more to us than we can put into words. Highly recommend.”

The juice, though, was amazing.”

This is a healthy alternative to calorie laden meals. Incorporate a few trips to Date and Thyme in your weekly routine and your belly will smile. Mine gets happy with the Blueberry Bliss smoothie, organic apples (quick snack), espresso, the prepared foods (some make a great meal right on premises).

“I highly recommend Irish Kevin’s. However after coming here for over the past 20 years, today May 25,2025 was the worse service we have ever had. We had the laziest waitress ever. Never came around asking if we needed anything. Then there were 3 of us originally and we told her it was 2 & 1 for the check. We then had a bunch of friends show up and she decided it was one check. It was hard to understand her but I don’t think she could understand us. So frustrating. This is my favorite bat in KW but if this happens again it will be our last. The entertainment is always top notch.”

“Have been there twice. Last year was amazing. Everything perfect. This year, the special was prawn (not gulf coast shrimp as specified) and the prawn had the seafood stank, unlike typical fresh seafood. Didn’t want to cause a stink.

“Usually, I go to Salutes at night. However last Friday myself and a good friend met for an afternoon lunch. I have to tell you from the moment we were seated and our server introduced herself the luncheon was spectacular. Mary Jo was so bubbly, excited and energetic that it changed the whole dining experience. She made the lunch fun and all about us. Apparently, Mary Jo works Monday -Friday and that's why I never ran into her before. Make sure you visit and look for her. Barbara Bosco Crespo”

“Just got back from Key West and have to say that we absolutely loved the Celtic Conch. We went back 3 times during our stay and jt immediately felt like our local pub. Stephanie the bartender was so fun & friendly and was a huge reason we kept going back. She gave us recommendations on things to do on our stay and greeted us like we were old friends. The owner was there and very friendly and the music was great. We loved Milo who played there one of the nights. Overall I highly recommend and hope to get back there again sometime.”

“This place is by far one of the best places I have been too in my first journey in the Keys.
Amazingly wonderful atmosphere, fantastic energy and honestly some dazzling girls in drag. Their show was phenomenal, the drinks epic and their confidence was stunning. I've never been to a drag show, and it was the experience of a lifetime.
Additionally, as a transgender person. Seeing them made up and gorgeous tonight was an especially amazing highlight. It gave me the drive to keep moving forward in a fantastic, I don't care what anyone else thinks way. Thank you for that, and I hope everyone who comes here enjoys the show and the bar. Y'all are amazing!”

“Great little food stand at the Windward Hyatt Vacation Club that’s a perfect microcosm of traditional Key West foods! We tried the conch fritters, coconut shrimp, BLT burger, and smoked Gouda mac and cheese bites - everything was absolutely delicious. The woman working the counter was so friendly and pleasant, which made the experience even better. Perfect spot for a tasty bite while staying at the resort and experiencing authentic local flavors. Highly recommend!”

“Super Happy Noodle and Sake Bar
From the very first bite, it feels like a small escape to my beloved Thailand.
The flavors are bold, layered, and deeply authentic — perfectly balanced spice, freshness, and richness that instantly brings back memories of Bangkok street food and cozy Thai evenings.
The noodles are incredible, the broths comforting and aromatic, and every dish feels cooked with intention and love, not just technique. Pair it with sake, and suddenly you’re no longer in Minnesota — you’re somewhere in Southeast Asia, where food is emotion, not just a meal.
This is the kind of place you come to not just to eat, but to feel.
Absolutely delicious — and deeply nostalgic. 🌶️🍜✨”

“Somewhere in that bar, you will find a painted plaque dedicated to Capt Mark Gamble, he and his wife perished on a vessel that was modified in Key West. Captain Paul Worthington was so touched by their story he allowed a painted plaque to be placed in his bar, You as a person from afar are allowed to drink here not knowing the history of the great masters who sat here like Hemmingway and Mel Fisher met their demise thur their love of the ocean. I miss all of these men dearly, I am shedding tears for all as I write this story. You are fortunate to sit in their shadow and consume drinks in a place where only the greatest of men have hollowed. This is not your normal bar, this is a shrine to men who loved the ocean and have perished. You should feel privileged to sit and drink here.”

“We stayed at the DoubleTree the night before our flight out of Key West. We all decided to just eat here at the hotel restaurant, and so glad we did! We opted to eat outside and enjoy our last bit of nice weather before heading home. We ordered a couple of appetizers (quesadilla & nachos) which was plenty for the five of us in our party. For our entrees, everyone ordered something different but we were all pleasantly surprised with just how good our food was. It was honestly probably one of the best meals we ate while vacationing down in the Keys. Aside from the food, our waiter, Bravin, was excellent! He was attentive and fun to talk with. Don’t overlook this restaurant option just because it is in a hotel!”

“This is hands down our favorite restaurant whenever we’re in the Florida Keys — and for good reason. We’ve never had a bad meal or poor service here. This visit was no exception and might’ve been our best yet. I had the crabcakes, which were perfectly crisped on the outside and packed with flavor. My daughter ordered the lobster ravioli and declared it one of the best meals she’s ever had. My husband went with the Caribbean pork chops — moist, tender, and full of island flavor. Even the kids meal impressed us: our grandson’s fish fingers came out looking like a full adult entrée, complete with freshly cut fruit. And yes, everyone wanted a bite of those fish fingers. As for the drinks: the Caribbean Mojito made with Bombarda Culverin Caribbean Rum was refreshing and just strong enough to remind you you’re on vacation. The Million Dollar Conch-A-Rita (their signature top-shelf margarita) with Herradura Blanco, agave, fresh lime juice, and a Grand Marnier float? Worth every dollar. We finished with the hot pineapple upside-down cake — warm, gooey, and absolutely dreamy. And as always, the view of the water is breathtaking. You just can’t beat dinner with a sunset over the sea.”

“What impressed me the most was that I noted in our reservation that we were celebrating a friend's birthday. The hostess and waiter noted that we were celebrating a birthday. At the end of dinner, none of us ordered dessert, but the waiter brought out a complimentary piece of key lime pie with a large sparkler in it and the words Happy Birthday written in chocolate on the plate - a class act. At most restaurants, one has to ask for this type of amenity. In this case, it was unexpected and welcome.”

“Baby’s Grill is a must stop on your way to & fro Key West. It’s no lie the best food we ate in The Keys. It’s a food truck next to Baby’s Coffee serving up a menu of American favorites. There’s plenty of parking and tables to sit. We got Étouffée, a Philly Cheesesteak and fries with Coral Aioli. Everything was incredible and masterfully crafted. The food was made with love and serious flavor that truly satisfied. The Coral Aioli is other worldly and will knock your socks right off. Don’t take my word for it, go and see for yourself. 👀🔥🪸”
