“Celebrated my 30th birthday here and it was by far the best food we ate in Key West. We ordered the Asiago bread and squid for our appetizers. The squid was FABULOUS!!! I’ve been craving it since! For dinner we did the wahoo, swordfish, prime rib and chicken. All of which we were each raving about to each other! The atmosphere was dimmed candle lit tables and our server was great! Highly recommend for anyone wanting to taste high end food and it be up to par! Will definitely be back!”

“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."”

“Great Breakfast sandwiches with many,many different choices on the menu.
I had the “KeyWester” and loved it so much I drove out of my way to go back and have it again the next day.
The portions are large enough to split and feel full when you’re finished.
They have an extensive lunch menu as well.
If your down that way, give them a try, you will not be disappointed.👍👍👍👍👍”

“We stayed down the block at a AirBnB so naturally got coffee and breakfast our first morning. It was so delicious we ate breakfast there every morning except for one (we had to leave for the ferry before they opened, so we ate dinner there that night!) All the food was amazing! Well seasoned, fresh, flavorful, and portions were huge! The coffee was perfect, I really loved the cortadito and milk espreso. The staff was friendly and offered recommendations if needed.”

“Best coffee shop in the planet! We went in and placed an order on an extremely busy day (the day of the airshow) with kids in tow. We were waiting a fair amount of time and the owner came up to me with kind words, pushed the order along, and even threw in a free muffin. Everything we got was DELICIOUS! You could tell by the conversations that they are beloved members of the community, which warms my heart. We will definitely be back every time we head south! ❤️”

I fell in love when the gal told me she made all the treats herself and all their packaging was biodegradable. The coffee was phenomenal, like nothing I’ve ever had before. I wish I lived close enough to have it regularly”

“Mo's is a quiet, unassuming, off the beaten path, gem of a find! Friendly atmosphere and the food was excellent. We had the escargot with mushrooms, the oxtail and the shrimp creole. They were all wonderful but that shrimp creole was an amazing explosion of so many flavors! Hands down the best food in Key West! The only downfall was that we found this on our last evening in town and wasted time in some other restaurants first. We can't wait to come back and try everything else!”

“After a morning of snorkeling we headed her for lunch. Getting to the restaurant looked a little sketchy but once we were there it seemed OK. I had. hard time understanding the waitress and ended up ordering three appetizers somehow. All three were delicious though. I asked if they had a kids menu when we were seated and he said yes but the waitress would let us know. When asked about the kids menu she said they didnt have any. We got 3 chicken sandwiches, 2 fish and chips and 2 cheeseburgers. While the food was fantastic the service was lacking a bit. We didn't get any refills. The gentleman that brought our food out helped us more then the waitress did. Loved the atmosphere. Light music playing with the view of water but it was nice and cool inside. You have the option to sit outside as well. I would go back for sure.”

“I came for Fantasy Fest and stayed 6 days and had a great time. This was my first time staying as a guest even though I'd visited for the day the previous Fantasy Fest. Every one was very friendly especially the staff. I especially want to thank Ivan and Angel who were the best bartenders/servers I could ask for and Jordan at the Front Desk who always answered all of my many questions and made sure I always felt welcome. The food menu was very impressive and you can always get a quick, inexpensive and tasty meal at any time of the day or night. There were many cute guys too of course on full display and they give guests 4 free drinks during happy hour so it's hard to not have a great time here. I definitely hope to be back. :)”

“This place is always my default go to burger joint when I let time slip away from me and everything else is closed before I realize it, I can always count on The Burger Den to come through 24/7! I personally love their burgers and breakfast dishes late night ?.
Vegetarian options: I don't know much, just know they have options.
Kid-friendliness: I know they have kids menus.
Parking: Located in a shopping center so plenty of parking, no worries.
Wheelchair accessibility: They have a ramp.”

“5 Stars – Kindness Lives Here! Kava Culture in Key West is more than just a kava bar – it’s a place filled with genuinely good humans. After a stressful evening of losing my wallet while walking home, I was beyond relieved when the amazing team here found it and kept it safe for me until I could return. When we walked in the next day, I was greeted with warm smiles, positive energy, and a welcoming vibe that instantly made me feel better. We sat at the bar and the staff took the time to patiently explain the kava experience and the different beverages they offer. It’s clear they care about what they do and the people who walk through their doors. The vibe is cool, chill, and inviting – exactly the kind of place you want to unwind and feel at home. I HIGHLY recommend this business. Choose kindness always – they do, and it does not go unnoticed. Thank you, Kava Culture!”

“I’ve driven by The Corner Sandwich Shop in Key West many times over my last vacation and every time, I noticed locals lined up or picking up sandwiches. That’s always a good sign, so on this trip, I made it a point to stop by—and I’m glad I did!
This is a true walk-up window spot, with a handful of outdoor counter seats and a menu posted on boards flanking the order window. Simple, unassuming, and exactly the kind of local gem you hope to find on vacation.
I ordered the steak sandwich and it was perfect. A generous portion, packed with flavor and great texture. The griddled beef was tender and savory, paired with grilled onions, melted cheese, fresh tomato, and the unexpected crunch of potato sticks—an amazing touch that brought everything together.
My wife and kids tried the Cuban sandwich and absolutely devoured it. What stood out was the way the pork was reheated—seared on the grill for a bit of crispy texture before being tucked into the sandwich. That little detail made a big difference in both flavor and mouthfeel.
It’s clear why the locals keep coming back. Great food, quick service, and zero fuss. If you’re in Key West and craving a satisfying sandwich, don’t miss this spot.”

“It has such a cool vibe, the staff were super friendly and professional and the food and drinks were so fresh and delicious on top of being really gorgeous! 💗 I also loved the added touch of the dog bowls on the side walk, MANY dogs stooped to grab and quick drink. I recommend 10/10 !”

“If you’re in Key West and haven’t tried Wasacaca, you’re truly missing out on a hidden gem! This food truck serves the most incredible authentic Venezuelan food, and it’s run by the kindest and friendliest person you’ll ever meet, Neilee. My favorite thing to order is the chicken cachapas! They’re absolutely out of this world – perfectly cooked, loaded with flavor, and just the right balance of savory and sweet from the corn pancake. It’s comfort food at its finest. I highly recommend trying them! Neilee’s dedication to authentic flavors shines in every bite, and it’s clear she pours her heart into every dish. Whether you’re a local or just passing through, make it a priority to stop by Wasacaca – you won’t regret it!”

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). There is ample seating and shade to keep you cool. Be cool my friends!”

“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.”

I definitely recommend this wine shoppe if you are in Key West.”

“OUTSTANDING!! OUTSTANDING!! OUTSTANDING!! Only way to describe my recent experience at Chef Richie’s Lola’s Bistro. Incredible dinner with amazing sauces. Everything was great from start to finish. Will definitely eat here again. Two seatings 6:00 & 8:00. It’s BYOB. Best meal I’ve had in a long time. This place is a home run. Make sure to call ahead for reservations.”

“Fast, fresh delivery. Visiting the area and pleased to have such delicious food delivered so quickly! Spinach samosas were hot and steamy upon arrival and delicious. Falafel and gyro platter come with fresh roasted vegetables- a nice, fresh non-fried choice in the keys”

“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. Way overpaid IMO, we’ll be back about a 50:50 shot. Wasn’t busy? Perhaps off season? Idk.”

“Excellent food, above average friendly service and a warm cozy atmosphere! Spaghetti & meatballs and eggplant parm were both plentiful & delicious! Cool little bar, not a bad seat in the place! Looking forward to coming back again next year.”

“Extremely overpriced food. Worst sloppy joe sandwich I've had in my life! certainly not worth $15.49 and NO SIDES included. Small, and not much filling, I've had better at a church picnic! Drinks are no better than anywhere else. Party atmosphere, but if you want good food and decent portions for REASONABLE prices, look elsewhere.”

“My husband and I were there tonight. We were at your restaurant 12 years ago and we had the Soul Mama soup then and I had to go back while in Key West to have it again. Even in 100 degree weather I had to order me some soul mama soup. The lobster special was very tempting, but I couldn’t pass up my favorite. Thank you for keeping Soul Mama on the menu ❤️🎉”

“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”

Every single staff member we were in contact with was friendly, gracious, and beyond accommodating! Special shout out to Felix and Lisa! The rooms were beautiful… So clean, large, with great views, and the beds were super comfortable! Our son goes to school and lives in Key West so we are down there often… This was our first time at the Capitana and definitely not our last! From here on out we will stay nowhere else! I have been telling people and will continue to tell everyone I know that this is the best place to stay in Key West!”

We tried the conch fritters, coconut shrimp, BLT burger, and smoked Gouda mac and cheese bites - everything was absolutely delicious.

Steak House • $$
“Duffy’s was recommended by a local and while it was good I wouldn’t say great. I opted for the surf and turf and the sirloin was tender and delicious, melted in your mouth. The lobster however had no flavor and was over cooked. The baked potato was just ok, but we all know it’s not hard to cook a baked potato. The service was friendly and quick and they got us right in. Maybe it was an off night, you decide!”

“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.”
