Restaurants in Marathon

“What a great taco stand! So fresh, delicious and the staff are so, so friendly. I strongly recommend as I felt these were the best tacos in all the Keys! Reasonable pricing too!”

“We have been coming for years now and it is one of the best parts of our vacation every year! Amazing vegan food and chickens running around… what more could you ask for? My little one asks to visit all the time and honestly we have thought about taking the 4 hour turn and burn it’s so good! 😊 We tried the tofu today and it was legit! I dream about the coconut ice cream and the sugar cane lemonade! Hope to be visiting for many years to come! You guys do an amazing job!!”

“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.”

“We had a blast on the Rhum Runner! Spent an hour running, jumping and having fun on the obstacle course. Great activity for burning some energy while staying cool with being able to jump in the water! Gorgeous little gardens, cool surf shop and a great little bistro/bar. The plantain chips and fresh salsa were amazing.”

“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.”

“Hottest place in town… Literally”

“This place was recommended by the bartender at our resort. When I saw it was located in a strip mall I did not have high hopes. But everything was beyond excellent. We watched the Eagles game and got a few football specials. My kids each got a burger that they raved about. I had blackened tuna bites that were amazing!!! We will be back next trip!!”

“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!”

“What a hidden gem, quiet, great views, incredible service, the food also great, for an affordable hotel you can’t ask for more. If you want to unwind and relax without sharing with too many guests, this is the place for you”

“We had a delicious dinner- lovely restaurant and great service -every course was freshly made and wonderful! Pricey but worth every penny . Fresh muddled mango mojito- the best 👍👍”

“The food and staff are fantastic! We had the best experience with the chef while we were sitting at the counter. 10/10 recommend!”

“Very attentive staff. I order online and they always have it ready when I get there in 10 minutes. Really well made sandwiches. Working for at&t a quick lunch is a necessity more than a convenience.”

“Best Subs period Love the drink selection”

“Great spot to watch the sunset in the keys”

“Amazing food and friendly service. We will definitely be back!”

“1. The food. Our group ordered the lobster bisque, strawberry goat cheese salad, shrimp scampi and snapper. Quality of food was INSANE. just so good. By far the best food that we had during our stay down here.

2. The service. When we arrived there was a storm and so they had to move all of the people outside inside the restaurant, so there was no room. The bartender, Smithers, found a delightful corner table for us that was away from all the noise and we loved it. Being a fellow Minnesotan, we connected with her and absolutely loved the down-to-earth, friendly and helpful service she gave us. She is awesome.”

“We've been going here for many years, We love the atmosphere and the food..Mary Jo is amazing and treats you like family..We look forward to going back in October we will be staying at the BlueGreen resort there..”

“Stopped in for dinner and enjoyed our server Cleona. She has a smile that is everything Keys! Happy and warm! Having Cleona as a server makes the meal that much more enjoyable. She is a true asset to Sunset Grille and one of the reasons we keep coming back to Sunset Grille time and time again! The food was excellent. Try the Boom Boom Shrimp to start and you won’t be disappointed!”

“We had an amazing experience and best food we have had in the keys in the last 5 years. We decided to do our anniversary night here with some friends and it didn’t disappoint. The guys with the days catch were super awesome too and offered us some of their sushi grade fish that Lazy Days prepared for them. All in all amazing food, highly recommend.”

“There are LOT of good food choices down in The Keys, but this was easily our best meal. The Cuban elements were ridiculously good. Wonderfully seasoned and every bite felt like home cooking. Their Key Lime Pie was basically a religious experience. Pretty sure the pastry chef's hands were anointed by The Lord. Thanks again, Stephen!”
