Restaurants in Marathon

“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!!”

“Food was good had the burger and the chicken strips for the kids and they couldn't finish it serving size is large. Salsa and chips were delicious the right kind of spice for the burger.”

“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.”

“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.”

“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.”

“Great view of the races,cold beer @ beautiful bartenders”

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

“Just had a tremendous dinner here to celebrate my mom’s birthday! Beverly was our server and she was outstanding! Made great recommendations for our selections. The food and service is worth every penny!”

“I could kick myself for just now trying the whole yellowtail snapper; it was amazing and only $22!! Eat here often and it never disappoints and the servings are huge!!”

“The Marketplace at Isla Bella is located upon entering when you head to Isla Bella Beach Resort. Instead of turning left toward the resort, keep heading straight ahead and the Marketplace is tucked next to the marina area.

This place is fabulous not just for food, drinks and convenience store items but they carry so many cute retail items too including Lululemon. You know a place is bougie if they carry Lululemon. Lol. They sell booze, unique gift items, bulk candy section, sunscreen, bug spray, clothing, snacks, canned drinks, and so much more. There is an activities area where you can check out things to do while you're staying at Isla Belle Beach Resort too. Ask for Sean, he's the Director of Guest Experiences and he'll take great care of you!

The space is beautiful and so big. The Marketplace reminds me a lot of Sugarboo & Co which is a unique home goods store with fun gift items. If you've ever been to Sugarboo in Orlando or Atlanta, you'll know what I mean.

We stopped in here a few times mainly for coffee or breakfast sandwiches. Had the hazelnut cappuccino and warning to all, they make the coffee super fresh and piping hot. No joke, almost burned my mouth twice. I wasn't the only one. Ha. But coffee is good, just be careful and let your drink cool off. I speak from experience. The breakfast sandwiches here are really tasty and fresh. They don't list the breakfast sandwiches on the menu as it changes regularly. We had an everything bagel breakfast sandwiches with egg, bacon and cheese. The bagel was perfectly soft and chewy and yummy. Pricing is fair and you can charge to your room.

If you're staying at the resort, you can walk here from the main resort area and lobby too. It's a short walk and you enter through the back area that way. It's also next to the Event Center. Coolest marketplace I've ever seen!”

“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.”

“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!”

“New Year's eve dinner. Amazing. First time here. got the tomahawk steak. One of the best steaks I've ever had. No additional seasoning needed. We also got a couple sushi rolls, tuna tartar and pork belly. All of it was good. For dessert, the fruit salad was amazing. Noah was a great attentive waiter.”

“Great vibes- great food!!!”

“I got the smoked fish dip and it was a 10 , delicious”

“Great staff great food a must visit”

“Excellent experience at Plaza Grill. From the moment you walk in, the atmosphere is elegant, welcoming, and perfect for a special dinner. The service was outstanding — attentive, friendly, and detail-oriented throughout the entire evening.

The food was exceptional; everything was fresh, perfectly prepared, and beautifully presented. The steaks were cooked exactly as ordered and full of flavor, and the seafood was just as impressive. Their wine and cocktail selection perfectly complements the dining experience.

Definitely one of the best restaurants in Marathon. You can truly see the quality and care they put into every dish and every guest experience. Highly recommended for anyone looking for an excellent dining experience in the Keys.””

“Great staff great food a must visit”

“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!”

“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!!”

“Got some pizza today and it was absolutely delicious. The staff was BEYOND kind and gave us a wonderful experience. Definitely stop by if you're in the Keys! ??”

“Kind chic but it's very relaxed too we were looking for a place to eat and didn't realize it was inside a Marriot Hotel very good food and the view was beautiful and the service was friendly and fast our server I think it was Kelly and she did a terrific job”

“Hottest place in town… Literally”

“We enjoyed talking to the friendly staff. First visit back to Marathon since we lived there back in the 1960s-70s. Nostalgic lunch as we remembered back when the building had been the Royal Castle.”

“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!”

“Great spot to watch the sunset in the keys”

“Paul, Giana, monthro, and Abel were the most welcoming friendly people I’ve ever met!! Loved every minute spent with these people and can’t wait to visit them again!!!! Their food was top notch as well as their service….see you again soon!!!”

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

“Best Subs period Love the drink selection”

“Outstanding service, outstanding food, outstanding atmosphere. Lamont treated us so well and we shared many laughs. We had our anniversary dinner here. This is the best date night in the keys!”

“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'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..”

“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!”
