18 Best American Restaurants in Marathon

“I would 100% recommend you go and git a cold beer, a burger and the famous french-fries.“

“It felt like sitting on an exclusive deck of a spectacular cruise ship. There are both comfy seating areas, very classy wood and cushioned chairs and couches, with umbrellas... as well as table and chairs for more practical dining.We went there for breakfast as part of our stay at Grassy Flats resort. The food is excellent, just like Rhum House, same cooks, same chefs. It can get very overwhelmed with people in the morning, which is why I didn't give it a 5 for service. It isn't like they didn't try, but while we were there, they got a rush for breakfast and it took a while. The days we were able to order breakfast from the Rhum House, due to higher winds the service was excellent! The pictures come from our breakfast at Rhum House, but the menu is the same.The two most spectacular dishes for breakfast were a fruit tray that was so gorgeous to behold, and the yogurt bowl that was sprinkled with chocolate and honey. Avocado toast was excellent, so I heard (I'm gluten sensitive so I didn't get to try it). Coffee was good, and endless. Mai Tais were also available that day, as our favorite bartender was on duty and it wasn't too busy. It was well worth the deviation from our normal breakfast.On the day we had breakfast on the Palm Deck, it was too busy to ask for a Mai Tai, and the bartender on duty didn't know how to make them the same way. Food was a little slow, but they were slammed with one server on. The food quality was excellent.

Vegetarian options: The fruit salad is to die for, as is the avocado toast see pictures. I believe there were also cereals (I can't eat them so I don't' know).

Dietary restrictions: I am gluten sensitive and there were many options for me. Vegan and vegetarian needs can also be met.

Kid-friendliness: We had our 2 year old nephew and he had a great time. They provided a smaller bowl of yogurt on request. We were able to walk the deck while waiting for our food. There is a lot to distract a little one with the views and the trees and birds nearby. They had high chairs easily accessible too.

Wheelchair accessibility: Easy access from parking lot (though gravel) to huge elevator, to front door.“

“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!!“

“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.“

“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. 😂“

“It's always lovely to have dinner at Plaza Grill. We were warmly greeted by the lovely hostess,the table I prefer is right by the entrance door,it's very quiet and one can actually have a conversation, soft music was playing in the background and the waitress Neves(sp) was attending to our needs without having to find her when we needed something. I had the Wedge as an appetizer and the crab cakes,it was so much food that I took home the left overs for the next day. Of course there was always room for espresso ice cream. It is the best restaurant in the keys, definitely in Marathon,I can't wait to go back, love everything about it. Thank you“

“Fun place for families, with lawn games in the beautiful outdoor eating area. Local live music. Kids enjoyed the BBQ options. Conch and clam chowders were great. Good kids menu.

Kid-friendliness: Kid menu, backyard games and live music.“

“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!“

“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.“

“We went for the lion fish and it did not disappoint! I had sushi also. Everything was very good, including the service. So glad we found this place“

“I really wish I had the black bean salad recipe! It was great and will be missed“

“We got too hungry on our drive to Key West and had to stop 1hr out. We oicked this place. We thought it was more of a dine in restaurant, but it was an outdoor poolside bar with tables. It was surprisingly quaint with beautiful views and the pool goers were quiet.

We ordered a few different foods, and everything was great. Especially the blackened fish tacos.“

“The best blackened shrimp/chicken and bang bang shrimp tacos we have ever had.. all the food was outstanding and the waitress was phenomenal! We will be back!“

“Hottest place in town… Literally“

“Our sunset dinner at Mahina was the highlight of our weekend in the keys! We had a perfect table for six on the patio. Angelica, our server, made our whole experience so outstanding, we HIGHLY recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for an incredible food, drinks, ambiance and service.“

“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 👍👍“

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

“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!“
