17 Best American Restaurants in Marathon

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

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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. 😂“

“This is one of the best restaurants on MarathonKey or easily in the Keys. They truly make you feel welcome from the minute you walk in. The food is amazing, they have white tablecloths and cloth napkins~ love, excellent service! And plenty of parking ;)“

“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!“

“The food was absolutely amazing!! Hogfish, Pompano & Tile Fish was absolutely delicious! Lion fish and Surf & Turf Sushi was the best I’ve had. Side note, our server Brittany was one of the best servers I have had ever!!“

“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!“

“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.“

“Hottest place in town… Literally“

“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!“

“Between the incredible cuisine, the stunning view, and the impeccable service, this restaurant is a true gem. It's the kind of place you'll want to linger a little longer — and one you'll be eager to return to again and again.“

“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!“
