16 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.“

“O…M…G! This place is amazing! Great Bloody Mary’s, the BEST onion rings we have ever had, portion sizes are huge, food is awesome and great service! You will NOT be disappointed!“

“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 were visiting and a local recommended Franks! The best Italian food I have had! Chicken Alfredo is my go to and this was to notch!“

“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.”“

“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!“

“Had the crab queso again! salmon prepared mazalatán was very good, loved the sauce, huge portions. Husband had the lobster enchiladas. I wasn't a fan of my Thunderbolt margarita, I thought it lacked flavor. Adam was our most attentive and fun server.“

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

“This is attached to the Marriott. The waiter did not wait on us. He was very slow and it was a slow night. He focused on one side of the seating area. We ordered at the bar ( bartenders were great) the food took forever to come out ( 35+ min wait) the food came out hot but gross. The pizza was like Little Caesars. The view is great with the pool and ocean.“

“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!“

“We are blessed to have eaten here many times when staying at Isla Bella and it's always very enjoyable. Lobster bisque is delicious and I tried the Ahi Tuna and it was excellent. They brought us a flowerless cake to celebrate our 16 year anniversary! It made it very special.“

“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!“
