24 Best Vegetarian Restaurants in Marathon

“This is a hidden gem that shouldn't be overlooked! The outside is a little unassuming and blends in with all the businesses, marine shops, etc. The inside though is made up of an eclectic display of lush tropical plants, trees, knickknacks, exotic snacks, cookies and the like. There is outdoor seating with ample fans and overhead cover. Definitely an island vibe. I had the Jerk Chicken meat pie to start which was the best I've had. Then I tried the Hawaiian grilled cheese sandwich. Sweet bread and full of awesome flavor! I then had the mango BBQ ribs from the on site food truck. Perfect amount of smoke and sweetness and perfectly done. Washed it down with fresh squeezed mango lemonade which was refreshing and perfectly sweet! Overall this was the best meal and atmosphere in all of the Keys I've tried! So much so, I made it a point to let the cashier/host know as well as the working owner at the food truck. Highly recommend!!“

“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.“

“Found this gem through a search for fine dining in the Keys. We have been going to the Keys for the last 5-6 years and staying at Isla Bella resort in Marathon. Great place. Found the Hideaway Cafe and it is truly a hidden gem. We went to celebrate our 40th wedding anniversary and it was a slow night for them, so we had the distinct pleasure of meeting and being served by Owner/Chef Freda. Perfect atmosphere out on the low-lit porch, wonderful bottle of wine, shrimp bisque, Grilled rack of lamb, seafood wellington. It was amazing, some of the best food we've ever had in the Keys and the atmosphere was very romantic! Perfect evening! Thank you Chef Freda for a wonderful experience!“

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

“Wow! This restaurant, the food and the customer service were amazing! My family had been vacationing down in Marathon for about a week and we had yet to find a good restaurant. We tried out all of the other recommended places that were supposedly very delicious and we were not very impressed. They all tasted like cheap bar food. We found this restaurant just from a Google search and it had good reviews so we figured we would give it a try. It’s very hard to find a restaurant that all five people in my family can say that they loved without a shadow of a doubt, but this place is it. We tried a whole bunch of different menu items and every single thing was amazing! From the Cubans, the oxtail, the cheeseburger, the coquette and milkshakes. It was so good that we are actually considering going back tonight for dinner when we were just there today for lunch. We spoke with one of the family members that owns the restaurant and he was so great! Explained the different menu items to us when we weren’t sure what they were. I can’t say enough good things about this restaurant. Skip the big fancy chain restaurants and eat here next time you won’t regret it!“

“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.“

“Great food Awesome service!! thank you!!“

“We went almost everyday! Bagels are delicious! Great to have my kids know what a real bagel is. Don’t be deterred by a long line, they go quick plus it’s fun listening to all the accents. Highly recommend the Nova with the works!“

“Been coming here for the last 3 years and we love this place the food is awesome and our server Kris is the best we ask for him every time we come“

“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!“

“Great vibes- great food!!!“

“Pizza was delicious!! Staff was very friendly! Highly highly recommend 🍕“

“It was our first time eating there,,service was lacking a lot,,we had to ask for refills, she did leave a pitcher of water then. We ordered the lasagna dinner that comes with a side salad so we ordered another regular salad since we were splitting the meal. The side salad was pitiful, it came on a coffee saucer it looked like,the regular salad was a good size. For $24 the side salad should have been the same size as the extra salad. She brought our food and we sat there waiting on the bread,,,she comes back by and informed us bread was extra,,,really, I’ve never had a meal at any restaurant where you had to pay extra for bread, most will bring you more if you eat what they served you the first time. The upside was the lasagna was good.“

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

“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!“

“I've always been told "Don't judge a book by it's cover" Well you certainly can not Castaway. Driving up to the restaurant the neighborhood/area was a little iffy as well as the front of restaurant. Looks were deceiving. Once inside very nice. The menu/food was absolutely 💯 fabulous. Our waitress was very knowledgeable about items as well with recommendations. This is definitely a hidden gem. Was recommended to us by a local. Will go back hands down. ❤️ 😍“

“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.“

“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.“

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

“Seemed line we were am inconvenience for breakfast especially!!!!! Very slow service like they bring you one cup of coffee your food and never to be seen again. Food was decent for breakfast. Cesar salad id fantastic the rib eye dont bother, its horrible thing and fatty. Wish I could give a better review but not impressed at all with food and or the service and friendliness of staff!“

“This is the best place to be, the best place to spend your SUNDAY and make it a FUNDAY, absolutely the best with an Epic and captivating Sunset 🥰😊“

“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!“

“another awesome dinner, tonight we sat at the bar. did was great as usual, and the service was awesome. thank you“
