Restaurants near Naval Air Station Key West

“Special thanks to Chef Clive for making the thanks giving special. This meal was my thanksgiving dinner today & honestly… it was probably the best meal I’ve had in a very long time. The pricing here might seem on the high side but once you try the food and see the portions you will understand why it’s priced accordingly. I’ve eaten at this food truck numerous times and i am yet to have a bad experience here. 10/10 if you’re traveling/stopping through or just hungry in general please stop here and support this place. Such a gem.”

We’ve been coming to Key West two times a year every year for the past 10 to 15 years and we’ve stayed at many beautiful properties, but this one wins above them all. I highly, highly recommend this property. We will be returning guests for sure!”

“A & B Lobster House 700 Front St., Key West, FL 33040 4 Stars Ah, the Conch Republic. How can you not love the Key West even if it is a tourist trap. It is our tourist trap. Any place Papa Hemingway lived has to be cool. Opened 70 years ago by good friends Alonzo Cothron & Berlin Fleton, A & B Lobster House has become a Key West Waterfront icon in what is now A & B Marina. They have expanded over the decades to include a slew of eateries. Upon entering the abode, I almost thought I had stepped into an atelier; the place was so pristine and classic-looking. Michelle was the server today, and she was more or less what one expects from a place that bills itself as "fine dining." She was knowledgeable, polite, and professional. I asked for one Old Fashioned from Berlin's Bar, some Beef Carpaccio, and a New York Strip (Blackened and medium-rare) with a Caribbean Lobster Tail. Relaxing in the atmosphere of Key West, I was almost lost in the comforting arms of Hypnos when Michelle brought forth our fare. First, the Old Fashioned was made by someone who obviously knew what they were doing as it was delicious. I then turned my attention to the order of Beef Carpaccio. I learned from Michelle that the "fresh baked" part of this was neither fresh nor baked on-site. As I've stated a million times, if a dish involves any bread or pastry product, it has to start with the bread or pastry. If that is off, it throws the whole dish off, which was the case here. A for effort - D for quality. Moving on to the Blackened New York Strip and Caribbean Lobster Tail. Looking at the pictures, you can clearly see that beautiful, blackened crust on the charred bovine. It was cooked to a succulent medium-rare and was extremely tasty on the palate. The accompanying Lobster Tail was delightfully seasoned, grilled to perfection and caused my taste buds to break into a Bruckins as they were freed of crappy food for the nonce. The Carpaccio and bread are a 1, while I found the NY Strip and Lobster Tail to be a 4.5. Hence, the overall rating of a 4 -- giving greater weight to the entree. The Big Boy says, "I'm not sure if there is better dining in tourist trap haven, but it's miles above anything up in Cocoa Beach serving the same feed."”

“A Getaway to key west Hubby Wifey Time Celebrated our 12 year anniversary ❤️ Absolutely loved this place. Everything was delicious!! Menu was naughty and fun 🤩 Loved it!! Loved the French Kiss 💋 and the Fourgasm❤️”

“Feel like we found a hidden gem! The Food and service was excellent. Highly recommend if you are looking for something different. We enjoyed talking to the owner/cook after we ate.”

“Didn't realize it wasn't a sit in restaurant, but did enjoy the food and drink from here. Got the cuban caramel coffee and it tasted amazing! Sandwiches are a foot long, so definitely can share it.”

“Being from Canada we were looking forward to trying this little quirky restaurant on a boat . Ribs and brisket were excellent and best baked beans I’ve ever tasted. Apparently missed the neighbour hood manatee who lives in the port . We would definitely visit again !”

“Best dive bar in the lower keys!”

“I saw Fritas in a YouTube video, we got done with our vacation activities late so we ordered on doordash. I was nervous it wasn't going to be as good, but it was amazing! I wanted to get a Cubano on this trip and I was not disappointed, the classic cubano was so flavorful and delicious. It was better than I could have asked for. The fries were also really good, my wife said they were now her favorite fries, sad that we don't have this food back home!! I don't have a picture, I ate the food way too fast. Thank you Fritas!”

“This place is AMAZING! We met Tadd the owner and had fantastic conversations about beer, life, and everything in between. The beer selection is out of this world. There is definitely something for everyone but if you’re not sure which to pick, the outstanding servers will help you out with suggestions and samples! You walk in just looking for a good beer but you leave feeling like you’ve been going there forever (and with a few cans to take back home).”

“this restaurant is one of the best in Key West. It has an exceptional atmosphere, extensive menu and great service. We were pleased with all that this restaurant has to offer including impeccable drinks and food selections. We were delighted to have Mercedes as our server and she did everything possible to make us feel like family.”

“Great service, staff & coffee!”

“We had the BEST sandwiches from here when we stopped by on our Spring Break last week. The owner (I’m guessing) was very nice and even gave our daughter a drink on the house. Love it that they use Boars Head meats & cheeses! Next time we visit, we’ll definitely stop for another subs. 😋🤤”

“Heads up…. Payed for a latte, received a regular coffee no foam. Coffee was weak. What surprised me the most was that they were adamant that it was a latte. Other than that, the food was delicious and the pastry’s were out of this world. Happy dining”

“Top level customer service and a taste that has to be tasted. As a foodie from New Orleans I tend to have higher expectations in service and taste and SO7 excels in every category. I’ve only been able to eat at around 30 or so restaurants in the few months I’ve lived here and SO7 has topped the all. Chef paul killing it behind the flames and the guys up front taking care of service from top to bottom. The crème de la crème in my book is the refreshing central AC. Nobody likes sweat dripping into your food after working all day and good AC is hard to come by in the lower keys. It’s my go to after work dinner and drinks. Pleasant experience all around.”

“Great food and friendly staff!”
