The calamari was the best calamari i’ve had, fresh & lightly breaded. Would highly recommend!Kid-friendliness: Has a large outside area with secluded seating.“

“The food was very delicious, they are very friendly and around them you can enjoy a lot of fresh air and a good atmosphere, full of boats and you can see the total enjoyment. The stuffed tostones are super special and we were completely satisfiedRecommended in the area 100%“

“Was passing through the keys to see my husband in mariners hospital and I stopped and got him the most amazing giant fish sandwich and the waitress and manager were so very kind, I'm sorry I forgot their names bc I was very stressed but may I just say I cannot wait to see them again soon with my husband for a happy lunch!! Amazing Restaurant hands down!!!!“

“After a long trip down rt 1 from capecoral fl was looking for something quick to eat ran into this joint and wow blown away. Fresh tasty everything made to order lots of passion and good company. Got the fish rueben and might be the best sandwich I ever had so I ordered a second one! It's a small little place with good company and amazing food will be back!!!“

“Absolutely delicious! The oysters are fantastic - fresh brine taste, perfectly chilled and served! The stone crab claws were also fantastic - priced right and delicious! The fish dip is phenomenal. The owner, Lola, provides top rate service! Go with her recommendations. She knows what she's talking about! Don't miss this gem!“

“We're locals, and have eaten at a ton of different places up and down the Middle Keys. Made 2 Order is one of the best when combining quality and value.The food is fresh, tasty. The prices are very reasonable for the Keys. You could easily pay 50% more for food of the same (high) quality. Most importantly our server, Amber Lee, was simply to-die-for. Not just helpful and attentive, but totally adorable. We sat for a long time at our table and she kept bringing coffee and iced tea refills, didn't rush us at all.There are a number of reviews here complaining about the wait. The place is popular for good reason. Just avoid the biggest rush times.Would recommend without a second thought.“

“Totally Disappointed, I would have to think really hard if I would be willing to return. My Yellow fin tuna was JUST plain ok, nothing great.The diet cola in my cocktails (both even after I complained about it to Michelle) was FLAT...probably generic...that would be ok if carbonated CORRECTLY. I ordered a rum & diet cola DOUBLE TALL, what I got was a medium glass, not my tall but when in Rome, so I accept ...A weak pour...so being a smaller glass than what I'm used to. A double pour should have been strong....NOT the case...I may have to go back up the street To CAPTAIN CRAIGS.“

“I can’t imagine anyone ever giving this establishment less than a 5 star review. I would give them many more stars if it was allowed. We had flown from San Diego to Miami, and just happened to stop there on our way to Key West. Growing up in Texas, I have a very strict code of ethics about the texture, batter, freshness and overall taste of what a fried shrimp should taste like. I have to say, they beat my Texas upbringing. As a matter of fact, we timed our trip back to Miami just so we could eat there again, and the second time was just as amazing as the first. Frank the chef is a superior chef and a very nice person. Bella our server was amazing too. Very efficient, kind and helpful. We will time our future trips to go there again. What an amazing food experience, or for those who want a Michelin star rating, a 5 for sure. Thank you twisted shrimp !!!!!“

“We were blown away with Square Grouper. Not only was the food the best meal we’ve had in the Keys but our server Rob was fantastic. He was extremely accommodating and was able to answer any questions about the menu with patience. We would 10/10 go back, recommend it to anyone, and ask for Rob!“

“First off Rick the manager was so great to work with. We had a big group of 25 people and they gave us a table outside by the water that we could all sit at. He saved us parking spots as we had 18 separate cars as it was a car rally down to Islamorada for lunch. The food was amazing and the waiter was amazing. The view from the table was amazing. We appreciate all Island Grill and Rick did for us and we all had a great time.Parking: We had 18 cars and there was parking for all. There were plenty of others cars there as well so there were plenty of parking spots.“

“I can’t say enough about how wonderful our experience was. The staff worked together making sure we were happy. The food was fantastic. My go to choice for a seafood dinner is Mediterranean fish. It was the best I have ever had. My 2 dinner friends were equally pleased. The only negative is that I am from the Tampa area and it’s too far to be a frequent dining customer.“

“We brought our own snapper and they cooked it up blackened and with the Key Lime butter sauce. We all agreed, it is the best fish we have had in the Keys!!! It was unbelievable!!Then we had the Chicken Piccata and Key Lime Chicken and it was SO good!! Hobos has elevated to our favorite dinner place down here. The outdoors is very nice, plenty of food, staff was great!!The creamed spinach was also delicious, and the Key Lime pie!!! We can't wait to go back!!“

“My husband and I stopped in for a drink and a couple of apps and it was delicious. I wished we’d done there for a full meal. Watermelon salad was out of this world. Ceviche was delicious. Bacon wrapped jalapeño poppers were also great and good for a lactose intolerant person because of the goat cheese stuffing. Great, friendly service.“

“Stopped in while visiting key largo and this place was delicious! I ordered the filet mignon and it was cooked to the perfect temperature. It came with two sides and I chose sweet potato and their Greek kale salad. Both options were incredible and the vinaigrette was sweet and tangy. The steak also came with a side serving of chimichurri, a cilantro aioli and a spicy red sauce. I used all three of them and i can’t pick a favorite. Our server Daniella was very kind as it was our first time there. 10/10 recommend!“

“The Fish House in Key Largo is like a hidden treasure chest for seafood lovers - small but mighty! It may look inconspicuous from the outside, but as soon as you open the door you are greeted by an ocean of aromas.The atmosphere is relaxed and cozy, making you immediately feel at home - if home were a place to enjoy the best seafood! The staff is so welcoming that you almost forget you're not at a fishing party.The menu is a real treasure map full of delicious delicacies. From crab cakes so juicy they could almost swim to grilled fish so fresh they almost float, there are no fish stories here, just pure culinary delight!And the best? Despite the fantastic quality of the food, The Fish House isn't just for those with gold bars in their wallets. Here you get real value for your money, which means you don't have to choose between a delicious meal and the next fuel stop.Overall, our visit to The Fish House was a real discovery! If you're looking for a place that will put a smile on your face and satisfy your stomach, then this is definitely the place for you. So get going and immerse yourself in the fun!“

“Totally awesome view and dining experience. I'll cut to the chase, went Friday night at 7 pm, was quickly seated, Daniela, our very attentive hostess, brought me a Wahoo Crush (fantastic) and conch chowder cup (spicy and comforting). I ordered Mahi Tacos, with sweetpotato fries with avacado slices and jalepenos (excellent), my bro ordered the lemon butter snapper filet with yellow rice (it was super excellent, I stole a few bites). Would I return? In a heartbeat! Awesome dinner.“

“Great food. I ordered a breakfast burrito wrap that came with mayonnaise. I found mayo unusual but gave it a try. I'm particular with my condiments and usually ask ahead of time to go light on condiments. I forgot to let my server know, and the wrap came loaded with mayo. No biggie. I just scrapped it all off. If mayo is your thing, you are fine. If not, just be sure to let your server know ahead of time. My kids loved their chocolate chip waffles. Would definitely recommend stopping by.“

“We lived about 4 hours away from this area. It was our first time in the restaurant, food was great, taste was delicious, fresh and orders came out very quickly. Karla did an amazing job, her friendly personality and her customer skills are an asset for the company. Restaurant’s colors are very attractive and pleasant to see it around the areas, beach and the pier are clever to create nice memories and shared awesome pictures.Thank you!!!“

“This is our new place at the keys. We went on Saturday, the place was packed we waited around 5 minunes and got seated, the food was delicious, the servers are amazing with a positive attitude and always smiling, the atmosphere is really nice. We took our friends again on Sunday and the service, the food and atmosphere was excellent. We found our new breakfast place to go, and the fiesta skillet has become the favorite dish amongst our party.Parking: There is plenty of parking spaces in the front and also in the back of the diner, but keep in mind that the place is usually packed (because is really good)“

“Mr. Nike IS THE COOLEST SERVER I HAVE SEEN OUT OF ALL THE RESTRAUNTS I HAVE BEEN INTO!!! AND THE SOME OF THE BEST FOOD EVV--ERR!!!! Mr.Nike, if you see this your cool ?Vegetarian options: Veggies in riceWheelchair accessibility: Handicapped parking“

“Incredible place to stop to eat. Good service (Claudia 10 out of 10 in everything), delicious food and filling dishes (we took almost half). It's not the cheapest, but it's definitely worth it. Absolutely recommended!!Kid-friendliness: Spacious.“

“Food is absolutely delicious! We ate dinner there four times during our stay in Key Largo. Portions are great and everything we ate was fantastic. Andreas was our server and he’s so very friendly and conversational. Can’t say enough great things about this local gem.“

“This is our 2nd time at Shrimp Shack and we had the same (great) server as last year. She has been there 4 years which says a lot about the place. Joe ordered the shrimp and gits which had too much sauce. I had the grouper picata with a side of broccoli which I dipped in the s&g sauce. That defeated the purpose of being healthy but hey, I am on vacation. My fish was good!“

“This place is amazing! If you like fresh seafood you need to come here the raw oysters were so fresh we also order conch ceviche and the portion was generous the lobster roll on point! We enjoy the atmosphere and fast service we decide to go back in the next day. We are coming back on our next trip to the keys.“

“Just bought a shirt but the staff was super cool. I had breakfast down at the little and they didn't have any t-shirts in my size so I had to go to the big and get a t-shirt. Even though they weren't open the kitchen staff brought me in and introduced me to the manager and the manager was more than happy to sell me a t-shirt before they were even open. You very rarely ever see amazing customer support like that anymore I can't think them enough.“

“Delmonico, scallops, truffle lobster mac were all excellent! Great wine as well. Our family agreed that our only complaint would be the chairs. The chairs were really hard and uncomfortable. That being said, it's not a reason to miss this restaurant when you visit Key Largo.“

“Our go-to spot in the Florida Keys for fresh, local fish. Key Largo Fishers has it all: stone crabs, mahi-mahi, hogfish, superb fish dip, and cold beers. The atmosphere is just what you'd expect in the Keys, laid-back and friendly. Whether you're a local or just passing through, this place is a must-visit for any seafood lover.“

“The Ribeye was sensational.Looking for somewhere close to the Reefhouse, and heard the live music just before sunset.Views were spectacular, atmosphere was amazing and relaxing.The steak was one of the best I’ve had in a long time and fries were great as well.“

“We’ve been coming here for over 10 years and you really cannot beat the location of this restaurant anywhere in the keys. It’s definitely become more touristy than ever but you really can’t blame people for having to check it out. The food quality has gone down a bit but still the BEST frozen bevys anywhere“

“Chef Michael’s features a small menu that still offers a lot of variety, especially taking into consideration the several different types of fish that can be chosen as your base. The selection of fresh fish, which changes daily, offered a lot of fishes that we had never had before. We were excited to finally try lionfish there. We also got a sampler dish, which featured three of their signature preparations, and each one was delicious. Shelly our waitress was thorough in her explanation of menu items and very friendly and attentive. The restaurant was clean, well lit, and everyone seemed to be having a good time… It just got a little loud when the house was full.Wheelchair accessibility: Ramp to front door“

“Our group of 6 enjoyed our dinner here. Fresh seafood prepared via your choice of several different methods. Lots of variety in terms of appetizers and main dishes. Everyone in our group enjoyed their meal. Kids menu with chicken fingers, ribs, bbq ribs, etc. A little cramped inside. Key lime pie was the best I’ve ever had (although my wife says she wouldn’t go that far). Highly recommend.“

“I had such a memorable time here I didn’t even remember to take a photo or the delicious food or anything! I had the dish with key lime butter sauce and it was AMAZING my daughter ate her entire plate & she usually doesn’t eat fish! I was so impressed, the service was amazing and the sweet tea was amazing as well they have a big selection of drinks and wines and cocktails!“

“One of the best dining locations in Key Largo! Wonderful oceanfront seating when you can get it and the bar and inside dining are great as well. The food, well come hungry because they don't skimp! Love this place! Just go and you can thank me later!“

“Dive bar atmosphere with an extensive menu and plenty of fish/seafood choices! Daily food specials up on the wall. We love the friendly staff - Kathy, LaLa, Heidi & Kelli just to name a few!! Always a fun time at The Catch!! It won’t let me post any pics but their food comes out appealing to the eye as well as the palate!“

“We bought fresh fish at this Key Largo fish market. We are from the northeast so the choices were very different. We ended up with Mahi Mahi and stone crab to cook at our rental. It was very fresh and delicious.Outside the market next to the pier were sharks, pelican and other fish swimming.Great place to visit.“

“This is our second visit to the Pilot House! Everything we had was fresh and delicious! The menu is a welcome variety of food styles but we always gravitate to their delicious seafood! Sitting outside in the tiki bar area, over looking the water and beautiful boats just soothes the soul. Last time I had the Pilot House Harvey Fish Sandwich, which was just perfect and was clear to see why it was a favorite. This time I had the Crunchy Grouper Sandwich, which did not disappoint! My love had the Mahi Rockefeller Sandwich, rich in flavor and she had the salad with a refreshing vinaigrette dressing. She really enjoyed it so much! We found out from the manager, who frequently walks around chatting with the guests, that if you go to the hostess stand, they will give you some food for the fish. So we sat and fed the Mangrove snapper and Parrot fish. Shortly later, a small Manatee came floating by along with a couple Nurse sharks. It was like being in an aquarium! Apparently, the new management has been making fun changes adding lighting and other decorative things to add to the experience. This truly is a hidden gem so don't miss it! It is one of those places that if living here, I would be there all the time!“

“Came here for lunch. I have a gluten allergy which makes it really hard to find a place to eat in the south. It is also hard to find a restaurant that is willing to help me eat without getting sick. Our waitress Nicole was fantastic as well as the chef who was willing to cook my fish separate so I didn't get sick.The frozen cocktail I had was delicious. The grilled Mahi was perfect. If we ever make it back to Key Largo, we will come here for lunch.Dietary restrictions: Gluten“

“Well, this beautiful restaurant is what we have all been waiting for!! The location, food, staff, ambiance, is all top notch. We went opening weekend and the restaurant felt like it had been a well oiled machine for years, congratulations to all of the staff and especially the owner. You all should be very proud of what this spectacular place is going to be for many many years. The menu has been done to incorporate typical Keys ingredients in an elevated way that make them delicious. We had tuna nachos, fried pickles, conch puppies, and smoked fish dip..... All incredible!!. Service was on point, managers walking around and making sure patrons were happy, and everyone sure was! Beer was ice cold and top shelf liquor drinks perfect. We had Sandbar burger with beer cheese and whiskey onion rings and smash burgers with a comeback sauce that will make us Come Back! Oh and the view is something that is hard to describe. You have the view on the right of the bay and to the left is ocean, truly magical. Sunsets here are the most spectacular in all of the upper Keyes!“

“Fantastic brunch! The service was very attentive, and the ambiance was beautiful and scenic for an early meal. Have tables with direct view of the ocean, and beautiful firepit with cafe lights overhead. Went back daily i enjoyed it so much! Thank you to the wonderful staff!“

“Appetizers.... overcooked fried calamari..... truffle fries....a bit underwhelming....conch fritters were great. Cocktails... dissapointing. Meal. Poboy great.....only ate the shrimp filling ...the roll fell apart..... skipped dessert. Eat at your own risk.“

“After reading through descriptions of several options in the area, we took a chance on this place. We were looking for fresh seafood and waterfront dining and this restaurant checked both of those boxes. We weren’t sorry! Our food was delicious and the sunset view was icing on the cake! We visited during Spring Break and waited over 30 minutes for a table and another 30 minutes for our food, so plan accordingly.Kid-friendliness: Kids’ Menu Available“

“This place had great brisket. Also good Mac and cheese and collard greens. And to top it off, it was very affordable. Brisket, 2 sides, and corn bread was only $13! McDonald’s charges almost that for a quarter pounder meal and this is waaaaaaaaaaay better.Go here and get some barbecue!“

“Great experience when we stopped by! The woman working was on her own and killed it taking care of customers and doing all the things, and she was super sweet. We had a lobster roll and the Cuban and really enjoyed both. It was a great experience all around and a great start to our first time visiting the keys. If we ever make it back we’ll definitely stop by again :)“

“Chef Rico will give you the Cook Your Catch experience of your life. Amazingly talented, he took our fish and turned it into a 5-star meal!! Far beyond expectations, seriously just absolutely incredible and a lovely experience. If you're fishing in Islamorada, do yourself a favor and bring your catch to Chef Rico at ReelCatch.“

“Food was AMAZING!!!!!!! We were seated immediately, our waitress was great! The bread- the salad- the meal were all so good we did not have room for dessert!! We all brought home left overs and we all ate them again the next day because everything was so delicious!! Would absolutely eat there again!! You will not be disappointed here!!!“

“This place is a whole vibe! Beautiful views on the patio, you can watch sharks swim by below you or boats come through. My daughter and I had burgers they were massive, messy and delicious. The service workers here and chefs are hard workers!! They have to go up and down these narrow stairs, good for them. Seems to be a lot of regular locals that come here as well. Nice to see! I'll be back someday!“

“A beautiful view of the Atlantic Ocean and a very swift service by the pool. The wings and the tuna nachos were a great appetizer before we fished off the pier. The make a really great margarita at the bar!Parking: Once you enter the resort facility, go to the left and there’s a gravel parking lot in which to park for the restaurant or for visitors.Kid-friendliness: It’s a family resort and has a restaurant at the pool with a bar and chairs with umbrellas to sit under. Bathrooms are located across from the bar to the right near the painted wall with the green eel and other colorful fish wall art.“

“Went to Kaiyo last night while working nearby.The Tuna Nachos were awesome!I had the Coco Loco and it was delicious. Lots of folks there and it took 20 minutes to get some more water after the bottle was taken away but overall a great place. A premium place with a Premium price.“

“Found this gem of a place and what a great find! We had 1 of the best times in the keys and had a great time with live music and the bartender Tara was so funny and really made the visit incredible,we only went in for a drink but stayed for the night,we had raw oysters and the biggest shrimp and the best fish dip we ever had!!Thanks for a wonderful time!!!“
