Description

Tucked away along the marina, this restaurant offers a delightful seafood experience, specializing in stone crab claws and fresh oysters, both of which have garnered rave reviews. Diners appreciate the casual, outdoor ambiance that enhances the meal, though occasional issues with mosquitoes and unpleasant odors have been noted. Service can vary, with some staff shining while others struggle with menu knowledge. Despite these hiccups, the affordability and quality of the food make it a standout choice. With a limited drink selection and lively atmosphere, this gem is a perfect spot for seafood lovers seeking a memorable experience.

The waiter was exceptionally rude, making it seem like he was itching for a confrontation. Initially, I thought he simply had a poor sense of humor, but it quickly became clear that he was genuinely disrespectful. I've been to numerous bars in Islamorada, but I've never encountered such behavior before—it was quite strange. Price range per person: $50-100. Food rating: 1. Service rating: 1. Atmosphere rating: 1.

That was a delightful spot! It's tough to beat $4 for each stone crab claw; we probably consumed around 20 of them! We also tried the ceviche and the smoked fish, which were excellent. They only serve wine and beer, but that wasn't an issue for us. The small live music added an extra enjoyable touch to the experience. The service was great as well.

Cute little hidden spot off the highway and right on the canal! We only stopped in for a beer, but the vibe was super chill and we watched some parrot fish swimming around while we hung out. We'll stop here on our next Keys trip so we can check out the menu. Price per person: $1–10 Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5
