Lots of menu options for land and sea. The smoked fish dip is very good and a nice light appetizer. The calamari is good but not a fan of the white dipping sauce. We also had the St. Kitts pasta and the red snapper lightly blackened. Our meals were beautifully presented and the flavor was a wonderful balance of freshness, spice and creamy. Jerry is an impressive hardworking waiter and knows his stuff. The kitchen is beyond fast cranking out the guests food. The garage doors allow an excellent breeze to pass through. If you can't handle it then move inside away from the doors. It's a unique trait the restaurant offers being in the marina. The restaurant footprint is massive and it is a lively wild place
If you're a seafood lover, a well-made seafood sandwich can be a game-changer. The seafood was fresh, tender, and perfectly seasoned. Every bite had that briny sweetness that screams quality. The bun was ok, this was more like a fish burger. I would have loved to maybe have everything on sourdough bread instead of a burger bun. The chowder was great in taste, yet the spice factor was very mild. The conch inside the soup was delicious yet it was very scarce and more focused on potato. I would only make a recommendation on the soup if it had more conch inside. Service was pretty fast considering the fact that they're always packed.
Tried the cracked conch- good portion - filled two mommies! Bloody Mary's were loaded and spicy- just the way I like it
Wonderful find on the water! They had daily fresh catches and fresh seafood. Selena at the bar is exceptional and on point! We split the fresh fired shrimp platter and it was battered perfectly! The fries were crisp and crunchy and the cole slaw was nicely dressed. We plan on getting the conch fritters next time. Come early, it gets packed quickly. We will definitely be back again!
Just came here for drinks. The place is huge! Nice to be by the water on this end of Duval. Service was attentive and to save you the Google, IITYWYBTBAR at the bar apparently means, "If I tell you, will you buy the bar a round?"
I never thought I would say this, but this place has the best shrimp I ever tasted. If they can knock it out of the park with fresh shrimp, then you can trust their seafood entrees to be delicious. There is plenty of space inside and a cute gift shop as well. Will def eat here again on the next visit.
A lovely place right on the pier - friendly staff and good food! I personally wasn't a fan of Fried Conch but locals love it. The shrimp and and mocktails are very tasty as well as the fresh catch of the day which I didn't get a picture of but was fantastic. We ended up visiting twice and fell in love with the spices they have on the table from Key West Spice - we ended up ordering from their website we loved it so much! (keywestspice.com) we loved sprinkling the 0 Mile Seafood spice on their veggies - chef's kiss - fantastic! They had a decent amount of gluten-free options as well!
