We had a wonderful time at Alonzo's. The atmosphere was perfect. We were right ooff the docks near Mallory Square. We missed the peak part of the sunset but really didn't miss much. The sky was just not cooperating that night. The server was lovely, friendly and was not over attentive.Our Conch Fritter and Calamari Appetizers were good til the last drop. Both were crunchy and perfectly fried. No rubber bands here! For entrees Hubby had a seafood platter which seemed to make him happy. Alittle bit of everything was a nice touch. Way too much for him to finish. Fried Grouper made my daughter happy. As for me, I went All out and had a very sweet tasting lobster tail. Our drinks were had just the proper amount of alcohol. I find most restaurants never put enough alcohol in them. We had to pass on desert as we were stuffed. I highly recommend Alonzo'sas It is quaint and right in the middle of sightseeing area. read more

Alonzo's is the best happy hour in Key West. Their half off small plates is legendary! Steamed shrimp, conch fritters, and fish bites are must haves. The happy hour also includes half off drafts, wine, and wells from 4-6. This is an amazing place, right on the water. Their bar is a great place to unwind and enjoy some quality food before heading out for an adventure in key west. The service is great, and the music and vibe is very relaxing. My must stop every time. read more

This was our first trip to Key West, Florida. We were in search of seafood for lunch, especially fresh oysters on the half shell. We were not disappointed. Absolutely the best I've ever had! My wife, not an oyster fan settled for the coconut shrimp - she gave me one to sample- wow, it was So good. The service was outstanding! Our waitress and another employee were friendly, made good suggestions and engaged in conversations with us. They made us feel like regulars. The restaurant was clean open and comfortable. We enjoyed everything about Alonzo's! read more

The peel and eat shrimp is never a disappointment and the food is great, however their happy hour has changed quite a bit. We come here every time we visit. This place used to have one of the best happy hours in Key West with so many options and now very minimal. There is a bar inside and outside with plenty of seating for large or small groups. This time we sat at a booth inside and the server never came so we decided to move to the bar, which had better service. read more

3.5 stars. Super hot in Key West and went looking for a cool place to have lunch. Alonzo's is in the historic seaport district - lovely location. Although not air conditioned (open air) the fans were going and it was comfortable. I started with their coconut pineapple mojito - it was ok but I really couldn't taste any rum at all. My coconut shrimp (small bite appetizer) and the chili sauce were delicious! Hubs enjoyed his ahi tuna bowl - very fresh. Our waitress was attentive and helpful. read more

Came here for the first time recommended by the Marriott hotel and was told they were closing early due to repairs. Very unprofessional to close 41 minutes early and your website says you close at 10pm. Needless to say I came with my family from California to try this and this was a very poor experience. read more

Alonzo's Oyster Bar will always hold a special place in my heart. I first came here about two years ago on one of my very first dates with the love of my life, and the experience was unforgettable. Since then, I've returned again and again--and every single visit has been just as phenomenal. The food is always fresh and delicious, the atmosphere is exactly what you hope for in Key West, and the service has never been anything short of exceptional. Most recently, I brought my entire family visiting from Wisconsin, and they were blown away. From start to finish, the dinner was incredible, and our waitress went above and beyond to make the evening feel special. Alonzo's has become not just a restaurant for me, but a tradition--one that I look forward to sharing with loved ones every time I'm in Key West. If you want amazing seafood, warm hospitality, and a memorable dining experience, this is the place. read more

Alonzo's Oyster Bar was recommended by relatives we were traveling with and we stopped here for dinner. There were six in our party and we were seated promptly. The restaurant is situated right on the waterfront but you view is mostly that of million dollar boats moored at the piers - no real view of the water. None of us are drinkers, so the Happy Hour wasn't particularly important to us. Service was very good and our waitress was pleasant and efficent. I had the snapper with friees and cole slaw - the others in our party had a variety of entrees. The food was good but not exceptional for being a waterfront restaurant in Key West. I wasn't at all disappointed with my meal but - at the same time - it wasn't something that would entice me to come back. Good food, good service, fair prices. read more

This was great restaurant. The atmosphere on the water overlooking the marina was great. We ordered a variety of food from stone crab, salads, tuna nachos, blackened grouper and seafood pasta. All was excellent and we really enjoyed the fresh meal. Not all restaurants have fresh seafood from the boats but Alonzo's has contracts with some of the boats for fresh catches of the day. Our waitress was a native and her service was awesome. Great choice for a family meal or to just enjoy the people and marina. Thanks for a great experience. read more

Excellent spot for happy hour while out-n-about shopping in the downtown area. They have a gorgeous view of the docks, multimillion $$$ Yachts, and there is a Tarpon feeding area as well. FYI - feeding time is at 4pm. We were greeted and promptly seated. Our server, Sabina, was very friendly and efficient. She kept our drinks topped off and was overall very attentive. We ordered three appetizers off the happy hour menu. We decided on the conch fritters ($9), the shrimp tacos ($9), and the warm crab and shrimp dip with chips ($11). Our food was out in 15 minutes, and most everything was freshly made. Conch fritters had great flavor but they were a little gummy and chewy for our taste. The dipping sauce was on the spicy side so that's something to be on the lookout for. The warm crab and shrimp dip was very good but also had a little spiciness to it, the chips were good but not freshly made or kept in a warmer before delivery; however, you do receive a lot of them. The shrimp tacos were our favorite if I were to do this all over again, I would have just ordered three sets of shrimp tacos, they were delicious. The restaurant has a modern nautical theme without being to overly nautical. We loved the view from the dock area and outside seating section near the back of the restaurant. The biggest issue I noticed while I was here was the restroom was not being attended to. There was a lot of water on the floor and areas where someone could slip there was also a full roll of toilet paper just laying on the floor in the stall. We were here for a while taking a break from the heat so I made two stops to the restroom during our visit and on both stops I noticed nothing had been cleaned or mopped up. All-in-all, it's a great spot for lunch or dinner, they fair pricing, an amazing view, friendly staff, ice cold beer and water. read more

A trip to Key West would not be complete without a trip to the waterfront restaurant by the name of Alonzo's Oyster Bar is the place to be. We came here expecting good oysters--and left absolutely impressed. The oysters were really fresh, briny, and served ice-cold. Each one tasted like a perfect bite of the ocean. They offer a great variety, and the shucker clearly knows their craft. Pro tip: Pair them with a crisp glass of white wine or one of their signature cocktails for the ultimate experience. The cocktails here were also really good. They were light, fresh and well balanced which was perfect for a sunny Key West afternoon. The vibe is laid-back yet lively, with that classic island charm. Sitting by the water while enjoying fresh oysters? Pure bliss. Service was friendly and attentive, even during a busy evening. You can tell the team takes pride in what they do. If you're looking for a spot that combines quality seafood, great drinks, and unbeatable views, Alonzo's Oyster Bar deserves a spot at the top of your list. Five stars, no hesitation. Will be back! read more

Wow. Cool place Right on the water We came here for happy hour around 4 pm Just in time for the tarpon feeding.! She said she feeds some little bits of Maui fish. Yum! We had the conch fritters.. My first time having them They were okay but not my favorite. Then we had the warm shrimp and crab dip With tortilla chips $11 so good! And you get a lot of it. We also had the bang bang shrimp tacos for $9 to get two of them. So good. And now we're stuffed so perfect amount of food. Friendly staff great atmosphere open air feel. Portions are great. read more

We had a good time at Alonzo's ... just into Key West, walking the Key West Bight harbor area, watched the tarpon feeding out front, and viola, it's happy hour! Cocktails good, oysters good, mussels a bit spicy but good. Staff friendly and great! Fun place to stop for a cocktail, time it for the 4:00pm tarpon feeding! Recommend Alonzo's! read more

What brought us in first was the perfect breeze blowing through their outdoor seating area! It was by far one of the best spots we ate outdoors at. The views are great and that breeze is sheer bliss on a hot summer day. We had the oysters and pretzels as nice little snacks and both hit the spot big time. Our server was attentive and very friendly. Definitely worth a stop. read more

Lots of good things about this place. It's located within the Key West Historic Seaport near many other restaurants, bars and things to do. They have a lot of outdoor seating with views of the water. The interior and restrooms were both clean and not terribly outdated. We didn't have to wait for a table, got seated outside right away on a Saturday evening during Memorial Day weekend. Our waitress was very attentive & quick. Lobster roll & mahi ruben were both delicious and the fries are truly something special. We also had the shrimp and lobster dip which was pretty good but nothing to write home about and I could say the same about the conch fritters. Overall a good experience, I would recommend & might be back next time we're in town. read more

I stopped in at Alonzo's Oyster Bar for happy hour. I got a table facing the marina. Great views but preferred the atmosphere at the conch republic sea food company next door. That aside, the prices for happy hour are unbeatable and the items on the happy hour menu are numerous. I stayed out with oysters, followed by conch fritters, and then ended with peel and eat local shrimp. The shrimp were steamed in a beer sauce which was a little on the salty side. Service was quick but not rushed and the waitress was very nice. read more

My wife and I returned from a snorkeling trip and were hungry. Alonzo's Oyster Bar was right there on the dock, overlooking the seaport. We shared an order of caviar oysters on the half shell, and they were yummy. I had the Mahi BLT and my wife had the clam chowder, they were both very good. The also have a good selection of local draft beers, that are served ice cold. The service is fast and friendly. Next time we're in Key West, we'll be eating there again. read more

Went here on the recommendation of my snorkel guide from Sebago (also recommend). Introduced my 15 yo son to raw oysters here. He tried the Pineapple Express (local FL variant) and didn't hate it! Count this as a win for him liking oysters! Had the hogfish and was impressed with the taste and texture. Wife tried the snapper and was very happy with her meal. When we come back to Key West I will definitely visit here again. Brenna was our server and hope to see her again next time! read more

My oysters and shrimp were great. Our service / server was horrible. Watched her walk past at least 7 times before even greeting us. She had 4 tables maybe, was not busy at all. We tried to order our entree with her and she said be right back and ten minutes later she came back and then they were out of the crab legs my wife wanted. She said I just put in the last order. My question is why not take my order when you're at my table. No knock on the food, just really annoying service. I'd still recommend the food. read more

It was 2 years ago and I still think about the tower with the oysters, caviar and crema can't wait until I give birth so I can come back and enjoy more! read more

We sat outside with a beautiful view of the water. The food was fantastic. My husband had a mahi-mahi BLT and I had peel and eat shrimp and onion rings. Everything was delicious. The service was fantastic and the vibe was very beachy. Definitely recommend. read more

Had a wonderful time at this restaurant by the docks. I was with a large group of fellows (38 of us) and they had us all set up when we arrived. I wish I could say something about an entrée, but the truth is that me and the fellows just ordered a whole lot of appetizers...and I mean a lot of them! A few of the guys did get entrées, and no one was complaining - it was great by report. We got shrimps aplenty, pretzels, fish bites, dips, cheesy things, stuff stuff stuff! And I ended up stuffed! Yummy! read more

Ok so I'm not a big seafood person, I know it's an oyster bar, but there were many options to replace shrimp with chicken which I thoroughly appreciated! My family and I got recommended this place by some of the tour guides for a snorkel place and they were very right. The waitress was nice and gave good recommendations for what to have when unsure. One of my family members says the hog fish is VERY good. There are many options on where to sit and no matter where you are you get a nice open vibe. You're right next to water so you can feel the breeze! read more

We had dinner at Alonzo's Oyster Bar and really enjoyed the setting--our table overlooked the marina with a great view of the boats coming and going. The vibe was relaxed and breezy, perfect for a Key West evening. The food was average--nothing particularly memorable, but nothing to complain about either. Same goes for the service: friendly enough, though a bit slow at times. Still, everything was pleasant overall, and the location really added to the experience. If you're in the area and want a casual seafood dinner with a nice view, Alonzo's is a solid choice. It's not going to blow you away, but you'll likely leave satisfied. read more

We chose Alonzo's because of the menu choices and location on the dock. After waiting about 20 minutes to be acknowledged by our server, I ordered the coconut shrimp which was delicious. My husband ordered the Avocado Crab salad which was very disappointing because there weren't any avocados. Just a huge pile of lettuce with a couple slices of tomato and cucumber and a few spoonfuls of crab meat. We notified the server and she said they were all out of avocados. The salad cost $26! We asked for a discount since one of the main ingredients was avocado. The manager gave us a $2 discount. No apologies or a visit. Very disappointing! read more

I quite enjoyed my visit to Alonzo's during a recent Key West trip. So much so, that I almost wanted to return a second time despite it being only a long weekend visit! Situated right on the water, Alonzo's offers a chill atmosphere and nearly unbeatable fish dishes. I also had my favorite drink of the vacation there: their key lime pie martini. So freaking good, especially with the graham cracker rim! We started with their smoked fish dip, which was tasty. My friend and I split the hogfish entree, which came with a heaping portion of green beans and mashed potatoes. It was my first time trying hogfish ever, and I was impressed. I also tried a bite of my friend's husband's snapper stack and oh my gosh, now I have such a craving for snapper. Can't find it anywhere near me at home in Virginia, though, sadly! Alonzo's has a pretty open-air vibe. The space seemed clean and spacious, service was friendly, and I wouldn't hesitate to return on future trips to the island. read more

Carol the hostess was amazing right away sat us down. We had gotten a few suggestions from businesses along the way my husband and I shared lunch. We had the fried calamari the wings and the mahi-mahi tacos. Everything was delicious. We sat outside because it is Valentines and we wanted to get some air instead of being inside it was perfect. I was told that the Keylime martini was delicious by a few of the businesses we walked into along the way and they were correct. It is so good even my husband who doesn't drink hard liquor like that loved it tasted just like a pie only downfall is no Apple Pay other than that spectacular everything was spectacular read more

I stopped in at Alonzo's while on a cruise with some girlfriends. We were exploring Key West and found ourselves at the marina, and hungry haha. My friends split a few dishes like nachos and oysters, but I got my own dish -- a Caesar salad with blackened shrimp. I got a hefty amount of shrimp which is always the best feeling! The one thing keeping me from giving an extra star is that the prices were a little more than I'm normally comfortable paying. Living up in the Tampa Bay area, I'm a big seafood girlie, but not at those prices. Also, the restaurant doesn't allow "multiple bills" when it's time to pay, and that was just kind of a headache. The food was very fresh though and it was quite relaxing sitting right out on the marina near the water. read more

great happy hour, so glad we found the place. Entertainment was a nice extra perk while we were eating.

If you're hungry and just want a casual place to eat then Alonzo's is the place for you. The food is pretty mediocre. Nothing crazy but gets the job done. Everyone is super friendly. Lots of seating and great casual place to hangout. Just don't expect the food to be anything more than average. read more

We came in as a large group on NYEs and they accommodated us happily!! Our server was so sweet- she ran the whole bar and still showed up every time with a smile and ensured we had all we needed! The vibe is definitely very casual but the Oysters are DELICIOUS !! We shared an oyster tower and I would have been happy with just oysters all night. I had the scallops for dinner and it was a large portion, wasn't a huge fan of the mash but the beans were well cooked! The fish dishes were also quite delicious and decadent. We ended with the dessert trio and it did not disappoint! Would def recommend for a casual night out! They also have games and a Photo Booth! read more

If this place were $10 less per dish, id give it 5 stars They seemed touristy and the entrees come with 1 lbs of green beans which don't get me wrong, I definitely didn't eat enough vegetables this trip but the plate is 80% green beans The coconut grouper for $38 was ok tasting. Grouper a little overcooked but flavor was nice Half the beans were crispy and half squishy The potato cake was very dense but bland For almost $40, I expected better. Also, I couldn't taste any coconut The scallops came with 3 large scallops for $42 and the scallops were great. Cooked very well and seasoned well but again 1 lbs of green beans + 3 huge portions of mashed potatoes (maybe 1.5 cups of potatoes) but at least they had some seasoning to them The server was very friendly and since they don't honor the yelp coupon for check-in (perhaps they could just remove it but ya know), the manager gave us a coupon for a free Bellini anyway which was very nice of them and definitely contributed to the 4 stars Oysters were definitely the star. If I wasn't pregnant, we'd have gotten raw oysters a plenty and nothing else. They have quite the variety and seem to shine on the seafood platters. We got some baked oysters and they were all good! The buffalo did have some kick to it which was a pleasant surprise. The random corn salad was quite tasty, as well. Overall, food was average. View was great. Service was good. Would probably not go back but I'm glad we tried it read more
