    Bottle of wine

    What a great find. The reviews on Yelp were very helpful. When we pulled in I wasn't sure what to expect, from the outside it doesn't say this is the place. But, once you walk in the place is really cool. The food was excellent and the portions were shareable to say the least. The edamame and calamari was delicious. We shared the seafood special and they plated it individually for us. Be sure to ask about off menu items, there were a lot. Best part is we went on our second night in Marathon and we are already planning to return again before we leave. Great spot!

    Grouper

    Went for dinner on a Monday evening. Only a few tables were seated! Asked to sit outside. Server was lovely and attentive. We had the Brussel sprout in curry app. It was ok. No spice, but tasty. Husband had the grouper and said it was good. I had the lamb chops. I wanted to love them, but they were a bit tough. Overall a good experience though!

    Delicious homemade tomato soup

    Attractively decorated air conditioned with very nice lunch fare Fresh food prepared as ordered Grilled mahi-mahi over salad was great BLT very good with wonderful homemade French fried potatoes A very nice homemade tomato soup Friendly staff hustling Clean well stocked restrooms I would recommend the Barracuda Grill

    Fish spread
    Giga S.

    Only beer and wine? No problem! The best appetizer was the escargot and mushrooms- I never expected it to be prepared that way- outstanding! The seafood pasta with vodka sauce was perfection. Just keep asking for warm, succulent bread and dip away!

    Yellowtail snapper with double vegetables (I skipped the mashed potatoes)
    Roger M.

    Very good, but not outstanding food served in large quantities. Great value in comparison to other sit down restaurants on Marathon. The fish here is better than anything I get back at home. But, after a week of eating yellowtail snapper at different places, I found this dinner credible and not the best. If I came here first, I may have given a fifth star. In the other hand, there was so much snapper that I couldn't finish it. Ship the shrimp shumai appetizer. Never had deep fried shumai before. And the dinner is so big, you don't need the appetizer.

We even made our reservation over a month in advance because this dinner has become a tradition for our family. Unfortunately, this year's experience has been incredibly disappointing. We've been sitting here for well over two hours and still have not been served our food, while multiple tables that arrived after us have already received their meals. We understand that large parties can take longer, but this delay has been excessive, especially with no clear communication about what was happening. If the restaurant is no longer able to accommodate parties of this size, it would be appreciated if that was communicated when reservations are made instead of having guests wait for hours. It genuinely saddens me to write this because this restaurant has always been one of the highlights of our annual trip. I truly hope this was just an off night, but this experience has left our entire group very disappointed.

Absolutely no complaints about the food or service. The cocktails left a little to be desired however; very small cups that we found lacking in flavor, but they looked tropical.

We started with the best coconut shrimp I think I've ever had. It's the famous pink shrimp of Florida & the coconut breading was divine ! light, delicate crispy, served with a tasty mango chutney, dipping sauce, just perfection. by the way, this went perfectly with a crisp, white wine and my husband's tropical drink. Next, we had to get an order of the delish oysters Rockefeller, smothered with creamy spinach, and tons of lemon juice. Wow those gulf oysters are wonderful ! So Tender. For our main, we got the Grouper Fish Sammie's with fries & coleslaw. I had mine blackened, and my husband went with classic. The fish was so fresh and seasoned perfectly. Don't miss this gem on your way down the keys.

It's legitimately one of the oldest continuously operating restaurants in the Florida Keys, which gives it a lot of built-in credibility before you even sit down. Walking up to it, you feel that history. The exterior, the gravel lot, the signage--it's pure roadside Keys. Inside, it leans into that "local bar meets tourist stop" vibe: long wooden bar, TVs, stickers everywhere, taps lined up. Then you open the menu and it pivots in every direction--New England chowder house, BBQ joint, burger shack, seafood spot. It's not clear what it wants to be, and that lack of focus carries straight through to the food. We started with both chowders. The clam chowder looks right at first glance, but the texture tells you everything--thick, almost gluey, clearly roux-heavy. The flavor leans aggressively fatty, closer to margarine than butter, with very little clam presence. No briny backbone, no pepper, no lift. We ended up dumping in black pepper and hot sauce just to make it remotely acceptable--but even then, that heavy fat note kept pushing through. Nothing about it reads as New England. The conch chowder fares a bit better. You can actually see a decent amount of conch, and there's a peppery edge that helps. But the broth is thin and lacks the chunky, stewed tomato depth you expect from a proper Keys-style conch chowder. After having it done right earlier at Key Largo Fisheries, the difference was obvious. Then there are the Texas Twinkies--and the photo really says it all. On paper, this should work: jalapeños wrapped in bacon, stuffed with brisket, pulled pork, cheeses, and sauce. In execution, it's just too much. Too much cream cheese, too many competing sauces, meats chopped into a soft, indistinct filling. It collapses into a heavy, muddy bite that feels more overwhelming than satisfying. Looking back at the menu, the simpler move--burger, ribs, even wings--probably would have been the right call. Instead, we ordered straight into the identity crisis. And that theory held up. We went back and grabbed a burger later--cooked a proper medium rare, with well-done, crispy fries--and it was easily the best thing we had from them. I wanted to like Herbie's. There's history, personality, and clearly a loyal following. But between the confused concept and uneven execution, the move here is simple: stick to the basics.

Baked Brie Provencale was tasty but a joke at $26. My wife loved her Chicken Parmesan.

For $88 I'd have preferred a thicker steak with a smaller footprint. His wife's risotto with fresh catch of yellowtail snapper was very good. Lighting was weird and we were seating at the back in the service galley, which sucked. Our waiter, whose name escapes me, didn't seem to care about much of anything, For almost $600 for four people in the keys, I'd expect more.
