Absolutely delicious. Went here twice while in Marathon FL for a week. Had fish both times and the fish was cooked perfectly. Garlic mashed potatoes were great and the side veggies were good. Go for the food as the ambiance and understand you are not going for the ambiance, though the did have cloth tablecloth, covered in paper. read more

Barracuda Grill - Updated Nov 2022 Menu - Seafood Near Me - Marathon, Florida

Food was pretty good! My wife got the Baby Steak and raved on how it melted in her mouth. My daughter in law got the Yellowtail Snapper and it was so much she couldn't finish it all. There were two huge filets on the plate. My son got the Rockhind Grouper and said it was good but he felt it lacked a little in the seasoning department. I had the Curried Brussel Sprouts, the tallow sauce was a bit sweet but definitely had the aroma and taste of Indian Curry. I added salt and pepper and a dollop of their butter and I felt it really changed the flavor for the better! The mashed potatoes everyone enjoyed! The steamed vegetables were under seasoned but then we like a lot of spice and seasoning so we're probably biased. I wish we took pictures but I forgot! Go though the food is well worth it! read more

Great food great service . I was reading some of the reviews about the food being expensive or not good , not accurate! This is a gem, waitress was a sweetheart (Yoni) and the food was excellent. Nice a relaxed place, can highly recommend. read more

We brought RJ's mom here on January 5 because it used to be one of his parent's favorite. Robert was our server and he was very attentive. We started with shumai dumplings and there were so many of them. They were excellent. My salad had fresh Parmesan, and we shared lobster bisque with large chunks of lobster. RJ's mom and I had grouper with lime butter and it was delectable, one of the best grouper dishes I've had down here. RJ had the same with hogfish. His was also amazing. The 3 of us also shared bananas foster and creme brûlée. Wow, food and service were outstanding. If there was a score higher than 5, that would be Barracuda Grill. read more

By far the best restaurant in Marathon as far as top notch service and food ! I haven't experienced service like yani in my lifetime of dining . She knew exactly what we would love and picked the best dishes for us to enjoy ! We will be returning weekly to this GEM !!!!!!!! read more

Best pesto we've had in years! Huge piece of grouper and veggies were cooked perfectly. Got there right after 6 and they were packed. Got the last table. They don't answer their phone so no reservations. Delicious meal! read more

We visited Barracuda Grill during our vacation to the Keys. We decided to go at the last minute and luckily there was not a terrible wait. They took us in about 20-30 minutes. The food was delicious! I ordered the yellowtail and loved it. Extremely fresh. The service was good, not outstanding. I thought the prices were very high for the place and that's why I gave 4 stars instead of 5. read more

Philly Steak Sandwich was served Hot on toasted bread. Very aromatic and tasted delicious The steak fries had a curl to them. Unique Hubby had the Rib Meat Tacos with beans and rice. The meat was tender but he said the taste was alright. read more

From start to finish, we had a wonderful experience here. Yani, our server couldn't have been more pleasant. Do yourself a favor and try the thai shrimp appetizer dish. It had just enough kick and sweetness and I wanted to take home the leftover sauce. Had the duck as our entree and it was also great. I thought it was a little strange that it came with mashed potatoes and thought Rice would've been a better accompaniment is my only gripe read more

We had the tiny steak - 5 oz filet mignon and two sides. It was delicious and larger than we expecting. Having said that, this place is a bit pricey given there's not a ton of ambiance. read more

Barracuda Grill - Menu 12/3/2021 - Seafood Near Me - Marathon, Florida

Nice atmosphere, not crazy which we liked. Waitress was spot on, courteous, funny, and had several tables. Had the scallops and salad here which were amazing. Also had the snapper which was cooked perfectly, and flavorful. Service and food were prompt. Ambience was quiet, reserved. Would recommend highly. read more

My Google Review, reposted: Is there a microwave in their kitchen? Maybe a better question; how many microwaves are in their kitchen? They might have a few half-working, because the food was half-warm. I believe they thought that chewing the vegetables before microwaving them was a good idea, but it didn't pan out. (I wish I took a picture of their "sautéed" vegetables). If the owner had a gun to his head, he couldn't tell me what sautéed means. A personal note to the owner: Having good reviews means that lots of people don't have taste, it doesn't mean your food is mostly good. Furthermore, the food isn't even mostly bad, it's all bad. The owner recommends McDonald's if you don't like their food. I highly recommend McDonald's because the culinary skill and service far exceeds this "restaurant." I considered calling in a bomb threat so I didn't have to pay. read more

The most important thing is the food and it was delicious. The service great too, and the ambiance was nice and chill.

We give this restaurant 10 stars. Too bad Yelp! Aroma of sautéed garlic -the scents of a great Italian restaurant as we entered. So you just know that you are in for a great meal. The food, service, and atmosphere are what I look for. This is top notch in all of my criteria. Our waitress Mallory was so personable, efficient, helpful. The post pandemic service issues have miraculously passed this fine establishment! All around great service from here! Appetizers: we had the edamame & white truffle oil. Devoured! Spot on!!The escargot & portobello in THAT CREAM SAUCE! Why did you not give us bread to dunk into that scrumptious sauce?! So so good! The salad and dressing (ranch & Caesar). So tasty. But HOLY TASTEBUDS- those SWEET DROP PEPPERS?! Where have they been my whole life?! Now entrees. The beef short ribs were delicious. The yellowtail snapper was so so tasty. Now, my entree of the key lime grouper. Should be illegal!! Off the charts ~~~~WOW!! We were all so full! Yet the amazing server Ms Mallory mentioned how she loves key lime pie & how good theirs is. Somehow she convinced us! Well. Of course my husband had to have it to go! While he did allow me a bite, I have to say that it was epic pie! BRAVO TO THIS ESTABLISHMENT!! Now every other meal we enjoy during our keys vacation will be ranked by this one.... read more

Well worth the wait. The mahi-mahi was delightful with mashed potatoes and veggies. Nice evening to sit out front. Friendly staff . Be patient as they might be short handed but who isn't these days. Loved everything about this place! Go!! read more

Don't judge this book by its cover. Outside is scary, inside is white linen and terrific food. We had the grilled yellow tail Snapper, and Hog Fish. It comes with the most delicious, fresh, interesting salad. The peppercorn dressing was so good I used it on the hot rolls. My husbands salad had big blue cheese chunks to go with his blue cheese dressing. So delicious I forgot to take a photo of anything after the salad. Beer and Wine only, with a small but diverse selection. EAT HERE! read more

Barracuda Grill - Dinner Salad... those are tiny peppers, sweet and juicy - Seafood Near Me - Marathon, Florida

This place is a joke! We ordered take out and the food is absolute trash! 60$ for a plain cheeseburger with no condiments, lettuce, tomato, onion...nothing! They didn't include my salad that came with my 20$ spaghetti (which is actually linguini) and frozen meatballs they reheated from a bag! The brownie Sunday looks like it came out of a frozen TV dinner from 1950! So disappointing! Eat somewhere else if you want a decent meal because this place sucks!!!!!! My mind is blown that it has 4 stars... Yelp usually is on point, but this time it completely missed the mark! read more

Fabulous restaurant, grilled snapper was amazing, best French fries I've ever had and the key lime pie is to die for , great service- don't miss this one if you are in the keys. read more

Pleasant surprise. We stumbled upon this one. The menu was incredibly inventive and the food was fantastic. Unusual flavors. We loved it.

Amazing food and service! Had the lobster bites and shrimp dumplings to start and ordered their pork shank (feel off the bone) tender and delicious! Others ordered the Mahi-Mahi, Grouper, and the seafood pasta. Absolutely the best meal we had all week!!! Try their homemade desserts flan or cream brûlée. Fabulous ending to a great read more

Fantastic meal, all the way around. For appetizers, We ordered the wahoo fish dip which was outstanding- nice smoke flavor, simple pickle garnish. We had a spicy shrimp app, that had a nice heat to it, but not too heavy. Next we're shrimp dumplings, with a sauce that didn't have much flavor, but the dumplings themselves had a great texture and taste. We added a Curry Brussels Sprouts to satisfy my likings, and while the curry aroma was strong, the flavor was a nice mellow balance. It was a wet preparation, and I normally like mine roasted and crispy, but these were a nice change. For Entrees, we had a seafood medley pasta special- lobster, Shrimp and Scallops which was done to perfection. A few of us had the Rock Hind Grouper special, which was cooked perfectly, and had a delicious Key Lime Butter. Personally, I had the yellow tail snapper with a nut butter. The fish portion was generous and cooked well, but the flavor wasn't much. I was wishing I had a different preparation (three options) after tasting someone's key lime finish. Beer selection was good- not overly large, wine was smaller. Service was fantastic, timing of food well done. Great decor- smaller place so calling ahead with a big group would be helpful. Will definitely return! read more

So I am super picky when it comes to service normally but in the keys you have to expect it to be a little more island time. Not here our server Robinson was awesome. He was super attentive even while handling multiple tables. Great service in the keys is hard to fine! This restaurant is run the right way! Ok the food. We had the Tipsy olives! Amazing! The fish dip with the sweet pickles is strongly recommended ! Best I have had in a very long time. There were 4 of us and not one single complaint for taste, temp or portion size! Amazing Barracudas now our favorite restaurant in the marathon area! I had the 4 scallops over pesto linguine!! It's gone and it's so so good! Strongly recommend it! read more

The Grilled Grouper is the best white fish I have ever eaten. Prepared to perfection. Pam grilled with a butter sauce. The Thai curry shrimp for a starter that was spicy and Devine. Better than any Thai restaurant and a very generous amount of shrimp. The size of an entree Topped the meal off with Key Lime Pie! Just the best in the keys. Bravo!! read more

I know a picture tell a thousand words but unfortunately we didn't take a picture of our meal. We had the fried conch fritters and chicken wings for appetizers. After having a fish meal at Ceviche 105 in downtown Miami we thought it can only get better or stay the same. This meal was way below par. We never had conch fritters so we have nothing to compare it to but wings we had in an abundance and it was over fried and tasteless. We order fried fish and substituted regular french fries with yucca fries. The waitress strongly suggested we have the regular french fries but we both enjoy yucca fries. This is where I wish we took a picture. It was a small fillet with 5 yucca fries. It was a meal for my 10yr old but the price wasn't. I was disappointed because we trusted the reviews. We learned to speak to the locals first because this wasn't it. read more

If you want a top-notch culinary experience, stop here for a meal. The server was attentive from the moment we walked in, answered all of our questions, and brought our food out promptly. We had been on the road all day and were famished, so this was much appreciated. The vibe is laid back but classy. The music playing was mellow indie, which was right up our alley. I ordered the crispy duckling which was served with an apricot whiskey sauce, complemented by delicious mashed potatoes and vegetables. The duck was the perfect balance of crisp and tender, and the flavor was not "gamey" at all. It was rich and decadent, and the sauce just elevated the dish even more. My husband ordered the ribeye with 4 shrimp. The steak was tender and slightly peppery which went well with the flavor profile of the mashed potatoes. The shrimp were perfectly cooked and seasoned. We didn't have room for dessert, but they all sounded delicious. I guess we'll have to make another visit... read more

Went to Barracuda grill several times in February and March this year while sailing the Keys. It was awesome. They had the best calamari I've ever had with a salsa and creamy lime sauce(I hope they never change it). The Decor was fun with the barracuda theme. Bright with windows. Their staff was very friendly. Excellent seafood. read more

Very nice return visit. For apps Had the fish spread and it was excellent as were the potstickers! Entrees were lamb chops for me and short rib for my wife, both exceeded expectations. Our server was very nice and efficient. We had a memorable anniversary dinner. We both had leftovers which were great again. read more

What an excellent meal!!! The specials were all delicious. It was kid friendly as well. We were a party of 7, 3 adults with 4 kids.

Had a wonderful meal !!! Will return !! The best meal we had in the keys in a long time!!

The menu reads well but everything on the menu has the same flavor. I have not been back in a while and probably will not for while.

What an incredible mixture of flavors.. when down in the keys you know very much what you are going to get... at Barracuda the taste of these dishes were an explosion of flavors.. totally recommend and would go back. Also the pace is very nice and the waiters were very professional and best table manners. read more
