Being from Florida and a very frequent visitor of the Keys we really wanted a burger. Well let me…read moretell you this place was A M A zing! We sat outside over looking the bay, which was nice. I didn't see any indoor sitting but hey, it's the Keys. Our server was so nice. He was very quiet and consistently smiling! Now let talk food! The hush puppies were absolutely perfect!! They served them with raspberry dip amazing. We both got the bacon cheeseburger. It was perfectly done, charbroiled, so juicy so good highly recommend. My favorite pie is a true key lime pie!! I took a leap and ordered the fried key lime pie....yes yes yes yes!!!! We will be back!

EASILY some of the BEST food I've ever had in my life -- no exaggeration…read more We went all in: shrimp tacos, chicken tacos, carne tacos, the shrimp po' boy, and the fried pork... and EVERY. SINGLE. THING. was unreal. Like, not one weak item on the table. But let me be clear -- that shrimp po' boy??? ABSOLUTELY STOLE THE SHOW. I'd go back for that alone. The whole place has that perfect outdoor Keys vibe -- laid back, great energy, just straight-up good times. And the service?? Top tier. Olivia and Mikey were on point the entire time -- super friendly, nailed the order, and made the experience even better. Huge respect to the kitchen too -- Marcus and Chapel are putting out some seriously special food. You can TASTE the effort and care in every bite. This place isn't just good... it's the kind of spot you think about after you leave. A spot you talk about until you go back. We'll 1000% be back. Probably way too soon

Five stars for Brutus!…read more Ambiance: The vibe and decor is beautiful! Tropical island feels! Everything is super clean and the space is bright ! Large outdoor terrace completely shaded and large trees near by for a wonderful breeze! Service: our waitress was super friendly and very fast and accommodating. She made a lot of suggestions about the menu which we appreciated. Food: what I loved the most is that everything was super fresh. We had the fish ceviche. So good!! Good portion as well. Also had the yellowtail sandwich - very fresh! Ordered the taco salad with filet mignon on top! Very good! Steak was cooked perfectly as ordered. Brutus serves breakfast daily and they have Sunday brunch! Love those options! Definitely coming back often! A gem in our neighborhood!

This is a fun casual spot with good food.

We decided to try their thirty cent wings and shrimp. Along with the happy hour food, we enjoyed a couple of brews. Happy Hour runs 4pm-6pm every day. Our server was swamped but he still managed to take great care of us. This lively spot opened in 2006 and their focus is good times, fresh fish and refreshing cocktails. Location is behind the Fairfield Marriot right off the Overseas Highway. Plenty of parking. Live music here too on certain evenings. We really enjoyed our experience and we tried to come back last year to eat again. Unfortunately, the day we came they were closed. We will try again the next time we are down here in the Keys. Good times were definitely had here!

People applauded, customers & staff alike. I'd put in the wait time and a good tip. Yum Yum I'll be back when it's not Friday.

We stopped here for lunch with friends bc another place we were going to didn't have a spot to park…read moreand boy was it lucky for us. We were seated right away outside on the patio. My friends loved watching the iguanas roam around outside in the parking area while we waited in our food. I ordered the poke nachos and they were amazing. The flavors were great together and the presentation was upscale. Only thing I would have done to improve them was to add a bit more poke itself on them. Otherwise 10 out of 10. My husband order the conch fritters. They were good. They were served with several options for dipping sauce. Although they also touted the best key lime pie in the keys we didn't get it. Maybe next time. This is a place I would stop back at just for the poke nachos. As an army mom I also loved that they were a veteran owned restaurant.

The food was great, the service was friendly, and the atmosphere was exactly what we were looking for. It definitely has a bit of a 1970s, rough around the edges, Old Florida vibe, but that's part of the charm. Nothing fancy, nothing pretentious, just a great casual spot for lunch while passing through Marathon Key. At the end of our meal, we watched the kids feeding the fish by the marina, which was a fun way to finish the visit. Great food, great service, waterfront atmosphere, and plenty of character. We'd definitely come back.

We were seated at a picnic table with a fan which makes the heat bearable in late July. Our waitress came to take our orders right away as we were on the edge of happy hour ending to see if we wanted drinks or food from the specials. I thought that was good of her since often restaurants shut that down early. There is a LOT on the menu. With a name like Porky's we should've all just stuck with the pork. We placed our order. Various food around the table. Lots of tacos. Some grouper, Mahi Mahi, snapper and fried lobster. Some ordered pulled pork plates and I got the lobster bisque and pulled pork tater tot nachos. The pulled pork was good. There didn't seem to be a lot of fish in the tacos. The bisque tasted like Campbell's tomato soup with some lobster added. I wasn't a fan. It was all sadly underwhelming UNTIL the dessert menu rolled out. My husband wanted to try the deep fried key lime pie with raspberry reduction sauce and it was AMAZING!! Made the whole dinner worth it. We would come back just for that. So if you're coming here don't skip the dessert.

We came here for a late dinner and to hopefully catch the sunset. We timed it fairly spot on. They…read moresaid it would be about a 20-25 minute wait but it actually took less than 15 minutes. We got seated inside just as the sun was starting to set. Sadly all the guests that had finished eating right before us decided to walk over to the dock outside the restaurant which just so happened to be the exact viewing location for the sunset so we didn't get any really good photos of it bc there were so many people over there videoing it and taking photos. It was still nice scenery while we waited for our food though. I ordered ceviche to start us off as our appetizer and it was really good. My dinner was a pasta dish with shrimp and scallops. The sauce was supposed to be a white cream sauce but it was really runny. Even adding extra Parmesan cheese to it didn't help thicken it. It tasted ok. Not my best pick. I had a choice of soup or salad with it. I chose their she crab soup and I'm glad I did. It was great. Almost reminded me of homemade chicken and dumplings soup just with crab. I really liked it. I should have stopped with that and the ceviche. My husband got a grouper fish sandwich. He thought it was good but the prices were a bit high for what it was. His fish sandwich was $29. Although good, not worth $29. My pasta definitely not worth the $31. May be a bit of a tourist trap but the food was decent.

Mahi sandwich was good, but you get such a small amount of fish. It was very thin, and then I had to wait an extra five minutes after the food got there to get my side.

We visited several restaurants while we were in the Keys, and this ended up being our favorite…read moreoverall. It wasn't the best meal we've ever had, but it was definitely the best food we had during our trip. Our favorites were the conch fritters, which were delicious, and the Angus cheeseburger, which was honestly the best thing we ordered. The mussels were also excellent and full of flavor. The shrimp ceviche was decent, but it could have used a little more seasoning, citrus, or zest. It felt a bit dry and didn't have the bright, fresh flavor I was expecting. The seafood platter was the biggest disappointment, especially considering the price. The mahi was under seasoned, and the texture wasn't enjoyable. The crab cakes had a fishy taste, and while the scallops were just okay, the shrimp was actually very good. The sweet potato side was delicious, but overall the platter didn't feel like a good value for what was served. Overall, despite a few misses, this was still the best dining experience we had in the Keys. The service was good, and there were enough standout dishes that we'd come back. I'd recommend sticking with the conch fritters, mussels, Angus cheeseburger, and shrimp.

The drinks are made perfectly and there's a large menu to choose from. In addition, the prices are very reasonable. When you first walk in, there's a large wrap-around bar that is usually full to the brim with happy patrons. But don't worry - walk to the other side of the bar and there's a large patio chock full of additional seating. Thankfully, the view from any angle is beautiful because you are... dockside! You are right on the water! Check their social media accounts to see the who and what - because the place is always offering some type of live music act. If you need a low-key, super casual, and relaxing environment - but also want great drinks and fare - then go to Dockside Bar and Grill.
