As a family we have been to Key West several times and always eat at this restaurant each time we visit. Last night was a terrible experience! We were a party of 15, all seated and ready to order our meal. Drinks were already ordered. Not delivered. One of the young girls (three years old) was having a moment and crying. Her Dad tried to calm her down. Took her away from the table. The owner or manager, an angry man with horrible people skills, actually threw us out and insisted we leave. We are a respectable family and have NEVER been asked to leave any establishment. A complete disgrace. His concern was that the Dad of the little was rude to his staff. When the Dad asked how so, this angry man would not answer. Maybe it's time for him to retire??? Terrible situation. We will never, ever be back. Very sad. read more

Very impressed with the food quality snd how fast it came out of the kitchen on a busy night The Salmon was excellent and the vegetable medley and Bruschetta appetizer equally good Our server Pilar was outstanding! Good choice for restaurants read more

Although it's right in the heart of the tourist district, The Boat House is, in my opinion, one of the best local deals for happy hour from 4-6 p.m. Their happy hour is generous enough to keep you full until dinner -- if you're even still hungry afterward. The selection is impressively broad, with every item on the "Small Plates" menu offered at half price. Choices range from conch fritters and steak-tip skewers with mushrooms to some of the most delicious lamb chops I've had. The small plates menu alone is worth checking out before you go, and the half-price drinks make the deal even better. read more

We sat overlooking the boat harbor. Fresh air felt great. Servers worked together. We shared peel and eat shrimp. Fun , fresh and tasty. The yellowfin tuna salad was filling and scrumptious. The wasabi mashed potatoes with the fish of the day were phenomenal. We will try to make those at home. I would come back if we lived closer. read more

I was deployed in Key West, FL for 4 months. I ate at some great restaurants. I was told to try the Boat House. The food is amazing, and they have the best buffalo shrimp. The pink shrimp are sweet and succulent. The lamb chops will disappear after 3 bites. The ambiance is great noisy atmosphere. I love all the boats and yachts. I had the best bourbon ale beer. I made a point to stop here and have a great meal before heading back home. When you're in Key West, FL you'd better stop and enjoy the happy hour and dinner at the Boat House. To all my yelpers let's continue to eat our way through the world.##Foodie4life. read more

Happy hours is the bomb. The place is packed. Our server could have been not attentive but it appears she had to large of a table count. She was simply overwhelmed with the amount of tables she had in my opinion. read more

Seated right away and service was quick and efficient. Fish-n-chips were crispy and fresh. Shrimp was plump and tasty. Only disappointment was the beer could have been colder on a hot sweltering day. read more

Went again this year and it was just as good but we purchased more small plates. Remember to go between 4-6:30pm because it is half price on the menu. Also certain drinks are as well. We ate conch fritters which were the best, bbq ribs which were tender and yummy, fish bites ( yummy grouper) and the lobster tempera which was delicious but not very filling (about 4 bites). Please note we always order the mushrooms and filet (4 kabobs), which they are renown for and I recommend. They have homemade pickles which come free with the filet kabobs and their bbq ribs only. Delicious. Otherwise $7. See photos for close ups. read more

Boat House Bar & Grill at Turtle Kraals is my favorite dinner spot in Key West. I drove six hours just to have dinner here, and I'd do it again without hesitation. I ordered the Combo Seafood Platter, and it was outstanding. The fried shrimp, fish, calamari, and rice were all cooked perfectly--crispy, fresh, and full of flavor without being greasy. It was one of the best seafood platters I've had anywhere. We finished the meal with a slice of Key lime pie, and it was the perfect ending. What really makes this place special is the staff. Everyone was welcoming, attentive, and genuinely made us feel like valued guests. Between the incredible food, laid-back waterfront atmosphere, and exceptional service, Boat House Bar & Grill has become a tradition every time I visit Key West. It's one restaurant I recommend without hesitation, and I'll gladly make the six-hour drive again. read more

One of the best restaurants in Key West to catch happy hour deals. Seating along the window line is open to the outside providing a means to people-watch and see all the activity happening in the area. This is a busy restaurant most of the day but staff did a great job taking care of our table during our visit. We stopped in during happy hour to sample some of what they have to offer. We chose the Kentucky Bourbon Barrel Ale ($9, HA price $4.50), Beer Battered Shrimp ($15.95, HA price $7.98), Boat House Bites ($13.95, HA price $6.98), Soup of the day - Clam Chowder ($5.48), and the Key Lime Pie ($9.95). The food here was fresh and delicious. My favorite items were the clam chowder and Boat House Bites. The chowder was made in house and they didn't skimp on the clams. The fish used in the boat house bites was Grouper, impressive! Everything we ordered was off the 'small bites' menu except the soup and key lime pie. The total before taxes/tip came to $37.51. I couldn't imagine spending double for the items we ordered, so keep it in the back of your mind that it is expensive to dine here if you're ordering off the main menu or not visiting during happy hour. All-in-all, a great dining experience while staying in the Keys, I would will absolutely stop back in again on my next visit to the area. read more

Last time I was in KW, I came to the Boathouse twice. This time around I also visited on two different occasions. It is crowded....because I'm there at happy hour. Seems like they might have shortened happy hour this year? I was always able to grab a seat at the bar. They have "small plates" at half price. Believe me they are not big and I would not pay full price for them. But at half price they are great. They're tasty too, One thing I noticed are the bartenders, all were female usually in their 20's and 30's, very friendly too. They move at an incredible pace. Getting their jobs done, while still making small talk with the patrons. The reason I bring this up is that Key West moves at a very slow pace, so this environment is shockingly refreshing. Your beer glass is never empty, the food arrives promptly and the other diners, at least at the bar are friendly. Plenty of TV's if that's your thing. Also can eat outside. They do not take Discover Card. Highly recommend this place. read more

My husband and I chose this restaurant for their location on the water, great reviews and the menu had exactly what we were looking for. They have a great Happy Hour until 6:00pm but we were more interested in dinner so we got there at 6:15pm and were seated right away. Our server was very prompt and helpful with suggestions since we had never been to this restaurant. We had the Lobster Tail and Fish 'n Chips, both with the daily vegetable and mashed potatoes. read more

Wonderful Happy hour food and bev's at the Boat house in Key West with fabulous, attentive, server Patty 4-6pm Monday to Friday. Half prices on all Small plates so you could get 2 for the price of one.

There were 5 conch fritters on each small plate, there were 4 good sized mignon tips with 4 mushrooms on each and 3 large meaty baby back ribs on each small plate which also included a salad, sweet pickles and mini tomatoes garnish on each. read more

Went for lunch on a rainy day. You have to pay to park (or walk really far) The place was pretty empty. Our waitress was friendly. Slow service- I almost got up to go get my own water. We had the conch fritters- they were cooked pretty dark. I had the hamburger- I asked for rare it was medium. Prices are high. read more

Huge menu offering. Right on the marina dock, but that also means a lot of tourists walking by watching you eat. We missed Happy Hour, but the drinks we had later were a full pour. Coconut Shrimp appetizer was great. Service seemed a bit hurried, think she had too many tables. Good value for the $$$$, we will be back!! read more

I remember the atmosphere was cool. We stopped for a quick dinner after taking a sunset cruise with limited food options, so I was to liquored up to give honest review of the food but it did fill me up also the reason some of it was eaten before I remembered to take a pictures. read more

This was a great spot to have happy hour in Key West. There is always a seat available at the bar and the bartenders are quick to help. The food selections were good for happy hour and so were the drinks. My favorite item was the lamb chops. The ambiance is very casual and laid back. It can be cooler sitting at the bar vice outside. The price was very fair and reasonable for Key West. read more

A Very good location on the waterfront after we just got off a sailboat made this a perfect stop. A nautical vibe, good fresh food, laid back dockside atmosphere all nice. Fresh panco-crusted mahi with Caesar salad and roasted red potatoes were perfect. Plus a nice portions to enjoy splitting a meal. The zesty key lime pie was perfect finish! Love the lime pop. read more

Taylor took great care of us Friday. We were in town for the races and they were BUSY! They got us seated pretty quickly and Taylor won us over on the key lime colada. Very refreshing. The buffalo shrimp are, hands down.. the best I've ever had! Don't skip over them! Skirt steak dish was cooked just right. Boat house was the perfect stop to unwind after our 4 hour drive down. Thank you Taylor! read more

Very crowded and not the best vibe because of this. Food is good but service staff is overwhelmed.

One of the best happy hour deals in key west - half off select drinks and all small plates! We did tapas style with the fam and split a whole bunch of small plates for dinner. The honey bbq chicken wings and ribs were absolutely delish. We had to get two orders of both! Conch fritters were solid. Fish bites were average. And the coconut shrimp were yummy and perfectly crispy with a delicious sweet chili sauce. I was slightly unimpressed by the mojito (minimal flavor) but hard to beat the half off pricing at happy hour. Really fun interior looking out on the water with fun decorations and upbeat ambience. Our waitress (I think her name was Vicki) was really hustling and we appreciate her attentiveness! read more

Went for Happy Hour (HH) twice. The shrimp are the best! During HH all Small Plates are 1/2 off and certain drinks also. Again, you have to get the shrimp, they are on the Small Plate list and are 1/2 off during HH. They are Key West shrimp and they are cooked just right and delicious. I tried the Mojito, I couldn't drink it. The waitress seemed unconcerned about that. This is right on the waterfront and it's lovely. The weight staff is very friendly also. We tried the loaded bread, way too much oil/butter for me. A lot of fried items for HH--not my favorite thing. I didn't get to try the lobster. It looked delicious. Next time. read more

The staff was very friendly at this location. Came for a late lunch after our drive to the Keys. Got to sit outside along the docks but there is plenty of seating inside as well. There are boat flags hung all over the ceiling as decor. Outside was nice but very sunny. The food came out in a reasonable time frame and was very fresh. The fish and fries were nice and crispy. The salad had great flavor. Both were good portions. I would come back for the views! Not many places to eat on the water read more
