    Conch fritters, smoked fish dip
    Maria M.

    Super relaxed place for a lunch, make sure you sit outside by the canal for a nice view. Always friendly waiters and service! The smoked fish dip is a must-have appetizer!

    THE BEST RESTAURANT EVER! I have been here so many times and it never fails to disappoint! Their food is outstanding, the staff is so friendly, the view is incredible - I can't say enough marvelous things about Buzzards Rooster. If you're looking for great seafood in the keys, save yourself some time and go straight to Buzzards Roost!

    Loved this place... found on Yelp and didn't disappoint. When you drive up it seems like you're in front of a house ( we weren't sure we found it. It's a a great restaurant with a great view. Indoor and out door seating and a bar. The menu is amazing (see pics). I had the lobster Rueben that many yelpers wrote about. I thought it was good but not sure lived up to the hype ... still, I really liked it. ( $33). The other meal was chicken marsala over angel hair. This was a huge portion that could have easily been shared ( 'uge) Also had the onion loaf with horseradish, this was awesome. For drinks I had a key lime vodka martini... was very good. The service was great , super friendly. We'd def come back and try some other menu items.

    Cute restaurant with nice vibes and outdoor seating right off a canal that was idyllic on the December evening I visited after Art Basel on my way to Key West. They had a dry erase board with specials and funky little drawings near the front door. Stuff like that warms my heart as I've spent many an hour producing work like that at restaurants. I had the conch. I had to look up on my phone what conch even was! I'd come across references to Key West as the Conch Republic maybe 2 or 3 times but never bothered to find out what conch actually is. I was on vacation and feeling adventurous and figured if I was going to the Conch Republic I should actually try conch. Well, I don't think I like sea snails very much. Of course I have no idea what good conch is and what bad conch is and it's no fault of this restaurant I wasn't a big fan of something I blindly rolled the dice on. Like one time I went to a restaurant and ordered liver and onions just cause I'd never had it my whole life. Not Palmer's Inn's fault I didn't like liver and onions. And I at least would prefer conch over that. I did eat all my conch as I was hungry and I hate wasting food. I didn't complain to the waitress either. She was nice and gave me good service so I wasn't going to give her a hard time about some cuisine I knew nothing about. I've still never had escargot and this makes me think I won't sing the praises of that either. I forget what sides I ordered as it's nine months later and I'm just getting caught up on some old reviews. My vegetables did hit the spot, though, and I drank a water and cranberry juice and even considered dessert but didn't bite before hitting the road to bed down in Islamorada. Probably should be an incomplete grade here but sometimes I just review places as a trip down memory lane to help keep their memories alive for future days. Who knows if I'll ever make it back to Key Largo so I'm leaving this here for posterity.

    Amazing!!!

    Shout out to our amazing waitress Chevy she was awesome and friendly! Thank you staff for another amazing meal. Don't get a menu and just order their amazing lobster Reuben while you sit outside at the marina and melt your stress away! The key lime pie is to die for! Thank you again for another amazing meal! Every year we come on our way to our vacation home and then back from airport. Don't miss this hidden gem!!! Staff is awesome and always have a smile on their face! Thank you again!

    Really good food, we sat outside by the water soon as we arrived. Loved the food and the vibe was great. The beers were awesome, and I ordered the coconut battered mahi sandwich that's was absolutely delicious. Would come back again and order it

    Seafood Veracruz.

    Wow, visiting the Miami area, we spent a couple days in Key Largo and came across this restaurant. Before you read any further, call the airline, get a ticket, stay on the ground for at least three days, and call the restaurant and make sure Ali is working to be your server. Ali is worth the wait. Plan your trip around Ali. Did I say " Seafood Veracruz? Picture attached. I have been lucky enough to eat at amazing restaurants all over USA, Canada, Mexico, England, France, Ireland and the Caribbean. I have had hundreds of memorable meals. Seafood Veracruz beats them all. The only thing better was Ali's sparkling personality and attentive service. Restaurant says it is an occasional special but they always have the ingredients so just ask. If you are still reading, STOP! Pack Leave Tell Ali Ron & Family sent you. PS: Beautiful location for a sunset meal or to propose! Seafood Veracruz Ali Your Welcome

    Elite modern review:…read more Very modern and trendy place to be. Perfect for young adults and college crowds looking to have a great time. The music was on point, creating an energetic vibe all night. The bar setup was amazing, fast service and great drinks. Overall, a fun atmosphere with good energy, stylish crowd, and a place I would definitely come back to.

It is a little tricky to find it, once you find the parking lot, it is super confusing as to where you enter. There are two floors and multiple doors. Finally someone directed us up the stairs and to the back of the building. We were greeted and given menus fairly quickly, but it took an extraordinarily long time to get our food that day. The hollandaise sauce was atypical as it tasted like there was cheese in it. The smoked salmon on a bagel tasted okay, but fell apart when it was picked up. The breakfast burrito lacked a lot of flavor.The blueberry pancake, although slightly overcooked, was actually very good. The bacon and fried potatoes were not crisp, as I prefer them. So if you like crispy bacon and fried potatoes, ask for that when placing your order. The windows and floors are dirty and the women's bathroom had a round hole with a dirty sock stuck in it on the floor. I actually tripped over it. And the bathroom could have been much cleaner. With a few improvements, Sharkeys could be more appealing to tourists going through and visiting the Keys.
