This was an excellent stop for lunch on our way out of the Keys. Unassuming on the outside but very clean on the inside. Our waiter was very friendly and attentive, with great food recommendations. We tried the fried conch fritters and stone crab chowder for an appetizer, and they were both delicious! We will be stopping here when we come back this way. You won't regret stopping here! read more

Great food, friendly service and the best key lime pie we had in the keys! This was our first stop when we got to the keys so I wasn't sure what to expect. I tried the house fish sandwich which was delicious - I would easily order it again and tried to find something similar during the rest of our trip but wasn't able to. I'm also very glad we finished with a slice of key lime pie for dessert because again, this unassuming restaurant had the best we tried all week! It was tangy without being too rich and the meringue was perfectly fluffy and light. I can't recommend Captain Craig's enough - definitely worth a stop in! read more

10/10 the food was simply amazing. At first it didn't look to pack but as we got the appetizers the locals start pouring in and to me that's a good sign. Man when I tell you the food was fresh and tasty! We plan to stop again. No complaints everything was delicious. Not pictures was the fish sticks the kids said it was really good no leftovers and looked like fresh fish. read more

The food was so good! Fish was perfectly cooked. Has two of the specials, yellow tail with crab cake and triple tail with tomato and garlic sauce. Lobster bisque was delicious, as well as the stone crab soup. The drinks were also great. read more

It just wasn't worth the hype. Run by a bunch of bored teenagers that couldn't be bothered with being polite. Overcooked shrimp and lobster, and I hope the stone crab is just known for being tough and impossible to get out of the shell? Don't go, drive on by. read more

This hidden gem may not look like much when you drive by it on the side of the road, but the food speaks volumes for this little hole in the wall seafood restaurant. Do not overlook this place, they offer fresh and quality seafood at a fair price unlike many places in Florida/Key areas. -The blackened Mahi-mahi Fish tacos were outstanding! I had been craving a good fish taco for days and this place delivered above and beyond. The pico de gallo was so fresh and I could taste they used key lime for the dressing. Got the the roasted oregano cauliflower as a side as per the suggestion of our waiter. -Fiancé had the pick two fry basket with fried shrimp and calamari. When I say shrimp I mean they put in huge jumbo prongs in that basket! Not even in NJ they give you shrimp that size in a basket. Could definitely tell they serve quality seafood. The menu offered varieties of catches of the day etc. Gotta say it again, Seafood gem! Must stop if you're cruising by the keys! -Our server was amazing as well might I add, he made great suggestions on what to pair the dish with and suggested the cauliflower seasoned with oregano and sea salt which sounds simple but it was light and tasty which is just what I wanted. He was very good and attentive and sincere with his suggestions which is just what you want your server to be. Definitely loved the service there. read more

We stopped for an early lunch on our way home from Key West and enjoyed the best meal of our trip! From the moment we entered the restaurant our experience was top notch. Our waitress was very attentive and had great recommendations. We found the decor tasteful and seating was comfortable. The stone crab chowder was very good, the triple tail tacos and fries were great but the star of the meal was the key lime pie with its mile high meringue. It was the best we've ever had and as native Floridians we tried a lot! Don't pass up on this great restaurant as you travel to the Florida keys. read more

We found this place during our poorly planned trip to Key Largo for the day. Upon entering the restaurant looked very clean and friendly. We were seated as soon as we got there. Our waitress seemed to be having a bad day, but her service was ok. She seemed offended when we asked for boxes, but someone in our party didn't want to take home her food. The calamari was the best thing that we had there. It tasted almost as good as our favorite restaurant back in our hometown. However, our meals were subpar. Nothing too special, but it wasn't horrible either. When I went to the bathroom, the toilet was a complete mess. It was a unisex restroom so anyone could use it. Toilet paper was all over the toilet and it looked like someone missed half the time. I'd come here again for the calamari, but I think we'll try somewhere else for seafood next time. read more

My wife and I ate here on a Tuesday night. She had the fillet and I had the Key Lime Seafood. AMAZING! Service was great and the food was fantastic! One of the best meals we had in the Keys. read more

Amazing lunch on our way home from Key West! Very casual atmosphere. Conch fritters were terrific- the cocktail sauce freshly made made them the best I've had. The fried shrimp, calamari and Mahi Mahi were perfect- light and crunchy on the outside, soft and tender on the inside. Stone crab meat chowder was hearty and tasty. We finished our meal with key lime pie that was the real deal - epic! Every calorie was worth it! read more

We came in for a late lunch last Thursday afternoon ~3pm. Our server was fantastic- made a great effort to help us find what we would enjoy. He was the definition of Hospitality (I work in this industry also). We ordered their famous Captain's fish sandwich w blackened mahi, grilled triple tail Captain style per his recommendation, and kids meal w grill shrimp. My 6year old's grilled shrimp was the biggest surprise- hands down one of the best grilled shrimp we ever had. We ended up adding another full grill shrimp entree. So 2 adults + 1 small child finished 3 entrees + 1 kids meal + a key lime pie . The grilled triple tail was well executed and the Captain style was a great recommendation. Fish sandwich was also amazing. Hats off to the chef- clearly someone who knows how to cook seafood well! Highly recommend. read more

Very welcome and super clean restaurant, everyone treats you nice, very professional and kind staff, the owners work there and they are always friendly and super nice. This is our favorite restaurant every time we go to the keys is a restaurant that we need to stop by and eat before coming back home. I have the most beautiful memories there with my better half. If you are going to the keys I recommend that you stop by; you are going to love their food. Here some pictures of our favorite dishes and the best desert. Dayo read more

What a little gem this place is. Doesn't look like much from outside but is nice and clean inside. All our meals were deelish! Our friends had the potato encrusted yellowtail and the grilled grouper. My husband had the fried shrimp and I had the shrimp scampi with linguine which was most excellent. We all had the key lime pie, homemade by the way. My only complaint I have is my app. I had the calimari which was pretty greasy. It didn't seem like it got to drain very much so there was quite a bit of grease on the plate. We will definitely go back again next time we're in town! read more

Came for Dinner while traveling here, place was clean and looks like they renovated it The service was very good, table and the employees followed the social distance rules!

I took the fried basket with 2 - fish and calamari The fried fish Mahi-mahi was very good and tender The calamari was mushy and oily. For desert we took the key lime that was OK Nice place to come for dinner. read more

Went there today with my wife and granddaughter at 11:30 am only to find The Rotary Club holding a meeting. One of their members said we could go to the patio and we would be served. Waited ten minutes and no one came to take our orders. We walked out and no one bothered to talk to us. Beware of this terrible service! read more

Delicious! Stop and no disappointment! We started with the Conch Fritters and Hubby had the captain fish sandwich! Fresh fish of course. My order was the grapefruit salad and topped it with blackened grilled tuna. Don't forget to add the key lime pie! read more

Delicious food and prompt and friendly service. Mash potatoes were fantastic. Ambience was okay.

A simple restaurant with friendly staff and fair food. The ambiance is nice and simple. Food was ok and not expensive like some of the places in the keys. My husband and I both ordered soup to start. He had lobster bisque which he loved and I did not care for. I found it had some strong spice that took the taste of lobster away. I had a conch chowder which tasted good but it wasn't my favorite only because I don't care for anything creamy and this was not a tomato base chowder. I ordered the fish tacos and upgraded the fish to grouper. It was very tasty and portion was good. My husband had the seared tuna appetizer. It tasted bland and defrosted. I tried it and did not like it. He didn't care for it either. The conch fritters were good. In all if you stick to local fish you can't go wrong. read more

Dope spot. Good service. Went while it was slow. Menu had great depth. It's tricky finding dope spots in the keys so next time we come back it'll be on our hit list. read more

Loved the stone crab soup and calamari. The fried yellowtail wasn't bad either - cooked very well but be careful with the bones! Also got takeout of the Cobb salads one night, which we enjoyed. Has both indoor and outdoor seating. read more

I was in search of a location that I could get a lighter dinner but still enjoy some food that was worthy of being in the Florida Keys. I decided to come to Captain Craig's because of the Stone Crab Chowder. The Stone Crab Chowder was delicious. It was well balanced with vegetables and pieces of stone crab throughout the soup. The broth was dairy based, and thankfully was to thick of rich. This allowed it to support all the goodies in the soup, instead of trying to steal the show. To go along with the soup, I also order the Summer Graprefruit Salad to go with my soup. The grapefruit was fresh, juicy and tart and the salad dressing balanced it out with sweetness. The sliced avocado and candied walnuts made the salad come alive with textures to accompany the great taste. The atmosphere at Captain Craig's is casual but the service was top notch. They are able to accommodate large family groups as well as the individual dinner. I enjoyed my meal and enjoyed the craftsmanship that went into making these two dishes. read more

I was craving a whole fried snapper and this hit the spot! It came with sweet thai chili sauce but it needs nothing but a fork and a hungry belly. The fish was soooo yummy. We also got the calamari which came with the thai chili sauce. I enjoy the change up from the traditional marinara or aoli. It was damn tasty. Beef and chorizo sliders, and the fried mahi snd shrimp basket were great! The shrimps were huge! Service was great and tables all social distanced apart. Super cute islandy decor inside. Cant beat the bogo drinks at happy hour too! read more

We have been coming here for 3 years and CC has always been a go to for us! Terrific fresh seafood, salads and key lime pie. Small place with not a lot of ambience but the good food and friendly staff more than make up for it. Their coconut shrimp is soooo tasty - just the right amount of flavor. Nice beverage selection , too- a staple in Islamorada read more

So I almost drove away there was no one in the parking lot and once inside no one inside either. I tend to believe if the parking lot is empty there is a reason . The table was sticky, not sure why this was. The menus stuck to the table. The conch came out glistening in oil. Not the best I've tasted. The shrimp didn't have any taste to it(no I don't have covid) the whole plate was way to greasy. The coke slaw was ok. The sandwich well it's a sandwich can't go wrong with that. Would definitely not recommend this stop as there are so many restaurants in the area one has to be good. I will give the tea a 4 stars as it was nice and was not to strong or too light. The waitress was kind and we were greeted quickly. read more

This was some of the best food I've ever had! We were too busy eating to take any photos. The smoked fish dip appetizer was the best fish dip out of many restaurants we've tried. So flavorful! And served with tasty crackers, diced red onion, diced tomatoes, and jalapeño slices. Yum! My dad and I both got the Summer Grapefruit Salad and added grilled shrimp. We were amazed at the size of the shrimp, and they were grilled to perfection. I don't know what seasoning they used, but my dad and I both agreed that was the best shrimp we've ever had. Do yourself a favor and add grilled shrimp to whichever salad you choose! My husband ordered the fish (mahi) sandwich. It looked fairly simple - fried fish, tartar sauce, cheese, and tomato on wheat bread. But that blend of ingredients made for a fabulous sandwich! The sweet tea was also great! I highly recommend Captain Craig's! read more
