This place was soo good and the location was perfect! I really enjoyed the fries and shrimp and the speed of which the food came out was really good. Plus the marina was right there. The service was nice and friendly and it had a typical beach style ambiance. This definitely gets the MrBucketlist Approval! -MrBucketlist on Youtube read more

Conch Republic Seafood Company was our first meal in Key West after landing, checking into our hotel, and realizing we were starving. The place was absolutely packed. We were quoted a wait, so we grabbed a couple seats at the bar instead, which ended up being the right move. I'll admit, at first glance I thought this might be one of those touristy waterfront spots that survives mostly because of its location. I was wrong. The bartender pointed us toward a couple of dishes that he said were favorites, and he absolutely nailed it. I had the local catch of the day with vegetables and a chimichurri sauce that was incredible. My husband ordered a pasta dish that the bartender said was a staff favorite, and he loved it. The food was excellent, but the bartender really elevated the experience. He was funny, easy to talk to, and knew the menu well enough to steer us in the right direction. The waterfront location doesn't hurt either. We arrived tired, hungry, and not expecting much. We left talking about how good the meal was. The fish was, in fact, off the hook. read more

A great place for people watching, waterfront view. Lots of activity and a great place to watch & feed the fish near the boats. I ordered a key lime mojito, conch chowder & fish of the day sandwich. Everything was delicious. My friend had the chicken tenders appetizer and it was some of the tastiest fried chicken I've had in a while. She said the ribs were yummy too. Our server had perfect timing with out food. Loved viewing the activities on the dock. read more

We have been coming here for two decades - we even had our rehearsal dinner here. Figured time for a review. This is a Key West staple. It is always fresh and delicious. Our favorites are the coconut shrimp and stuffed shrimp. All of the bartenders are great, but our all time favorite is Doug. He is always friendly and welcoming. Great location and chill music - a solid choice on the island. read more

Conch Republic Seafood - Island Salad with the biggest cucumbers ever - Seafood Near Me - Key West, Florida

I want to be clear that there is no indoor seating (some of the reviews are misleading). The dining area is under a roof and they have a few fans spread out to try to help keep the air flowing but I would not recommend for a hot day. We were a party of 10 and they automatically add a 20% tip (not uncommon in Florida) but I don't think it was deserved as the service had issues. Our waiter, Mike G., was attentive at the beginning however didn't check on us much after we ordered. I would not recommend the Conch Fritters, one person ordered them but when they arrived they were essentially burnt. She told Mike she didn't want them and just asked to return them, but Mike said he didn't know if he could take them off the ticket and had to ask a manager. Instead of removing them as requested he just put in another order for them, and told us while running to attend another table so we didn't have a chance to respond. The conch fritters didn't arrive until after everyone finished eating and were visibly burnt on the outside. Overall the place was okay. However, if you are going to charge automatic tip, make sure your staff lives up to it. read more

You saw the five stars and now I'll tell you how this began. Walking up to the place to meet my friends, I noticed an ambulance was there with its lights on. Pretty auspicious beginning, right? Anyway, my friends were at an outside table luckily covered by an umbrella. It was a feel like temperature of 103. Water was immediately requested along with a beer. Must stay hydrated. This is a very active place and just the people watching was worth it. Our waiter never went more than a few minutes before refilling our water and of course, the beer. Being so hot, I ordered a Caesar salad. It was quite large and very very good. Lots of Parmesan and dressing. I can't testify to what their other dishes taste like but judging from the crowd, I'd say they were more than satisfactory. Oh, and that ambulance, false alarm read more

We heard of this place and yes it was good my wife had the pasta and it was good and I had a burger and it was good just a but on the salty side but good. Service was good can't complain super busy at the time we ate but they treated us good though. A bit pricy though to be honest. read more

This is a fun and casual place to enjoy great seafood. My husband and I were sitting by the bar. The bartender is super friendly and efficient. He got our drinks right away. Mojito is ok, not too much alcohol, it has more of the syrup. Oysters and shrimps are fresh. The shrimps are quite big and well seasoned. Conch fritters are not greasy and comes with good dipping sauce. Tropical salad comes with good amount of chopped mangoes. I also enjoyed my crab cakes. read more

We enjoyed a Rum Runner cocktail and cracked conch appetizer while visiting this establishment. The conch was some of the best I've ever had in over 40 years because it was similar to clam strips, substantial, and had a light feathery batter and tender texture. Fabulous dish. The cocktail was fruity and delicious. Deceptively innocuous. Bar waitstaff were all on top of the service. Noise level was moderate since the place was very busy. The ability to have waterfront views while sitting on a bar stool under covered spaces was A+. Gift shop is attached with plenty of cute souvenir options. Restrooms are clean and well maintained. Highly recommended! read more

Ate at Conch Republic while on vacation in Key West. This place was recommended to us and was some what disappointing. We arrived in the middle of their happy hour, so naturally the place was packed FYI-There are only certain tables available near the bar & of course the bar itself that you're able to sit for their HH opportunity. We were a party of four and a very nice group offered us their spot as they were leaving. We had to grab it quickly as a few other people were also trying to swoop in! So, we had to clean the table (didn't mind) and set aside their drinks and bill. Then, we waited, waited and waited until FINALLY our server arrived. She did express her gratitude for us having cleared the space. We ordered our drinks and the crab cakes as an appetizer. That didn't take to long. The crab cakes were average. Nothing like my grandmother made being from the east coast! I wasn't impressed with them at all. I had the conch soup, which is suppose to be like a manhattan clam chowder. Luke warm at best. Extremely bland and for $13?! It was not worth the price or portion. Another family member tried the bacon wrapped shrimp and seemed to really enjoy it. Another member in our group had the burger and it was just average. The oysters were delicious, but not hard to mess that up! Over priced for a below average dining experience. Would not be a place we would return. That said, the atmosphere is wonderful and the view from the restaurant (especially in the evening) was lovely. read more

Amazing key lime pina colada! I love a pina colada and this once was next level. Pricey, but so good. Tried the conch fritters as well - I think I may be allergic though I'm not allergic to other shellfish... left feeling itchy and hives, but wa gone in an hour. Won't say the fritters were worth the reaction and happy to pass on those again... a little chewy and would have been happier with a regular hush puppy: Staff at the bar were just fantastic on Thanksgiving day - friendly, smiling and on top of everything! read more

Cool location. Lots of outdoor seating with views of the water. Service was OK at first but after we said we were there for a drink and one appetizer it became distant and curt. The Key Lime mojito was very sweet. The Stuffed Mushroom Martinique was overpriced. $17 for 3 mushrooms. They were tasty but the weird sauce on the side was not good. read more

Most importantly the food here is delicious, my wife tried the St Kitts pasta and it was very tasty and plentiful. It is enough for two, especially if you have appetizers like we did. We had the baked oysters and they were delicious except the cheese on top wasn't melted. We also had the stone crab claws since they were in season. My wife also had a skinny margarita which she said was watered down and she also tried the rum punch which was much better. For dinner I had the fried Red Snapper and it was also delicious and it also was plentiful. We both took our meals home and it was enough for breakfast the next morning. So our server Heather was really nice, she greeted us with a warm smile and she was very patient and helpful. So lastly that brings me to the rest of the staff and their customer service. I'm disabled and on a scooter and when I asked how to gain access to the building two employees said they didn't know, finally one server pointed me to the ramp. When inside I asked where was the host stand and another two employees just pointed which made me feel like I was bothering them. And the food runner basically threw our food at us. He didn't ask who had what, he just threw our plates at us and never asked who had what. The food is the most important reason to dine here so I would definitely eat here but be mindful of poor customer service. read more

Back again for the seafood and today they had swordfish their fresh catch. Though good, the mahi mahi was the star of the show. I had to drop my review down due to our inattentive server. I had to ask twice for water, she left us hanging after we asked for the check, and my order was not right (please see swordfish pics) in comparison to the mahi mahi burger. Both myself and my hubby ordered blackened dishes (mahi mahi, shrimp and swordfish) but mine looked grilled not blackened and when I questioned the server she told me it was blackened (false!) my husband I both agreed it was not made as requested. That did bring down my review but not enough to warrant a no return. read more

Conch Republic is a popular hot spot in Key West. Waterfront dining, the entire restaurant is essentially a massive covered patio. They have plenty of fans cranking! Fresh seafood is the name of the game when you're down here. Here at Conch Republic, they have a big ole menu filled with fan favorites, specials, and the classics. One of my favorite things to eat when I'm back in Florida is a blackened mahi sandwich. Squeeze of citrus and tartar sauce. Usually served with fries, and washed down with a cold beer. Yuengling preferably! This hit the spot to a T. Our waiter was friendly and funny. The place gets really busy and they would have benefitted for a few more staffers on hand. And keep in mind, lots of birds will join you for your meal...what are you gonna do? Places like Conch Republic exist for a reason. It's like the quintessential Florida style dining experience people expect on vacation. Good vibes all around, would definitely return for some fried seafood! read more

Sat at the bar and enjoyed a really nice bartender that made her a few concoctions to help her get past the way she felt. Great guy and appreciated his efforts. Food was tasty as always and cooked just right. For the life of me, I can't recall what we are cause I was buzzed but I know it was good.

Came here for dinner. The menu has items listed as GF but many are not vegetarian (which is fine since it's a seafood restaurant). My friend and I split the island salad. The dressing was really sweet but loved the plantain chips with fruit. The server indicated that I could order sides. Based on GF reviews, the rice and smashed potatoes were safe. I ordered both and they were really good. I should have ordered a sauce to go with but wanted to play it safe. They did not have any GF desserts. read more

Food was very yummy, enjoyed the seating right by the water. I recommend the 1lb of pink shrimp and the crab cakes, the food was fresh and well cooked. Unfortunately the chowder was extremely salty and did not come out as expected, not sure if we got a bad batch or if it's just like that. Prices here are expectedly expensive but good quality food. read more

I'm a New England girl. I love my oysters any which way they can be served, and I have had them many ways in many places. THIS HERE, this baked oyster callaloo dish, is the best baked oyster dish I've ever had! It's orgasmic. My mom even caught the moment it happened on camera haha! Mind-blowingly excellent. The conch fritters and cocktails were also top notch, as was the service and overall restaurant. They have wide open window spaces so it's breezy and airy inside. Sadly though, even with a breeze, it was too hot on the island for me to try their conch chowder which I wanted badly. It will have to be had on my next trip and I'm already looking forward to it! read more

Burger was ok. Chicken sandwich was okay. Kids meals are meh. Mahi was great. Shrimp was skimpy. Host/hostess were very nice. I can only speak for our server and the server next to us, but they were both terrible. Our server was difficult to get anything from and it was not busy even when I said we would be making a to go order. Server next to us repeatedly put his but in my daughters face and chose to stand in between our table and his, even though he had two tables directly next to each other and one was empty half our meal, we also made a point to ask for that not to happen after the first time. No change. Had to get napkins and straws from hostess. Mostly all outdoors with large seating area and bar. Decent view. A little loud. People smoke on the pier if that is something you are concerned about. Has a pay to park lot. Wouldn't seek out this establishment again. I'm sure there are other great servers available and food was good, not really worth the money in my opinion, but it is the experience. read more

I expected a tourist trap, but was pleasantly surprised. Drinks were solid. Cracked conch was really good. A little more texture than calamari and perfectly cooked. Ribs were not great like Texas BBQ, but were super tender and had good flavor. Baked Oysters Callaloo were creamy and had a lot of flavor. Even if the oyster was a little lost. The hot sauces were a great enhancement. Cherry on top was that it was right on the dock. Would do it again. read more
