    Grill fish sandwich
    Jeffrey G.

    This is a great spot by the water. They had a really good band playing some really good classic rock music. The bar didn't have margaritas, thye only had seltzer and beer. The food frome the food truck was awesome. I ordered the grilled fish sandwich and it was very favorable with some good fries. My wife had the lobster roll and really liked it. It was a great spot to spend the evening.

    Sails for shade.

    What a great place! Dive Bar is exactly how the Keys were 30 years ago! There were no tourists here & I actually knew a lot of people! There was live music (starting at 6pm). The drinks were cold and very affordable. We all got food from the food truck. The bang bang shrimp were a hit. I had the cheesesteak without the bun. It was huge and very tasty with onions and mushrooms! Can't wait to come again!

    What a great local place. How can you not go to a place like this? Everyone was super friendly.

    I need another beer!

    The current iteration is fantastic. Great marina setting with a good blend of live-aboards, locals and folks just passing thru. - Service can be somewhat spotty in the keys...not here. They remembered my name & drink the 2nd time I was in. - Great food (Bites on the Bay food truck) - top notch kickin' shrimp, burgers and fresh fish de jour - Good music & theme nights (trivia, corn-hole, etc) - Uber pet friendly

    seating area on the bay + bags

    Great ambience and an unbeatable view, my party went here twice because of how much we liked it! I had the kickin shrimp both times and it is a must try! All staff was great and patient with our large group :) would go again anytime I am in the area!

    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.

    The waitress at the Islamorada Brewery told us to come here since it was owned by the same people…read more Huge parking lot and saw a jeep wrapped in the name Crooked Palm Cabana. Tropical theme inside. Nobody was in the dining room but the bar was busy. Another patron had a custom pizza that looked tasty. Sat at a table next to the bar and ordered a Tropically Impaired hazy craft beer 6.1%. My friends also ordered drinks from the bar and played several rounds of Connect 4. Other board games were at other tables. Behind a glass wall there was a whiskey or spirits distillation system. The bathroom was clean with small round tile floors and a distinctive orange sink basin mounted above dark wood cabinetry. Fun staff good drinks and cool ambiance.

    From the very first moment, our experience at Crooked Palm Cabana was nothing short of exceptional…read more It all began with the sweetest phone call--actually, two of them--answered by Brittany. She was just as warm, pleasant, and knowledgeable on the phone as she was in person. She knew the menu inside and out, and every single recommendation she made was a total hit. And the cherry on top? She was working on her birthday and genuinely seemed happy to be there--her joy was contagious. We came for Sunday brunch around 11:15, and it was perfect. There was plenty of room to relax and be comfortable, the DJ was great, and the ambience was exactly what we were hoping for. The best way I can describe it is an outdoor escape--very upscale Jimmy Buffett vibes--with a separate adjacent outdoor area for kids, which was such a thoughtful touch. That brings me to Jimmy, the bartender. He made me the most delicious Bubble Trouble with fresh grapefruit--absolutely phenomenal. Even though we were seated outdoors away from the bar, Jimmy made a point to personally connect with all the patrons outside. You don't often remember a bartender's name in a setup like that, but he made everyone feel seen, welcomed, and joy-filled. Val was equally wonderful. She brought out our food efficiently, was incredibly friendly, and consistently checked in to make sure we had everything we needed--all with a smile. And finally, the manager, Shane--friendly, attentive, and clearly supportive of his staff. You can feel the positive team energy here, and it truly elevates the entire experience. Crooked Palm Cabana is everything you want when visiting Tavernier--great food, amazing service, beautiful ambience, and genuine hospitality. We can't wait to come back. Highly, highly recommend!
