A little hidden gem at the wharf. Incredible blackened Mahi Mahi big enough to share and the fries are fabulous too.

Great little stand up hut for a quick bite to eat. We went for a breakfast sandwich and the portions are very large. If you're with someone, splitting a sandwich is def. plenty. As we have learned over the last few days in Key West, there are a lot of these "food huts" and this is one of the better ones we have visited. It was nice sitting on one of the benches over looking the docks and we will def. come back! read more

We went to this hole in the strip solely based on the other great reviews and it didn't disappoint! We got the Mahi Mahi Tacos (blackened) and the Shrimp Wrap (blackened). Both came with fries. Loved that everything was made to order and fresh. There isn't much seating but if you are lucky, you can snag one of the stools and bar tops out front. Highly recommend! read more

What a great ending to my key west trip. I went with the employees recommendation for a shrimp burrito and it was sooooo good! Perfect amount of shrimp and salad ratio. the ciliantro suave with yuca fries ties it perfectly together. Everyone in my group was in love with their order!! So happy we stopped here before heading home read more

Very sad that I just found this place on my last day in Key West!!! I got an Island bowl and my fiancé got the Caribbean Turkey Sandwich. The portions were HUGE!

Unassuming Little lunch stop. ? Shack? Food truck? But one of the better meals we had in key west. I wish I could rate it 4.5. I had the fried fish sandwich, cafe con leche. DH got the fish tacos. Portions were so big that we couldn't finish it...and I'm a huge eater . The sandwich seemed bigger than my head. Anyway, worth the stop. Not a lot of seats but definitely give it a try it read more

Good casual eats. The famous lobster tacos were tasty albeit a little overdone which gave the meat a rubbery texture. The rest of the flavors from the slaw and sauce helped offset lobster. Just left me wishing.. My wiz had key west shrimp, well seasoned and prepared. Loved the sweet plantains as a side. If you're in old Key West definitely stop by for a bite I enjoyed the vibe and the establishment has an interesting history. read more

We've eaten in many places in Key West over the years, and have our favorites. We had lunch today at Fisherman's Cafe for the first time, and this has clearly joined the rotation (and is high up on it). Between the five of us, we had the fish sandwich, the shrimp wrap, the fish tacos, and the island bowl - all of us were thrilled with our choices. Also have to mention - the plantains are some of the best I've ever had. Lunch and breakfast only. Very limited outdoor seating (none inside). But, try it out! read more

We came here just before it closed at 5pm and were greeted by a friendly cashier (she's very talkative as well). She recommended us to get the blackened sandwich which I liked. Good seasoning and good fish portion which is bigger than the buns. We chose the yuca fries as the side which was really good and crispy. Don't forget to redeem the 15% discount when checking in! read more

I did a search for brunch around 10:30 am. Called to confirm espresso, which was assumed 'cause Cafe con Leche. Had their Cubano bfast sandwich with cuban pork, chorizo, black bean spread, egg 'n cheese. Excellent shot in the dark coffee. Five star quality and service without the tourist trappings. Outside seating that's covered for shade or rain. Recommend if you like authentic cuban food... Not my best ever foodie pic. Sorry 'bout that. read more

Drove down to Key West for the day yesterday and arrived around 8:30am craving some coffee and breakfast. We just wanted a quick bite and came across the Fisherman's Cafe, so we decided to give it a try. Eko took our order and answered all of our questions. She was so sweet and friendly--she even let me try a "Bucci," which is a Cuban espresso shot (they sell a cute shirt that says "Bucci makes you go ZING!" and right they are!). We ordered an egg and cheese sandwich with tomato and avocado, and added lobster (when in Key West!). I'm glad we ordered one to share--it was huge!! And delicious!! We also ordered fresh squeezed OJ. All together it came out to $15. Prices were not bad, food was delicious, and Eko made our experience wonderful!! Will definitely be back on our next trip! Side note: don't be surprised if you see chickens passing by during your meal :) read more

Though "café" is a part of the Fisherman's Café name, it would only qualify as such by a stretch of the imagination. It's basically a walk up alleyway food hut, but don't let those looks fool you. They have great offerings which I've found to be particularly good. On my most recent visit here, I had their "Hogfish Sandwich." Again, don't be fooled by the names as Hogfish, generally known throughout Florida as Hog Sapper, actually has nothing to do with hog though its snout sort of resembles that of a pig and also has nothing to do with snapper fish. In fact, it's a wrasse, or if to get technical about it, a Lachnolaimu Maximus. But, the point for we foodies is that it happens to be, no matter what you call it, it's one of the most delicious tasting best in texture of any fish you can find. And here, you get them fresh, either from the local commercial fisherman or the spear fisherman of the area. Fisherman's Café also offers some other local taste treats you won't often find elsewhere such as a Conch Sandwich and a Shrimp Wrap. read more

After many unsuccessful tries finding the perfect seafood restaurant in Key West, I think we have a winner. Tucked away on a small side street, Fisherman's Cafe is the best of the best. Their Lobster Mac N' Cheese is a heaping serving of cheesy goodness topped with large chunks of succulent lobster. Don't get me started on the yuca fries. Thick cut and perfectly fried, they were the perfect side dish. The shrimp and lobster tacos were mouthwatering; garnished with cilantro, sauce, and a cabbage slaw. If you're looking for fresh seafood in Key West...look no further. read more

This place was amazing. A true gem of key west. It's very low key and simple but they know how to make good food. We went here for lunch 2x while we were down here. First day I got the shrimp wrap, and my husband got the fish tacos. Both were so good. Best wrap I ever had and the tacos looked amazing and I wanted to try a bite but my husband ate them too fast. Haha. The next day we wanted burgers for lunch so we ordered them online and went to pick them up. They did not disappoint. Best burger I had in awhile. Ingredients were fresh. The patty was nice, juicy, and perfectly cooked medium well. The way a burger should be. read more

Really enjoyed this little restaurant in key west. Ordered their shrimp BLT wrap and the green sauce in the wrap was amazing!! I could seriously drink that sauce. They put a good amount of bacon and avocado in the wrap too which was nice. I also tried their snapper entree and I wasn't a big fan of it but I would come back for that wrap for sure! read more

Okay if you need something fast and quick, do not come here. If you have plenty of free time and don't mind waiting for your food, this place is delicious! Keep in mind, you order at a small shack and there's isn't much seating (or air conditioning). Half of my group got grumpy and left to hang at a different bar while I waited for my food, but it was worth it. I had the shrimp wrap, which came with great portions of shrimp and nice chunks of avocado. The sweet potatoes fries were delicious also. They were crispy but not over cooked. The people next to me ordered the fish sandwich with yucca fries, which also looked amazing. Great for the food but not the best seating situation. read more

Delicious!! OUR FAVORITE LUNCH STOP IN KEY WEST. Lobster tacos, Shrimp + avocado wrap, Yucca fries & traditional French fries = all AMAZING GREAT PRICE & consistency- we always stop here while visiting! Outside seating - which is scarce but people are in - and - out so it's not much of a downfall. You can watch the boats in the marina -- or maybe even spot Jimmy Buffet recording something in his studio (right next door) Service is quick. Food is SO YUM. It's lovely. Must check it out!! read more

Read wonderful reviews of Fisherman's Cafe and am so pleased that we came here for lunch! Eko took out order was very sweet from The minute we walked up! Everything on the menu sounds delicious! We had been overloaded on seafood and wanted something different so we chose the Turkey Club and fried plantains. The club was huge and the turkey was ultra fresh! The plantains were so wonderful, and very lightly fried, which we both enjoyed. The staff was super nice and helpful! Perfect spot for a quick lunch or an afternoon snack! read more

I'm not going to lie - I didn't have super high hopes for the Fisherman's Cafe. It was nothing to do with this particular place. It's just that quick service food in a tourist area isn't always the best. However, I had just gotten off an all-day catamaran trip and needed something fast. I was so pleasantly surprised in the quality of the food! It was awesome! I got the island bowl and added shredded pork. It was a bowl with rice, black beans, pico, and perfectly beautiful sliced avocado. They had small tables out front with hot sauces available. The service was awesome - very nice and accommodating. The staff (or owners, not sure) checked on us a couple of times to make sure we liked the food. We had all intentions of coming back for a second go around but ran out of time. With so many options for food in Key West it's hard to try the same place twice. But this would've definitely been worth it. read more

Tiny hole in the wall but amazing food. We got the blackened shrimp and bacon wrap, and the lobster echilao. Both agreed they were really good, but wrap took the top prize. read more

Lovely little place sitting right by our hotel. We went to this place for brunch before we head out to Hemingway Museum. The owner gave us a super warm welcome. This place doesn't have a long menu but it does take me a long time to decide which ones I would like to try because all sounds very tasty. Eventually we made up our mind and tried the following: - pink shrimp burrito is amazing!!! It has a nice combination of pink shrimp, bacon, avocado, among a few other minor ingredients. - lobster taco is deep fried. It lacks moisture a little. - sweet potato fries are the best I've ever had. Served warm and very well managed moisture plus crispness. - Plantain is great, but I'd say plantain around here is generally good and you can't really go wrong with it. - guava slush is fabulous! We were here around 10:30am and there was no line. Many people opted for take out, and so seeing no one there doesn't mean this place is not busy. read more

The fish is the star of this taco. Perfectly grilled and seasoned. You can choose between blackened, grilled and fried for fish preparation. Flour tortillas warmed on the grill with a pickled cabbage slaw and some creme. A generous portion of avocado cuts the acidity of the cabbage. Yucca fries were great and served with a special sauce, I believe mayo based. Atmosphere is nice as it is right on the dock, making a great view for a great fish taco. read more

Fisherman's cafe is a small building on the right side of the Key West Historic Seaport. To the left you'll find the highly commercialized Conch Republic, but I prefer to find these hole-in-the-wall hidden gems. Fisherman's cafe is a walk up counter style ordering system with a few high top outdoor seats available. They are only open 7am-5pm daily so it's mostly a breakfast and lunch spot. They have some Cuban specialities on their breakfast menu but for me, it's all about the fish. Their fish tacos and fish sandwich is based on whatever the catch of the day is, meaning you always get the freshest fish! We got the Fish Sandwich $16.95 which was grilled red snapper that day and it was AMAZING! 3 generous fillets of fish on the sandwich. Flavorful fruity slaw and delicious remoulade made every bite a burst of flavor. The fried sweet plantains $4.75 were great too. The sandwich was so good, the bf and I considered getting a 3rd sandwich to share because we just couldn't get enough! Overall impression: Phenomenal fresh fish. Beautiful views of Key West Historic Seaport. Delicious food with the ocean breeze in your hair, honestly pretty hard to beat and what Key West is all about. I will be dreaming about this place until I can make it back! read more

If you are looking for a casual breakfast or lunch during your sight seeing in Key West definitely make a stop here. The food is traditional Cuban and some Fusion of local Key West fare and Cuban. Fisherman's is small shack and hidden in a small street. It can easily be missed to so keep an eye out. The food is of good restaurant quality. The Fish sandwich is pretty Damm good. Its loaded with tasty fish and comes with a nice side of Yuca Fries. The Egg Sandwich is simple and pressed in the Cuban fashion so tbe bread is nicely toasted. They are genorous with the eggs. The sandwich is heavy and felt like it weighted about one pound. The Cuban Cheese toast was also phenomenal even in its simplicity. Again it was pressed and perfect. Also don't forget the Cafe Con Leche. It was the best I had in Key West. A tip, check in on Yelp for 15% off your bill. The friendly staff will take care of you ! read more

This is a cute diamond in the rough that would easily be overlooked to an unexpecting eye. It is tucked in the quaint storefront of Elisabeth St, directly across from conch republic seafood company. The woman at the front window taking our order was very friendly. She is not a "waitress" per say, since you order at the counter and sit down until your name is called. However she came by multiple times to make sure we were okay and check how everything was. She was very friendly and addressed the locals by name. We ordered the AMAZING "conch salad" as an appetizer which was more of a ceviche. The flavor was so delicious and the conch was very fresh. I ordered the yellowfish sandwich which was to die for!! My parents ordered the cracked conch sandwich with sweet potato fries which was also great. The sandwiches come with fries (regular, yucca, or sweet potato) which you can add extra seasoning to for $1 (sriracha Parmesan, fisherman's special, or cinnamon and vanilla). We also had two fresh squeezed lemonades which came out a little sour but that was a quick fix with some simple sugar. Good to know you're eating things made fresh :) Be careful with what you order because all of that food for 3 people added up to $68!!! Well worth the splurge. This easily became my new favorite restaurant in the keys read more

I got the lobster tacos. They were just ok. The lobster is breaded and fried. It came out a bit overdone and hard to chew. I should have ordered something else.... something not fried. But the sweet potato fries were very good. I sat on a stool out front. The service was friendly, and you get a discount with Yelp. read more
