Fisherman&#x27;s Cafe

Fantastic venue to watch sunset although obscured by the Sunset Key as it gets low in the sky…read more Service was sketchy. Non English speaker who forgot a simple request for mayo so we could try to choke down our chicken sandwich. Food was uniquely terrible. Chicken sandwich was small for $21 and I swear it was frozen and microwaved prior to bringing out to the table. It was so dry and obviously over microwaved, but we did not say anything we just asked for mayo to try to chock it down, but the mayo never came. This is an overpriced venue that cannot even get bar food right. For the price, food quality, lackluster service, too loud music, and obstructed view, do yourself a favor and go to the Tiki Bar at the Galleon for picture perfect sunsets, followed by dinner on the marina. Spent over 2 weeks here this time and have each June for the past 20. Last year I met my Son and Daughter in law there for drinks but did not eat. Tonight is our last night here and I wanted to do something different with my girlfriend. Should have taken my own advice and stayed at the Galleon. I am in food service so tipped for food I could not each but as a KW regular I will vote with my feet and not return . Below is the sunset view from the Galleon.

Needed a quick snack before heading out of Key West and the docents at the Customs House museum…read morerecommended this place. Conch fritters were delicious - might have been a hair overcooked on the outside and a hair undercooked on the inside but great flavor. Dipping sauces were great - we had spicy mayo and key lime mustard. It's an outdoor food truck in the middle of town - great central location. The guy who took our order was so friendly and fun - everything cooked to order!

This traditional Key West style pink and white shack is next to the aquarium and sponge market…read more Before going into the aquarium, grabbed a cold homemade Key Limeaid drink for $4.00, seems Key Lime is the big flavor around these parts. It was a large Pepsi cup (would have liked a business logo stamped cup) and helped to quench my thirst but maybe too sugary of a sweet treat. Walking around Key West it is always a good idea to have fluids with you to avoid heatstroke. As for eats, they specialize in fried conch and chicken fritters with shrimp, clam and fish baskets. Like everywhere else around the Keys, they also offer key lime pie on the stick. No line out front so not really how sure the quality of the food other than from customer reviews with a 4 star rating, but a great spot with cheap fried food and soft drinks.

I was also shocked with the price at $32 per pound for that shrimp. Seasoning was decent, but it really didn't taste fresh and felt frozen. Service was ok. Our server didn't check up on us too often. I always had to ask for a refill on my soda. Would I go back to this place, probably not. I can get a better seafood boil in Miami.

So disappointing, I seen that this place had good reviews…read moreso family and I decided to try this place. Plus seaside has to be good and fresh. Well we're a big group we did get seating fairly fast beside them having to out tables together they weren't busy at all. Once we got seating we wait for a good 10 mins or so for menus we had to eventually grab our selves. A couple walked in few minutes after us and got their menu as they sat down Now the boil. The spice they had for the boil had a sweet taste might have been the premade seafood boil seasoning. Thats what it tasted like to me .Wasn't to my liking. Something was eh about it. The fried oysters had a but if a fishy taste no go. I know a lot of places weights the seafood but the portions when they came out it was more like they added more corn and potatoes. For the price definitely wasn't worth it.

Our server, Joann, did everything right. The food was amazing and so was the ambiance. Our original visit in 2019 was a five star review so this is just more of the same.

There was nothing wrong with the breakfast or service. It just tasted...average, and low quantity. The impression I get, and I may be wrong, is that Hot Tin Roof breakfasts are for those customers staying at Ocean Key, and most likely are comped or the breakfast is part of the package. I have no clue about lunch or dinners at Hot Tin Roof. I had bacon, eggs, and chopped up potatoes. The bacon and eggs were just fine, I mean how do you screw that up? The potatoes were plain and not very much. Noting the breakfasts of the wife and kid, I felt the same....average at best. It left me for looking for an early lunch on Duval street. I believe they add an 18% "service charge" on the check regardless of size of party.

The Conch Shack

Location- excellent located on a main walking busy popular street…read more Food- it was okay, excellent service and quick We ordered Sample platter- mainly fries on the bottle, only 4 pieces of fried conch and 2-3 fried conch fritters. The conch was good size, the ratio of the batter to conch is not balance- too much batter and dry. The Sample conch ceviche is was tiny contain in a ketchup dipping sauce container.

This shack came highly recommended from social media so I was excited to try "Key West's best conch…read morefritters". However, this was not our experience. The conch fritters were overcooked and burnt. They were extremely hard and crunchy. We did notice that the cook stepped away for a long time while our conch fritters were in the deep fryer cooking, causing them to be overcooked. However, we were the only customers there, so they could have easily remade a fresh batch that was not overcooked. I would not try this shack again or recommend it to others.

The fries come out made to order and be forewarned they are HOT. They come with ketchup packets but the flavor is so good you don't need anything else. My son ate his quesadilla but as expected, got full (hence why this mother knew not to order any food for herself). I had the last piece of chicken quesadilla with the accompanying guacamole that had a perfect blend of tomato, onion and avocado. My dulce con leche coffee was also pretty good but not the best I've had though I'd recommend if you're in the mood for coffee. Easily a hole in the wall you'd miss if not looking for it and glad we stopped in. $30 for a chicken quesadilla, fries and coffee seems a bit steep but I guess it's to be expected in Key West

We didn't try any of the drinks so I can't speak to that but they sounded good.

The tuna was fabulous and had a great sauce. I would skip the peppers next time, nothing was wrong with them but it didn't stand out for me. For entrees I had the whole snapper which was served with rice and vegetables. The snapper was in some kind of sweet chili sauce and the fish was so crispy. It was delicious and filling, I wish I could have eaten more! My friend had the filet, I didn't try it but she enjoyed it very much. The service was okay, not bad, not outstanding. Overall, I would highly recommend!
