If you're looking for that true Florida Keys atmosphere, Gilbert's Tiki Bar is a must-stop. The waterfront views are beautiful, the tiki bar has the perfect island vibe, and it's a great place to relax with a drink and enjoy live music. The food was delicious, the drinks were cold, and the staff was friendly and welcoming. Whether you're arriving by car or boat, it's the kind of place where you can kick back, enjoy the scenery, and lose track of time. We'll definitely be back the next time we're in the Keys! read more

This place was really nice... loved the bay views. Absolutely breath taking. We went on a Thursday so it wasn't busy at all but they still had live music. I must admit I was already pretty wasted by the time I got here. I do remember the clam chowder being pretty good. Nothing like San Francisco chowder but still good. The coconut shrimp was delicious as hell. And we also ordered the sampler and met some people at the bar. Don't remember much about the food after that. Those drinks were strong. One thing I do remember is almost being stranded. We took a Lyft because obviously we were drinking so responsibilities you know. But then the Lyft could not get back to Gilbert's because of road work. One of the employees was nice enough to drop us off at the gas station near by so we could get home!! 10/10 service!!! Definitely will be back read more

Always a pleasure. After the jet skis we came over for lunch and drinks. Bahama mama, Gilbert's punch, and pina coladas were all well received. The band is playing, volume isn't prohibitively high, but you do raise your voice a bit to talk. You don't have to scream though. Service is excellent, you never feel rushed here, even though the food came out really quickly. Laid back island feeling you'd expect. Candelario is phenomenal, made us feel right at home. They do charge an automatic 18% gratuity and a 3% credit card fee; the credit card fees popping up everywhere annoys the he'll out of me. The gratuity is probably fair though, since I'm sure they get a lot of tourists that aren't as accustomed to tipping. 10/10, as always. read more

We had been told by some friends to come and I'm so glad we did! Tracy was our server and an absolute doll. Explaining the menu and making sure that we didn't need anything. She came often to clear a plate or fill a glass. Live music was such a great addition to eating out doors. As we ate, one band finished and another was setting up. Live fresh oysters, whole fried snapper and fish tacos were a hit. Mahi fingers for the little one that she really enjoyed. Beers were cold and went down easy- even though on the day we went, they had run out of IPA - my preferred. Cold peel and eat shrimp were delicious Prices were fair and the ambience was fantastic. read more

I just took pics of the drinks, but the food was equally excellent. I love coming here, especially on beautiful sunny days when the water is clear. It's so much fun, and just makes you want to hang out at the beach all day long. The piña colada really is THAT good. And the pain in the ass (rum runner mixed with piña colada) was delicious too! I recommend the coconut shrimp and the smoked fish dip - both absolutely delicious. I will keep coming back! read more

Stopped by Gilbert's Tiki Bar while out on the boat. We were able to pull right up to the dock, which made it super convenient. We only grabbed a slice of key lime pie, but it was delicious--creamy, tart, and the perfect Florida Keys dessert. The waterfront atmosphere makes this a great place to relax for a bit before heading back out on the water. read more

As Miami locals, always ready to take the drive down to keys paradise on a beautiful Sunday afternoon. As we drove, we decided to do a quick stop by Gilbert's (on the right hand side before crossing the bridge off to key largo) for a drink and a bite. We sat all the way by the shore line overlooking the bay. Great music was playing, great ambiance all around while sipping on our rum runners and enjoying conch fritters. We only had conch fritters as a quick bite because we were going to continue driving south . The consistency of the fritters were excellent and taste was just right. Service was excellent. The waitresses were ever nice and attentive to giving us best service. For sure, we will continue to go back. read more

Gilbert's Resort is that first "official stop" when you're arriving to Key Largo. Great place to stop in, stretch your legs from the drive, and grab a cold one and some food. They have live music, sit where you like and they will give you service. You can even sit by there little beach area that is super cute. Family oriented yet the side by the bar is very much fun with a band. Sit by the water, enjoy some fresh fish, and continue onward to the rest of the keys. You can also stay at their resort too! read more

I love Gilbert's Tiki Bar. We found it by exploring the area. A giant Tiki Hut right by the water with a small private sandy beach with people swimming, jet skiing, boating, and paddleboarding. Not to mention beautiful birds flying around and some landing on the beach and gibing us a show! And a pier to go walk on. Just a great setting. Then there is their delicious food! We had the Yellowtail Snapper and a Mahi Basket. Both were very good! My daughter had a Coconut Mojito to relax by. Our server was Christian, who was friendly and attentive. We love this relaxing, beautiful, off the highway Tiki restaurant and look forward to our next visit. Oh yeah, and they are dog friendly as long as your dog is on a leash and behaves. read more

Live music everyday. Tables right on the sand. The drinks and service is great even on a Saturday. The kids were playing in the water while the adults sat at the table. The oysters were fresh, hogfish stuffed with crab was huge and fresh. Fish fingers and sweet potato fries were crispy, scoop of lobster in the chef salad was good too. Not too much celery which always read more

Love coming here with friends or family even if it's to spend the day. The little beach is perfect for the kids to hangout and play while parents are only a few steps away enjoying themselves as well. Food and drinks are always great and waitresses are always very helpful. Perfect place for a family day out or even a date night to watch the sunset. read more

We have been here several times through the years, our latest visit was just this week. It's a stress free activity for me to do with my kids, on my own, and a fun activity to do with family and friends as well. Tiki Bar is right by the water, I love. Free parking. Plenty of tables and chairs with umbrellas on the sand. Beach area is small, which I don't mind. Ordering drinks and food while you are relaxing and the kids are playing in the little beach area feels like you're on vacation. Service is usually good. Sometimes there's live music. We have never stayed in the resort, as we are less than one hour from here, but for those traveling from far and probably going to Key West, that's an option. Going later in the day and catching the sunset makes a trip down here extra nice. read more

Enjoyed The Tiki Hut, and Beach Area. Had Drinks, and Cheesesteaks. Liked Both of Them. Saw a Waiter more Than We Saw Our Waitress. Expected Island Music. Got a Bunch of Mostly Black Music With A Lot of Bad Language in It. Definitely Not a Place To Bring My Grandchildren! read more

Just had lunch there for the first time in 10 years. The frozen rum runner was 100% sugar. The fish dip came with 6 wontons and some veggies to dip with. I had a $25 hog fish sandwich w/a bag of chips. The fish was a very small piece and totally hidden under the lettuce and tomato. It was tasty but not for the price. My husband was happy with his fried mahi basket and he shared his tartar sauce with me since I never got mine, even though the $1 charge was certainly on the bill; $90 before tip. We sat at the bar and the sever was fine. I don't think we will be back anytime soon. read more

I love Gilbert's and have been coming here on our way to Key Largo for our resort stays for a long time. Gilbert's has been our stop for a bite to eat on our way. This last time we were asked to have our car trunk open and they said we couldn't have a cooler, which we didn't, but what the heck is that??! Gilbert's is not the only destination in the keys, so if we were heading some place else with a cooler where it was allowed what would they have said then? Having our trunk checked felt invasive. Iced water tasted funny. Taste of Ginger ale was off. Conch fritters were awesome! Really didn't like them checking my personal things. Nothing to hide, but still didn't like it. read more

We are a group of 8 traveling from Long Island NY to Islamorada . We always love a stop for a good pina' at Gilbert's! When we arrived they were closed because of a problem with a pipe bursting the previous evening. Andres was very accommodating and said he could make us the tasty beverage! A lot of people would have turned us away. We appreciate Gilbert's and Andres going above and beyond! Thank you so much! Catch ya on the way back!!! read more

I loved our waitress! Loved the ocean breeze, palm trees, and the view. The food came out super quickly! The service was great--refilling waters and checking in. The food was just decent for the expense. We all four got sandwiches, three waters, one iced tea, and one mozzarella stick order for $100. The fish tacos were good, but the chips on the side just had pico with them--salsa or guac or cheese or something would have been nice. Parking is a nightmare--we basically parked WAY back on the road (basically on the ramp for Route 1)--more than 1/2 mile walk. No sidewalk. read more
