    Lunch on the way to the Keys. Part jungle Tiki, part Hippie Village and fresh market and bakery. Food cooked in a little trailer, great selection all cooked fresh and delicious. Shredded Hawaii beef tacos and blackened swordfish with coconut rice and black beans. It's all mostly self service order at the counter pick up when your names called. It's antique place but you gotta find a table out of the sun or you will roast. Noise level is low because it's all basically outside so easy to have a conversation.

    So much more than a food truck. It's just as casual and convenient as a food truck but is a tropical paradise with multiple shops and areas to enjoy. I came with a plan to order to-go but quickly decided to dine-in for the relaxed ambiance. (And yes, I love me some Florida roosters perched in trees.) Although the menu didn't state it, entrees come with two sides and a salad, so it was a lot of food. Fun variety of bbq, seafood, Caribbean and Asian fusion with tasty slaws and sauces. I got the shrimp / spare ribs combo with plantains, kimchee, and tropical salad. I probably wouldn't get spare ribs next time as it had more of a soy sauce flavor than I personally wanted... but I am definitely looking forward to a "next time"! Service was also extremely friendly, informative, and quick.

    Amazing local Keys spot owned and operated by locals, and serving local foods. We stopped in on our drive North out if the keys for a bite to eat, and were blown away by the atmosphere. Upon entering, you are immediately transported into a lush, tropical paradise. There are locally sources wares for sale up front, and then the bbq in back. The staff was very welcoming and friendly. We ordered from the food truck and were served very quickly. The food was out of this world. Someone told us they were on Diners Driveins and Dives, so be sure to check that out as well. They have salads, wraps, bowls, and a ton is appetizers. The hawaiian beef was incredible. Definitely a spot i will be hitting up every time im in marathon.

    Summary: Yes - go here and eat; I recommend Irie Island Eats. 6 of us dined here on the morning of 12/31/2025. We loved our meal and were not disappointed finally trying something new. The service and ambiance were top-notch and we will definitely be back to try new things again. There is a small space inside to eat, if you'd like. Most of the seating is outside but under cover of leaf and canopy. In the back, there are more options for dining, such as a taco food truck and a BBQ pit. If you're not sure what you want, go up to the counter and grab a menu. There's a board with the menu on it, behind the register, but if you can't see it just go grab a menu. You won't be in line long - the process of ordering and paying is fast. And the girl behind the counter is helpful if you have questions about the menu. Be mindful the food is served to you at your table (you get a number after you order and then the server finds you). Everything is served in "to go" boxes. The cutlery is sturdy plastic ware. Definitely not a deal breaker - just be aware. We can't wait to go back! Thank you, Irie Island Eats, for something fresh and new in Marathon!

    THE BEST FOOD TRUCK I'VE ATE FROM!!! I stopped on my drive down to the keys and will miss it every day. I went with the steak wrap special and bean salad. I couldn't recommend it more. It's located behind the market with tons of tables and couches everywhere. Just beware of the chickens because there is so many of them.

    Barbecue Chicken Quesadilla
    Destiny C.

    I enjoyed my meal from here so much that we came back after leaving the Keys. I went with the barbecue chicken quesadilla. This needs to be a permanent menu item!! It was absolutely amazing. The service is friendly too. Bonus points for the cool islandy atmosphere. We did have to wait a bit for the food, but we learned that you can order online or call and place an order. Definitely add this stop to your trip down to the Keys. You won't regret it.

    Everything about this place is so perfect! I call it the secret garden! We came here for an early dinner and were able to enjoy walking around the enchanting garden with roosters hanging around. The food truck in the back offers a daily-changing menu with absolutely delicious dishes, priced incredibly well. So kudos for that. The service is super friendly and the "island-laid -back" approach. We also shopped in the general store in the front which offers lots of essentials and gift items. This is one of my favorite places from day 1. Can't wait to return.

    Breakfast burrito

    Excellent spot for breakfast! The outdoor seating area is beautiful and serene, with plenty of fans to keep the space cool and comfortable. There is a great variety of seating options, including chairs, sofas, and benches, and even toys to keep little ones entertained. The service was wonderful. We ordered at the counter, and they brought our food right out to our table. Everything was fresh and delicious. I had the berry acai bowl with peanut butter, and my husband ordered the breakfast burrito--both were absolutely spectacular. This was such a perfect place to enjoy a relaxing breakfast before a long day of driving.

    Came here the other day with my bf and it was a great experience. We ordered a couple of wraps and although it took a little time because they were busy, it was worth it. The food is so good and flavorful and the weather outside was perfect for our lunch date. We stopped by the market area on our way out and got some goodies to take home. The coffee brownie was delicious. The lychee ice cream was good.

    Bowl with coconut rice Caribbean style and with tuna poke.

    This place has the coolest atmosphere ever. The food is delicious and the service was lovely. I highly recommend going there.

    There are two parts to this restaurant. The first is a breakfast and lunch place with pastries and desserts. They also Jamaican hand pies and fresh smoothies. They also have vegan ice cream and fresh fruit. I wish I would have known about this before I arrived. I would have eaten there. Their website says nothing about it. The other part is outside where you can get bowls, tacos, and other things described on their website. My bowl was excellent. Plenty of food for two people.

    Pretty cool spot on the island! The environment is laid back and pretty chill with really easy seating and outdoor island vibes. Amazing place for breakfast and coffee! I had the açaí bowl and so worth it.

    Absolutely loved this place--everything was a 10/10 and such a true Keys experience! Sitting outside with chickens roaming around just added to the charm. I ordered the Floriditos, and honestly, it might have been an 11/10. The combination of meat, melty cheese, and sweet plantains, all dipped in chipotle aioli--sweet, savory, spicy--just WOW. The flavors were incredible! My boyfriend built his own bowl with cilantro noodles, tropical style, and pineapple mojo chicken. He couldn't stop raving about how good it was. The staff was also super friendly and patient with us as first-timers. Can't wait to come back next time I'm in the Keys!

Our waitress came to take our orders right away as we were on the edge of happy hour ending to see if we wanted drinks or food from the specials.

Various food around the table. Lots of tacos. Some grouper, Mahi Mahi, snapper and fried lobster. Some ordered pulled pork plates and I got the lobster bisque and pulled pork tater tot nachos. The pulled pork was good. There didn't seem to be a lot of fish in the tacos. The bisque tasted like Campbell's tomato soup with some lobster added. I wasn't a fan. It was all sadly underwhelming UNTIL the dessert menu rolled out. My husband wanted to try the deep fried key lime pie with raspberry reduction sauce and it was AMAZING!! Made the whole dinner worth it. We would come back just for that. So if you're coming here don't skip the dessert.

We got seated inside just as the sun was starting to set. Sadly all the guests that had finished eating right before us decided to walk over to the dock outside the restaurant which just so happened to be the exact viewing location for the sunset so we didn't get any really good photos of it bc there were so many people over there videoing it and taking photos. It was still nice scenery while we waited for our food though. I ordered ceviche to start us off as our appetizer and it was really good. My dinner was a pasta dish with shrimp and scallops. The sauce was supposed to be a white cream sauce but it was really runny. Even adding extra Parmesan cheese to it didn't help thicken it. It tasted ok. Not my best pick. I had a choice of soup or salad with it. I chose their she crab soup and I'm glad I did. It was great. Almost reminded me of homemade chicken and dumplings soup just with crab. I really liked it. I should have stopped with that and the ceviche. My husband got a grouper fish sandwich. He thought it was good but the prices were a bit high for what it was. His fish sandwich was $29.

The plate never came. It took asking 3 different people 4 separate times to get that extra plate. It seems like a problem with the definition of responsibilities? I think each time the person I asked just told someone else I needed a plate and no one ever actually got me a plate. We were visited by at least 5 different people during our meal - they had plenty of people working and it was not super busy yet, so it just seems like a break down of communication. They only accept cash, we needed to use their ATM to get cash - and the ATM fee was higher than if they just accepted cards and charged us the transaction fee on a credit card payment. Overall - decent food, terrible service, nothing that would encourage me to stop again though.
