    Crab cakes egg Benedict
    Alex B.

    First time here. We were headed back up north and wanted to have brunch. Our host was also our server and he brought everything out together while assisting the front with seating - impressive to watch. Our food was tasty. We can't wait to come back.

    We had some time to kill before we could check into rental so, stopped here on our visit to the keys for a late lunch. Seated right away by the water, it is kind of off season. Ordered a margarita with tequila. Was very strong...loved it great start to our stay. Ordered blackened Mahi Mahi tacos that came with rice and beans. My wife had Tuna nachos. Both dishes were excellent. We gobbled it up. Fish was fresh and tasted great. For dessert we ordered key lime pie. It had a good tart flavor and wasn't super sweet. Restaurant was clean and staff was friendly. Will definitely be back again.

    Food was very good as was the service. Clean bathrooms. A chicken quesadilla and snapper sandwich and 2 drinks came to $80 A bit excessive.

    THE ORIGINAL TUNA NACHOS

    The vibes were immaculate, beautiful outdoor seating next to the river and it did not feel too hot. The noise level was great and the waitstaff were very attentive and all around friendly and willing to do anything to make the experience better. The food was out of this world and fairly priced. Highly recommend for a casual night out or a special event.

    Sat in the indoor space as it was a bit windy and don't like sharing my meal with the flys. I ordered the fillet mingon (med rare) with seared vegetables and a house salad. The fillet was a little under but melted in my mouth. The veggies were mushy but tasty and the salad was a salad. All in all a really good meal. Finished it off with their key lime pie which was delicious. I'd go back.

    Nice open air restaurant on the channel that serves breakfast, lunch and dinner. We had the normal breakfast that was good. Only slightly negative thing I could say is when we first arrive everyone seemed like they were not in a good mood. No one smiled at all, maybe it was too early and they are not morning people, lol! Had we been greeted with a welcoming smile I would have given them 5 stars.

    I don't know what anybody's talking about but this place deserves a five! The ambience is amazing. You literally have the ocean right next to here was boats tied up to the dock at the restaurant. Emily was our server. She was great! Helped me with my picking mess. We ordered the purple bowl, chicken, Cobb salad, island tacos, and crunchy grouper sandwich. Amazing! You will not go wrong being here it is outside, but it's cool enough that it won't make a difference. Come in whatever you're wearing they don't care. See you guys again soon thanks so much for a great hospitality.

    Island Grill is a great spot in Islamorada if you're looking for seafood. It's waterfront too and shaded! The service was a bit slow and forgetful towards the end of the night, it was a weekday when my family went so that might have a part in it. Hopefully it's better during the weekends!

    Tuna nachos
    Alana L.

    The view from the outdoor seating at Island Grill is beautiful & breezy. We enjoyed watching the marina traffic pass by and park. We ordered two items: the tuna nachos and the coconut encrusted snapper. We would suggest the tuna nachos which were flavorful & fresh. Unfortunately, the snapper dish is not recommended. The fish and no flavor & the beurre blanc was also flavorless and unappealing. The broccoli was decent, but the French fries were old and tasted like the heat lamp that kept them warm.

    Lobster Mac n cheese
    Amy R.

    Lobster Mac n cheese. Thats it. Soo creamy, beautifully cooked lobster. Star of the night. The live music entertainment was great, average service. But their lobster Mac n cheese can't be ignored. We also had some stone crab chowder which was good as well. I would return to try some of their other dishes

    Fun times

    Food wasn't great especially for the prices. We love to try local food and this was not something I would try again.

    Drinks like tea and water were in very small cups and never asked us for a refill. Conch fritters were not good. Will not be back!

    Wowwwww!!!!…read more Apparently this is under new management now, and wow... you can absolutely tell! I've been back four times in the past week because the food is just that good. Honestly, it's a 10/10 every single time. My current favorites are the fritters, the homemade soups (always amazing), and the Shack Fried FishI'm completely obsessed! The fish dip is also incredible, and what makes it even better is that the fish is fresh, locally caught, and never frozen. You can truly taste the difference. The atmosphere is one of my favorite parts. There's a great bar area if you're coming to relax, but there's also a separate family-friendly section, so it's perfect whether I'm dining alone or bringing my kids!!!! . I've already brought five different people here, and every single one of them has loved it. The service has been outstanding every visit. Everyone is genuinely kind and welcoming, and the owner is right there working alongside the staff, making sure guests are taken care of. It's refreshing to see someone so hands-on and passionate about their restaurant. As someone who absolutely loves food, I can honestly say there hasn't been a single thing I've tried that I didn't enjoy. Great food, fresh local seafood, wonderful people, and an awesome atmosphere. This is exactly what we needed, and I'm so happy they're here. Highly recommend! I'm truly obsessed can you tell

    The Shrimp Shack was a 5 out of 5 on all points. This feels more like a place the locals would eat…read moreand also has a dive bar feel to it, but WOW! The food was outstanding. We started with the shrimp fritters, then I had the BEST coconut shrimp I have truly ever eaten. It was served with a pina colada "secret sauce " that tasted like the tropics. I chose the veggie of the day which was fresh steamed yellow squash with a garlic butter seasoning and it also came with two perfectly cooked hush puppies and a small side of fantastic Cole slaw. My husband had the shrimp po boy and the breading and seasoning were perfect. The service was really good, despite them only having one server. We finished our meal with a slice of the BEST Key Lime pie ever topped with a chocolate ganache. Just GO. This is a family restaurant that has been around for years and years.
