After 5 days of eating seafood in KW, I'd have to say that the shrimp and fish tacos here are the best I've had. Service was attentive and fast and the patio was perfect. It was a very warm evening and they had fans set up everywhere to keep it cool. read more

Amazing!!! I think we have a new favorite restaurant! Service was great Maui MaiTai was excellent flavor to start the meal. Hubby had Hawaiian Kahalua Pork wrapped in banana leaves with rice. I had the Rasta Pasta with Chicken, very flavorful without being drenched in sauce. We Hit the wall with the portions so brought leftovers home and took a key lime pie to go. Pie didn't disappoint for snack later on vacation you know! We will be back. Service was top notch which you don't find often so thank you! read more

If you don't stop to eat here when in KW you are true Ky missing out and I feel bad for you. We had the fish tacos and Korean beef tacos and oh my gosh they were AMAZING!!! The fish was fresh and tasty and the pineapple salsa on it was perfect. The Korean tacos were crazy tasty and I was blown away by the flavors. The chef here is on fire!!!! read more

Absolutely killer Mai Tai. Blackened fish tacos and blackened shrimp tacos are also stellar. House made key lime pie is worth every calorie. Don't miss this spot! read more

Service was fast and friendly. Conch fritters were good. Tuna poke was good also but they had way too much pickled ginger in the dish. I like ginger very much but it is a palate cleanser, so mixing it in a dish with mild flavors like raw tuna doesn't make sense. 3 stars ignores the fact that the men's room was pretty disgusting. read more

Stopped in for a quick lunch after scuba diving and to get out of the heat. What a find! Great food, nice people, and a shady spot off Duval. I had the fish tacos and they could not have been better. Really fresh and the magi was perfectly blackened. Will definitely be back in the future. read more

Honestly, blown away by the creativity and imagination of this unassuming and unpretentious chef in the middle of tourist town. Elevated our fresh catch Mahi and service matched his support. Well done!!!. read more

We ordered a variety of everything, all the tacos , sliders , ribs, wings etc. everything was delicious. Refreshing cocktails as well.

Good meal here. Had the jerk chicken dinner. While definitely not prepared the same as I've had in Jamaica many times, it still had really good flavor. Nice outdoor dining area too. read more

This place was so good and one of our favorite restaurants we ate at in our trip! We got the killer fish tacos and the Korean bbq beef tacos! Both were super good, but the sauce on the beef was a bit hotter then we expected. Still great flavor though! The waiter convinced us to try their Keylime pie, said it was the best one around. And honestly he wasn't lying! The crust was so soft and if you're expecting a sour filling, you'll be pleasantly surprised with how light of a lime taste there is. And the texture was similar to cheesecake! read more

I could not say enough good things about this restaurant. The service is fantastic, the food is impeccable, and the drinks are just incredible. Stayed in the Keys for a week and came here 5 times. We tried something different each time we ate here and every dish was a 10/10. I wish we took pictures of the food but we just dove in every time! If you come to Key West, Kaya Island Eats is A MUST!!!! read more

This place is great, the food options are many but whatever you choose, you won't be disappointed. I love the chicken salad and the tuna appetizer. read more

The staff is super friendly and welcoming. All seating is outdoors which were were not excited about at first but then, with a fan pointed towards us, we were totally fine. Food was good. Not like mind blowingly good but you can tell it is high quality and creative. read more

This place is tucked away behind some shops off Duval. It's a cute, colorful place with some amazing food. I also tasted their Mai Tai mocktail. Delicious! We ordered the conch fritters and Mahi tacos. Big portion of Mahi and the taste was beautifully crafted. Our server was so sweet and kind, we will be back! read more

Great food, and a relaxing atmosphere. First visit, we ordered just appetizers and drinks which came out delicious. We came the following day, had fish and chips and jerk chicken, which also was very good. Definitely worth visiting. read more

One of my absolute Favorites in key west! The atmosphere is always lively, the food is always great, and all of it together is even better! 10/10 would recommend for anyone not from the island. (Also the macadamia fish is one of my favs from the menu, thank me later) read more

Picked this from a very quick search on Yelp. Yelp did not disappoint. This was fantastic. Coconut shrimp (5 individual shrimp) and poke "nachos" (5 individual nachos) were both great, particularly the nachos. The signature fish taco (mahi) was really great, but the best was some fish thing -- I forget the name -- but over rice with various stuff on it. Oh yeah, Reggae something. Get the tuna, medium rare (seared). There are pink onions and goat cheese and other stuff that is just super delicious. Maybe the best "island food" dish I've ever had. I don't do a lot of reviews, but this was good enough to warrant one. Desserts were fine, but the main dishes were the main attraction. read more

Delicious fish tacos, whimsical cocktails. Avoid the bloody Mary's, and avoid the bloody tikis. Stick with a Mai tai or something similar. The Rasta Pasta is very rich, so if you plan on that don't over order from the appetizer menu.... You won't be able to finish! The steak Caesar was also disappointing, not enough salad and the steak was definitely stringy and overcooked. Wings and bang bang fish were great appetizers. Portobello sandwich was good but extremely messy so be ready to use lots of napkins. Overall, good food, good value. Very casual ambiance but festive and fun. read more

Highly recommend. We had the fresh catch 1/2 lb mahi mahi soft tacos, and wings were delicious.

Great spot for the whole family. We went for dinner and stayed for karaoke and games. Food was delicious all around. The owner set our group of 14 table outdoors and near the live music. My dad enjoyed the music, while we waited for the food to come out, the kids ranging from 17 to 7 went to play games and enjoyed the karaoke time. I really hope this place continues to be around for our next visit as I really liked the location and how much we were able to enjoy the restaurant. Thanks to Scott for being so accommodating to our large group. read more

The food at this place is amazing but the key lime pie is the best on the island! Service was fast and friendly. I'm assuming it was the manager that recommended the key lime pie and I'm glad he did. We tried several other places (that said they were the best) but none compared. I highly recommend checking it out. read more

I was looking forward to trying this restaurant based on the Yelp reviews. We didn't get there until two nights before we left Key West and I wished we had gotten there sooner. I had a Mai Tai which was one of the best I've ever had. That's a huge complement from me because I usually find cocktails in restaurants are never as good as my own. I'm not being arrogant, but we all know that most bars care more about the bottom line than making great cocktails. We then ordered the coconut shrimp which was just sublime. I'm sorry but I can't remember the name of my main dish, but it was mahi mahi with an amazing sauce that had goat cheese in it. My husband had one of the bowls. Everything was fantastic, expensive? yes. worth it? yes. read more

Incredible food, great service! Everything is made In house. Such an upgrade from the fried fish sandwich at many local restaurants. A must while you're visiting Key West!! read more

The tuna nachos and mahi tacos are crazy good! The service was super friendly and they have a great happy hour with half off food and drinks. read more

Amazing food with super fresh entrees crisp fresh taste with seafood being exceptional. The mini fans they place on the tables to make sure you don't have any flying intruders. Making the service be even more amazing when it comes to attention to detail. The man playing songs which all sang to made the whole experience so great for a outdoor restaurant. read more

First visit. Love the funky decor. Very friendly and efficient staff. Had some Oke and a very wonton thingy. Both excellen. Washed down with a special Mai Thai and island version of a Moscow mule. We were there for happy hour. Apps at 1/2 price. Drink specials. Clean bathrooms. All in all a wonderful experience.. gonna head back this evening for some key lime pie. Supposedly made Dailey. read more
