They have a few ceiling-mounted fans to try to keep the heat at bay. The shrimp poboy and onion rings were superb, and the wife really loved the grilled chicken sandwich and fries. Absolutely no complaints about the food or service. The cocktails left a little to be desired however; very small cups that we found lacking in flavor, but they looked tropical. Otherwise, everything was great and we'd definitely visit again.

For our main, we got the Grouper Fish Sammie's with fries & coleslaw. I had mine blackened, and my husband went with classic. The fish was so fresh and seasoned perfectly.

I recently visited Fishtails and unfortunately left quite disappointed. Given how busy the…read morerestaurant was, I had high expectations--but the experience did not match the crowd. I ordered the grouper, which is typically a highlight in the Florida Keys, but it lacked even basic seasoning and fell flat in flavor. The coleslaw was noticeably too sweet for my taste, and the potato salad included green peppers, which is an unusual choice and didn't complement the dish well. The service also left much to be desired. Our waitress was inattentive and provided very little information throughout the meal. Most concerning was that we left a significant portion of our food untouched, yet she never checked in or asked if anything was wrong--something I would expect at any restaurant, especially one as busy as this. Overall, while the atmosphere may draw a crowd, the food quality and service did not meet expectations. For comparison, I've had a far better grouper sandwich at Keys Fisheries Market & Marina, which makes this experience even more disappointing. I hope improvements can be made, as this location clearly has potential. Respond to owner, your response is your opinion, I have no reason to give bad information, if you watched your video as you stated you would have been able to see my friend and I dusguessing the food, also she never refilled our tea as frankly we didn't even drink it all. A good and attentive waitress could have mentioned that it came with coleslaw not to give two portions. It's whatever sir and if you want to get more technical, they grouper was fishy tasting and still had the dark vein line down the filet.

The service was quite slow when we got there, it took a bit to get seated even though we were the only ones waiting with numerous open tables. Once we got our table we had to ask multiple times for a kids menu and high chair, but our waitress eventually showed up and got both for us. The high chair was broken but we made it work for our little one. Our server was efficient and friendly, even though it took a bit for her to get to us. The food was good, not the best meal, but definitely good tiki bar food. I got the fish tacos which were good, and fries, they were the best part. We wanted to get dessert but there were so many flies it made us want to leave. To no fault of their own, it's unfortunate, and to be expected at an outdoor spot, but it was an overwhelming amount and we just didn't want to deal with it any longer. I think its a good spot to grab a drink on the water at the bar! Definitely brings a good vibe.

During our stay at the connected hotel we ate dinner here once and had multiple to-go drinks and…read moresnacks. Service for dinner the first night was EXCEEDINGLY slow. After we were seated by the hostess, we sat at our table for 20 minutes without being acknowledged. I know the time because I had a text from the time our table was ready and we were seated. I had to go back to the hostess and ask if we had a server because no one had spoken to us despite serving several tables next to us. We had ordered drinks from the bar during our 45 minute wait for a table and the server never once asked if we wanted any other drinks or water. My husband ended up going back to the bar twice more to order more drinks for us over the course of the meal. The food itself was mediocre, and for the price I would expect more scallops in the scallop dish. My daughter said her hamburger was inedible as it was an unseasoned, pre-made patty. We all agreed after tasting it. We left it uneaten, but the server never even ask how our food was after taking our order. We had to flag her down to finally get our check. It ended up being over a 3 hour meal with wait time. Ordering drinks from the bar for poolside or the beach was another torturous wait every single time. It would take no less than 20 minutes each time. On our second to last day, from where I was on the beach, I hear the bartender screaming "GET OFF THE ROCKS! THOSE NO TRESSPASSING SIGNS MEAN SOMETHING!!" I realize he's screaming at my 12 year old daughter who had no idea she couldn't climb on the jetty. She's been able to do so at every other place we went, and there are CLEARLY no "no trespassing" signs that face the beach. There are very old ones that face the interior of the restaurant, but none facing the beach where my daughter came from. She was extremely embarrassed, and my husband (who was once again waiting for our drinks at the bar) said that the bartender scared everyone in the restaurant when he screamed at her. After this I went to help him bring our drinks back to our seats, and as we walked away the bartender said "Where do you think you're going?" To which my husband responded, "What do you mean? To the beach with our drinks." And the bartender said "Well you have to pay that you know." So my husband turns back around to put down a card and lets him know that he thought he had already put down a card when he ordered nearly a half hour before. He obviously wasn't trying to "steal" drinks, and we were once again embarrassed by this extremely rude bartender, who then informed us when we was going off shift and that we had to close our check with him before that time. After that we spent no more money at this establishment. I do NOT recommend this restaurant for meals or drinks, and it frankly casts a negative pall over our entire stay despite the fact that the hotel was nice.

Arrived around 11:30 on a Thursday and was able to park in the lot out front. It was full by the time we left, which was around 2. Arriving early is a good idea because the tables and lounge chairs fill up. The good: The woman who checked us in was chipper and welcoming. Very thorough explanation (a bit tedious, though) of everything available to us. Beach access in the Keys is definitely a bonus. Not expansive stretch here, but beach is beach. Arrived in time to get 2 lounge chairs and enjoyed soaking up some sun. A dip in the heated pool was rejuvenating. Didn't order food, but the prices are very reasonable. The bad: Mold in the ice! Their ice machine has clearly been neglected. I got a margarita and 2 cups of ice for bottled water. All of it had mold present. Gross! Very foamy draft beer, which tells me the temp is probably not right. Definitely not what a draft beer should be. I've watched enough "Bar Rescue" to know these are some major issues. The drink situation was deplorable, but otherwise the surroundings were enjoyable.

Outside seating area offers great views, but we took an inside table and the vibe was still awesome. Live music was great. Our server Zach was on the mark; checked on us frequently and took care of any requests quickly, and a very friendly dude. We tried: Sparky's Sunset and Coconut Margarita - both very good. Tuna tartare - the sesame sauce wasn't my favorite, but the tuna was fresh and tender. Coconut Shrimp - HUGE shrimp, nice toasty coconut crust, and the sweet chili sauce was a great compliment. 1/2 lb Peel and Eat Shrimp - these were served with butter, cocktail sauce, lemon, and a little cup of add-it-if-you-want cajun seasoning. I tried them all and loved the options. Bacon-wrapped Scallops - these were fantastic!! Super crunchy bacon on the outside, perfectly cooked scallops on the inside. Buffalo Chicken Wings - these had really good flavor, but the skins were a bit tough. Sparky's will be our very first stop on our next stay in the Keys.
