Our lunch was delicious! We enjoyed the delicious food, beautiful view, and excellent service. Ron took great care of us and provided the best service we've had in the Keys. We will return to Square Grouper on our next trip. Bonus: we saw a manatee! read more

Love it! Heard so many good things about square grouper and was finally able to go. The service was awesome and the food was too! The green beans on our dish were so perfectly yummy I am still thinking about them today. Loved the smoked mahi dip and the chocolate peanut butter pie too ! read more

The food was ok, one of my best friends loves this place and highly recommended it but I think it received too much fame and now they just throw subpar dishes together. The food presentation is nice, but lacking flavor and finesse. Ambiance is wonderful. The only reason I gave it 4 stars is because the upstairs restaurant was fabulous!!! It has a different name, I think it starts with sunset something but wow!! Best oysters ever, ambiance is sexy but they are mainly appetizers on that floor, but honestly the drinks and appetizers are so worth while we should have just stayed there!! Fresh lobster claws and great oysters for sure!! I truly miss that piece of it and would go again just to sit upstairs, such a beautiful and sexy area, with great views of the sunset. I don't recall much of the service, they were slow but they were so full it was understandable. Prices are not inexpensive but it's seafood so it's expected read more

Went for dinner and the food was amazing. There will be a wait but it is worth it. We showed up at 4:30, got a drink from the upstairs bar and were the first in line for their 5pm open, very worth it. Small interior dining room so you will probably be sitting outside with no A/C. All of their food is fresh and you can't make a bad choice. We started with the lobster ravioli then had filet mignon, yellow snapper and perennial encrusted chicken. Highly recommend!! read more

We came here again during our trip and the food was good, just like last time. We waited about 45 minutes for a table. We ordered the squid app, lobster raviolis, burrata caprese, key like pasta with shrimp, filet tip, scallop dish, a bread pudding, cheesecake and the magical brownie. Like I said, we enjoyed all the food and would go back again. Service was also good. read more

Love, love, love, the square grouper. Great restaurant located at a Marina. Parking is cool because it's underneath the racks, holding the boats above. The parking example. The restaurant itself is awesome because you check in in why you wait for your table you can go upstairs to the sunset lounge. You can order a drink up there and enjoy it while you wait. The restaurant has great seating and the tables are really nicely spaced so you don't feel like you're sitting on top of everyone else. The menu is pretty simple and straightforward, but everything is awesome, especially the grouper Frances and the mashed sweet potato. The place is typically very busy and once you eat there, you'll know why. read more

Meh. Was hoping for an amazing experience was it was flat. The conch chowder was bland. The flash fried conch was soaking in a weird sauce. The fish dip was great but the choice of crackers they serve it with didn't work well with it. I enjoyed the jalapenos with the fish dip. It provided a nice flare read more

Enjoyed. Great location and nice vib. Food good.. excellent service....honestly not the square grouper but good food! Have been there multiple times. Will be back! read more

I had been to the original location on Cudjoe Key a handful of times, and I cannot tell you how happy it made me to try out their newer location and enjoy it just as much! First off, the ambiance. PERFECTION. Tucked into a quaint marina, they offer indoor or outdoor seating overlooking the water. The service, fast and super friendly. Josie was kind and personable. I felt welcomed and catered to. Finally, the food. Come on guys, this was a homerun on all accounts. We started with conch chowder, flash fried conch, and tuna avocado egg rolls. I really enjoyed the conch chowder. A touch of spice and a great warm temperature, this tomato based soup was divine. The conch was unique as it was a LARGE piece, and they served it with ponzu and wasabi; unexpected flavors that complemented the dish very well. As mains, we enjoyed the square grouper sandwich and grilled chicken sandwich with some buffalo sauce on the side. I remembered their buffalo sauce from previous trips, and it only made me regret not ordering the buffalo shrimp... but there's always next time. Which you know there will be a next time! read more

We were in Islamorada for a wedding and decided to have lunch out back on patio if Square Grouper (it's located in a marina). Pelicans were swimming and around the marina in a bunch of places...really enjoyed the view! We had best Mai Tais that we have had in a long time and they came in a cute tall Tiki Glass. I had the blackened Mahi Mahi sandwich which came with shoestring French fries and coleslaw that was delicious! My husband had the lunch special - California chicken club sandwich with bacon and guacamole...so delicious! Both our meals were very generous. We ended lunch my having the decadent Peanut Butter pie with Oreo cookie crust, served with whip cream and chocolate sauce...it was orgasmic!!!! We will definitely be back.. read more

Let's start with the parking. The signs that say no trucks or SUV's are REAL. They will ask you to Move if your vehicle gets in the way of the marina moving a boat off the racks. There's a working marina on the same property as the restaurant. Now onto the service and food. The service was great. The food was good, I would highly recommend the sandwich I had (see Photos). All in all I would recommend them for sure! Elite pro tip: They have freshly squeezed lemonade. It's great. read more

This is a MUST-HAVE dinner experience! Wow - everything was amazing from the quick seating (we got there around 5:15 pm) to the drinks, service and food! We were a table of 7 and all wanted the lobster max and cheese - so we split an entree as our app. It was to die for. Agreed it would have been rich for a meal, but the flavor and creaminess was perfect! Dinner for two of our party was the grouper piccata -which was so light - and the capers were so flavorful with the meal. Husband ordered the short rib special and couldn't say enough about the tenderness. Another in our party ordered the Hogfish special and loved it. Kid's ordered the filet sliders and blackened chicken. This will be a traditional stop for us from here on out. Our waiter Mathew was so honest with his recommendations and service was wonderful. Do NOT pass this place up. You won't be disappointed! read more

We came for happy hour and loved the daily selection. We had no wait and were seated immediately. I would recommend going down at 5pm to put your name if you are wanting a table right away. The upstairs happy hour starts at 4:20. This is one of our favorite places to come to. We live in Miami but will sometimes make a last minute trip to go spend the afternoon here as we love the food and atmosphere that much! read more
