    We made reservations and really enjoyed the friendly service and good food. We recommend the Seafood boil. I really liked the show crab legs, with the Cajun sauce and "made it awesome" by adding corn, sausage and potatoes. My son enjoyed his Jambalaya

    Conch fritters
    Alexa F.

    The conch fritters were so delicious. Crispy and lots of filling on the inside. Wish they just had more table with seating next to each other instead of just those high tops with one chair across the table.

    I'm a gumbo fanatic. It's hard to find a perfectly made gumbo. Well Stinkin Crawfish on Duval St comes pretty darn close. It has crab meat and I think this brings it over the top! Go just for the gumbo. Nice casual atmosphere. Live music. Clean place. It's a nice addition to the plethora of Duval restaurants. Service is very friendly.

    Crawfish and mussels seafood boil, garlic bread (or was that Texas toast) and ginger beer
    Kevin J.

    My across the street neighbors up here in Michigan who used to live in Key West told me I had to go eat at the place Ernest Hemingway used to go or the other place that Ernest Hemingway used to go that claims they're more legit and the true original so... I went to a crawfish place instead. I had some pretty weak crawfish up in Ocala and had a hankering for the real deal, especially since Key West seemed like a mini-New Orleans only more Jimmy Buffettish. Stinkin Crawfish delivered some tasty mudbugs and I went for some mussels in my seafood boil as well. It really hit the spot though it might have tasted extra good just cause I was so famished from riding my rental bike around all the day. The garlic bread was a nice touch and I ordered a ginger beer to wash it down. Service was fine. I barely made it inside cause the patio on Duval street was the place to be. One of the fabled free range chickens of Key West was even hanging out, no doubt grateful for the plentiful seafood around. I can't give a ton of details like some of my other reviews as I'm writing this 9 months later but I remember liking this place.

    Shrimp seafood boils, gumbo, garlic bread
    Jasper S.

    Went here for dinner, and went back the next day for their happy hour as well. For dinner, we ordered the Cajun flavor Shrimp Seafood Boil with potatoes and corn, the Garlic Butter Shrimp seafood boil, and the Gumbo. The Cajun seasoning was very flavorful and delicious, and the shrimp were very big too. The garlic butter was good as well but not as special. The gumbo was very small and was overpriced for the amount of meat in it, would never order again. Dinner bill had automatic gratuity added. For happy hour, we got the $1 oysters, $1 chicken wings in Garlic Parmesan and Garlic Cajun, the conch fritters, and the mac n cheese. The $1 oysters were a great deal and good. And the $1 wings were amazing. The Garlic Cajun wings might've been some of the best wings I've ever had, amazing garlic flavor and crispy and tender. Conch fritters were the best I've ever had, much more conch than other places and great flavor. Service for dinner was slow but happy hour was very quick. Casual outdoor setting. Would come back for both the happy hour and dinner!

    Food was amazing service was excellent and the ambiance was laughter light and merry! Everything about Duval street is a big party! I love the little town feel! So many shops and eateries. I didn't have enough time. I must go back to see more when I get time.

    Food was good. The cheese was very cheesy. Waiters were stupendous. Vibe was off but there was live music so that's cool.

    Jambalaya, Hush puppies, Remoulade sauce
    Adrian S.

    Wasn't a huge fan of the live music. I'm more of a introvert, so usually a calm, quiet place is my favorite to eat at. The service was really nice, but they could've been a little more attentive. The food was alright, I enjoyed the hush puppies but the jambalaya lacked flavor. They have a good remoulade sauce! Nice people watching but overall, not my cup of tea

    gumbo

    Located right on the bustling Duval Street in Key West, this seafood place is a true treasure for anyone seeking cajun seafood!The restaurant has a lovely patio, complete with fans that provide a refreshing breeze. The drink selection is excellent, with a variety of refreshing options that perfectly complement the seafood dishes. The gumbo stood out as authentic with a rich, flavorful broth with just the right amount of spice to give it a nice kick. The conch fritters were another highlight they were crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, and absolutely delicious. With its great drinks, and delectable seafood, this place on Duval Street is a must visit. We enjoyed every moment and look forward to our next visit!

It's a dive bar through and through but I happen to be a big fan of dive bars! However, this one fell flat on it's face with the service. I wouldn't say the place was packed but there were not any open seats at the bar. I posted up the best I could but for the better part of 15 minutes both bartenders didn't even come to my side of the bar. I then moved to the other side and waited another 10 minutes to be served (at which point the bartender said "Didn't I just serve you?" Um, no, you most definitely did not. This place has two saving graces: 1) A water jug full of cold water for the taking, off in the corner. Love that. 2) A popcorn machine that had DELICIOUS popcorn! YES. If you can manage to get a beverage then I think you won't mind Green Parrot's (very) relaxed atmosphere and delightful little perks. My takeaway is for the staff to mix in some work to go along with their chatting with the regulars...

This is a true dive bar in the best sense--dark, loud, unapologetically weird, and absolutely unforgettable. The drinks flow, the stories blur, and at some point you realize you're no longer entirely sure how you ended up where you are... but you're fine with it. Now. The ladies' room. If you know, you know. Let's just say there was a handsome fellow, a conch shell, and an air of mystery that felt very on-brand for Key West. Details are intentionally vague--some things are better left unexplained--but whatever was happening worked. Worked very well. My nieces? They fell for it hook, line, and sinker. Completely enchanted. Equal parts confused and delighted. A core memory was made, whether they asked for it or not. Shirt Club is the kind of place where stories are born, logic is optional, and you leave with inside jokes you can't fully explain to anyone who wasn't there. It's chaotic, hilarious, and 100% Key West. Would we go back? Absolutely. Would we ever expect to understand everything that happens there? Not a chance -- and that's exactly the point.

This is 5 star in a dive bar category.

There was live music playing, pool tables, and even some video games, so there's plenty to keep you and the family entertained while you hang out. Kids are allowed in, but they aren't allowed to sit at the bar. It definitely feels like one of those places where you can lose track of time in the best way. They also have a merch area with hoodies, stickers, and other souvenirs if you want to take a little piece of the experience home. And knowing it's one of the oldest bars in the Keys just adds to the charm and history of the place. The service was quick, you walk up to the bar and order then find a place to sit. Super chill and laid back. One fun thing you have to try is tossing a quarter into the fish's mouth outside... test your luck and see if you can land it! Can't forget the drinks! The rum punch is to die for... super refreshing and perfect for the Key West heat. Overall, such a fun stop if you're in town. Definitely worth checking out! Fun fact: - it used to be a morgue and ice house back in the day. it also used to be the original home of Sloppy Joes, before they moved to Duvall St.
