We came here on a Sunday evening for dinner with friends. It was Sunday fun day so there were several people outside in the pool. We got seated at a table quickly inside. My husband and I took a walk around to check out everything. There's a nice big bar outside near the pool and the music was pumping. Looked like everyone was having a good time. We got a Picture in the Giant Adirondack chair that out in the parking lot near the pool area. We got there just a little early to catch the sunset. I ordered the shrimp and grits and it was delicious. Really creamy and it had great flavor. I also had a cup of she crab soup which I enjoyed. My husband had their famous hogfish sandwich which he said was fine. He also had a cheeseburger because he could eat a cheeseburger every day. He said the fish sandwich won over. We would go back to dine and watch the sunset. read more

Sunset Grill Marathon For many years, I have enjoyed going to this restaurant because it's right on the water, it has a swimming pool and the food was good. However, we went yesterday mid afternoon, and the service was not good. Our waitress really didn't know the answer to questions and didn't say let me check. Two of us ordered french fries and one ordered coleslaw. All three of us ended up with french fries. Two of us ordered the hogfish lightly blackened, and in my opinion, it was more Caribbean jerk seasoning, and it was not light at all, so it totally overwhelmed the fish. Can't say at this point, I will go back read more

a big meh in the food department. Over priced for the quality you receive. The Ahi was not local- they source it from northern FL, why? Blackened mahi was red? lol I hate to be picky about small stuff but little details matter and when you're surrounded by fisheries and fresh fish- why are you not sourcing your fish from local fishermen!? BUT I digress - The service is so S L O W! And not because they're busy but because people genuinely just don't want to work here I swear. Drinks were good, the pool outside and the seating around it was nice, sunset was nice but woooof maybe come to get a drink and then hightail ya booty elsewhere to get food ;-) read more

Great ambience! We were seated right away on the deck overlooking the water. We could see the ocean and boats coming by. Below the deck there was another deck with a huge swimming pool and a big bar. Really cool place. We loved our food (great selection) and had great service. read more

Our restaurant in Isla Resort was full so we went next door to check out the sunset! Casual dining. Service was good but kitchen and bar gets backed up due to the amount of orders going in. Very busy place for sure. The server Chris kept us informed. The food was ok. Calamari and curry sauce. Sea Bass and Miso Appetizers to start. I ordered the Cobb Salad with grilled chicken, wow the salad was amazing, so much food and three blue cheese dressings! All ingredients were very fresh. My guest had the Crab cakes which were "ok". I had a Corona and he had the frozen Mango mocktail. Finished with a key lime pie. It did taste store bought not homemade. The view of the swimming pool and sunset was awesome! read more

Delicious food. Everything was really, really good. The ambiance is quite nice too. They don't take reservations, but we (party of 11) came in around 5 pm on a Sunday during Memorial Day weekend and were seated almost immediately. The huge drinks were really fun too, and you get to keep the cup! read more

Very cute, casual atmosphere on the water despite the heat but overall, the food was disappointing, drinks were terrible and service was even worse! Ordered a cocktail along with waters and a few appetizers (cheese curds, 2 HH shrimp apps, & HH Mahi tacos). Appetizers arrived at the table at the same time the drinks did (minus my water, which the waitress clearly forgot). Shrimp app was lukewarm disgusting mush (as if it had been kept soaking in once cold water for WAY too long) and literally disintegrated in my hands before I could peel it. I returned them after eating 2 out of the 12 shrimp ordered (again, 2 orders) and the server acted gracious yet she managed to comp only one order! The mahi taco had a good sized piece of meat but sadly, was also served lukewarm with next to no seasoning/flavor. Since this is a seafood/raw bar restaurant, it's especially sad that the chicken Alfredo may have been the best dish served. We had to stop the server to ask for refills on soft drinks/waters and weren't asked about purchasing another cocktail. Save your self the hassle! Prime location with subpar service and mediocre food at best! read more

Good spot overall! The food was good and my boyfriend said his meal was really good too. Service was decent and the location by the bridge was really cool. Just a heads up -- if you're looking for more of a relaxed dinner restaurant vibe, definitely choose inside seating. Outside had more of a lively pool party atmosphere with the pool right in the middle of the deck area. There were lots of kids and even adults running around in wet swimsuits, which we didn't really expect for dinner, but it was totally fine once we realized the vibe. Overall still a fun place to check out with good food and a cool location! Also blurred/took people out of the photo for the review post just to better show the atmosphere and setup read more

We came into sunset grill with a large party and the restaurant was incredibly accommodating with splitting checks and rearranging tables. We got there within the last hour of happy hour, and were very pleased with their food options. I had the conch chowder which was delicious. I really enjoyed the flavor. Sunset Grille is also an absolutely beautiful location up against the 7 mile bridge. read more

I would only go back to this establishment to have a drink and see the sunset. Service is very slow! The food is not good. I had the hogfish dinner which the bartender said was one of their best sellers. The fish tasted funny and the asparagus was way overcooked and limp. Also ordered was the kids fish nuggets. The Nuggets were overly breaded but OK. The french fries that came with them were mushy. read more

From Nebraska, amazing view. Portions were impressive. Waitress was sweet and helpful. My only suggestion, be patient. Like the Keys in general, you have to be on Key West Time. read more

I grabbed a few items carryout Saturday night. What a total waste of money. Meso seabass was so salty I had to spit it out. None of us could eat it even after I rinsed it off. The conch fritters were the worst I've ever had because the conch was just hard chunks of plastic. The coconut shrimp were over cooked. what's up with the coconut water they came with? It looked like a nice place but has super bad food. read more

We really enjoyed our meal at Sunset Grille. I had the shrimp tacos that were very good and definitely plenty to fill you up. The tacos came with rice and black beans - which I love. I also got the Titos Cranfusion drink (luckily it didn't come with a souvenir glass. The service was great and it has an amazing view. I will definitely go back next time I am in town. read more

The location is the best part of this place. Unfortunately, the food was disappointing and not worth the prices. We ordered the conch fritters, but they were mostly breadcrumbs with very little conch. The conch chowder was more like a thick stew than a soup and also contained very little conch, with too many fillers. Even the drinks were watered down. It's a great spot for the views, but based on our experience, the food and drinks did not live up to the cost. read more

We recently visited Sunset Grill & Raw Bar with a large group of friends and family, and it couldn't have been a better experience. The atmosphere is exactly what you'd hope for in the Keys--laid-back, fun, and with that unbeatable island vibe. The seafood was fresh and flavorful, the drinks were spot-on, and the service was attentive and friendly, even with such a big party. Yes, it has that classic touristy energy, but in the best way possible--it's the kind of place where everyone is having a good time. And of course, the real star of the show is the sunset view. Watching the sky turn into shades of orange and pink right over the water made the evening feel truly unforgettable. If you're looking for great food, strong drinks, and the perfect Keys sunset, this is definitely the spot to go. read more

What a gem this place is! The ambiance is perfect great view of sunset on the ocean. Jimmy Buffet songs playing in the background very relaxing. The food was amazing. My daughter, who is vegetarian, was pleasantly surprised to see an entire sushi menu and was able to order vegetarian sushi. Our onion rings were perfection crispy and flavorful. We ordered margs, one frozen and one on the rocks, both were delicious. I ordered blackened mahi and truffled mash with asparagus. The fish was a bit spicy for me but if you like the heat this is for you the fish was fresh cooked perfectly and tasty. Loved the mash potatoes! A huge positive for me was the food came to our table piping hot. For dessert we ordered key lime pie, it was good, but the star was the churros soooooo tasty! There's also a pool with a bar if you feel like swimming people were having a great time there. The reason I did not give 5 stars is the service wasn't great. We ate with the menus at our table the entire night and plates weren't cleared at the right time but perhaps it had been a long day for our waiter. I did like that we were not rushed to leave. Overall Sunset Grille was a wonderful experience it was picturesque and definitely a place we'll come back to next time I'll go swimming read more

The ambiance was fantastic--beautiful setting, especially for a sunset dinner. Unfortunately, that's where the positives ended for us. The service was average, but the food was a big disappointment. The margaritas were particularly bad: weak, watery, and with almost no tequila flavor at all. For two kids' meals, a salad, one sandwich, and a few appetizers, (plus 2 run of the mill Margaritas) the bill came to $200. That price would have been acceptable if the food had delivered, but it didn't. The fritters were basically all bread with very little else, and the chowder was mostly filler with almost no seafood. I had seen this place on YouTube and was really excited to try it, especially for the sunset views. I wanted to love it, but sadly it fell short in almost every way. I don't think we'll be back read more

Friendly bat tenders and beautiful view... that you have to pay $5 for if you want to see it. The drinks overly rely on commercial mixers. Does anyone care to make a correct drink anymore? read more

Sunset Grille & Raw Bar - $5 up-charge to sit here. - Seafood Near Me - Marathon, Florida

A must do in the keys! Located right along the main road with a killer view of the 7 mile bridge, this place checks all the boxes. The food is okay, but happy hour during the Sunday funday is the time to come here. The service was a little slow, but the drinks were good! Being able to drink IN THE POOL that is free to use for paying customers is an awesome thing. There were a lot of kids in the pool, but it made for a very family friendly time. The happy hour menu prices were pretty good and comparable to others in the area. We didn't look at the regular menu, as we were just there for the pool and special Sunday menu. We will be back next trip! read more

The bartender was as friendly as ever, and the ambiance? Perfect, as always. Sunset Grille never misses. read more

For my review if I was able to leave 5 rotten apples I would. . My service was terrible from start to finish. Tables around us were getting served before us and we were there before any of them. I mean when the waitress doesn't know the difference between clams and oysters at a seafood restaurant, that's a big problem. Another person from the kitchen had to serve us . This place came highly recommended and I came out highly disappointed. And I don't like to say that about a mom and pop restaurant you read my reviews and if I get excellent service I post it and encourage people to come if I get poor service I won't go back plain and simple. read more

Beautiful views. Service ok. Had the Hogfish Oscar and right after eating got food poisoning! Sick for 2 days. Thought it had a strange taste but thought it was the hollandaise sauce. My husband had a special that night, it was delicious and he did not get sick. read more

We tried this for a late lunch after being at bahia honda state park Beach. We were starving so we ordered the Kona fire poke bowl $32.00 and the hog fish sandwich with mushrooms and onions $19.99. The poke bowl was great she loved it. The hog fish was ok but I don't think I would order it again. The poke bowl is a little over priced for what you get in my opinion. We have had them for about half the price for better quality just saying. This place also has its own swimming pool which if you eat thete I guess you get free access. We wanted to shower up so we left. Food came out quickly, and place seemed clean. Hostess sat us quickly. read more

I visited on Sunday, with three friends, as we were heading back to Miami from the Key West/Lobsterfest. Sitting at the table, I started searching for reviews on the sushi menu but there were none. I did find one really bad review about a server named Darryl. Lo and behold, who steps up and introduces himself as our server. lol I did not say anything to him about the bad review cause I was looking for flaws. I have no idea what happened that prompted the young lady to leave such a bad review cause I was delighted with the service. The food was excellent, Darryl was so gracious and attentive, our drinks were Amazing! We sang along with the music coming from poolside dining. I would highly recommend Sunset Bar & Grill at the end of the 7 Mile Bridge, going North. Be sure and ask for Darryl! You won't be disappointed! read more

Daughters 19th Birthday Sunday night December 28th 2025 - went to Sunset Grille and they treated us well and put our table of 3 with me and my son and daughter on outside table near the pool and right off of the ocean.

Great service, great food, great vibe and beautiful view for the Sundown !!! read more

Sunset Grille & Raw Bar - From patio dining patio - Seafood Near Me - Marathon, Florida

Well, IMO, if you're coming down to the keys for the food cuisine, you should probably think about staying home or trying somewhere else. That being said Sunset Grill and raw bar has wonderful views as most of the pictures depict however, service is subpar, and the food is mediocre like the rest of the food around this area. It took us over 20 minutes to get drinks after we were seated and at that $18 for a mixed drink is terrible. My order came out wrong however I chose to eat it. It was good but not what I ordered. That also happened to another person in our party of 4. They have a pool, which is really cool for kids, but I think they are short staffed and not well trained. I'll leave it at that. We came here twice and it did not get any better. It was a little better the first time, but it was on a weekday and we sat by the pool. The view is worth five stars but for ambience, service, and food I'll give it three. read more

Tried it again 6 years later and completely different experience. Service was incredible and the food was excellent. The conch fritter app was excellent, the coconut skrimps were a little over fried. 2 people had sushi and it was excellent. Wife had the Dixie Chicken, it was fabulous - great sides. I had the fresh catch - blackened grouper with dirty rice and black beans. Best meal of the week so far. Mojitos were a little weak. read more

This was a great find for us in Marathon. We watched the sunset at the 7 mile bridge and noticed the restaurant across the street at the entrance to the bridge. It looked like a huge tiki bar with a pool and outdoor seating on the water. We were seated immediately as it was after sunset but still a nice crowd. Our server was pleasant and helpful. We ordered steamed shrimp and oysters. Both came out quickly and were fresh and delicious. The atmosphere was amazing and it really felt like we were on vacation. The prices were fair for this location and quality of the food. There was plenty of parking this time of night. It's a great place to stop and can accommodate large tables if you are there with family and friends. read more

Extremely overpriced for the quality of service here. I am all for paying quality price for good food and service especially here in the key however, the food is average at best. Came here back to back days. First night sat inside and the bartender was more worried about cleaning glasses. She just acted like did not want to be there. Second visit was outside at the pool had to almost beg for a drink. Bartender spent more time inside than outside. It was not busy at all. Yes you have good views of the sunset and there is a pool here however, Marathon is an amazing place there are several very good places to go for good food and service where you actually fell welcome. read more
