Wowwwww!!!!…read more Apparently this is under new management now, and wow... you can absolutely tell! I've been back four times in the past week because the food is just that good. Honestly, it's a 10/10 every single time. My current favorites are the fritters, the homemade soups (always amazing), and the Shack Fried FishI'm completely obsessed! The fish dip is also incredible, and what makes it even better is that the fish is fresh, locally caught, and never frozen. You can truly taste the difference. The atmosphere is one of my favorite parts. There's a great bar area if you're coming to relax, but there's also a separate family-friendly section, so it's perfect whether I'm dining alone or bringing my kids!!!! . I've already brought five different people here, and every single one of them has loved it. The service has been outstanding every visit. Everyone is genuinely kind and welcoming, and the owner is right there working alongside the staff, making sure guests are taken care of. It's refreshing to see someone so hands-on and passionate about their restaurant. As someone who absolutely loves food, I can honestly say there hasn't been a single thing I've tried that I didn't enjoy. Great food, fresh local seafood, wonderful people, and an awesome atmosphere. This is exactly what we needed, and I'm so happy they're here. Highly recommend! I'm truly obsessed can you tell

The Shrimp Shack was a 5 out of 5 on all points. This feels more like a place the locals would eat…read moreand also has a dive bar feel to it, but WOW! The food was outstanding. We started with the shrimp fritters, then I had the BEST coconut shrimp I have truly ever eaten. It was served with a pina colada "secret sauce " that tasted like the tropics. I chose the veggie of the day which was fresh steamed yellow squash with a garlic butter seasoning and it also came with two perfectly cooked hush puppies and a small side of fantastic Cole slaw. My husband had the shrimp po boy and the breading and seasoning were perfect. The service was really good, despite them only having one server. We finished our meal with a slice of the BEST Key Lime pie ever topped with a chocolate ganache. Just GO. This is a family restaurant that has been around for years and years.

What a great little hidden gem! The staff made us feel right at home and has a family owned and…read moreoperated vibe. They offered great recommendations, and provided excellent service throughout our meal. The restaurant sits right on the water, creating a fun, laid-back atmosphere. In fact, if a boat goes by a little too fast, don't be surprised if you get a little splash--it just adds to the waterfront charm! I ordered the Ropa Vieja, and it was fantastic and a large portion. It was very flavorful, and tender. Overall, this was a great experience If you're looking for a cute spot for lunch or a casual dinner on the water with friendly service and delicious food, Restaurant on the Creek is definitely worth a visit.

This is our go-to lunch spot every year during lobster season. After spending the morning out on…read morethe water catching lobsters, we always stop here to fill up the boat with gas and grab lunch before heading back out or calling it a day. We've tried quite a few dishes over the years, and my favorites are the loaded chicken wrap and the Cuban cheesesteak. Whatever you order, don't skip the fried plantains--they're the perfect side. I have tried the skirt steak before, and it just wasn't my favorite, but everything else we've ordered has been consistently good. You can choose to sit inside in the air conditioning or outside at one of the covered picnic tables. Since you're right on the dock, it's a great place to relax, watch the boats come and go, and enjoy the Keys atmosphere. Good food, convenient fuel for the boat, and a waterfront location make this an annual stop for us every lobster season.

First off, I was greeted in a very friendly manner by a nice gentleman who may have been the owner…read more He patiently explained the entire menu to me and talked about the different fish they had that day. I ordered the lobster roll and a Pellegrino is a very good lobster roll with a unique lime taste to the mayo drizzle on top. Chips were fresh and just the right amount. Great view and upbeat music I'm glad I found this place on my way to the airport.

And the marinara sauce was so good we dipped our sweet potato fries in it too (highly recommend). We also asked for coconut shrimp tacos -- not even sure if they're officially on the menu -- and they made them for us anyway. They were so fresh, crispy, and a flavor explosion of deliciousness. I'm already planning a trip back just to eat them again. Tried the Godfather Mahi too -- super light and comforting over warm spinach. 10/10 would order again when I want something cozy. A hidden gem! We ordered our food to-go, but the inside looked very cute as well. It is a family-friendly vibe with local charm.

The lobster rolls photo on the side of where you order is NOT what you get. The bun is basic and…read moreflavourless and meat is very low quality. Instead of spending the money on this overprice scam of a "lobster roll" drive the extra couple hours and go get one from literally anywhere in key west. DJs is the best and most meat for your money.

The food was delicious but a little undersized for the price…read more I had a mahi mahi that had a crab cake and shrimp on top. For the sides I went with garlic mashed potatoes and sweet potato fries. You just have to top it off with a passion fruit margarita. The waiter was nice enough but he wasn't the most attentive server I've ever dealt with. Especially considering the place was far from busy. I did enjoy the open air seating right next to the waterway. The cool breeze may have blown the napkins around but it felt so refreshing.

I told my wife "I think this is the best burger I've ever had." I got the Inside Out burger…read moremedium-well and it was amazing. The fries are fine, the dessert is meh at best, the place is small, but none of that really matters because the burger was incredible. My wife also got the chicken sandwich which was excellent as well. The lady inside was super nice; she was the only person on staff so she was very busy but thorough whenever we talked with her. The place is located in a little strip plaza so it's easy to completely miss when you pull in. It's the kind of place you dream about while traveling: a little unremarkable, modest hole in the wall that you could easily walk right by, but has the best food you've ever eaten.

We were super hungry so my standards were low. I was ready to eat literally anything at that point…read more Got ceviche, guac and grilled fish tacos. This is BY FAR the worst ceviche I've ever had. It's offensive to ceviche to call whatever that was "ceviche". Really guys, just scrap that menu item, remake it in the simplest way possible and reintroduce it. Go watch some YouTube videos on how to make ceviche or something, good God. Right now it's a salad with some weird grapefruit juice marinated fish. It is actually terrible. The guac is also pretty bad. 2 day old Publix guac is better. Don't even try to hide the taste with the parmesan crumbles. Come on. Make it good. It's guacamole, you're in Florida - there are no excuses. The fish tacos were pretty good. Those were your only saving grace from getting one starred. Work on the tortillas. By the time I got to the third one, the filling was falling through the soaked tortilla.

Absolutely loved this place. The location itself is beautiful and actually has a…read morebig,nice,spacious, private beach. We weren't staying here but as long as you drink,eat,or both at the bar your allowed pool access. We did get to actually walk on the beach and actually hang out there enjoying the full moon and noone bothered us. The property itself is big. The sign in the front is so vintage but I feel suits the property. There's a main building upon driving in but once passed that you come up to the beach,pool, and rooms area on one side and then they have a history and discovery building that looks like a museum. There was even a private event outside there that looked beautiful in the evening with all the white lights. The bar/pool guest have their own parking but be careful because it's very dark at night. Back to the bar now. I was in a tropical mood so I had a mango drink at first and then a banana but decided to stick with the mango,both were good but the mango just did it for me. There was such a nice breeze and you have perfect ocean views,it was truly a relaxing day. We ordered conch fritters which were great but they came in a marinara sauce,never had it with that before but it was good. We had the ceviche but I swear every bite I took was missing fish but the flavor was still good,just felt like it was more of a tropical salad but it had abeautiful presentation complete in a martini glass and multi colored chips. I had an applewood fried green tomato sandwich which I thought was real tasty. Hubby had there blackened mahi sandwich which he forgot to let me try so that means he loved it. We even caught the Dolphin game as they have flatscreens right above the bar. Although we had a great time just hanging at the bar I would prefer next time to actually stay over night so you can really get to enjoy all the amenities they have to offer. That beach and ocean views just got me!
