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.

We started with the best coconut shrimp I think I've ever had. It's the famous pink shrimp of Florida & the coconut breading was divine ! light, delicate crispy, served with a tasty mango chutney, dipping sauce, just perfection. by the way, this went perfectly with a crisp, white wine and my husband's tropical drink. Next, we had to get an order of the delish oysters Rockefeller, smothered with creamy spinach, and tons of lemon juice. Wow those gulf oysters are wonderful ! So Tender. 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.

Where we were staying, we met these lovely ladies out at the pool, and we got to talking quite a bit. They had mentioned this place and a deep fried key lime... so... it definitely piqued our interest and off we went. When we first arrived, I wasn't sure if we were going to the right place. It felt like it was off the beaten path, but we did eventually find our way to the parking lot. We walked upstairs to the terrace and took a look around at the view. It was just before sunset, and we watched a boat or two swing by and tie up on the dock below for some chow. That's pretty cool. The menu style is somewhat American traditional, where you would find a variety of burgers, fries, sandwiches, and some dinner plates. They served several types of meats from beef, chicken, fish, shrimp, you name it. We decided to go pub style and ordered the Fresh Cut Fries plate, with a Chicken Burger. We also ordered a Patty Melt Sandwich. The chicken burger had the perfect crunch, and it just hit right. The patty melt smothered in onion and sauce made it very tender and juicy. My wife and I split each other's meals to taste it all. As we enjoyed a couple of drinks, we were able to take advantage of the sunset and walked the dock for some pictures, although, I was staring at a beautiful view across from me all evening. We finished off the meal with one of their famous Deep fried Key Lime Pie... and I swear... that might have been the 2nd or 3rd most beautiful thing I've seen that evening. If you never had a KLP deep fried... oh my Goodness you are in for a treat!! We decided to split one, and it's every bit as good as you would think it to be!! Thank you for that experience, and for the whole evening. We are leaving FL with amazing memories! Absolutely recommend you try this place and for us, an easy return should we ever find ourselves back on the Keys again. As always, Enjoy & Happy Eating!

While driving to Key West, we stopped at this restaurant. We had spent almost the entire day at…read moreBahia Honda State Park and were absolutely starving. I kept thinking, "till Big Pine Key, I've seen so many waterfront restaurants--so let's just head toward Key West, and if something looks tempting, we'll stop." That's when we spotted Kiki's. The big, bold sign caught my eye, and we took a right turn Parking was easy (lots of space), and the place had that classic tropical vibe--laid back, colorful, and vibing. The restaurant has two floors of dining plus outdoor seating. Near the entrance, there's a small stage for live music and a bunch of bright Adirondack chairs that really add to the chill atmosphere. signs for big cities (like 2000 miles to Quebec, haha) We got our table quickly, and since we were trying to make it to Mallory Square in time for sunset, we let our server know we were in a bit of a rush. Unfortunately, the service wasn't great, and we ended up spending about 55 minutes there, which felt longer than expected given our timing. We ordered: * Mahi Basket: - really good, and my wife loved it. * Snapper Sandwich: with crunchy fries and sauce - solid and satisfying, also great fish Overall, the food was good, the vibe was matching, and the whole setting was really nice--just the service didn't quite match. But honestly, if we hadn't been in a hurry, it probably wouldn't have bothered us. They also have a pier for boat parking, a small gift shop, and air conditioned bathrooms (haha). Nice spot!

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.

Located in a container yard parking lot across from Home Depot, it's been operating here for several years and clearly has a steady following. The setup is simple but functional, with a shaded palapa area for seating. The menu sticks to the basics: tacos, quesadillas, tortas, and burritos. No gimmicks, no overcomplication--just straightforward Mexican street food. We tried a mix of tacos, and everything was well executed. Fresh tortillas, properly seasoned meats, good balance of toppings. Service was quick and efficient. Pricing is fair, especially for the Keys, and the overall experience is exactly what you want from a place like this--fast, simple, and satisfying. If you're in Marathon and looking for casual Mexican without the sit-down commitment, this is a solid option.
