Went there with friends on our way back from Key west. A definite stop on your way to the island. Food is fresh and taste is fab! Service is great too. They have indoor and outdoor seating. We tried Chicken skewers and tacos and they were all good! Serving size was good. Parking in front of the place. read more

I try now to limit my 5 star ratings because if everything is 5 stars then it doesn't matter what a review says. And, there are way too many 5 star ratings. The Twisted Shrimp earned the 5 stars. You order at the counter and they bring the grub to your table. You won't be difficult to find because the place seats about 20. It's small so don't bring a huge group in. We ordered a pound of fried shrimp with a side of fried okra and the shrimp tacos. This okra was perfect. I mean I don't know if it was fresh but it sure as heck tasted fresh. Then there was the shrimp. Fried shrimp are often over battered and are often a lot of breading with a little shrimp. Not here! Very lightly battered and fried to perfection. Perfection means the shrimp are cooked for the appropriate amount of time so they are not chewy. You have dipping sauces but I just went with tarter sauce which was delicious. Finally, the shrimp tacos are three street style tacos with a mango salsa. You can have the shrimp prepared fried blackened or jerk. They were awesome. Since it was just the wife and me once we each had a taco we look down to the last one and then looked at each other. That's how good they are. She gave it to me! read more

After living in Islamorada for over year, this is decidedly the best food in the keys.

We come to Islamorada every July, for the month. I feel like we've tried every restaurant. Today, we discovered this hidden gem. This place is AMAZING!!!! Best tuna nachos in Islamorada, hands down. We also had the shrimp and fish tacos. They were fantastic. Everything was so fresh and delicious. New family favorite! We will definitely be back. read more

Wow! We stopped in here after a Key West trip and it was very good! Service was great, food was great! We tried the BoomBoom Shrimp and Jerk Shrimp Skewer with rice. We both had the Brussels Sprouts and they were glazed with balsamic and Parmesan. Perfect meal! Shrimp were cooked perfectly! read more

Food and service are fantastic. Very reasonable prices. The shrimp baskets are the best. AND gluten free! We have eaten at several places this week and this is my family's favorite. read more

I think twisted shrimp has the best fried shrimp in the keys. Absolutely love the coating on it, very light. I highly recommend you try it

Five stars on the food and services!!! The food was AMAZING!! We ordered the Boom Boom shrimp, the Mahi warp, conch fritters and a burgers. Quality food at its best. The staff was very attentive. I recommend you stop and eat here!!! A must. read more

5 stars is simply not high enough for this place. The food, the service, the vibes.. everything about this place is 10/10. I have a sesame allergy and Simon (our waiter) checked the labels of the sauces we were served to make sure none had sesame and that kind of care is not something that occurs often. read more

Amazing experience TWICE! I am not sure what to rave about more the food or the customer service! Our server Natalie was customer service perfection. She is so courteous and made our experience delightful with her cheerful personality. Her hospitality coupled with the great seafood cooked to order made this a delightfully rare experience. It is bit often you get great service and food at the same place but Twisted Shrimp mastered it so well that I not only visited once but went back for more during my stay in Islamorada! The cracked conch was so tender and flavorful, shrimp and grits delicious. The shrimp was actual shrimp, not some breaded frozen out the box mess dropped in grease, like other places!.The fried okra was delicious, and the crab cake had actual crab meat in it! Everything I ordered was freshly cooked, flavorful, and delicious. If you are ever in the area this is a definite MUST GO TO restaurant! Can't wait to go again. read more

I'm not really understanding why there are such great reviews of this place, our experience was not a good one, and the food was subpar at best. One star for service and one for the chicken I guess??? Here's what happened. We showed up with a party of 6, sat down and ordered the conch fritters and some waters. While waiting for our appetizer, we asked what fish is used in the fish and chips and were told it's mahi, however they are out of mahi (which is basically the only other thing they have besides shrimp and chicken) and oh, by the way, they also don't have wraps because they're out of tortillas as well. I feel like we should've been told this right off the bat because it takes a significant portion of the menu out of commission, and at that point all of us had decided on what meals we wanted, so it was pretty disappointing. They do not have a liquor license, they only have soft drinks and water. Two in our party left to go elsewhere, my family and I regretfully stuck it out. My husband got a jerk chicken sandwich, he said it was "ok" and that the chicken seemed of good quality. The fries were not crispy at all. My son's chicken fingers came out hot and were cooked well. My daughter got the rice bowl and there were dry, hard pieces of rice in it which I can only assume is because they batch cook the rice and it was from the day before or something. I got shrimp and grits and had to send it back because there were hard, chewy pieces of rice in that as well. Side note, they also served the grits on top of a lettuce leaf which was buried underneath (?!?) so weird. The flavor of the grits was almost sweet, not pleasant to me. Our waitress was accommodating and did remove that from the bill. The outside seating area has a cute ramshackle patio kind of feel which would have been much cuter if the food was actually good. Would not go back. read more

This was the surprise of our latest visit to Islandmorada. Tacos and Shrimp Po Boy were great. Next time I want to try a bowl. An uncle and nephew were pumping out great food on a rainy night. read more

I stopped in for lunch after visiting "The Lobster Shack" down the street at which I couldn't tell if they were actually serving their "World Famous Lobster Roll." It looked more like a coffee stand with a bunch of gift shops. I gave up there after I wasn't greeted standing at the coffee window for several minutes. Their loss. My gain. That brought me to Twisted Shrimp. So glad I came. The staff was super friendly and the food was awesome. I had the Shrimp Po' Boy wrap with sweet potato fries. It was excellent! So much flavor from the wrap and fries. I'm on The Island for 11 more days. Definitely will hit this place again to try a different dish. I doubt it will disappoint. read more

Stopped by on our way to Key West. I had the special Boom Boom shrimp, my wife had the shrimp and grits, kids had fish and chips, and kids shrimp basket. All the food was really good with tons of flavor. The staff was really friendly and helpful. Would definitely recommend! read more

Absolutely delicious ! Stopped here on the way home from key west and it was so yummy. The service was a 10/10 and food was as well. I got the Mahi mahi tacos and my husband got the mahi burrito and both were perfect. Got seated and served fast. Will be back ! read more

I had the fish sandwich. Let me say it was just okay, not great. Fish was cooked well, but lacked seasoning , and the bun resembled a hot dog roll. Fries were overcooked. I would not go back. read more

Yum. They came out and held the door as I approached. Seriously. When has that ever happened? There's indoor and outdoor seating; I went with in. Inside is graffiti-covered walls, which gives a definite informal but fun ambiance. Wooden table and chairs, which is a step above. Daily specials on a chalkboard, otherwise a paper menu. Quick service, sort-of able to answer questions about what their spices are ("what is 'jerk'?"--I'm from the midwest, give me a break), but nice about it. Quick with food prep. Potato-fries were perfect (as opposed to sweet potato, which I didn't try). I had a jerk shrimp taco and another kind of shrimp taco in a flour tortilla. Delicious and filling. Not too much spice. Lots of crunch from fresh lettuce. Could have used a touch more relish/pickled whatever to contrast with the shrimp. Shrimp was divine. Price was probably the cheapest I ran into. And the restroom was clean. It definitely makes the top 5 of places in the Keys I'd stop again. read more

My wife and I stopped here on our weekend vacation to Islamorada... We came because the gluten free options were almost too good to be true. It's incredibly rare for my wife who has celiac disease to find fried Mahi Mahi and other fish to be gluten free at restaurants. We will be coming back each visit. read more

Came down to the keys for our 19th wedding anniversary for 5 days. Ended up eating here 4 times and a total of 9 lbs of shrimp!!! Yes it's that good. Don't miss the specials on buckets. read more

Very delicious lunch, wonderful service. I had the shrimp po boy wrap, and it was delicious. The only disappointment was that they were out of glazed Brussels sprouts-would of loved to have that for my side. I did have the sweet potato fries, and they were very good. read more

This gem of a restaurant is tiny in size without a lot of ambiance, but it makes up for it in their delicious food. The shrimp and grits was enjoyed by my finicky husband and I had the blackened shrimp tacos which were done perfectly. The blackening wasn't too spicy and the cabbage and fresh mango were great accompaniments. I chose the roasted Brussels sprouts with balsamic glaze as my side and it was very tasty too. I ordered to go and it was just as good once I got back to our house. Love this little restaurant! read more

A very quaint place. The prices were good for the portion size...most importantly the food was excellent!!! The shrimp and fish were really fresh, and prepared perfectly... the service was great too!!! if you're passing through it's an excellent place for a quick wonderful meal... read more

Nice little place. Very clean. Bella our waitress(the only waitress) is wonderful. Food came out quick and hot. My husband loved his chicken and shrimp fajitas. Said they were delicious. The down side, barely no options for non shrimp eater. A frozen burger patty and frozen French fries. Definitely need real fresh options for non seafood eaters. Unfortunately we will not return unless something changes. read more

Wow this restaurant was an amazing find! We were a bit apprehensive since it is situated on busy route 1. But the service and quality of the food made up for the road noise. We loved the place so much that we went back a second time. The mahi-mahi tacos, shrimp and grits ( with a touch of cumin) and grilled mahi-mahi and shrimp with rice were absolutely delicious. Couldn't beat happy hour prices! Carlos the co-owner was very personable, and sincerely wanted to make sure everything was ok. The restaurant has only been open for a year. Hopefully we can visit again the next time we are in the Keys. read more

We stopped here this evening for dinner and really enjoyed it. Food is cooked quickly and served hot and delicious. My husband had a shrimp basket with large shrimp. I had an island po'boy wrap with amazing brussel sprouts on the side instead of fries. Eat here; you won't regret it! read more

The food I had was amazing. Great and friendly staff. Definitely planing to come back.

Shrimp was great and flavorful; for those that don't like seafood they had awesome burgers! read more

This is a great lunch spot with outdoor seating. Everything came out quickly and was delicious. Buffalo wings were on special for Monday do $0.30 and came with plenty of meat on bones. The Brussels Sprouts are a must get side. Shrimp Po Boy and Tacos were perfect. read more

The food was OK nothing really to brag about other than the high prices, but anything you get in the keys are going to be expensive anyway. I do see a lot of time and effort put into preparing the food so in general, I would say it's about average for their location read more

PHENOMENAL! just go, you will be happy you did. I had the shrimp tacos and hubby had the shrimp & bacon quesadilla. The mango salsa is to die for and the side of Brussels sprouts are out of this world, crispy and delicious. If you are looking for quality food this is the place. read more

Excellent food and atmosphere! The staff was very kind. Highly recommend if you're in Islamorada.

Best fried shrimp I've eaten in a long time. Their lobster bisque is hard to beat also. We found them busy but the food was tasty.

Service and food was great!!! Had a wonderful time with my family. We had the fried shrimps and po'boy shrimps.

The crab bisque and crab burger was excellent! We also tried the fish tacos and they were great. Good service! Well recommended.

HOLY AMAZING!!! Everyone at our hotel recommended twisted shrimp and I'm so thankful they did!! It was one of the best dinners we had! I had the twisted shrimp po boy and my husband had the friend shrimp wrap. Both were so so tasty and the shrimps were cooked perfectly! My husbands wrap was lightly fried, which was delicious. He had a side of mashed sweet potatoes and I had the French fries. Both were delicious, his sweet pots just melted off the fork. The staff was super nice and brought our dinners out pretty quickly, while they were absolutely slammed!! read more

Holy shit that was good. Like, standout, made me jump back on YELP after not having written a review in a while, good. 1st of all, its the seasoning on the shrimp that makes it stand out. It's not just regular fried shrimp. This tastes different and better. Then you dip it in that Remoulade sauce... yes I said the remoulade, not cocktail sauce. They have both, but the remoulade is better. 2nd, their shrimp and grits is a must do. Not just because these people have mastered shrimp, but the dish is a good complete dish. We ordered take-out during quarantine that was delivered to our car window, but we can't wait to go back, sit down with a large group, and order everything and share. read more
