    Happy Hour Menu 3.21.25

    JP took such great care of us! I saw a photo of his brother on here and thought it was him! He looks just like his brother and I had to do a matching photo to post on here! He gave us a cool sticker and a stamp card. It was such a a nice surprise when he gave us 10% off our check just for being locals! The tuna in my bowl was great, so fresh and I like the tortilla surrounding it. I wished the rice a tad bit fluffier and not stuck to eat other and if it came with some lines on the side so I can squeeze some juice on top I did come in to try the smoked fish dip that I saw for happy hour a few months ago but that was gone and they didn't have the base for the crab soup It was a simple kinda cluttered keys style setting. But it was nice weather outside so it wasn't too bad eating with the fan hitting us Would like to give this a place another go once they get the crab soup back and the shrimp

    Stopped in on our way down the Keys. Quaint little place with friendly service and a fishing vibe. The food was served hot & was attractive. My only complaint was that my shrimp could have been seasoned more. It was just a bit bland. Otherwise, it was a good experience, and the prices were in line with other restaurants in the area.

    GLUTEN FREE fried shrimp!!!

    This place is AMAZING!!!!! I never eat fried foods as most is shared with a fryer that isn't dedicated to GF. They used a light dusting of GF flour and fry in a dedicated fryer so you can get sweet potato fries or regular. The service was wonderful. We sat outside and thankfully there was a fan blowing on me. But they do have indoor seating. Don't let the size of this place fool you. Amazing food!!!! We will be back!!

    We had lunch here and really enjoyed the outdoor patio. Plenty of shade on a warm day. Shrimp and grits and coconut shrimp with amazing brussel sprouts! Our waiter was delightful! He was funny and focused on making sure we had a great experience.

    This place has amazing food--always has! I've been back more than a handful of times, and it never disappoints. On one occasion, there was a small mistake with my takeout order, but when I mentioned it during my next visit, the staff went above and beyond by generously making it right with an extra portion.. The food is always quick, the restaurant is clean, and the service is consistently friendly. Highly recommend!

    Square Grouper Bar & Grill was the perfect last stop on our way home from the Keys! I had been…read moresearching all over for a great Key lime martini, and this one absolutely exceeded my expectations. It was perfectly balanced--tart, sweet, smooth, and strong without being overpowering. It was exactly what I had been hoping to find. Our bartender, Megan, made the experience even better. She was incredibly sweet, attentive, and genuinely friendly from start to finish. Since my friend was driving and didn't want alcohol, Megan made her a Key lime margarita-style mocktail that was absolutely delicious and so refreshing. It made my friend feel just as included in the experience, which we really appreciated. The service was outstanding from everyone we encountered. From the host who welcomed us to the team serving our food, everyone was warm, kind, and attentive. Our waters were refilled multiple times without us ever having to ask, and we always felt well taken care of. We ordered the buffalo shrimp, which came out hot, fresh, crispy, and packed with flavor. To finish, we shared the Oreo cheesecake, and it was the perfect ending to our meal. Megan checked in on us throughout our visit, making sure we were enjoying everything, and her genuine hospitality really stood out. This was, without a doubt, the best customer service we've experienced anywhere in the Florida Keys. We can't wait to come back the next time we're in Islamorada!

    Delicious food, great ambiance, and an amazing view!…read more We ordered the coconut shrimp as an appetizer and the fish sandwich for lunch, and everything definitely hit the spot. The food came out quickly and was delicious. I'm giving 4 stars because the service was a little slow. It took a while for our server to greet us, and they didn't bring clean plates after we finished our appetizer. We also asked for our sandwiches to be cut in half, but ended up having to do it ourselves. Overall, we enjoyed our meal and the beautiful atmosphere. With a little more attention to service, this would easily be a 5-star experience!

The salad was creative and tasty and the grilled shrimp were perfection, large and flavorful. French fries are perfect and crunchy. Heard from others how good the spiny lobster is(although very pricey). Service was great and the area is beautiful. We were excited to go again and decided the shrimp tacos and Mahi Mahi tacos would give us more of the same. Really nice live music was happening and again service was great. Tacos were a huge disappointment! Trying to find the fish was almost impossible, tiny pieces! The shrimp was bay size baby shrimp that couldn't be tasted through all the other stuff. Big disappointment. Fries still good. Would go again but keep our expectations to what we have had and not more

    I got sooo many recommendations to go here, I had to with my wife for our 24th Wedding Anniversary…read more I'm giving this place 5 stars overall even though I had 1 major disappointment-the miserable young woman hostess who made us feel like we were bothering her by wanting to go into the restaurant. No smile, No congeniality, Little eye contact, Did Not listen and I had to repeat myself. The reception we received would have made us turn around and go somewhere else, if I hadn't had so many recommendations. OK, now the reasons why I have given them 5 stars. We were quoted a 45 minute wait (about 7:30pm on Tuesday night) but luckily some bar stools opened up AS SOON as we walked in and so we sat at the bar (they offered their full menu), and Fernando, who was EXTREMELY busy, greeted us with a smile and very pleasant demeanor. He prepared our drinks, which were delicious. Right next to him and working the 'Service Bar' was the Manager on Duty: Lauren. She was very pleasant and engaged with us whenever she had the opportunity. She even helped us with menu suggestions, unfortunately, we spoke about one of their nightly specials, the Shrimp Piccata with Gnocchi, but they were sold out when we tried to order it with Fern. So we had a great experience at the bar, and here's the food review; -Fried Whole Yellowtail. Delicious! Presented like a picture and cooked perfectly! Loved the sauce, Pico, Jasmine Rice & Fried tostones. -Citrus/Beet Salad with Whipped Goat Cheese, Quinoa, Nuts, Arugula tossed in a light vinaigrette. All I can say: "Empty Plate Club"...DELICIOUS!! -Now the BEST plate: PEI Mussels. THIS WAS THE BEST PREPARATION OF MUSSELS-I HAVE EVER HAD! The mussels were fresh but the sauce was a "Mic Drop"!!! I split the mussel shell in half, and scooped the mussel shell into the AMAZING sauce and ate it like I was slurping a fresh oyster! After the mussels were finished I ate the rest of the sauce WITH A FORK!!! The sauce was delicious, thick, with garlic and hot spice. I attacked the plate and forgot to take a picture...sorry! We ended our meal with a tasty piece of delicious Key Lime Pie. GREAT EXPERIENCE AND RECOMMEND AND WILL COME BACK!!! Lauren, great job, the place ran clean, efficient and professional!
