One of our favourite places for food on the planet! The menu choice is excellent, food quick and absolutely delicious...there are so many food options locally but this is the only place on the Keys we purposely went back to again! The setting is beautiful, the waiting staff awesome and for families it is a must! Make sure you feed the Tarpons in the adjoining walkway too (small fees apply).
We were first seated by the fan, which was extremely loud. We asked if we could move. Our waitress told us no, so we asked the hostess. She allowed us to move closer to the water. Our next waitress was not friendly, but we made the best of it. My burger was okay. The lettuce was brown, so I fed it to the iguanas that were at my feet. The people around us were nice, and we had good conversations with everyone. The food was nothing to rave about, especially for the price.
Yummy food, neat environment, unique gift shops, and great entertainment! We enjoyed lunch at the Hungry Tarpon restaurant on our way down to Key West! Highly recommend the BBQ cheese burger, blackened chicken quesadilla, and key lime pie! After eating, we headed down to feed the tarpon - such a fun experience! The tarpon were HUGE! Leaving with full bellies and fun memories is a guarantee when visiting Hungry Tarpon/Robbie’s Marina!
Waiters were exceptionally helpful and nice, waterfront dining was nice. However food was not at all what we expected as a family of 6. Fried Calamari undercooked, snapper was not good, kids mac & cheese was horrible. Mahi tacos were the only good plates in my opinion. Wont be back to eat,, only for the tarpon feeding experience side.
We enjoyed lunch at this Florida Keys iconic place. Stopped for lunch and to feed the tarpon. The crunchy grouper sandwich was awesome as well as the hamburger sliders on Hashbrown crisp buns. Enjoyed our time here. Fun shopping opportunities and photo pops as well.
Worst experience in Islamorada. Arrived saturday 08/12 @7:30am to have a beautiful dockside breakfast and ended up with the worst experience in Islamorada. We stood at the front for 4 minutes while everyone working just continued to setup, carrying cambros of condiments. Finally, someone greeted us and handed us a set of menus and cutlery saying "sit wherever you'd like". We sat at one of the 38-40 empty outside tables. There was only one other party of 3 in the entire restaurant. As soon as we sat we were screamed at from across the dock in a lovely tone by Regina. "You can't sit there!" she exclaimed. Regina has no tack and is extremely blunt and rude. She is no doubt hurting the reputation of this establishment. My wife ordered the French toast with her hashbrowns extra crispy. The French toast was just an average donut cut in half and heated. The hashbrowns arrived extra microwaved, limp and tasting heavily of freezer frost. They also came covered in cold from the fridge shredded cheddar cheese and green onion to cover the soggy, oily wreck that was her hasbrowns. We didnt ask for the cheese ontop. They did it to hide the hashbrowns. Usually, hashbrowns come crispy and flat from the griddle. These were shredded and reheated. Her bacon was burnt almost black to a crisp and at the same time completely floppy. Clear indication of microwaving. They even tried to hide the bacon under the hashbrowns. I ordered the lobster scramble. Absolutely cruel ratio of lobstermeat. The "red pepper aioli" is quit literally mayonnaise and paprika. The 2 slices of Swiss on top were heated just enough for them to sweat out their oil and keep its square shape but not melt. The cheese oil combined with the mayonnaise oil was absolutely inedible and like hot throw up on eggs. SEE PICTURE! Needless to say we left 90% of our food. Regina didn't even ask if everything was OK. Complete lack of customer service skills and empathy. It was clear she doesnt care if we liked it or not. She's seems to be used to people leaving all their food because the best part is she didn't ask us if we need a to go box. She just said in the rudest tone I've ever heard "gimme your plate", "if not the birds will make a mess." DO NOT FALL FOR INSTAGRAM OR TIKTOK VIDEOS OF THIS PLACE! Service was a 1, food was a 1. Alabama Jack's does it 100x better and with 100x more class that that waitress will wherever have. REGINA WAS THE OPPOSITE OF WHAT I EXPECT AND LOOK FOR IN A FOOD SEFVICE WORKER. WILL NEVER RECOMMEND THIS PLACE. THAT LADY IS RUDE AND UNPLEASANT.
It is a tourist trap worth stopping at!! Loved everything! The food was great to and just the right portion to have a little left for the iguanas! :) Feeding the tarpons and sharks was amazing too!
Nice little spot for lunch after a fun time kayaking! Super crowded, but it was Friday afternoon. Had the Korean spicy chicken sliders, they were very tasty!
