What a great find. The reviews on Yelp were very helpful. When we pulled in I wasn't sure what to expect, from the outside it doesn't say this is the place. But, once you walk in the place is really cool. The food was excellent and the portions were shareable to say the least. The edamame and calamari was delicious. We shared the seafood special and they plated it individually for us. Be sure to ask about off menu items, there were a lot. Best part is we went on our second night in Marathon and we are already planning to return again before we leave. Great spot! read more

Our favorite place to come to every time we come to the Keys. It's a must stop. Family owned the freshest fish you'll ever have. The lamb chops ought to die for and a duck is just absolutely succulent amazing. It is my father the best macaroni and cheese I've ever had in my entire life anywhere. If you want a great meal and a great atmosphere go to Baracuda you'll love this place in Marathon Florida. read more

Went for dinner on a Monday evening. Only a few tables were seated! Asked to sit outside. Server was lovely and attentive. We had the Brussel sprout in curry app. It was ok. No spice, but tasty. Husband had the grouper and said it was good. I had the lamb chops. I wanted to love them, but they were a bit tough. Overall a good experience though! read more

We were the last table on a drizzly Tuesday night. We got a late start and wanted local seafood and it was only one of a handful that was open later than 9 PM. Service was mid. Although there seemed to only be one server, there were only three other tables and they were finishing up their meals when we arrived. Not sure why it took so long to bring us water and take our drink order. Food was mostly good. It was a decent experience. read more

Fresh and delicious! The staff didn't expect the crowd due to Island Fish water main break causing them to close Christmas Day. They were overwhelmed by the busyness but kept up! No staff sat around. Our group had the grouper with homemade and very fresh veggies, made to order pesto and scallops fresh, surf and turf was cooked just right, meatballs and linguine were better than your Italian big box restaurants. read more

6 of us came for dinner and everything we ate was phenomenal! Great service, friendly staff, fun atmosphere!

Ambiance was alright. Food was very mediocre. Service was mid-range to slow. Bread basket was probably the best thing there was (and we ordered several items including the 'fresh fish'). Pretty pricey for the experience. read more

Very good, but not outstanding food served in large quantities. Great value in comparison to other sit down restaurants on Marathon. The fish here is better than anything I get back at home. But, after a week of eating yellowtail snapper at different places, I found this dinner credible and not the best. If I came here first, I may have given a fifth star. In the other hand, there was so much snapper that I couldn't finish it. Ship the shrimp shumai appetizer. Never had deep fried shumai before. And the dinner is so big, you don't need the appetizer. read more

Food here is always extremely tasty and fresh! Their peppercorn garlic salad dressing should be bottled and sold! My husband usually has the hot (spicy)calamari & shrimp ! Is so good he always needs extra bread to sop up the juice! My go to is their grilled snapper in key lime butter! Outstanding! You must go there! read more

Well, we are new to the area and since I haven't been cooking a lot with my boyfriend and I have been off eating out in the restaurants around Key West and the other Keys going into Key West and trying out a lot of different fish spreads and I think we found the best of the best the barracuda Grill and marathon they give you a nice portion with sweet pickles, but the best thing they didn't serve it up with some shitty white cracker read more

Food was awful can't recommend for seafood the fried apps were over fried took to long to get service when we sat down, no ambiance it wasn't even crowded, don't bother to eat there! read more

I'm truly surprised that the ratings for this restaurant are so high. We were in Marathon an entire week. We drove by this place several times and there was never anyone in there. One night, it was late and we were out of dining options, so we stopped in for dinner to give it a try. The waitress was very friendly and accommodating. The salad was fine, but nothing to write home about. We ordered the pesto pasta with vegetables, and it was way below par. The vegetables were onion, red pepper and I believe green pepper with macaroni! My husband ordered fish, and it came with mashed potatoes smothered in butter. The fish was breaded and seemed to be previously frozen. To top it off, the meal was not inexpensive. There are a lot of better options for dinner in Marathon! read more

Service was excellent. The menu was. Was awesome from lamb chops to steak spaghetti and meatballs covers all the bases you want we found that the steak. There was better than the local steakhouse. read more

Absolutely great food and service! Decor was cool to see with wall full of variations of art of barracudas. A lot of food for the money too! Cannot beat this place and I will definitely be back. read more

The food was amazing. Brussels in yellow curry sauce was addictive and the duck was perfectly cooked. Also, a little expensive but everything is included salad, veg, potatoes. Will look forward to returning next time in the Keys. No room for dessert but all made in house. read more

Our waitress was friendly, knowledgeable about everything on the menu, and very attentive. The food was delicious! Our entrees came with salad and she brought her suggested dressing (I can't remember the name) and it was fabulous! I had the yellow snapper that came with mashed potatoes and vegetables. It was fresh and bright. We also ordered the seafood pasta special that was loaded with beautiful and plentiful. Our server told us they are also open for lunch. We will definitely be back the next time we are in Marathon! read more

Our waitress Yani was absolutely wonderful! Her recommendations were spot on and the food and service is second to none!! We are looking forward to our next visit, many options that are different from all the usual Keys menus. read more

A quiet little gem. If you seek a quality experience all round, you seek Barricuda Grill. Service is solid, & a nice menu as well. read more

Pleasantly surprised! Been to Marathon a few times over years and always drove by this place. Always looked empty. Stopped in Labor Day night as they were one of the few open. There were a few people there. We sat outside. One of the specials was a 18oz cowboy steak..went for it. Little over cooked. Ordered medium. I suggest medium rare. But damn it was good. Wife had short ribs. Fall w apart delicious. Definitely a keeper and must try in the area. Don't let the outside fool you. Place is legit! read more

Easy stop on the Hwy to Key West; our lunch was relaxed and good! We enjoyed the excellent Seafood Quesadillas with a daily special of Raspberry Salad (fresh greens) with Blackened Hogfish. Both choices were tasty, and the Seafood Quesadilla could've been paired with Shrimp Tacos for a tapas-style cornucopia of seafood for two! They have good wine and Sangria offerings, but the Sweet Teas were spot-on for our TX taste-buds! Lunch for two was $35 plus tip, not bad for seafood on a tourist highway. read more

This was easily our best meal of the week in the Florida Keys. Each of us ordered a different dish and they were fantastic. The service was personal, energetic and fun. We are so happy we discovered Barracuda Grill and will tell everyone who visits the Keys that this is a must stop! read more

Food was phenomenal. Service was friendly. Ambience was nice but still relaxed and kid friendly. Highly recommend!

Intimate place and delicious fresh food. We had seafood and really enjoyed it. Service was on point.

Don't go here. Sat for 25 minutes and was ignored. Never asked for a drink order. Never asked if we need anything. If I could give 0 starts I would. read more

We had an excellent meal last night. The snapper was perfectly prepared and a generous portion, accompanied by delicious mashed potatoes and vegetables cooked just right. Service was excellent with scant customers when we visited. Prices of meals on higher side but wine is more modestly priced. Ambience is simple and very clean. Definitely recommend a visit. read more

Stumbled across this place on the way to somewhere else. Turned out to be my favourite dining experience so far. Food was excellent, wine list great and all was beautifully presented and fresh tasting. Service was also great. Loved it! read more

A very intimate, delicious restaurant with fabulous food & service! Such a hidden gem!

We made a random stop for lunch at the Barracuda Grill while driving from Key West to Miami. Don't be fooled by the unassuming appearance of the building! This was some of the best food we ate in the Keys. My wife was debating the fresh catch sandwich. Our helpful waitress let her know that the seafood just arrived 15 minutes earlier, so she ordered the grouper sandwich. The fish was enormous and hung far outside of the bun. She said it was delicious and the best fish she had in quite a long time. I ordered the BLT (I know, how exciting), but was also surprised. It had a generous portion of thick cut bacon. Both sandwiches came with their homemade fries. They are thick cut and look like they ran the potatoes through an apple corer. You won't be disappointed! read more

What an Awesome experience. Our server was Yani and she was fantastic. Sweet, funny, attentive and had great recommendations. We tried all of the fish dishes. They were fresh, cooked well and paired with fresh, crisp veggies. It's a small local spot with family owned vibes. The edamame was also delicious! Definitely going back. Check out this local staple that's been around over 30 years! read more

Barracuda Grill - Yani, our amazing server, helping make memories with delicious key lime pie. - Seafood Near Me - Marathon, Florida

The food was good. The service was ok. The problem was an about 3 year old little girl that talked the whole time in a high shrill voice. She seemed to belong to one of the cooks that came out and played with her and unfortunately he was louder than she was. Very annoying when you are at a white tablecloth restaurant. read more

Not nearly as good as they charged. We don't mind paying top dollar for a nice meal out, but this wasn't it. My husband and I pulled in for an 8pm-ish dinner. There were plenty of open tables. Others arriving later ordered before us. The menu seemed limited/expensive for what was offered. We spent $65 on spaghetti and meatballs (he said it was good), and "shrimp scampi" that had tomato SAUCE mixed in (the menu gave the impression that perhaps there were *some* diced tomatoes). Never seen tom sauce in ANY scampi recipe. I basically had linguini w tom sauce and plenty of garlic, topped with (agreeably) plenty of shrimp. Canned Parmesan cheese came with the dishes to sprinkle as desired. Side salads with the meal were standard (I think mine had smushed tomatoes in it, but his Caesar was ok). We got 3 small rolls with our salads and were never offered more when our meal came. The server was polite, when she stopped by (we were right by the door to the kitchen). The wine was as expected ($10 for a glass of sauv blanc, again, not asked if I wanted another), and my husband had water. Overall, the food was edible, but my dish was NOT worth $31. His was a bit pricey ($19) for what he got. Skipped the dessert. Wish we had chosen better for our last night in town. read more

Love that they really cater to families. They have a drawing 'contest' for kids and they win a cup of ice cream for dessert. Yellowtail snapper was delicious. Huge portions. Seafood pasta with lobster tail, shrimp, and scallop was very tasty. read more

Absolutely delicious. Went here twice while in Marathon FL for a week. Had fish both times and the fish was cooked perfectly. Garlic mashed potatoes were great and the side veggies were good. Go for the food as the ambiance and understand you are not going for the ambiance, though the did have cloth tablecloth, covered in paper. read more
