Dave M.

Service was a little lacking, host & both servers said they were new & didn't know much about the menu, and were slow to cone around throughout the meal. Food was over all good. Prices seemed reasonable, but some items were light on volume. Crab cake app was really good. But the one that came with my dinner platter was very thin compared to the two that came with the appetizer. I upgraded to the grouper fillet in my large seafood platter entrée, it tasted good, but it was so small. I could've eaten it in one bite. I'd be willing to give it another try when we go back, if you sit outside, you are literally right next to the highway and traffic noise is moderately loud.

Everything about this place exceeded my expectations. The owner was so nice and really made the experience enjoyable. You can buy fresh fish to take home or eat in there, which is great. My wife and I shared the Poseidon platter and it was the perfect size. Watching the chickens in the tree next door while we ate was such a fun little bonus. If you go just before dusk you can watch them climb the tree to go to sleep.

If you like extremely fresh fish prepared perfectly and simply, this is the spot. They really know local fish and how to make the flavor shine. Let me be specific. If you want salmon or lobster thermador, go someplace else. If you want yellow tail, triple tail snapper or grouper, then come here. Ask what is off the boat today. I recommend the blackened seasoning which they apply sparingly. Tastes great and is not salty. The servers know their stuff. I like the thatched roof area for dinner because of the ambiance. But the deck in the other side has no tvs. A plus. You will love it. My fav.

I had the grouper it was the best fish I've had on this whole trip. It was seasoned to perfection. I got it grilled. They have many options for side dishes. Everyone was happy with their meal. The waitress Shay was extremely attentive and patient. She was by far one of the best waitresses we've had this whole time. they have a good fish selection. They also have a nice case full of fish that you can purchase the smoked fish dip looked so good Yum. Thank you so much.

Absolutely must go! I think the hype of "on the water" spots over rides great food in this area and this was our fav meal of the week. This indoor/outdoor hybrid restaurant was delicious and really a great fine. Seafood was fresh, seasoned to PERFECTION and not overcooked or oily. Fried seafood is a light dusting with great flavor and doesn't taste like flour and oil at other spots. Service was outstanding and don't leave without a slice of chocolate cake or pie. Absolutely will be back!

One of those I don't want to leave a review and spoil what feels like a hidden gem type reviews. Stopped here to dine in for some stone crabs (we saw the sign from the road), insanely fresh considering the price. Also got a pulled pork sandwich and shrimp tacos, both delicious. We were there right when it opened so not sure how busy it gets. We did see several locals and/or tourists drop in to ask about the catch of the day, the market seems a great spot to pick up seafood. Great service, but I could see it getting tricky if the crowd picked up. Certainly no frills seating, but expected considering how great the prices and quality were. They were telling us about some expansions and renovations, so it may spruced up by our next keys trip - because we will definitely be returning!

Lobster and grits Lobster great but worse grits ever for this dish
D W.

Great service Good breakfast The lobster and grits were a disappointment Instant grits made with water only with some sprinkled cheese on top was LAME Here's how you need to make them- Instant In a medium saucepan, bring chicken broth and 2 cups water to a boil; generously season with salt. Reduce heat to medium-low and bring to a simmer. Whisk in grits and cook, whisking constantly, until grits have absorbed liquid and are very tender, about 15 minutes. Stir in cheese and butter until melted; season with salt and pepper. Top with chopped green onions

Chicken eating crumbs

Food was overall good, but the main dish we came for was the Buffalo Mahi bites. They used to be thick, but they were very thin. (We last came in 2022.) Drinks were good and ambience was cool! The server was not very attentive.

Yellloe tail (. Best I've ever had )
Chelsea A.

Oh HEY! The best restaurant food down here. Looks small from outside. The people working are flying…read morearound busy. We all got fish sandwiches and a piece of German chocolate cake. Sandwich was killer!!! Cute how they stamp it with restaurant name. Fries were hot and tasty. Grabbed some fresh fish from the case to go. Beautiful selection of fresh fish. Some of the best. Oh don't forget the damn cookie. wooooowww! That thing was like no other cookie. Nice and plump, moist and we all wished we had a few more. Only like $2.50 each which was even more amazing! Go here! You will not regret.

I recently visited Fishtails and unfortunately left quite disappointed. Given how busy the…read morerestaurant was, I had high expectations--but the experience did not match the crowd. I ordered the grouper, which is typically a highlight in the Florida Keys, but it lacked even basic seasoning and fell flat in flavor. The coleslaw was noticeably too sweet for my taste, and the potato salad included green peppers, which is an unusual choice and didn't complement the dish well. The service also left much to be desired. Our waitress was inattentive and provided very little information throughout the meal. Most concerning was that we left a significant portion of our food untouched, yet she never checked in or asked if anything was wrong--something I would expect at any restaurant, especially one as busy as this. Overall, while the atmosphere may draw a crowd, the food quality and service did not meet expectations. For comparison, I've had a far better grouper sandwich at Keys Fisheries Market & Marina, which makes this experience even more disappointing. I hope improvements can be made, as this location clearly has potential. Respond to owner, your response is your opinion, I have no reason to give bad information, if you watched your video as you stated you would have been able to see my friend and I dusguessing the food, also she never refilled our tea as frankly we didn't even drink it all. A good and attentive waitress could have mentioned that it came with coleslaw not to give two portions. It's whatever sir and if you want to get more technical, they grouper was fishy tasting and still had the dark vein line down the filet.

All really good. Service was friendly but slow and plates arrived haphazardly, while we had to ask for plates and flatware. Nice scene with outdoor covered eatery and live music performer who entertained the crowd too! Mini golf next door was also fun and offered a 10% discount on the meal. All in all a nice way to spend a half day or so.

We kind of came here on a whim from good word of mouth. We were all thinking BBQ but we ended up…read moreordering seafood & sushi instead! I loved the vibe of this place - think tiki bar with a beachside vibe and setting but then also a BBQ joint thrown in for good measure. The menu is extensive - BBQ, seafood, sushi, bar food, tacos, etc. The menu is huge! The happy hour is pretty good too (speciality drinks for like $8 and decently priced app specials). One very cool thing, this place sits on a marina and my family saw manatees chilling out there. We literally were only a couple feet from them and watched them float around while we are out food. So cool. Live music is offered during most nights. Some advice, get here early because this place fills up fast! I think it is quite the haunt for locals and tourists alike. We would go here again in a heartbeat. The food was pretty good, portions were perfectly sized and prices were very reasonable, especially when compared to other places found in the Florida Keys.
