Love coming to Buzzard's!!! Chill vibes by the water and staff were so friendly. The food for the Sunday brunch was delicious and a great price for a large portion of food. Plus the Sunday brunch comes with a complimentary mimosa. Parking gets pretty tricky because it does get packed but it's sure worth it. Highly recommend to anyone! read more

ROACHES! We chose this restaurant for our last lunch before heading home from a wonderful trip to the Florida Keys. We debated sitting inside or outside and ultimately chose to sit inside because of the heat. Within minutes of sitting down, I suddenly felt something crawling up my leg. I screamed, and to my horror it was a cockroach. My husband had to jump up and step on it. What was even more disappointing than the cockroach itself was how the situation was handled. No manager came over to check on me or apologize. No one asked if I was okay after such a shocking experience. I informed both the hostess and our server about what happened and, trying to lighten the moment, jokingly said, "The least you could do is buy me a glass of wine." My server later returned and told me they had declined. I understand that unexpected things can happen anywhere, especially in the Keys. What I don't understand is the complete lack of concern or customer service afterward. A sincere apology, a manager checking in, or even a small gesture of goodwill would have gone a long way. Instead, we were left feeling dismissed and unimportant. Unfortunately, because of how this was handled, I can't recommend dining here. Also the Food was horrible on top of everything we should have left after the roach! read more

Outside seating was immediate. Allowed our two little dogs to lay down under table. Smoked fish dip for app (ask for fresh veggies in lieu of crackers for GF option). Broiled Hogfish for the wife (gluten free) and blackened Mahi for me. Very good. Evening was enjoyable right til when our mains came out then flies started buzzing. Funny they left when we were done with mains. Had another drink to relax. All n all will be back. read more

Super relaxed place for a lunch, make sure you sit outside by the canal for a nice view. Always friendly waiters and service! The smoked fish dip is a must-have appetizer! read more

It's hidden on the main path at the mouth of a canal attached to a boat marina-storage facility. Indoor, screened outdoor and tarp covered outdoor seating. Staff is friendly and mostly on top of things. Nice drink and menu choices with mostly average to above averse pricing. Most of the drinks can be made frozen like the Rita Colada, the onion straw basket was very good and plentiful. The chicken salad quesadillas was different and good and the yellowtail snapper on a Greek pita was a unique twist,but the toppings truly ruined to ability to taste the fish. read more

The food is amazing! Great selection for the whole family. Nice Key West vibes! Prices are reasonable for seafood. Get the hog fish!

Wow! Everything is as so delicious! We got the wings, sweet potato fries, blackened, mahi-mahi, lobster bisque, calamari, shrimp, scampi, and drinks. The only thing I would not recommend it would be the oyster. They tasted fine. They were just super small Florida oysters and you can get much better in the world! read more

Loved this place... found on Yelp and didn't disappoint. When you drive up it seems like you're in front of a house ( we weren't sure we found it. It's a a great restaurant with a great view. Indoor and out door seating and a bar. The menu is amazing (see pics). I had the lobster Rueben that many yelpers wrote about. I thought it was good but not sure lived up to the hype ... still, I really liked it. ( $33). The other meal was chicken marsala over angel hair. This was a huge portion that could have easily been shared ( 'uge) Also had the onion loaf with horseradish, this was awesome. For drinks I had a key lime vodka martini... was very good. The service was great , super friendly. We'd def come back and try some other menu items. read more

Food was flavorful and plentiful! Fish dip was stand out delicious. Ceviche was fresh. Nice views.

Visiting the area and saw the good reviews for this place. Ambiance was fair and overall a clean spot. Family got some lobster and shrimp, and sadly everything was tough. And overcooked. Only thing was wasn't poorly done was the key lime pie. Won't give it a second chance but can share that the service was great. read more

Probably our best all around meal while in key largo! A quaint local spot, The fresh fish of several varieties were so perfectly prepared and melted in your mouth. The seafood pasta was a family favorite as well! Wish we'd have found it earlier in our trip- we would've definately been a repeat and repeat and repeat! Highly reccommend!! Forgot to add- service here is the best! read more

Cute restaurant with nice vibes and outdoor seating right off a canal that was idyllic on the December evening I visited after Art Basel on my way to Key West. They had a dry erase board with specials and funky little drawings near the front door. Stuff like that warms my heart as I've spent many an hour producing work like that at restaurants. I had the conch. I had to look up on my phone what conch even was! I'd come across references to Key West as the Conch Republic maybe 2 or 3 times but never bothered to find out what conch actually is. I was on vacation and feeling adventurous and figured if I was going to the Conch Republic I should actually try conch. Well, I don't think I like sea snails very much. Of course I have no idea what good conch is and what bad conch is and it's no fault of this restaurant I wasn't a big fan of something I blindly rolled the dice on. Like one time I went to a restaurant and ordered liver and onions just cause I'd never had it my whole life. Not Palmer's Inn's fault I didn't like liver and onions. And I at least would prefer conch over that. I did eat all my conch as I was hungry and I hate wasting food. I didn't complain to the waitress either. She was nice and gave me good service so I wasn't going to give her a hard time about some cuisine I knew nothing about. I've still never had escargot and this makes me think I won't sing the praises of that either. I forget what sides I ordered as it's nine months later and I'm just getting caught up on some old reviews. My vegetables did hit the spot, though, and I drank a water and cranberry juice and even considered dessert but didn't bite before hitting the road to bed down in Islamorada. Probably should be an incomplete grade here but sometimes I just review places as a trip down memory lane to help keep their memories alive for future days. Who knows if I'll ever make it back to Key Largo so I'm leaving this here for posterity. read more

After our evening experience, we felt we had to go in for Sunday Brunch, and after that we visited on our way out of Key Largo for lunch - so we had the full complement of meals at Buzzard's Roost and loved all of them. Brunch was amazing. I had (big surprise) Eggs Benedict, and they were awesome - a bit runny, but good and the home fries were perfection. With a brunch entree you get a complementary mimosa - so that was yummy. Wayne had an omelette with chili and the same home fries. For lunch (not that day) we had another great meal. I have recently become a fan of smoked fish dip and it was great here - served with purple onion, tomato and heart-shaped crackers. I followed that with a tuna melt - which was delish on rye bread, cheddar cheese and onions. It was so good I didn't have room for fries! Wayne got a special Mahi sandwich, blackened, served with cheddar cheese on wheat bread - he said it went great with the special margarita. We had Annie as our server for these two meals - and despite the fact that they were super busy, she took great care of us. read more

Wow, visiting the Miami area, we spent a couple days in Key Largo and came across this restaurant. Before you read any further, call the airline, get a ticket, stay on the ground for at least three days, and call the restaurant and make sure Ali is working to be your server. Ali is worth the wait. Plan your trip around Ali. Did I say " Seafood Veracruz? Picture attached. I have been lucky enough to eat at amazing restaurants all over USA, Canada, Mexico, England, France, Ireland and the Caribbean. I have had hundreds of memorable meals. Seafood Veracruz beats them all. The only thing better was Ali's sparkling personality and attentive service. Restaurant says it is an occasional special but they always have the ingredients so just ask. If you are still reading, STOP! Pack Leave Tell Ali Ron & Family sent you.

Everything here is ok. There is a great view to the Atlantic and while I was there a manatee was hanging out between the docks, eating and playing. I had fish tacos, which were good. I was surprised at how much fish was in them and I had to take one of them home (you get 3). They were a little drippy, not sure why. The drinks were good. There is a neat bar there I'd like to hang out at sometime. read more

We sat outside with a nice view of the boats. Friend service. We ordered: Mahi tacos: 5/5 delicious! Calamari: 4:5 could be crispier but overall good Blacken fish: 4/5 good Lobster bisque:3/5 super thick. Not what I expected from a disque Conch fritters: 3/5 super bready. Would skip these. Hogfish fish basket: 3/5 just ok Oh my so much fries food! Highlight was when my kid spotted a manatee by the boats. Very cool! read more

The name of the restaurant makes it sound like a total dive. "Hey, I'm heading over to Buzzard's for a pitcher of Bud and some stale nut mix!" For what it's worth, I've got nothing against dives and actually prefer them when the time is right. But Buzzard's, while not the French Laundry, is anything but a dive. It's casual, attractive, family friendly, and the food is far better than any place called "Buzzard's" should be. Our server was amazing. She gave excellent recommendations and was beyond friendly. She might be my favorite server of all time. You can sit inside or out. Outside is lovely and right on the water; unfortunately, it was crazy windy during our visit so we sat inside. The outside patio is positively charming and would be amazing on a sunny day. The food is solid. We tried the smoked fish dip which comes with the cutest heart-shaped crackers. It's a good starter. We also tried the Seafood Pasta (lobster, scallops, and shrimp over linguine) and the fresh catch. Everything was very fresh and the portions were huge. You will not leave here hungry. The name of this joint is divey but it's not a joint and it's not a dive. It's a nice restaurant with high quality, fresh seafood. They also offer steaks and other non-seafood dishes. But you're in Key Largo. Eat the seafood. read more

Great lunch! Tried the fish tacos & lobster bisque & both were very good. Staff was friendly & service was very good! This gem is off-the-beaten path but has a great view from this marina spot so totally worth it. Added bonus: we spied 3 manatees while there! read more

Good solid pub food with some local flavor. Decent size portions. From calimari to grouper to sweet potato fries and even a chicken salad quesadilla. Decent wine list and full bar. Friendly attentive servers. Quaint dockside pub with AC inside and a pleasant tented outdoor seating area. Roast beef special on Saturdays was great! read more

This is a nice little restaurant on the water located next to a Marina the view is somewhat skewed, so if you're looking for that unobstructed view of the open water well maybe this one may disappoint. We walked in just before the noon hour and grabbed a seat at the bar and that turned out to be a great choice Steven was tending the bar and he is wonderful in every way, friendly, engaging, efficient and just gives you a sense that you came to the right place. The outdoor area somewhat resembles a TikiBar but appears to only be a covered dining area, I noticed some of the customers were coming up to the bar and getting drinks and taking them back to their seats, a few stated the service outside was a little challenging today - that definitely wasn't the case at the bar. Our drinks were made and delivered immediately after we placed our drink orders while scanning the menu. The bottled beer was ice cold and the strawberry daiquiri I am told was awesome, sitting at the bar also gives the bartender an opportunity to share any over-pours with you (we got a few shots of a frozen mango drink). The food is really good, we opted for a Blackened Mahi sandwich and Blackened Mahi Tacos the fish portions were surprisingly large and the blackened seasoning was perfect - there are lots of choices no matter what you're hungry for, everything I saw coming out of the kitchen looked delicious. The prices were very reasonable and again excellent customer service we were given a key line candy by the hostess upon exiting the restaurant definitely worth bookmarking this one... read more

Saw great reviews so decided to come here for dinner. The place looks super tiny from the front and is tucked away behind some side streets. We chose to sit outside since the weather was super nice and were so glad we did. The views are really pretty and it was nice seeing all the boats go in and out. Our waitress was so nice and very quick. We had the blackened chicken sandwich and the chicken quesadilla. Quesadilla was great but the blackened chicken sandwich was amazing. Perfectly cooked and so flavorful. Probably the best chicken sandwich I've ever had. Will definitely come back here! read more

We found this hidden gem on our ride north, and it was a pleasant end to our Florida Keys vacation. Though it was a little hard to find, it is a great spot right on a canal that does have some great boat traffic. We ate our lunch on the screened porch, which is set a little bit back from the water but still has a peekaboo view. Our server was really pleasant and helpful when it came to suggestions. I do wish we'd taken her up on the Lobster Bites, but we all stuck with simple salads that were delicious. I got the Caesar with Grilled Shrimp; I appreciated that the dressing wasn't overpowering and the cheese was very fresh. I'd definitely go back...the burgers and fries at the table next to us looked SO good! read more
