    Fish of the day: mahi-mahi sandwich with fries.
    Cally A.

    A great place for people watching, waterfront view. Lots of activity and a great place to watch & feed the fish near the boats. I ordered a key lime mojito, conch chowder & fish of the day sandwich. Everything was delicious. My friend had the chicken tenders appetizer and it was some of the tastiest fried chicken I've had in a while. She said the ribs were yummy too. Our server had perfect timing with out food. Loved viewing the activities on the dock.

    Island Salad with the biggest cucumbers ever
    Suzanne D.

    We have been coming here for two decades - we even had our rehearsal dinner here. Figured time for a review. This is a Key West staple. It is always fresh and delicious. Our favorites are the coconut shrimp and stuffed shrimp. All of the bartenders are great, but our all time favorite is Doug. He is always friendly and welcoming. Great location and chill music - a solid choice on the island.

    We heard of this place and yes it was good my wife had the pasta and it was good and I had a burger and it was good just a but on the salty side but good. Service was good can't complain super busy at the time we ate but they treated us good though. A bit pricy though to be honest.

    This is a fun and casual place to enjoy great seafood. My husband and I were sitting by the bar. The bartender is super friendly and efficient. He got our drinks right away. Mojito is ok, not too much alcohol, it has more of the syrup. Oysters and shrimps are fresh. The shrimps are quite big and well seasoned. Conch fritters are not greasy and comes with good dipping sauce. Tropical salad comes with good amount of chopped mangoes. I also enjoyed my crab cakes.

    Crab Cakes (appetizer)

    Ate at Conch Republic while on vacation in Key West. This place was recommended to us and was some what disappointing. We arrived in the middle of their happy hour, so naturally the place was packed FYI-There are only certain tables available near the bar & of course the bar itself that you're able to sit for their HH opportunity. We were a party of four and a very nice group offered us their spot as they were leaving. We had to grab it quickly as a few other people were also trying to swoop in! So, we had to clean the table (didn't mind) and set aside their drinks and bill. Then, we waited, waited and waited until FINALLY our server arrived. She did express her gratitude for us having cleared the space. We ordered our drinks and the crab cakes as an appetizer. That didn't take to long. The crab cakes were average. Nothing like my grandmother made being from the east coast! I wasn't impressed with them at all. I had the conch soup, which is suppose to be like a manhattan clam chowder. Luke warm at best. Extremely bland and for $13?! It was not worth the price or portion. Another family member tried the bacon wrapped shrimp and seemed to really enjoy it. Another member in our group had the burger and it was just average. The oysters were delicious, but not hard to mess that up! Over priced for a below average dining experience. Would not be a place we would return. That said, the atmosphere is wonderful and the view from the restaurant (especially in the evening) was lovely.

    I want to be clear that there is no indoor seating (some of the reviews are misleading). The dining area is under a roof and they have a few fans spread out to try to help keep the air flowing but I would not recommend for a hot day. We were a party of 10 and they automatically add a 20% tip (not uncommon in Florida) but I don't think it was deserved as the service had issues. Our waiter, Mike G., was attentive at the beginning however didn't check on us much after we ordered. I would not recommend the Conch Fritters, one person ordered them but when they arrived they were essentially burnt. She told Mike she didn't want them and just asked to return them, but Mike said he didn't know if he could take them off the ticket and had to ask a manager. Instead of removing them as requested he just put in another order for them, and told us while running to attend another table so we didn't have a chance to respond. The conch fritters didn't arrive until after everyone finished eating and were visibly burnt on the outside. Overall the place was okay. However, if you are going to charge automatic tip, make sure your staff lives up to it.

    Key Lime Pina Colada
    Alli C.

    Amazing key lime pina colada! I love a pina colada and this once was next level. Pricey, but so good. Tried the conch fritters as well - I think I may be allergic though I'm not allergic to other shellfish... left feeling itchy and hives, but wa gone in an hour. Won't say the fritters were worth the reaction and happy to pass on those again... a little chewy and would have been happier with a regular hush puppy: Staff at the bar were just fantastic on Thanksgiving day - friendly, smiling and on top of everything!

    Most importantly the food here is delicious, my wife tried the St Kitts pasta and it was very tasty and plentiful. It is enough for two, especially if you have appetizers like we did. We had the baked oysters and they were delicious except the cheese on top wasn't melted. We also had the stone crab claws since they were in season. My wife also had a skinny margarita which she said was watered down and she also tried the rum punch which was much better. For dinner I had the fried Red Snapper and it was also delicious and it also was plentiful. We both took our meals home and it was enough for breakfast the next morning. So our server Heather was really nice, she greeted us with a warm smile and she was very patient and helpful. So lastly that brings me to the rest of the staff and their customer service. I'm disabled and on a scooter and when I asked how to gain access to the building two employees said they didn't know, finally one server pointed me to the ramp. When inside I asked where was the host stand and another two employees just pointed which made me feel like I was bothering them. And the food runner basically threw our food at us. He didn't ask who had what, he just threw our plates at us and never asked who had what. The food is the most important reason to dine here so I would definitely eat here but be mindful of poor customer service.

    Smokehouse Burger
    Josh T.

    Large waterfront restaurant with all open air seating (during nice weather) located on the Marina. Service wasn't bad, but the server wasn't very personable and didn't check back at all during the meal. Our meals were good however the veggies were cold.

    Stuffed Mushrooms Martinique
    Kim S.

    Cool location. Lots of outdoor seating with views of the water. Service was OK at first but after we said we were there for a drink and one appetizer it became distant and curt. The Key Lime mojito was very sweet. The Stuffed Mushroom Martinique was overpriced. $17 for 3 mushrooms. They were tasty but the weird sauce on the side was not good.

    Blackened mahi mahi burger
    Janet D.

    Back again for the seafood and today they had swordfish their fresh catch. Though good, the mahi mahi was the star of the show. I had to drop my review down due to our inattentive server. I had to ask twice for water, she left us hanging after we asked for the check, and my order was not right (please see swordfish pics) in comparison to the mahi mahi burger. Both myself and my hubby ordered blackened dishes (mahi mahi, shrimp and swordfish) but mine looked grilled not blackened and when I questioned the server she told me it was blackened (false!) my husband I both agreed it was not made as requested. That did bring down my review but not enough to warrant a no return.

    Catch of the day mahi sandwich
    Matt C.

    Conch Republic is a popular hot spot in Key West. Waterfront dining, the entire restaurant is essentially a massive covered patio. They have plenty of fans cranking! Fresh seafood is the name of the game when you're down here. Here at Conch Republic, they have a big ole menu filled with fan favorites, specials, and the classics. One of my favorite things to eat when I'm back in Florida is a blackened mahi sandwich. Squeeze of citrus and tartar sauce. Usually served with fries, and washed down with a cold beer. Yuengling preferably! This hit the spot to a T. Our waiter was friendly and funny. The place gets really busy and they would have benefitted for a few more staffers on hand. And keep in mind, lots of birds will join you for your meal...what are you gonna do? Places like Conch Republic exist for a reason. It's like the quintessential Florida style dining experience people expect on vacation. Good vibes all around, would definitely return for some fried seafood!

    Tiki House - A Must Stop KW Vibe We stumbled into Tiki House…read moreright at opening, lured in by their "street talker" promising 2 for 1 beers and wells from 12-3 PM. Who's walking past that? Not us. Inside, it's pure island charm -- rustic tiki décor, laid back energy, and a munchie menu that's perfect for a quick bite. Football season meant TVs everywhere, plus a solo musician on stage (I don't need to hear the game to watch it; music soothes the beast). Enter Mira -- The Tiki Oracle. Bartender, manager, Key West historian, and all around gem. She switched a TV to our game without hesitation and put up with me talking her ear off like a true bartender therapist. We liked it so much we came back the next day, and the vibe was just as good -- friendly, accommodating, and exactly what you hope for in a KW spot. We even dragged the rest of our group over, and they immediately asked why we didn't start there. Tiki House is so Conch Republic vibed it just makes you feel good. I highly recommend it... even though I hate giving away a place this good.

    We had a few birthday celebrations in our group, so we decided to stop into Tiki House for drinks…read moreand a little dancing. The vibe for an early Friday afternoon was really good. The DJ was playing some great music that kept the dance floor going, and the bartender did a solid job keeping up with orders and taking care of everyone quickly. No complaints from our group at all. Everyone had a great time, and we'll definitely be back next time we're in the area.

    I have a sweet tooth, a tremendous sweet tooth indeed, For…read moreice cream and desserts are the things that I need. I've had dessert in the desert near Area 51, And underground in Antarctica, far from the sun. I've had it in graveyards, beneath moonlight so fair, And even in a dessert restaurant, yes, I've had dessert there! At Better Than Sex, the Fever was mine, And it tasted so splendid, so luscious, divine. I tried one of their special coffees as well, And it was so delicious, I nearly swooned under its spell. But the night's grandest moment, the finest display, Was when our waiter arrived with the desserts on a tray. He looked straight in my eyes as he named each delight, With a confidence both curious and wonderfully bright. My dessert was a huge phallus, impressive and grand, With two giant balls resting beneath it in hand. It was covered in "splooge sauce," a curious sweet stream, A dessert of such drama it belonged in a dream! I truly enjoyed this place and would gladly return If I lived nearby, where the sweet candles burn. They are masters of dessert, of flavor and flair-- A deliciously mischievous treasure tucked away there.

    We went to Better Than Sex after eating a full meal at Duffy's right in front, so there wasn't much…read moreroom left in us. But oh man was it amazing. An extremely unique ambience and decoration. But it's not too much or too little. The seating is comfortable and private. Our server was very nice, he checked in at all the right times and was sweet. We only ordered one dessert and it got there promptly. Everything on the menu looked excellent and delicious. We settled on the cookie nookie cake, it was super fresh with many contrasting flavors that made every bite a pleasure. Overall had an amazing time and recommend this place for anything from a late night dessert or a full dessert meal. If we're ever around again, we are definitely going back and trying a lot more than just one dessert.
