The appetizer was excellent, but the main courses were a major disappointment. I was in the mood for a hogfish sandwich, and Hobo Cafe puts its own twist on it with a Parmesan-crusted fish. Unfortunately, the combination didn't work for me. My wife ordered the lobster and shrimp Po' Boy, and we counted only two tiny pieces of lobster and about three and a half shrimp. The sandwich was covered in cheese and lettuce, which seemed to make up for the lack of seafood. The portions and execution were disappointing, especially considering the price. On the positive side, the inside of the restaurant is beautifully decorated and has a really nice atmosphere, which is quite different from the outside. Unfortunately, this was a first and last visit for us. I really wanted to enjoy this place, but the main courses simply didn't deliver.

The texture was perfectly crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside, with just the right touch of coconut flavor. Hands down the best coconut shrimp I've ever had! The waffle fries were also amazing--crispy, golden, and super satisfying. And don't even get me started on the conch fritters... they were so yummy! Flavorful, perfectly cooked, and great with the dipping sauce. The whole atmosphere was laid-back and welcoming, perfect for relaxing by the water with good food. The service was also great! I'll absolutely be back next time I'm in town!

If you're looking for a no-frills place with great food and drinks, Blackwater Siren is definitely worth checking out!

The fries are fine, the dessert is meh at best, the place is small, but none of that really matters because the burger was incredible. My wife also got the chicken sandwich which was excellent as well. The lady inside was super nice; she was the only person on staff so she was very busy but thorough whenever we talked with her. The place is located in a little strip plaza so it's easy to completely miss when you pull in. It's the kind of place you dream about while traveling: a little unremarkable, modest hole in the wall that you could easily walk right by, but has the best food you've ever eaten.

We had a disappointing lunch here…read more We were in the keys specifically to enjoy Florida lobster season which started last week. As we were getting ready to head home, I had read in their ad in the local newspaper that they featured fresh Florida lobster. So I delayed our departure a couple hours just to make sure we stopped here for lunch. The restaurant has an outside bar and patio dining plus inside a/c dining. We chose to sit in the inside. I'd asked the server what Florida lobster dishes they offered and the prices. She said they had two -- lobster bites and a lobster tail. I order the tail with sweet potato fries as my side. When the meal came, I saw that what was delivered was NOT fresh Florida lobster. The manager (?) told me they hadn't pulled the traps yet and didn't have any Florida lobster -- which was strange as it was almost a week into the season and their two ads touted it. Anyhow, he suggested the snapper instead and I chose the coconut yellowtail sandwich from their specials. This was barely edible -- over fried, over cooked, and dried out. I took only a couple bites and coins t even eat the rest. Meanwhile, my husband had ordered the cracked conch appetizer. We've had this all over Florida (he's a native) and in the Carribean. This version was quite different. It had large square pieces of conch in a heavy fried batter. I would not recommend this dish, either.

We had the shishito peppers for an appetizer and then the lamb chops. The bartenders are real pros. One spent a half hour squeezing limes and bottling the juice. I told him he could buy it by the jug but he said it's not the same. They buy bushels of lemons and limes and press them. That's over the top. Watching them constantly cleaning was refreshing. The place is spotless. We can't wait to go back.
