Grill fish sandwich
Jeffrey G.

This is a great spot by the water. They had a really good band playing some really good classic rock music. The bar didn't have margaritas, thye only had seltzer and beer. The food frome the food truck was awesome. I ordered the grilled fish sandwich and it was very favorable with some good fries. My wife had the lobster roll and really liked it. It was a great spot to spend the evening.

Sails for shade.

What a great place! Dive Bar is exactly how the Keys were 30 years ago! There were no tourists here & I actually knew a lot of people! There was live music (starting at 6pm). The drinks were cold and very affordable. We all got food from the food truck. The bang bang shrimp were a hit. I had the cheesesteak without the bun. It was huge and very tasty with onions and mushrooms! Can't wait to come again!

What a great local place. How can you not go to a place like this? Everyone was super friendly.

I need another beer!

The current iteration is fantastic. Great marina setting with a good blend of live-aboards, locals and folks just passing thru. - Service can be somewhat spotty in the keys...not here. They remembered my name & drink the 2nd time I was in. - Great food (Bites on the Bay food truck) - top notch kickin' shrimp, burgers and fresh fish de jour - Good music & theme nights (trivia, corn-hole, etc) - Uber pet friendly

seating area on the bay + bags

Great ambience and an unbeatable view, my party went here twice because of how much we liked it! I had the kickin shrimp both times and it is a must try! All staff was great and patient with our large group :) would go again anytime I am in the area!

The menu is extensive with any Italian appetizer, pasta, or main dish you could think of. They also have pizza which seems very popular. We both started with a house salad; It was fresh and tasty. For our main course, I had the Spicy Shrimp fra Diavola and my wife had the lasagna. We both commented on the incredible flavor of the pasta itself (mine was served over spaghetti.) I don't ever remember eating at an Italian restaurant where the flavor of the pasta was so memorable. My entree had large gulf shrimp in a spicy marinara sauce. It was noticeably spicy and tasted great. I tasted the lasagna which was also among the best I have had. If you are looking for Italian in the Key Largo area, I highly recommend the Italian Food Co. We stopped back before we left Key Largo. We shared a large house salad and a "meatball panini" (aka, a meatball calzone.). It was great and large; the two of us didn't finish it! To top off the evening we shared an espresso with ice cream. Our second trip not reinforced the first; just go & enjoy!

Never again will they get a penny from me. Photo for posterity. After eating it edit- Tasted like propane or some chemical. Maybe it was an off night, but I will definitely never be back. Can't wait until Dave Portnoy tries it. LOL

Lots of outdoor seating and plenty inside too. Pro tip- wear long pants and bring a light long sleeve top. I get eaten up by mosquitos every time. It's a fun, chill atmosphere. Food: only reason I took a star off is the price has gotten very expensive. 2 entrees, 1 app, 1 mocktail was about $150. The fish dip was sooo good!!!, but again, pricy at $20. I got the fried coconut shrimp basket which comes with a few hush puppies that are pretty large in size and french fries. The taste for all of it was very good. My husband got hog fish w/ rice and veg medley and it was good, he loved the rice, but again pricy at mid $40's. All in all, this is always a great place to come!

Snappers has always been our favorite local spot but recently the prices have been remarkably high…read morefor a casual restaurant. $26.00 for a fish sandwich is a little high, if you ask me! We settled on conch fritters and simple cheeseburger. Burger was $21.00 and was just so-so. Conch fritters were $19.00 but they were excellent. Large portion and actually had conch inside, not just breading. We like to sit at the bar and enjoy the music but it was honestly too rowdy of a band for a 6 pm family crowd. We heard one family ask to be seated inside because the music was too loud. Whatever happened to the nice Island vibe for your music? Bring back some acoustic musicians please.. Tip: Happy hour domestic drafts were $4.50

From the very first moment, our experience at Crooked Palm Cabana was nothing short of exceptional…read more It all began with the sweetest phone call--actually, two of them--answered by Brittany. She was just as warm, pleasant, and knowledgeable on the phone as she was in person. She knew the menu inside and out, and every single recommendation she made was a total hit. And the cherry on top? She was working on her birthday and genuinely seemed happy to be there--her joy was contagious. We came for Sunday brunch around 11:15, and it was perfect. There was plenty of room to relax and be comfortable, the DJ was great, and the ambience was exactly what we were hoping for. The best way I can describe it is an outdoor escape--very upscale Jimmy Buffett vibes--with a separate adjacent outdoor area for kids, which was such a thoughtful touch. That brings me to Jimmy, the bartender. He made me the most delicious Bubble Trouble with fresh grapefruit--absolutely phenomenal. Even though we were seated outdoors away from the bar, Jimmy made a point to personally connect with all the patrons outside. You don't often remember a bartender's name in a setup like that, but he made everyone feel seen, welcomed, and joy-filled. Val was equally wonderful. She brought out our food efficiently, was incredibly friendly, and consistently checked in to make sure we had everything we needed--all with a smile. And finally, the manager, Shane--friendly, attentive, and clearly supportive of his staff. You can feel the positive team energy here, and it truly elevates the entire experience. Crooked Palm Cabana is everything you want when visiting Tavernier--great food, amazing service, beautiful ambience, and genuine hospitality. We can't wait to come back. Highly, highly recommend!

Absolutely great new place in the upper keys to chill out and some good food, good vibes and music…read more Service is top notch. I highly recommend stopping in for a.cold drink, appy or dinner.
