    Views off the dock.

    Such a cool spot. Right on the water, live music, good food, and amazing feeling all around. I would definitely recommend.

    Lobster Roll

    Amazing. So good. The lobster was cold, which was a first for me. I feel like the flavors of the lobster came out more than dousing warm lobster in butter and garlic. Took about 10 minutes for 3 grouper tacos and a lobster roll. Cute areas to sit. Maybe 10-15 tables near the dock.

    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.

    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

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!

It definitely needed salt and the cheese sauce was a little watery. I had the shellfish scallopini as my entree. Again it was lacking in salt and garlic. The shrimp and scallops were over cooked and it was like chewing on rubber. The worst thing was, you waited an extra long time just for your food to be brought to your table after ordering it. I was afraid to order dessert because I thought it would've taken another 45 minutes just for something simple. Don't believe the hype, it is overpriced and the food is not that good.

It is a little tricky to find it, once you find the parking lot, it is super confusing as to where you enter. There are two floors and multiple doors. Finally someone directed us up the stairs and to the back of the building. We were greeted and given menus fairly quickly, but it took an extraordinarily long time to get our food that day. The hollandaise sauce was atypical as it tasted like there was cheese in it. The smoked salmon on a bagel tasted okay, but fell apart when it was picked up. The breakfast burrito lacked a lot of flavor.The blueberry pancake, although slightly overcooked, was actually very good. The bacon and fried potatoes were not crisp, as I prefer them. So if you like crispy bacon and fried potatoes, ask for that when placing your order. The windows and floors are dirty and the women's bathroom had a round hole with a dirty sock stuck in it on the floor. I actually tripped over it. And the bathroom could have been much cleaner. With a few improvements, Sharkeys could be more appealing to tourists going through and visiting the Keys.

One thing you'll notice pretty quickly in the Keys is that many restaurants close fairly early, and this one closes at 10 p.m., so we always make sure to get there in time. I've eaten at both the bar and at a table. This year, since my nephew was with us, we grabbed a table and enjoyed another great meal. My absolute favorite dish here is the fish topped with a generous portion of crab. It is absolutely incredible! Funny enough, years ago I actually ordered the pistachio-crusted fish, but the kitchen accidentally brought me the fish with crab instead. Let's just say I wasn't disappointed by that mistake! On this trip, I finally tried the pistachio-crusted fish, and it was delicious too. My nephew couldn't stop talking about the seafood linguine. It was loaded with seafood, and he absolutely loved it. The atmosphere is one of the best parts of dining here. The waterfront views are beautiful, and you can choose to sit under the tiki hut or kick off your shoes and enjoy the sand beneath your feet. It's such a relaxing place to unwind after a day in the Keys. We've also had the coconut shrimp, which comes with an amazing dipping sauce that I'd definitely recommend. For drinks, I tried their espresso martini for the first time. They add cocoa to it, which I've never seen before. It definitely caught me by surprise, but in a good way. I always enjoy when a bartender puts a creative spin on a classic cocktail instead of making the same version everyone else serves. Between the beautiful setting, delicious food, and laid-back atmosphere, this is a place we look forward to visiting every year.
