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.

French fries and a dog

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

This restaurant is within walking distance of the Pelican, where we always stay when visiting the…read moreKeys, so it's one of our favorite dinner spots. 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.

I really wanted to love Snook's, which is exactly why this one is so disappointing…read more The moment we arrived, I fell in love with the place. The music, cleanliness, design, waterfront atmosphere, and overall vibe were fantastic. It felt current, fun, polished, and honestly looked like it had everything needed to become one of our favorite stops in the Keys. Unfortunately, the service completely changed the experience. Our server was very kind, but also extremely forgetful and distracted/his head was somewhere else from the beginning. Waters came out, we were told the kids special, and my parents advised our water what meals that my niece and nephew would want. My mother and sister were the. asked for adult drink orders, but my father and I were never asked what we wanted. About 13 minutes later two drinks finally arrived and another 15 minutes later both kids' entrées arrived even though the rest of us had not even ordered appetizers or our meals yet. It was just very awkward having the kids eating while the adults were still waiting to place orders, let alone the appetizers. At that point, with the waters lack of organization and delay, we decided not to order adult entrées. We boxed up the kids' shrimp Alfredo, had two Long Island iced teas and two appetizers, and the bill still came in just shy of $200 with gratuity automatically added for our party of six, which included two children (which would be fine I feel if we spent more than 45 minutes here, without any delay or issues on the restaurants end) The food we did receive was, okay, standard to say the least, but we never really got the opportunity to experience the restaurant the way we had planned because the service flow was so disconnected. I genuinely try to give people the benefit of the doubt. Maybe it was a first day, maybe it was an off day, maybe something personal was going on. We are all human. The server was never rude, and this is not meant as an attack on him. That is what makes this review more disappointing than angry. The atmosphere was so good that I honestly thought this could become one of our top restaurants after vacationing in the Florida Keys every year for the past 10 years. If the service had matched the ambience, we probably would have added Snook's to our yearly itinerary regardless of the price. The issues we experienced seem very fixable with better communication, pacing, and attention to the table (we could see the water standing and lounging in-between the 2/3 times he stopped be the table). I really hope they tighten these up because this place has so much potential. Younger staff is great imho, however they are old enough to know better and do better. Especially working at a quality waterfront restaurant. Maybe we will give it another shot someday, but after this visit, It would have to be a last option for us to do so.
