Worst sub I've ever had. I knew something was wrong when I was handed my bag and it felt like there was nothing in there. Italian sub. Small, 8inch. Barely any meat at all on it. Plenty of lettuce and tomato tho. Over $15. I'd guess it had $3 worth of ingredients on it, if that. Live and learn I guess. Staff was very friendly tho. read more

So make sure you call in your order to this place. None of our pies were what we thought we ordered when we placed it ONLINE. Pepperoni and mushrooms got dropped from 1 pie, pepperoni got dropped from pie #2 and the Margarita pizza became a cheese pizza. After all that, the pizza was "meh". We ate because we were hungry. They deliver which is nice but they skimped on the plates considering we ordered 3 pies and two salads. Again call in your order, do not place online. Who know what you end up with. read more

DO NOT ASK FOR DELIVERY !!!!! I ordered a pizza and garlic cheese bread from their business on Tuesday, March 11, 2025. I asked for delivery so it went through the Slice Ap. I received two phone calls from the delivery person, however when I answered, no one replied and the phone call ended as if the delivery person hung up. I called the number back and although the call went through, there was no response from the driver. My husband waited at the marina entrance for over an hour and said no delivery car entered. When I called Driftwood to see where my order was, I was told that they tried to deliver and then tried to call me twice. When they weren't successful, they took the order back to the business. I asked for a refund and was rudely told no since they tried to deliver and attempted to call me twice. I have contacted both Driftwood Pizza again and Slice to complain regarding this matter. Still no refund. read more

We were staying at a close by resort and had a taste for some pizza. We had driven by here earlier in the day and figured that we'd give it a try. We called in and ordered the driftwood special minus mushrooms for delivery. We were given a 45 minute eta but it arrived sooner than that. The delivery driver was super nice and the pizza was hot and the 2 liter we ordered ice cold. The pizza was good, plenty of toppings. It was crispy and cooked well. It was just what we wanted so it hit the spot. Kinda pricey for a 14 inch so I took off a star for that. read more

The pizzas had most of the toppings in the center with at least 2 inches of bubbles and no sauce area after it. Not sure what all these reviews are with rave reviews.

We come to the Keys every 3-5 years. Driftwood Pizza is in our meal plans each time. The pizza has a delicious, chewy crust. They out plenty of toppings on each pie. An added plus, this pizza is just as good as a cold leftover the next day. My kids had pasta for dinner. The order was a generous portion of noodles, sauce, and meatballs. The marinara and meat sauce are equally good. It would be down to a personal preference when it comes to picking a sauce. Finally, we had to add an order of garlic knots. Theirs are baked to perfection. They have a crispy outside with just enough chew on the inside. Paired with their marinara for dipping made this a fantastic appetizer to our meal. read more

Herbie's Bar & Chowder House in Marathon has been operating under that name since 1963, with roots…read moregoing back to the 1940s as Maggie's Chowder House and later Fishnet's. It's legitimately one of the oldest continuously operating restaurants in the Florida Keys, which gives it a lot of built-in credibility before you even sit down. Walking up to it, you feel that history. The exterior, the gravel lot, the signage--it's pure roadside Keys. Inside, it leans into that "local bar meets tourist stop" vibe: long wooden bar, TVs, stickers everywhere, taps lined up. Then you open the menu and it pivots in every direction--New England chowder house, BBQ joint, burger shack, seafood spot. It's not clear what it wants to be, and that lack of focus carries straight through to the food. We started with both chowders. The clam chowder looks right at first glance, but the texture tells you everything--thick, almost gluey, clearly roux-heavy. The flavor leans aggressively fatty, closer to margarine than butter, with very little clam presence. No briny backbone, no pepper, no lift. We ended up dumping in black pepper and hot sauce just to make it remotely acceptable--but even then, that heavy fat note kept pushing through. Nothing about it reads as New England. The conch chowder fares a bit better. You can actually see a decent amount of conch, and there's a peppery edge that helps. But the broth is thin and lacks the chunky, stewed tomato depth you expect from a proper Keys-style conch chowder. After having it done right earlier at Key Largo Fisheries, the difference was obvious. Then there are the Texas Twinkies--and the photo really says it all. On paper, this should work: jalapeños wrapped in bacon, stuffed with brisket, pulled pork, cheeses, and sauce. In execution, it's just too much. Too much cream cheese, too many competing sauces, meats chopped into a soft, indistinct filling. It collapses into a heavy, muddy bite that feels more overwhelming than satisfying. Looking back at the menu, the simpler move--burger, ribs, even wings--probably would have been the right call. Instead, we ordered straight into the identity crisis. And that theory held up. We went back and grabbed a burger later--cooked a proper medium rare, with well-done, crispy fries--and it was easily the best thing we had from them. I wanted to like Herbie's. There's history, personality, and clearly a loyal following. But between the confused concept and uneven execution, the move here is simple: stick to the basics.
