Jake F.

Such a cool spot. Lots of character and the food was great. Good prices and the service was fast. Got the grouper po' boy and it was so much food in the best way. The seasoned fries were also fantastic!

Homemade key lime pie

My wife and I have visited 49 states. You know a restaurant is great when you visit 2 times in 3 days. We've done that only three other times. 36 beers/ciders to choose from. I had the chocolate Stout both days. My wife had a couple different sours. I was told at our hotel how great the chowder is. OMG!!! Top 3, ever!! The first time, I had the fish (mahi) and chips. My wife had it the second time. Excellent! Perfectly cooked. My wife had the mahi sandwich the first visit. Home cut fries. Excellent tartar sauce. The second time, I had the shrimp basket. They hand bread them. For desert: The first time we had the s'mores dip and the second time, real homemade key lime pie. Everything was great! Cool vibe. Excellent service!! If we lived in the area, this would be a weekly visit.

Pretzels were amazing

This was the perfect lunch! The set up is a bit confusing-- there are two indoor seating areas (each with their own bar) and a third outdoor patio, though each is accessed from separate doors. Door #2 had a host who told us we could sit on the patio behind door #1, but when we got there, someone was standing and waiting for the table to be cleaned. We ended up choosing door #3 that had an open table by a window. As far as food, they should really highlight the chicken and smashed potatoes on the menu as a signature item! Guy Fieri featured it on his show "Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives." I learned this tidbit after seeing the signed steel sheet pan hanging above the bar and googling the episode to see what he ate. It was good luck on my part, as almost ordered the brisket, but I saw mixed reviews and went with the chicken instead. In short, it was awesome -- a colossal mountain of chicken on a smashed baked potato and green beans, then covered in gravy. I loved every bite! My wife had a Mahi reuben (delicious) and my kids each had a grilled chicken sandwich with fries (both approved). And I can't forget... we also had an order of pretzels. They were soft, buttery delicious-ness and the pub cheese was incredible too. Thanks for a great lunch!

Conch Chowder
Adam R.

This place was great! We started with the conch chowder and normally I don't like red chowder, but this one was really good! It was recommended over the fritters especially if you're trying Kong with the first time like we were. They have a great selection of beers on tap as well as sites as their sign claims! They even offer small taster sizes, which I was excited and did because I wanted to try several different kinds! Normally, with this weather, I'd want a light beer, but a couple of the dark beers sounded delicious and it turns out they were, but I was still able to finish the light beer and not be too crazy. For our mains, I had the fish and chips and their special for the day was Moco Loco, which I think is kind of funny because it's actually loco Moco, and since it's not actual traditional loco Moco from Hawaii, I wonder if that's their way of softening appropriation. Either way, both dishes were delicious! The fries are great, the fish flaky and loved the tartar sauce! To finish I had to try the Keylime pie since they make it in the house! It's certainly tart, but I loved it. They have three different options for seating. You can sit in the backyard, a fenced in patio and inside in the air conditioning yourself choose. Service was fast and friendly, no complaints at all and highly recommend.

Everywhere in the Keys tends to serve up a similar style of food, but Herbie's really stands out by adding their own twist. The poutine brisket fries were exceptional, rich, hearty, and packed with flavor. The shrimp tacos were fresh and flavorful, and the shrimp themselves were absolutely massive (definitely not your average taco shrimp!). Even the kids' sliders were juicy and cooked to perfection... no cutting corners here. The atmosphere is casual and welcoming, and the food feels both unique and comforting at the same time. If you're looking for something beyond the standard Keys fare, Herbie's is definitely worth a stop.

Special

Herbie's is always a must stop in the Keys. We tried the hot honey shrimp app and it was really crispy and flavorful. The chicken and smashed potato is always sooo good. I tried the Asian tacos and they were ok. Last time I came they had a Cobia special w coconut rice and green beans and it was one of the best fish dishes I've had, hope that comes back one day!

Booked a weekend trip to the Keys and saw Herbie's on Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives had to stop. I sat outside under the covered patio and ordered the mahi Reuben and conch chowder. The bartender was super welcoming and said the Reuben's been so popular, they're adding it to the regular menu. I love a classic Reuben, but this mahi version? Absolutely hit. Chowder was meaty and flavorful, and the fries were crispy and seasoned just right. So glad I made the stop!

Spicy chicken sandwich and redneck sandwhich
Tina C.

Amazing customer service from Sacha, very professional and friendly. Food was fresh, flavorful, and all around amazing! Would recommend giving this place a go!

Conch Fritters
Jasper S.

Good casual spot to try conch chowder and conch fritters. The conch chowder was great, it tasted similar to cioppino and was tomato based. The conch fritters were full of flavor and had a good amount of conch.

Poutine
Brandon H.

Went to Herbie's for our last dinner out while in the Keys and it did not disappoint. A bit tricky figuring out where to go as there are technically 3 entrances, but on everyone was nice and helpful. We decided to sit on the back patio which was perfect for the kids as they have cornhole, giant Jenga, giant Connect Four and a few other backyard games. Poutine was amazing and our meals were very good. A must try if you are in or near Marathon, FL.

Where we were staying, we met these lovely ladies out at the pool, and we got to talking quite a bit. They had mentioned this place and a deep fried key lime... so... it definitely piqued our interest and off we went. When we first arrived, I wasn't sure if we were going to the right place. It felt like it was off the beaten path, but we did eventually find our way to the parking lot. We walked upstairs to the terrace and took a look around at the view. It was just before sunset, and we watched a boat or two swing by and tie up on the dock below for some chow. That's pretty cool. The menu style is somewhat American traditional, where you would find a variety of burgers, fries, sandwiches, and some dinner plates. They served several types of meats from beef, chicken, fish, shrimp, you name it. We decided to go pub style and ordered the Fresh Cut Fries plate, with a Chicken Burger. We also ordered a Patty Melt Sandwich. The chicken burger had the perfect crunch, and it just hit right. The patty melt smothered in onion and sauce made it very tender and juicy. My wife and I split each other's meals to taste it all. As we enjoyed a couple of drinks, we were able to take advantage of the sunset and walked the dock for some pictures, although, I was staring at a beautiful view across from me all evening. We finished off the meal with one of their famous Deep fried Key Lime Pie... and I swear... that might have been the 2nd or 3rd most beautiful thing I've seen that evening. If you never had a KLP deep fried... oh my Goodness you are in for a treat!! We decided to split one, and it's every bit as good as you would think it to be!! Thank you for that experience, and for the whole evening. We are leaving FL with amazing memories! Absolutely recommend you try this place and for us, an easy return should we ever find ourselves back on the Keys again. As always, Enjoy & Happy Eating!

Stopped in here for breakfast and ordered at the bar; seafood omelette. Eggs was done well incorporating spinach; mushrooms and smoked salmon. Unfortunately no other fish options were available. Waffles and grits to go with it, orange juice to keep it all down. Taste was not too bad. Portions were good. Services were quick and prices are little more than I expected.. it's spring break so it ok. Would I choose to return maybe.. especially if to order a mahi sandwich for lunch. Keep expectations low and you can have a good experience it's my new Floriduh moto.

Jorge, our waiter was welcoming, friendly, and patient - impressive given the size of our party. We did make a reservation in advance due to having a larger group.

They have numerous menu options sure to satisfy any group. Everyone in our party enjoyed what they ordered. We recommend this restaurant to others!

The parking lot at the steak and lobster house had several cars at this time, so we figured this was a good sign. Didn't try the cocktails, but did order 1/2 lb peel and eat shrimp from the happy hour menu, and they were delicious - 6 giant shrimp for a great happy hour price! We had the grilled brie; didn't care for the crackers and the berry compote was just okay, but the brie was lovely and the presentation was beautiful. Philly cheesesteak sandwich was loaded with steak and peppers, and the queso-style cheese was a nice variation from the "traditional" Philly. Blue crab burger was very tasty with a large crab cake and the sauce was really good. Our waitress was very friendly and attentive, we did not have to wait for drink refills and she was helpful with menu questions. I generally don't eat at the same place twice while I'm on vacation, but may make an exception for the FL Keys Steak and Lobster house. Will definitely be recommending this place to all my traveling friends!
