I found this restaurant using yelp when I was in Key Largo last week. I liked the restaurant. Had the chicken breast sandwich with cole slaw and it was delicious. Needed to use a fork and knife to eat it due to the ingredients on top. My wife had clams and Mahi Mahi, which she enjoyed. The clams were the best she ever had. Décor not fancy, but the waitress was polite even though she was busy. Price was very reasonable. read more

This had to be the best food me and my family had ever had in our life! We were seated immediately and my glass was never empty due to the nice waitress constantly filling it! The seafood there is to die for, and even the non seafood is amazing; I had the best chicken of my life there! The portions are perfect enough that you have just enough room for dessert: in my case Key Lime Pie, it was the smoothed most perfect one I've ever had, and the sweetness level was amazing! The bathrooms were clean, the temperature was perfect, and lastly there was indoor/outdoor seating. If you visit Key Largo without going here your missing out. read more

Food was excellent. The sesame ahi tuna was out of this world. Spinach dip was a family favorite. Kids had Philly Cheese Steak and Mac n Cheese was tops. But the most amazing part was the Candy Apple Crunch pie with vanilla ice cream and Key Lime Pie. Everyone was scraping the plates for more. Ashley our server was great and made the experience more enjoyable! read more

We stopped here as a recommendation from fellow yelpers. Had some appetizers and beers. Their shrimp avocado soup was really good. We tried the bruschetta which was shrimp and served warm. A little different but would recommend if you want to try something new. Our server was very friendly and helped us pinpoint some good drink and food options. Only downside is their back patio doesn't have a view...juat looked at a garage. read more

I stop at Hobo's ever time I stay or pass through Key Largo. Never had a bad meal. The Yellowtail and Hogfish is amazing.

Everything about Hobo's Cafe was good from the time we stepped in to the time we stepped out. I had been here with 3 friends and was seated outside. Since it was still start of summer, the nice weather added to the pretty good ambience at the cafe. One of our friends is vegetarian and we ordered the seafood penne pasta minus the fish. Though they took out the fish, the pasta was excellent and set the benchmark for rest of the food to come. We had the nachos with garlic and spinach dip and seafood sampler. Both were pretty good. The keywest beer was also good and the hobos brewed beer, though light was refreshingly nice. To end it, we ordered the death by chocolate and chocolate peanut butter pastries. All this and a nice experience at the cafe was not at all expensive. The service was pretty good too just like anything else there. A must visit cafe when in Key Largo if you are looking for a good time with good food. read more

We stopped here on our way to Marathon Key. Food was fabulous service was great! Ask for Tammy she is hilarious!

Right after Irma, we needed a rest from clean-up. Staff was friendly and food was great. We had a variety of items. We continued to return over the last 2 months and have yet to be disappointed. Portions are generous. read more

5 stars isn't enough, great food, great atmosphere. Well worth the stop. Huge portions and great local beers on tap

Conch fritters were great. The Hobo fish sandwich (blackened) was awesome!! Prices were right. It was a great meal! We will be back.

Surprising find for an unexceptional roadside joint. Apps and Mahi quesadilla were tasty. Don't drink the house brew!!!

Nice restaurant very good service and the food was very good. Try the Lobster sandwich.

Fantastic service by Liz! Short weekend trip to key largo. This place runs like a well oiled machine. Attentive owner, clean, fresh food, and friendly people. Try thr hobo sandwich. Yummy! read more

Group of 5, around 7 pm on a Friday night and we only waited about 20 min for our table. The place is pretty small but the food was good! I got the pasta and my father got the stuffed shrimp and he said he absolutely loved it... The brownie for desert is worth it too. read more

Not what I was expecting given the large menu and type of fare that I viewed on Yelp. Turns out to be yet another mom-and-pop establishment along Overseas Highway (Rt 1) in Key Largo: fairly small and very informal - basically a sports bar. But the menu was for real and the food and service were quite good, and the atmosphere is pleasant. Prices were quite reasonable. The parking lot is small, as is typical in the area, and requires some care when maneuvering. And like other businesses on Rt 1, you have to be alert to find it: their sign is more visible than most, but the mile markers are literally a mile apart and not always easy to spot, and Google and Apple Maps tend to get the remaining distance a bit off when approaching the destination. read more

Perfect for lunch. Great food, great wait staff, and we enjoyed the terrace, where our kids could wander a bit.

Just adding to the other rave reviews. I had the fish quesadilla (with Mahi Mahi). Finished with the key lime pie, which had key lime white chocolate feet on top of it. Great presentation too. read more

Delicious mahi mahi sandwich, plus a tasty side of creamed spinach. So good, I returned the following evening and enjoyed the same meal once again before departing Key Largo. Meals were served hot, with attentive and friendly service. Definitely recommend! read more

Top notch food and service at Hobo's! Get here at happy hour for some of the best wings in the Keys! They also have happy hour specials on clams, peel-and-eat shrimp, and beer of course. Great place to catch a game as well. The servers are great at tending to customers, and always keep your drink full at all times. Will be back again! read more

This Place Rocks. I ordered the Mahi quesadillas and they were amazing. So full of Mahi each one was like eating a Mahi sandwich. Just cooked to perfection . I also ordered the onion ring loaf and it was seriously big enough for 6 people and delicious. Prices are very reasonable and the service is excellent. This is a must if you are in Key Largo. Warning you might be in a food coma once you leave. read more

This is a great place for casual dining. Staff is super friendly and attentive. Food was great, generous portions, and delicious desserts! We also love the Coral Reef video! read more

I would say this place is missing what it takes to provide customers what they ordered. The waitress lacked ability to bring us what we ordered even after repeating it back to us. Her response twice was "I didn't get that" when she missed two items. For example one of us ordered a Coke which didn't arrive until it was requested a second time. Next us ladies at the end of the table of 5 ordered the evening special gator appetizer at a very expensive over $15 which didn't arrive to our table at all. The waitress didn't check in before the meal arrived so we could ask where our appetizer was but another gentleman at the table who ordered his appetizer far later then when we ordered got his. The individual who delivered the other appetizer did it so quickly I didn't have the opportunity to ask where our appetizer was? I guess the "food runner" were truly runners! They never stopped. They offered to put it in when we asked where it was as everyone was getting their meals. I don't want my appetizer to be my dessert? What almost offended me was they gave me $4.00 and some cents off for not providing the appetizer we ordered which is less than half of what I would have tipped the waitress if the order was correct and included the appetizer. Another thing I found interesting was i ordered the catch of the day stuffed at $22.95 which included a side. But realized when I received my meal it didn't include a Vegetable along with the side. For the $$$ to me it should have included a nice vegetable along with the side. Plus, the actual catch of the day was a very small portion on Mahi-Mahi with a ton of stuffing put between two small pieces of Mahi-Mahi. So not truly stuffed just 2 ounces of fish a ton of stuffing slapped on the plate than on the other side another 2 ounces of Mahi-Mahi. It's very disappointing when your first bite of a stuffed fish is all stuffing when you realize they don't truly provide a stuffed filet of fish for an astonishing $22.95 There wasn't even fish below the stuffing in the center! Also, we all had our payment ready and she came and got just 1 payment processed it and then came back and got the other 4 payments. I guess efficiency is just not this restaurants forte. I wanted my receipt after I received my cash change but never was able to get it because she didn't come back to the table after she dropped off the payments to us which she couldn't get correct either. I received two other people's credit cards before I received my cash change back and that was after it was handed to me from another guest at the table! She said well maybe 3 times is a charm. Ack! Can't even deliver the food nor the checks correctly. Give me a break do I really look like a Rob! I will not be returning tonight to finally try the gator appetizer that was never delivered. Loss of business! read more

Great service, great food. When I was a kid we would go to the original Hobo's and now I take my friends to the current location. This place is one of the few places in the Keys where you'll find the locals enjoying their evenings. read more

This place is wonderful. The staff was friendly and attentive without being intrusive. The burger was very very good and the other items we got were great. Pricy for lunch but to be expected in area. Will be back. read more

If you haven't gone to Hobo's Cafe yet in Islamorada, you have to go. Very cozy little place wth a nice patio. Great local brewed beer and the menu is excellent. The best Hog Snapper I've ever had. The staff is very courteous and attentative and the prices are very competitive for the area. You have to try the Key Lime Pie info a jar. read more

It wasn't as good as the Yelp reviews that got me to check it out. Everything was pretty average.

Great food. Great service clean restrooms. Would definitely return. Lobster sandwich, seared tuna and wedge salad was as good as you'll find. read more

Went there because of the reviews...was a little disappointed. The food was just OK; nothing special at all. The service was very nice, though. I'm sure there are better places to go for lunch in Key Largo... read more

Came to eat with 13 people and they were very accommodating. The table took about half an hour but that was OK, it was well worth it. The food came out very quickly and all orders came out right. No complaints here, good food great service! read more

Worst meal I've had in the keys. Ordered the Tuna Nachos and the tuna was not what I would call sushi grade. I ordered the MM101 sandwich and the fish was dry and not very well seasoned. Also the bun on the bottom was soggy with sauce that had spilled all over the plate. My wife ordered the Cobb salad and it was "okay" but not worth the price. My son ordered steak off the kids menu and he loves steak. It was so dry he couldn't eat it. The service was bad... we didn't see our waitress to tell her about my sons steak while something could still be done about it. We must have waited 15 minutes and finally had to flag a different waitress down to get our check. They did knock the steak off the bill and give my son a key lime pie in a jar which he thoroughly enjoyed... so my two stars are primarily for that gesture and for the pie. Won't be back though. read more

The Hogfish was killer and my wife enjoyed a Lobster Rueben, didn't order any drinks though it was worth it!

Food here was very good. My wife and I had the coconut crusted mahi and it was excellent. The service is quick and attentive. For desert we had their key lime pie and it was also very good. The prices here are reasonable for the Keys. The restaurant itself is clean and the menu is fairly large. We also had the calamari which was good, but a little greasy. The sauce served with it was meat sauce not marinara, but it was so good, we got an order of spagetti and meat sauce to go! Will definitely stop here again! read more

Good dinner, good coffee. Great pie! Good service. Quiet. All for $10 less per than The Fish House up the street. Great find thanks to Yelp. From a picky patron. read more

The food was fantastic. I had the catch of the day baked and topped with a Greek scampi. It was delicious. Great place. The customer service was top notch. read more

Great food and really nice service! Delicious fish sandwiches!

We had a great meal here with fresh fish and good service. I recommend the buffalo shrimp appetizer. Atmosphere is casual with Formica tables and lots of TVs. But it felt more real and less touristy than other places. The rum cake for dessert was great. read more

Angie was our server and she was VERY attentive and amazing!!! We ordered the hobo fish sandwich it was delicious!! Love the crisscut fries or sweet potato fry option.. We will definitely be coming back!! read more

Ate here on Sunday for a late lunch. Our waitress, Dawn, was exceptional. The service was also exceptional. We had the seafood bisque which was great and we all had fish sandwiches. Dawn explained the menu as well as a lunch special menu and our drink cups never went below a quarter full. This is my go to lunch place. You are treated equally whether a tourist for a local. read more

Food was very good and quick service. I got the key lime fish sandwich and it was awesome. Also you must try the key lime in a jar very good. read more

Highly recommended. Fresh seafood, clean restaurant and friendly service. Looking forward to coming back the next time we're in the Keys.
