[[HIGHLIGHT]]I wanted to take a photo of the beautiful scenery, however I was stopped by a waitress and advised that I could not walk through a perfectly cleared area to take it.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I advised her that I was a customer at this restaurant yet she insisted I could not walk through. Sometimes there are no words for the ridiculous and rude behavior of others. Will not be a patron at this restaurant again. Terrible. Just terrible. Had I been able to take the photo this review would have been different. read more

Hungry Tarpon Restaurant - View from bar area - Seafood Near Me - Islamorada, Florida

We figured when we stopped that this was just atourist trap and the food would be mid. It was anything but! I splurged and ordered a Trailer Trash Bloody Mary. Don't kid yourself - this is an appetizer in itself. Our server, Sherry, made some recommendations and we decided to split an order of coconut shrimp. Holy cow! It was so good - fresh, large shrimp perfectly cooked. Sorry, but I didn't remember to take a pic until it was half gone. You can't get better ambiance than sitting by the water, watching the gulls and the water. We would happily return. read more

The little dock you can go feed tarpon from is a nice addition to the family atmosphere. Food is amazing. Everyone is super friendly. Our waiter was having a bit of a tuff night but he figured it out by the end. The serving staff and clean up staff were on it though and helped pick up his slack. The corvina ceviche was amazing. As well as conch fritters. Coconut shrimp, pan fried corvina, mahi mahi tacos and hamburger were all outstanding. read more

Great versatile menu and food. Able to offer lots of gluten free options and vegetarian/pescatarian options too. Staff was super kind & guided us toward the cooler tables. Food was flavorful and well priced. read more

Food was good it was busy I had the mahi fish tacos they had great flavors. My wife had the tuna sliders I wasn't a fan but she liked them. Of course this place is surrounded by shops and you can feed the tarpon for a fee which was neat. Cool place to stop for a meal and some entertainment. read more

Such a great place. The views are extraordinary! There is outdoor seating and some indoor space, as well. This entire location is like a shopping village and a restaurant, as well as a coffee/ice cream trailer. It reminded me of South of the Border along 95, but with better merchandise and a tropical vibe. It's a great place to stop. You can feed fish and see pelicans too. There is ample parking, but this is a busy place. Ricky was our server and she was fantastic. Very friendly and very knowledgeable of the menu. She was super busy but never made us feel rushed. The food & drinks were FABULOUS!!! Get the trailer trash bloody!! So good. Everything that was ordered was amazing. Several different types of fish sandwiches were ordered, conch fritters, and sweet potato fries - all delicious. It is incredibly delicious and fresh. It was amazing that every single thing we ordered was just fantastic. Great place to stretch your legs, shop, get terrific food and just chill! read more

My beautiful wife & I tried the Hungry Tarpon this evening. Overall it was good. Service was fast & friendly. The food came out very quickly & hot. We had an appetizer of fried Mac & cheese which went very well taste wise with the marina sauce. My wife got the hummus platter which was overall good but could have used more garlic & lemon. I got the fish & chips. It was decent but not great. The fries were fine, the fish was ordinary not bad but nothing to rave about. My wife however gave VERY high marks to the coleslaw. She is a connoisseur of this item & really enjoyed it. We liked it but didn't love it hence the 4 stars. read more

We've been coming to The Hungry Tarpon for over 15 years, and it has always been one of our must-stop spots -- especially for the Thai Mahi Fingers. Unfortunately, over the past two years, the quality has gone downhill, and it's really disappointing to see such a longtime favorite change for the worse. The Thai Mahi Fingers used to be amazing -- perfectly cooked, flavorful, and served with enough of that incredible sauce to dip every piece. Now, not only are the portions smaller ($19 for just 4 fingers when it used to be 6-7), but the sauce has been watered down significantly. When I asked for an extra side of sauce, I realized they're actually mixing it with water. For a place that does as much business as they do, there's no reason to cut corners like this. The sauces are what made the dish, and without them, it's just not the same. Some things should never change, and this was one of them. Sadly, the value and quality just aren't there anymore. The server was amazing, loved her. I can't speak to much on the atmosphere as they moved all the tables under a shelter so we have no view of the water. Unfortunately we will not be back here. read more

Not worth the money or the wait. We stopped in based on recommendations and tried their crispy grouper sandwich. To say it was average is a compliment. It was over cooked and one side was so thin, that must be where the "crispy" part of the name comes from because it was inedible. My wife and I split the sandwich and ceviche and just those two items took over an hour to get. After the long wait, I can't even say the food was worth it. Definitely tourist trap and not worth the money or the time. If you want seafood, head a little farther down the road and there are much better options. read more

Food was very mid but feeding the tarpon and nurse shark was pretty cool (look out for the seagulls - illegal to feed them too). You pay 5$ for about 5 fish to feed the tarpon and then $2.50 entry charge. Food is also pretty expensive for how it tasted (got the ribs which were okay, and the ceaser wrap and chicken sandwich fried- both had no flavor). [[HIGHLIGHT]]Also be aware that we came on a Sunday and it was SUPER busy and crowded.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The area of the restaurant has a bunch of other stores and amenities too. I'd say come here for the experience, not food. read more

Robbie's Islamorada 5-1-25 When we are in the Keys we must stop by Robbie's. This place is a true Keys wonder. Lots of items for sale and tons of things to do. You can Fish, Rent Kayaks, Rent Paddle Board, or Rent Boats. You book a ride on a Glass Bottom Boat, Jet Skies or Eco Tours. You can go scuba Diving, Snorkeling, or a Sunset Cruise. You can feed the Tarpon at thew docks or eat in the Hungry Tarpon Restaurant overlooking the Harbor or just plain Shop at all the little buildings on the property. There is just so much to do and see no wonder this place was voted #1 for tourist to visit. We go there early on Friday morning around 10ish. This place was already hopping with lot of people. We decided to get breakfast at the Hungry Tarpon Restaurant as it was too early for lunch. I ordered 2 eggs, Home Fries, Sausage and Toast. My wife ordered 2 Eggs, Home Fries, Bacon, and Toast. My dad order 2 blueberry Pancakes. Our order came out fast and it looked very good. All our eggs were done just like we wanted them and the Hash Bowns were even good. My dad stated these were the best Pancakes in the Keys. All our food was hot and every tasty. Our waitress kept checking on us to see if we needed anything else. Only negative was when we went to pay the bill somehow the internet was down, and it took a long time until they could take our cash for payment. I would give Robbie's 5 out of 5 stars simply because this place is so cool, and the food is not that bad. After we were done eating, we went over to feed the Tarpon which is a little charge for the fish food then on to shopping for the wife. Follow Me On FB For More Reviews & Fun.

Hungry Tarpon truly welcomes you into the Keys. Great spot overlooking the Gulf and the tarpon feeding on the marina. It's a fun mix of watching tarpon flying out of the water and pelicans going for the gold. Perfect place to start off the day with a Trailer Trash Bloody Mary. This was the best Bloody Mary I've had in all of Florida -- Savannah, GA coming in a close 2nd. It was topped with a succulent shrimp, sausage, bacon, 3 olives, and a hearty stalk of celery. I went with the Blackened Mahi Reuben -- a fresh and generous portion of Mahi topped with Swiss cheese. 1000 island, and coleslaw on griddled rye. They made it legendary! After lunch, we got a bucket of fish to feed the tarpon. Hold onto your buckets! The pelicans eyeballed them and will get those fish! This was an unforgettable early lunch before the trip to Key West. read more

Not really a big fan of those place. Thought we would give it a try since it was a cozy area area just right off the bridge of the main route. Good luck finding parking. Had to park alongside the bridge all the way almost to the entrance. So I thought that was a good sign to a certain extent because of so many people coming there. We ate outside and it was windy. Not their fault, but that's OK. Our table that we sat at had food bits all over. So we asked the server to please wipe it down. Our server only checked on us once once the Food came out. That was it. Had the lobster bisque and it was lukewarm to almost cold. Wife's mahi-mahi tacos were decent. Again the fish was kind of cold. My son and I had the seafood jambalaya. It was under seasoned and again, the food was cold. So for the cost, not being checked on, and eating a cold food, we give it two stars. Also the bathroom is off the way. And it was absolutely disgusting. I don't even wanna go there, but if you can hold it, go to the bathroom before you get there. And bring hand sanitizer. You're gonna need a lot of of it. Not a big fan of those places as you can tell. Look elsewhere. Unless if you want to feed the tarpon's. Then be my guest. read more
