Jambalaya - Shrimp, chicken, andouille sausage, bell peppers, onion, celery and tomato over rice
John R.

Came here to get fresh catch cooked up. We asked for it blackened and more blackened. The more blackened was the favorite for the entire group, but both were great. For my main course, I had the Jambalaya - Shrimp, chicken, andouille sausage, bell peppers, onion, celery and tomato over rice, which was awesome. For Jambalaya this one wasn't too dry, and the spice level was perfect. Dessert was Key Lime Pie. Does it beat Kermit's? Well, I guess you will need to try and decide for yourself. I still prefer Kermit's but others were mixed on their favorites. The place itself has a friendly feel to it. Yes, it is part of a marina, but for the most part, once you go through the restaurant entrance, you are in a different outside world. There are covered areas too if needed.

Marina is super cute and has a bar and restaurant. You can rent boats, jet skis, kayak,and paddleboard here. You can even have a guided tour. Your right in the marina that leads out directly to the ocean. Four legged friends are allowed on all re tals as well so bring them along.

On our way to our next destination and saw this place has high ratings on Yelp and will accommodate the dog. Perfect! We were seated right on the water. Was so nice to see the boars and enjoy the sunshine. Excellent food. Great service too. The restaurant has earned all those five stars! Highly recommend

Conch fritters

Wow!!!! From the happy hour, to the conch fritters, fresh yellowtail snapper and key lime pie - all AMAZING!!! Great little hole in the wall with the best food and service! Michelle, our server was great - gave us excellent suggestions and sold us on the pie - best on the island!

Amazing food - super fresh and great service! Ver enjoyable outside seating next to docks where you can enjoy the wildlife.

This dockside outdoor restaurant is shaded and casual. The service and food were excellent. The Fresh Catch Ruben was generous and delicious. Good prices and refreshing bar drinks. The pet friendly shaded patio was perfect.

Cook your catch - lionfish & Hogfish , grilled, blackened, Panko.

Hurricane Hole always has solid food, and great outdoor atmosphere. Right overlooking the water, you can always see tarpon swimming in the marina and often times manatees while you're eating your lunch or dinner. They have a great happy hour 4-7pm with discounted appetizers, beers, well, drinks, and wine , every day. My favorite food is the blackened chicken bowl. You can also get it with fish. My husband has had the burger a few times, It is massive with two patties. My favorite part about hurricane hole is the very affordable "cook your catch " which they will cook whatever fish or lobster you bring to them from your fishing trip (already filleted) for $13 a person. They cook your catch grilled, blackened, Panko crust, or fried. Some of the blackened fish was too heavily blackened, it over-took the taste of the fish. But otherwise delicious. You can get an optional taco setup for $2 extra. It's the most affordable cook-your-catch on the island!!! Make sure to try the Tito's fresh lemonade on tap!! The lemons are fresh squeezed. You can tell it is real!! So addicting and the vodka goes down like water. Lol. I eat here a lot and I'll continue to come back!

The best key lime pie in the keys. Believe me.
Christine T.

Where you can have your catch cooked at $14pp with a choice of fried, blackened or Panko. Will recommend blackened - perfectly seasoned ( not too much and you cna taste your fish) Choice of several sides ( rice and black beans , coleslaw and sweet potato fries - extra $1.00) They have the best key lime pie - big portion , thick and creamy, balance of sweetness and tartness of the lime. The crust is amazing. Amazing service - shout out to Lauren Cocktails are good as well. Definitely a place to go when you leaving in the keys. And the best part is you have the view of the marina - maybe with fisherman and their catches. Also check out the area where they clean the fish - there are nurse sharks.

One of the best rum, rum runners I've had besides Tropics in Clearwater, Florida

We were recommended this place by some friends and if I could give it 10 stars I would! We went for happy hour appetizers and drinks and our waitress. Michele was phenomenal. The food was amazing. Snapper was the catch of the day and for appetizer we had snapper bites and the chicken nachos. I wish I had been smart enough to take a picture of the chicken nachos they were so good!! neat little marina amazing wait staff!! You have to go to hurricane hole if you're in Key West!!

Shrimp Po boy
Anton P.

Yes for: quick service, huge portions of food, fair prices! No for: too much salt in the food, both of our dishes were very salty. Also very minor but it would be nice to have beer in glasses not in plastic cups.

The catch of the day (yellowtail snapper) in seasoned panko with fries, housemase tartar and cornbread
Emily M.

We stopped for lunch this time at the Hurricane Hole. The catch of the day was yellowtail snapper. The chalkboard also announced that "It's too hot for soup!" They're not wrong. It's been very hot for October. Despite that we dined outside because our child adores the "black & red pirate ship". The sign was up to "please seat yourself" so we sat in a shaded spot where we could watch the play area. The service was fast, and the right level of attentive. I chose the catch of the day in panko and what I received was highly seasoned with light flaky texture. Everything was nicely cooked and not especially greasy, as fish and chips often can be. The tartar sauce is a great counterpoint to the seasoning in the panko. Husband has a Caesar salad with blackened catch of the day. He loves yellowtail.

Chicken tenders and fries

Great lunch spot!! We ordered blackened yellowtail snapper and chicken tenders -- both were so good! The snapper was super fresh and tasty. The service was also really good!!!

Catch Bowl
Chris A.

So a friend keeps his boat here, and we've had drinks there. Amazing tiki bar feel sitting by the water. Today, we stayed near there and went in for lunch. If you go, go hungry. The food is great, the portions are huge, service is great! We had the conch fritters, catch of day bites, & fried pickles for appetizers (that should've been all we ordered), but silly us ordered the Catch Bowl & Catch Tacos which the catch was Yellowtail Snapper, and they both were amazingly tasty. Needless to say we're having leftovers for supper!

We had never been and had seen some local residents post about it, so we definitely wanted to try it. The restaurant is small and intimate, which we love. We came on a Sunday night and we were seated right away. Our server Ionela was super nice, attentive, and took great care of us all night! Food: For appetizers, we started off with the Grilled Peruvian Scallops and the Lobster Empanadas. Both were really delicious. The scallops were like butter! The presentation was beautiful too. For our entrees, my husband ordered the Grilled Prime Beef Skirt Steak with fries, and I ordered the Yellowtail Snapper Fettuccine. What a TREAT! The fish was so fresh and delicious, it was so so lovely. My husband really enjoyed his meal as well (I took a couple bites and it was great!) I can't wait to come back here again next time (we come every year) and try some other dishes! Highly recommend!!!

The restaurant was nearly empty when we arrived, so we anticipated a pretty quick experience. Unfortunately, a large group arrived shortly after we were seated, and with what appeared to be only one waitress covering the area, service was much slower than expected. Between placing our orders and waiting for drinks, we honestly came close to getting up and leaving. But WOW, am I glad we stayed! This ended up being one of my favorite meals of our entire Key West trip! The fish tacos were seasoned to perfection, my cocktail absolutely hit the spot, and everyone in our group loved their food. The atmosphere was wonderful, and despite the slow service, the hospitality was warm, friendly, and genuine. By the end of the meal, with full bellies and happy faces, the wait was a distant memory. Sometimes good things really are worth waiting for! We'd absolutely return!

The food was fantastic. You'll pay for it, but about 10% more than other places like Pensacola, outer banks, or MD. 2lbs of crab legs and 1lb or shrimp, hush puppies and some sodas was a little under $150+tip. They DO have a mandatory "service gratuity" of 18%, even for a family of four. Honestly, I would have left them more if that wasn't on there.

The shrimp wasn't stringy at all and the veggies were the right amount of crunchy to soft. However in terms of flavor, I felt like it was lacking a little bit. We ordered butter and Cajun spice at the hottest level, and not only did the Cajun seasonings not really come through, but the sauce was also not very spicy at all. I also noticed that once the food got cold (which happens fairly quickly) it didn't taste quite as good. We also ordered sweet potato fries and found those also were in need of seasonings. Salt at the table helped, but it still needed a little extra something. Not super familiar with normal seafood boil processing but our meal was split between three people and was $60 each which I found to be very expensive. Automatic 18% gratuity included.

The spinach salad was a nice contrast of "greens" to have as an appetizer. For mains, the Key Lime Pasta with (I think) local spiny lobster was great and the Filet Co. Chili Cheese Coney with small beef dogs on a little buns was also good. For dessert, we enjoyed the hot banana honey. The bistro is decorated with Star Wars paraphernalia on the shelves over the bar and you have to check out the bathroom, which was pretty awesome with Star Wars scene complete with flashing lights. The atmosphere is dimly lit and kinda cool and a bit like a speak easy. I'd give The Flaming Buoy a very strong 4 and highly recommend it as one of the Key's coolest better food oriented restaurants.
