Apple Maps says they open at 9 but it's actually 11 so had to wait a bit, got there at 10:30. Went for the lobster Reuben I saw all over tiktok. Really disappointing. There was a ton of lobster but it had no flavor at all. The sauce was good but there was very little of it. Fries had a weird aftertaste. At least the key lime pie was very good. Cute area to walk around.

My wife and I visited my brother in Highland Beach FL, then drove to Key West. On the way we stopped for lunch at Keys Fisheries. I was dying for grouper so I ordered the Reuben Grouper sandwich. My wife ordered a shrimp with rice bowl. I turned out that they gave me a lobster reuben at the grouper price. It was delicious. Fries were golden brown and tasty. My wife enjoyed the shrimp bowl.

Conch Fritters (8) with Remoulade

Checked out Keys Fisheries -- definitely a solid laid-back spot to kick back by the water and grab a bite. Order at the window, find yourself a seat, and just enjoy the view. Hard to beat that kind of vibe. Food-wise: Conch fritters -- 7/10. Good flavor, nice bite, definitely enjoyable. Coconut shrimp -- 6/10. Flavor was there, but they were a little overcooked and leaned on the rubbery side. Nothing blew me away, but it's still a cool place to hang out, have a drink, and soak in the Keys atmosphere. Sometimes the setting carries just as much weight as the food -- and this place delivers on that.

Slice - Award Winning Homemade Key Lime Pie

Excellent food and eating spots on the wharf. Favorite lunch spot on the drive down to KeyWest. Loved the stone crab. They serve it cold which I wasn't expecting but it was so flavorful by itself and with the provided sauces. Excellent sweet potato fries and perfect coleslaw that isn't dripping in sauce. Loved the Crab chowder even though it doesn't have as strong of a crab flavor to it Key Lime Pie here might be my favorite of all 9 that we tried on our stay in the Keys. Tart, smooth filling with a sweet crust. Perfection.

A magnificent sunset from the upstairs tiki bar

Initially, I ordered Keys Fisheries food via DoorDash. The fried scallops basket and lobster bisque were meh at best. The hogfish platter was somewhat better, offering a generous portion along with some tasty smashed potatoes. 2 days later, a server at another restaurant highly recommended Keys Fisheries' 2nd floor tiki lounge as the best place in Marathon to partake of a sunset. He was abso-freaking-lutely right! At sunset, the bartender serves up complimentary rum punch shots. There is nothing like a Keys sunset when the last of the sun drops below the horizon like God turning the lights out... The restaurant itself is pretty barebones basic, but I would imagine being next to a marina and commercial fishery, the seafood would be very fresh and perhaps better than a DoorDashed order. I also enjoyed watching a huge swarm of ginormous tarpon and nurse sharks opportunistically awaiting the commercial fish scraps at day's end

Sometimes basic is better. You order at a window after perusing a huge menu on the wall. Sit at a picnic table overlooking the water. In a few minutes your name is called and go get some of the freshest seafood on the planet. Big portions. Cooked perfectly. You can get pretty much anything here. There's also a full bar with some nice local draft beer choices. The Grouper Ruben was delicious- the normal Ruben ingredients worked great with the grouper. The fish on a bun was fresh and plentiful. If you're looking for a break from the typical (but also good) coastal seafood bar/restaurants this is a place for you.

Fried chicken sandwich

A staff member of the Keys Fisheries could punch me right in the face and I would continue to patronize this establishment because the food here is that freaking good. We are not locals but stay in Marathon once a year and we make darn sure to visit the Keys Fisheries at least once. Our last visit was on 12/27/2025. There were six of us which meant there were six very happy and satisfied people at the end of our experience. Yes, it's true, this is a no-frills restaurant. You walk up to a window and order your food. The menu is on the wall and you can look at it while you wait in line. There will be a line - so what - it moves fast. You give the girl a fake name and then wait for it to be called so you can go back to the window and get your tray of food. Then you find a seat somewhere nearby at a picnic table. Who cares? None of this will matter once you start eating the food. Oh yeah, you can get alcohol here too. Sign me up! I don't remember what I have year after year BUT I will never forget what I had this year - and neither will anyone else! There's a special on the board this time: hogfish francaise or francese however you'd like to spell it. I notice the catch of the day is hogfish. This sounds like a winner. I order it. I get it. I eat it. I am forever changed. I would sell my soul to have this again. Yes - it was that good. I feel bad for my friends and family at this point. I'm not even done half my meal and they already know about this damn hogfish. I've told everyone. I simply can't shut up about how divine this meal was. Could you please stop talking about it? No, I cannot. Hey - I'm coming back in December. Hope you're ready!

It's nothing fancy at all, picnic tables in an open air Pavillion. Food was good. You place order at the counter and pick up when name is called.

Grouper sandwich with fries
Erin G.

Perfect casual spot to grab a great fish sandwich. A little pricey but you can taste how fresh it is. I love that you can sit out by the docks and watch the boats come and go. Service is pretty quick even with a line.

Nice casual eatery here in Marathon. Right on the water in a marina. You order at the window and in literally no time your order is up. My lovely wife had their Lobster Mac&Cheese and I had the Lobster Bisque with a Lobster Roll. Everything was delicious and large portions. We will be back. Oh yeah don't forget to check out their fish market. Plenty on deals there.

Coconut shrimp
Jean O.

Went here based on Marathon happenings members recommendations. The line was long and not worth the wait. Was hoping we could have dinner and enjoy the view from the upstairs bar but we had our 2 teenage boys. Only 21 and up can go upstairs. We ordered The conch salad had the smallest bits of conch and all greens. Bland The fried seafood platter was disappointing too. skinny fried calamari, fish sticks and shrimp. The conch fritter was over cooked., almost burnt. It might have been a bad day in the kitchen as I was expecting better based on rave reviews. The only positive was the view.

Dina G.

Boy was this place fun. We enjoyed the sunset toast a lot. The posts covered with stickers give a festive ambiance. The drinks and food at happy hour were so cheap compared to heat we've been paying. The sashimi was a bit questionable (it had a bit of a fishy quality nobody else cared for but I ate it and was fine), but the crab claws were delicious. Bartender gave me a free soda water for being the DD, thanks, ma'am!! Really enjoyed the festive atmosphere.

A great view of a sunset, we came here on a Friday night. We ordered food downstairs at the window and brought it to the upper deck. We ordered 1 Broiled Lobsters with vegetables and rice. At the bar, they had half bottles and we got a half bottle for $14 of the Kendall Jackson Chardonnay. It was neat because at sunset, they hand out "Sunset Shots". Sweet and delicious, it was a cool experience. The Lobster was a tad overcooked but the broccoli was good. Paired with some rice and a little butter, it was decent. Wouldn't say that the service was super friendly but it's a cool experience and a great sunset view.

We just went to the fish market and the fish was super fresh. The cashier was nice and helpful.

Right on the water, fresh seafood. Had the Mahi fish tacos, delicious. The cole slaw not so much, should have gotten the fries.

Can you go by boat and dock at the marino?

I can't imagine why not -- it's right there on the dock. Whether the marina is public or private I don't know.

Oh HEY! The best restaurant food down here. Looks small from outside. The people working are flying…read morearound busy. We all got fish sandwiches and a piece of German chocolate cake. Sandwich was killer!!! Cute how they stamp it with restaurant name. Fries were hot and tasty. Grabbed some fresh fish from the case to go. Beautiful selection of fresh fish. Some of the best. Oh don't forget the damn cookie. wooooowww! That thing was like no other cookie. Nice and plump, moist and we all wished we had a few more. Only like $2.50 each which was even more amazing! Go here! You will not regret.

I recently visited Fishtails and unfortunately left quite disappointed. Given how busy the…read morerestaurant was, I had high expectations--but the experience did not match the crowd. I ordered the grouper, which is typically a highlight in the Florida Keys, but it lacked even basic seasoning and fell flat in flavor. The coleslaw was noticeably too sweet for my taste, and the potato salad included green peppers, which is an unusual choice and didn't complement the dish well. The service also left much to be desired. Our waitress was inattentive and provided very little information throughout the meal. Most concerning was that we left a significant portion of our food untouched, yet she never checked in or asked if anything was wrong--something I would expect at any restaurant, especially one as busy as this. Overall, while the atmosphere may draw a crowd, the food quality and service did not meet expectations. For comparison, I've had a far better grouper sandwich at Keys Fisheries Market & Marina, which makes this experience even more disappointing. I hope improvements can be made, as this location clearly has potential. Respond to owner, your response is your opinion, I have no reason to give bad information, if you watched your video as you stated you would have been able to see my friend and I dusguessing the food, also she never refilled our tea as frankly we didn't even drink it all. A good and attentive waitress could have mentioned that it came with coleslaw not to give two portions. It's whatever sir and if you want to get more technical, they grouper was fishy tasting and still had the dark vein line down the filet.
