While driving to Key West, we stopped at this restaurant. We had spent almost the entire day at Bahia Honda State Park and were absolutely starving. I kept thinking, "till Big Pine Key, I've seen so many waterfront restaurants--so let's just head toward Key West, and if something looks tempting, we'll stop." That's when we spotted Kiki's. The big, bold sign caught my eye, and we took a right turn Parking was easy (lots of space), and the place had that classic tropical vibe--laid back, colorful, and vibing. The restaurant has two floors of dining plus outdoor seating. Near the entrance, there's a small stage for live music and a bunch of bright Adirondack chairs that really add to the chill atmosphere. signs for big cities (like 2000 miles to Quebec, haha) We got our table quickly, and since we were trying to make it to Mallory Square in time for sunset, we let our server know we were in a bit of a rush. Unfortunately, the service wasn't great, and we ended up spending about 55 minutes there, which felt longer than expected given our timing. We ordered: * Mahi Basket: - really good, and my wife loved it. * Snapper Sandwich: with crunchy fries and sauce - solid and satisfying, also great fish Overall, the food was good, the vibe was matching, and the whole setting was really nice--just the service didn't quite match. But honestly, if we hadn't been in a hurry, it probably wouldn't have bothered us. They also have a pier for boat parking, a small gift shop, and air conditioned bathrooms (haha). Nice spot! read more

Great vibe, live music, and a friendly waitress -- started off strong. Then the kitchen sent me the wrong order (fish sandwich instead of a burger). Couldn't get the server's attention, so I just ate it. When the bill came, I calmly explained and asked for it to be removed -- not to avoid paying, but to acknowledge the mistake. The manager came over visibly annoyed, took zero responsibility, offered no apology, and basically said "you ate it, you pay." Then walked away. This wasn't about the money -- it was about accountability and basic respect. Completely mishandled. It's a shame because the place has a great atmosphere, but with management like that, I won't be back. Plenty of better options in the Keys. read more

Kiki's Sandbar is everything you want in the Keys and more. From the moment you walk in, it has that laid-back, feet-in-the-sand vibe that instantly makes you feel like you're home.

This was a nice place with good drinks, great service and good music. The food was not amazing but was very good

Had dinner on a recommendation. Food was very good- smash burger and seafood mixed grill- very good and cooked perfectly- Bloody Marys were spot on and the band was excellent Going back while we are here but a little later in the evening to get more of the band vibe read more

Really fun spot to pop in for lunch! We ate here after a pleasant morning spent at nearby Big Pine Key. Lunch options were a little bit limited in the area so we were happy to find Kiki's! We sat on the sprawling back patio, enjoyed sunshine and live music -- with a beautiful view of the water. The menu is straightforward and everything we had was very good. Fresh grilled fish, cocktails, and some fries! All you need for a great beach day lunch. We had a lot of fun, would return! read more

Ordered the smash burger which was so bad. It was not a smash burger by any means, the burger patties were definitely thin but not by any means "smash". Our waiter kept saying it was so good so 4/5 of us ordered it. It was way too seasoned and I couldn't even finish as I felt sick afterwards. The staff was incredibly friendly and I enjoyed the outdoor ambiance. read more

This place has undergone some changes. With it, the food quality has elevated. I love the tuna nachos. And the outside sandy are is fantastic. Music a lot of nights too! read more

We stopped at this spot for lunch after spending some time at the beach and everything was great. We went for lunch on a Sunday and it was not busy at all. They do have outdoor sitting downstairs and indoor upstairs. We decided to do indoor. Our servers (one was in training) were great and attentive. My raw oysters tasted fresh and my margarita was strong. I went with the trio platter which had snapper, mahi and shrimp. Everything was perfectly seasoned and fresh. I enjoyed everything we had and I would recommend. read more

Another great night at Kiki's outside , a great place for the grandsons to play while we wait for food , no music for us as we were between artists , lots of families and dogs outside , amazing drinks including rum colada and rum punch , awesome fish tacos and the tuna nachos are just incredible . Great spot to drive or boat to their dock read more

A part of our party went fishing on a charter boat and it docked at this location. The rest of us met them here. This is a nice spot. Nice views of the water. They offer to cook whatever you catch for 18 bucks per pound. They give choices of fried, grilled or blackened. Our party chose blackened. There's nothing like fresh fish. It was very good but also TOOOO salty. I would request lightly blackened next time. They include sides with it and bring it out family style. Very cool experience and everyone was super nice. read more

The bartenders are friendly and make well crafted cocktails. The setting is perfect as it's nestled on the beach. We didn't eat but the food did look good. The only thing not perfect was the sour, almost puke like smell. It's a common smell for bars that are road hard and put away wet. read more

Great stop on our way to Key West. I had a salad with snapper and my husband had the grouper basket. Both dishes were good and the view of the water and the overseas highway was a bonus. It was a nice tiki restaurant and Leeanna took great care of us. Also it's dog friendly! read more

So I've given this place a chance 3 times, because of its convenience to me. Every single time has been such a waste of time and money that I regret going so I won't be anymore. First, the seating situation is nice! However the way they delegate the seating with the servers is terrible. All three times we ended up waiting for 20 minutes before someone would check in to refill drinks or see how food went. This wouldn't bother me had there not been issues with our drinks/food each and EVERY time. The first time we were given a lot of weird policies to do with their seating chart, and it all just seemed a little over the top but I'm not a restaurant expert so that could just be our mistake, I've just never seen a restaurant with rules like that. The second time we ordered a take out French dip, and it didn't have the broth that you eat it with, so I had to call them and ask for it and drive back to the restaurant. That one is on me for not checking before I left. Overall that particular time I really didn't think it was a good sandwich and I love them typically. The third time we went, we sat at the bar and put in food with the bartender, we ordered drinks. My drink wasn't made right, (it comes with chocolate syrup and didn't have any, I wanted a chocolate drink) and the bartender wasn't there so I asked a different one, all good. Then after we waited for 40 minutes on food, and saw the people who arrived after us finally got theirs we asked the other bartender if there was even food put in for us, he said no, so we left. I really wanted to love this place as the atmosphere is beautiful and the live music is nice, I just can't after three poor experiences. However I will say the spicy margarita is delicious! And for the atmosphere and margaritas I gave it 3 instead of 1/2 stars. read more

5 stars I absolutely love Kiki's Sandbar! The atmosphere is unbeatable, with stunning waterfront views and a laid-back island vibe that makes it one of our favorite spots in the Keys. All of the servers are genuinely wonderful -- friendly, attentive, and always make you feel welcome. I have the pleasure of playing live music here every other Tuesday from 6 to 9 PM, but they feature live music every single day during that time, and often have additional entertainment hours too. Definitely check their website for the full music and event schedule -- there's always something going on! As for the food: the wings, smash burger, and tuna nachos are absolute must-tries. Everything is fresh and flavorful. It's also nice to have such a great option a little farther up the Keys -- perfect for locals and visitors alike. Can't recommend this place enough! read more

Seat yourself type of place. View is nice and there's a live band. Their mango habanero wings are good! But definitely missing some heat. The smashburger was pretty mid too. Service can take a hot minute if they're slammed. It was MDW so it was but still it was good. I would say it's your average on the water no frills type of restaurant. read more

Stopped here for a quick bite to eat on our drive to Key West. It's one of many roadside spots to choose from. Plenty of parking at this waterside spot. Service is friendly. We appreciated the table umbrellas to shade us from the sun. They have covered bar with plenty of libations to choose from. Our server recommended the tuna nachos and we obliged. The plate was plentiful, tuna fresh and overall super flavorful. It looks like they offer live music on certain occasions. This place gives the island vibe! read more

Upon entering wasn't sure where to go to get seated. So I went upstairs and was told to seat myself. We had 7 total, but found a seat right away. The waitress was very nice in explaining that the kitchen was very backed up and we could t order right now. As soon as they opened back up she would get our order in. About 10 min later she came back and took our order, BUT once the food came out we were missing the 2 apps we ordered and my daughter's food. Apparently they ran out of flour tortillas, so then I asked about wonton chips, nope don't have those either. Sadly my daughter didn't get to eat dinner - being a vegetarian at such a young age is rough. The waitress was so sweet though and brought her some crackers. She even offered my daughter some free pie to brighten her face! Overall, I'd come back, but just be aware of the crowds and kitchen scene. read more

The food is excellent and the vibe is really fun! The shrimp tacos and ahi nachos were great and the grilled cheese for our kids was the best grilled cheese sandwich they've ever had and was served on a beach toy the kids used to look for things in the tide pools later on. Highly recommend! read more

I got so much great food on the 4th of July, it was my first time EVER going to Kiki's after living here for a year and everything was great.

Everything was great! Live music and a happy vibe. Parking was limited for the size of the restaurant but people were parking on the street. We ordered apps and meals including dessert. The best Key Lime Pie I've had down here. I loved the tuna Poke bowl!! My friend had the nacho version and said she wished she would have gotten the bowl. So much tuna!! Everything was so great though! read more

Great service and location. I always enjoy the live music. Good drink selection good food. The tuna nachos are the bomb. Nice portions of fresh fish. They will also cook your catch. read more

We stopped on our way to key west and it was a great choice. We went a little overboard on food but everything was so good. The only thing was I wanted smaller raw oysters so I did ask before ordering and they came out larger than I expected but Cheryl also noticed as well and asked if that was ok which I appreciated. The coconut shrimp is the best coconut shrimp I've had but the real star is the famous nachos. Definitely give them a try. I mean truly everything we had was delicious and we ordered most of the appetizers menu so can't go wrong there. The view with the outdoor seating is fantastic and the drinks are really nice too. We loved our time at Kiki's! read more

Stopped for a few appetizers and drinks on our way up to Marathon. Walked in to a super friendly, laid-back atmosphere. Loved the decor and the views - and the sandy floor gave it that "beachy" vibe. We ordered the Key Lime mojito and Key Lime punch. Both were good - but came after our appetizers were served which was a little bit of a bummer. Ordered the grouper app - which was delicious. Lightly breaded so not too heavy. Dipping sauce was a tartar which was average. The Kaboom shrimp was delicious - good amount of sauce, and not too spicy. I also ordered a cup of lobster bisque which was good - but sort of "thin" for a base without any lobster pieces. But the flavor was great. We'd be back - we came right before the dinner crowd, so it's a popular place! read more

Really enjoyed Kiki's. Stopped in twice with cook your catch. All three options were really tasty - fried, blackened and grilled, although blackened was probably the best. Even had our own tuna prepped as the tuna nachos, which were amazing! read more

Waited, and waited, and left. We sat there being ignored by staff, and got zero service. Zero stars for nothing.

Nice place - great outdoor seating- food was very good- waitress was helpful - had great suggestions

We loved it so much we came back for a second night! Sat upstairs and outside. Nice and cool inside after a hot day. The servers we had were both amazing! The conch fritters were great, the grouper both nights was tasty. Kids loved the shrimp and chicken both nights. The kitchen and table servers are awesome to watch. It's impressive how busy they are and how the orders roll out! read more

This place is such a hidden gem in the Keys! My family and I absolutely loved it when we went on vacation. The Ahi Tuna Nachos and Grouper Bites were both amazing -- definitely a must-try! We sat upstairs in the dining room a few months ago, and it was so lovely and peaceful compared to the lively beach bar downstairs. The décor was charming too. Our server was wonderful -- so friendly, attentive, and genuinely sweet. I can't recommend this spot enough. If you ever find yourself at Kiki's, do yourself a favor and sit upstairs! read more
