Not often you get a great view AND great food! Grilled yellowtail sandwich (sans bun, I have) was incredible! My partner got the blackened Mahi sandwich and loved it as well. Coleslaw tasted fresh, creamy, but still crunchy with a good snap. We both love our pickle as well, it's really the little things! I am a nut for conch chowder and really enjoyed mine. Drinks were great as well, margaritas were well balanced and didn't taste like cheap sour mix! 10/10 recommendation. Props to our server Kevin who was very accommodating and helped guide me to keep me safe with gluten free options. read more

The downstairs bar was packed for happy hour and the World Cup final, but we were still taken care of immediately. Two Hemingway mojitos were exactly what we needed. We then moved upstairs and grabbed seats at the bar. We ordered the peel and eat shrimp, calamari, and conch fritters. Everything was perfect and came out quickly despite the whole place buzzing. After two more mojitos, we moved to our table upstairs on the balcony. The views were amazing, and the live music on the beach made the whole experience even better. My wife ordered her go-to yellowtail "Lazy Way," which is a must. I had the stuffed whole yellowtail. Everything was excellent, and the portions were abundant. Oh, and did I mention the bread basket, complete with a mini loaf of banana bread! If you haven't been here yet, you need to add it to your list! read more

I do not know why everyone raves about this place. While there is a wide variety of options, almost none of them are good. Everything had either too much mayonnaise or too much sauce or was overcooked. It was like they're too worried about the quality of the ingredients or the food to let it stand on its own. This could also be as a result of the cooking of the region. It would've been great to have something light and fresh. I did order a Caesar salad salad, and the dressing tasted like somebody edited ranch dressing. There was no anchovy flavor. The servers are nice, the prices aren't bad, and there is plenty of parking if you don't go on the weekend. The view is nice as well. Other than that, I really don't know if I would eat here again. read more

Ambiance 5/5 Service 4.5/5 Food 4/5 Key lime mojito - skip it. Not very "key lime-y". Blended key lime colada also watery, wouldn't recommend. Key lime martini was a hit. Lazy gator appetizer was served w key lime butter, green onion and tomatoes. Chewier than I expected -the lazy day chicken is the same but much more tender. Burger was solid, jalapeno encrusted yellowtail was also good and portions are large. All come with a salad and side (baked potato, garlic mashed potato, rice pilaf, green beans were today's choices). Over solid, nice ambiance and attentive service. Parking could get tight but we were able to find a spot easily on a Tuesday night with no wait for outdoor seating. read more

Lazy Days Restaurant - Jalapeño encrusted yellow tail - Seafood Near Me - Islamorada, Florida

A perfect stop for lunch. You can't beat the atmosphere here. Lunch right on the water is exactly what you want when you're in the Keys. Of course we started off with some refreshing drinks. I got the key lime colada, it was creamy but I didn't get much key lime flavor. I also got the fresh catch sandwich. It was good I just wish I asked beforehand about what fish it was. It was Mahi, which is good but I hoped for something more local and in season. We enjoyed this stop to start our trip. Perfect atmosphere with good, beachy lunch options. read more

In lower Islamorada sits this two story restaurant with an amazing outside deck and an inside bar. Been here twice before and had fresh seafood but today was a pit stop from a long drive and wanted a few pictures on the Lazy Days Beach with my wife. Today was very windy but unbelieveable views of the ocean. There are about fifty white chairs set out on the beach for public use. Great place to relax and take in the views of the keys. Public bathrooms upstairs. read more

Beautiful views right on the water. Sitting outside overlooking the ocean was awesome, but a bit windy. Our server was great, very friendly and informative. The fried fisherman's platter was okay but lacked flavor on many items (just tasted like fried batter) and there wasn't many shrimp (maybe four); it was mostly small clam and calamari pieces. The fried fish was pretty good. For us, this restaurant was all about the views and outdoor Keys vibe, but the food while not bad, could've been better. I've seen many people say Lazy Days has really good food, so I'll give them a pass and assume we just didn't get their best when we stopped last week for lunch. read more

Came here for dinner with a large group. This probably ended up being our favorite place we went out to eat in the keys. We didn't have a reservation and were lucky enough to get a nice spot out on the deck overlooking the water. The view was beautiful. To start, we were given free banana bread and rolls which is super nice. My kids loved the banana bread. To drink, my husband and I both got the lazy days raspberry lemonade. Our drinks were great. They have an extensive menu with a lot of seafood options. I saw they even have an option for them to cook whatever fish you catch, which seems to be a popular thing down here. For appetizers, we had the conch fritters and the lazy gator. We really enjoyed both. For my entree, I had the fresh catch sandwich. The fresh catch of the day was mahi mahi and I ordered mine coconut fried. It was fantastic. My kids got the burgers and Mac and cheese kids meals which they seemed to enjoy. We had to get the key lime pie for dessert since they said it was "the best in the keys". The key lime pie was amazing and I will say it was the best of the three that we tried on this trip to the keys. Our total bill was pretty high but I felt the food quality and atmosphere made it worth it. Overall, this is a must visit for your trip to the keys. Loved everything about it here. read more

Had an amazing lazy Sunday evening at Lazy Days Restaurant located in Isla Morada. Loved the beachy and relaxed vibes all very Key West style. The restaurant is located beachfront where you can enjoy beautiful ocean view and live music. I highly recommend the seafood broil platter. You get lobster, scallops, jumbo shrimp and fish all for a reasonable price. The staff was friendly and attentive. They have to go up and down the stairs as the kitchen is located on the second level. You also get oceanview from the terrace upstairs seating area. Their bread basket came with the best banana nut bread I had in a while. Bread was warm and delicious. Will definitely come back to try that banana bread one more time. read more

Lazy Days is what the Florida Keys are all about out! One of my favorite spots in the keys that has it all. Great ocean views, relaxing chill vibes with live music often, balance of a hip bar or beachside seating or indoor seating for any mood any day of the week! They offer amazing food with fresh seafood that's normally locally caught. You may also bring your own catch of the day that they will cook up for you as you wish and even offer it with their signature sauces. Amazing variety on the menu and great portions. Hands down the best bread basket provided at any place as you're not only fine dinner rolls, but an amazingly perfect banana nut bread that's warm and fresh that's moist and indulging. Our waiter was great and checked on us often and provided impeccable service. Food was fresh and amazing, however just wished my dish this time around was more flavorful as it lacked any seasoning except paprika and the signature key lime butter sauce was just not enough to help overall. Otherwise, great spot and great food always! read more

Excellent service and gorgeous views of the ocean. We opted for the Stone Crab appetizer and ordered entrees from the specials menu. We selected the grilled fish du jour, the Hogfish Tequila, and Shrimp & Scallops Arabia. Chef's kiss--the Hogfish and Shrimp & Scallops were delicious and plentiful portions. The Mahi special was a bit over and could have used a good seasoning. We enjoyed the live acoustic guitar music playing on the beach and stayed for an after-dinner cocktail to hear more. read more

Four stars in spite of the service. Never received my beverage and the waiter didn't check back after our food was delivered. He was talking with the table next to us while checking us out. Lovely outdoor area on the ocean. Conch chowder and conch ceviche and cracked conch appetizers were good. They had other items we wanted to try but won't return this trip. The key lime pie was good. A bit sweeter than we prefer but the crust was like a graham cracker shortbread very delicious. read more

Food and drinks are strangely combined and confusingly seasoned. We tried the Spicy Margarita and Lazy Smash for drinks. The Spicy Margarita says it's made with jalapeño tequila, but the flavor was like they added muddled jalapeño peppers. Not super spicy just *really* strong jalapeño flavor; it was gross. The Lazy Smash had so much Key lime juice that the whole drink was just bitter. We didn't finish either drink. For entrees, we had the Steak Teriyaki and the special Lobster Lorenzo. Teriyaki sauce had some kind of Indian spice added - curry powder? turmeric? - whatever it was it tasted like a teriyaki/marsala. It was odd. The Lobster Lorenzo is a split lobster tail that is breaded and fried, topped with a giant crab cake and sauce. The crab cake and sauce were amazing, the lobster was tough and chewy. I can't really comment on the server, since we had three different guys between the drink orders, the food order, food delivery, and the check. Scenery is nice and the restaurant itself is well decorated and inviting next to the water. But the food and drinks are definitely not worth the price. There are lots of other great choices in the Keys. read more

Wow! I have no idea how we got into this awesome restaurant with a beautiful view by just walking up! On an overcast day, we made our way and hoped for no rain...not only did we not see rain, but we had the most spectacular view over the ocean and a delicious meal. Everything was on point. I'll be dreaming of my crispy fish sandwich and icy sauvignon blanc by the waves until next year! read more

Good place to come after loading the cooler up with fresh fish from the morning fishing outing. Solid views and good food, including cook your own catch. The Lazy Days option is unique with the key lime butter and toppings. Also the blackened is yummy. We caught a good amount of mangrove snapper while out and it was a good meal with nice views. Service is relaxed in the spirit of the name of the establishment :P. read more

Of course the ocean view, the little beach and the laid-back vibe are the highlights here - and honestly that alone makes it worth a visit!! I had a delicious and refreshing frozen Piña Colada to beat the summer heat. We also got the fried calamari which was surprisingly light and not greasy at all. For mains my husband had the Mahi Mahi sandwich and I had the Chicken Ceasar Salad - and again, surprisingly fresh, saucy and very tasty. Service was also attentive. So overall, great experience. Would def go back! read more

Came here for happy hour on a Sunday and didn't realize I came here as a child with my family, many years ago. This restaurant is a place I see in fever dreams and I half thought I'd made it up, but boy am I glad we found it! The drinks deals are mid ($2 off $13 is not super happy heh) but the food menu was PHENOMENAL. Tuna tataki was small but delectable. Jalepeno poppers weee fresh, piping hot, used whole jalpenos and fresh cheese very obviously. Best i've ever had. The peel and eat shrimp were served with a trip of accoutrements (butter old bay and cocktail) and the quality was undeniable. Sweet succulent and pretty large shrimp! Had to order seconds. Manager seemed on our bartenders butt, however they can rest assured that the tall blonde man upstairs bar is tending to his customers! It was cute watching him wish happy Mother's Day and hug regulars :') could do without their oysters and maybe a more fun happy hour drinks menu? read more

Pros: Location was great. Right off the A1A down the Keys. Just had to pull over. Ambiance was even better. Our table was right off the water, so we could watch the waves roll in and out. It was so peaceful. It was fun watching all the birds try and eat everyone's food. Lol. Service was top notch. A really nice guy who peddled drinks, but wasn't too pushy. Food came out in a timely manner. Food was pretty good, too. Everything we had was fried, but it wasn't oily or greasy or anything. Just right. Cons: No real cons. An enjoyable experience. Tips: Get the fried conch. Not the fritters, conch fritters are not good. But the fried conch gives you nice little filets of conch to dip in those sauces. Very nice. read more

Went on a vacation to the Florida Keys, and I did a lot of research on the best places to eat in the Keys. My research brought me to Lazy Days, and I'm very happy with my decision. The location was picture perfect. Tables and chairs right in the sand, overlooking the ocean. All the birds flying around, very peaceful. Service was also top notch. Dude was in and out, refilling drinks, food was at the table very promptly, no issues there whatsoever. I got a virgin frozen pina colada, and it was excellent. Even though they should think about offering more creative mocktails, or even simple N/A pre-made products, the pina hit the spot for me. Started off with the Coconut Fried Shrimp (Hand breaded shrimp with our coconut batter and served with our mango chutney). Standard stuff. Big sized shrimp, very crunchy breading, sweet-but-not-too-sweet chutney. Satisfying. Went on to the Fried Cracked Conch (Tenderized Bahamian queen conch, hand breaded, served with our homemade cocktail sauce). I hate conch fritters, I just do. So these I loved! Good sized hunks of conch fried beautifully, really let the conch flavor sing. They weren't overcooked or too tough or anything. It was really nice. I recommend. Finished off with, of course, the Homemade Key Lime Pie (Best in the Keys and made fresh daily). This was our first Key lime pie of the trip, and it was very nice. Sweet and tangy, cool whip to tamp it down. Just very good. I was a fan. Overall, the food aspect was a four star experience, but the beachside ambiance and the great server kicked it up a notch to a five star experience, for sure. read more

We were visiting the keys for a wedding and some locals suggested Lazy Days for a water side meal. We arrived and picked a table near the water. Great setting and the service was great. I agree with another poster that it had the feel of a touristy spot, not a locals spot. We both ordered specialty fish sandwiches and it was just OK. We had much better food at "dives" and food trucks during our trip and the price point here seemed very high. Once again, food was ok to good but not anything special. Drinks were ok but once again broke the bank. There are better options in the area. read more

Blackened mahi entree-9.4/10 Blackened mahi sandwich-9.2/10 Conch chowder- 8.1/10 Seafood Choweder-7.1/10 Ambiance- 10/10 Service-9/10 Great spot. Some of the best seasoned blackened mahi I've ever had (does have a kick if you don't like spice). Conch chowder was solid with good amount of conch in it. Seafood chowder was solid as well but way too thick. My only complaint is that there was no option for rice as a side. In fact, the only somewhat "healthy" side item available was salad, which required a $4 up charge. The entree would've been a 10/10 for me if there was rice. read more

We had an amazing time at lazy days. We brought a fresh catch mahi fillet which they prepared for us three different ways. We were in a large group so we ordered a couple other dishes, including the hogfish lazy day style, which was the greatest thing I've ever put in my mouth. The service was fantastic. The location was surreal. The ocean breeze was beautiful and the beers were cold. We actually came back a few days later to have the hogfish again. This is my new favorite restaurant in the world and I will be back. read more

We came here last week while we were in Islamorada for a few days with some friends. We had heard that Lazy Days was the best place to get stone crabs during season - and they were right! The stone crabs were really good!! We also ordered oysters and wings. The wings were very saucy so if you're into that, you'll like it (I did!). However, the oysters came out a little too warm for me and my husband's taste. Our friends ate them and said they were good - they just weren't for us. The atmosphere was pretty laid back and chill (very Keys) and we had a nice time while we were there for happy hour. Everyone was friendly and we got everything we needed as needed. read more

In summary...the hype is right. I assumed it would be an over priced tourist place. However, we got two appetizers and four meals and everything was delicious! Totally worth the money for an amazing dinner, on the water, with live music. Would go back over and over. Unfortunately we didn't get any pictures but the conch fritters and conch ceviche was delicious to start. We got seared tuna, grouper Lorenzo, yellowtail jalapeño, and hogfish Hemingway and all four meals were delicious and plenty of leftovers for lunch the next day! read more

Can't beat the Lazy Conch!! It's a must stop for us every year as we arrive in the Keys.

After a beautiful beach day we decided we needed something good to eat with views with all the comforts of the wonderful Keys. So of course we stopped here. Sat outside with the ocean views and beautiful sun. We started with conch fritters to share and then each had a conch chowder soup. The fritters had chunky pieces of conch, loved that. The soup was phenomenal. I don't know what it was but it was just delicious. The flavors, the ingredients were just perfect. My friend had the fried fish that smelled delish and I opted for the crab legs. We both had salad with it and even that was great. Our whole outing was a perfect day that ended with perfect meals. read more

The lazy days franchise is a staple down the overseas highway, and the food never disappoints. The mahi sandwich was cooked to perfection and the serving was so large that I should've shared. I got the fries, but my sister-in-law got the sweet potato fries and next time I think I'll go with that option because they were delicious. The conch fritters were light and airy with a little kick so good. it was quite stormy, but we still opted for an outdoor seating which was covered and I didn't even get one rain drop on me. i'm coming back when it's not raining to enjoy the amazing view. read more

We came in to grab a bite on our way back from a nearby attraction and had an ok meal with good service. While the restaurant is right on the water and has different seating areas to suit you preference, it somewhat felt to us to be a tourist trap kind of place. Not that it and of itself, is a terrible thing. We busted hoped for the sort of meal that we were lucky enough to have in more local places. Prices reflected that- oysters and stone crab were very highly priced relative to other local spots. The food we ordered was all very good- special shout out to the calamari and the marinara sauce it came with. The conch fritters were good as well. The kids grilled cheese was ok. House salad wasn't the best but doable. Our server was very nice as well as the hostess- very friendly and helpful. I wish we had lowered our expectations a little bit because all in all it's a beautiful spot with great people. read more

We absolutely loved our meal at Lazy Days Restaurant! The Lazy Days-style fish sandwiches were outstanding--perfectly cooked, fresh, and full of flavor. I had the mahi mahi and my other half enjoyed the yellowtail, and both were cooked just right--tender, flaky, and seasoned beautifully. And of course, the banana bread deserves a special mention. It's always such a wonderful addition to the breadbasket and something we genuinely look forward to every visit. Great food, consistent quality, and that relaxed Keys vibe that keeps us coming back.
