We finally made it back here. Not busy at all and we were seated right off. Outside at sunset. Our waitress was very cordial and friendly. We both had their French Onion soup for starters. Then ordered their large broiled Scallops for me and my wife ordered their Crab Dip. Service was very fast and the French Onion soup was delicious. My wife loved the Crab Dip and I also enjoyed the Lg. Scallops broiled to perfection. We will be back! read more

This is always a must for dinner when my love and I come down to our family house in Marathon. We have had many romantic and wonderful moments and conversations while enjoying an epic sunset, and we always bring family and friends here as well. The menu is quite extensive and diversified and portions are generous. Drinks are solid. Sitting outside is a MUST. It could use some updating but it definitely preserves the "old Keys" style. Key Lime Pie is respectably solid. Service is always good. read more

While our fresh catch red groupa was slightly overcooked, the flavor profile was wonderful. On the left, we had red groupa topped with crab cakes and bernaise sauce. The right, red groupa panko crusted and topped with tomatoes, scallions and jalapeños. The soups and salads are good. Service is okay, we had to find our server to order our first drink. It's not a fancy place and a little homey. read more

Started off bad. Took 25 minutes for our waiter to ask for our drink ORDER. Then he disappeared for a while. Waited another 30 minutes to order our food which we had to flag someone else to get our waiter to come back. Then it took ONE HOUR for the food to come out. What was even more frustrating, was that everyone else around us (some of who who came in after us) was getting their food and leaving. Another thing, they didn't seem to care at all. (+ It was also really dirty where we sat with bugs crawling around the wood, and the food was very bland.) read more

Great service and view but on the patio at sunset it's way too hot to even think. They need more powerful fans. Service was perfect. Drinks weak as usual in Marathon. Good conch fritters. The whole fried yellowtail tasted old or refrozen. Weird texture. Shrimp stuffed with crabs was great though. Too hot to think about dessert. Inside it was cool but the whole inside of the restaurant smelled like the cleaner they use to clean bathrooms. Ugh! That would have been a deal breaker if we were seated indoors. read more

Well, I ordered fried shrimp and they were frozen butterflied shrimp. But they tasted okay. Salad was fresh. Nice view of water. The lady behind us returned her meal. My husband got a fish sandwich and it was edible. Didn't try the drinks. I've had worse in the Keys. read more

I normally don't write reviews however, this place was terrible. For the amount of money you spend on food they should be good. ordered the grouper sandwich, came out cold with the cold fries. Guess they were consistent. I would save your money and go elsewhere. read more

Loved this place, the view, but specially the food and the service. Super fresh lobster and crab also had the soup and the sweet potato fries. If I'm ever in Miami again I would come back. read more

The catch and cook was absolutely delicious but unfortunately the surf and turf was absolutely horrible, steak was over cooked and the yellow tail was terrible. Will go back but will never order food there will always bring cook and catch read more

We had a large party of 12 at Lazy Days South and, unfortunately, the experience was disappointing overall. The bathrooms were dirty, which is never a good first impression and made us question the cleanliness of the restaurant in general. The food was a major letdown. Several dishes were overcooked, and the filet mignon was especially bad--tough, dry, and nowhere near what you'd expect for the price. Two people ordered the ribs and fried shrimp, yet somehow received completely different meals: one plate had small, frozen-style fried shrimp, while the other had fresh, colossal shrimp. That kind of inconsistency is unacceptable. By the end of the meal, half of our group didn't even eat their food because it was that poor. With so many issues--from cleanliness to food quality and consistency--it's hard to justify more than two stars. Very disappointing experience, especially for a large group read more

Pretty cool place. We brought our catch from our fishing and the cooked it for us. We had it 3 different ways and they brought our fish to us family style. Service was great, food was awesome (coconut fried and Jalapeño fried where amazing) read more

Lazy Days South is the jack-of-all-trades eating establishment. Do you want to sit inside and enjoy fresh seafood cooked to order? You can! Do you want to sit outside and enjoy casual dining with maybe a burger, some fries, or a wrap? You can! Would you prefer to sit at the bar and enjoy their Happy Hour menu? Guess what - you can! We aren't locals or regulars at Lazy Days South, since we vacation in Marathon between Christmas and New Years. But over the years, we've learned that Lazy Days South is one of the places we must patronize as much as possible. In a word, the food is outstanding. We recently dined in and our party consisted of 12 people who all have a variety of likes and dislikes. There was something on the menu for everyone and they all enjoyed their dinner. The order ranged from a fried chicken sandwich to a gourmet order of broiled fresh seafood - and everything in between! Thanks to the prompt and friendly service, the food comes out hot and delicious and the drinks are always full. I personally like going in the afternoon to sit at the bar and take advantage of happy hour. The bartenders are always pleasant and at the ready to provide an expertly mixed drink. There is a good selection of draft beers too. I would recommend Lazy Days South because of the variety of choices on the menu, the tastiness and freshness of the food, the quality service, and the whole "sit at the bar and watch football while snacking on reasonably priced bar food" experience. Thank you, Lazy Days South! read more

We stopped by just to try some conch fritters and honestly left astonished as to how good they were. I've had this simple appetizer from different restaurants across the state but this is truly a gem. They felt extremely fresh, warm and just satisfying. I will be coming here in the future just for this appetizer. 10/10 read more

We brought our fresh snapper catch here after going out in the morning on a Two Conch's fishing charter and this was the place to go! They didn't mind that we brought in a lot of fish for 2 people, didn't charge us extra. We got half the fish blackened and half "lazy days" style. We weren't sure which we liked better, both were delicious and a great balance of non-breaded and breaded. So flavorful! Came with french fries. This is right on the water, super casual and island feeling. Whether you have fresh catch or not this is a must-stop for the ambiance and menu. read more

Reservations are not necessary but we did for the holiday weekend, our waiter was overwhelmed and forgetful. Apps delivered before drinks, salads delivered with dinner, it all felt disjointed. The entree was tremendous though incorrect. Probably an off night. read more

I ordered yellowtail snapper and they served me mangrove snapper. Yellowtail is a much higher cost. I notified the server, and as a Florida fisherman explained the difference between the 2 fish.....but nothing was done to correct the mistake. It's not a great idea to assume customers don't recognize passing off lower quality fish. read more

Ordered Fisherman's platter, all fried with dirty oil it was so obvious, the fries were tasteless, service unpleasant felt like we were bothering them when we requested mayo and tartar sauce! I would suggest they get a better chef! read more

Food was delicious! I highly recommend the Grouper sandwich with mango chutney!!! Great place to catch the sunset. Service was good read more

Came here during an deluge of a rain storm For lunch. May have been some of the best dish sandwiches we had all week in Marathon. Everyone in our group of 10 was overly surprised about the quality and flavors. The Parmesan crusted hogfish blew everyone's mind. Beautiful views even in a monsoon. read more

TERRIBLE! I dont know which was worse...the service ir the food. Poor quality in every respect. NEVER AGAIN! Anyone can have an isolated experience...things happen. Mine has been 3 times in a row. Three strikes and they are out (and I'm a local) read more

We brought fresh caught Mahi with Two Conch's here a few weeks ago. It was amazing! Jalapeno encrusted, Lazy Dayz Special and coconut encrusted. See if I can send a pic! Hard to imagine any less than 5 star reviews . We tried another highly rated cook ur catch restaurant that was very good but Lazy Dayz S was much better. First time to Marathon for us! read more

We had a delicious water side dinner here one evening. Amazing seafood! Large portions, reasonably priced, and good service. Get the fried or baked yellowtail! read more

Worst meal I've ever had in years in the Keys. Conch fritters with no conch, margaritas that tasted like water.

Food is generic corporate crap. Nothing fancy but the prices. The sunset was nice but the meal wasn't worth it. We should have known when we got there at 5pm on Friday before sunset and the place was empty. read more

Great meal , love the oysters Moscow with caviar, my wife and I split the broiled seafood platter with lobster shrimp scallops and mahi mahi , enough to share so we had room for key lime pie , the pie was creamy and smooth ! Awesome cocktails read more

We had dinner at Lazy Days South on New Years Day. The original Lazy Days in Islamorada, Fl was my father's favorite restaurant when he was alive so we were excited about this restaurant being close to our vacation home in Marathon, Fl. I am giving this restaurant 2 stars for the nice waitress that served us and the fact that it offers reservations. The food was overpriced and came out cold. My silverware was dirty and there were cats circling our table. We ordered the calamari, tuna tartare, and key west crab cake for appetizers. The crab cake was smothered in the key lime butter which looked liked slightly melted cheese because it was cold. The tuna tartare was not chopped up in to small pieces and the calamari was cold. For dinner we ordered the catch of the day - grouper with the key lime butter which also came out cold, jumbo shrimp and the belings salad. The shrimp was cold and the only thing edible was my salad. Very disappointed in this dining experience and the fact that we wasted close to $300 on food that was not prepared properly. I hope management reads this and realizes they need to make changes in order to restore the reputation of the Lazy Days restaurant. read more

Had my first Hogfish here. Light and flaky, served sauteed on a sandwich. Taste was great and I liked the fact that it was local (which was the point), but texture-wise I should have ordered more crunch. Another first - using my phone flashlight to light the way in the restroom during a power outage. Restaurant staff scurried during the outage to get computers up so it didn't become cash only spot. They did great. No inconvenience at all for us. We sat on the deck and had all the natural light we needed for lunch. We walked in behind a group of firefighters, a sure sign the food would be good. It was. Crunchy, fried Yellow Tail tuna sandwich, breaded and topped with key lime butter got the stamp of approval from my husband. It was overcast day but this was a pleasant stop a little off the beaten path. read more

Not sure what the draw to the restaurant is other than being on the water. Food was overpriced and just tasted off. The conch ceviche was probably the best thing. We had a shrimp scampi which came with more canned mushrooms than shrimp (not sure when scampi had mushrooms) the stuffed shrimp was just stuffed with breading. Our waiter was more interested in clearing tables and going home. Our least favorite place to eat in Marathon read more

We stopped by for breakfast on a Sunday morning. The food was very average and not something I would go out of my way for. However, it was fine for what it was. The egg breakfast (pictured) was a large portion and the prices were reasonable. If you happen to be nearby and want a super basic breakfast, this will work. read more

Food was very expensive and not worth the price. Me and my family tried a few different things and none of them was worth it in our opinion

Restaurant definitely has the lay back feel.to it. View of the bay leading to the ocean with in and outdoor seating available. They take reservations and believe me make them if you're going in the weekend because within a blink of an eye it is completely packed. I'll be honest, the restaurant can definitely need just a tad bit of an upgrade. Just " lighter decor would help since it's kinda dark with all the dark wood tables, walls, and flooring. But who care really cause we came to eat. The menu has so many options and just when you thinknypu know what you want you see something else that looks just as tasty..resolve this by sharing..lol. We started with the conch fritters. OMG it is filled with conch instead of batter. We devoured this and the portion is perfect. They alsongive you complimentary bread and banana bread with butter. Try not.to overindulge be ause it can be filling but do try it all, it was so good and the banana bread tasted like dessert. Going round the table we had a Mediterranean fish like with capers and peppers..absolutely tasty, crab stuffed shrimp (more like crazy stuffed) and damn delicious and filling and I had the sauteed cracked. once with garlic sauce, it was amazing!! We wanted badly to have a dessert or have one of their ecletic pallatas but there was no space left for another bite. This is a fabulous restuarant with fabulous food. You must eat here!!! Also, don't forget bring in your fresh catch and they'll cook it for you just the way you like it! read more

Great service and good food! The banana bread is to die for. Orlando is great and works very hard to make your experience enjoyable.

We Opted for going here for dinner. Just ok. I had prime rib was good but not great. Hubs had fried seafood platter. All thick breading masking the seafood. Key Lime pie was good. Server was just ok. One of the folks in our party ordered a new York strip had a smell to it so he didnt eat it. He mentioned to server but Not one apology only asked do you want another one. Which he replied no, she never offered to comp the steak or adjust any of the bill or even speak to management. Bad service! read more
