At the recommendation of friends, our Day 1 Supper was at Mrs. Mac's Kitchen II (also called Mrs. Mac's Kitchen (Big) on Google Maps). Having arrived at 4:30pm, we were immediately shown to a table and informed about the happy hour specials. Not normally ones to drink much on vacation, my wife and I instead opted to live in the moment and enjoy the island life, especially since it was 30 degrees when we left Ohio that morning. As such, we each ordered a rum punch (pictured), while my best friend ordered a Bulliet old fashioned and his wife a house margarita. With drink orders out of the way, Deja, our absolutely delightful waitress, took our food orders: sauteed seafood combo (for my wife), backyard BBQ burger with coleslaw (for me), burger and fries (for my BFF and his wife, who -unlike us- were smart enough to save room for dessert). While waiting for our meals, we took in the ambiance of the restaurant, and wow was there a lot to take in! First off, we loved how the old Pizza Hut building had been repurposed and transformed into the embodiment of the tropical island lifestyle. From the display tables showcasing seashells and historic Florida Keys photos, to the license plate light fixtures, to the ceiling-mounted blue sky and clouds panels, to the fish hanging in front of each distinctively Pizza Hut trapezoidal window, we loved it all! When our food arrived, it looked fantastic and tasted even better. My wife described her seafood combo as being excellent, with the Caribbean lobster "almost as good as the ones we get in Maine." Likewise, her fish was fresh and delicious, while the shrimp were succulent. My burger was cooked to a perfect medium-rare and was topped with expertly caramelized onions and bacon with just the right amount of crispness to it. My coleslaw side was also excellent, with the perfect balance of creaminess and zing. Our friends also said their burger and shoestring fries were fantastic. To round out our meal, each of the four of us ordered pieces of Key Lime Pie, which was some of the best I have ever had in my life (and I have eaten a lot of Key Lime Pies!)! Throughout our meal, Deja checked on us often without being overbearing, and kept the drinks flowing. All told, for 5 drinks, 3 entrées with sides, and 4 slices of Key Lime Pie, our bill before tax, tip, and credit card surcharge was $163.93. Considering the excellent food and outstanding service we received, the four of us universally agreed it was well worth the price! Pros: outstanding service, fantastic flavours, great atmosphere, and the 2-for-1 drinks during happy hour were a great deal! Cons: none! Overall we rate Mrs. Mac's Kitchen as being Excellent and cannot wait to go back! read more

Horrible service. Waiter is super unfriendly and couldn't care less he got my whole order wrong. Horrible service. Very disappointing. read more

This place has personality and is cute! The Great: An excellent Espresso Martini The Good: Carrot Cake The Bad: The server was so scatter brained. Friendly, but talked a little too much and didn't write anything down, so kept forgetting things. The Ugly: Unsure about the entire restaurant, but our table was dirty. Like old dirty. Not like, they didn't wipe it down, but more like it had never seen a deep clean and stuff just kept accumulating. I had the shrimp and corn chowder. It was very watery. We enjoyed the desserts. I'm not sure if I would come back though. I'm just wondering if the whole restaurant is dirty like our table. read more

After visiting the smaller place of "Mrs Mac Kitchen" we decided on our way back from Key West to stop for lunch at the bigger "Mrs Mac Kitchen". We had two times the soup of the day, a wedge salad and sweet potato fries plus our drinks (coke, ginger ale and beer with and without alcohol). In total we paid $59.36. The food was good, but the soup was a little salty. The staff was nice and friendly. Overall I would give 3.5 stars, rounded do 4. Would I go again? Probably not, I would look for something else. read more

Did not like it here. Weird vibe as soon as we got there. Guy said Lunch? We said yes. Then turned and ran to a table. Overpriced for what you get.! Fries were BLAH!! Waffle fries were just as bad. Soup good but bowl was $9 Shrimp poor boy $20 For 6 shrimp and bread. Only one sever and she was rushing around like crazy. Lunch 2 sandwiches 1 soup $63 Better options available on this road. read more

The big location!!! It's on the "Island" in the highway! This place is more of an upscale diner vibe ! They have a lot of really cool artwork on the walls and each table is a glass shadowbox of different local things! This place has a lot of heritage and definitely screams to tourist vibe ! Their Keylime pie shake and Keylime pie slice is very good. This is the first place I stopped to get a slice of Keylime pie! Overall, the space is awesome. I would avoid peak hours because it will be full, but if you're able to go a little earlier a little bit later at night, you'll have no problem finding somewhere to sit. read more

We did online ordering that said up in 60 minutes. When we went to pick it up, everything was cold and soggy. There were no utensils or tartar sauce with the meal. We called to complain and they acknowledge that the food had been sitting for 45 minutes waiting for us. What? Their app said 60 minutes. Not our problem. They offered to remake the food but we were so tired and disgusted we said no thanks. Very bad experience. read more

Stopped by for the key lime pie, which was pretty tasty. The peanut butter pie was the real show stopper, though. Would definitely stop by again. read more

Both locations of Mrs. Mac's were on my must-visit list in the Florida Keys after our snorkeling trip. I had hoped to try the original (smaller) spot, but it closes early in the afternoon. Since we took our time after snorkeling, we ended up at the newer, larger location, which stays open all day. We arrived around 3:15 p.m. to find it nearly empty--just two tables of guests and a couple of people at the bar. The space is open and quiet- very relaxed vibe. Our waitress was sweet. My daughter wanted mahi, and I was eyeing the coconut shrimp, so she suggested we get the mahi and shrimp basket and upgrade it to coconut shrimp. Great call! Both the mahi and the coconut shrimp were outstanding--fresh, tender, juicy, and clearly caught that day. The batter was thin, crisp, and perfectly light. We also ordered a Greek salad, which was unbelievably fresh; every ingredient was delicious and full of flavor. No exaggeration--this was the best mahi, coconut shrimp, and Greek salad I've had for a long time. We also tried a bowl of conch chowder for the first time. It was good--rich and hearty--but tasted similar to other quality chowders. Highly recommend Mrs. Mac's larger location for a quiet, mid-afternoon meal. You won't be disappointed! read more

Mrs Mac's Kitchen II - Table - American Near Me - Key Largo, Florida

New Owners !? Good or Bad !? Food was good ... high lights were oddly enough the onion rings & their version of French fries, it was like thick Fried potato chips. Homemade Cole slaw good 2 Crab cakes - good but thin for $28 Coconut shrimp was & plentiful - ok Key lime pie had no traditional tartness to it & small for $6 Bloody Mary all bland & low quality weird chemical taste , but waitress never tried to ask if we wanted another or something else. Soda also never given a refill request. The place only had 4 active tables & the service was very inattentive, the waitress staff spent more time huddled gossiping, than minding the guest. Ambiance of an old Pizza Hut, with No music. read more

we only had a couple of small plates and appetizers, which were pretty average and nothing to speak of. However, the whole family agreed the Keylime pie was the best we had had up and down the entire stretch of keys. Worth a stop just for the pie. read more

I would have scored a 4 if service had been better. Although friendly, our waiter left a lot to be desired, such as napkins and a glass of water that never arrived. The bar drinks were good. My sister was told they were out of pillar rum when there were 6 bottles decorating the bar. Perhaps they were just for decor? The chilli was very delicious and had great heat. Although our burger was ordered with a medium temp, and arrived well and a bit dry, there was enough bbq sauce on it to make up for the oversight. The key lime pie was very good, but not the best we've had in Key Largo. The carrot cake was all 5 stars in its mile high cream cheese topper! Overall, we had a good experience and I hope they were just short staffed. To come and collect glasses and say, hey those must have been good and walk away, instead of asking if we want another wasn't what we were expecting or we would have bounced on that when he arrived. We had to ask for any refills, again the water and napkins we asked for never arrived. Perhaps if he wasn't chatty Kathy at every table, he could take better care of others. Would I come back? Yes, the food was good and just hope tonight's service was a fluke. read more

Looks like an old Pizza Hut converted to a bar and restaurant. Bartender friendly and fast. Lots of people eating and having a wonderful time. Onion rings are phenomenal! Folks steady came in the doors until the place was full. Waitstaff knocked it out of the park keeping up with the dinner crowd! Well done indeed! read more

The mahi was incredible - we both had it but in different sandwiches. My husband had the Fishwich and I had the Jelly Fishwich. Not a fishy bite was had. The dining room was very cute and kitschy. Happy hour specials from 3 to 6pm - and my espresso martini was delicious read more

GET THE KEY LIME PIE! I would skip the food, it was mediocre and theres better places to eat, although I will say that the fish dip and chili dog were about as good as those things get, but even a really good chili dog isn't that good. Come for the key-sy ambiance and the key lime pie, which was the best we've had in the keys, and we tried the pie at most every restaurant that had it. Better than kermit's. read more

This place has THE BEST KEY LIME PIE, no question. My wife & I spent a week in the keys tasting different key lime pies all the way from the upper keys to the lower keys. We had to double back here just for the key lime pie. Do yourself a favor and get it. read more

Best key lime pie I've ever had! We bought two to take home and when I came back 4 years later, it was still fantastic!

Decided to stop here on our family vacation. This is the big dinner, as opposed to the small one, which operates on shorter hours. The service and food were excellent all around. The place is ocean themed and has great decor. They do not have a military discount; however, the owner/manager gave us a free piece of key lime pie, which was excellent. I highly recommend you stop by. read more

This place came very highly recommended, and we really wanted to like it. But, honestly, I didn't think it was that great. Very pricey. I had the Lobster Bites and my wife ordered the Shrimp sandwich. The lobster bites weren't bad, but you only get maybe 5 and a ton of fries (for over $30!!). My wife got her sandwich and realized it was just fish, not shrimp so they had to make her a new one. Coleslaw and fries were good. The waitress wasn't the most accommodating person, and the key lime pie was just meh.... The restraint itself is just a big building with not much character or ambiance. Maybe if you're a big fish eater you'd find something better on the menu, but I probably won't go back read more

Food is delicious! I love the whole fried snapper. The Key Lime pie is a must!! Even if you historically don't like key lime pie, try it, I never liked it until I had it here. Couldn't recommend more! read more

We stopped into this adorable restaurant on our way to Key West. We were greeted and served by Elizabeth, who took great care of us and was a super hospitable. Everything we ordered was excellent: coconut shrimp, broken conch, and crab cake sandwich. Our meals came with great sauces to complement the dish, but we could order any sauce we wanted. Their Cole slaw is house made and fantastic. I'm glad we stopped in and we hope to make this a regular stop on our next Key West vacation! read more

Classic American diner vibes serving burgers, fish, and steaks. Their entrees are filling, and we ordered the catch of the day (mahi mahi) which comes with a side salad and a side. The fish was cooked well, but could use a little more flavor. We chose the vegetable of the day as the side and it tasted like a boiled bag of frozen vegetables, so I definitely don't recommend that. We chose this place for their key lime pie and it did not disappoint. It was more like a frozen custard and delicious throughout. read more

Stopped in here on the way to the airport back home and the food was delicious. Service was good, but if they are gonna be on their cell phones, they may want to do it in an area where customers cannot see them. read more

We came here for brunch on a Sunday. We enjoyed every dish. Service was very friendly and engaging. I definitely appreciated our server providing their specials & recommendations. Kid friendly. Full bar service. Ambiance is FL Keys Beach & Ocean inspired. Comfortable seating. Large booth sizes which was perfect for 2 adults 1 child one side. I definitely recommend the Key Lime Colada. read more

Food was just average. Not hot and over easy eggs were medium. People were friendly and coffee was good.

Mrs Mac's is worth the stop! Key lime pie was fantastic, atmosphere was fun, large soda cup, and food was great.

Loved Mrs Macs for the 5th time, they have the best key lime pie in thr Keys and we have tried them all over! Daniella (Dani?) was an amazing server, we tried to catch her at another restaurant she was working at but missed her by a few minutes. Food is really good and they have ice cold beer. Definitely recommend this place to anyone I know going to the Keys!! read more

A wonderful breakfast, great service, and fun vibes. The hostess, Debbie, was so friendly and seated us right away, and our waitress was friendly and quick. I ordered the caramel bacon waffle (to die for!) and my husband got a breakfast sandwich, which he loved. I can't recommend the bacon caramel waffle enough, plus a side of bacon which was crispy and delish. We ate outside, but the inside was huge and decorated super cute and cozy vibes. read more

Food: 4.5. What a good vibe from this restaurant. Staff was very friendly when we came in. We were promptly seated. I asked a few questions and I felt like the server was honest with me. I asked about certain items and he recommended others. We ordered the key lime freeze, key lime pie, fish tacos, fried catch of the day, chili, and spicy shrimp. Food came out timely and at the right temperature. My faves were the fish tacos, key lime pie, fried fish, and freeze. I forgot how much I enjoy key lime flavor. Thank you for reminding me.

Our server was wonderful, I wish I remembered her name. She was serving and bartending and doing fabulous at both. We got the mozzarella sticks, they were good for what they were. Nothing to write home about, but hit the spot nonetheless. I got the crab cake sandwich and it was the best I've had, so flavorful and not dry. I upgraded my fries to the Parmesan fries and they were very good as well. My fiancé got the chicken Parmesan sandwich with sweet potato fries and raved about it as well. For drinks we had the key lime colada 10/10 and the dragonfruit-Rita read more

This was our final option for trialing some sea food while on our adventures in key west. This joint is their second location and right by the hwy 1 and can be accessed driving in from both directions. We stoped by for a weekday lunch with the intent to try alligator bites. The menu is extensive and I strongly recommend going with their fish of the day options. We tried both to r fish of the day plate (mahi mahi) and fish do the day wrap (yellowtail). Both were excellent and better than the original gator bites we stopped for. (Which we're pretty decent but the fish of the day was seasoned and cooked just right) We finished with their trademark key lime pie which for me was just average but the other party members loved it over the other key lime pies we had tried while in key west. Definitely worth a stop!! read more

Disappointed. Picked up a pie to go otw home from Key West. I've had a slice of Mrs. Mac's key lime pie before at a party and thought it was amazing. However, the pie I got today is completely different. It has zero of the tartness I remembered and which made it so good. Just got a very sweet limey sad pie for $30. Unrelatedly, the woman at the counter wasn't the friendliest. Honestly, it would have mattered less to me if the pie was at least worth it. read more

I had just gone snorkeling not too far from here and decided I wanted to try some of the local cuisine. They were not terribly busy when I arrived, but it does seem as if the wait staff is having to run to keep up with the tables. My server was certainly a very pleasant man, but he seemed a little overextended and disorganized. When I showed them my coupon for the free Keylime freeze, he had to get some extended help from the manager to push it through. Not a big deal of course. The Freeze itself was interesting but nothing life-changing. I opted to get the catch of the day which was mahi-mahi. As is my habit I got it blackened, which was very good with a nice crispy finish to it. The Caesar salad and rice and beans on the side were both very good as well. The Keylime pie ended up being no better than any Keylime pie I've had most anywhere else. Perhaps this is a dish that just can't be made too many ways to begin with. The room itself was uncomfortable as it was rather hot outside, and I suspect their air-conditioning may not be working at 100%. Overall for what it was my experience was fine, but I don't think I would particularly want to go back. read more

What can you say!?! Fantastic as always!!! We will be back!!!! See you then!!! we love the fish sandwich!!! SERVICE is always good!!! Ambiance is nice, but really like the original one better!!!! read more
