Loved this place. Delicious food and cocktails. Server Brandon was excellent and very attentive to us.

The ambience is inviting. It's lively and comfortable. The food is amazing. I always get oysters and the catch of the day. The cocktails are my favorite though! Only complaint is that it can get fairly loud in there sometimes but tolerable. read more

Place is awesome. Bar tender was really kind and had some great ideas of spots to check out in Key West. They also have CBD drinks on tap which I've never seen before. I didn't partake but cool none-the-less. We got some oysters which were on HH so great price and also great taste. Did a few apps and they were all good. The interior had lots of great artwork and the vibe was lowkey and relaxed. Probably could have stayed for longer but needed to keep driving. Service was on point. Will visit again. read more

So impressed! A local recommended My New Joint. It's on top of Square Grouper, which had a long wait for dinner. Not sure why even eat there when My New Joint has such great food, and atmosphere, and no wait list!! We came Saturday night, and there was live music. Loved it! Loved the decor, the artwork, the setup, the jellyfish, and the joint-themed pieces.. so entertaining just looking around the room! The service was fantastic, so was the drinks, and food. I loved the HOT BOX martini; Effen cucumber vodka with grapefruit and Jalapeño, the perfect amount of kick! My husband got a Manhattan with a delicious piece of bacon in it. For dinner we got: 1. Gumbo soup bowl was delicious 2. Mac N cheese was boring.. our least favorite item, just seemed bland like it needed a sharper stronger cheese. But it looks pretty. 3. Roasted Radishes with goat cheese was the BEST!! I've never seen radishes get their own appetizer, it's usually just a garnish! So had to order this unique dish and holy shit it was delicious! 4. Fresh catch fish tacos were really good. 5. Fresh catch entree was swordfish and my husband loved it. Everything was delicious and what a cool place this is!! We will be back!! read more

We tried this place while visiting the keys. It had a good vibe and the food was so dang good. Highly recommend to anyone visiting Cudajoe

Dear My New Joint, I adore peel and eat shrimp and I order them frequently when I am here, but I just can't deal with the poop vein anymore. Is there some way you can please clean the vein out before you steam them? The ones I had last night had huge gritty veins. I try to get it out myself but it is messy and smears everywhere. Ugh!!!! read more

Here right now for the second day in a row. Wasn't planning on coming here either day tbh but no reservations at LPI were avail. If you look at my reviews, they are sparse and I only write when it's horrible or amazing. The food here is BOMB! Service fine but it was busy. 2nd night (now) service is still ok. Not why we came though...the food is SO good. So much that we wanted to come back a second night and we're leaving in 2 days. We give 10/10 for the Buffalo wings, Parmesan cauliflower, SWORDFISH, salad, brussel sprouts and pretzel. A super nice service bartender named Amanda made night #2 awesome. ***To the owner: food is 10/10 but your service got a 10 tonight for Amanda engaging with us the way she did. Great example of service that an owner should look for. read more

Great and friendly service always!! Gotta get here when the doors open or you will wait!! Always a wonderful experience..!

BEST customer service as always when we eat here !!!! we love sitting with ray & ian at the bar !! good food for great prices !

Awesome place with creative menu and amazing staff I am former hospitality so appreciate when a restaurant goes above and beyond , and this restaurant does on all levels. Sure it's called a " Lounge" but it's so much more then that. Cool decor and even better menu and service I love the Keys - a lot .....but so many of the restaurants rely on the same options. Don't get me wrong I love me some conch fritters and calamari as much as the next gal, but I get sick of seeing them on every restaurant menu over and over. This place really offers a lot of creativity both with food and drinks. Had a few oysters at the bar with Ray as my bartender and grabbed some empanadas to go One single negative - no outdoor seating ( damn Covid) - but rumor has it that may change some day I'll keep stopping by and grabbing some drinks and oysters at the bar and food to go ( the hubby is immunocompromised so his food will have to be to-go) I look forward to trying pork belly tacos and the tots and the sliders and the cauliflower and the radishes and ........ This place just makes me happy and during these crazy times everyone could use a little more happy in life read more

The food is outstanding! Drinks were good with nice specials!! Music was great!!! Service excellent!!! The bathroom sink bowl is the coolest sink ever!!! read more

Great coffee! Very friendly and helpful staff:) Decided to try based on locals recommendations, and they were right! As soon as you walk in the fresh smells of coffee and food fills your nose. Girlfriend loved the mocha coffee! read more

Hands down one of the best bars/restaurants I have ever had the pleasure to walk into. This will be only my second review ever of anywhere as I work in the industry & don't really rely or care about such things... 18 years bartending/serving. The drinks were made, muddled, & shaken with care, seems to be a full service bar with several choices.. more of a tapas food place & it was spectacular, Jay the bar-manager? I'm assuming, was clearly one of the best people I've seen behind a bar, ever. If you go be sure to oogle & sample the bartender's wears & the hands down BEST most eclectic menu in the area good job my hats off people read more

I don't think we've ever stayed in Cudjoe and not have made time for a drink and appetizer at my new joint! The music is always good, the drinks are always strong and the service is always great. The art is mostly all Derek Deyoung and I'm a huge fan of his! Lovely neighborhood spot that I got to with my family that lives right down the street with. Also I highly recommend going there if you're traveling through or staying close by. read more

I'm a fan of Square Grouper, but I actually like their upstairs joint even better. Great cocktail list, large selection of beer, etc. They have live performers daily if you like that atmosphere, even have the menu of performers posted down stairs. I recommend the Gumbo (amazing), peel & eat shrimp and the shrimp & grits. Very chill lounge atmosphere & you will call it your favorite joint... read more

My New Joint - Peel & Eat Shrimp! - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Cudjoe Key, Florida

Ducked in to see what all the buzz is about and because I found a book of matches promoting the joint. So; * Awesome decor * Cool vibe * Live music * Bar is legit, inviting, well situated in the room * Popular with all ages * Casual attire, but classier than the tiki bar scene * Good food, awesome portions * Hottie waitresses, and good service * Private room in back for events * Better than average wine selection I wanted to eat seafood and tried to order fish off of the specials menu and they were sold out not one, but 2 fish dishes. Sad face. But I got a skirt steak and it rocked. Loved it. Put the fries in baskets. It will photograph better and you will have less waste. See you there! Cabeza OUT! read more

We looooove My New Joint. They have a smaller menu than down stairs but we like it better. A rotating menu of specials along with their staple menu items, delicious cocktails served by awesome staff. We frequent it often and that won't change any time soon. read more

Loved it! We couldn't stop talking about this place! Not knowing what to expect, we went upstairs and was amazed. The place looks awesome, great live music and plenty of seating and games. The Lollipops wings were our favorite although we weren't expecting Shrimp & grits on the menu, which were super yummy! read more

Great food and service. Brian Robert's is an accomplished guitarist and vocalist and made for a terrific night.

This place deserves 4.5 stars. Enjoyable atmosphere, good entertainment, fun mixed drinks and a nice beer selection. Like it better than the restaurant downstairs. More fun! Liked the smoked fish dip! Fresh! (Wish they would have given us a bit more and I don't like the crackers they serve with it - crackers have too much flavor that it detracts from the fish) Chili tots were pretty good. Large portion. Hogfish sandwich with slaw was also pretty good (thou my reason for the .5 star subtraction- as I don't think it was fresh catch, but maybe a day old or so). Still, liked the bun and the flavors with combo with the slaw. Garden salad was excellent! Homemade dressing!! Great veggies. read more

I legitimately can't recommend this place highly enough. The entire experience was phenomenal. We had the Z. brown red blend, which was nice and smooth, as well as Ian's creation of the day the purple haze (fantastic). We had the smoked fish dip as well as the steak sliders. Don't miss this establishment, from the ambiance, to the staff, to the food this place is killing it. I could write plenty more but go there and check it out for yourself. Ian is the man. read more

Visited last night for happy hour. Party of 7. The server seemed annoyed that she had to describe the happy hour drink specials. It's was 5:50.... happy goes until 6:30. The happy hour has drink specials only. Which is why I rated it the way I did. It really needs to include some happy hour food specials. The food was way overpriced. The smoked fish dip $14 and was a tiny portion and only a few crackers. The pretzel $14 with three dipping sauces was good size portion but expensive for what you get. Overall the drinks were pretty good. The place is very loud. read more

nice place! food was outstanding, but martinis were better! great knowledgeable friendly staff.

Let me say that our first experience with this restaurant was top notch, excellent service and food. However...we were just turned away because we brought our catch this evening and were informed that they "do not do that here". This is my first experience in 53 years of a restaurant in the Keys that wouldn't prepare your fresh catch. Needless to say we were very disappointed and hope this review first off reaches the management to perhaps review their policy and secondly saves someone else from the trouble. read more

Excellent! Upstairs lounge of Square Grouper. Grouper was packed, busy because of Ke Westernfest weekend. Went upstairs to My New Joint for likkur while waiting for an open table. Great bar with great food too. Ordered delicious spicy seafood gumbo in a big bowl, very filling, stone crabs. Live band, music, food, likkur, conversation with others, cancelled dinner downstairs at the Grouper, lol. Perfect choice if dining room is packed, busy and you're hungry, thirsty. Both locations are great. read more

The best black and blue stake flatbread! The best bartender, Tanaka the best service hands down!

Have been coming to the Square Grouper for years and wanted to try there new venture my new joint. The place is sleek, new and shiny!!! Very impressed with the new place. We went up to the bar and were immediately greeted by nick the bartender. He had some great suggestions for cocktails and appetizers. He was spot on and we tried the shrimp voodoo, shrimp and grits, buffalo lollipop shrimp, portobello fries and empanadas. The food and drinks were finom!!!! It is a Florida Keys Mu read more

Worst customer service I've ever experienced. after a 5 hour drive to the keys, we stopped in for a late night dinner an hour before closing to grab a quick takeout order. We tried calling twice to make sure we could get in, but no one picked up the phone so we drove right there. at 10 PM on the dot we arrived at the venue and saw there was about 15 patrons drinking and eating. We had to flag down service and put in our to go order with the bartender who then proceeded to make a HUGE scene about how the kitchen staff is going to hate us. We debated just leaving then, but due to the fact that nothing else was open and we hadn't eaten in hours, we decided to put up with the remarks. Then, two kitchen staff came out and audibly exclaimed "this has gotta be a JOKE". the second cook came out and refused us service and the bartender who we initially made the order with just ignored us without apologizing for the inconvenience at all. 0/10 experience - would never go back again. Only bright side is we probably avoided eating food that they would've spit in. read more

One of our favorite date night spots in the area! We're a little limited as far as quality date night spots in the area. But my new joint totally fits the bill. Great staff that always make you feel so welcome. Special shout to Ofy on the floor, and Ian behind the bar! They're our favorites. Great food, great drinks, funky vibes, always great live music, great staff - always consistent! Love this place. read more

So glad to have stoped and eaten dinner here. The Jamaican style empanada we're bold and flavorful. The tuna poke was fresh decent portion and great presentation. The gumbo has a kick just as it should and I dare say it's better than the gumbo I have had in New Orleans !! Amazing beer selection and live music every night!!! I know !! But wait it gets even better the staff is exceptional. Rey's old fashion is the keys in a drinking glass.what a gem!! read more

Tried this place for the first time. Was not disappointed. Music was a little loud but food was great
