They instituted total valet parking which is annoying. It smells bad at low tide which they have no control over and the food is meh.

Key Lime House is one of those places where it's easy to lose track of time. Sitting right on the Intracoastal with those waterfront views? Instant vacation mode. Grab an ice-cold beer or something fun from the full bar , kick back, and watch the boats cruise by. It's the perfect spot to chill with friends, catch up, and soak in that laid-back Florida vibe. The live band kept the energy going, and the music was just the right mix of fun without taking over the conversation. The food and drinks hit the spot, the atmosphere is lively, and it's super easy to get to. The only reason I'm stopping at four stars? There's always room for that little extra sparkle. If you're looking for great views, good tunes, cold drinks, and a place to unwind with your crew, this one is definitely worth a visit. read more

Old Key Lime House - Sunday funday on the waterfront at Old Key lime house. - Seafood Near Me - Lantana, Florida

I wanted to give more stars, I really did. But I can't. Let's start with the positives though... PROS: - Busy front entrance; organized and speedy valet service helps a lot - GREAT setup on the water, very large establishment with many seating areas & levels to choose from - Live band gets a star from me every time! - The ambiance is very "tiki-tastic"... colourful lighting & the open air concept adds to the setting CONS: - The taste of my meal was 2 stars for sure... the salmon burger I ordered was mushy and mediocre-tasting - Prices were average but should be lower based on the meals presented - As much as the seating is plentiful there was none available. Be forewarned, the place gets packed! - The staff was rude. At one point we were just kinda wandering around looking for bar seating, and were reluctantly helped when we stopped to ask a question. And by reluctantly I mean eye roll, attitude voice & microaggressive moves like sighing & curt comments. I actually would've said 'one person's actions doesn't define the place' but we got similar frost at the host stand upon entry when being added to the wait list for a table - Not the fault of the restaurant, but the rotten egg smell of the algae in the water was really strong & highly off putting The negatives outweighed the positives for this first-time visit. I will go back one day but I'm in no rush for now... first impressions are the lasting ones. read more

I recently visited this restaurant for lunch as a way to thank a friend for his help, and the experience was very pleasant overall. The atmosphere was calm and relaxing, creating a comfortable setting for our meal. I ordered the key lime chicken tacos, which were slightly spicy but very flavorful. The beer‑battered onion rings were exceptionally crispy and delicious. My friend chose the fried grouper sandwich with fries and commented that it was very good and impressively not greasy. For dessert, I tried the key lime pie with a pecan crust. While I appreciated the creativity, it wasn't my favorite. I found the crust less appealing, and the filling could have used a bit more tartness to achieve that classic key lime balance. Despite the dessert not meeting my expectations, the overall dining experience was enjoyable, and the quality of the food and atmosphere made for a pleasant lunch. read more

The Old Key Lime House is a definite stop for anyone passing through the area and a fun location for locals to enjoy a bite and view of the water. Yes it attracts a lot of tourists and can get quite busy. Valet parking is complimentary. As locals , we took a weekday ride along AIA and somehow found ourselves in the neighborhood without any hesitation to stop for late lunch. I had been there before but he had not and thoroughly enjoyed the old car at the entrance and the fish and pirates as we entered. We were seated immediately at a waterfront table as there were no big crowds at the time. I ordered mahi tacos - very good - and he ordered a grouper sandwich with sides of fries and creamed spinach (different) We both agreed, after having the Key Line Pie (not cheap) we would return in a heartbeat as it had to be the best I've ever tasted!!! read more

Key lime is a on the water live music vibe spot. We tend to frequent during the winder or colder days (I know cold in FL) but wear light clothing and come to drink!!! Bang bang shrimpnis great!!! Bartenders are all awesome service is pretty quick depending if you are a busy bar or have a server at your table. read more

The ambience is really cool for drinks! We came on a Friday night and the band playing live music was awesome. We had never really eaten here besides a a slice of pie, but we had a gift card. I went in with low expectations, knowing this place is all about the dock bar destination. We started with the fish dip, which was heavy on the mayo. Not one of the better ones we've had but it was alright. The dinner really wasn't very good. I got the blackened mahi sandwich with fries. Fries were soggy and the mahi was over-salted. My wife had the tacos and she said they were only ok. The side of rice she got was overcooked until crispy. Our server, Alfred, however, was great, and made sure we were having a good time. We'll come back for a slice of pie and/or drinks, but the entrees were disappointing. read more

Great place! Huge! So many options to sit - both inside and outside. Good food & drinks. Service was awesome. Live music! Will definitely be back! Loved all the TVs for watching Sports. They even had a giant screen in the water - which was awesome! read more

This place has really gone downhill in terms of the food. I mean ... this is probably some of the worst restaurant food I've ever eaten. Nothing is fresh ... the menu is very limited ... and it tastes like something I could get at a Wa Wa gas station. It's really quite terrible. The atmosphere is cool. It's a tiki bar on steroids with several seating areas and views of the bay. At night, there is a big movie screen floating next to the dining areas which shows the basketball games ... and most nights there is live music. It's not usually good live music ... but a guitar player and a singer. The tiki bar side is the fun side ... you have cafeteria style seating on the other side ... and a few cool tables along a long dock with water on both sides. On most days, there is a long wait, even if the restaurant looks half full. The food is so bad. First of all, you would expect a lot of fresh seafood from a restaurant which sits on a marina, right near the ocean in Florida. Most of their seafood is frozen and fried. They have fried shrimp, grouper bites, fried fish tacos, nachos, fried foods and the worst burger I've ever eaten. The only sandwich that's actually 'fresh' fish is their blackened or grilled grouper sandwich. It tasted rubbery and chewy and was very thin. The grouper bites were basically really fishy tasting deep fried pieces of fish with a slimy inside and outer coating which slid right off the fish. The drinks are expensive ... but strong. The famous key lime pie is just average. It's 60% whipped cream and 40% key lime. It doesn't really have the tartness of a good key lime pie. It's much sweeter than Joe's Stone Crab's famous key lime pie. Very sugary and I doubt they actually make it fresh by grating the lime zest in. I would absolutely order a piece just to try it ... but don't believe the hype. Overall, this is an institution which has been around for a century. I find myself returning each time I am in the area, although each time the food seems to get worse. Come here to drink and have a good time and keep your expectations of the menu low. The menu needs an overhaul. read more

Sitting on the Tiki with good friends is awesome. Complimenting the evening with great service from Tina made it priceless. I really enjoyed the vibe on a slower night. Learned something: The owner is from Maryland, so that means authentic Maryland-style seafood. I tested the steamed shrimp and the crab cake. AUTHENTIC (add "hon" if from Baltimore). "I'll be back!" Tina, you made our night great. All the best to you. read more

I've always been a fan of Old Key Lime and I still appreciate the food, great atmosphere and being near the water but I have NEVER been charged .25 for asking for extra pickles for my smash burger. That is insane to me. I am a "extra pickles" girl so I ask for them everywhere and never have I been charged extra for them. The waitress even said when I asked "well there are some already on there" never said there would be an extra charge. It's only .25 cent but the principal. Come on Old Key Lime. Are y'all that hard pressed for a buck? read more

I went there Sunday evening and asked to leave because I was wearing a cut/leather vest in support of my U.S. Military/Law Enforcement organization. I know they have the right to refuse service to whoever they want and as a veteran who supports free speech, I paid my tab and left to another local restaurant that is ok with veterans and law enforcement. read more

This is a great spot on the waterfront with beautiful views! This place has a large capacity with plenty of servers to make sure you have everything you need. We got our order in quickly & as we were waiting, they had Keylime pie slices walking around so we picked one up to try. That pie is worth getting. It's super creamy smooth with a little tartness. It wasn't long before our entire table of six were served. I ordered the salmon burger with fries. The salmon burger is packed thick and flavorful. The fries are real slices of potatoes that are fantastic-maybe a little heavy on the seasoning. I also tried their shrimp tacos. They definitely have some flavorful spicy seasoning packed in there with the corn and bean salsa. My only complaint is my father-in-law asked for an extra side of dressing with 3 different people, and no one ever came with it. Also, nobody came to refill our drinks. The food is that good though you should definitely try this spot out & it's not overpriced. It's got a fun flair decor and a few big screen TVs to watch some sports they had on the Winter Olympics. read more

I met up with some friends here and we sat outside on the deck overlooking the water. On a weekday in the early afternoon, there were not that many other people out here to bother us while we were doing our day drinking. I managed to find a spot on the street so I didn't have to hand over my keys to the valet which was a plus. Their version of a Cobb Salad was interesting with something called "Forbidden black rice" that threw me out of ketosis. Otherwise, the salad was tasty and the tomatoes and lettuce were fresh. Blue cheese was tasty and there was enough bacon. A friend got a slice of their Key Lime Pie and while they brought enough forks to share, he did not. It looked fabulous. A quick thank you to the waitress who risked her tip by telling a dude to put out his cigar. Cigar smoking is not allowed on the outside patio.

Took the family to Old Key Lime House. The service was great. We sat outside and it was pleasant even with the heat. The smoked fish dip was good. I had the Mahi sandwich grilled. My guests had shrimp and one had a grouper sandwich. The fish and chips was battered as expected not too greasy. Back to the grilled mahi sandwich..it was tough and hard to cut without shredding..very disappointing. The key lime pie was good. There are so so many better establishments to go in S Palm Beach County probably won't be back soon. read more

First of all, Michelle bartender at Tiki Bar is incredible! As is the water and vibe. Moved here in September, so I'm a local... today was my first visit to Old Key Lime House. Asked about the crab cake... highly recommended, as no filler .. yall, that is true, but if it's three ounces... for$26, I'd be surprised. (Pictured below.) Mashed potatoes (also recommended...) gluey and gloopy... made my own to fold it into. (Pictured below.) Star of the show? Crumbled key lime pie!!! Awesome! So I'd recommend going for the view, tiki bar and crumbled key lime pie... skip dinner, you'll thank me! read more

Love this place. Sure it's a bit worn down but that's part of the charm. When you're here you don't care much about ANYTHING! Great spot for some drinks and the chow is good. Find what you like and stick to it. The Crab Cakes are fantastic. They are pricey, which may not fit in with your idea of spending a lot of cash at a place like this... just saying they're maybe the best thing. Can get them as an entree (2) with sides, as an app, or as a sandwich with one side. I like the shrimp dishes... Peel and Eat (I get them naked), Bam Bam Shrimp. Chicken Wings are good. Hummus very good too. Of course the Key Lime Pie is awesome. VERY HIGHLY RECOMMENDED read more

So I had forgotten about this gem. Came here with a friend but didn't have time to stay for dessert so we had to go back. The Wayne o sandwich is my favorite and the key lime pie was perfect. The setting is beautiful and servers were friendly. Can't wait to go back. read more

Why in the world would a Florida restaurant use Swai, Vietnamese fish, in the Fish & Chips?

Old Key Lime House is a landmark waterside bar and restaurant with a location that's been around for decades. The place is absolutely massive with about 5 bars and seating areas, there's plenty of space to grab a meal or drink with a great view of the inter coastal. Service is pretty quick and friendly, and very well staffed. The food is about what you would expect from a casual waterfront spot, with plenty of classics and seafood. The namesake key lime pie is pretty fantastic too. It's a more homemade style, with a super thick crust and more whipped cream than you'd know what to do with. Overall, highly recommend swinging by at least once to try out this historic dockside location. read more

Not a whole lot worth writing about. Everything we ordered came out overcooked. Salmon was dry, grouper was dry, fries were just this side of burnt, and for restaurant named Key Lime, I'm honestly not sure why they think their key lime pie is good... Service was fine though not great at watching for empty glasses. Live music was really good. read more

Located right on the water in Lake Worth there's valet parking in front and if you're lucky you may be able to find a spot on I just love this family run waterside restaurant. Super casual with a real Key West party vibe.

Live music almost every night of the week. Fresh seafood, and great drinks! read more

I guess there was a lot of things on the menu with something in each I wouldn't like, but with a message like "Modifications and substitutions politely declined" in red bold letters makes you feel like you shouldn't even bother to ask. I did ask for a slice of lime and it never would've come if we didn't go ask for it. I settled for a wedge salad because I never had one that was awful. I was nervous of the buttermilk dressing instead of blue cheese and told our server, and he said he would put it in the side. My husband went with fish and chips. Well, I was wrong: the wedge was huge and looked great, but there was something in it that was an off taste. I thought maybe it was the dressing, but I don't think it was. I tried everything by itself, but the acrid like taste was so imbedded in my mouth, I couldn't be sure what it was. I actually think it may have been the blue cheese itself. There are many varieties and perhaps it was one I just don't like. I didn't eat much, but I don't think anyone actually cared if I did or not. My husband thought the fish was fine. Wasn't too greasy or overly battered. Fries were VERY limp. Even though we were not thrilled with our food, we had to try the key lime pie. Disappointed in that as well, but worlds better than our dinners. The crust is very thick, but good, there's a huge amount of of flavorless whipped cream. Definitely fresh, but even just a little sugar in it could have helped it, otherwise it was blah, and the lime curd...I didn't taste lime at all, but great texture. The views are great, but it's not enough to ever come back for. May be a great place to hang out with your friends if you're not very hungry. read more

Well getting together on the water is always nice. The quality of the food here has gone down a bit over the years or I am just aging and not into frozen foods deep fried anymore. For what you pay for food and service these days a better quality of food would be nice. Live music is good and the view is amazing. This time around the server wasn't the best and hard to get engaged to have a fun time with her. From order to delivery wasn't a long time and like I said not very great. This is a place that has been here a long time and has history. But like I said before food isn't the high light of it. People you are with and the music and booze is what works. read more

We came here on a Friday night during dinner time and it was packed. The wait was over an hour and the parking lot was full. We waited for our table at the sky bar which had the most amazing sunset. The bartenders were really nice but the drinks were pretty expensive. My cocktail was $15. We got seated at our table near the dock which was stunning! We ordered the jambalaya and salmon and the portions were huge and delicious! They came out fast and our server was very attentive despite how busy it was. After my meal, I wasn't feeling well and while I was waiting for my uber in the waiting area, many employees checked on me separately and offered me water. I really appreciate their kindness and care for me and I will always come back to this unique restaurant! read more

Visited Old Key Lime House to watch Florida play in the Final Four after having gone last year for dinner. We spent the evening in the Sky Bar where the drinks were only outdone by the view, I had a Revenge Run piña colada served on the rocks, which I always prefer. Food was pretty standard, but a limited menu for the sky bar. Wish we could have ordered more from the normal menu. Mozzarella sticks weren't great, but the crab and shrimp spinach dip is a must have app. Only one bartender which was surprising for a night where the Gators were playing but she did a good job keeping up with everyone in the center of the bar. If you were on the end, it was hard to flag her down. Overall the Jimmy Buffet type vibes and drinks are reason enough to come - a fun way to spend a warm Florida evening! read more

Had a great time listening to music and enjoying the intracoastal view. We came for Happy Hour, the band and dinner. I'll have to say it was all good! we had some type of escargot/shrimp and lobster appetizer that was a little on the pricey side at $18 but was delicious paired between two. The drinks were incredible at 40% off everything. Dinner was quite delicious with large chunks of crab in the crabcake with a very little if any filler at all. The price certainly reflected that at $49 of dinner. smash burger seemed delicious and the band was just fabulous. Service from Alexis was stellar!! read more

We were visiting West Palm Beach and our friends suggested we go to dinner here at Old Key Lime House! Albert (our waiter) did a fantastic job taking care of us tonight. We love the atmosphere! I ordered the Fried Shrimp Basket with coleslaw as my side. The shrimp were good but felt there should have been more for the price. I also ordered the Claim Chowder and it was really good and very flavorful! My wife ordered the Crab Cakes with onion rings. She said the crab cakes were really good and loved them. We also had to get the Key Lime Pie for sure! It was really good! So glad we came here for dinner and definitely recommend it. read more

The old Key house gets two stars because they have valet parking - very good and I must say that the employees were all friendly. However, that's where the compliments end. We had a group of six people. And each of them basically gave the food they ate a "just a okay rating" with one of our guests having to return their fish and chips dinner. The manager was very accommodating and the server was very nice. However, I would recommend that the servers be able to eat or taste all the different foods at the own restaurant so they could be more knowledgeable about the food they're serving. The best part was dessert - the one exception to the just okay food was their Keylime pie, which was very good. Unfortunately, on that day, there was a nasty smell coming from the ocean and why we can't blame the restaurant for that, it's still made it a somewhat unpleasant dining experience. Over all the restaurant is at a nice location forty the bay - but it sure seems like they need to have a complete makeover at the restaurant including their restroom. I really don't plan to return. read more

. I ordered grilled Mahi. I was starving hungry. It was extremely over cooked. I looked for my server but she never came to check on me. I ate it anyway as I was so hungry. I told her about the fish and she told me she had walked past me a few times and I hadn't stopped her! She never walked past me. She never asked how my food was. I wish I hadn't eaten it as it made me feel sick. read more

Wow, this place is great! I cannot believe I'm a Florida native and I've only been here twice, the first time I was so young I don't even remember. This place has amazing vibes and incredible views, the food is also great! The food is comparable to Deck 84. I had the mahi tacos and they were excellent, a little spicy but great! We also shared the fish dip but it should be paired with saltine crackers not tortilla chips, that's my only complaint. Also this place is so big and has many rooms to choose from. It's great for watching sports. The gift shop is also cute and the attendant was soooooo sweet! Loved her. Thank you! We will be going back. read more

Would give five stars for the experience, a January afternoon, pretty warm, but not too hot, huge crowds, watching football playoff games. You really don't know how massive the old Key lime house is until you've been there. There's seating for around 200 people and everything is semi outdoors. Right on the intercoastal waterway, great views, etc. It doesn't get much better than this anywhere. Food was a solid four out of five. I will register a little complaint about the mahi-mahi fish taco. Lots of fish, but very little fresh veggies. You want a lot of tanginess and crispiness with a good fish taco and this didn't really deliver that. However, the key lime pie was special, and very large, three of us shared one portion after dinner and we were stuffed. I wouldn't leave this restaurant without ordering that. read more

Atmosphere was great!! Service was excellent. The server did a great job suggesting drink, & describing the items on the menu, she also great at suggesting items for some picky guests. I chose the Bacon Ranch Chicken Tacos with Onion rings. Delicious!!!! The only issue I had was when were leaving we noticed a man looking at the Card tips at the table next to use. As someone who has been in the restaurant industry for 30yrs, in my opinion you should not be doing that. There's no reason to be looking at your service tips in the middle of the dining room especially without the server present! When the gentleman was questioned about the situation, he responded with "I the GM". I have held a GM spot in a couple restaurants, I have never looked at a servers Tips in the middle of the dining room. The only reason to look at a servers tips is to fix a servers mistake or guest has bad hand writing & can't read what they wrote. That's unprofessional & none of your business, that is money left for the server not you, keep your nose out of it!! read more
