Seafood combo with side of onion rings.
Catherine K.

Quiet, tiny and intimate (also outside seating), table seating for maybe 20 and bar seating for another 14. Service was quick, food hot, fresh and fast. The seafood combo came with shrimp, mahi mahi and conch. I had not had conch before so there is nothing to compare it to. It looked like hush puppies, and was chewy. The shrimp were perfect and the fish was fishy. I ordered onion rings for my side and have never seen such large and wonderful rings before. For a $25 lunch, it will bring me back.

A relaxing waterfront spot but it was pretty hot so after waiting at the waterfront tables, we eventually ended up go inside for A/C. Food was good. Service was prompt. You can bring your own catch and get it cooked the way you want(grilled/fried/broiled) and they can do it for you at a reasonable price.

The food and ambience were unbeatable. Literally this is a place that throughout the day a man comes in named Bubba and there is also probably someone named Ethel that has a plastic flamingo in her yard. She stops in to get the latest gossip. There are manatee basking in the sun. Engine oil smell lingers in the air from the boats and the signage!!!!! The decor and "stuff" is perfection. Our server was great too, but at the end she just bailed. We waited 10 minutes for a bill. I could have just walked out. It was so weird. The food was wonderful except the Nachos. They were a 2/10

Seafood Combo

We stopped here on our way up from Key West headed to Fort Lauderdale at the recommendation of a local we met in Islamorada. This restaurant is off the beaten path, and we came at an off time and it was not busy. They have indoor and outdoor seating. Our server was nice and attentive. We each ordered the combo platter which included mahi mahi, shrimp, conch fritters and your choice of one side. You have the option to have your seafood fried, grilled, or blackened. I ordered blackened, my mother, grilled. When our meals came out we think they made a mistake and grilled both, oh well. The food was tasty, average portion size where we both ate our whole meal. I got coleslaw which was pretty good and my mom's side was potato salad. They have Happy hour Monday to Friday 4-6pm. .

Drinks menu

Pretty chill outdoor place to catch some fresh air and cheap drinks. Food menu looks ok. We had good service today. I got champagne $7.28 which was nice and dry. Husband got a 24 Oz beer $6.24. Drinks were nice and cold. They have a happy hour with super cheap drinks $1, 2-4 each. Patty was an amazing friendly server. Lovely patio with the house cat Rex who was soooo cute. Little gray striped cat.

Shrimp quesadillas
David C.

We had the the Mahi Rebuen and the Shrimp quesadillas and both were amazing. Peggy and Melonie provided exceptional service!

Fish Dip & Fried Asparagus
Michael O.

Hole in the wall on upper Key Largo. Food was very good as we did an appetizer lunch with fried asparagus, fish dip & mahi quesadillas with ice cold Miller Lite drafts! We ate outside under the tiki hut which is on a waterway canal. Very Keyish from the ambience standpoint . From an FYI standpoint the inside seating is very limited with about 6 - 7 tables. The outside has two pavilions with a lot of seating available. Our server was attentive and made sure we had what we needed and brought our food & beverages quickly. If looking for a spot to hang check this place out!

My shrimp quesadillas...so yummy
Ana S.

I have never been here before and my boyfriend has been a few times so he recommended the place. I will have to admit...the food was delicious. We had to start the fish dip, which is amazing by itself. But I knew I needed something else to finish me off. So I ordered shrimp quesadillas and they were delicious. My boyfriend had the Mahi Mahi basket and it was tasty. (I know because he let me have one). I didn't get to order dessert, not sure if it was on the menu or not. But I was so full that I told my boyfriend I probably won't be having dinner tonight. The waitress that tended to us was extremely nice also. The ambiance was pretty good considering it was the afternoon on a Friday no less. But it probably gets crazy busy on weekends. I will definitely recommend this place to anyone who goes to Key Largo and I'll definitely come back to try something else. Two thumbs up

Happy hour food deals
C L.

The atmosphere and vibe were fantastic! The waitress was very friendly and efficient. My husband got the seafood combo plate ($25, a selection of mahi, shrimp and conch fritters, with a side of fries) and I got the Crab Cakes with fries ($22). Happy hour food prices were incredibly reasonable. Dessert was available but we were too full to partake.

Mahi Reuben Sweet Potato Fries
Abby W.

Heard about this place from a local and decided to try it. I got the mahi Ruben (mahi mahi, house made coleslaw, 1000 island dressing, and Swiss cheese) with sweet potato fries and it was really good!! I got a little side of bang bang sauce to go with it and it went really well with it! We also got the local special wings (10 wings for $5) and it was 100% worth the $5. Our waitress was extremely nice and helpful when giving food recommendations ( the ruben was her idea). They are also pet friendly if you are looking for a place to sit down to eat with your animal of choice!

Shipwrecks Cannon Balls
Denys L.

What can I say about Shipwreck's Bar & Grill: The Indoor ambiance is very social during peak hours with a Keys style bar atmosphere. The outdoor ambiance is nice during all parts or the day. Very friendly staff and locals who love to socialize!. Now to the Meal: Out of all the Appetizers I will suggest that you order the Crispy Pork Spare Ribs!!!! They are so good and perfectly crisp. I Really Enjoy the Grouper Picatta with Garlic Rissoto. The Rissoto and Grouper were actually cooked very well, I have had many in the Keys but no complaints here. There is Small Wine selection but the wine was very well paired with the meal and there is a wide variety of beers and specials. To the desserts: Now.....! The Key Lime Pie was my favorite dessert,it was mildly tart and semi sweet which the staple of it's texture. Coming in 2nd is the Shipwreck Cannon Balls ( Ice Cream Stuffed Pastry dipped in a light chocolate sauce and a drizzle of strawberry puree) the Brownie Served with Ice Cream was good. The Servers were very Attentive and polite, even with a 20 person Party, my glass was always topped off. I can say that I will return again. Keep up the good work! Will return soon! The Southern Florida Critic! DJL

They have covered motorcycle parking! Nice place for a chill lunch. Indoor and outdoor seating. Nice views and attentive staff. Food was ok. Nothing to write home about.

Fraud
Eric K.

Terrible Keys service with a side of FRAUD Forget the fact that while dining outside I had to get up and go to the bar inside to get drinks. Forget the fact that the waitress was hanging out chitchatting at the bar when I had to go inside twice to get my drinks Forget the fact that they allow patrons to listen to their cell phones on blast without a care (personal pet peeve) What really got me was the fact that the waitress who was absent and inattentive decided to double my tip amount when she ran the credit card. This is not a simple, honest mistake. I've seen it here in the keys a couple times. That's why I began taking pictures of my receipts. Avoid at all costs. UPDATE: after speaking with "the owner" he assured me this was an isolated incident and that the crap server was a long time employee. Of course she was? The lifers are the entitled arrogant ones with no concept or care of how to do a good job. It was acknowledged that she was "spending a lot of time at the bar with regulars". Again, we won't be back.

We had a disappointing lunch here…read more We were in the keys specifically to enjoy Florida lobster season which started last week. As we were getting ready to head home, I had read in their ad in the local newspaper that they featured fresh Florida lobster. So I delayed our departure a couple hours just to make sure we stopped here for lunch. The restaurant has an outside bar and patio dining plus inside a/c dining. We chose to sit in the inside. I'd asked the server what Florida lobster dishes they offered and the prices. She said they had two -- lobster bites and a lobster tail. I order the tail with sweet potato fries as my side. When the meal came, I saw that what was delivered was NOT fresh Florida lobster. The manager (?) told me they hadn't pulled the traps yet and didn't have any Florida lobster -- which was strange as it was almost a week into the season and their two ads touted it. Anyhow, he suggested the snapper instead and I chose the coconut yellowtail sandwich from their specials. This was barely edible -- over fried, over cooked, and dried out. I took only a couple bites and coins t even eat the rest. Meanwhile, my husband had ordered the cracked conch appetizer. We've had this all over Florida (he's a native) and in the Carribean. This version was quite different. It had large square pieces of conch in a heavy fried batter. I would not recommend this dish, either.

We told her we lived in Islamorada and said we had to go to the Armory in Key Largo. It took us a while to get here but what a great place! The food is amazing. We had the shishito peppers for an appetizer and then the lamb chops. The bartenders are real pros. One spent a half hour squeezing limes and bottling the juice. I told him he could buy it by the jug but he said it's not the same. They buy bushels of lemons and limes and press them. That's over the top. Watching them constantly cleaning was refreshing.

Don't skip on anything and be prepared for a wonderful evening. Try as many drinks as you can on the menu (without driving afterwards of course) because it's that captivating. Grab a good bite to eat like a burger or steak or whatever you desire. Take lots of pics of real armory, pics, uniforms etc. This place is a whole vibe

This restaurant is within walking distance of the Pelican, where we always stay when visiting the…read moreKeys, so it's one of our favorite dinner spots. One thing you'll notice pretty quickly in the Keys is that many restaurants close fairly early, and this one closes at 10 p.m., so we always make sure to get there in time. I've eaten at both the bar and at a table. This year, since my nephew was with us, we grabbed a table and enjoyed another great meal. My absolute favorite dish here is the fish topped with a generous portion of crab. It is absolutely incredible! Funny enough, years ago I actually ordered the pistachio-crusted fish, but the kitchen accidentally brought me the fish with crab instead. Let's just say I wasn't disappointed by that mistake! On this trip, I finally tried the pistachio-crusted fish, and it was delicious too. My nephew couldn't stop talking about the seafood linguine. It was loaded with seafood, and he absolutely loved it. The atmosphere is one of the best parts of dining here. The waterfront views are beautiful, and you can choose to sit under the tiki hut or kick off your shoes and enjoy the sand beneath your feet. It's such a relaxing place to unwind after a day in the Keys. We've also had the coconut shrimp, which comes with an amazing dipping sauce that I'd definitely recommend. For drinks, I tried their espresso martini for the first time. They add cocoa to it, which I've never seen before. It definitely caught me by surprise, but in a good way. I always enjoy when a bartender puts a creative spin on a classic cocktail instead of making the same version everyone else serves. Between the beautiful setting, delicious food, and laid-back atmosphere, this is a place we look forward to visiting every year.

I really wanted to love Snook's, which is exactly why this one is so disappointing…read more The moment we arrived, I fell in love with the place. The music, cleanliness, design, waterfront atmosphere, and overall vibe were fantastic. It felt current, fun, polished, and honestly looked like it had everything needed to become one of our favorite stops in the Keys. Unfortunately, the service completely changed the experience. Our server was very kind, but also extremely forgetful and distracted/his head was somewhere else from the beginning. Waters came out, we were told the kids special, and my parents advised our water what meals that my niece and nephew would want. My mother and sister were the. asked for adult drink orders, but my father and I were never asked what we wanted. About 13 minutes later two drinks finally arrived and another 15 minutes later both kids' entrées arrived even though the rest of us had not even ordered appetizers or our meals yet. It was just very awkward having the kids eating while the adults were still waiting to place orders, let alone the appetizers. At that point, with the waters lack of organization and delay, we decided not to order adult entrées. We boxed up the kids' shrimp Alfredo, had two Long Island iced teas and two appetizers, and the bill still came in just shy of $200 with gratuity automatically added for our party of six, which included two children (which would be fine I feel if we spent more than 45 minutes here, without any delay or issues on the restaurants end) The food we did receive was, okay, standard to say the least, but we never really got the opportunity to experience the restaurant the way we had planned because the service flow was so disconnected. I genuinely try to give people the benefit of the doubt. Maybe it was a first day, maybe it was an off day, maybe something personal was going on. We are all human. The server was never rude, and this is not meant as an attack on him. That is what makes this review more disappointing than angry. The atmosphere was so good that I honestly thought this could become one of our top restaurants after vacationing in the Florida Keys every year for the past 10 years. If the service had matched the ambience, we probably would have added Snook's to our yearly itinerary regardless of the price. The issues we experienced seem very fixable with better communication, pacing, and attention to the table (we could see the water standing and lounging in-between the 2/3 times he stopped be the table). I really hope they tighten these up because this place has so much potential. Younger staff is great imho, however they are old enough to know better and do better. Especially working at a quality waterfront restaurant. Maybe we will give it another shot someday, but after this visit, It would have to be a last option for us to do so.
