My across the street neighbors up here in Michigan who used to live in Key West told me I had to go eat at the place Ernest Hemingway used to go or the other place that Ernest Hemingway used to go that claims they're more legit and the true original so... I went to a crawfish place instead. I had some pretty weak crawfish up in Ocala and had a hankering for the real deal, especially since Key West seemed like a mini-New Orleans only more Jimmy Buffettish. Stinkin Crawfish delivered some tasty mudbugs and I went for some mussels in my seafood boil as well. It really hit the spot though it might have tasted extra good just cause I was so famished from riding my rental bike around all the day. The garlic bread was a nice touch and I ordered a ginger beer to wash it down. Service was fine. I barely made it inside cause the patio on Duval street was the place to be. One of the fabled free range chickens of Key West was even hanging out, no doubt grateful for the plentiful seafood around. I can't give a ton of details like some of my other reviews as I'm writing this 9 months later but I remember liking this place. read more

Went here for dinner, and went back the next day for their happy hour as well. For dinner, we ordered the Cajun flavor Shrimp Seafood Boil with potatoes and corn, the Garlic Butter Shrimp seafood boil, and the Gumbo. The Cajun seasoning was very flavorful and delicious, and the shrimp were very big too. The garlic butter was good as well but not as special. The gumbo was very small and was overpriced for the amount of meat in it, would never order again. Dinner bill had automatic gratuity added. For happy hour, we got the $1 oysters, $1 chicken wings in Garlic Parmesan and Garlic Cajun, the conch fritters, and the mac n cheese. The $1 oysters were a great deal and good. And the $1 wings were amazing. The Garlic Cajun wings might've been some of the best wings I've ever had, amazing garlic flavor and crispy and tender. Conch fritters were the best I've ever had, much more conch than other places and great flavor. Service for dinner was slow but happy hour was very quick. Casual outdoor setting. Would come back for both the happy hour and dinner! read more

This place was amazing. We went for happy hour and the oysters were $1 a pop. Everywhere else, it's easily $24 for 6 oysters. Not to mention that the oysters were served already separated from the shell. Will be coming back here next time we visit. 10/10 experience! read more

Sat at the bar for appetizers and had fresh crab meat ( very good) and hush puppies ( good breading). Someone next to use had steamed crawfish and shrimp, corn on cob which looked good and he at it all. Would go again. read more

It was so good at lunch we came back for dinner. Linda our waitress was amazing. Group of 6 and we ate 10 doz oysters and several orders of the best wings I have eaten in a while. Beer and other drinks were cold and plentiful. Live music later was perfect. The bartender allowed us to change the tv to watch our Texas Tech Red Raiders basketball team. Great Day in Key West! read more

Food was good. The cheese was very cheesy. Waiters were stupendous. Vibe was off but there was live music so that's cool. read more

Wasn't a huge fan of the live music. I'm more of a introvert, so usually a calm, quiet place is my favorite to eat at. The service was really nice, but they could've been a little more attentive. The food was alright, I enjoyed the hush puppies but the jambalaya lacked flavor. They have a good remoulade sauce! Nice people watching but overall, not my cup of tea read more

Food was great! I tried alligator bites for the first time and loved them. Their chicken wings were awesome as well. Unfortunately, I didn't go at this time, but they sometimes have live music for the customers. I think that's more towards dinner time, so if you are looking for a good dinner spot in Key West, this is the place. read more

This place was a new find for us. Happy hours specials were amazing! The service however, was horrid. The server basically told My friend, who has a food allergy, that "there was nothing she could do for her". We will be back but not with that server. read more

Located right on the bustling Duval Street in Key West, this seafood place is a true treasure for anyone seeking cajun seafood!The restaurant has a lovely patio, complete with fans that provide a refreshing breeze. The drink selection is excellent, with a variety of refreshing options that perfectly complement the seafood dishes. The gumbo stood out as authentic with a rich, flavorful broth with just the right amount of spice to give it a nice kick. The conch fritters were another highlight they were crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, and absolutely delicious. With its great drinks, and delectable seafood, this place on Duval Street is a must visit. We enjoyed every moment and look forward to our next visit! read more

Dropped in for a drink with friends. Stayed to listen to the musician Bill playing country, folk and Americana favorites as requested by the crowd. He was great and helped the vibe telling some bad (dad?) jokes. Great place to watch the spectacle that is Key West on Duval Street. My wife later had a generous bowl of gumbo, which she said was the best she's ever had. The oysters on the half shell were also yummy. Coming back. read more

Stopped in for the $1 oyster specials. First time we came here they were out of the oysters so we knew we'd have to come back. Was pleasantly surprised to see that most of their waitresses and waiters are from Cordoba, Argentina. I picked up on their accent right away, being Argentine as well we had some good conversation. They have live music during the lunch hour as well as the evening. Food was decent as I ordered some appetizers and my wife had her dozen oysters that she craves. read more

Our favorite place to grab a bite and a drink. We usually stop by for Happy Hour so I can get some $1 oysters and wings, wings are small but cooked perfectly. Service had always been fairly fast depending when you go, but we've never had terrible service. If you enjoy eating on the patio and people watching, this is the place. If Dallas Doctor is playing, then it's a must stop. This guy is awesome on the guitar and is so full of music trivia. He doesn't play requests, but has a preplanned playlist he plays from, stop in and show him some love by dropping a few dollars in his bucket. read more

Food comes out not as expected, but it's good. The servers are very vague on what you should expect. Nice outdoors seating but cramped in certain areas. The live music during brunch is very nice! read more

Really a fun spot when visiting key west. Great food and friendly staff! Thank you so much!

Lovely food and service. Dollar happy hour oysters are a must. We had the seafood on plate with lobster, garlic sauce made spicy...it was properly spicy! Well cooked seafood and veg. Garlic bread is ridiculously priced at $4 for 2 small pieces of baguette brushed with garlic butter. read more

I had outstanding shrimp and grits and a terrific Mai Tai. Their prices are way more reasonable than other places in the area. They aren't listed o ln the tourist maps but give them a try! read more

This is a small restaurant on Duval Street. The food is good and so is the service. The lobster bits were tasty. This is a small starter but enough to share with one other person. The fries were good. The highlight of the meal was the seafood medley. It was cooked to perfection and had a nice hint of spice. If you are visiting Key West you should add this place to you list of places to eat. They have plenty of out during or seating but they also have a little bit indoor with AC. We chose the AC after walking outside all day in the heat. read more

Located on Duval. The restaurant is a little dated and in need of an update if you visit the back side of the restaurant. The front of the house is ok. They could use new seating and tables. The food was pretty good. The Mac & cheese was average. The alligator app was a bit tough and over cooked. The lobster roll was very good, along with being one of the lowest priced on the strip. read more

Best gumbo ever, love the free half dozen oyster deal. Would come again. Tasty salads.

Service was good, food was not. We ordered crawfish, and they tasted like water with a little garlic..no flavor

Stopped for a beverage and quick snack during happy hour. Oysters, fresh shrimp, coconut shrimp and bacon wrapped jalepenos stuffed with crab and cream cheese. Delicious!!! Great service too!!! read more

The conch fritters were the best ever! The conch is in every bite and they are fried perfectly. We were promptly seated and looked forward to hearing Joel play. read more

Had the Cajun shrimp, it was from farm raised and frozen. Not as good as other seafood boil I've been to. Service was terrible yet they automatically added 20% gratuity to our bill. read more

I am shocked that this place became our #1 spot on our recent trip. Not a fan of Seafood Boil places so we avoided that. We went for the $1 oyster Happy Hour from Noon til 6pm (yes it's 6hrs). We first tried Pepe's Seafood, which gets good reviews for their oyster happy hour but their oysters are small and flat. Not so good. This place serves proper Gulf Oysters. Fat, plump, delicious and only $1 during their 6hr Happy Hour. Conch fritters were great. Drinks are very good. They get busy and the staff gets stretched but they are all good people and strive to make it a fun experience. I highly recommend! read more

Pretty pretty good. Nice to eat on the patio and people watch. Service was a little slow.

Obviously was craving seafood when in Florida. Googled best boiled seafood and this place popped up. Service was ehhhhh.... But then got better. I know it's a touristy place but man the seafood was high! (Southern Louisiana girl here) No reason it should've been that high! But going back to the food; it was all pretty good and I definitely got my seafood fix. Oysters, yummy, snow crab, delicious, crawfish..... don't bother getting boiled crawfish anywhere else other than Louisiana. One of those sprinkle the seasoning on top places..... not my jam! King crab was yummy, the hush puppies and the jalapeño poppers were amazing, the gator was ok. This place is definitely not bad, just pricey to me for the portions. read more

Absolutely nothing stinking about this restaurant! Everything is exceptionally good especially the Cajun cooking, service and entertainment. My wife and I spent 3.5 hours recently enjoying good food and music by Dallas Doctor! Dallas took us through a journey of my youth playing the Beatles, Peter Frampton and other rock groups from the 70's and 80's using seven guitars. Traffic stops on Duval, windows roll down and people get out of their cars to listen to this talented musician. He packs this out door restaurant up, so get there at 11:30am if you want to enjoy a 3.5 hour show with no breaks. This was the best entertainment and most fun of our trip! read more

Stopped in when we saw the $1 oysters and wings during happy hour which is 12 to 6! I had a dozen oysters, they were all large and fresh tasting. My husbands wings were very good. The hostess and 2 servers we encountered were all polite and friendly, especially Tomas, our main server, he seemed sincerely kind, his excellent, attentive service made all the difference. read more
