First time back at sundowners since the remodel, and everything was amazing! They have updated the patio and inside, and staff was great! Our bartender Daniella was amazing - perfect service with a smile, and fantastic drinks! Thank you Dani! Good to be back read more

We stopped in here for dinner after snorkeling at John Pennekamp Coral Reef Park. We sat on the patio and had the primo spot for sunset. Try to come later in the day right before sunset. We came around 5:30pm and sunset wasn't happening until 7:30pm. It was HOT!!! But what a view. Worth the suffering from the heat and sun when you get to see that sunset. We were able to see the sunset and left afterwards. Just fair warning for anyone who comes here in the early afternoon. Our server was David and he was great. He hustled and you could tell he was busy running around tending to everyone. We got fresh oysters, snow crab legs, blackened grouper with grilled veggies, calamari, Caesar salad with fish. First off, don't get the fresh oysters here. It was $9.95 for 6 oysters and they were super small. One of my oysters were bad too that I had to spit it out. Not worth it. The snow crab legs were BOMB!!! But also a hefty price at market value of $59.95 for 1 lb. The whole family ate it so it was fine but it's not cheap. The blackened group was great with the grilled veggies. I originally ordered the mahi ceviche because it sounded good. When it came out, it was literally diced mahi mahi and tostones. The portion was great but it totally lacked any of the other appetizing stuff that was suppose to come with it, nothing else that was on the menu description was in my ceviche. It was bland and weak. It was $18.95 for the ceviche. I had to be that person and sent it back. I got what my husband got which was the blackened group with grilled veggies. That was great and I'm glad I exchanged my food. All in all, you cannot beat the view on the patio. They have live music too and the patio bar is right there if you just want to hang by the bar. The patio is a wrap around L-shaped patio and located next to the boat docking area for any boaters who want to pull up and come eat here. Cool spot. read more

Had lunch on a Sunday in Aug 2024, first time at Sundowners, adequate parking and the surroundings is very nice. Noticed the place was pretty full, so prepared myself for slow servive, unfortunately that is the reality of post Covid restaurant service in the Fl Keys, very popular, but not enough workers. We were served by a very very busy Mayra, she did her best, no complaints. We had a couple of Mahi Mahi Sandwiches and Fish and Chips, all good..maybe a little heavy on the condiments, but we enjoyed it all. There is indoor and outdoor seating, but super hot day, we stayed indoors. Prices were resonable for a seaside Fl Keys restaurant, we had apperticers, 2 bar drinks, 1 beer, dessert and the above mentined antrees and it came out to $40 each, without tax and tip. I would return. read more

Unfortunately this place has gone down hill. Service was bad, food was worse, and for the price, there's other restaurants way better all around. The view is great, but that's about it. If you sit outside, you won't be able to hear any conversation the table has because of the loud band playing or you'll get eaten alive by mosquitoes. PASS read more

If you're looking for the best sunset views; you've certainly found them here! Great menu options also! Definitely a Keys must go to!

We came here on the 4th of July for dinner before getting on the Cruisin' Tiki. They had live music outside. Great outdoor seating. Inside isn't worth it. They are incredibly short staffed so service was very very slow. The food took forever. I got a Caesar salad with Mahi. The food was better than I anticipated, especially with other reviews. Beautiful sunset. read more

With live music and a beautiful Florida sunset, the vibes were immaculate as soon as we arrived. I ordered a pina colada and the miso salmon and both were absolutely amazing. Our waitress was friendly and attentive, and the whole experience greatly exceeded my expectations. Definitely recommend. read more

Service was extremely slow, so slow you order 2 drinks at a time before the girl would come back. Place was not full, in fact, almost empty. Food came out cold and was sent back and I guess they nuked it. Asked for parm cheese and she never came back. Shrimp was like eating rubber bands, pasta was mushy, sauce was salty and old tasting. Oh, first drinks arrived and the mix was old and out of date. Taste like crap. Food was over priced and horrible. Been better off going to 7-11 for a hotdog and big gulp for 99 cents. Left and went to the bar next door. Drinks were cold and fast! Waitress was amazing there. Still didn't get our waters. First and last time for us. read more

Service was less than satisfactory... we arrived left our name... wait for 2 plus our fur baby 20 minutes... 35 minutes later asked hostess what wait time would be. .. another 10 minutes... in the mean time we watched numerous others of 2 plus dog be seated!!! Asked again !! Couldnt find my name!!! To say inept is a understatement.. we told her we would wait ... she acknowledged with ... just give me 10 minutes...we left as of 2 hours later she still hasnt called.... Do not waste your time or money!!! Go to Jimmy Johnsons Big Chill!!!! Seating immediately...servers johnny on the spot... food fresh and fast...... read more

Sundowners - i don't remember what it was called but it was amazing!! - Seafood Near Me - Key Largo, Florida

We came and waited 15 minutes to sit down when there were plenty of empty tables. The waitresses seemed annoyed with all the tourists. The sunset is not direct, so I wouldn't call it sundowners I would call it partial sunset view. The key lime pie was delicious but the frozen drinks were absolutely disgusting, they were watery and had huge chunks of ice. It was such a disappointing drink. No fresh fruit and full of cheap sugar mixers/cheap "house" booze. read more

Came to Sundowners with a group of friends. The atmosphere seemed cool and we were excited to eat especially since the parking was full. So here are my comments: Appetizers: We are outside and ordered calamari and sweet chili shrimp. The calamari wasn't bad. The chili shrimp brought 6 shrimps and they were smothered in sweet Chili sauce and chili flakes. We also ordered lobster bisque soup and it was more bisque than lobster. Not much meat. Entree: Steak and shrimp kabob had medium raw steak. And my friend said it was "kinda blubbery" for the price of $29. My friend and I ordered grilled shrimp with grouper for $36. We received a small portion of grouper and it had no taste. My friend and I were disappointed because not only did we pay $37 each, but the portions were so tiny. My husband ordered shrimp tempura sushi and it came out way after the rest of my party was finished with their meal. Service: Service was lacking. We had to ask for utensils and more water. Our table didn't have ketchup and we had to ask the table next to us because our waitress was no where to be found. Total bill was $250 plus tip. Dessert: We didn't even get dessert because we were left so disappointed with our appetizer and entrees. I rated Sundowners a 2 star due to the reasons above. The dishes are way over priced for the small serving portions. My friends and I would not return. read more

Worst experience I've ever experienced at Sundowners in both service and food! After being seated it took over 30min to get anyone to take our order for drinks or even bring waters to the table. I had to go and get a waitress/waiter to take our order. Then it took almost an hour to get our meal which I again had to find someone to get our meal delivered. The food was of poor quality...it took a steak knife to cut the fish. Way over cooked! Recommend not eating here for a while they work on getting their kitchen squared away. After criticizing the poor service and food they did comp the food. read more

Great coconut shrimp , key lime seafood , key lime ‍ pie delicious! Beautiful sunset !

This place starts with ambiance. There is no reason to go if you do not plan to be there at sunset. It is heavenly. The food is good. I would even say based on how prices have gone up in South Florida the food is really good at the price point. I thought our service was good too. The restaurant could probably use some updates but the sunset location is perfect every time. read more

Came mostly for pie because it was recommended by a tour guide from Miami. Stopped for a late lunch on a Wednesday. There's a beautiful outdoor patio overlooking the water. Service was really good! Smoked fish dip (~$17): good smoky flavor and pairs perfectly with the capers and onions that it comes with. Comes with crackers but I think the menu said it would come with flatbread. Lobster bisque (~$9): decent portion size, lacked significant lobster flavor and didn't have much seafood character. Was mostly a creamy soup. Snapper and shrimp ($30): fish and shrimp were cooked well and tasted good, but portion was small (only 3 shrimps and a small fish fillet). It comes with a heaping serving of jasmine rice and a small amount of squash. But for $30 I was expecting more food and while it tasted good, it didn't warrant the price tag. Key lime pie ($8 for a slice): the reason we came and honestly not disappointing! Great lime tartness and it's not too sweet. Love the meringue topping and graham cracker crust. My general thoughts are that the food is priced too high for its taste. We had a meal the day before somewhere else along the Keys which was half the price and portions were big so this seemed expensive. But view and atmosphere are nice, service is excellent, and the pie is yummy (would return just for pie). Also there's a parking lot right in front which is convenient. read more

If you're searching for a lowkey lunch spot with a view, this one's for you! Stop by Sundowners the next time you visit The Florida Keys for delicious and fresh seafood! We drove down this Saturday and had such a lovely time. We tried the Fried Calamari, Miso Salmon, Bayou Pasta, Mahi Fingers (comes with fries), and the Sunset Salad with added Mahi on top. Though we didn't get the Smoked Fish Dip, I highly recommend as we saw everyone around us ordering it and it looked FIRE. We also ordered a Mango Daiquiri and Key Lime Mojito for drinks and ended our day with a delicious Dulce de Leche Cheesecake. They also offer S'mores for 2 which comes in the cutest setup! Definitely something to try in the cooler months in Florida This restaurant offers great views and fresh food! If you're out on a boat, the restaurant has a dock where you can pull up and dock for a while while you eat. They also offer the option to prepare and cook your catch of the day for $19 per person! read more

DONT WASTE YOUR MONEY ! Forward to this review, I am not a complainer, I am a very generous tipper and fairly forgiving when it comes to food. I have worked in the industry and know the pitfalls. After several trips to this spot I have to the conclusion that they are just not good. So so food the first time , so so service the second time, and so so service and food on the last trip. But if you want overpriced mediocre food with being ignored by your server, this is the place for you The ambiance is ok at best as well. I know the mosquitos are bad everywhere, but I felt like I was donating blood by the end of my meal. If all you're interested is the sunset, hit the park up the street.... The sunset is free there (also, it's a beautiful park). Another disappointing point here were the drinks. Drinks that they brag about were blah. I have had better Pina coladas at a steakhouse in New Jersey. Over priced and honestly just not that good. Service was sub par. Waitress disappeared for a half an hour a the end of the meal. Some of us had water in our glasses while others never got refilled. There are so many great local spots to try, don't waste your time on this one. read more

Food: 8/10 Service: 2/10 Vibe: 9/10 Value: 8/10 Great spot to catch the sunset on the water and listen to live (LOUD) music. Service is abysmal on busy nights. Took the bartender 30 mins to finally get my order and even longer for the drinks to come. Food is decent bar food and we appreciate how extensive the menu is. Key lime pie for dessert def hit the spot. I would recommend this place if you're looking for sunset views, don't mind waiting for a table and aren't bothered by really loud live music. read more

Just don't go here! Waitress gave herself an added gratuity, since we're a party of 6..(4 being 2 teens and 2 older kids, so no trouble at all) The only redeeming fact about this place is the view of the sunset. Service was TERRIBLE, I hardly ever write reviews, but tonight warranted. We had to go refill our drinks at the bar, get ketchup from another table and our food was not great. We typically get multiple bar drinks, but we were never asked to refill. The chicken tenders were slimy, the Mahi sandwich was soaking through the bun (not sure why?). Our server wouldn't make eye contact with her tables and left all of them searching for her. I know this is the slow season (except for this holiday week), but they should close tables if a waitress can't keep up... read more

food was decent but there are definitely better seafood restaurants service was VERY slow. we had a party of 10 which i understand can be a bit overwhelming, but our waiter only came like every 15 minutes and often forgot drinks. the view was really nice; we sat inside right in front of the window facing the ocean which was lovely. to sum it up, if you just want a nice view and don't mind waiting then it's a good place to go but otherwise, i'd recommend somewhere else read more

Came to sundowners to grab some tiki drinks and enjoy some sun. The view is beautiful however it was windy on the day we went. We had a mojito and a Paloma. The mojito was delicious.

Slow service, we were one of three tables but great views. Good food. Don't sit too close to the water. Waves crashed on some tables

Fantastic view on the outside deck. 4 stars for the view, but only 1-1/2 stars for the food. I had the Mahi Rachel sandwich with Chile lime tater tots and my wife had a Caesar salad and Lobster bisque soup. The Mahi was way over-grilled and very dry - too bad, because it could've been a good sandwich; the tots were great. My wife's soup was bland and tasteless, definitely had better out of a can, which I'm not so sure this wasn't canned (definitely not fresh). Salad was also flavorless. read more

Decent food but awful service. Not sure I would return. Food: Mojo Chicken with Rice- literally the worst rice I've ever had. How can rice be under AND over cooked at the same time?? Mushy mound of rice with absolutely no flavor (unsalted) and the occasional crunch of raw ríce (yes raw- not crispy 'pegao' / 'con-con'). The chicken was fine but nothing special. Side of Yucca Fries - These were good. Crispy outside and great dipping sauce. Service: After the food arrived our waitress checked in once and we asked for water....but she never returned. 30 minutes later we were seated with empty plates and she still had not returned. We had to flag her down for the check (and the water), and then had to wait another ten minutes for her to come back with it. Then I watched her take the orders of 2 other tables and then walk right past us without grabbing our check/payment- I had to flag her down to remind her When we left our plates still hadn't been cleared. read more

Service was terrible. The restaurant was dirty. The door handle from the back patio into the restaurant was filthy. Our server dumped the water from our oyster dish to the patio below. I do have to say that the food was delicious but our server was very slow. I don't think we'll be going back. read more

Every time we go to the keys we make sure to stop at sundowners. It is one of my favorite restaurants in key largo and has the best food. The ambience is outstanding, right on the water. This past time it felt they were a little under staffed which happens from time to time but the new manager working really made up for it. He was very helpful and went around to check on a lot of the tables. This place also has the best key lime pie I've ever had in my life. 10/10 if you're looking for somewhere to go. read more

The most disappointing experience I have had in a long time. Service was awful. It took us two hours to get our lunch and it was also awful. This used to be our go to spot in the keys so maybe they changed owners or something . Everyone on the staff looked angry and were walking around seemingly doing nothing. Hopefully they get it together because the view of the bay is amazing. read more

Took forever to bring us our drinks. Then we ask for water and they just never brought it. Ordered 2 lobster bisque soups and bacon wrapped scallops. They take forever to only bring us one soup and not the right one they brought clam chowder. Then they tell us the runner took our scallops to another table so we'll have to wait for them to make new ones and they were cold. Manager came to apologize and offer a free slice of key lime pie. Waited over 10min and just left. They never brought the pie read more

The view!! Sundowners is a nice local spot in Key Largo which is a restaurant and bar. We went on Saturday around 7pm to check our the bar, grab a snack and watch the SUNSET. THE DRINKS: the bar was awesome. some of their specialty drinks included blended and FROZEN beverages like strawberry daiquiris, pina colada's and more! the drinks ranged from $10-$12 THE FOOD: pretty expensive...but typical of a place on the water! they had a variety of seafood, pastas and typical seaside bites like calamari and coconut shrimp. THE ATMOSPHERE: super FUN! they had live music going the entire time we were there. the artist was so talented and played songs from classics to new pop (from Queen to Harry Styles). They get busy...so expect a decently long wait time. Pro Tip: their happy hour has 1/2 prices beverages (well drinks)! read more
