There are many less touristy places that have less expensive food and the same sunset. That said if you just want a key west experience then walking out onto this pier for sunset is a must! Food is good, drinks are good and views and service are great!

The Sunset Pier is adjacent to Mallory Square. It is very casual. We were the first ones on the pier. The chairs were stools, which I find very uncomfortable, also the pier gets quite hot. There were a number of chairs with backs. Randi, our waitress, was great and didn't rush us while we decided on our drinks, and food. There was music as you got closer to Sunset. Try the Key Lime Pie. It is the official pie of Florida. We walked back to Mallory Square for the Sunset, but you can enjoy the Sunset right from the Sunset Pier, and enjoy the band.

If you want to have a great time and watch the sun set on the west coast while in key west, this is your place to go!!! We sat out on the pier and you can see the beautiful gulf. The sunset here was gorgeous! The food was great, but I was so busy taking in the views that I forgot to snag pictures. They have draft beer, bottle and a full bar. Lots of local craft beers as well. They have a great stage for live music and room for a dance floor on the pier. Our server was so fun, even dancing with us. She also recommended several other good spots to check out while we were there. Definitely a must do when in Key West!

Watch boats and watersports from sunset pier

Perfect place to enjoy a meal with a view in Key West. The atmosphere is laid-back with live music, colorful seating, and unbeatable sunset views right over the water. Food and drinks are good, with quick service but it's really the location that makes this spot special. Great place to just sit back, relax, and take in the island vibe.

Nothing fancy, but as the name states, Sunset pier is the best place to watch the sunset. Arrives early, order some drinks and apps and stay for dinner with live music. Service is average, but the food was good. Ceviche, mahi mahi sandwich and tacos, tuna poke, were the stars of our experience second to the sunset of course

Mexican Street Corn and Chicken Salad
Ally R.

The employees were so nice! The mango smoothie was fun, and the mexican street corn and chicken salad was also

Poke bowl
Holly S.

We got the lobster roll and poke bowl and both were great! Ambiance was exactly what we were looking for with the live music, breeze, views and chill vibes. Also got a Bloody Maria that was pretty good too. French fries were a bit salty and lobster roll didn't have mayo which was different but delicious. Definitely recommend coming here and maybe even for the sunset too.

Happened upon this because we heard the Key West Chick Fest was playing there. Was looking to watch the sunset in Mallory Square but recognized we were very close to SSP. Just had drinks so can't comment on the food, but the setting along the water, listening to music, and watching the sunset is awesome (and the drinks were good too).

Food: 2.5 stars Service: 3 starts People Atmosphere: 2.5 Sunset Atmosphere: 10/5 Stars Go for the sunset, have a drink and perhaps munchies. Excellent place to watch the beautiful Key West Sunsets with a drink and munchies. We shared ceviche (which was good and fresh), grilled fish tacos (good), and something else that we do not remember. Nothing remarkable with a Glorious View of Sunsets

Drinks. The drink on the left was the pina colada; the right, Paloma (not recommended)

The Sunset Pier has a great location and we enjoyed sitting on the pier while a young woman sang and played guitar. She was really enjoyable. The view is the draw and didn't disappoint but we had less than a great experience. First and foremost, the service was very slow when ordering or getting the check but the food came out quickly by a different person. I ordered a Paloma and it was awful. I didn't complain but can say that I would not recommend this drink. It was sour. My husband's pina colada was excellent. I ordered a lobster roll (served with fries) and although it was not traditional, there was plenty of lobster and the bun was toasted. My husband's burger was very large and greasy. For dessert, the key lime pie was quite good. Finally, the bathrooms are located in the parking garage nearby and I had to ask for directions. The bathrooms were not clean and one of two toilets was not working.

Ships going by the pier

Very nice casual place to come and have some drinks or order food while watching the sunset! Does get crowded about 1 hour before the sunset so you might want to come a little bit before. Lots of ships and jet skis going by and a lot of seating.

Did not come for sunset, but stopped by for lunch on a Saturday and had a great time. The male bartender was awesome, easy to chat with, and made delicious drinks. He constantly kept making sure we were taken care of even when they started getting busy. We tried some of the smaller plate options and they were a win all around. Pretzels and the shrimp tostada Obviously the view is beautiful and the colorful chairs and tables with the island music paints the perfect picture!

Joe C.

Let's get to the point. It's all about the view. You will pay almost double for the same food elsewhere. If you're ok with that then this place is for you. The food is good, our server was great. My 3 stars reflect the overpriced food.

See all

Food was average. And lobster roll was poor. Too much filling, not enough lobster and a higher price than many other restaurants in key west

What time is sunset?

Is it hard to get a table to watch the sunset and just have drinks?

Hi there! Tables are first come first served As long as you get there about 1hr 30minutes before sunset you should be able to find a table on the pier. Me and my friend… Read more

Before going into the details of the food, I want to begin by taking a minute to recognize Jackie…read moreour server. From the moment we entered the restaurant to the long after time of our departure, she continuously greeted us with excitement, joined us in conversation, and even helped us capture moments in pictures. She really helped make this a memorable experience for us. Now to the food. So I have had Broils in multiple areas of the country. From Maraylamd, Texas and to the Low Country of Charlestin SC, but I have never had as tasty of Broil as I just had at the Yummy Crab in Key West Florida. I mean this place was absolutely amazing! The flavor of every piece of crab, corn, crawfish, shrimp, sasauge and potatoes in the dripping wet cajun sauce served in a bag to retain all that juice, flavor and aroma was all nearly too much to contain. So glad of all the wonderful places on the island we had to eat we chose this place. Thank you Jackie for your outstanding hospitality and service. You are amazing!

So disappointing, I seen that this place had good reviews…read moreso family and I decided to try this place. Plus seaside has to be good and fresh. Well we're a big group we did get seating fairly fast beside them having to out tables together they weren't busy at all. Once we got seating we wait for a good 10 mins or so for menus we had to eventually grab our selves. A couple walked in few minutes after us and got their menu as they sat down Now the boil. The spice they had for the boil had a sweet taste might have been the premade seafood boil seasoning. Thats what it tasted like to me .Wasn't to my liking. Something was eh about it. The fried oysters had a but if a fishy taste no go. I know a lot of places weights the seafood but the portions when they came out it was more like they added more corn and potatoes. For the price definitely wasn't worth it.

A must visit in key west!…read more Reservations for outside I have heard sell out weeks in advance. We were able to get a reservation inside. I was a little bummed we didn't get to see the view, but the ambiance inside is lovely too. Their menus light up which was so helpful in a dark restaurant. Our server was super helpful and made some great recommendations. We tried a few different small plates to share and enjoyed a few cocktails. Absolutely love the desserts here. The bread pudding and key lime pie were to die for! Price wise this was a bit expensive but we paid comparable for less nice places in key west so I would say this is 100% worth a stop.

This was our first time in Key West, and we made a reservation here to celebrate my wife's birthday…read morewith a group of six. It was a beautiful evening, and we were seated with a lovely view of the waterfront. Overall, it was a very enjoyable experience, and we were happy we chose this restaurant. Food: I always enjoy when a restaurant offers a creative and inventive cocktail menu. I won't go into detail on each one, but they were all very good, especially the Spiced Old Fashioned. At our server's suggestion, we ordered a couple of plates of the Grilled Ciabatta Bread. The bread was nicely grilled, and the roasted garlic manchego butter made it especially delicious. I normally try not to fill up on bread, but this was absolutely worth it. We ordered an eclectic mix of small and large plates. Some of the standout dishes included the Lobster Mac and Cheese, Swordfish, and Crab Cake. The Brussels sprouts took top honors, perfectly roasted without being greasy, full of flavor, and complemented by a generous amount of bacon. The one disappointment was the Pork Shank Osso Buco. While it was tender, it was only warm and a bit underseasoned. It was good, but not great, especially for someone who enjoys pork shank dishes. We saved room for dessert, and they were all crowd pleasers. My personal favorite was the Cuban Bread Pudding. The Chocolate Pistachio Crème Brûlée was also unique and delicious. Service: We had reservations for 7:30 and were seated promptly. The hostess and our server did a great job of making us feel welcome. The entire two-hour meal was well paced, and we always felt attended to. I was especially impressed with the backlit menu portfolios. They made it easy to read in the evening without guests needing to use their phone flashlights, which was a thoughtful and effective use of technology. Since we were celebrating a birthday, they placed a sign on the table acknowledging the occasion, which was a nice touch. It would have been even better if one of the desserts had included a lit candle. Atmosphere: The setting is beautiful. We were seated in a smaller dining room with several other tables. When we first arrived, there was a larger, very boisterous group nearby, and it made it difficult to hear our server. Fortunately, they left about 30 minutes into our meal, and the atmosphere became much more relaxed and enjoyable. Our waterfront view added to the experience. This was a very special evening. It was also the most expensive meal we had in Key West, so it was reasonable to have high expectations. With a few improvements, it could have been a five-star experience. Definitely a place we would return to.
