All time fave! Perfect seafood and quaint fish house atmosphere. Not on the water but who cares at night? The closer to the water the more expensive restaunts get, food less Get the Matecumbe yellow tail snapper or grouper. I like it with plain pasta on the side. Hands down, the best prep ever! Just go, trust me! read more

Honest review The portions are filling The flavor middle of road The prices way to high 6 people No alcohol 4 appetizers 6 main $350+ was the total Service was great Atmosphere nice For me not a good value read more

Started with the lobster bisque, which was good with crackers and just as good without. Got the larger size and it was genuinely a big bowl, loaded with nice thin chunks of lobster. The Matecumbe was the standout of the night. Yellow tail with rice and black beans. Best flavor of everything we ordered. Also had the shrimp and scallop key lime, which was a large portion and very good. The mushrooms were a nice touch, and it comes with rice, corn, and coleslaw. One of the owners, Chris mentioned a 45 minute wait but got us set up at the bar within five minutes. We were grateful for that. I had asked him, should we wait or just move on? He replied, "We are worth the wait." And I'll tell you, that's the truth! The place was packed and had great energy and great food! Definitely worth the wait. read more

We stopped at The Fish House on the way to Key West, mostly because the owner is married to my mom's cousin and we wanted to try her restaurant! She was not there, did not know we were coming and our meal was not comped, so this is an honest review. The place was super busy and two of the waitstaff were assigned to each table. The menu is almost entirely seafood, which is why it's called The Fish House. There is a steak and I saw chicken, but the rest all comes from the sea. Not being someone who likes fish often, I went with my favorite, Mahi-Mahi. There are several options for seasoning and I did the Jamaican jerk. I really, really enjoyed it! It had great flavors and the fish just melted. I got rice and beans as my sides and the black beans were cooked in bay leaves and some kind of seasoning and paired really well together. My mom got coconut shrimp and my dad got some kind of scallops and shrimp over rice and it also had mushrooms in it. I didn't get a photo of his food. We were also convinced to try the Key Lime pie, which was my least favorite of our meal. This one had a meringue on top and I didn't like that addition. The pie was also not as tart as I'd like so personally the pie was more a 3 but the rest of the meal was definitely a 4. Cute inside and has lots of personality. There is also some outdoor seating although that wasn't open when we were there. Would 100 percent recommend stopping here on your drive through the Florida Keys. read more

Wow, extremely busy local seafood restaurant. Arrived on Saturday night without a reservation and waited only ten minutes for a table. They had a port hole on both sides of the dining room with moving water. A few of the meals were market price and had to ask the server who needed to smile more but was attentive. The grilled mahi-mahi was excellent and the crispy fries were good too. Not too many places have great cole slaw but this one was sweet with a nice texture. The gender assigned bathroom had basic decor with a posted Ecolab hand soaping instruction guide. Hey, every little bit helps when trying to keep a sanitary kitchen and dining room. read more

This place was cool. Came on a Friday night and barely waited 10 mins which was awesome. It was packed with people. Everyone is close together but nobody bothered us. Our food came quickly after ordering. We just got some apps and drinks. Everything was really good! Deff a great stop to grab some seafood! read more

So The Fish House was a bright spot in an otherwise uninspiring culinary experience during our most recent trip to the Florida Keys, The restaurant itself has some serious homegrown Florida vibes with many unique decorations and accoutrements all over the restaurant, loosely pirate themed. It was featured on Diners Drive In's and Dives as well. We were seated in a little alcove near the entrance which gave our group a private space. Service was prompt and friendly and we really enjoyed the whole thing. I got the mahi mahi maracumbe style, which was recommended by our server as a house specialty. It did not disappoint! It was light, flavorful, and quite surprisingly really one of the most delicious fish dishes I've ever had at a restaurant. Everyone else enjoyed their food as well. We had key lime pie with meringue for desert which was also fabulous. Overall it lived up to the hype. Five stars read more

The only positive thing I can say about Fish House is that the staff was friendly and the service was quick. Unfortunately, good service can't make up for prices that are completely out of touch with reality. I came here expecting fresh local seafood, not sticker shock. We spent nearly $100 for two people, one appetizer, and absolutely no alcoholic beverages. That's outrageous for what we received. The Snapper Fish & Chips was especially disappointing. Over $40 for a fish-and-chips basket is ridiculous, regardless of what type of fish is being used. It's not as if you're serving a massive portion of fish. The sautéed snapper tasted better, but even that dish felt overpriced, especially when it's being served with rice and beans. What makes it even harder to understand is that this is the Florida Keys, surrounded by water and known for seafood. Yet the menu prices make it feel like the fish was flown in from another continent. The quality simply doesn't justify the cost. I don't mind paying premium prices for an exceptional meal. What I do mind is paying premium prices for average portions and ordinary food. Fish House has friendly employees and fast service, but those positives aren't enough to overcome the absurd pricing. There are too many other restaurants in the Keys offering better value. I won't be returning, and I can't recommend this place to anyone looking for a reasonably priced seafood meal. read more

Flying in to Florida that morning, our Day 1 lunch was at The Fish House. Arriving at 11:30am on a Saturday, we were immediately seated and given menus. My wife picked the fried cracked conch and fries while I selected the Jamaican jerk mango mahi sandwich with a side of coleslaw, and we both had waters. We all enjoyed the nautical novelty theme of the dining room, and felt badly for whomever had to change the bulbs in the hundreds of lights running across the ceiling. The video 'port holes' were also a fresh new twist. The tables were very close together, and it was difficult to go to the restroom without bumping into someone. Speaking of the restrooms, my wife and I both hated the coconut salt soap you had to spoon up to wash your hands. Our food was ready pretty quickly, and everyone agreed it was good to very good. My blackened mahi was -as advertised- lightly blackened without being overpowered, and tasted very good, and likewise with the coleslaw. My wife said her fried cracked conch was flavourful and good, but not as tender as she has enjoyed elsewhere. Service was a bit slow, and getting water refills took some time, as did getting our bills. Pros: décor, fresh seafood selection, good to very good flavours Cons: fresh seafood is always expensive (even in the Florida), slow-ish service, everyone touching the same soap spoon in the restroom squicked us all out Overall we found The Fish House to be Good, and would return. read more

The Fish House - Jerked Mahi Sandwich, with a side of coleslaw - Seafood Near Me - Key Largo, Florida

Dec. 2025 We were here ten months ago and sat inside. It was crowded back then, and again this time during the Christmas season. This place has gotten some upgrades to their outdoor patio with a mobile bar with overly loud music and portable toilets which is nice since there is only one toilet inside for each gender, but the two servers outside were overwhelmed with people and weren't very attentive for the outside space. The lobster bisque was horrible with no lobster flavor and was an amalgamation of gelatinous roux. Do not get. The clam chowder was not fresh either and tasted like it was from a can. It just seems that the attention to detail on homemade items is just not there. I'll not waste your time reading about all the poor food preparation and how inattentive our server was. I'll not come back until I know their food and their servers are better. Might be a year or two as there are plenty of other places to enjoy a good meal. read more

We went to visit the Fish House the other night and had a wonderful meal and a good time!I hadn't been to FH in decades, 30'years later and the food and service is still fantastic. The food had my lady cooing with delight. These folks do fish and cocktails right. They also have desserts they tell me are the best on the rock...order the key-lime pie and report Back! You will love the place! read more

We had an OK experience at The Fish House... lots of glitz and glitter, but we food the food mostly lacking... with a couple of exceptions! We had cocktails (coconut martini and Cadillac margaritas), both good. Appetizers included the crab cake and smoked fish appetizer... crab cake, average, fresh, but we prefer the NE lump crab style. Smoked fish, while unique, we found it underwhelming. Entrees included the fried seafood combo and the matecumbe yellowfin. Most of the fried seafood was old, overcooked. Exception the fried scallops, they were outstanding! Similarly, the yellowfin matecumbe was fantastic. Those two seafoods were exceptional. Desserts included coconut ice cream, frozen ice cube of coconut, and coconut key lime pie. Not sure what was on top of the pie, but the putty, spongy pink topped coconut was weird. A couple of hits, mostly misses. Cannot recommend you visit. read more

Came here specifically for the key lime pie! It was highly recommended! The ambiance here is really cute. A lot of people visiting but it worked like a fine oiled machine. Service was fast and they had more than enough workers to run the place. I ordered at the register. This was my first key lime in the keys. And it didn't disappoint! Most people don't like the meringue but I LOVED IT. Can't wait to get another the next trip! read more

We stopped for lunch on our way down to Key West. The gravel parking is plentiful and sets the stage for the tasty lunch we had. The restaurant is vintage and you really feel the atmosphere as you walk to the door. The inside is cool and dark. The waiter greeted us with a smile and pointed us to a booth quickly! The menu is just what I expected from a highway adjacent, watering hole in Key Largo! We quickly agreed on the fried clam strips and the peel and eat shrimp. They were both delicious! I had the iced tea, but the cold beer selection looked very tempting. The food arrived quickly and it was delish! When we walked out we were full and happy facing the long drive to the Southernmost point in the US! read more

We came for an early dinner on a Saturday and were seated quickly. The staff work as a team to make sure all tables are attended, which is nice. The fish and steak we had were both cooked to order and nice and hot when they arrived, unfortunately the side dishes were not and the French fries in particular were cold. Overall, the food had a good flavor and the restaurant matched the laidback vibe of the Keys. read more

No reservations its 1st come 1st served opens at 11am we arrived shortly thereafter and was seated promptly.Service was fast and friendly and our server went over the offerings clearly and plainly, he is also a charter boat captain which added to the authentic feel, once we ordered the food was served within 10 minutes.

I've been here 1 million times and the fish house really is one of the most consistent places for good tasting and very fresh fish.

Don't let the looks fool you -- like most spots in the Keys, it's a little dated inside, but the service and food more than make up for it. We walked in with fresh fish from our trip, and before we even sat down, our waitress grabbed it and got things rolling. She gave us a bunch of options for how we wanted it cooked, which was super helpful. We went with blackened tuna, grilled mahi with lemon butter, and fried snapper -- and they absolutely nailed it. Everything was cooked perfectly. If you're fishing in the Keys, this is the spot to bring your catch. They'll cook it up exactly how you like it. Super chill vibe, great food, and good service. Would definitely go back. read more

Foods: they are OK, somewhat fresh but nothing spectacular. For the price they charge, I actually expected airflown inventory with tip top freshness. Ambiance: interesting LED lights everywhere on the ceiling but it gave me a touristy vibe. Lighting is dim. Space: a little tight and I had to walk on egg-shells, being careful not brush past other people or trip over anything in the dimly lit rooms. Conclusion: would I return? Probably not, it was too touristy for my taste. read more

What is great spot to spot at in Key Largo!! Right of 1. Cozy place, decorated with lots of art work that is for sale. Service was very fast and our food was fantastic. We both had Matecumbe, one with yellow tail snapper the other with Mahi Mah, what a great combination; also some raw oysters. To finish it off we had the coconut lime pie. I believe that is the best I have had. Great place to stop in!!! read more

The famous and very popular Fish House located in Key Largo. It robust location has a great ambiance with various types and variations of its cooking its fish! You can have it fried, pan sautéed, grilled, broiled, jerked, and other options that will leave your taste buds feeling and wanting them all! The place suggests to its guests the highly recommended "matecumbe" style of cooking. Although service waiter is a bit nerve racking waiting for him or her to come around, did not check on how food was presented and therefore I enhanced it to below expectations. Parking may be an issue if arriving during peak hours 5-7 p.m. weekends. So pack your patience- after all your in the Keys! So relax and enjoy - did I mention it has a full functioning bar, so as you wait the best awaits you while you sip on your best drinks the place has to offer read more
