Being first time visitors our waiter (younger guy with light eyes who had recently moved down in November) was extremely helpful and insightful with helping us choose a heart meal for our long drive. We'll definitely be back!

This place is a local favorite, so when traveling back to Miami has ti give it a shot. If you're…read morealready at the point of HANGRY.. then this place might not be it, only because there is a wait, unless you're fortunate enough to find counter space upon arrival. Place is located in a small plaza and has ample space to fit groups of 6 or more. The ambiance has a great local beach feel, cool decorations and pictures. The food was great. Tried the kitchen sink quesadilla and it was 4 huge pieces stuffed with egg, has browns. Sausage, green peppers, mushroom, onion. Definitely very willing and adding their local hot sauce made it an even better treat. Loved how it stayed warm while eating since it was all wrapped. The MM84 breakfast was as simple as can be and a winner , eggs and bacon, has brown and toast. Overall cool spot, would like to come back to try their lobster roll or lobster breakfast.

Sipped on key lime cider. No complaints! Portions are big enough to split or save for leftovers. We will be back next year!

Went there for lunch and absolutely had to say that the blackened grouper Reuben WAS all that! It was nice large sandwich, the grouper was thick and fresh and the blackened seasoning flavored it perfectly. It was served with a side of very crispy kettle chips and with my cold iced tea it was a perfect meal. The service was excellent and I love the decor from the 80s! This is definitely a destination you need to try, especially if they're blackened grouper Reuben! I look forward to the opportunity to stop back in to try something else on their menu. Please make this a destination as it is very easy to drive by and not notice.

We then moved upstairs and grabbed seats at the bar. We ordered the peel and eat shrimp, calamari, and conch fritters. Everything was perfect and came out quickly despite the whole place buzzing. After two more mojitos, we moved to our table upstairs on the balcony. The views were amazing, and the live music on the beach made the whole experience even better. My wife ordered her go-to yellowtail "Lazy Way," which is a must. I had the stuffed whole yellowtail. Everything was excellent, and the portions were abundant. Oh, and did I mention the bread basket, complete with a mini loaf of banana bread! If you haven't been here yet, you need to add it to your list!

I do not know why everyone raves about this place. While there is a wide variety of options,…read morealmost none of them are good. Everything had either too much mayonnaise or too much sauce or was overcooked. It was like they're too worried about the quality of the ingredients or the food to let it stand on its own. This could also be as a result of the cooking of the region. It would've been great to have something light and fresh. I did order a Caesar salad salad, and the dressing tasted like somebody edited ranch dressing. There was no anchovy flavor. The servers are nice, the prices aren't bad, and there is plenty of parking if you don't go on the weekend. The view is nice as well. Other than that, I really don't know if I would eat here again.

I had been…read moresearching all over for a great Key lime martini, and this one absolutely exceeded my expectations. It was perfectly balanced--tart, sweet, smooth, and strong without being overpowering. It was exactly what I had been hoping to find. Our bartender, Megan, made the experience even better. She was incredibly sweet, attentive, and genuinely friendly from start to finish. Since my friend was driving and didn't want alcohol, Megan made her a Key lime margarita-style mocktail that was absolutely delicious and so refreshing. It made my friend feel just as included in the experience, which we really appreciated. The service was outstanding from everyone we encountered. From the host who welcomed us to the team serving our food, everyone was warm, kind, and attentive. Our waters were refilled multiple times without us ever having to ask, and we always felt well taken care of. We ordered the buffalo shrimp, which came out hot, fresh, crispy, and packed with flavor. To finish, we shared the Oreo cheesecake, and it was the perfect ending to our meal. Megan checked in on us throughout our visit, making sure we were enjoying everything, and her genuine hospitality really stood out. This was, without a doubt, the best customer service we've experienced anywhere in the Florida Keys. We can't wait to come back the next time we're in Islamorada!

Tacos were a huge disappointment! Trying to find the fish was almost impossible, tiny pieces! The shrimp was bay size baby shrimp that couldn't be tasted through all the other stuff.
