Atmosphere: Laid back. 12 tables. Good service. We had a great waitress with a good sense of humor. After taking our order, she disappeared for less than 2 minutes and returned with our salads. She apologized for the long wait (hahaha). Menu: Extensive! Great selection of wine, pastas, meats, and seafood platters. All exceptionally fresh! The homemade blue cheese dressing was exceptional too! The linguine was the default, but they are happy to change out the pasta type upon request. Food for thought: If you have a party of 8+ call in advance by a couple of days. They really only accommodate a party this large one table at a time. The restaurant is small. After an amazing first meal, we tried to return. I called the same day (Friday afternoon), the lady was rather rude and told me "We only got one table, Hun, shoulda thought ahead." I asked about coming in and waiting and she provided another disrespectful response. We tried again on Saturday and the gentleman tried to accommodate us better (ie/ 2 tables). Unfortunately, the timing still didn't work out, so they lost our sale. Tried to get sympathy for working past 9pm (staying open just for the current customers). Note they are closed on Sundays and for most of August for a vacation. Worth the visit overall though! We will try again next time we're in town.

Large outdoor terrace completely shaded and large trees near by for a wonderful breeze! Service: our waitress was super friendly and very fast and accommodating. She made a lot of suggestions about the menu which we appreciated. Food: what I loved the most is that everything was super fresh. We had the fish ceviche. So good!! Good portion as well. Also had the yellowtail sandwich - very fresh! Ordered the taco salad with filet mignon on top! Very good! Steak was cooked perfectly as ordered. Brutus serves breakfast daily and they have Sunday brunch! Love those options! Definitely coming back often! A gem in our neighborhood!

The only thing I noticed was the cook did touch the food with his bare hands and there was no washing in between. I got the corn beef hash with sausage and two eggs. The cook was very good at his craft but just needs to wear two gloves. My meal was good nothing fancy just some good old breakfast. My wife got the biscuits and gravy and her biscuit was so hard and tasted old. It's unfortunate that the delicious gravy was on an old biscuit. The service was excellent and the place is very quaint and totally a local vibe. Not sure if this would be my first choice.

Our second experience brought it down to 3 stars. We had to wait for a bit (which is not a big problem) and were eventually seated at the counter. Even though it was busier, everyone working seemed much more stressed out. We saw a lot of touching of food (toast, bacon) without gloves/washing by the servers. (Perks of sitting at the counter?) About halfway through our meal the owner? manager? started screaming at a table of customers. She said they had been disrespectful to her the day before and again that day, so she demanded they leave and told them their food was on the house. It was Waffle House level of drama, which we didn't expect from sleepy Marathon, FL. The rest of the employees didn't seem phased, so maybe this isn't a rare occurrence? It's worth a try if you want a place that's more locals than tourists, and the food is pretty decent... but be on your best behavior! :)

Food was pretty good, I guess but I probably would like it better if the service wasn't so…read moreterrible. My entire breakfast was cold by the time I got anyone to help us. I got the Waffle Pig, and when the food was delivered asked for a spare plate to put the waffle on (since they just place the waffle and eggs and sausage and bacon in a big pile on one single plate). The plate never came. It took asking 3 different people 4 separate times to get that extra plate. It seems like a problem with the definition of responsibilities? I think each time the person I asked just told someone else I needed a plate and no one ever actually got me a plate. We were visited by at least 5 different people during our meal - they had plenty of people working and it was not super busy yet, so it just seems like a break down of communication. They only accept cash, we needed to use their ATM to get cash - and the ATM fee was higher than if they just accepted cards and charged us the transaction fee on a credit card payment. Overall - decent food, terrible service, nothing that would encourage me to stop again though.

My husband and I took a walk around to check out everything. There's a nice big bar outside near the pool and the music was pumping. Looked like everyone was having a good time.

I ordered the shrimp and grits and it was delicious. Really creamy and it had great flavor. I also had a cup of she crab soup which I enjoyed. My husband had their famous hogfish sandwich which he said was fine. He also had a cheeseburger because he could eat a cheeseburger every day. He said the fish sandwich won over. We would go back to dine and watch the sunset.

This RaceTrac is located in Marathon and seems to be one of only a few stations that I know and trust. It seems I wasn't the only one with this opinion on a weekday morning - this place was busy, either they are competitively priced or they have great coffee, I filled my coffee cup before leaving the campground so I only need a credit card and a empty lane at the fuel island. No issues with the pump everything worked alright including the receipt dispenser. Navigating my exit was a little like playing "frogger" it seemed everyone was in a hurry to exit but me. I exercised my patience and waved a few vehicles on being they apparently were late for something as for me I only need to get behind a line of cars heading south with the windows down and the tunes turned up breathing in the salty air. I'm not saying this is the only option or even the best option to fuel up but it is on the right side of the road if you're heading southbound making your exit and entrance onto the overseas highway pretty easy as for the Jeep she purred like a kitten with her tank filled...
