The vibe was nice ,a little trashy ,but being fathers day you attributed it to that. But when you ordered ,they were out of clams ,mac... More

After reading about Alabama Jacks, decided we had to stop there on the way to our first Keys vacation. Well, the four of us were glas we did (2 couples). Call it "eccentric", call it "ramshackle", but call it unique. It doesn't look like much from the outside, but what a fun (and scenic) place to stop for some good... More

I have been waiting years to have a chance to eat at this famous landmark, famous for its conch fritters. I'm not a conch lover, so I chose a fried yellow snapper sandwich with onion rings. I am an onion ring snob, so I always ask whether they are made fresh or frozen. The waitress assured me the onion rings... More

When you arrive, it looks like it's ready to fall into the bayou and mangroves. But, it really is set in the "Keys Attitude". You forget the time it takes, but remember the time spent. Great service and great fresh food can be expected. It unwinds you. We stopped there on a road trip thru the Keys and it was... More

All the reviews were so good about this place. I even saw Emeril review it on television a month or so ago. May have been an off day. The Conch Fritters were really bad. When you found a bit of conch it was like chewing on rubber. There wasn't really any taste other than batter. I think it probably is... More

We love this place and come here whenever we're on vacation... At least twice! Nice, friendly, quick service. There's often a band playing and you can request your own song often. The conch fritters are great but my favourites are the coconut prawns. The sides are good too. Somewhere you can really kick back and relax and enjoy the scenery.... More

We always love eating there because you never know what or who you will see. The patrons are so eclectic, that's what makes it so much fun. From the fishermen to the plaid short crowd all chow down. I was really looking forward to my conch fritters, remembering the crunchy - tasty ones I ate last year BUT this year... More

We had lunch one day here in early April. We loved the location, the scenery, off the beaten path, and could easily imagine spending an afternoon here just having a few beers and hanging out with friends. That said, the food was not as great as we expected: the conch fritters and the crab cakes were ok but the fish... More
