bhopal21 Posted June 11, 2018 #51 Share Posted June 11, 2018 My mom wants to eat somewhere where she has a view of the water. We just want to make it a lunch stop (so I won't want to take the ferry out to Sunset Key for Latitudes) since we have a bunch of plans for the day including the Butterfly Conservatory, wine tasting, shopping for my godson for something Key West related who's baby shower I am missing because it was the only day the grandmother could schedule and getting Key Lime pie. Any suggestions. I would like some sort of sea food and a good drink! We will be there on Sunday July 29th! Louie's Backyard http://www.louiesbackyard.com will fit her requirements easily and is an excellent place for lunch. Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peter_krynicki Posted June 11, 2018 #52 Share Posted June 11, 2018 A new favorite place for both breakfast and dinner ---> http://offthehookkeywest.com/ The hogfish special: Pjk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keywester33 Posted June 13, 2018 #53 Share Posted June 13, 2018 While I like Off the Hook, it is a small, indoor, dark restaurant without much atmosphere. They also do not have a liquor license (beer and wine only). The recent poster asked for a water view and a good drink. Off the Hook wouldn’t offer either one.

BNBR Posted June 13, 2018 #54 Share Posted June 13, 2018 One place to consider is the restaurant at Margaritaville, Bistro 245. It overlooks the water, Mallory Square, and the cruise ships. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peter_krynicki Posted June 13, 2018 #55 Share Posted June 13, 2018 (edited) For Turtle Kraals, sit upstairs then order a flight of ceviche ---> Yellowtail, scallops, hog fish, and grouper. Take a chance. Pjk Edited June 13, 2018 by peter_krynicki Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaga04 Posted June 13, 2018 #56 Share Posted June 13, 2018 Another option is Southernmost Beach Cafe, near the ocean, just a little further down Duval Street than the Butterfly Conservatory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bxny Posted September 1, 2018 #57 Share Posted September 1, 2018 We liked Red Fish, Blue Fish on Front St. Good food and pleasant wait staff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
parrotfeathers Posted September 2, 2018 #58 Share Posted September 2, 2018 We liked Red Fish, Blue Fish on Front St. Good food and pleasant wait staff. I rarely see anyone comment on Red Fish Blue Fish but I thought my meal was quite enjoyable. Loved the atmosphere too. Plus it's right there close!

dutchclogs Posted September 6, 2018 #59 Share Posted September 6, 2018 Not on the water, but very popular for Sunday brunch, Blue Heaven. This was recommended for key lime pie and did not disappoint! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Host CJSKIDS Posted October 4, 2018 #60 Share Posted October 4, 2018 Garbo's - I loved it, my wife not so much. Its a food truck and she isn't a big fan of them. She did like the fish taco - I loved their burger Love Garbo’s, it’s always our first stop. I’ll be there Friday for lunch! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't fret - Key West has lots of great places for lunch, some of which have been listed above, and most of which are open on Sundays. For another casual, pretty quick place with delicious sandwiches, you might try Fisherman's Cafe (which may have been mentioned above, I don't have time to read through it again now). It's really more like a booth with a small number of outdoor tables, and it's right near the harbor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M&JfromSDL Posted November 15, 2018 #63 Share Posted November 15, 2018 Spent a long weekend in KW earlier this year. Here are a couple of our recommendations: Breakfast - La Grignote Lunch - DJ's Clam Shack, Half Shell Raw Bar (waterfront) Dinner - Nine One Five (loved the cozy bar area upstairs), El Siboney for Cuban Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dejlig Ko Posted January 9, 2019 #64 Share Posted January 9, 2019 For lunch with a view in Key West I'm trying to decide between, Casa Marina at the Waldorf Astoria or Louie's Backyard. Thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thoughts? Definitely stop in at the Casa for a drink at the beach bar. Gorgeous pool area with fantastic views. Never ordered food here, but I'm guessing that Louie's would be far superior but maybe more expensive. Beautiful side of the island. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KYWEST1 Posted January 24, 2019 #68 Share Posted January 24, 2019 I'm surprised no one's mentioned Schooner Wharf for lunch. We're renting bikes on our cruise stop and touring around and ending up at Schooner's for a casual lunch. It's right on the marina (wharf) and a really cool casual open air place with live music all day. It's not for a "foodie" but a great little place for a burger and a beer. It depends on what you're looking for I guess. Also, sunset pier which is right next to mallory square is a fun place to hang out for a quick bite. It's right on the water and easy to get a table (if it's not sunset). They have great conch fritters but I'm not sure about the rest of their menu. More of a place to grab a drink and watch the boats go by. Conch Republic is good food and close to the water (marina area). You might not get to see the ocean from your table (or you might if you're lucky), but it's open sides and situated right next to the water. There are so many places to go. Just rent some bikes and have fun looking. Can't wait to get back! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CT Sean Posted January 25, 2019 #70 Share Posted January 25, 2019 I don't see it mentioned earlier, so I'll mention The Waterfront Brewery. We ate there at least twice (drank there more than twice) on our last trip and everything was very good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been compiling a list of restaurants that sounded interesting to me: Blue Heaven Bliss Bien Garbo's Grill Caroline's El Siboney Chico's Cantina Banana Cafe Green Parrot (mostly for music) Louie's Backyard (lunch special is all we could afford) Can anyone comment on these beyond the mentions we've already seen here for Blue Heaven and Caroline's? Jim Blue Heaven is absolutely amazing - not expensive and usually has live music. Fogerty's on Duval is a fun place to eat and again, not expensive. Also love Charlie Mac's (right behind the Greet Parrot) - you can sit inside or in open air. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Zqueeze1 Posted November 16, 2019 #72 Share Posted November 16, 2019 Caroline’s is one of our favorites if doing lunch on Duval St. For happy hour, we love Half Shells, where we just had a dozen awesome oysters for ten bucks. Anytime after ten, if you are in the mood for pizza or a cheesesteak, hit Mr. Z on Southard St off of Duval. Z and TB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
