Not much to look at from the outside, but some of the best food we've ever had in the Keys. The shrimp and grits and the fish tacos are simply outstanding, and the overall value cannot be beat. The staff is downright joyful and obviously care deeply about their food and the customer experience. At the same time, very laid... More

Decided to try all the local restaurants that we hadn't visited in some time and one was closed so we ended up here. The four of us had four different shrimp and scallop dishes and they all were very good. Moderate pricing and good food works for us.

We had a great experience at MA's! Even though we came in with a large group, the 2 waitresses working that night did an AMAZING job keeping up with us all. The food was delicious and there are a lot of options- and also good dessert choices. Definitely recommend, especially considering the top-notch service!

Ma's was recommended by a local business owner. I had the famous fish sandwich on grilled sourdough bread with there awesome homemade fries!!! Well worth the calories. I wish we had more time as there were many other items on the menu I would of loved to have. My husband had the cobb salad which was also good but he... More

The third Thursday of the month there is an art walk on Morada Way in islamorada Ma's Fish House is almost on the middle of this charming event. We stopped in and had the scallops and fries as well as a bowl of Bahamian Conch Chowder. The scallops were grilled in a lovely lime, herbed butter which was not oily... More

Food and service lived up to my expectations! Husband had the seafood pasta and I decided to try the grilled chicken dish as a change to my daily fish meal. Both were really good. Service was both friendly and prompt. We shared the key lime pie--best I've ever had--meringue topped--need to share! Highly recommend!!

Islamorada has several good places to eat. We enjoy eating at Ma's and have never been disappointed. If you like spicey, try the Shrimp and Grits or the Gumbo. All the fish dishes are tasty and prepared several different ways. I don't usually have dessert at restaurants but at Ma's the homemade cakes are great. I make sure to save... More

We often choose Ma's for a lunch or dinner. Their fish tacos are wonderful as are many of their menu items. I recommend the shrimp and grits. Save room for the desserts, they are really special.

I couldn't wait to try this place because of all the great reviews ... but we thought the prices were a bit high for a "family friendly" restaurant, the menu was too limited, the food was good (but not anything to write home about), and the service was VERY slow. There *was* a help wanted sign in the window, but... More

Great fresh dishes quickly prepared. Local atmosphere, no fuss, casual. Desserts are award winning and alone are worth the trip.
