Had very interesting food and drink selection. Not too pricey either. Another great place you can over look if not pointed towards it, or just finding it by chance.

I was so disappointing by the hogfish sandwich special. I typically expect a good size piece of fish when getting a fish sandwich in the keys as it's caught local. There might have been 4 oz of fish on this one, with a giant bun...ended up peeling half the bun away. The atmosphere in this place is pretty dinghy as... More

As a traveler its always best to find where the locals go, and in Islamorada this is growing to be the hangout for the locals. Its tucked away in a nice location. The food is very good and we usually enjoy the live music in the evening.

They also have a hotel and marina which are very... More

I heard about Smuggler's Cove from a friend and decided to try it, although I was apprehensive due to the "bar" part. Bars often do not have great food. Not the case with Smuggler's. My family was in town for the Conch Fit event at Smuggler's, so we decided that was the perfect time to try the food. I had... More
