This was my honeymoon meat cheat, the jerked mahi-mahi sandwich was really everything it needed to be. The conch chowder did a great job of not overpowering any of the flavors, and you can really pick out the fresh tomatoes and onions as well as the conch itself which they do not skimp on. Also the fries, I'm not usually a fry eater but these were pretty tasty. The music was good and the rum punch was not too sweet and not to rummy.
The live music is nice and the speakers are set up with quite a bit of care, not a bad seat in the house, and a pretty charming dining in your buddy's back yard feel.
I have been to Key West Many Many times and I normally stick with the old Favorites, but if this place keeps it up they will be strong and active 20 years from now! Â Food Was great, prices fair, Outside dining awesome, and very close to the action without the congestion or noise. Â
Go!
Great place to listen to live music! Â Even on a Sunday night!!!! Â The night we were there was Rusty Lemmon and Caffeine Carl! Â Awesome band!!
There are trees growing inside the place, very unique!
We ate there; I had the baked hogfish in a ginger soy sauce with new potatoes and the corn! Â Very good! Â Moist and flavorful, tasted fresh! Â My husband ate the Mahi Mahi fried sandwich and he said it was the best! Â He just ate one at the Island Fish Co. in Marathon the prior night and it was awful, tasted fishy and not fresh, this blew it away!!
Our waitress, Kayla, was very friendly and gave us the recommendations! Â Highly recommend you check this place out! Â It's just off of Duvall Street near Sloppy Joe's and the Hog's Breath. Â Like them on Facebook, they update regularly to let you know who is playing and what's going on!!
So excited to be on vacation and decided to hit up our first bar for the day. We came across smokin tuna and boy was it a mistake. Our waitress was so rude when she took our order. We showed her our check in from yelp and tried to redeem our free conch fritter but all we got was an attitude and she rolled her eyes at us. If you you're looking big attitude to ruin your day this is definitaly the place to be. Btw after going back and forth with the waitess they finally gave us three pieces of conch fritter when the menu clearly stated six pieces. Â Ps don't offer coupons if you're going to give us a hard time about it. Â Here's a big tip go to Irish Kevin's instead.
Review Source:Nothing will get me somewhere faster than a 2-for-1 coupon. That being said, we came upon this restaurant as we were walking the strip and were handed a flier. I liked the private courtyard. I also really liked the blueberry beer.
There were 5 of us traveling together so collectively we decided to make this our dinner locale.
I really, really don't like one of the guys in our group of 5, but even he couldn't ruin my time spent at the Smoking Tuna Saloon. Sure, he tried. But he failed.
My best friend and I shared the Acapulco dip (shrimp, scallops, snow crab, creamy salsa & cheese), which was phenomenal. The only thing that could have made it better would be an upgrade on the chips they served it with. They weren't stale...I just would have preferred something lighter, thinner and less like your typical grocery store tortilla chip (that gets served at every house party with jarred grocery store salsa). Regardless, we ate every bite.
Our female server handled our group like a pro. She made great suggestions, got everything right, was super friendly and took your typical tourist photo's for us of our group. I didn't catch her name, but she was blond and we were in on  the evening of 1/12/13.
That evening they had a solo singer who played guitar. He was great! He played "Walking in Memphis" that would make Marc Cohn proud.
The "Saloon" reminded me of a tree house. I especially loved the twinkly lights.
The guy in our group that I like would say his favorite thing was the beer and the fact that they were playing the NFL games - in every corner (so no matter which direction you faced, you could watch it). As for the guy in our group that I don't like, who cares what he liked. It was unfortunate the fish was fresh and that he didn't get food poisoning. ha ha
Every time we come here we have a great time. Â The atmosphere is fantastic and the location is just off of the main crowded Duval area. Â Beth greets us with a smile and takes great care of us in both food and drinks. Â The live music is always good and everyone there is having a good time.
At first we were a little apprehensive about eating there, but no worries! Â The stone crab were excellent, not watery at all and very fresh.
We went to Smoking Tuna and wow it has gotten so much better than last year. The bartender Robert was so informative and attentive to all of our needs. We were asking for somewhere to eat and he laughed and said there with him and it has been the best food our whole trip so far. Thank you Robert you are the bomb.
Review Source:We stumbled upon this place as it is hidden away from the direct view of Duval Street. We had just left Kelly's Caribbean restaurant after deciding with the bitter hostess and waitress and the empty dining area that it wouldn't be worth eating dinner there. So we were so happy to see the Smokin' Tuna! The menu actually looks so much better than the one at Kelly's. More options, for sure. Don't forget to use the yelp check-in offer for free conch fritters. I had wanted to try some while in the Keys. Delicious! I had the breaded butterfly shrimp and my husband had the cheeseburger. Now, I don't normally eat beef and I am telling you that it smelled SO good that I had to have a couple of bites of his cheeseburger!!! It was really delicious!!!!!!! My in laws enjoyed their meal a lot. My aunt was surprised as to how good her fish caesar salad was.
It was Sunday at 8:30 pm and they had live music going on and a lot of people at the bar.... totally the polar opposite of what was going on (or not going on) at Kelly's.
Totally recommend and will be returning the next time I am in the Keys!
The good: Â Nice outdoor setting away from the main drag. Â Good service, nice people. Â The tuna dip and margaritas were good.
The bad: Â Music too loud for conversation (but that may be a personal preference). Â The tuna dip was served with a pile of crackers wrapped in cellophane...2 crackers in each pack. Â It was a real hassle opening up all those packets. Â We also ordered fish & chips (mahi-mahi). Â They were more like fish nuggets, dry and pretty flavorless.
Would not go back.
If you are looking for a place nestled off the main drag with some great live music, you must stop here! Â My group had already eaten dinner, so we just got a few snacks to share. Â The shrimp dip was great. The fritters were some of the best. The smokin tuna dip was fiery hot perfection. Â I would definitely come back here again to enjoy the excellent live music and beautiful courtyard.
Review Source:No cover charge or tickets required at this new (2011) bar featuring talented musicians, accomplished singer songwriters, and recording artists. This part outside/part inside saloon serves up high quality sounds and lots of fun! Two bar areas and plenty of table seating pleases everyone and an enormous tree in the middle of the place adds charm. Â Now a recently added chef is serving quality local-inspired food at reasonable prices. Key West keeps getting better!
Review Source:The Fury sunset Catamaran cruise was cancelled. Â Too much wind and possible storms. Â Plan B by our coordinator move to Smokin' Tuna with the prepared food, cake (my birthday), photographers, and 45 guests. Â We are inside at an adjoining room to the courtyard which is the center of activity ..bars and music. It works. The staff fantastic, bartender great (open freakin' bar). Â And we enjoy our sunset cruise but back off Duval. Â Can't rate the food as it came from another restaurant. Â But the music was wonderful and the unique location won over some very difficult critics. Â So if you are coming from the waterfront hand a right at the strip club, go down the ally and it's on the left.
