They have specials for each day of the week, and today was Tijuana Tuesday. I had spicy shrimp fajitas and they were sizzling hot, fresh and delicious. It came with sauteed yellow squash, red bell pepper and red onions, plus refried beans and yellow rice. Excellent degree of spice to enhance the flavors without overpowering the dish.It was tr
Review Source:What a surprisingly nice place.  We were met outside by a hostess and escorted indoors and seated.  Everyone we met associated with the place is friendly.  We dined inside though there is very nice and ample seating outside on the water front.  The food here is good, good.  The menu isn't huge but there is something sure to please.  Large selection of unusual bottle beers and some are micro brews.  I'm a non-alcohol beer drinker and was delighted to have three selections offered.  This is unheard of, as most places only offer one.  My sweetie and I had the basket of shrimp.  It includes coleslaw and fries.  Sweet  Potato fries are offered at an additional charge.  We will be back.  If you have a dog on a leash you can dine outside.
Review Source:We drove by this place a few times during our stay in Little Torch Key. Finally stopped and very glad we did.
Had the smoked fish dip to start and it was wonderful.
Tuesday's are Tiajuana Tuesday's. They had a great choice of Mexican dishes. I had the Burrito which was great. Not filled with rice but skirt steak and lettuce, peppers and onions. Rice and beans on the side. Great!!!
My wife had the Mexican Pizza which was also very good.
Took a piece of fried Bannana cheese cake to go. WOW THE BEST!!!
Margarita a little too sour and fish dip was just ok. Lobster BLT was pretty good but our coconut style grouper was a little burnt. Banana cheesecake just right. Nice food and service with good atmosphere.
Loved how the outside seating is along a canal, pretty neat setting with lots to look at.
Great location, on the highway but accessible by boat.  Got  a recommendation from a fellow boater we could pull right up. Island reggae playing lightly in the background, great happy hour deals and the food was good! Ordered the house salad which was okay, if lettuce was crispier it would have been epic. The lobster BLT was super delicious, sweet and great bread, just wish we knew it was fried before we ordered it.  Finished it off with key lime pie which was just the right amount of sweet. Definitely would come back to explore more of the menu.
Review Source:We stopped here for some lunch the other day. The special was fish tacos and they were really good. The fish (snapper) was light and flaky and just perfect. We tried an appetizer of the smoked fish dip with cuban crackers and lime and WHOA. We bought some to take home...it was delicious.
One of the best margaritas we've had...and they've got a good selection of craft beer as well.
So I asked a local what the best place was to get local seafood and I was sent to the Wharf. Â The location is nice and the outdoor and indoor seating is comfortable. Â They had some nice happy hour drink specials and the wait staff was working hard.
However, then I am in the Florida Keys seeking out seafood, I want to be amazed. Â My food started out at the bottom of the likeable scale. Â I look forward to Conch fritters when I come to the Keys so we placed and order for some fritters. Â They were terrible. Â First they were way over cooked, they tasted like they used really old oil to cook them and then it was the chewiest conch I have ever had.
We also ordered the captains platter that include hog fish, coconut shrimp and scallops. Â The scallops and the hog fish were great. Â The hog fish had a very mild flavor and great texture. Â The scallops were a wonderful size, tender and cooked perfectly. Â The shrimp were good, but did not have a lot a flavor.
In addition to tarter sauce they have a Jalapeno chutney that they serve that is a great sweet and spicy flavored sauce. Â I really enjoyed the jalapeno pepper sauce with my scallops. Â Since this was all fried fish, I was really glad to see that they must have used different oil than what they cooked the fritters in. Â The batter was much lighter and did not taste bad. Â I was still concerned through because there was oil pooled on the plate when I was done eating.
The service was quick and friendly. Â They are trying hard but I think that there needs to be just a little more attention to the details in the cooking process.
Our favorite restaurant in the keys!
Service was great. Â Very friendly, helpful, and attentive. Â Food was phenomenal. Â
Very casual feel. Â Went on "Tijuana Tuesday". Â DELICIOUS. Â
reasonably priced. Â For our family of five to eat and DRINK it was under $100.
Has a very "fresh" vibe to it. Â Has a neat little market inside too.
Definitely will return if/when we go back to the keys!
Food was okay, nothing special, and the prices were outrageous for the quality. Who knows, maybe they gave us the tourist menu. My aunt and I both ordered Po Boys. The combination of the size/cut of the bread and the amount of lettuce on the roll, it was just way too big and messy to pick up and eat. I ended up only eating the Mahi and leaving the rest of the sandwich. Â
I'd rather drive up the road to Boondocks Bar and Grill...reasonably priced, delish and live music!
This. Place. Rocks. They have a good selection of craft beer, local fish, and yummy veggies not drowned in butter. Indoor seating as well as waterfront. They also sell organic produce and liquor. Their salads are not organic, but they made me one anyway- no extra charge. Our server was friendly, helpful, and attentive. NOT a tourist trap/ clip joint!
We both had grilled snapper. $23, but easily 3/4 - 1 pound of fish. If you like your fish without anything (butter, oil, etc.) you need to be specific (e.g., "naked" as opposed to "butter on the side.")
Also, yes, skeeters are a problem, but they have table side mosquito-fighters, coils, and buckets of Off! I wish we had a place this awesome back home.
We found this restaurant quite by accident on the way to Key West. Just looked around and saw the sign. About 8-10 cars has been parked at place and that's a good sign. Very original restaurant with fresh seafood. Tasty and fairly inexpensive. Came back here again in a few days for lunch. Plan to come again on the road in miami at the end of our holiday. Highly recommended for seafood lovers!
Review Source:The service here was impeccable! Â Can't say enough about it. Â However, I don't think the food rating the high price posted for the quality. Â I'm an excellent chef, so when I go out, I want to be dazzled. Â Unfortunately, the food was a little bland and basic. Â It's a neat place and convenient to where we are, but the prices were a bit too high for what we got.
Review Source:I ate here twice last weekend and totally enjoyed both meals.
First outing was dinner. Sarah the waitress was fantastic! Super friendly, helpful with the menu and she even brought us bug spray and set out mosquito coils so we could enjoy a little alfresco dining along the waterway!
We enjoyed beers (cannot remember which - something toasted? YUM!) and a very large, very potent passionfruit margarita that seemed to be made from REAL passionfruit. Not a kernel of high fructose corn syrup to be found!
Food:
Smoked fish dip - ranks as one of the best! It came with a generous portion of Cuban crackers, red onion and JALAPEños! Hello!
Mussels diablo - amazing sauce and plenty of toasty bread to soak it up.
Salad with blackened fish - fish was cooked perfectly! The salad was a bit soggy as it came dressed.
Coconut fried lobster - this one didn't entirely work - the lobster was awesome, the coconut breading was awesome, but together it was a bit off. We just picked it apart and ate the components separately though!
We returned for lunch a few days later. This time the service was a bit slow. The margaritas were just as strong and delectable though! I believe this time pineapple, key lime and blood orange flavors were sampled! The food was also very good although to be honest, we had spent the morning drinking beer (it's what's for breakfast!!) on a boat, so my recollection of what was consumed is fuzzy.
There was a snafu with the credit card machine that took some time to sort out, but they were very apologetic about it.
On our way down US 1 we saw the Wharf's big SEAFOOD sign up on the roof just after crossing onto Summerland Key. Â My first thought was "Is this a restaurant or a fish shop?" until I saw the name of the restaurant mostly obscured by big plant beside the front door. Â I agree with another reviewer they could improve their signage.
This restaurant was started by a very experienced restaurateur who claims to have opened the first Mexican place in Key West back in the 70's. Â Just looking around, you could tell you were in good hands. Â Casual but professional ambience, service, the whole package.
It's a cute little place, I get the impression they don't cut corners to provide locally sourced, fresh ingredients. Â The wife and I split the fish of the day basket, which featured red snapper on this day. Â It came fried, but I guess you could also get it grilled (?). Â We didn't ask. Â Our daughter got the kid's fish and fries and it was practically the exact same thing for much less money. Â We can't complain, though, since we all ate fresh fish and fries till we were stuffed for about $20 not counting drinks. Â Pretty good deal IMO. Â As for the drinks, they also had a $4 Mango margarita special and it was delicious. Â
Be sure and stop by the Wharf Bar and Grill if you're heading down the highway. Â I had never heard of Summerland Key, but I think we'll be back.
First, I think this place needs WAY more signage. If I hadn't looked it up on yelp, I would have never stopped there . . . and if I did, it would not have been in search of a meal....maybe in search of bait.
After finding it, I was seating out back. Right on a little canal (and you can pull up in your boat). It actually is really cute in the back and perfect for a lunch in the keys. They also have a bucket with bug spray for you, which is awesome.
There were four of us and one person ordered the triple treat fries as part of their meal. It came out first and it was ENORMOUS. (I later found out all of the portions are huge.) The table inhaled the fries (to jokes from our waitress about how we actually finished them all). But they were awesome - Â wedges, seasoned, and sweet potatoes. Plus, they have three ketchups - habanero, chipotle, and famous house - in order from favorite to least (plus regular Heinz). My suggestion - eat some sweets with the habanero ketchup. It is rockin!
For my real meal, I got the fried oyster basket. (which came with crinkle cut fries - why do they have a 4th secret fry!?) The oysters were DELICIOUS. Fried to perfection, perfect taste, perfect everything except for how full I became.
Also, we had a skinny blonde waitress who was great. Slightly outspoken, but funny and beyond sufficient at her job.
If I were in the keys a few more days I probably would have gone back and ordered the same exact thing.
Wow, what a fantastic place to find while driving to Key West! We are from out of town and were hoping to find a great place for lunch and we did!
This place has great outside seating, right on the water, excellent service and the food is amazing!
We had fresh oysters on the half shell( several options to choose from)
fresh made on site smoked fish dip, amazing!
blackened snapper on a Cesar salad
sweet potato fries
fresh peel and eat shrimp
and chocolate moose.
In fact I am pretty sure they made all of the food was made fresh on site and nothing came out of package or was pre-made or was frozen.
We also had amazing margaritas that came in variety of flavors which they also made the the juice mix for with fresh fruit ( I think). My favorite was blood orange.
This by far is the best road side lunch place I have ever been too!
Excellent ambiance, service and food!
Definitely stop and enjoy a meal. It is worth it to stop and relax a while.
The prices are excellent as well.
Loved this place. Â Shrimp wrapped bacon with Gouda appetizer was yummy. Â BLT with lobster was great. Â Mango coleslaw was delicious. The snapper po boy that my sweetie had was very good and the deep fried banana cheesecake was yummy! Â I'm sure it was all low cal ;).
Our waitress made great suggestions and was friendly and efficient.
12/31/2011 We got three meals that we didn't order and the waitress said she'd bring us the correct ones and never did. Then we got charged extra. We also ordered a side of fries and asked the waitress twice and she forgot those as well. I think they started their tipsy NYE night early.
Review Source:We've eaten here twice, and both times we were impressed by the friendly staff. Â Yesterday was hot and humid so we chose to eat at the Wharf so we didn't have to leave our dog in the car. Â One of the staff was right on it, bringing our pooch a bowl of ice water first thing! Â Beers followed for us, which is the appropriate order for a dog lover. Â We tried the yellowtail snapper and fish tacos. Â The snapper was cooked perfectly, seasoned well and served with a side of delicious cole slaw. Â My fried fish tacos appeared to be slightly overcooked, but when I bit into the fish it was moist flakey and delicious. Â The spanish rice was nice and fluffy with just the right amount of spice, and refried beans contained nice bits of red pepper and fresh onions. Â We also took home some hogfish, which was beautifully translucent and cooked it up for dinner. Â Thanks to the owner and staff for two great meals. Â Go there.
Review Source:We didn't enjoy this place at all! Â The waitress acted like she wished she was elsewhere. Â The food was just so-so...only one choice for salad dressing (a vinaigrette that really wasn't), coconut shrimp didn't have much coconut, grilled dolphin that was swimming in oil, and no suitable dipping sauce for chicken fingers. Â We won't be eating here again!
It appears that they're trying to be too many things...marina, fish market, bar, restaurant. They need to decide and do one thing well...
We went for brunch this labor day weekend, first ones there at 10 of 10, bartender was friendly made us a great bloody Mary while we waited for kitchen to prep....order the lobster Benedict or portabella Benedict, unreal...the seasoning on the English muffin was great. Prices on average with rest of the keys.
Review Source:I had the Lobster BLT as per yelp's recommendation. It was good, but definitely 2 days worth of calories. The atmosphere is quite keys-ey and it has loads of character. The bar area is a lot of fun and gets crowded after dark. The margaritas are very good, but LOADED with sugar.
I give the place three stars because it does what it does well. Which means if you are int he mood for something greasy and fried and LOCAL, this is your place. But, if you are in the market for something not-fried, or with some natural flavor, look elsewhere.
Also, they serve bagged chips.
It is not cheap.
Most of the tables are small, so finding a table for a big group would be difficult.
The service is typical of the Keys, slow and spotty.
This is an incredible place...once people find it, they choose to come back time and time again. Â Honestly, it's one of the best places in the keys...the fisherman bring the fresh catch into the docks at the Wharf straight to the kitchen. Â Everything is prepared extremely well, with fresh ingredients. Â The staff is great...it can accomodate bigger parties...and the happy hour is wonderful. Â Try the margaritas, they are great...and they serve Bombora Vodka in the well...australian vodka distilled from grapes. Â Outstanding! Â
the Lobster BLT is great...any fish special will leave you licking the plate..the pasta diablo...outstanding. Â Cool waterfront seating, and beautiful views! Â Don't miss this gem in the keys!
We love The Wharf!! Â This was a fantastic find for us while visiting the Keys. Â The atmosphere is really laid back, the staff super fast and friendly...the food...yummy good AND this is a Green restaurant (check out their website).
What we ordered:
Dr. Pepper $2.25
Chips & Salsa $3.95...Plentiful.
Fried Shrimp $11.95...Crispy goodness, these aren't wimpy shrimp!
Mussels Diablo $12.95...Fresh and best sauce ever...from what my fiancé says.
Triple Fries $6.95....A combo of sweet potato, steak, and crinkle fries, all of which seasoned very well and it comes with 3 different sauces for your dipping pleasure.
Special Rita 4 @ $3.00...Hands down, the best margaritas we had in the Keys (multiple flavors to choose from).
The Chips and Salsa, Fried Shrimp and Fries were enough for all of us to share while my fiancé hoarded the mussels.  You have a choice of seating, outside by the water or pub style indoors.  They are also home to a fish market...and NO it did not smell fishy!
As Arnold Schwarzenegger said in Terminator, "I'll be back!"
Great place, wonderful food that was very reasonable. Â The place was delightful. Â We sat outside on the pier with our two dogs and the kind server brought them a bowl of cool water. Â As another reviewer said, the sweet potato fries were fantastic as was the fish. Â It was fresh and perfectly grilled.
Review Source:Super cute place. Â A little expensive but when you're in the Keys you usually say "Eff it!"
My favorite samich in the Keys was the Lobster Reuben but honestly it has changed. Â It is now the B.L.T. (bacon, lobster, and tomato) from The Wharf. Â You can not top fried lobster, bacon, lettuce, tomato, and mayo. Â You just can't. Â I have included a pic. Â It speaks for itself.
The Muscles Diablo and the Oyster Basket were also amazing. Â The Mango Coleslaw rules.
Went there again for Sunday Brunch. Â Had the Crab Eggs Benedict and the bf had the Lobster Eggs Benedict.....with home fries....and fresh fruit. Â Per.fect. Â It couldn't have had anything to do with the fact that we did the "Duval Crawl" the night before and I was slightly hungover. Â No, not at all. Â But it was pretty effing amazing.
They're also a "green" kind of place which gets them extra points from me. Â They use local and organic herbs and produce and other sustainable stuff. Â They also have a pretty big selection of organic beers and wines.
