IMO there are few places that compare to the fun to be had at Louie's Afterdeck and the food and drinks are the bonus. The Red Snapper sandwich and the Calamari I had were both excellet. They serve a chipolte sauce which is a great addition to the calamari. The mojitos are definitely worth trying and then there is the... more

My family and I had Thanksgiving dinner at Louie's in 2009 and were very pleased with the whole experience. We liked the polished, modern appearance of the interior and appreciated the style and warmth of the staff. The wine list was large and interesting. Beer selections, however, were limited -- a peculiarity we also found in many other restaurants in... more

My husband and I were in Key West recently. I had seen great reviews on Tripadvisor for Louie's Backyard and was very interested. We were really wanting a restaurant on the water and this place was perfect. We made reservations 45 minutes befor sundown and had drinks on the deck overlooking the ocean. Although the sun does not set on... more

My wife and I have been two times. This is some of the best food on the island. It's a much more formal than anything I have found on Key West, but the food is SO FINE. more

Just returned from Key West and have to admit we had lunch at Louie's Backyard every single day! Love the deck area - fantastic view. We've eaten in the main restaurant but really prefer the bar and the deck for lunch - good variety on the menu - the shrimp salad sandwich is a must! New item this year -... more

This restaurant was recommended to us just for drinks on the deck overlooking the ocean, and the setting and drinks were so good that we decided to stay for dinner. The staff was great about accomodating us without a reservation (which I would recommend), and the food and service were first-rate. My husband and I split an appetizer and a... more

Food here was great but a bit over priced. The view is breathtaking. You're basically paying for the view. The truffle butter lobster was out of this world. more

I was in Key West with friends on vacation and Louie's Backyard was a must (or so we were told). The deck has an amazing view. I would recommend going for a drink. However, don't BOTHER eating. The food is HIGHLY overated. I have paid a lot of money for a great meal, and who minds when the food is... more

If you're looking for a great place to have a wonderful meal, this is it. Located right on the beach, we spent our 30th wedding anniversary enjoying the ocean breeze and a perfectly prepared meal of fresh fish and magnificent dessert. Great service at a great price. The next time we visit the Keys Louie's will definitely be on our... more
