Videos to entertain day we went. Margaritas were great, frozen drinks didn't seem to have any alcohol. Food average. Our service was great. more

A mediocre dinner that was overpriced. The nachos were good but the other main courses were OK - the shrimp was overpriced & overcooked. Mashed potato was dry and inedible. Much better places with much better prices & quality in the area. Eating here was the biggest regret of our time in Key West. more

Having already been to a Margaritaville, I was expecting wonderful....Not so much here. The food and service was just as good but it lacked in the entertaining department. This one is also very small due to being on Duval Street which is severely overcrowded. I looked forward to the entertaining and was very let down. more

It was good to visit the first Margaritaville. It is smaller than the others without the vocano but has good atmosphere. Our cheeseburgers were fab and there is lots of interesting memorabilia and a small gift shop next door . The staff were very friendly and serve good cocktails . Big screen showing Jimmy Buffet and others and a good... more

Nice visit

As Buffett fans, we usually find our way to a Margartiaville if one is available. After reading the reviews posted here, I guess you can say "your mileage will vary". I had the cuban sandwich and my wife had the crab cakes, both listed in previous reviews. We both enjoyed our meals. In addition our server was very friendly and... more

We ordered Cuban Sandwiches. They were to be made with ham and roast pork. There was no roast pork in the sanwich and there was too much bread. Moreover, the bread should have been flattened. The server ws polite and the restaurant seemed clean enough. But, we felt cheated paying $9.95 each for what should have been cuban sandwiches. more

Atmosphere was fun, good margaritas, but I think that's the only thing the bartender knew how to make! my mojito tasted like a slightly minty club soda. Burger was above average, and they actually got my fries crispy enough! the crab cakes on the other hand were complete crap! 95% bread, and 5% crab...VERY DRY. kitchen was understaffed, and our... more

Got to tell you the Cuban sandwich was really good. The onion rings were also good. Service was great however it was a little noisy. I did think the prices were just a little higher than they should have been but bearable. more

We ate at Margaritaville for lunch the first day of our week-long stay in Key West. We were so pleased by the food, drinks and our waitress! Great way to start off our honeymoon! We visited the restaurant one other time during our stay and the bar one other time as well and were not disappointed. Very touristy but worth... more

I see some not so spectacular reviews on here. wow ! all I can say is my wife and I both had the "Cheeseburger in Paradise" and we both thought our burgers were excellent. Good fries too. This was all we had during our visit, so I can't comment on any of the other food, but apparently we made the... more
