Stopped in once to Margaritaville, only because my boyfriend was really hungry....he ordered buffalo wings and ate every single one of them. If you ask him, the food he had was absolutely amazing. I wasn't really hungry but had heard that there was good key lime pie to be had..... WRONG. You'll easily have more (and MUCH better) pie from... more

We just stopped in for a Margaritta, which I expected to be the best anywhere, only to be very disappointed in the drink (Not much alcohol), the glass (an ordinary water glass), the service (took us a half hour to receive and drink 1 drink), and the atmosphere (A big screen TV playing Jimmy Buffet music). The place was hot... more

You can not make reservations but you can call ahead of time to request Priority Seating (-----------) I had not made arrangements as I had planned to avoid the place at all cost. Now my review. Heck, I am an old fuddy duddy and I did not go willingly (more like kicking and screaming no) to the Margarittaville Cafe. The... more

This was one of the worst dining experiences in a long time and they really did not care. The food arrived not a described on the menu. I was told they don't prepare it that way anymor ejust because it is on the menu. It was an extremely small and uninspired menu to begin with that they should have been... more

We did not eat there due to the high prices for what appeared to be average food. However, we did stop for drinks. Very slow service for not being very busy. However, this was the best Strawberry Daiquiri I had on the whole trip. As this is a Key West landmark/tradition, we felt compelled to stop in for a drink. more

Food was Ok but I can cook a better cheeseburger on my grill at home. Did have to get the "cheeseburger in paradise" though and a t-shirt. Thought that the food was a little pricey as, for example, the let me try a bite of the key lime pie that they have for $5.99. The "piece" was very small for... more

We kept walking past seeing how busy this place was, so presumed that it must be good - so wrong! If you don't know who Jimmy Buffet is, I don't think you're missing much - keep walking past and go to one of the much better restaurants nearby. The food here was shocking - the fries tasted refried and the... more

Came in for lunch and was sat right away. LOOKS- The place had a nice island atmosphere. Nothing flashy like the couple of other Margaritavilles I've been to but I think that was part of the charm being at the original. SERVICE- We came in during lunch time and they were really busy but the server was great. Kept up... more

I have eaten here a few times over the years, most recently being this past week. Obviously, the theme of the menu, and the restaurant, are focused on Jimmy Buffett and his life and music. A number of things on the menu have not changed in at least 15 years (the potato appetizers, the Cheeseburger in Paradise, etc.) On the... more
