Eat in, eat on the deck, but eat here while you are in the area. Lunch was outstanding - the shrimp burrito especially. Dinner is very different -- the place turns into a gourmet French restaurant, with Chef Joseph presiding. Just order what he suggests, and sit at the bar so you can watch and learn. He also does a... more

While staying in Islamorada for a week in December we tried The Hungry Tarpon for dinner on our last night. Although Trip Advisor reports were excellent, on first impressions the place does not look promising so we put off our visit. We wished we had gone there on our first night as we would have eaten there at least a... more

This is a small local place that has been there for years but now has a new chef.-Chef Joseph- who combines the island flair with gormet French cuisine! Ask to see him and he will love to tell you how he is making all the specials! He has been a chef all over the world and wants to make your... more

My family goes to the Keys twice a year and we always stop at the Hungry Tarpon. The last time we went, the waitress remembered us and our "usual" orders and we hadn't been there in 6 months! The atmosphere is old-school Keys and the food is very good. The fish is fresh, the beer is cold, and the pie... more

Situated at a marina famous for feeding the tarpon, the "Hungry Tarpon" is a treat. The atmosphere is unique as about 12 tables are crowed into a room full of beer cases, bumper stickers on the wall, and photos of fishing successes. The food is not what you'd expect from such a casual atmosphere and includes selections such as crepes,... more
