Except for the snow crab claws which my husband said were excellent and a great value at $14.99 for a pound, the rest of the dining experience was awful. I had heard about conch fritters for a long time and looked forward to trying them (though I had to peel the breading off since I can't eat gluten). The conch... more

Dec/5/09 :Was told to get reservations by a local part time resident and dutifully attended at the place while driving back from EYW airport.There were maybe 5/6 people in the place @3:00 p.m. on a Sat afternoon. Should have been a clue . Bored staff told us we indeed should have a reservation for later that night. Attended later that... more

We ate at Mangrove Mama's on our trip to Sugarloaf Key in September 2009. Fortunately they were open on Sunday night. Not all places are after Labor Day. The burger was decent but the special was a seafood medley that was outstanding. The outdoor eating area looked nice but the mosquitoes made it unusable at that time of year. Prices... more

We would recommend this restaurant to anyone traveling in the area. We ate here in Mar 2006 and talk about it quite often. In fact, we are thinking of making a special trip from Ohio just to have dinner here. We are surprised and disappointed to read several bad reviews. This makes us wonder whether to make such a long... more

If you blink, you'll miss this little restaurant on Sugarloaf Key. Just off the side of the road on the Overseas Highway at mile marker 20, this unassuming little restaurant hides two large patios filled with palms and banana trees festooned with small Christmas lights. You really feel that you are in your own little private tropical garden. The Conch... more

Ordered 2 appetizers came out separately about 5 minutes apart. Asked another about their meal, they were not impressed. The square groper and Bon Appetito were both closed still only 3 tables were filled here. Noticed another couple come in and 10 minutes left without being waited on or acknowledged. more

We have eaten here before, and this trip I made sure we stopped and ate on the way to Key West, and then at least every four days after that. Great fried fish, fresh, and prices are cheap compared to Key West. Drinks are good, and the place is a very clean hole in the wall. You can take anyone... more

We just bought a vacation house in Sugarloaf and were in our new home on Fathers Day. Of course we had to take Dad out to dinner. He was excited to try this place. It looks like a real "HOLE IN THE WALL" but to our surprise.....IT WAS AMAZING!!!!!!!!! My hubby and I had the seafood pasta in a white... more

We were seated in an outside area and while the restaurant is right on route one it still felt isolated and tropical due to the screening. The service was attentive but not intrusive. Our waitress inquired every 5 minutes or so if we wanted to place our order. Empty glasses were refilled quickly and in the case of cocktails, we... more
