This is the second time in a few years going to this place. Although it isn’t all you can eat, they have changed many things. It is not all you can eat crab legs anymore. You only get two steamed or cold. Although the buffet is still decently appetizing. It just seems like it has gone down in quality. Food was filling service was amazing. Your private bust-boy seems to always be on point filling your drinks and making sure your plates were clear from the table. There were only a few things that I would change but overall the view and the service was great. The food was just okay. If you’re looking for an all-you-can-eat seafood buffet this is still one of the best that I have been to still looking for something a little better in the keys in islamorada.

Great service from Edwin, but the food was completely underwhelming. We visited on a Thursday night, and the restaurant only had about twenty people seated. (The dining area could easily seat 200 people.) Perhaps because they were only at ten percent capacity, the buffet was barely filled. The food quality was mediocre – certainly not worth the price of $40 per person. Couldn’t eat the mashed potatoes because they were sweet?!? When the restaurant is full, perhaps on a weekend, they probably have more, higher quality, food available. Based on this experience, however, we would not return.

Server MIKE was really professional! Food was amazing and clean! The Host was truly the Host with the Most when we walked in. A warm and inviting atmosphere and definitely worth the money. A free order of crab legs and a free order of a WHOLE fried fish came with EVERY adult meal. You cannot beat the value!

Been here three times. Great experience all three but first review. First time it was a casual dine in. Really good food. Second time was for a birthday party of about 20 people. Older gentleman that runs the place ( sorry can’t remember name ) was awesome. He made sure everything went smooth which it did. Awesome experience. Third time, this past weekend was for my birthday ( party of 7 ). Great experience. Our waiter Senel was very attentive and courteous. Kept checking in on us often and never let our drinks run dry. Highly recommend this place plus the ocean views are very picture worthy. Worth every cent. Looking forward to a 4th visit : )

It’s been a long time since I’ve been here. The building is newer but I miss the old one. The place is bigger than I remember, food was kind of average to good. They limit the crab which was new (and Crab was kinda small) but it really wasn’t an issue. $40 pp seems to high for what you get but I would still probably go back.

Best buffet in the Keys. I wish all would do it this way. A ticket for snow crab and all you can eat everything else so it is AMAZING without being abused. The service by Senel is truly what keeps us coming back!!!

The staff and food were top-notch! They had fantastic offerings and even a free order of snow crab legs(which are typically an add-on). The amazing waiter even offered us a whole red tilapia fresh from the kitchen (that wasn’t even on the buffet). It was $40 person, but it was worth it.

I was hesitant about trying a buffet because my experience is that the food isn’t good. The opposite is true of this buffet–it is really good for the money. It is around $40.00pp and wow it is a lot of choices of fresh food. Of course, there is a fair share of some overcooked/siting around items but for the most part it is top notch. The seafood choices are amazing…all kinds of oysters, mussels, shrimp, fish, tuna etc. The pasta station is a great add on. I love the crab legs (they give you a ticket for only so many crab legs per visit) and the fresh fruit and salad bar were some of the freshest fruit I’ve had. The dessert station had delicious options like Tres Leches, Flan, Red Velvet cake, chocolate mousse, chocolate covered strawberries and an a soft service and ice cream station. This is one of the best buffets I’ve been to in terms of high quality options. The manager visited all the tables and was really nice. Our waiter, Mr. Nike was very good and on top of drink refills and clearing of the dishes. I would highly recommend this restaurant for an amazing team from hostess to waiter to manager to amazing, high quality seafood choices along with other equally good choices in sides, pastas, steaks/ribs/ and desserts. I will definitely come back on my next Keys trip.

I came here for dinner around 7 pm – do not recommend coming for dinner. There were maybe 4 other parties besides myself and it was towards the end of dinner service (I was the last customer to enter and to leave).
