Hungry Tarpon Restaurant

I was super excited to make this stop on our way to Key West. Robbie's marina is large with lots of shops to walk around. The food we had at this restaurant was average at best. Out sever was super nice and attentive and all of our food came out quickly. We started with the smoked fish dip, which was good, but not something I would order again. I ordered the crispy cod sandwich and it was very crispy, but had absolutely no flavor. I asked for sweet potato fries instead of regular fries and they were soggy and pretty much inedible. My daughter ordered the crispy Korean chicken sliders, which she liked but also said she wouldn't order again.

I got the wings. Order the seafood!

Clear tourist trap. However, watching people feed the fish is hilarious. Also fun to watch the guy try to shoo away the crazy pelicans. Food is surprisingly good for a very clear tourist trap.

Prices are a little bit high (as to be expected). This is a great place to take her when you guys just need to stop at the prerequisite spot where everybody and their mom seems to visit to say they've been to the Keys. Don't worry about the price, just focus on having fun. Oh yeah, the drinks are really strong and that should help.

Came here with family and the place was nice. Had some nice seating in the back right on the water. It was busy but the waiter was attentive and did a good job considering how busy it was. We came here because there were reviews about how good the bloody Mary's were to the point where we stopped here as soon as we arrived I. The area.

The Bloody Mary was around 20 bucks and it barely had any alcohol. Same thing with the other 3 that were ordered...

I ordered a chicken sandwich that wasn't terrible, others in my party had fish tacos, fried conk, Cesar salad and a cheese steak...the food mentioned was all fine.

So I conclusion, service was good, food: good, but $80 bucks on virgin bloody Mary's was very disappointing, so if you come here, stay clear of those BM's and you should be fine.

Really fun stop- just had drinks and a conch fritter. Super fun to walk around and enjoy a drink and browsing the little areas. Trailer trash Bloody Mary - recommend!

Wow! Very chill atmosphere. Would be great to go with friends and drink. 2 outdoor bars. Also children friendly. You can feed the big tarpons with the pelicans flying around out on the docks. Incredible food. Really friendly staff. Popping music always playing. Very fun place. Went here twice with my elderly father for lunch while visiting islamorada. The food was really top notch and fresh.

We kept seeing Robbie's mentioned by many YouTube Key West travel vloggers. Robbie's is located at the northern most point of Islamorada, making it an easy stop while driving down to the lower keys, or leaving The Keys.

We decided Robbie's would be a good spot for lunch, as we left our resort in Historic Key West at 10. I was able to easily make a reservation on Open Table reservation for our family of 5 for noon, only 30mins before arriving (on a Wednesday).

We were seated on the outdoor covered patio, which offered an occasional waterfront breeze and oscillating fans. Tables and chairs are sturdy, basic condiments and extra napkins were available on each table. We could see others feeding the tarpon on the dock from our table. Our server, Christopher, greeted us promptly and was attentive throughout our meal.

I ordered a Tropical Tarpon Punch and a grilled Mahi sandwich (minus the bread to make it gluten free). My husband enjoyed blackened shrimp tacos. My kiddos ordered the kids grilled cheese and kids mac&cheese. My oldest devoured her grilled cheese, served with fries. My younger two gave mixed reviews on their mac&cheese, one really liked but the other said she didn't. Neither finished their hefty portion of mac&cheese.

Visitors can feed the tarpon! $12.50 for a bucket of fish, you must pay to walk out onto the dock.

Such a good place to take the kids! Had a blast feeding tarpon and trying to avoid the pelicans! There's an entrance fee for ALL including small children. Buckets of fish can be purchased for a small fee! We ordered 2 and that was plenty! The pelicans are super aggressive so beware! I had a few scares and I was more afraid of them than they were of me!! It can get crowded and parking is a mess so definitely plan to come early if you want to avoid a rush! Make sure to put on sunscreen because it gets hot and it's all outdoors. There's a bathroom to wash your hands after feeding because you definitely don't want the smell of fish lingering!

This place was pretty solid. I think it's exactly what you're wanting when you show up at the Keys after a long drive. Plenty of parking, plenty of outdoor seating (gets windy at night) and plenty of choices on the menu.

We arrived about an hour before closing and were easily and quickly seated - then moved to the bar area which is a bit more covered bc I didn't bring a jacket and it was SO windy - and our server came over to take orders very quickly.

We tried the coconut shrimp, a mahi salad and the seafood jambalaya as well as a slice of key lime pie. The coconut shrimp were out really quickly and tasted fresh and hot. My salad was large and delicious and the mahi was very good (grilled) with beans, corn, tomatoes, and fresh veggies. It hit the spot. My husband's jambalaya was loaded with seafood and rice and was very good - but too spicy for my taste.

We finished with a slice of Key Lime pie - which was not tart or at all what I expected. Kind'a disappointing. I suppose I thought it would taste better here for some reason but this wasn't even the best I've had in VA.

Huge portion sizes - friendly service - great atmosphere.

The food was decent - it's a solid 3.5-4 stars on average.

Not the best meal I had, but great location, views and staff.

Came here for lunch before our jet ski tour and had great seats outside with a good view to watch people feed the tarpons and see the pelicans attack. Our waitress was very friendly and service was fast.

We ordered the southwestern blackened mahi salad and shrimp tacos. The mahi on my salad was very fresh and delicious. Salad itself was just okay. Did not taste fresh, but it got the job done. My bfs tacos were tasty and flavorful. He loved the beans and rice that came with it.

I recommend eating here if you have a tour scheduled or stopping by during a road trip. Enormous parking lot with lots of fun things to do and see in this area.

The place was a big overrated in regards to the drink. My rum punch slushy did not taste like rum at all. The food was okay. The conch fritters did not seem to have much conch in them. My mahi salad was decent not exciting about it. The rest of the fam did enjoy the shrimp tacos and the chicken wrap. The service was not good at all. Our waitress seemed to not hear us or just be distracted. The fun part was feeding the tarpon and being attacked by the seagulls was vicious.
