Florida Keys Q1 - Best Restaurants in KL & Islamorada

[conchrandy]

Hobo's- after a great day on the reef and your'e too tired to go back to the hotel to shower and dress. Great bar food and more.

They were kicked out of the old place to make room for a mega resort just before the big real estate bust. The big plans never happened pf course and after foreclosures, whatever, the old site at mm 104 is vacant. Kudo's to Hobo's for picking up the pieces and relocating.

We ate at Hobos while staying at Kelly's, they would even deliver lunch to the boat on the days we did morning and afternoon trips. It had great food. We miss Kelly's! We have not tried the new Hobos but we should. This past trip we ate at MEAT in Islamorada. By far the best burgers we have ever had. They also have an outstanding collection of beer on tap. I would highly recommend you try it.

I'm sure if you ask nicely, you can find another op that will leave you on the reef overnight.

We always had a great time at Kelly although I must say if they left me on a reef I might have thought differently. The location was great. We now stay in Tavernier at Island Bay Resort and dive with Conch Republic. It's a big step up in accommodations! We dove last weekend and had a great time.

Thanks everyone for the great suggestion. We are going to list and map out everyone's suggestions and see where we end up each day/night. We can hardly wait.
