Key Largo - Food and Other Non Diving Recommendations

[Tyler. Henry]

Headed to Key Largo now for a few days. Anyone have recommendations for food, restaurants or anything else to see or do during surface intervals? We will be diving with Rainbow Reef. Thanks.

On the Gulf side right across Highway 1 is Snooks Bayside. Sipping a cocktail on the deck at a high-topper on the rail is a great way to watch a sunset, and, back when we were there, the food wasn't too bad either...

I assume you have a car, right? Depends on what kind of food you are looking for. Places below are full service places we frequent, nothing fancy though.

Buzzard's Roost
Pilot House
Blackwater Siren
Snook's Bayside
Snapper's
Sundowner's

Hobos, Catch and Fish House are my go to as well, every single time I’m in KL.

We eat at Keys Bite quite often. It's near Mrs Macs and we're never disappointed.

I try to be positive on here, but I’ve been to KL four times and I’ve never eaten in a place that really stood out. All were okay, but nothing memorable. I’ll keep trying.
Note: I’m talking seafood.
The diving museum is worth a visit, but maybe that’s in Islamorada. The African Queen boat from the movie is in the channel next to the Holiday Inn. Breakfast at Waffle House!

Whale Harbor AUCE is near the history of diving museum.
Excellent seafood

Sharkeys - Same building as Rainbow Reef...

Sharkey's and the Galley have a lot of very good food, but the Baja fish tacos are to die for. Quite the beer list too
