Key Largo Fisheries Backyard Cafe

My husband and I got a To Go order of a fried mahi sandwich and blackened tacos. We shared each meal and both highly recommend the fish tacos. The toppings are incredible. The service was amazing. I would come back again for sure:

Amazing food. Very very tasty stone crab claws and fried fish.

The mahi mahi and shrimp taco was delicious - tasty and not overcooked. All seats are outdoor with ceiling fans and one can enjoy the nice and relaxing view of boats, birds, fishes, and water. Next to where we order food is a market that sells seafood and some cooked food like refrigerated soup and dips. I bought a pound of cooked stone crab claws for about $20/lbs to try. They will crack for you as well. Bought another pound before flying back to NY. The lady packed it with ice for our drive back to Miami which was very nice of her.

It doesn't get better than this for fresh seafood. Certainly not fancy, but you will be eating WITH the fishermen.....they made up over half of the patrons during my visit! The food is excellent and the staff is friendly. Lots of covered seating to give you a reprieve from the beating sun.

My wife and I enjoyed our dinner here. The casual, outdoor eating makes it a great outdoor eating area without the obligation of changing out of your beach outfit to get a bite to eat. However, I thought that the seafood was more fresh at Mrs. Mac’s and the fries should have been hot. They warm lukewarm when I got my plate of food. All in all, it was a good experience, and I can recommend the lobster BLT.

Food was delicious I'll be back , Very good atmosphere , Have the hogfish basket and Key Lime pie. Sweet potato fries Tea, Live music by A.C. And work on a water color to Give to AC.

The second time visit this restaurant when I come to key largo for scuba diving. The stone crab legs not as good as last time but ok.

Reasonable prices, relaxed outdoor atmosphere as you look out over the docks, this is the ultimate lunch spot in the area.
Outside is their main seating area, the majority of which is covered. My Wife and I sat near the dock on a beautiful day, which was extremely relaxing and spaced well to ensure we felt a sense of privacy.
We partook in their seafood sampler, my Wife had their pina colada (with extra shot) and I brought my own beer, which I assume was ok, or at least they didn't say anything to me. I tasted the pina colada which was smooth and creamy, though could have used an extra two shots by my standards. The seafood platter arrived with lobster, shrimp, and stone crab. Guessing it was about a day old, which isn't bad, especially for the price. Most of the time we just enjoyed the scenery, along with an above par meal, it's hard to ask for a better meal and additional reviewing is unnecessary.
Stop here for lunch if you're in the area. Bring your own beer or enjoy their blended drinks. 'Nuff said.

Pros
+Beautiful setup, good for any weather
+Reasoanble prices, outside of beer
+Seafood fresh within 24-48 hours

Cons
-Not easy to spot
-Alcohol prices high
-Bathrooms same as a camp site

Amazing food at great prices! We had the blackened mahi tacos and coconut shrimp with plantains. Good portion sizes too. Would definitely recommend this place

Beware do not eat here. Today my husband had lunch here and ordered off of their specials board and got the mahi Chipotle wrap. Within 2 hours he was showing signs of food poisoning. Since then he has been unbelievably sick it is now 12:30 AM and he is miserable and cannot stop throwing up among other things. There is clearly a mis handling a food that has caused this. He thought that he was going somewhere that was going to be a great place for us to visit together and sent me pictures of his view at the location. However he is too sick to do anything including work which is why he was there. I will be contacting the Florida department of Agriculture and consumer services to file a food illness complaint on the location.

This is a very unfortunate situation for such a beautiful plece as they are also connected to a fish market for local fishermen. But something is being grossly mishandled here.
