Delightful spot with excellent service. We enjoyed the Wahoo. Mine was lightly blacken and my partner's was panko-crusted. Both plates were prepared quickly and piping hot!! The fish, zucchini and mashed potatoes were fllavorful. However, I did not care for their Key lime pie. The crust tasted like it had a spice in it that detracted from the experience. The accompanying guitarist was excellent and chatted with the customers. We will definitely return.

Newer ownership is providing outstanding "bar" food. The pizza is outstanding with a crispy crust, great sauce! Definitely the best pizza around. The appetizer surf and turf is exceptional. Great flavors decent price, great bartenders and servers. This place has been up and down in the past but it's definitely delicious!

We are staying at the Sugarloaf RV KOA resort and it's literally across the street! We sat at the bar and the service was excellent! Definitely not a place you wanna miss if in the area!

Food was good and atmosphere was enjoyable. What made the evening was the music. But the service was very disappointing. Took our order and never saw her again.

Fantastic food and Patio. White grape gazpacho soup was great and something I haven't seen at other places. Steak nachos are loaded with meat.

Fantastic surprise. We walked over from the KOA expecting to find bar food. Wow. Homemade at great prices and large portions. Risotto was delicious. Quesadillas were expertly seasoned. Very friendly staff especially Dyan (pronounced "Dianne")

Great fresh food and great service. Laid back atmosphere with spacious indoor and outdoor seating. I would highly recommend stopping and trying if you're passing through sugarloaf key. They also have happy hour drinks 3-6 m-f.

Cozy little spot gives the perfect keys vibe. We were greeted and seated immediately, our server was also the bartender inside and was kind and attentive. Firecracker Shrimp special was amazing. Catch of the Day was Golden Tile and was great. French fries are hot and crispy. We didn't get anything to drink but their Happy Hour specials are a deal.
