    This place is fantastic! Ordered the Caribbean turkey sandwich and fried plantains. The food was ready in less than ten minutes. The plantains were served piping hot, crisp on the outside, tender on the inside, and perfectly sweetened. The turkey sandwich was perfect too. It had crisp lettuce and juicy, ripe tomatoes. The counter server came out to check that I was happy with my meal.

    The egg, cheese and ham sandwich is amazing! The Cuban bread makes all of the difference. And they love dogs here too.

    Great customer service. Great food. Even tho their menu was very small and the store was very small. But the food was amazing. The fish we got was very fresh and the shrimp wrap was great too. Be sure to get their sauces too.

    What can I say…this is a must when visiting Key West. We love tacos and tried many different establishments while we were there, and I can honestly say Fisherman’s Cafe is the best! Too bad they didn’t have lobster that day, so we ordered the pulled pork and fish tacos which were unbelievable. Pulled pork was seasoned well and not salty (which I find too often) and if getting the fish, get it blackened. The food took a bit of time, but it’s expected since it was made fresh. Plantains we’re made just how I like em - soft and sweet. Portions are sizeable so you definitely get your money’s worth. Can’t recommend this place enough…don’t second guess and just go!

    This was such a great choice!! I had the shrimp tacos and my family tried the fish tacos, turkey sandwhich and shrimp wrap. They were all so so good! The value for the pricing is great and everything was truly delicious. The staff was also super nice 💛 Note: limited seating avilable and is outside seating bit has fans.

    One of my Key West favs! Maybe the best blackened fish sandwich in a town with a lot of great blackened fish sandwiches! Grab one (or one of the other delicious items @ Fisherman's), stroll down Lazy Way, then head down Greene St. to Capt Tony's for a Capt Tony's Amber. Pairing perfection! UPDATE: Temporarily closed, but should be reopening, with a slightly different menu, soon. Please keep the fish sandwich and yucca fries! Please!

    This is the best little hole in the wall in Key West. We were only on island for 4 days and ended up eating here twice because it was so good. The menu is small and simple. All the food is spectacular. Our whole family are huge foodies and we were all thrilled with everything we got from here. They even have options for the non seafood eaters, a club and a burger, (much appreciated) and I can attest that both are delicious. You walk up to the window, place your order, and it is made fresh while you wait. There is extremely limited seating, so you may have to take it to go, but don't let that deter you. It is more than worth it to have go sit somewhere else and eat it.

    Great breakfast poboy was probably enough for 2. The chorizo was not impressive. I would order without chorizo next time.

    The place is absolutely AMAZING!!!! I love food and can't say enough about this place. We ordered the pork tacos that had avocado and homemade coleslaw. OUTSTANDING flavors!! Then we ordered the fish tacos that was just as good!!! It was so delicious, I could cry just talking about it. Ordered plantains and sweet potato fries to go with it. I WANT TO GO BAAAAACK!!!

    Tiny place but has some outdoor seating possibly good for 3 or 4 couples. Little pricey but food was very good and took about 10ins to serve. Staff was friendly and gave good recommendations. You'll be served with take-out utensils and packaging.

    We had lobster tacos, catch of the day tacos (yellow tail snapper), and an island bowl. They were all very good. The breakfast looks good too. I’d like to try the guava sesame toast and coffee next time. **Edit** I came back for breakfast and had the sesame guava toast and a cafe con leche. So good

    If you're seeking a satisfying street food experience, look no further than this hidden gem near the old port in key west. The lobster bites and fish tacos are absolute must-tries. The fry was flawless - crispy, golden, and not the slightest bit greasy. Very recommended!

    If you find yourself down by the historic seaport--this makes both an affordable and quick breakfast. The staff here are unbelievable kind. I watched a tourist barrage staff with questions for five straight minutes and the staff answered with a smile. I would recommend the visit!

    What a great location to have this shack! The food and service was great, a lot better than the high priced restaurants around. The staff really take pride in their food and customers. We grabbed breakfast sandwiches prior to going out in the water and trust me, you get enough for your buck!

  • 5/5 Adam A. 5 months ago on Google
    We came here two days in a row. First for the breakfast sandwich, which was excellent, made on a Cuban roll, paired with cafe con leche and freshly squeezed orange juice. Then the following day we came for the blackened shrimp wrap, made with locally caught shrimp, with bacon and avocado. So tasty with a little heat. Generous amounts of sweet and delicious shrimp too. Don’t let the humble exterior fool you. Inside this little shack they’re executing culinary magic. Friendly quick service made for a extra enjoyable experience. 5 Stars.

    So glad this place reopened! Always a favorite stop for lunch. My wife absolutely loves their fish tacos. Nice little place to grab some great food.
