    Really enjoyed this place. I had the fish tacos which were absolutely delicious. So lightly breaded they were perfect. We didn't order them but I got a picture of the volcano nachos which are huge and look delicious. Drinks good came in a souvenir cup. I had the blueberry moonshine margarita..... Very good! This is a key West must. Lovely little gift shop next door with the typical t-shirts key rings coffee cups and shot glasses.

    As good as always! 4 of us came in for appetizers and drinks. We ordered the Volcano Nachos and Lava Lava Shrimp. Wow! The nachos were huge and so delicious. The toppings were mixed in with the nachos instead of just being on top. The shrimp had an awesome flavor. Drinks, we got a Bahama Mama and 5:00 O’clock somewhere. 👍Not to sweet, not to strong, just right.

    One of our favorite places 😊 We've been dining happily at this Margaritavillle since 2010 - it's a must every time we visit the island. We've always had such a great experience & our Jan 2023 visit was no different. Great service, tasty food & a fun, lively environment, right on Duval. Live music started around 7. We ordered the Nachos and the seafood trio. Everything was perfect. Can't wait to come back!

    Delicious fish tacos! Great drinks! Love this place for a guaranteed good meal! And I love hearing Jimmy Buffet playing his tunes on the TV's inside. Grab a shirt or souvenir on your way out. :)

    Stumbled on this gem during shopping. Fantastic drinks and apps. The bang bang shrimp is fresh and flavorful. The fried pickles were also very crispy and did not have a lot of grease! Overall, the ambiance was something to experience as well.

    There’s no way you could waste away here with all the great food. When we walked in the door we saw the mountain of nachos you get covered with a ton of great toppings. We all ordered cheese burgers in paradise just like the song goes. They make them just like ask. A lot of burger to handle and then the give you French fries or a side salad. Margarita vill is one our routine stops when we’re in paradise! Live music and a fret staff. See you there , bring your own salt!

    I mean, what can I say? The Margarita was great. We sat at the bar for dinner as there were no seats. Iggy, the bartender, was awesome. Between us, we had an appetizer trio, Cheeseburger in Paradise, and seafood pasta. They were all excellent.

    Felt like I had to go to Margaritaville while in Key West, but I was sadly disappointed. The Cheeseburger in Paradise was good, but the service wasn't very good, despite the place not being extremely busy. The atmosphere wasn't even all that great. Most all of the memorabilia was upstairs and they weren't even seating people up there. I wanted so much to love it, but I just didn't.

    Nice place to lay your head, great food, and drinks are cold. In a great place on the island by the ocean. Staff are awesome or at a minimum ready to help. The facility really is nice!

    Great iconic restaurant, live music, and a bar that's always a popular hotspot for tourists! This bar has the "BEST" attentive bartender on the entire island! Impressive! Whether it was good or drinks, he was on it and on to the next patron that sat down and continued to fulfill orders and checkouts! Love the food, drinks, scenery and shopping in the store attached! The live music is fun and enjoyable! The shop has a limited supply for shirt sizes! One of the best bars on the island!

    Came here to pay tribute to Jimmy. I was doing okay until they played Bubbles Up and I was crying in my Cheeseburger in Paradise. Food was good as always, the decor and atmosphere keeps me coming back! Love the gift shop. Cannot wait to come back to the OG and my favorite Margaritaville!

    GROUPIE? If you’re a margaritaville fan you’ll enjoy this place. Huge wide open design. Staff was very nice. Food was good. However the nachos are NEXT LEVEL. Look at the size of them. WOW!!!!! There is an upstairs also. Fun Environment to be around. Next time I’m hoping to catch some music onstage.

    Food, drinks, and atmosphere were excellent and exactly what we needed. Our waitress was fantastic and friendly. Drinks got out fast and delicious, our food was great and the atmosphere was very cool.

    The original Margaritaville is a must-do for ParrotHeads, though even non-ParrotHeads will appreciate the food and atmosphere. The drinks and food are very good, and the food portions are generous. We go specifically for Volcano Nachos, which, in my opinion, are the best gooey nachos I've ever put in my mouth. We visited the day after Jimmy Buffett died, and expected the place to be packed, so we arrived right as they opened. It's a good thing we did, as the place filled up very quickly. Outside, there was a makeshift memorial in Jimmy's honor that included flip-flops, which made me smile.

    Perfect Margarita was Perfect! Crab cakes were good, fish tacos good, pass on the fish and chips (unless Gorton's fish is your thing). Definitely worth it, though, because Jeremy is a fantastic waiter! Attentive but not bugging.

  • 5/5 Corrie D. 7 months ago on Google
    What can I say? It's Margaritaville in Key West! Aside from the nostalgia and the fact that we happened to be there the weekend of Buffets passing, we were very happy with our choice. We all had to get The Cheeseburger in Paradise to honor Jimmy, and it was fantastic. The staff were all wonderful, friendly, and attentive. Food was hot, drinks stayed filled, and the atmosphere was chill. It needs to be added to your stop if you haven't been before.

    We had a great server, who checked on us often! Food was good. Our meal/beverages for four was quite pricey but now we can say we have eaten there. We enjoyed the interior decor and the little video interviews on Buffet.

    First time we’ve visited this place. Food and service were good. I had the fish tacos but did not particularly enjoy it. The tacos had too much lettuce and the fish was over grilled.

  • 5/5 John C. 11 months ago on Google
    Loved this cozy Lil key west gem. Cheeseburger in paradise and the fish n chips were great. The jalapeno tartar sauce was outstanding. The margherita was off the charts. With Jimmy playing in the background we had a truly wonderful lunch. Definitely recommend with flying colors!

    First time here. We were quickly seated any place we wanted. The menu offered a wide variety of appetizers, lunch, dinners and drinks We had Fish Tacos, Salmon Dinner, and a great big Nacho dish plus drinks. Everything was perfect. The waitress was very pleasant and on the spot. I forget her name but I remembered she just had a new born. She has a nice sense of humor.

    It's 5 o'clock somewhere!! It wasn't to busy when we got there, food was very good bartender was quick and very nice I asked her what Jimmy buffett Would order, and she made me a perfect margarita, which was perfect. I ordered a 2nd one just to be sure, and it was exactly as the first.

  • 3/5 Donald B. 2 years ago on Google
    The food was good and our waitress was amazing. The issue was the fact that they were supposed to open at 11, had a line outside and didn't open until almost 12. Nobody came out to tell the people in line that they were going to be opening late. They were apparently having a meeting before opening but again they should've came out to let people know.
