CAME FOR THE KEY LIME PIE! We were told by a local this was THE SPOT to get it & one of the best! Gotta say I think they might be right! Looked just as good as it tasted. We also tried the calamari & kaboom shrimp both were equally satisfying.Our waitress was super friendly & added to our experience. Would recommend & will definitely come back again! Easy parking & cute interior nautical decor.

What a great lunch and dinner spot in Tavernier Key, in the FLORIDA Keys! The Fish Dip is excellent, and the famous blackened fish sandwich is one of the best! Encrusted fish dinner is also great! Nice full bar open from 11 am on and they have outdoor dining aswell. Check out Capt Craig’s when your headed south towards Islamorada!New menu!! Awesome drinks and cool home town bar!

In the Keys for business and came in as suggested by a friend. Parked in the back with plenty of space and entered via the rear entrance. Looks like there is some remodeling going on but nothing that was distracting from enjoying a great lunch. Friendly staff greeted us and attended promptly.Started with the smoked fish dip. Simply yet satisfying as we waiting for our meals. I had their signature sandwich and my coworker had the Mahi dish. We both had the Mahi blacked and it was a great choice. The sandwich definitely disappoint. It was full of flavor and felt like a party in my mouth. The garlic green beans were tasty and very much enjoyed.Plenty of seating inside and a cute area outside for just a few groups.Definitely enjoyed stopping in and would recommend based on my experience! Yum !!!!

We ate at Captain Craig's Twice during our week vacation. The food was so good! We sat on the small but quaint patio between the buildings. It was shady and well blocked from strong winds and provided just a nice cooling breeze. Food and service was so much better than recommendations to some of the more touristy restaurants in the area we ate at. Highly recommend!

So I almost drove away there was no one in the parking lot and once inside no one inside either. I tend to believe if the parking lot is empty there is a reason . The table was sticky, not sure why this was. The menus stuck to the table. The conch came out glistening in oil. Not the best I’ve tasted. The shrimp didn’t have any taste to it(no I don’t have covid) the whole plate was way to greasy. The coke slaw was ok. The sandwich well it’s a sandwich can’t go wrong with that. Would definitely not recommend this stop as there are so many restaurants in the area one has to be good. I will give the tea a 4 stars as it was nice and was not to strong or too light. The waitress was kind and we were greeted quickly.

Was passing through the keys to see my husband in mariners hospital and I stopped and got him the most amazing giant fish sandwich and the waitress and manager were so very kind, I'm sorry I forgot their names bc I was very stressed but may I just say I cannot wait to see them again soon with my husband for a happy lunch!! Amazing Restaurant hands down!!!!

Staying a week at the beach and we normally cook all of our meals, but towards the end of the trip we decided to eat out. The reviews were pretty good, but honestly so much better than we expected. Everyone’s meal was excellent.The pics below are what we all ordered. Everyone was more than satisfied. We arrived pre-dinner time so the place was empty and service was fast. Reina was super helpful with menu suggestions. We really appreciated her service. If you’re popping through for a visit to the Key, def make this a stop! Enjoy!

Great place we had like 20 people in a short notice. Kids and adults got fed nicely. Great service. Fried food though but kids like it. Pricing was reasonable but not cheap.Great to find place of my age.Plus they carry salt scrub from local Key West factories. I got two.

Stopped here for lunch with a small group and it was fantastic food. They are in midst of renovating the restaurant but it's 90% done and looks nice! Casual dining with a quaint feel, we had their Shrimp Po boy and their famous fish sandwich and it did not disappoint. We had the blackened version of the sandwich and everyone at the table was already planning on our next visit!

I feel like I am in the twilight zone reading these reviews. How many of you honestly looked at your check and thought you got your moneys worth?$200 for 4 people, one drink each, one entree each.I would recommend to really look before you come here to eat if getting your dollar value for your meal is your primary concern.The fish may be fresh, it’s lacks flavor. The menu is uninspired, and the “Thai sauce” comes in a bottle. If you’re making me pay for something that is $25 I would expect to at least have a real sauce and not just sugar dumped on my fish.

Going on a road trip down the Florida Keys and, luckily, chose to stop for lunch at Captain Craig’s. The tacky nautical decor and fishing videos playing on the mounted TVs were quite welcome given the surrounding marinas and ocean. To start, we ordered the conch fritters and an Islamorada lemonade. The fritters weren’t anything special and I wish we had ordered one of their more unique appetizers such as the shrimp kaboom. In contrast, the key lime seafood was the best seafood pasta I have ever had. The butter sauce was delightfully spicy and the calamari, mahi, and shrimp were all incredibly fresh. If you are going to this restaurant, please split the key lime seafood with a friend (it’s a big dish), you won’t regret it.

We drove along Highway one to see the Florida Keys before they disappear one day. We stopped for lunch after looking up a few places online. And boy did the place deliver. Authentic atmosphere. Local people filling up the place. The conch fritters were good, but I’d have them in the Bahamas. Islamorada lemonade was fresh and beautiful. Then came the seafood pasta “Keylime seafood“. No, that was a piece of heaven. Fresh mixture of fish, shrimps, and mahi on a wonderful light linguine in beautiful summary tomato sauce. It was the perfect stop on a wonderful road trip with my daughter. If you’re in the area it’s definitely worth a stop.

Omg!!! This place is the best hidden gem in the keys! Saw the sign for the “world famous fish sandwich“ and turned around and came back and got one. My wife and I split it and we upgraded to the lightly blackened broiled grouper and it was out of this world. Had an order of conch fritters for an appetizer and they were delicious. If you like a smooth creamy conch fritter, then these are not for you. These have nice big chunks of tasty conch and are like the old time style of conch fritters in the keys. Love this place and cannot wait to come back. Thanks Jill for great service!The prices are also very reasonable for the high quality food they serve.PS Holy cow!!! The Keylime pie is in a league of its own! If you like Keylime pie, and we are Keylime pie snobs, you will love this!

Great service! So glad we stopped in for lunch. The Mahi (grilled) sandwich was very good with the green beans. My husband has potatoes and they we good also. Drinks were good and the conversation with staff!

This place is amazing. I recommend this restaurant to anyone staying in Isla Morada or even passing by during lunch or dinner time. The reef and beef was huge we had to share it between 2 people. Then the crab chowder was delicious. Even the burger was per my family a gourmet deliciousness. We ended with a key lime pie and it was the best key lime I had and my first one 🤣....The service was attentive and courteous.

Best meal we've had in the keys. From Largo down to West over the last 7 years - this is the best stop for a truly local fish sandwich and key lime pie.Parking: A few spots up front but a ton out back with a restaurant entry from the back - no need to walk around.

Craig's was not crowded when we ate there. The only time we ate there was leaving the keys. I ordered a patty melt, and I would say it was pretty good. It could be a bit more juicy but I guess it was still good. We ordered 3 meals for lunch and a small appetizer, containing only 4 mushrooms, and our bill was almost $70. The waiter expected a $12 tip although we had already spent a good amount of money. They have an ocean close to them, so why would the prices be so expensive? I guess if you really like patty melts and are willing to pay up to $15 for just you, this is the place to go!😉

came here for dinner after a letdown lunch at key largo fisheries.we both ordered the craigs super fish sandwich. it was as expected and hit the spot as usual. consistently yummy!ive been coming to craigs on and off since the late 1990's. the superfish sandwich has never let me down. IMO the best bang for the buck in the upper keys.

We got lucky...traffic was backed up right to the front of this place, so we stopped. Everything was excellent, fresh and delicious. We had the conch fritters, they were perfect! Then the blackened Mahi tacos & shrimp po boy. All just excellent, couldn't be more pleased. Its super nice inside and our server Reyna was so friendly, just love the place. Taking some Key Lime pie to go!

Family visit to the Key West and had to make a stop at the Craig's. The staff was great, very friendly and had dad in had to counter mine! I was surprised!I got the sashimi with a side of butter potatoes and a Stone Crab Chowder bowl. For me that was great combo, and everything was tasty. The tuna was seared just right and the seasoning also. Stonecrab chowder was in its own had a great taste and just complimented the sashimi. The grilled cheese and Chicken finger platter for the wife and kids and they loved. The stop was worth the trip from Spokane WA!Great pricing for what we got and enjoyed all of it.Kid-friendliness: Staff was really engaged with the kids and that is always a must in my book!

All three times we have been there has been just right and worthy of a 5 star review for this hidden gem. The last time I sat down for lunch, decided to go with a burger which is unusual for me. I've been through that overstuffed, squeeze everything you can in between western branded burger buns phase. The price lifted the eyebrow, but I went for it. Captain Craig's burger caught me by surprise and is the best burger I've ever had... hands down....no fancy eggs, avocado, double/triple meat, exotic extra bacon, yada, yada. Along with their version of perfect fries...... this had me wanting to return the next day, but I didnt. Next week though!!!!!

We had an amazing fish sandwich, a very good chicken Caesar salad, and fried zucchini to start. Excellent service, including friendly conversation with the owner (Craig, himself). If you're hungry near the start of your Florida Keys drive, definitely eat here.
