Have not eaten here for a couple of years (we travel to Key's once a year) but we tried it again on 4/11 for lunch. Food was really good (Tuna Caesar wrap and Crabwich). Good portions, tasty and our server was attentive without hovering. I will definately go back next year - our initial trip a couple of years ago... more

We tried five or six different restaurants on Key Largo during our stay, and Buzzard's Roost was definitely the best - in terms of both food and service. The menu is large and varied (with good options for non-seafood-eaters, too), and the food is VERY reasonably priced. Our server went out of her way to accommodate our 2-year-old, hand-selecting the... more

From the outside, this restaurant does not look like much, it is a bit off the beaten path. BUT, it is worth seeking out! The food is wonderful, setting is great, and we had great service. They have a wonderful wine list, and great beers on tap, and in bottles. They do not serve liquor. We had a diffcult time... more

Great!!

These were wonderful-not hot,but spicy ,with a sweet after taste. $1 16oz drafts-come on. (Bud,Bud Lite,and Amber Bock). My wife had... more

I keep trying to give Buzzard's Roost another chance. Today, two of us wanted to have a nice lunch, sitting at the bar. Mike, the bartender, is great! He always checks to see if we need anything and continuously refills my beverage glass. I ordered the Brie and my boyfriend had a simple burger, medium. There were only 6 other... more

Stayed in Key Largo for a few days last week and unfortunately didn't find the Buzzards Roost till the last day. Nice setting, friendly staff, quick service and the food was great. Had the hogfish sandwich and seafood chowder, as well as the conch fritters, (different, not what I thought they'd be like used to corn fritters and hushpuppies these... more

We have been going to this place for years and it's always been very good. We love the location and always sit outside by the canal. The fish wrap is excellent! It's definitely out of the way and hard to find so look for the car with the buzzard in the field off US1. more

We recently ate at the Buzzards and had some mixed results. Booked a table outside which turned out to be a screened in enclosure with a bar playing sports on flat screen. There were some tables actually outside by the marina but we were not told there was a difference. Service was spotty, waitress missed an order, starters came out... more
