We had lunch at the Island Dogs Bar while visiting Key West. The oysters were excellent! I also enjoyed The Island Dog - a huge hot dog wrapped in bacon and topped with mango, pineapple, banana peppers, red onion and chili sauce. I've had my share of Chicago dogs, and this was easily as good if not better!! The food... More

OMG, I had the time of my life here! It was a Monday and we were not expecting to have such a great time on a weekday, but our bartender Renee was so awesome and she made sure we had a blast! She joked with us and made us the best rum runner we had in the Keys! We came... More

Not busy at all when we had lunch even with a cruise on port. The servers were kinda flat and the menu kinda short. All the food ordered however was tasty and well prepared. The place was cool and nice to sit in to get away from the mid day sun. They have outside sitting as well. Bathroom was very... More

Nice setup in this little bar. Big oval bar with lots of choices of food and beverages. Good happy hour and food was really good. Fish tacos hit the spot and lobster was tasty. Service is good here and the people are friendly.

EXCELLENT oysters on the half shell! They were big, salty, clean, and cut! Having grown up shucking oysters, these are all things I look for and Island Dog delivered! However, we also had the lobster roll and the fish tacos. The lobster roll was non descript. I swear I didn't taste any seasoning at all. My husband's fish tacos were... More

This bar has a very relaxed atmosphere. The menu is pretty light but good bar food. The service is good. Lots of tv's or you can sit outside and people watch.

By far the best find while in Key West this past week........Having just lost my dog, this bar made me feel my pet was with me. The staff was great, friendly and always ready to refill without even asking. The female bartenders had the best personalities and interacted with the crowd as if they were on a comedy show. The...

Stopped here for a light dinner on our first night in Key West. Sat outside, which was very nice. The Key Lime martini was really good - no skimping on the alcohol! I would come back again for the Key West personal pizza, which was excellent. Last time we were here we had their hot dogs, which were also very... More
