We hosted a wedding rehearsal dinner here, and it was first-rate - from communication prior to the event to the food and service! BRAVO Uncle Joe and Paris!!! Highly recommended!!

Been coming to Islamorada for over 20 years and restaurants rise and fall. In 2012 I can truly say that Uncles is at the top of its game. The staff are great and almost anything you ask for in customising a dish they will do it for you without it being a problem. This year went there twice and on... More

Stopped in for dinner and set inside for A/C as it was hot. Ordered yellowtail snapper done "LePree style" OMG! I was in heaven! The fish was done to perfection and loved the garlic mashed potatoes too. The inside of the resturant is dedicated to fishing as multiple pics and artifacts hang on the walls from past. Very interesting looking... More

We had Tuna, the pasta special, and stone crab claws. All were fresh and expertly prepared. Don't miss out on this place.

The outdoor space is lovely. It like being in a giant tiki hut. Open with great tropical plants surrounding it. The food was excelent. We had steak and stone crab - delicious.

Tuna wasabi appetizer and whole fried yellowtail snapper. I even took pictures, came back home and showed it to a friend who said that's what he "always gets when he goes there" (400 miles from home!) Can't wait to go back!

I avoid tourist traps at all costs. I found Uncles last year and made sure to stop by again this year. Our dinners (5 of us) were so good that we went back three nights in a row! Fish was amazing and some of the preparations were very unique. Chi Chi was my favorite except for the Tuna! AMAZING!

We went here after we couldn't get into our first choice, Lazy Daze, as they were booked until 9pm. Got in here right away, so maybe that was a sign. It was our first night in the keys, so were looking for something special. My sister and I liked ours okay, but nothing special. My mom received the wrong meal... More
