Came here for the daily Happy Hour special and it was so awesome! The deals on food are a can't miss - the steamed shrimp is probably the best I ever had...at that price I had to do a second order! The drink specials are great and the atmosphere on the patio is classic key west. service is good, our server came to check on us and refill our drinks several times. All in we paid just about $60 for a whole ton of food & drinks -- can't beat that!

I am a key west local and there is no where else on the island I’d rather eat and enjoy live entertainment! The food is always fresh and delicious and the staff are the friendliest on the island by far. Heather and Dominique are sweethearts and great servers. Fabi is hands down the best bartender in key west! Love they happy hour and stop by every chance I can.

Quick bite during a walking tour. Our guide recommended we stop here for conch fritters. They were delicious and hot. The sauce served with them had a strong lemon flavor that I loved but was too strong for my husband. The atmosphere is typical Key West seating both inside and on a patio. The fitters were reasonably priced at 14.99 for five.

Had a pasta dish with prawns and lobster, The lobster was tough and the prawns had guts in them. I approached the waiter who went to the chef who apologized and gave me the option of a new dish. Which I agreed to. However, this one did not come until the rest of my family had eaten and we therefore could not eat together. Too expensive for the quality

This was our first time in Key West and came to this restaurant based on the location and the accessible parking, as we have a son with a wheelchair. As soon as we walked in, everyone was friendly and welcoming. But the big plus for us was our waitress RAPHAELA, she went above and beyond. She was so attentive to our needs and gave us suggestions on the menu as well. This was a great find. Would definitely recommend for lovely atmosphere, great service, and great food. Definitely coming back!!!

Been going to Pepe's for years, did not know they had a restaurant across town. Dinner was outstanding, with love music. Got there early (B4 6pm) and enjoyed jumbo steamed Shrimp for $12 per pound. Had a great breakfast the next day. Shrimp and grits to pancakes, can't go wrong. Reasonable prices and casual atmosphere. Give it a try, you won't be disappointed.

We came here for late lunch 3:00 pm and the place was a little busy . The staff was overwhelmed and our table was dirty just like their bathrooms by the way ( check it out before ordering food and you ll understand ) the food was tasteless : Cesar salad with mahi overcooked ( 27 bucks ) crab and tiny shrimps ( 17 bucks ) out from a can and crab cake sandwich ok . Please do not go in this serious tourist trap

Dear Jeantremont: My Wife, Maura, and I own Two Friends. We felt compelled to respond to you with the following: 1) If you were not satisfied with the food (or anything), did you let a Manager know? We are not perfect, but we absolutely cannot fix problems we knnow nothing about. This includes your overdone Mahi and the condition of the rerstrooms. 2) We DO NOT get our shrimp "out of a can". Seafood is either fresh or frozen, depending on the product, and its origin & availabilty. The crab cakes, like many items, are made from scratch. It's unfortunate that you didn't notify our manager of your displeasure. Two Friends IS NOT a "Tourist Trap", unless you consider a 3-years-running TripAdvisor Top 10% Restaurant, which has won (18) Peoples' Choice Awards since 2016 a "Tourist Trap". Nevertheless, Maura & I will look into the restroom cleanliness and Mahi issues you outlined, and thank you for your Review. M & D

When we first walked in, I liked the vibe. There was a musician and it appeared lively. The food was horrible. I ordered a hamburger medium rare and it came like a piece of meat loaf. My husband had jambalaya which looked meh. Key lime pie was pale, tasteless and covered with cool whip. Guy cleaning tables brushed all the dirt on the floor.

Maybe this was a bad day, or there's a new chef, or we ordered the wrong items, or all three, but we had one of the worst lunches in a long time. I sooooo wanted to enjoy nice grilled oysters, something I don't get in the Midwest and something that rivals New Orleans. But that was not to be. After a nearly a 40-minute wait for our waiter to bring out food (while he had time to toady up to a neighboring table), he brought out the most burnt up plate of grilled oysters I ever seen - Thank God we only ordered 6. They were inedible and I had to tell the waiter to remove them from the check (although it was apparent to anyone that these items were overcooked - perhaps tell the chef BEFORE bringing them out to a customer). In fact, shame on the chef for letting this plate go to a customer in the first place! We also ordered a sampler fish plate of oily fried fish, flavorless conch fritters, dry, bland rice pilaf with hard little pellets of veggies, and some baked (I believe) shrimp which was the only item that was good. I'll give 2 Friends Patio the benefit of the doubt since they have so many good reviews so maybe we ordered the wrong things. But it shouldn't matter because any type of food you put out should at least be cooked properly. Our waiter was nice but didn't bother to refill my coffee and wasn't available most of the time. Yes, he was busy, but he sure was very attentive to his other tables. Most likely we'll never return because there are too many other good restaurants in Key West and I don't want to take another chance on this restaurant.

Our bell desk attendant recommended this restaurant for brunch and gave us coupons for free mimosas. Well worth it…service was fast, food was delicious with lots of seafood and non-seafood options (upgrade to the special hashbrowns!) Good coffee too!

Centered in Key West by Mallory Square, Two Friends Patio delivers fresh local seafood at reasonable prices. WE sought the seafood and not the convenient location as the menu promised choices. Parking was tough but on street metered ( free for handicapped) . WE chose the Key West seafood sampler with fresh steamed pink shrimp, fried mahi mahi and conch fritters ($20.95) . The Mahi mahi was outstanding as also the five large shrimp. The conch fritters were a bit too much filling but tender conch. The other entre was the Caribbean Crab cake sandwich ( $16.95 ) with a very large cake with lump blue crab. Sides we chose to share were a small house salad and fries The service was quick and easily refilled our drinks. WE sat at the front edge of the patio enjoying breezes and the live music that started at 12 noon. Tables were far enough separated that we did not fear COVID risk although the restaurant was full . The traditional cocks strutted between tables buzzing off pigeons trying to get into the restaurant. Many people rushed to get bird pictures. The food and atmosphere made for very enjoyable meal.

My wife and I went there on our last night visiting Key West. I'm usually hesitant to eat at a restaurant on the main strip of a resort town, concerned it may be an overpriced tourist trap. We took a flyer on Two Friends Patio Restaurant, and we were pleasantly surprised. The atmosphere was casual, and the service was very efficient. My wife had the shrimp trio, and I had the linguine with little neck clams. We toasted the night with a margherita and a local brew. It's a great night when expectations are exceeded. Give this restaurant a go.

We went to Two Friends on a whim. We didn't know anything about the area, but this restaurant had good curb appeal so we went in. Everyone was warm and friendly and the food was good. The difference for us was our waitress Kristin. We felt like she was our personal waitress because she was so attentive to our needs. She spent extra time helping us with suggestions about what we could to do on our trip. By the time we left, we felt like we were leaving an old friend's house. We definitely will come back!

We go to Two Friends every time we visit Key West. Usually, it's for breakfast. This time we went for lunch. We split the Fish and Chips and it was DELICIOUS!! We also split a piece of Key Lime pie and it was also really delicious! We have always been a fan of this place and now we will put it on our lunch and dinner list too. The service here is always fantastic but I want to give a special shout out to Valentin. He has been our server before, but he really is so nice and very efficient. No matter how busy they are, he always checks on you in a timely manner and has a smile on his face. See ya in May Two Friends!

We visited two friends this morning for breakfast and got David for our waiter. Let me tell you, we couldn't have asked for better! My wife is gluten and dairy intolerant and he was super accommodating to her needs. He offered many different options so she could enjoy the local cusine without missing out on the flavor. Would recommend 10/10, ask for David!
