Lunch with friends. Virtually no wait. Apps: flash fried conch was excellent (10 of 10). Fish spread decent (7.5). Entrees: blackened fish sandwich, a little small and not a lot spice but still very good (9.0). Mixed salad with grilled chicken was again excellent (9.5). Shaved ribeye panini with grilled red onions and bbq sauce (10). Service read our table, knowing we were not a big hurry perfectly. No bad comments!

Food is tasty and portions are plentiful. The restaurant is clean snd nicely decorated. The service was very good and quick. It is a bit pricey, but definitely worth a visit

Leaving Key West and wanted to grab a bite. Pulled into here and it was an unexpected gem! Had the Fish of the Day sandwich and house salad. Food was absolutely delicious! Service was very friendly and attentive. Don't pass this place up!

The food iz amazing and i cant find fault with the sevice ! If you go upstairs to My New Joint you will find the bartenders sre the nicestvand most accomedating ever ! The best!

Wow didn't expect it to be so busy on a Thursday at 5:15 but then we found out why ! We went upstairs to the lounge and hit happy hour , 5 dollar stone crab claws and 20% off all cocktails ... the key west old fashioned with Papa pillar rum instead of bourbon was a hit and my wife's cosmo was perfect , we added 6 claws which had a claw cracker and picking fork added ( nice touch) as well as soft shell crab sliders , yum , we will be back !!

After a four hour drive from Boca towards key west, we were looking for an interesting roadside seafood joint to hit for dinner before getting to key west. Reviews guided us here and it did not disappoint. After about a 30 minute wait, we enjoyed the fried mozzarella appetizer, dinner salads, fish of the day (mahi, grouper) and fish stew. I had the small fish stew portion and it was plenty, so the larger size can feed 2 people - plus the red curry sauce was delicious. It's a good stop on your way to key west.

I've been trying to stop and eat here since 2021, I always missed when they were open! I finally got the chance right before new years to stop as I was heading out of key west. I sat at the bar, the bartender was friendly made some recommendations and of course I got the grouper sandwich, sautéed. He recommend fried as his fav way to have it but sautéed was second best. I was in and out in about 30-45 mins, it was starting to get busy, so I hit it at the right time. It's nicer on the inside then I expected and I'd for sure make a point to stop Again.

I noticed this restaurant while crossing over Cudjoe Key on our way down to Key West - I had no idea when we'd be returning to our campground on Grassy Key or if we've grab a bite to eat before departing Key West, well as luck would have it we decided to wait and give the Square Grouper Bar and Grill a try. Once we arrived I noticed the daily special was "meatloaf" no no no way was I choosing this no matter how delicious it could be - without seeing a menu I had already decided I was eating grouper and probably blackened whether that would be served on a bun or a plate. We walked in and wow it was not what we expected by the look of the exterior, this place is beautiful and somewhat classy inside and I'm not saying there is anything wrong with the outside but the inside will blow you away. We were seated without a wait and greeted by Jenny who is definitely the face of this business today. She is so attentive and explains everything so if you have a question ask, she not only knows the menu she knows the dishes - we both ordered blackened grouper sandwiches with fries and coleslaw with their homemade tartar sauce on the side. I wanted unsweetened ice tea and she informed me their tea is passion tea so I decided on a Dr.Pepper which she served already poured in a glass of ice after asking if that was okay. The food was absolutely delicious the fish was cooked perfectly served on a nice bun with thin crispy onion rings piled on top of the fish - I ate these as a side, they are so good as are the unique fries and the tartar sauce is to die for. The service is beyond outstanding and the prices are reasonable and a great value, I did peek at a few other dishes from the kitchen and they all looked equally delicious, I don't think you can make a bad choice here - after one bite of the grouper I was convinced if it's on the menu or special board you're in for a real treat - including the meatloaf...

They had Wahoo which is one of my favorite fish to order. I wish I had ordered it grilled (well, I did), then I changed it to fried. It was still very good, but a little on the crispy side. My husband had the conch chowder, very spicy, but very delicious. He also had the fish dip, which was very good. Service was quick. We were traveling to Key West and finally got to the restaurant at 2:23pm. The host said we had to order quickly as the kitchen was closing at 2:30 in order to prepare for dinner. The fish tank was a nice addition to the feel of authenticity that is was mainly a seafood restaurant. We enjoyed it very much. The key lime tartar sauce is a nice addition to any fish.

On our way to Key West we stopped for lunch at Square Grouper. Their restaurant in Islamorada was closed on Tuesdays so we visited the Cudjoe key location. The restaurant was busy at the lunch hour yet the place was clean and service was attentive. A specials chalk board showed the fresh daily fish available. Mahi and Tile fish were available on our visit. My brother had fish tacos with grilled Mahi. Two nice sized tacos came with fries or a side salad. He said the tacos were great. I had a salad with blacked Mahi added on top. It was delicious and cooked perfectly. Fresh fish tastes so good! This place serves really fresh seafood. My nephew ordered a chicken sandwich. He never varies from chicken. Even in a great seafood town like here. He said it was so much better than the chicken he had on South Beach. Square Grouper is a wonderful restaurant with really fresh fish. Even the chicken expert thought the place was the best!
