Review The Conch Shack - Key West

Lauren Armstrong
I loved trying conch fritters for the first time ever at The Conch Shack in Key West. The staff were so friendly and I visited again the next day. The seating is cozy, right off of Duval St and you can just watch the night life while enjoying a quick meal. It isn’t pictured, but there are plenty of seats.

Excellent conch fritters served out of a food truck in a convenient location. Right outside hogs breath. Fritters were freshly cooked with a key lime sauce or spicy remoulade. Both were good! Like going to the islands in key west.

The Conch Shack is one of the best places in Key West. Try the Lobster Roll you will lick your finger. The mahi-mahi fish bites are tasty. The places are packed but the seating is very limited. The drinks are cheap. The atmosphere is perfect. This place got everything going right its way and the reviews show it.

Small little spot. Fritters were hot, but didn't wow me. Maybe conch just isn't my thing. People were nice and food was fresh so still give it 5 stars especially if you like conch.

Had the conch trio - felt like the fritters were a bit too much batter and not a lot of conch, but nevertheless good. The lime sauce was great. The ceviche was okay but it was so tiny as part of the trio, literally contained in a small sauce jar. Our favorite was definitely the fried conch, like fried calamari but with conch. I lived in RI for many years and this place reminds me of clam shacks in Newport, albeit this is definitely more expensive. Extremely hard to park around there, as is the situation in most of Key West.

One of the best hole-in-the-wall take-out joints in Key West. Simple, but awesome menu of cracked conch, conch fritters, Mahi bites, and hand-cut fries. Grab a sack of awesomeness from the Conch Shack and head down Duval to Capt Tony's (to get out of the heat) for an awesome KW lunch or dinner!

Back again after a couple of years. The lobster roll did not disappoint! Best lobster roll I've had ! The conch fritters were delish, and that Pina Colada Smoothie was so refreshing.

Every single time we are in Key West we HAVE TO stop at The Conch Shack!! They have the best hot dogs and conch fritters ever! 10/10 recommend!!!

4.7/5 Stars We ordered the conch fritters and they were amazing. I'm not usually a big fan of them but these were actually really good. If you are around and like fritters I would absolutely recommend you stop by and give them a try.

We only ordered the conch fritters and we really enjoyed them. They made them after we ordered so we had to wait a bit. They came out hot and crunchy with a key lime aioli and a spicier sauce. I liked the spicy sauce. We took photos of all the chickens while we waited. Note - cash only.

The hot dog is delicious! You definitely want to have a try! Next time I will try Danger hotdog lol 🤣 Seafood Sample Platter has 4 fried shrimps and 1 fried fish fillet, 3 balls (including squid? potato?) and lots of fried fries, well fried fries cannot be bad right 😝

We had multiple lobster rolls during our visit from places people recommended to use, and that were more popular, but the conch shack was our favorite. We ate there multiple times during our trip. The fried shrimp were also great. Perfect for a quick meal.

Seeing the lobster roll on tick tock had to come to Duval Street in Key West to try it .....it is absolutely amazing. If you're in Key West you have to go to Duval Street you have to go to The conch shack you have to get a lobster roll they are $22 but oh my goodness are you going to love it and it's well worth $25 it's only 23 something after tax but hey still amazing.

My girlfriend and I were really craving conch fritters and weren't disappointed coming here. We ordered the conch trio and an additional order of conch fritters which was plenty of food for us. The food was phenomenal. The sauces really make the meal. Be sure to try key lime sauce.

The seafood was so fresh. It is made to order so it takes a few minutes to get your food but it is well worth the wait. This is the sample platter with fish, shrimp, conch fritters and fries. Be careful of the roosters roaming the town. They will come and beg for some seafood. It's that good!
Howie Groves
I only had the cheeseburger. It was about $7 and not bad. This spot is cash only. Nice service. I look forward to trying something else here.

I never miss this place when I am in Key West.  Conch fritters and ice cold Yuengling.  If you are spending the day on Duvall this is the place to stop for the right flavor.
Lorraine Moore
BEST lobster roll ever..  What a treasure,  best kept secret in Key West.  We come here every year.  It is a must for real flavor of the keys. Love everything.
Jennifer Badry
Delicious every time!  Friendly charming service.  FRESH, never 'heavy' very 'clean' for fired...and the dipping sauces YUM!  love this little gem tucked away near Hog's Breath

Conch fritters are the best I've ever had! This place is rated #4 out of 150 in key west, and I now know why! Its right in the middle of key west and kind of hidden. So very yummy! Must try!

I'm no Conch expert, but my friend is a bit of a fan of the Conch fritter and suggested we grab some on our walk down Duval street. Little fried balls with a hint of spice and some really good dipping sauces - they reminded me a little bit of hushpuppies. Since it's my first time it's hard to say how god they were, but my friend thought they were actually quite good. I got some cracked conch which was really good and really showcased the conch.

My husband and I stopped in here for a quick bite to eat in between jet skiing and parasailing. We were able to sit outside and enjoy a really good burger. The food was very fresh. The pictures don't do it justice!! We sat for a bit and spoke with the lady who was running it. She was very nice and gave us good info on the island. It's a great place to pop in and sit a bit! Plus the chickens running around were fun

Very good fried take out food. The conch fritters with the mustard sauce were excellent, hot and fresh. It's great eating for deep-fat fried choices. Prices are fair but the place only has 8 seats outdoors. Nice for a quick bite.

Yay! Key West Pride 2015! For about the best value on Key West, I feel The Conch Shack deserves your patronage. Prices are extremely reasonable. Well, I mean reasonable for Key West.<br/><br/>I jumped in with the Danger Dog, which is a huge hot dog wrapped in bacon, and then fried. It was excellent, but not for the feint of heart. Get the island fries to accompany it. The beers here are cheap, so feel free to indulge.<br/><br/>I sampled a Main lobster roll, and it was quite good. One of my friends ordered the veggie burger, which he said was decent.

Ordered a cheese burger and conch fritters! The cheese burger was really good...on the small side...perfect for late night eating! The conch fritters were freakin' amazing! They had two sauces...a spicy zesty mayo and a lime mayo type sauce! Both were excellent...didn't know which one I liked best! Super good!
Kirstan Turner Fredrick
Fantastic meal & service. Cracked conch & hand cut fries. Delicious! Be advised CASH ONLY!!

Really enjoy their conch fritters, and their aioli sauce is delicious too. Like a hush puppy meets a conch fritter, perfect way to soak up all that drinking you have been doing on duval. They are cash only here, but so worth a visit! Just go ahead and get a dozen because 6 won't be enough after you start eating them lol.

A must stop. After reading the reviews on this place we had to stop. Went with the most talked about Maine lobster sandwich and conch fritters. Not only were the employees super nice and funny the food was out of this world. It was so good we stopped again before we left.This is a good spot if you are in your suit or just want to hang outside on Duval no need to get fancy here. It should seriously be a crime to not stop here if you are in key west!

Great little dive! The conch fritters are very good. The lime sauce provides a nice balance. The conch seviche good -- not as acidic as I prefer -- but fresh and good.

Conch Fritters and more.. We popped into this Duval Street outdoor eatery for a taste of the conch fritters. They were hot and delicious, crunchy with plenty of conch. Nice dipping accoutrements of a spicy red sauce and tangy key lime sauce as well. There were other items that sounded very enticing but we just paused for a bite and a beer, so glad we did! Service is friendly and fast. Great spot to stop and rest and people watch. Recommended!
Grace Veniero
Excellent lobster roll and conch fritters
Lisa Moyles
Delish!
Robin Burr
The lobster roll is FULL of lobster meat and very good and only $13. The Cracked Conch is "light" and delicious. Great sauces and everything is made to order fresh. It is cash only so be prepared. Not a lot of seats but there is a flow, so by the time our food was ready there was a place to sit down and enjoy it. Definitely worth it!

Sit on a chair at the bench table with the Roosters and Pidgeons and ENJOY a great Hot Dog, Lobster Roll, Conch fritters, and a beer......Ahhhh this is heaven!
Thombert
Lobster roll and conch fritters were delicious. Show up before 330pm or they run out of lobster
Emily C
Had the lobster roll for $13. It was good, but they put a lot of butter on the bun and drizzled on the lobster. All that butter felt like it was trying to make up for something, but it was really good just the way it was without so much butter.
Orlandocoolace
Can't go wrong here... Sure its fried, but you are on vacation and the food is great.

Always Reliable, Friendly. Great service, easy to order and a burger that easily trumps the new CHAIN joint that opened recently on Truman/Duval. Their lobster roll is also delicious.<br/><br/>This is the kind of spot that I support wholeheartedly in KW: It's not a franchise that's invading the strip and sucking the creativity from the island. SUPPORT LOCAL, I say. Conch Shack rocks.

Great little place to eat after strolling through Duval street. Service and food is great! To top off the conch fritters, another must have is the frozen key lime pie dipped in chocolate. To get a genuine key west feel, visit The Conch Shack!

Not expensive and very good! The seafood sample platter is extremely good. Great service. I'm definitely coming back

Cheeseburger I was in the Key West for my boy Justin's bachelor party and though we pretty much were on a straight liquid diet I still managed to get a burger in. The day pretty much went like this: wake up, get drunk. That's it. So after hitting up Fat Tuesdays for some 190 Octane's, we managed to stumble around Duval Street until we landed on a couple bar stools which stood outside of this tiny place called The Conch Shack . I looked up and saw "Cheeseburger" on the menu and said F-it! Let's do it!!! The groom! Burger - Cheeseburger $6.00 - 1/4lb w/ lettuce, tomato, pickle, onion I believe the bun was an ordinary Publix white bun; toasted on the griddle, soft and expected for street food. The vegetables seemed fairly fresh. The burger itself was griddled, giving it a nice crust, the beef was nothing to boast about, and honestly I can not remember anything about the seasoning. What I can remember was the spicy Pink Sauce. I asked them if the had any house sauce for it and the cook sai

When in Key West, the Conch Shack, right on Duval Street is my pick. The fritters were crispy and had a nice amount of heat.

What visit to the Florida Keys would be complete without eating some conch? On a recent visit to Key West, I stopped into The Conch Shack on Duval Street for some conch fritters. I ordered the three piece conch fritters after seeing they had "The Best Eve
