I live here and love going to this place. It’s not just the staff that are uplifting. It’s also the clientele. To me, this is the best place to go to for happy hour. Honestly, everything is wonderful but my favorite during happy hour are the crab cakes and tiramisu.
Best service in key west. Also, strongest drinks! The food was great too. We had a bunch of apps and few main courses, everyone loved their food. But our server was amazing. After getting poor to unacceptable service everywhere in key west, it was really nice to have a proper sever that took care of us.
We spent 4 days in Key West in July and stopped in at The White Tarpon every day! They had a great Happy Hour that started an hour earlier than other bar/restaurants. The conch fritters were the best I have ever had and the Ocean Avocado Salad was yummy! Service was great. Highly recommend!
We were walking around the harbor looking for some food & this place hit the spot. The key lime pie martini was to die for!! All the fish was cooked perfectly and the service was great!
We came back from our fishing trip and had The White Tarpon cook some of the grouper and snapper we caught. They did an awesome job! We also had fries, brussel sprouts and corn. The appetizers were meh. Our waitess was wonderful! The Rum Runner was delicious.
After a Fishmonster Charter trip we stopped in the White Tarpon and had them cook up our catch...Blackened and DeepFried were our choices.....they did an amazing job and the sides were green beans and potatoes...great meal!!
Thanks for putting an exclamation point on our trip!
2023...
Sorry I missed posting after last years trip!!
We had the White Tarpon cook up our catch yet again!
Fishmonster Tacos with Fried and Blackened fresh caught and cleaned Snapper is something everyone should experience!
Great service too!!!
The only reason we went here was because there was a 2 hr wait at Conch Republic. So Happy we did!!! It was by far the best meal we had on the island. We had the seared grouper which melted in your mouth but the Star was the Zucchini, olive artichoke orzo pasta WOW!!! I could’ve eaten an entire bowl of just that. YUM!! My son had the whiskey bbq glazed ribs which was also perfectly cooked. They have great cocktails too. We also have been back for Happy Hour(1/2 off all small plates) which is the best deal for tasting everything on their small plate menu-
BEST Happy Hour by far! We visited several places during our stay in KW and sampled their happy hour fare and non held a candle to the White Tarpon Bar. We first stopped in Monday 1/9 and had the conch fritters, bacon wrapped scallops and the smoked fish dip. Of those, the fish dip left much to be desired. It was meh, especially having had the smoked fish dip at The Fish House in Key Largo. But I digress…
We had conch fritters at 3 other places and non were we good. Our least fave were at Sloppy Joes. Terrible.
Anyway, Zach was our server at the bar and was great. Highly recommend and we will be back!
Good drinks, the fish dip was not the best.
I kept the old review up in case someone wanted to read but please note this location has MOVED, to a nicer area BUT they NO longer serve OYSTERS. They took their famous key lime martini with them. (Little gem on the other side of Alonzo's, cheaper oysters $1 each, fresh raw shucked oysters from 4 to 7 p.m. half-off beer wine and well drinks during happy hour as well. Miscellaneous Cheap Eats as well as peel and eat shrimp for $6 half pound 1 pound $12. Tip your oystershucker and sit at the bar for faster service.)
