Amazing find, more of a locals bar and not touristy. Food was incredible, great selection of beers, the staff so so friendly, and best of all the location is unbelievable with a great sunset view. Not to forget their key lime pie which was better than any we tried in key west!
The clerk at the local Walgreens recommended Burdines. He wasn't wrong! It was a little tricky to find, but so worth it! You have to go upstairs or take a little elevator. It's all open overlooking the water. The staff was incredible! Very friendly, helpful and fun. Our food was amazing! Mahi Mahi and Shrimp cooked perfectly and the fried Key Lime Pie was outstanding!
Perfect place to unwind after a beach day. Took the kids here and the food did not disappoint. Staff was friendly. Nice view of the mangroves from upper deck of the building.
Don’t skip the fries!! Don’t skip the hushpuppies! And the fried key lime pie lived up to the hype!
The clerk at Walgreens recommended Burdines - said it's a favorite local spot. It's a little hard to find, but so worth it. Burdines is a great spot overlooking the water. You access the deck by stairs or an outside elevator. We were seated in a shaded area (requested) with a great view. Our server was great! We ordered the Mahi and Shrimp platter with hush puppies. Dessert was Fried Key Lime Pie.
We discovered this place by looking up “dog friendly” since we had our lab with us. The food was reasonably priced, especially for the big portions. They do offer beer and wine but not cocktails. They have a dock if you are coming by boat, and had lots of tables for big parties.
We were at Burdines twice while visiting Marathon. Both times were good experiences. The beverages were cold, the burgers fries and fried key lime pie were delicious. The view ain't bad either.
BEST FRIES EVER!!!! I love Burdines, one of my favorite spots in Marathon, especially if I can pop in there by boat. Super affordable food on the water, you can’t ask for more. The fries are a must. The dolphin sandwich is my go to when I’m there, but everything the have is so good. The hush puppies are another hidden gem, covered in cheese with the raspberry sauce, so good.
Very friendly service and as for the food we came here with the fried key lime pie recommended to us.
All I have to say is wow was that delicious. I don't eat dairy unfortunately since it doesn't like me but looking at that pie made it impossible to not break my dairy rule. It looked at tasted amazing and was worth the consequences. I only had a few bites so that I didn't push my luck but my wife loved the rest of it. I would absolutely eat this again as a dairy treat.
Eric was awesome. Get the chips and salsa. The salsa is OK but the chips are homemade and AMAZING. And they have Monk in the Trunk. My only worry is the stairs... Have too many and it's a challenge to leave. Is that by design?
UPDATE: I didn't realize they have an elevator! My fiance had one to many drinks and Eric suggested the elevator. OMG. Life saver! He's the best.
This was our first visit to Burdines. It’s typical Marathon atmosphere. Went went while it was overcast and rainy. It wan’t crowded. We were served quickly and we were not rushed. We had fried shrimp and mahi mahi. The fries we absolutely the best. Just as described, best fries in town. In reality the hush puppies were the quiet winner. VERY GOOD! The shrimp were good. The mahi was a little over cooked. The fried Key Lime Pie was unique and worth a try. Since this is off the beaten path, you won’t find it unless you are looking for it. Definitely worth going back and should be a regular Marathon stop.
We enjoyed our lunch at Burdines. Great view and a perfect spot to have lunch.
I was surprised the burger did not include fries, but none were required with the size of the burger. Good burger as well.
The fried key lime pie, well it was interesting. It wasn’t for me.
Burdine's is on our annual lunch/dinner stop each time we travel to Key West. We enjoy our waterfront dining experience of freshly prepared food under a genuine tiki roof. The beer is always cold, the fries are freshly cooked. The people are always friendly.
Once you make that turn on 15th, do not be phased by the sometimes interesting sights along your sometimes bumpy ride back to the waterfront at Burdine's.
Believe me,
it is worth the ride.
So tasty...
and just the right kind of atmosphere to put you into that tropical state of mind...
We went for lunch, about a dozen folks in line… we were seated in less than 5 minutes. We had the Maui sandwich and Maui Rueben, both were excellent, good portions, tasted very fresh. Took about 10 minutes to get our food. Server VERY friendly. Fries were great, three of us shared one order. I would definitely recommend this place. They serve beer and wine, no hard booze. Great location, good view out the harbor, boat traffic passes by. A manatee swam by. Good keys feel to the place, all seating is outside, most tables are shaded.
Fun hidden gem in Marathon Key! Recommended by a local for lunch! Amazing vibe great service and delicious food! Grab the hush puppies for an app and the fried Key lime Pie for dessert! You won’t be disappointed!
Fantastic little hideaway recommend by the car rental company. The burgers are fabulous and probably the best French Fries we've ever had! Nothing fancy whatsoever but the food and service are worth the visit. Best description is "redneck yacht club".
Great place with nice water views. Be aware that Google maps will send you to the next road over and I guess you are supposed to swim over from there. Use your eyes when you get close. :)
Awesome view, quick service. Good BAR food. We're just spoiled with all the great food in Key West....
