Sunset Grille & Raw Bar

For an unforgettable dining experience, there’s no better place to relish a stunning sunset than at this gem located right next to the iconic Seven Mile Bridge. Picture yourself savoring a freshly caught fish, expertly prepared and bursting with flavor, while lounging by the sparkling pool. As the sun dips below the horizon, painting the sky with vibrant hues of orange and pink, you'll be reminded of the natural beauty that defines Key West. If you’re in search of both breathtaking views and delicious, authentic local cuisine, do yourself a favor and make this spot your destination for an evening to remember.

The view is is great. There is a great view of the water and 7 mile bridge. The Sun sets on the other side of the bridge, but you can see it from the balcony or poolside. The food here is decent. Many seafood options including sushi. The specialty drinks are very expensive so pay attention to what you are ordering even if you don't get the special cups that go with it. The poolside seating was not shaded when we were there. The pool can vary from all adults to all children. If you don't have kids in the pool I would not sit directly next to the pool.

We stopped for a late lunch. I had the Tuna Poke Bowl and he had the Voodoo grouper sandwich with fries. Both were wonderful. This was recommended by our staff at The Hammocks.

There was about a 40-minute wait, but we noticed open seats at the bar and sat there right away. We arrived around 7:30 PM. We looked through the menu and ordered directly from the bartender. We also asked for some water. All the food came out at once. The ribs were absolutely delicious, and the mac and cheese was amazing too — the portions were very generous! The tuna nachos were also pretty good. Unfortunately, the sushi wasn’t our favorite. We tried the Key West Roll and the Rainbow Roll. The rice was quite bland, and the fish on the Rainbow Roll was sliced so thin it was almost transparent. The Key West Roll had a very mayonnaise-heavy sauce, which just wasn’t to our taste, so we ended up pushing it aside. Overall though, it was a very positive experience — beautiful sunset, good vibes, great food (just wouldn’t recommend the sushi). 😊

My wife and I stopped here for lunch, right after they opened on Tuesday, July 22, 2025. We had stopped here for a walk-through tour of this about 18 months previously, but we did not have time to eat that day because were driving down to Key West. When we arrived, we were greeted by a friendly hostess, and there was Jimmy Buffett music playing on the speakers, so it gave us a good first impression vibe. We were the first guests seated and got a nice table along the southeasterly facing balcony with a great view of the Knight's Key Channel and the Seven Mile Bridge. The food we ordered was pretty good (but not gourmet) and our server (Nelson) was very friendly and professional. It looked like this place gets very crowded on the weekends with locals, or during the season, so if you do decide to dine here for lunch, I would recommend arriving as soon as they open to ensure you get a parking space and a good table with a view. They also have a nice bar on the back right side of the building and activities deck just below the restaurant.

Right at the edge of the Seven Mile Bridge, and the fish tacos hit perfectly after a hot day. The pool next to the tables made it feel more like a resort. Service was laid-back but friendly, which matched the vibe. We stuck around for sunset and it was probably the best view we got the whole trip.

Went in September and it was not crowded at all. Beautiful day and around 91 degf. Our server was attentive and polite. I had the Highish sandwich with fries while my wife had the chips and queso with ground beef. She said it was really good, better than she's had before. The hog fish sandwich seemed fresh rich in flavors with aeoli, mushrooms, picked ginger. Very good. Their most popular. Great views. Worth the stop.

Beautiful place… next to the water. Food was not very appetizing, we got thecoconut shrimp which it was good but the sauce that came with it did not taste great- very watery- also we got the oysters with chipotle and lobster butter, our plate came out very hot and dry, very dry… the oysters made us felt sick immediately they were not fresh, the lobster also was dry… we only ate two then ask for our check and left. Service was like food 5/10 but could be more welcoming and recommend more from the restaurant since we ask about an item of full fish that is on a picture in the website and server said the maybe it was a special but that was all…

The food and service was great. Enjoyed a nice lunch and took swim in the pool. Beautiful day. The one hostess I must say was a bit rude. Letting us know about no vaping rudely and then I was purchasing something and scolded me for unfolding a shirt. She needs to adjust her delivery. I personally would not employ her! Other than her a great experience!

We chose to dine at Sunset Grille because of their setting in the water. We enjoyed the shrimp dinner and hogfish sandwich. our appetizer, steamed clams were absolutely lackluster with steamed clams and plastic container of melted butter and saltine crackers. NOTHING special at all! The service was very poor. We were never told to follow anyone to a table and someone came and got us and asked if we were dining at the bar or a table. We were finally seated at a table. Our server, Andrea, came to the table 6 minutes after we were seated. She took our drink order and we waited. We received our drinks and then we requested to order an appetizer, steamed clams. They were very disappointing. They were served with saltine crackers only. We ordered our entrees. I ordered fried shrimp and my husband ordered the hogfish sandwich. The entrees were cooked well. The lady who delivered our food to the table, who was wearing a green shirt, asked if we needed anything else and we asked for water with lemon. She said she would let the waitress know. The waitress finally checked on us and I asked for tartar sauce and my husband asked for lemon. We had to ask twice before we received it. We were very disappointed in our service and paid our bill and left without ordering desserts. First time to visit and last time!

5 stars for the sunset view and the tiki bar ambiance! 1 star for the food and the prices 3 stars for the service Average is 3 stars Come for the sunset, sit at the bar and have a drink, watch the sunset, then go somewhere else for dinner. Brutus is good!

Fairly typical of the places in the Keys I've been to. Overpriced and under imaginative foods, seriously overpriced drinks but a great view of the 7 mile bridge. Ordered cheesesteak eggrolls. Absolutely disgusting. An oversized mozzarella stick with some beef inside. They were huge, oily and un-appetizing. Lunch was the rotisserie chicken grilled cheese. One slice of cheese, lots of chicken which was good, but it was wet and soaked the bread. Asked for fries well done and got none of that. Service was good, chose not to complain because I was with others, after we left they felt the same. You get one star for service, one star for location, you need to up your food game, lost a star for the app, lost a star for the drink prices and lost a star for the meal

Had lunch here. Basic cheese burger with bacon. Not bad and not great. 5/10. Service was fast and friendly.

Came here for dinner after visiting Key West. Was seated right away. Restaurant wasn't very busy and not too loud Waitress was friendly and attentive. Ordered our drinks and food right away. Came out pretty quick. These were the biggest poke bowls I had ever seen!! Needless to say I took over half of it home because it was so big. It was so good though and so fresh!! Highly recommend!!

What a great restaurant! It has everything from indoor seating to bar seating or enjoy the outdoors around the Dock or the Swimming Pool! We chose the bar that had Ashley running the show! Excellent service. She sold us on a dozen of Raw Oysters, a blackened mahi mahi sandwich and a choice maker IPA. We enjoyed our lunch while talking with the locals

We had breakfast here because we were staying nearby. Things sure have changed, the food is nowhere near as good as it used to be. Not that it was mindblowing or anything but it's now truly mediocre. The omelette was a weird texture and the steak was chewy. Still ok though, and you can sit and look at the water. Or in our case, the clouds, the rain, and the construction site next door. But on a nice day, you can sit out by the water and drink the overpriced drinks and watch the sunset.

My wife and I met some friends for breakfast here. Our orders came quickly and we were well attended by our waiter. Breakfast was hot and delicious. Eggs Benedict, Western Omelette and scrambled eggs with crispy bacon. All were excellent. It's Florida Keys and the restaurant is open air with awesome views of the Gulf. Great experience and we'll be back again.

This was a great find for us in Marathon. We watched the sunset at the 7 mile bridge and noticed the restaurant across the street at the entrance to the bridge. It looked like a huge tiki bar with a pool and outdoor seating on the water. We were seated immediately as it was after sunset but still a nice crowd. Our server was pleasant and helpful. We ordered steamed shrimp and oysters. Both came out quickly and were fresh and delicious. The atmosphere was amazing and it really felt like we were on vacation. The prices were fair for this location and quality of the food. There was plenty of parking this time of night. It's a great place to stop and can accommodate large tables if you are there with family and friends.

The rest of my party liked their burger, crab Mac and cheese and paella. My blackened hog fish was not great. The blackened seasoning was red, which is a bad sign. It was all spice and no flavor. And the hog fish, which should be amazing was blah. Couldn't even eat it all. The bread was a lot. Even picking fish off I couldn't eat it all. The view is good but there's construction and a metal fence around the property. It's huge. Of all the places in the keys, although this looks attractive, I wouldn't pick it again.

Ok, so we ordered the special of the day Slow Roasted Prime Roasted Taco which was very good and two drinks (Pina Pineapple & Castaway Coconut). Keep in mind you'll need 10 to get a buzz. Server 1166 was not very good. He took our order never returned after dropping off the drinks. Once I was able to get his attention he informed us that he had forgotten.

Stopped on our way back from key west , per reviews they have one of the best sunset views. Ambiance - it's a typical tiki bar with a beautiful view of the water. however , if you're going for the sunset and don't live in the area (like us) the sunset view was obstructed by the bridge. We went in April and once we saw we were going to miss it, we went across the highway to the 7 mile bridge walk way to watch it (I'd suggest eating at the grille and then going over) Food - Ribs - DELICIOUS Coconut shrimp- decent Garlic wings - if you LOVE Garlic, give them a try, it was to much for us. We swapped them for Buffalo wings and these were good Queso dip with chips - good Service - we sat at the bar facing the view so we didn't get a server, but the bar was nice, when my husband told them we didn't like the wings they didn't hesitate to offer us another option . It was a nice stop, if go again

The food here was impeccable! I had freshly caught mahi mahi grilled and seasoned to absolute perfection. The service was amazing and our waitress was efficient and friendly and just made the experience great. The ambiance was fun and tropical and made me feel like a millionaire. The oceanfront dining was one of a kind. Pricey but worth it? Yes.

The pool is wonderful, Missy the waitress is wonderful. The food is garbage. My shrimp was overcooked and rubber. I couldn't even eat it. I had to send it back to the kitchen is the worst food I've ever had in my life and I never complain. The manager was nonchalant

Sunset Grille hasn't changed in all the years we've eaten there (whether that's good or bad depends on your point of view). For me, they need a change as the food was only ok this time. The worst part was being told that there was a 40-min wait which was more like 80. It got to the point where we wanted to leave and eat somewhere else, but we already had so much time invested in the wait we didn't want to leave. There's a scientific term for that...I need to look it up. :) I'm still confused as to why they have a pool that only had a smattering of kids in it. Maybe it's livelier during the day? Probably.

I definitely wasn't expecting my boyfriend to surprise me with lunch here but he did. The food was spectacular. I have always wanted to try lobster tacos and this place has the best I've ever had. They were a nice size helping (only 2), but that's ok because it came with a side of flavored rice and black beans. So damn yummy. My boyfriend had short spare rib tacos (he didn't really like them). The service was pretty good considering it was in the afternoon on a Saturday. And the ambiance was beautiful because we got an ocean view table. I would definitely recommend this place if anyone ever wants to go to Marathon to dine here. Two thumbs up

There's better waterfront dining options when you're in the Keys. But if you're looking for a sunset view, Sunset Grille won't disappoint! Be prepared for tourist pricing (especially for alcoholic beverages, which are only served in "shareable" sizes) and not much selection in terms of their food menu. I would personally compare the menu to a TGIFriday's or Applebee's. Service was fine, sports are broadcast on large screens, and of course there's indoor & outdoor seating options.

Had a while to wait at the bar to order a drink form my wife and myself. She had a pina colada I have a margarita. We could taste no alcohol and either of the drinks. We are here right now and we are not going to try the food if the drinks are not good. We will try fish Island which we know has good service food and drinks.

Open air bar in Marathon Key. Was a nice breezy evening so pleasant enough to enjoy being outdoors. Went in a Sunday evening. Have a special Funday Sunday menu until 5p besides regular dinner menu. Enjoyed some tasty appetizers, before entrees. Can get some well prepared sea food dishes. Service was attentive and courteous.

Fun place for happy hour, watching the sun set and Jell-O shots ha! Spicy margaritas was very spicy (warning)

Came here for dinner with the kids while vacationing in Marathon. What a great spot! They have an outdoor pool, tiny beach and corn hole games to play while you wait for your food. The prices were reasonable for the area, and the food was good. In particular, the key lime pie was amazing. The poke bowls were also quite good. I didn't love my ahi tuna salad as it had too much peppercorn for my taste, but that's common with seared tuna, so I won't knock them for it, but wouldn't get that again. For appetizers, the edamame and crispy brussel sprouts were good. If you want to use the pool, make sure to request a table by the pool. You aren't allowed to enter the main area with wet clothes.

Such a beautiful view! The service was amazing, the bartender was so kind and provided a fun atmosphere! We ordered the tuna nachos and the cheese steak egg rolls. Both were amazing, we would totally order both again!

Zero stars. Food is gross. Coconut shrimp, lobster tacos, grouper sandwich - no flavor at all. Total tourist trap. Not sure how this place is "famous". Marathon is the Ocala of the sea, avoid the entire town. If you have to stop, eat some McDonalds at Sombero Beach

I was in town for the 7 mile bridge run. We decided to scope Sunset Grille out since it was suggested as a great spot to view it from, for my guest who would just be a spectator. We arrived at happy hour time. (From 3-5) We ordered almost exclusively from their Happy Hour menu with the exception of the conch chowder (exactly the Bahamian/Keys style we were looking for.) Everything that we ordered was solid. In total we had two orders of (chilled) shrimp, 6 in one order, an order of garlic Parmesan wings, and the mahi tacos (2 to an order). Our view of the pool overlooking the ocean was breathtaking as is the sunset. I highly recommend it. I want to come back and try anything from their large and varied menu, (they even have a sushi menu.) And I think next round I'll ask to sit by the ocean.

Great views from the patio, perfect for a sunset dinner. The food was average. The seafood broil lacked flavor and the scallops were a bit overcooked. The coconut shrimp (not pictured) was good. Pros: Family-friendly Games Pool Tiki bar

Should have trusted Yelp on this one. This is an open air tiki bar that plays a mix of Bob Marley and Southern redneck country music. Their focus is on alcohol. If that is your goal you are set. If you want food, it is decent but you can do better elsewhere. Calamari app was appropriate amount of food for the price but underseasoned and their sweet curry sauce was too sweet for me and added nothing to the dish. I had the baked hog snapper and my wife had the blackened grouper. My snapper was fine, nice amount of crab meat on top but the asparagus that came on top was soggy, limp, and tasteless. The grouper was nicely cooked, moist and tender but the spice on the blackened prep was too spicy. It actually took away from the taste of the excellent grouper. She requested asparagus instead of broccoli. They charged 2.50 extra for this "service" and gave her 2 limp, soggy, tasteless spears like I received with my dish. So buyer be aware if you come for the food. Much better options within a short drive. (Cloudy day so we didn't go for the sunset experience, only the meal).

We were seated immediately in a covered outdoor area. On Sunday's they have a DJ by the pool so we could heat the music, but it wasn't too loud. Despite being busy, our waters came pretty quickly. 3 out of 5 were seated so we ordered drinks. You pay for the cup, because my drink was $16 and it was mostly mixers. It was a fun surprise to keep the cup though! Every drink has its own special cup. My burger and fries was good. Nothing too fancy. I did add my friends pickled jalapeños that she got on the side and that added more flavor.

Beautiful sunset but the bartender Maggie is very inattentive and snotty to anyone that approaches for a drink. The Male bartender just stands there chopping down on his sandwich.

Good evening, I was planning on having a lovely evening with my family and then we get paired up with this rude waiter named Heaven, her attitude was very irritated and obnoxious. Wouldn't recommend being waited by her... unless you want a horrible experience.

Definitely put this place down for a sunset. The tip of Marathon!! Nice bar areas, a POOL!!!! They have a great happy hour, we had some apps and drinks and had a really pleasant experience.

A Charming Evening at Sunset Grille: As they say Somewhere on A1A in St. Augustine Beach, Florida, Sunset Grille offers a delightful dining experience with its quaint ambiance and inviting open-air feel.Upon entering the restaurant, we were immediately drawn to its cozy atmosphere, enhanced by the warm glow of the setting sun. Despite our arrival near closing time, the staff graciously welcomed us without any indication of haste, allowing us to unwind and enjoy the moment.Opting for a lighter fare, we decided to share Sunset Grille's renowned 1/2 pound Angus beef cheeseburger, accompanied by a perfect-for-us sized serving of crispy fries. The burger, cooked to perfection, boasted juicy Angus beef nestled between soft buns, while the fries provided a satisfying crunch with every bite.A highlight of the meal was the homemade pickles, which added a burst of freshness and tanginess to each mouthful. Larry particularly savored their crisp texture and flavorful taste, further enhancing our dining experience.Throughout our visit, the attentive service and relaxed ambiance made for an unforgettable evening at Sunset Grille. Although our appetite was modest, the quality of the food and the hospitality of the staff left a lasting impression, making it a destination we will undoubtedly revisit in the future.

Sunset Grille has certainly redeemed itself. Last night's experience was wonderful. For starters the sunset view was a dream. Watching the sun go down into the ocean is magical. As for the food Appetizers were a hit: Chicken wings Coconut shrimp Sushi Main course The best crab Mac and Cheese with bacon EVER! Chicken and Shrimp Fettuccini was light and flavorful Lobster and Shrimp ravioli was great. Service was top notch. Two extremely kind ladies took care of our group. Super sweet and friendly. Dessert Key Like pie was perfection Glad we gave it a second chance

This is a great spot to watch the sunset behind the 7 mile bridge. The drinks are fun and touristy. Castaway Coconut in an actual coconut shell! Tiki Parrot is in, yep, a parrot mug. The painkiller is serviceable and in a pirate mug. The shrimp avocado starter is nice. The shecrab soup is like queso dip. Goes well with the shrimp avocado! Sushi is good. The conch sashimi is something unique to the Caribbean. I went with a greek salad and hogfish. Light and delightful. The 7 mile hogfish sandwich is a little too cheesy and bready. There is a stairway to the old 7 mile bridge walkway so you can stroll after loading up on tiki drinks and filling seafood.

Poor wait staff. slow never check on the table. Ordered hamberger sliders, the wife and I got very sick for the next two days. pretty place but thats it. Go there for the view but don't EAT.

Sunset Grille is always on our list of places to visit while in the keys. The atmosphere is fun and it's a great place for a family with kids. Our kids enjoy a dip in the pool while we wait on our food. The views are beautiful. The dock has some beautiful fish and views to see. The staff are so nice. The service is super fast and we never have to wait long for our food which is impressive for such a busy spot! My husband loves their famous hogfish sandwich. We always enjoy their sushi and we've tried several appetizers. The crab Rangoon, queso, Cajun fries with bacon & cheese, cheese curds..all delicious and freshly prepared! The drinks are all so good...the best painkiller on the island. And a bonus they come with cool souvenir cups!

The food is great but it's a little pricey for the wallet so be ready. The service is good and friendly. The ambiance is so pretty at sunset and at breakfast.

Beautiful view! Was super windy out but they kept the patio open- worth it for the sunset! Food was very good and seemed fresh, would definitely recommend for sunset dinner!

Had a great time here!! Aaron and Isabella were amazing bartenders! Drinks were spot on. Definitely will be coming back!! Cheers!!

Food was delicious! Asked for extra crispy wings, they didn't disappoint. Our server, Nelson, was very friendly and helpful. Food came out quickly. Views were amazing, and it wasn't too hot outside with fans under the deck. We'll be back on our drives to Key West! There is also a pool & beach area available

Best food we had in Marathon! I ordered the Volcano mahi mahi and my husband ordered the New Orleans fish. Omg! Everything was hot and fresh! So good! Great service and best key lime pie! Cool sunset views and we will be back to swim in the pool!!!

Our server was amazing and delightful but the drinks had not much taste and food was below par. Crab mac and cheese for reason was all cooked together in a baking dish resulting in mushy overcooked pasta with little to no crab and hard to chew bacon, the cheese tasted like dollar store cheese. The worst Mac and cheese dish I have ever had. For recommendations I would improve not only the portion size but also the process of cooking to a full stove top pan and not a small baking dish thrown into the oven. The environment was lovely and had great sunsets and a nice pool but food is extremely overpriced for what you get. 1 dozen clams for 20 dollars lol

I came to Sunset Grill in Raw Bar right after walking the 2 mile bridge to Pigeon Cove back-and-forth which is 4 miles. The nice thing is that it is right there at the foot of the bridge. It is very nice and airy with a nice view of the water. Our waitress was very nice. Once she brought us our waters and drinks order, I ended up order a Ahi tuna salad which was huge had a lot of super fresh tuna. Almost a little too much for the plate. I had a hard time stirring and mixing everything, up which I guess is a good problem to have. The food was super fresh. Very relaxed and chill atmosphere. There have quite a few cocktail concoctions I didn't try but sound like a paradise island in your mouth. Next time

Closer to 3.5 low 4 star Food was reasonable... The Conch Fritters were the best we partook in throughout the Keys. The Cocktails whimsical in their Souvenir glasses & potent. The Hogfish Sandwich was tasty the Seafood stuffed ravioli I think they called Agnolotti??? Do not recall the exact name good but naturally VERY FILLING. Sauce was a bit too thick & heavy. Set like a "brick," in YOURE tummy. This is a shareable entree. The Ambiance Was The Best Thing About This Place. On the Wadah with 7 mile bridge up close, a pool and poolside bar & various other games. Family friendly.

Great food and smiling service on the ocean! It is definitely a great place to eat or have a drink while watching the sunset. Watch out for the specialty drinks. Prices weren't posted so quite surprised with the bill. Vessel served in are to take home. Although they are fun and good, they are pricey.

Amazing food! Great place to sit and have a meal right on the water. We came for breakfast one morning-an easy walk from Isla Bella resort where we stayed. Breakfast was really good and affordable. Decided to come back a different day for lunch, and it was even better. The best cheese curds and Coconut shrimp we've probably ever had. Also the burger was a top 10, which says a lot as we are foodies. Highly recommend, it is literally the last place before the seven mile bridge.

Visiting Key West for the week, so first stop is Sunset Grille & Raw Bar. *Vibes and View-10.0 *Sunset Spicy Fries- 9.3 If you've been to an Eagles game, they taste exactly like the crab fries they serve. * Ok the fried hogfish with coleslaw was not good at all, I don't send back my food, but man it was bad. (Not rating). *So I switch to the South Of The Border Burger I'll give it- 6.5 4.9 out of 10

My friends and I decided to stop at sunset grille for cocktails after it being recommended from some of our friends down here we sat at the downstairs tiki bar which I was pleased to find out had a pool beside it with lounge chairs and games. Daniel was our lovely bartender very handsome young man and attentive. His detail and knowledge of mixology was astonishing. We loved the service and ambiance so much we decided to stay for some food and watch the sunset. We ordered from their Sunday funday special The food that was coming from the outdoor food truck was great very tasty along with that we order a couple things off the regular menu which could've been better but overall have no complaints. If you decide to stop by definitely suggest going to the bar and having Daniel as your bartender

At sunset grill now very peaceful and relaxing kids in the pool and there having fun.
