Fogarty’s Restaurant & Bar

Not only were the ribs delicious, but Karissa was a fantastic server. Made the entire experience even better!

My newly wed husband and I ate here last night, I ordered the half rack ribs with fries and he ordered the Baja fish tacos. First off, I’m from Texas and know BBQ… Those ribs were amazing, they fell off the bone and the sauce was delicious. Their French fries were the perfect crispy.
As for the tacos, they are full of flavor and crunch! And the black beans? I couldn’t keep my fork off my husbands plate!
I definitely recommend eating here

I had a fogarty salad with mahi mahi and shrimp. The portion size was very large and everything was fresh and delicious. We also got a spinach wrap and that was very flavorful. The atmosphere is casual inside and outside. Aaron, the helpful man at the Hyatt booth out front, hooked us out with a card for a FREE piece of the local delicacy, key lime pie! I heard the pina coladas are great, but we opted to have waters and save the drinking for later though the place had a very good party vibe outside even at 3 pm on a Wednesday in January!
If you’re in Key West stop by, you won’t regret it.

My bf got a fish sandwich and I got a BBQ Burger, they both were huge! The burger was 12 Oz and the fish was bigger than any fish sandwich I’ve seen before. Not only are the sizes humongous, but the taste is delicious! By far my favorite restaurant in Key West, I tried about maybe 10 places while I was there!

Awesome Dolphin sandwich (Mahi Mahi) and french fries. Our server was also the bartender and he seemed very popular. Our Cokes being kept full is always important and he was on it. Comfortable atmosphere in the bar area.

We chose Fogarty’s off a «top ten» list on Google. Excellent recommendation. We had the Mahi, Grouper, Parmesan crusted chicken and Pulled Pork. All thoroughly enjoyed their meals. Service was excellent and very attentive. Manager checked with us to be sure we were enjoying our meal. Great atmosphere. Highly recommend.

Cool place with quite an atmosphere. Eating out on the patio there was great. The entire time we were in Key West there was a line! I found out that the bar attached is known for the incredible selection of slushies… alcohol ones of course!
The food was good. We both ordered pork and it was perfect. The waitress was super friendly and attentive. Wishing we had kept the lil cups. Damn it! Check this place out! You won’t be sorry!

So the guy at the front was a little rude but that didn’t change a thing for me. Food was outstanding.
I got the fish tacos. So refreshing and memorable.
Free spot !

The hostess tonight was extremely rude. We asked a simple question about if she can push some tables together and she rudely said «if I have a table I would tell you I have a table» Then continued to be rude after that. We just left because of her attitude and found another establishment where people are nicer.
I don’t know if the management will even care about this post but it was just so rude to have that first point of contact like this.

Cool outside joint. David was behind the bar and engaged in a nice conversation with us. The conch fritters were pretty batter-​y and the peel and eat shrimp was okay, but had very little flavor. We liked the atmosphere than our food.

My husband & I split the bruschetta & the mahi dinner. Both were really good with decent portions. We sat outside in the shade & enjoyed the fresh air.

We started with the conch fritters, I really didn’t taste the conch, it was mostly dough but they tasted food. Our server was wonderful, polite, helpful, she kept informing is of delays cause of other groups. We went back a couple of days later and the new server was terrible. He charged us for an extra meal that we never ordered, when we asked him to fix it, he said I will have to give you the money from my packet because we aren’t allowed to make mistakes. Wow. They were so busy I couldn’t get a manager. So my husband paid the bill and we left.

Maybe it was a bad day… It was a sunday afternoon in september.
Service was not good, ¹⁄₅; drinks were ok — ³⁄₅. So the average is 2 stars.
We sat on a table and waited for 20 minutes. No one came. Then I stood up, ordered at the bar (which is hard to do), paid for the drink and left. Their piña colada is a… Very sweet pineapple juice. Not for my taste.
The white russian was worse than the piña, but… Well, I could expect that. They say they are drink experts, but we’re in a caribbean island (not officially, I know). So they should have good mojitos and good piña colada, right?

Food was basic. I got tenderloin tip salad, it was drenched in dressing, but otherwise okay. Just heavier than a Salad should be. Best bet is just to get a drink and enjoy the ambience.

Avoid if you don’t want to get terrible food poisoning on your vacation. We ate here last night. Two in our party both had the fish tacos– both woke up the next morning with horrible d — ea. All day and on the last day of our vacation. Really horrible and ruined the last day and night of our expensive trip. Food poisoning points to extreme laziness and carelessness in a restaurant. We reported to health dept.

Huge outdoor seating area at a hot corner on Duval. Beware: two orders of fish tacos is far too much food. They are huge and worth coming back for.

This is the best place we ate at while down in the Keys. Especially on Duvall st, or also known as smoking, leathery tourist community college campus street. Key West is garbage.
I digress. Anywho, the fish tacos were fantastic but my god, they were huge. Truly not following the traditional small tacos as all.

My husband, brother-​in-​law and I did Christmas Eve dinner here last night. Everywhere else we tried was already packed but they seated us outside right away. We were pleasantly surprised. The cocktails were delicious for the price. We shared the Taste of Key West as an appetizer. It was delicious and a perfect size for 3 people. I had the Chopped Salad. Mahi was a little dry but the shrimp and mango were amazing.
My husband gives 5 stars for the Cuban Pork!

Everyone drives from Naples Fl. to Key West in one day right? Well I feel like I was Clark Griswold from the movie Family Vacation when he looked at the Grand Canyon. Yeah here is Key West and let go back to Naples. The big exception is Fogarty’s. I had with without a doubt the best Conch Chowder in my short 65 years on this earth.
The chowder was served Manhattan style with a wonderful tomato base. The bowl was filled with conch which lead to every spoonful having the taste conch.

Great music. They have frozen drinks with some free refills.
Very causal and laid back.
Staff is courteous.

Wir sind in Key West die Duval Street rauf und runter gelaufen und haben dieses Mal nicht bei Unilocal geschaut, sondern uns von der Speisekarte und der Anzahl der Gäste inspirieren lassen.
Die Speisekarte beim Fogerty’s sah super lecker aus und der Garten war bis auf einen Tisch komplett besetzt. So haben wir diesen letzten Tisch genommen ;-)
Das Essen klang nicht nur auf der Karte sehr gut, es sag auch noch sehr gut aus und schmeckte lecker.
Ich hatte PECAN ENCRUSTED MAHI-​MAHI. Der Fisch war auf den Punkt gebraten und die Soße harmonierte perfekt. Den Reis fand ich auch sehr lecker. Und wie zu 99% wohl üblich in amrikanischen Restaurants: Als Gemüse gab es Broccoli.
Der Service war schnell und freundlich und blieb auch ruhig, als die Dame am Nachbartisch ständig was bemängelte. Allerdings bemängelte sie nicht die Qualität des Essens, sondern dass sie sich etwas anderes darunter vorgestellt hatte…(?)
Kulanter wie das Lokal war, durfte sie sich ein neues Gericht bestellen — aber auch das hatte sie sich anders vorgestellt… (?). Nun ja, da gab es zu dem leckeren Essen gleich noch eine kleine Comedy-​Show. Wir haben uns köstlich amüsiert, während ihr Begleiter am liebsten im Boden versunken wäre.
Zwischenzeitlich sind wir nochmals hier gewesen und Essen war gut bis sehr gut. Dieses Mal 7 Personen und quer durch die Karte bestellt.
Alle waren zufrieden oder begeistert.

Direkt an der Ecke Duval St./Caroline St. Kommt man am Fogarty’s während seines Key West Aufenthaltes sicherlich nicht nur einmal vorbei.
Der Außenbereich ist gerade abends schön, wenn die Menschenmassen an einem vorbei strömen. Preis und Leistung stimmen in jedem Fall. Der frische Fisch ist hier immer sehr lecker. Bedienung sehr freundlich.
Ideal direkt um die Ecke vom Mallory Square, kann man hier nach dem Sonnenuntergang vorbei schauen.
