"Went for the conch fritters after seeing this place recommended over and over and over again as a must-experience on the way down from Miami to Key West. We sat at the bar (right on the water!) and had the fritters of course- and a beer each. The fritter was HUGE - and SO GOOD. It was thick and full of conch, tasted savory and almost had a pancake texture with a crispy outside. I really didn’t think I was going to like it before I tried it- and now I can’t wait to go back and have it again. Shoutout to our bartender Mike for being so casual and friendly!! We also loved being on the water next to the mangroves, some other patrons fed the fish!! Can’t wait to go back!"

"Great stop for a casual meal on the water. The staff was super friendly and the food was great. The fried and coconut shrimp and the homemade sides were delicious. Recommended the macaroni salad and the mac & cheese. The smoked fish dip was also amazing."

"What an awesome stop for lunch after a long drive from key west back to Miami. Back road from A1A and off the beaten path. Classic road side bar and cafe in the mangroves. Don’t expect an exquisite dining experience. Expect a country band playing, classic southern Florida service and excellent food for the situation. Highly recommend if you are not in a hurry to from the keys. Or a very short drive from the mainland."

"Great, by the canal, dive bar vibe. Fun place. Overlooking the canal and mangroves. Food is average for the local bars in the area... nothing special with average pricing. Be aware that Jack's is situated just slightly inside a toll zone. Our SunPass got dinged for $10, just to drive in the 50 yards to the restaurant parking lot. Really fun party vibe if you are in a group."

"We had lunch with family. It’s an open air biker bar. Families were there eating too. They had live music playing that started at 2pm, not sure how long it lasted. Food was good. It’s on the water."
