Does anyone know of good restaurants on or near Marathon Key? All suggestions are welcome -- the in-laws like all kinds of food and they enjoy both upscale places and dives. Thanks!
We mostly just drive through on the way to Key West, Paige, but my recollection of Marathon (and the Keys in general) is that it's mostly tourist fare. The original branch of Islamorada Fish Co. used to be fun, although now that it has become a chain associated with Bass Pro Shops, it might have changed ... the one in Clarksville is pretty weak.
I'm recalling that there was a seafood restaurant with branches in both Key Largo and Marathon called The Crack'd Conch that was good, and one in Marathon called Squid Row that had a lovable name but only so-so food.
