Island Dogs Bar: Reviews & Ratings
The Island Dog, hotdog, is delicious. Also bar pizza and conch fritters are great! For drinks I recommend the Key lime pie martini or cafe con leche martini. Very fun atmosphere -and the bathrooms are very clean/modern!!
Sam our host was an amazing gentleman to the establishment. Zach was an amazing server and gave us great recommendations. Stevie, the owner, was very attentive and helpful for places to go in the town. The buffalo shrimp was also amazing!!!! Would recommend this place again.
Wife and I stopped here for a drink and a quick break from a day of walking and shopping. Very friendly place and the gentleman behind the bar was great. He made us some mojitos and also asked if we wanted to order something to eat. Great Service!
We have been to Key West 2 times and we enjoy the breakfast here multiple times. This year Sam and Doug took great care of us and we were introduced to the Good Morning Dog. A hot dog wrapped in bacon, cheese with a fried egg. It was amazing. So friendly. So accommodating. Any year we visit we will go back for sure!!
My friend and i were checking out the Menu and was encouraged to come in and sit down. We were there for breakfast and Dougy was pleasant and took good care of us. Conversation, food and atmosphere was great. Thanks for luring us in !!
We came here for drinks and appetizers in the early evening around 6 pm on a Saturday. Definitely try their Key Line Pie Martini. Very good. Their Rum Runner is very good too. We were here for 2 hours and sat outside to enjoy the nice weather. We snacked on the Conch Fritters, the Philly Egg Rolls, and the Buffalo (Key West Pink) Shrimp with the buffalo sauce on the side. All three were excellent. Service was great and we listened to a young lady playing the guitar and singing from inside this place. She was very entertaining and had an amazing voice. We’ll definitely be back to try other menu items and enjoy the atmosphere that we experienced.
Had a great dinner at Island Dogs. Amy and Bennett were awesome—super friendly and easygoing. I had the cheeseburger and Ryan had the mahi tacos—both solid picks. Meghan was playing live and she was so good. Chill spot, great service. We’ll be back.
Island Dogs has the best Key Lime Pie Martini. I like that it’s not the creamy version. It has a graham cracker dipped rim. Delicious!
