Key Largo Conch House

A platter that still brings salivation! Crab cake, coconut shrimp, cracked conch, ceviche of lobster and conch, conch fritters and mango sauces as well as other tropical dips.

AmericanPressTravelNews-Feb. 12th, Bob & Barb @On The Road Again- The Key Largo Conch House, owned by the Dreaver family was a treat. Just a few meters from the Overseas Highway, yet feeling like a Key West hide-away, this special restaurant is a true mom, pop and family affair. When Emeril Lagasse visited to tape a show that aired in 2015, they were ready as they are for anyone coming to relax and dine either inside or on the Key West style porches. Barb and I found out how great this restaurant is when we enjoyed a very special watermelon salad, a strawberry spinach salad, true conch chowder, WOW! We also tried a platter of seafood goodies, such as fried conch, lobster & conch ceviche, coconut shrimp, and mango crab cakes along with conch fritters too! Their varied menu for breakfast and lunch will serve anyone’s palate and tastes to a “T.” Try their strawberry salad, watermelon salad, coffees like no others and amazing beers and smoothies. Eggs Benedicts and omelettes your way. Getting married, they also cater to your best needs and pocketbooks!

Key Largo Conch House  is located at 100211 Overseas Hwy, Key Largo, FL 33037 305-453-4844. They are open 6 days, from 8 a.m. to 10:00 P.M.  www.keylargoconchhouse.com

Barb loves a meat dish once and awhile too! She found it at Leroy's. This (short ribs) beef was succulent ! She ate as much as she wanted and I kissed off the rest of my naked crab and slayed what was left of her beef cow! Loved it even as it was cooled down! If it tasted great hot or cold its truly great beef!

Filet and crab. The dish was superbly crafted and I complemented the chef as a food critic and writer. The rice and beans accompaniment balanced out what was a perfect entree’.
