The food and the service were top tier! Waiter was a very friendly & attentive gentleman. This seafood here blows anything else out of the water! ( we tried the steak & seafood house last trip and were not a fan at all so very pleased to be impressed by this place!) We look forward to coming back next time ! Thank you!

We came to Burdines Waterfront on a whim, and The food was honestly incredible. Our server Emerson was so kind and attentive. Every recommendation he made was spot-on, and the Key Lime Pie was hands down the best I’ve ever had in the Keys (and I’ve tried quite a few). This place will definitely be a staple for us every time we come back to the Keys. Thank you so much for the great service and even better food!

I am so glad we stopped here for Lunch on our way home. Jr our waiter was amazing and The food was out of this world delicious. The fries are to die for with the yummy dust over them and Not to mention their deep fried key lime pie truly delicious. This truly is a spot in our books to come back too. Thank you JR and all the staff for your hospitality. An amazing end to our Key’s Vacation.

This place was such a good experience. My husband and I so enjoyed our food. I had the mahi sandwich which was phenomenal and so reasonably priced. I couldn’t believe how quickly they brought the food out it was amazing service. We also spotted a manatee while we were eating. This is a great place for the vibes. Would totally return!

The food was excellent. My wife got a shrimp burger and I got a bacon cheeseburger. We sat on the patio that overlooks the water. Great view! And the server, Alan, surprised me by bringing out a piece of key lime pie for my birthday. It was the best key lime pie I’ve ever had in my life. Seriously! Oh, and I almost forgot to tell you about the mice traps. LOL. No joke. They use them so that things don’t fly off the table and into the water because it’s very windy outside. These guys have thought of everything. We will stop in the next time we’re in town.

We chose this restaurant for our daughter’s 16th birthday and we had an amazing experience. We arrived around 6p and were seated immediately and though the seating is outside, it is covered and cool with a breeze off the water! Our party of 5 got four bacon cheeseburgers (delicious and good size) and my youngest got chicken fingers. We had to try their famous French fries and hush puppies which everyone enjoyed. The service was amazing and the owner was truly invested in making sure we had a great experience. They surprised my daughter with a slice of their Key Lime Pie (made in house) and then their fried key lime pie! We are already planning our next visit before we leave town. Thanks Burdines!
