Turtle Kraals: Get a shirt at the Raw Bar, but eat Turtle Kraals

  • I'd have to say that most everyone goes to the Raw Bar to fill up on goodies before a night of hard drinking, I certainly did, until I tried Turtle Kraals. Not that the Raw Bar isn't great; it is. But when all the boats start up their engines, you get gassed out while you're eating! Try Turtle Kraals. Go upstairs; they have a great 2nd floor patio and the seafood is great! The raw selection is delightful and I think it's a good deal cheaper than other places in the area. Happy Hour sunset is a must. Most places are over crowded at sunset, but we had a great view and a table to boot!

    Turtle Kraals has a pleasant staff and it is an interesting place to sit and watch the activity in Key West Bight. There is a bar on the 2nd deck and the Turtle Kraal tower is behind it. We went here for lunch when we were at a mooring in Garrison Bight in January 2001. I remembered it as quite reasonable. However we went back again in 2005, and I thought it was expensive for dinner.

    I don't remember exactly what I had in 2001, but it was probably a sandwich of some kind, because it was lunch.

    For dinner in 2005, I had the special soup (lobster bisque with a muffin but the waiter forgot the muffin) and the special quiche, and Bob had a seafood burrito with beans and rice, which was too much for him to eat. Dinner was $36.52 including tip. We drank water, and I did not have dessert because I thought they were too expensive

    Turtle Kraals: Best Mango Crab Cakes!

  • The restaurant is open air, as is most everything in Keywest! This tip will have to double as a must see because of the turtle races. Yes, the turtle races! Go see, eat and by the tee shirt.... it is time very well spent.

    Everything on the menue is wonderful, however, I have a new found addiction for the Mango Crab Cakes. Best to try a little of everything.

  • Sure, Key West means seafood, but this place has a nice variety of dry-rub BBQ: beef, pork, and chicken. On the seafood side, try the smoked fish dip and the grilled cheese oysters in the shell... Chat with the bartenders & servers, they're a sincere, friendly bunch.

    We ate upstairs with a nice view of the bustling waterfront. Downstairs has dining also and is called Turtle Kraals . They have excellent fresh grilled fish sandwiches.They have a smoker oven and an open flame mesquite grill which explains why the wondeful smells drew us in.
