What did Southern Living write about the Old Key Lime House?
“The restaurant is open daily and has a regular rotation of live music, with bands and musicians typically starting on Wednesdays and playing through the weekend; expect a fun-loving crowd, good times, cold drinks, and the kind of laidback vibe that makes Florida the irresistibly sunny state that it is. “
Southern Living highlights the waterfront restaurant’s aesthetics, noting it is filled to the “brim with archival images, family photos, art, historic records, memorabilia, and funky decor.”
They also note that it is accessible by water, with boat slips that make it easy to pull in directly from the Intracoastal for lunch or dinner. That is, if you can get in, they share that a table or seat at the bar is almost always in high demand.
What are the most popular dishes on the menu at Old Key Lime House?
Southern Living says the menu leans into staples such as fish sandwiches, coconut shrimp, salads, and plenty of seafood. However, it’s the dessert that steals the show.
“The restaurant’s namesake key lime pie is legendary, striking that perfect balance between tart and creamy, with a heaping layer of fresh whipped cream and a thick cinnamon-infused graham-cracker crust I could eat all on its own.”
