“ We needed somewhere for lunch and hadn't researched any Key West options ahead of time. Despite the touristy look and location, we took a chance and were pleasantly surprised. The food was pretty good. The dolphin fingers were a favorite. The service was pretty good - friendly and efficient but not very personal at all. Prices were as expected. Portion sizes were good. It was a fun atmosphere being on the busy road. Bathrooms were clean. ”

I'm looking forward to go back for some good food ”
“ The next time you visit Key West you must stop at Caroline's Cafe for lunch, I promise you will not be disappointed. We had a group of 8 peeps and they seated us right away. The server immediately brought us water, which is the most important thing a server can do for customers, especially walking around in the summer sun. The seating was outdoors under a huge canopy and thankfully there were huge fans blowing a cool breeze just inches from our table. We were visited several times by the locals - a few roosters and some chickens, pecking their way through the restaurant. The drinks and the eats: We were in a drinking mood, so our table ordered Key Lime Mojitos - filled with Key Lime Rum, Fresh Mint, Lime, and Soda. Perfect to get our palets ready for yummy food. My family started off with chicken wings, which hit the spot! They were crunchy and covered in the most delicious buffalo wing sauce. A few of us ordered the Boston Lettuce Wraps with grilled chicken, carrots, coconut curry noodles, bean sprouts, and cucumber salad with peanut and spicy red chile sauces. I am a vegetarian and I ordered mine without meat, and it was so satisfying and delicious. The rest of the family ordered Shrimp Po’ Boys, which came with a fried shrimp, lettuce, tomato, and remoulade served on a toasted roll. Everyone at my table was very happy with their food and would def visit again the next time we visit Key West. Caroline's Cafe is located at 310 Duval Street in Key West Florida. ”
“ The food was delicious. We all ordered the shrimp po boys. The shrimp was cooked perfectly. We ordered dolphin fingers for appetizers but was given conch. This disgusted us because we did not know it and did not want it, which is why I'm giving a 4 star rating. They did comp for the mistake, though, which I appreciate. My husband also ordered the eggrolls and he enjoyed them. Service was great other than that. There was an unpleasant smell in certain areas of the restaurant, but after moving tables, it wasn't as bad. It didn't disappear, but at least it was milder. The heat can be overbearing, but they have fans with mist that help tremendously- the place is all patio dining. Many birds and chickens loiter around as you eat and they aren't ashamed to fight for scraps under tables. ”
