Mrs. Mac's Kitchen (Big)

We had really good luck at the original Mrs Mac's so we decided to give this one a try. My sandwich was great, a little sloppy with the sauce but definitely fresh. My fries were not hot, warm (not not cold). My dining partners meal was good (coconut shrimp), but his cottage fries were just warm at best. My thoughts are they were definitely understaffed. We would definitely eat there again and the menu has tons of choices. The atmosphere is worth the visit. I love the decor.

Mrs. Mac’s Kitchen was our first stop on the drive into Florida, and it set the tone for the whole trip. Cozy and unpretentious. It felt like walking into a friend’s place where the friend just happens to cook really, really well. The star for me was the first fish I had in the Keys—perfectly fresh, simply prepared, and full of clean ocean flavor. No heavy sauces (so far) to hide behind, just crisp fried fish, bright citrus, and a side that tasted like it was made minutes ago. It’s the kind of plate that reminds you why people rave about Keys' seafood. Service was warm and efficient, and prices were fair—exactly what you want after hours on the road. Mrs. Mac’s Kitchen is now a happy first stop coming in, and a guaranteed place to pull over on the way back. Happy to recommend and will b

This place was really good. Not exceptional, but really good. When I requested gluten free the server worked with me to create a fish dish and lemon butter wine sauce I could have. Outstanding! My dining partner would have preferred to not have tails on the shrimp in his pasta. Although, it tasted delightful. The Conch Republic adult beverage is highly recommended.

We stopped here for lunch and the food was simply not anything special. We ordered the famous fish tacos and the mahi of the day. Both were meh, I don’t see the hype of this place. The only redeeming thing about the meal was the key lime pie. I must say, it was excellent and I don’t even like key lime pie! Server was very kind and friendly, but it was so busy that we waited over 40 minutes for our food. The whole meal was quite expensive considering it wasn’t very tasty (except the pie of course). I wouldn’t return… but if you go, try the pie!

10/10 key lime pie and Mac-wich with mahi. The key lime pie is a MUST have - it’s rather cold, but velvety delicious 🤤 We started with conch fritters and then the Mac-wich had fresh juicy tomato slices and the perfect vinaigrette. The sweet potato fries were worth the up charge (no photos because we dug right in). Don’t leave this place without tasting the key lime pie though…I’m serious. And bring cash if service charges upset you like they upset me.
