Black Point Ocean Grill has an exquisite waterfront view thanks to its locale in the mangrove-lush paradise of Black Point Marina. But that’s only a fraction of its charm. At night, it’s packed with a gray-haired, fishing-theme-T-shirt-clad crowd that likes to get down to a live band playing on the restaurant’s open, wooden, tiki-motif deck. […]

This Italian throwback looks like a roadside stop for the likes of Mom and Pop Walton making their way from the sinful Miami to a kitschy Keys resort. Since 1958, Capri Restaurant has been doling out old school Italian favorites like fettucine alfredo ($14.59), stuffed shells ($10.99), antipasto ($10.99) and meat lover’s pizza ($10.99) and […]
Since it opened in 1987, this “Little House of Texas” has not stopped serving heaping portions of Tex-Mex fare.

In addition to serving up fresh, authentic Mexican eats, Homestead’s El Santo […]
The only thing better than the bean dip – a large bowl of equal parts refried beans and melted Mexican white cheese zinged up with a mild blend of spices with unlimited baskets of tortilla chips – is this authentic, family-owned restaurant’s attitude toward BYOB. Walk in with a six-pack of Corona, and the waitstaff […]
You might wonder if a gator farm is necessary in South Florida, where the scaly critters inhabit people’s backyards, swimming pools and garages.

Everyone knows a turn at karaoke requires more than a little liquid lubrication. Luckily, the Fat Monkey Bar gets you all boozed up with frozen daquiris, beer and champagne galore before you take to the stage for a butchered rendition of “Don’t Stop Believing.” This Homestead outpost is big on the drink specials; ladies even […]
