The White Tarpon Bar & Restaurant - Key West (FL)

4 /5 Jose Angel Perez: White Tarpon has good food, but the experience was a bit underwhelming. The dishes themselves were tasty and well-prepared, but the service was surprisingly slow, especially considering the place was relatively empty when we visited. It took longer than expected to get drinks and meals, which made the visit feel drawn out. With better service and attention to guests, this spot could easily be a stronger recommendation.

5 /5 Shannon E: Excellent all around. They had excellent service! There was a 50% off all alcoholic drinks when we arrived during happy hour, plus the normal happy hour appetizer prices (from 3-5:30pm). We tried the bacon wrapped scallops (yum!), conch fritters (they were ok), and the chicken wings. The key lime martini was excellent. They pour heavy on the liquor - we had to sweeten the rum runner (almost too strong). Love all the tropical inspired drinks. The dish sandwich was good. The fish & chips were delicious! And the fried cheeks were ok. My main con is something that seems to be common for most restaurants in this area - no a/c. They leave the windows open but it gets hot.

5 /5 Rob: I had an absolutely amazing time during happy hour at this place! I ordered the mussels and a few beers, and both were spot-on. The mussels were fresh, flavorful, and cooked to perfection—easily some of the best I’ve had in a long time. The miller lites were icy cold. But what really made the experience stand out was the service. My server, LAURA! She was incredible—friendly, attentive, and just all-around awesome. She made sure everything was perfect and added a personal touch that took the whole experience to another level. Really enjoyed our conversations. Between the delicious food, great drinks, and outstanding service, I’ll definitely be back. Highly recommend stopping in for happy hour—you won’t regret it!

5 /5 Lisa Brown: Had a great time with Becca on our trip to Key West! She kept us coming back for the fun and amazing cocktails! The key lime martini was the best we’ve had and the conch fritters were amazing! Our favorite hang out spot on the boardwalk! It’s a must go to when you are in town!

5 /5 Jillian Matlock: This little place is a gem and I’m sure it gets overlooked due to the Conch Republic as it’s neighbor, but if you want quaint and perfect size bar and eatery go here! No joke about the best Key Lime Martinis. I listen to The Local Side of Key West and this was a pick for them! Shout out to Kelly and Keith for the great tip! Laura was our bartender and she took great care of us and we will be back I’m sure of that!
