“ Nice ambience with live music. Service was quick and friendly. Food came out fast too. Started with Lobster Bisque and Conch Soup. My whole Fish was great! Hogfish stuffed with Crab Meat with Cream Sauce was nice. Yellow rice and Beans taste good. A must stop for perfectly cooked fresh Fish in the island! ”
“ So on a recommendation we went in search of Hogfish Bar & Grill. It took a Google Maps search to find it, but we did. It was worth the search. We began with their Lobster Bisque. It was the best we have had... maybe ever. Full of lobster pieces and chunks, a mild favor of dry sherry, and not over powered by tomato paste. It was absolutely delightful. We, my lovely wife and I highly recommend it. And the bowl is enough for a couple to share as an appetizer or to feed a hungry sailor. Next, my wife chose the shrimp and chips basket. It came with only 6 shrimp, but they were not just large, but really big. A light crispy fried coating. The shrimp were plump and juicy. Perfectly cooked with a basket of fries, a cup of slaw and cocktail sauce. The shrimp were fresh and delicious. And the six were enough for a meal. The fries were crispy and the slaw were good. But the shrimp was amazingly delicious. I chose the special; the whole Florida Lobster stuffed with Lump Crab Meat. It was served with rice, a cream sauce for the rice, and the chef's steamed vegetables. This was beyond delicious. It was probably a 1 or 2 lb spiny lobster, cooked perfectly and stuffed with lump crab meat with out peppers, onions, unnecessary breadcrumbs, but hust lots of crab with some butter and a little Panco and nothing else. It was unforgettable. Served with melted butter which it really didn't need. The lobster was sweet and naturally buttery. Cooked perfectly. The rice with cream sauce was a perfect compliment with the steam veggies. We chose to eat by the water on the deck, which only added to the ambiance. This place, this food is worth the search. We have eaten in many of the Keys eateries, but Hogfish is the best. ”
“ Absolutely cool shack serving great tasting food of all sorts, but with a focus on fresh fish. Had snapper with blackened shrimp, lobster, saffron flavoured cream sauce with rice, green beans and carrots. The fish was beautifully cooked. Daughter had fried calamari - fresh, delicious. Other daughter had the Vandenburger- also delicious. Key lime pie was not as good as my own. And I say that as a Brit! Server was very kind, attentive and polite- thank you. ”
“ We loved this restaurant. It looked at bit sketchy going to it but once you get there you will feel safe. The food was fantastic. The waitress was great at keeping us full with drinks. Nice view of the water. Music playing. ”
“ Al little off the beaten path but worth the effort ,mostly locals go here. The food is very good . We had conch chowder and hogfish sandwiches. The hog fish has a buttery taste and flaky texture. Bahamian chowder was thick like chili and good. ”
