    What a fun place to eat!! Having seen that Diners, Drive Ins, and Dives was here, as well as online reviews, we knew we had to try this establishment. We were not disappointed. Everything we ordered, from the smoked fish dip, to the fresh hogfish with shrimp and scallop stuffing, to the grilled lion fish, to the desserts.....wow...everything was delicious!! Table service was amazing. The place was rocking, yet our food came out timely and hot!! We actually went back for a second dinner during our stay in Marathon. I would recommend that you make a reservation if you plan on eating dinner here. On both nights, we arrived at our reservation time and were promptly seated. We will be back!!!!

    If in the middle Keys, Castaways is a must! It doesn’t look like much from the outside, but the food was amazing and the manatee visited around dusk! Try the crab queso and the lobster enchilada. You won’t be disappointed!

    Food, ambiance, and service great. Parking is absolutely horrible. Not sure how a business can run with no parking. Take an uber and you’re fine.

    The lion fish sushi roll was great! So was the Blackened shrimp Alfredo. Securing reservations through open table earlier in the day was key. When we arrived for our 7:15 reservation there was 1.25 hour wait for those with no reservations.

    After seeing the sushi person blow his nose and then continue to stand behind the sushi counter I knew this place was not for me. I then witnessed a guy wipe his nose with his inflicted finger and grab a glass and Fill with ice. Thanks god I didn’t order sushi. This is clearly a health dept violation. Get together castaways won’t be back

    As usual, you have to stop at this place while you’re in the keys. Don’t get scared driving down that alley, because once you reach the end, you’ve found a gem! Food is amazing, servers are friendly & helpful.

    Amazing sushi! My wife does not like seafood so I had to eat 3 rolls by myself. King of the jungle, rainbow roll, and do not remember the 3rd. Asked our waitress to bring me one of her favorites. All were delicious! Wife had a chicken wreckdiver style dish and it was wonderful too!
