    Food was good. Music was good. Roosters were out of control and had to be blasted with the water cannon on the table.

    We came with our dog and the server greeted us immediately and brought our pup a bowl of water. She was very friendly and provided very good service. The ambience was cool.and the guitar player was good. However, the food was probably the worst meals we've had at a restaurant. The fish in the fish and chips was really fishy and super greasy and the Cuban sandwich was dry and rock hard. The fries on both dishes were soggy. So great service, great atmosphere and horrible food.

    I am a local and wanted my guests to experience the charm of Rams Head. Despite making reservations over two weeks ago we were seated inside (and not able to enjoy the beautiful patio). We were offered the choice to wait 30 minutes for an outside table but what’s the point of a reservation?? There was an empty table outside that could have accommodated us. If the party who reserved THAT available table was not there, then why couldn’t we have taken it?? Help me understand who is getting preference to the most desirable tables when making a reservation?? (However, our waitress was delightful!)

    The only negative is there’s a trash can by the smoothie cart that attracts flies that is uncovered. As soon as our food arrived we were then swarmed by the flies.

    Just stopped in for a quick bite. Server was very nice, but service slow. He had too many tables. Therefore food arrived cold. But, it was great that they took reservations

    Overall one of the least impressive meals we’ve had since being in key west. First we made a reservation for 6:45 well in advance and it took the hostess 10 minutes to seat us. Then when she sat us, we sat up against the back of the frozen drink boat that sits out front of the restaurant, which smelled like complete garbage. It was like sitting in the middle of a garbage truck. We thought of getting up and leaving but our kids were pretty hungry. So we pinched our noses during the meal (buyer beware with the frozen drinks outside). The waitress was quite overwhelmed despite it not seeming to be very busy. She actually was very you’re good and was the highlight of the dinner. The food then arrived and mostly was cold. My shimp tacos had probably been prepared at least 25 minutes in advance. The least they could do would be to put it under a heat lamp. The outdoor music was below average. Not much better than a high school band. With so many good options for food and ambiance on Key West I’d recommend looking for a different establishment that will serve the same food in an environment that doesn’t smell of a trash truck and you hopefully you can get it warm. Plus side though is they do provide squirt bottles to ward off pesky chickens and roosters.
