Angler & Ale

Great food, amazing service, and very kid-friendly. It was a little loud, but the place was clean, and they even provided a small fan to help with the flies (which are unavoidable).

This is a wonderful spot for casual dining near Islamorada. The atmosphere is super relaxed, and the location right by the water makes it even more special. It’s the perfect place if you’re looking for a quiet meal with a beautiful view. The food is really tasty and fresh, exactly what you would want from a laid-back coastal restaurant. The menu has a nice variety without being overwhelming, and the portions are just right. Sitting by the water, enjoying the calm surroundings and the gentle breeze, made the experience even better. It’s the kind of place where you can truly unwind and enjoy good food without any rush. I definitely recommend it if you’re in the area and want a peaceful and delicious meal by the water.

Brunch June 2025 menu- If you’re looking for the perfect weekend brunch spot, Angler & Ale absolutely delivers. Every Saturday and Sunday, they serve up an incredible brunch that checks all the boxes—bottomless mimosas and Bloody Marys (yes, bottomless!), a full cocktail menu, and a lineup of entrees and sides that are genuinely delicious. The food is fresh, flavorful, and thoughtfully prepared—from savory classics to creative specials. The portions are generous, and the vibe is exactly what you want on a slow, sunny morning by the water. Add in friendly service and a laid-back atmosphere, and it’s easy to see why this has become the go-to brunch spot. Highly recommend making it a weekend tradition!

I love a fresh catch basket! This was definitely fresh fish. Yummy! The service was on point by India, who was friendly, made sure we had all we needed, and was quick with the refills. Definitely recommend this place on a beautiful day so you can enjoy the outstanding view.

We went there 3 times in the week we stayed at Hawks Key! So um yeah, it’s pretty good I’d say. Pictured is the surf and turf (hell yeah), skirt steak, HOOK AND COOK BABY (5 lbs of yellowtail snapper caught on the Final Final charter which I also highly recommend with Jimmy & Jared), and then the desserts that all banged (banana split sure, chocolate brownie & ice cream, and s’mores dip with graham crackers outta this world). Ask for India and/or Emily as a waitress!! A riot. Also, the bartenders were top tier; Gregory puts on a show. Get in there now.

Amazing! We had a party of 10 people for a birthday dinner. Ralph was an amazing server very friendly and accommodating to our group! I had the quadrefiore pasta and key lime pie with great results. Would eat here again!

We went in for a late app & drink today. The bartender was quick to tell us how long we had before the kitchen closed and helped us place an order in time. We LOVED the spicy watermelon margarita & shrimp cocktail. We sat next to the manager, Garlin, who quickly offered a complimentary prosecco upon learning it was our anniversary. Overall the food was amazing and the staff went above and beyond to make our experience special. Highly recommend and will be back again soon!!

Apparently they have a new manager...great move! My wife and wanted a view of the water so we sat at the bar. Josee was a fantastic barkeep. Great conversation list and did well by my martini. All the servers helped us pick out what to eat, and they were so excited about helping us. They were dead on with everything. I’m from Florida but grew up in Maryland with Crabs and I had their crab dip and it was absolutely amazing. Very unique flavor so nice to have something different. The bread that they serve with it is fantastic. My wife and I split a fisherman pasta dish and it was loaded with seafood incredible sauce. I actually licked the plate. Apparently, they have a new manager named Garland and he was extremely attentive, not just to us but everybody there. Speaking with him, you could tell he has an intensity and desire to make sure things are done right. We have a few more nights and plan on going over there at least one more time. My only wish is that they served lunch.
