Key West, Florida
Monroe County · 405 restaurants
At the end of the Overseas Highway, Key West packs over 370 restaurants onto a tiny island just 2 miles wide and 4 miles long. Duval Street is the main artery of tourist dining — from rowdy bars to upscale seafood houses — while the quieter streets of Old Town hide some of the best meals in the Florida Keys. Fresh-caught fish, Key lime pie, and a Caribbean-influenced culinary identity make Key West's food scene as unique as the island itself.
Data on this page
InspectFL turns public DBPR inspection records into city-level score trends, grade breakdowns, and restaurant history so this page is useful for comparison, not just a list of names.
How to use this city page
Start with the citywide grade mix, then use filters to narrow by category, grade, or inspection dates before opening the full restaurant record.
What the citywide data means
Key West looks stronger than average on current grade mix, but individual inspection timelines still matter more than a citywide headline.

Important context for city pages
City pages are comparison tools built from public Florida DBPR inspection data. They help surface local patterns quickly, but they are not official government rankings and they should not replace reading the individual restaurant page before making a decision.
