Square Grouper Bar and Grill

World Class Food!

Best in the Keys … One of the Best in the World!

Located at MM 22.5 in Cudjoe Key, this restaurant might appear unassuming to those who don’t know what is held inside. The story of Square Grouper is worth the visit, alone. The food, however, is some of the best you will ever have, bar none.

Because we eat at the Square Grouper quite often, we always enjoy bringing friends and family when they come to visit. The other night was no different. My mother has an allergy to shellfish and we mentioned this when ordering the flash fried conch. My mom just said that she would not eat that appetizer, and opted for the mushrooms. I tell you this to explain the very brief mention of her shellfish allergy. Both of my parents ordered the toasted almond encrusted grouper dish. When they brought out all of our meals, they asked, "Who has the shellfish allergy?" They had prepared mom's grouper, separate! Shari S took care of us as our waitress, and boy did she ever take care of us! She was absolutely wonderful! Shari has waited on us before, but I just failed to mention her grace and attentiveness! I finally tried something different and ate the tuna steak. Exquisite. Absolutely wonderful! My husband ordered one of his favorites - the pepita chicken, and loved it. Our daughter had the jasmine bowl and is still talking about it tonight, three days later! This place never, ever disappoints. If you have to wait for the table, please don't worry. Enjoy a glass of wine or a cocktail and know that you are about to have one of the best meals of your life! Check them out here.
