Porky's Bayside Restaurant and Marina

We've heard about this place for a couple of years and finally decided to check it out. We should have came a long time ago. We were seated immediately, and there were plenty of servers running around. We were a bit overwhelmed when they dropped off 5 different menus. One for the regular fare, a sushi menu, a drink menu, a happy hour menu, and the daily special menu. We selected some of the happy hour dishes. My wife had soup, a half dozen oysters, and I had the chef special tacos and Pork Sliders. Everything was delicious. We topped it off with deep fried key lime pie, which was far better than Kermits, in our opinion. Very moist and light. With a drink each, all of that still came to less than $60. The atmosphere is Key West casual, overlooking a marina.

Great atmosphere with waterside sitting! All the food is great yet I’m writing this review in reference to their sushi! This is hands down the most generous service and best quality sushi in Marathon and they don’t even get mentioned in a sushi recommendation by locals. I have been living here for a year now and eaten sushi all over the country and I have been nothing but impressed with their food!

We were greeted and seated promptly. Our drinks were delivered fast as was our meal. The food was delicious and presented well. Portions were large. The deep fried key lime pie was great .

Another five star for us! Porky's was an experience in itself! The food and service was amazing.

We got the Smoked Salmon Breakfast Club, Huevos Rancheros and the Smoked House Breakfast with Beef Brisket. Every was well cooked and presentable, only thing would be to have toasted the bread on the club. Other than that no complaints! Drinks were also great the cappuccino and the fresh orange juice were also delicious!

The service was quick and efficient. Our waitress was attentive and checked in on us frequently.

The selling point was the atmosphere and experience there! It was right on a dock with a great view and while you were waiting for your food there were multiple different things to go look at or do! For example, feeding the fish, art gallery, photo opportunities (check out the picture with the big fish) and cool decor! Would recommend this place to locals and visitors. They also have a mini-golf course and a weekly competition!!

Great relaxed atmosphere. Jimmy Buffett tunes going and the BBQ was great. Deep fried key lime pie was so good!

Ate here for breakfast one day, and lunch another day. By far one of the best places to eat around the marathon area. Everything I got was excellent, prepared correctly and had excellent flavor. We would not hesitate to come back and try anything else on the menu. Great place

Porky’s Bayside is as expected with some unexpected surprises. Expected: tiki hut charm ✅, friendly staff ✅, great happy hour ✅. Unexpected: the sushi is really good and we saw manatees right off the restaurant marina! I was a little concerned with the size of the menu since there are so many offerings at Porky’s. It concerned me because a spot with a large menu tends not to do anything well. But another pleasant surprise is the food is good. Have visited about 4-5 times. Is everything a home run, no but the BBQ is solid and the sushi is surprisingly good. So far Porky’s happy hour (see HH menu in photos) from 3pm-6pm is one of my favorites in Marathon. Nice variety of food choices outside of the typical chicken wings and peel & eat shrimp (it’s there too with other items). Definitely a locals spot give Porky’s a try.

We had pulled pork sandwich with fries and Philly beef sandwich with potato salad. Both were excellent. Indoor dining with open walls and fun decor.

Awesome spot for lunch! Went to Porky's with my girlfriend and had an amazing experience. Our waiter “Kerr” was fantastic. Very attentive, friendly, kind & knowledgable!!! We had the beer battered gator bites as an appetizer, definitely would recommend trying them. Beef brisket, spare ribs, mashed potatoes, and southern fried corn on the cobb were flavorful, cooked perfectly, and overall very tasteful. Homemade chocolate mouse was by far the best chocolate mouse that I’ve ever had. Awesome location right before the 7-mile bridge. Restaurant & bar had great vibes, good music & a friendly crowd. Also super dog friendly which is always a PLUS!!! We will definitely be going again soon. Thank you Kerr for such a wonderful dining experience!!

This place was yummy, I had Babyback ribs, corn coleslaw and mashed potates! This place has a giant menu, everything for everybody! And of course I had a mule, island mule! Yummy!
Laid back atmosphere! Great waitstaff!

Great BBQ and sides. Staff was friendly and made you feel at home. Porky's is the spot for BBQ in the Keys.

Great dock side dining. Fun atmosphere and great food. Our group came for breakfast and had BBQ pork breakfast sandwich, Egg burrito, biscuit sausage gravy, home fries and grits. Everything was wonderful.

Food, service, and atmosphere all four stars! One of our new favorite restaurants in the Keys and bonus: It's right outside our marina in Marathon!

Go there hungry! Lots of food and very well cooked. Didn't have a appetiser. Our server was almost to keen, sat down menus straight away. Drinks arrived very quickly. Service is excellent. He recommended the BBQ pork , tacos and burgers and key lime pie. Went for fish cakes and pulled bbq pork. Fish cakes came with a fresh coleslaw and a tangy sauce which went well with the fish. The pork was so soft and tender not drenched in sauce. Would recommend either dish. The deep fried key lime pie was a bit of disappointment, didn't really taste of lime not sure on that one tbh.

Andrew our server was so lovely and pleasant! Had some great menu recommendations. Our food came out super fast and tasted great! Get the deep fried key lime pie, you won’t regret it!!

My husband and I decided to stop at this restaurant for brunch. Unfortunately, breakfast and at 11:00 a.m. and we were unable to have lunch. I was a little bummed but it was absolutely our responsibility to look ahead of time and determine what the breakfast and lunch hours were. The restaurant is so cute and very inviting. I saw a sign welcoming patrons and their pets, which I thought was pretty cool. This restaurant is located at the edge of the water, with a thatch roof, and open walls for an amazing Breeze. Everyone seemed very friendly, and I think that the restaurant even hosts different events throughout the week. The restaurant is brightly colored with cute seating areas and a bar. Some of the patrons seemed to be regulars and were very friendly and welcoming. My husband and I ordered lunch, which came out pretty quickly to our surprise. I believe the menu offers a little bit of variety, such as different fish options, some barbecue, and other little food delights. If you're in the area, I would absolutely recommend this restaurant for some food and fun!

Everything...drinks, appetizers, meal, dessert, all of it was excellent! We went for lunch. The atmosphere was nice, we went kind of early so it wasn't extremely busy. All of the staff were nice and friendly. Our waitress Kelly was super sweet! We will definitely be back!

Delicious breakfast and rest of the day spot. Definitely has an island vibe but is very clean and the staff is a team and works well together!

Skip some of the other local joints, head here for breakfast, I promise you'll be impressed. I took a chance and had eggs Benedict and the eggs were perfectly poached, hollandaise sauce was fresh and it was not overly salty. The potatoes were not out of the bag they were fresh cut and cooked perfectly.

Grits have real texture and are creamy, the perfect consistency.

Even the breakfast burrito is no simple thing. After filling a healthy size burrito, it was grilled so it has a nice texture on the outside and delicious flavor inside.

I had really wanted the Challah French toast, with real maple syrup, or maybe a bloody Mary, but my stomach isn't big enough for one day so we'll be back!

The portions are generous and the food is great, Not a big surprise for one of the the oldest continually operated restaurants in town. I can't wait to go back and try the barbecue and other menu items on the diverse made from scratch menu. It was a pleasure sitting in a big open air restaurant with the attentive staff, delicious food and drinks.

It's definitely on the top of our list for breakfast. And it's actually kind of fun because it's not fancy, some picnic tables are in the dining room, and the ceiling is painted vibrant colors, but don't let that for you, the food is professional, the staff is generous and welcoming, and this is the perfect balance of a delicious restaurant on the island!

almost went to IHop but came here instead . what a great decision. great atmosphere, we sat by window & nice to see boats next to use . had shrimp & grits . yum yum . for sure have stop by for dinner on our way back from Key West.

On a “bucket list” road trip with the family we pulled in here for lunch as they were right off the main highway. The curb appeal was what we wanted when trying to experience the keys. We loved the open air environment! One of the things we were doing on our trip despite NOT really being fans of Key Lime Pie was was to try as many of the restaurants different spins. After our trip was done we unanimously agreed the our favorite was here at Porky’s!!!
