Awesome spot to people watch. Drinks weren't great, food was great, but the service wasn't great. Sat around for 15 after our table was cleared, before the server came back and asked if we wanted dessert or the check. Plus they have a mister to cool you off, but it dripped on me until I moved. Overall, good food, great... More

While I have been to K.W. many times and sampled a variety of restaurants from the curbside vendor to the white tablecloths, Caroline's was one of the more enjoyable places we've visited. A casual restaurant on Duval, I walked past this place several times checking out the marquee to just keep walking. My wife and I were staying a week... More

My wife and I had a delicious lunch at Caroline’s on the corner of Duval and Caroline. I had the Shrimp Po Boy, which was overflowing with shrimp. You literally have to eat the shrimp off the sandwich before trying to close the bun and eat the sandwich. My wife had the Boston Lettuce Wraps, again it was a lot... More

Got Caroline's Cafe as a recommendation from the Westin concierge. Very good food for a reasonable price. The hamburger was cooked correctly and was delicious. We had Lisa for our server and she made the day. She was personable, funny and a great server. She also gave us suggestions on other activities available during our short stay in Key West.... More

I was so happy that we found Caroline's on our 2nd day in Key West! The food was great, we probably had 5 - 6 meals there during our 8 days and it is a great place to spend the afternoon people watching as it sits slightly above Duval Street. We met Brent on our first trip there and by... More

I've been to Key West a few times and just left from my most recent trip. While there, I decided to try Caroline's this time around. I've walked by several times, but just was not sure it is my type of place to eat. However, it was recommended to me by a local so I decided to give it a... More

Took a family vacation the week before Mother's Day. We stayed in Marathon, FL but took a day to drive to Key West. Went to "0 point" to have picture taken & see the sights. Key West is a very tourist-y location. If you aren't into shopping, eating or bar hopping this isn't the place for you. It was extremely... More

Dinner at Carolines was a real tret. We were on a level that was about 4 feet higher than the street and at a sitdown bar that overlooked the street. The atmosphere was great with all the verrry interesting people to be seen on Duval street at night. The food was great, wife had a shrimp wrap with lettuce leaves... More
