Twisted Shrimp

A small, nautical-themed shrimp spot on the Overseas Highway in Islamorada, serving seafood salads and sandwiches.

Geprüft November 2026

Good for a casual shrimp lunch or early dinner on a Keys day trip. The trade-off: it's a small, quick-service room that closes at 8 pm, so don't plan a long night here.

The shrimp is the point

The name isn't subtle, and neither is the menu. Google describes it as shrimp plus seafood salads and sandwiches, which tells you this is a focused kitchen, not a sprawling Keys fish house with a forty-item menu. It sits at 4.8 from about 2,200 Google reviews, which is a lot of people agreeing about a small place on the highway. We don't have a current menu or prices, so check before you set your heart on a specific plate. It's also tagged as quick-service, so think lunch stop in flip-flops rather than a sit-down dinner with courses.

Fitting it into the drive

The kitchen runs 11:30 am to 8 pm every day of the week, with no late nights and no day off. That makes it an easy lunch on the way down to the Keys, or an early dinner before the drive back to Miami. Eight o'clock is the end, so if you're lingering at the beach until sunset, you'll be cutting it close. It's right on the Overseas Highway in Islamorada, the one road everyone drives anyway, so it doesn't cost you a detour. Pull in, eat, keep going.

Small room, low fuss

Expect a small, easygoing room with a nautical theme, which in the Keys means nobody cares what you're wearing. Small also means limited seats, so a big group arriving at peak lunch may have to wait or split up. A party of two or a solo driver will have an easier time. There's no dress code to worry about and nothing to book in our sources, so treat it as a walk-in stop. If you want a waterfront dinner with cocktails, this isn't that place. If you want shrimp done well without ceremony, it is.

Gut zu wissen

Doors close at 8 pm every night, so eat before you watch the sunset, not after.
