Gus’s Grille

Bar dirty. Wanna see ?
Bartender poor English. Small bar inside
Not a real bar could be bigger and should be
This guy isn’t a bartender

Ate breakfast at Gus’s as the hotel gave us a free breakfast coupon at check-​in. Hostess was nice. The waitress seemed like she really didn’t want to be there. Only 1 set of silverware on the table… there were 2 of us. They didn’t notice. First menus impression — prices were more than 50 percent higher than local restaurants. And we’ve eaten at those restaurants previous 4 days. And the food at those other restaurants was amazing. Back to Gus’s. I had a ham and cheese omelet and my wife had an egg white omelet with veggies. Omelettes were good. Toast was cold. Potatoes were colder. The only good things were we got to the beach quicker and the experience ensured we would not even think of eating lunch or dinner there.

We are staying at the Mariott so this was the closest place to walk for breakfast. It was fine but a bit pricey. Nothing was amazing but nothing was bad either. Buffett was $ 20/​pp and included drinks, and freshly made omelets.

This is not good for kids. Too expensive. Great view. Go somewhere else. One of the worst family restaurants in the area. Creepy waiter.

We had the blacked chicken pasta, the fish tacos, the bbq pizza and the tuna salad.
The food was expensive and the recipies were from the Marriott operations manual.
The view is very nice and the service is good.

Food always tastes better by the sea! Gus’s Grill was a pleasant surprise in Key Largo. We are frequent visitors to Key Largo eateries so we figured lets hit up our favorite hotel chain Marriott!
Yes this Key Largo location is a bit run down and the restaurant is something out of the early 90’s, but who cares! Service was attentive, drinks were the perfect concoction, food was tasty and the view was spectacular!!!
So what’s the low down on the apps?!
Overall they were good! We tried they calamari, buffalo wings and shrimp cocktail. I liked the calamari and wings most! Calamari was not too greasy, lightly breaded and topped with delicious banana peppers and green onions! The mixture of sweetness from the banana peppers and the salty calamari was perfect! Wings were surprisingly delicious for being a Marriott in the Keys… They were awesome! The shrimp cocktail was okay and was nothing special.
So what’s good for lunch?!
The blackened mahi tacos were delish! The tacos were huge with tons of mahi and the garlic aoli sauce was the perfect complement topping! I would highly recommend it!
Others in my group are everything on their plates so they must have liked what they ordered (which was Ahi tuna salad, steak salad, and blackened shrimp pizza).
The restaurant has great views from both inside and out on the balcony! We were a party of six and they barely were able to squeeze a table for six out on the balcony. Tables outside can only cater to small parties of apparently 5 or less but luckily they allowed us to squeeze a sixth. If you are a larger party than six you will have to eat inside the restaurant (which also has nice views but obvious better ambiance is outside).
Overall, good not great experience (hence the 4 out of 5 stars). I will be back again

Service was very good and friendly. It was a Wednesday and there was only one other couple in the restaurant. The food was ok. I’d pass on the conch soup, it was just ok and not much conch. Seemed very institutional. The diver scallop appetizer that I had as my meal was delicious. Also try out the mango jalapeño butter with bread. Very tasty. Pass on the sautéed spinach. Had NO flavor and was under seasoned. Prices were just ok for what you got.

Really disappointed in this place. It’s attached to a high-​end hotel and has the appearance of being somewhat formal dining… but it sucks. Not only is the menu super limited, all wines are pretty much by the bottle, but the seafood was also frozen. I don’t mind eating frozen seafood, if it’s reflected in the price. But for $ 34 a plate, and it is advertised as «fresh»… no way. Spend your money on another resatuarnt like conch house, marker 88, or islamorada fish company. All of those would be WAY better choices for quality and value of food. Only positive about this place was the unique butter that came with the bread and the view of the water.

We stayed at the Marriott so we were given free breakfast coupons– like most buffets everything is cold, under cooked or over cooked. Can’t go wrong with toast and fresh fruit. Another morning we waited 5 minutes to be seated, finally we sat ourselves. The wait staff basically walked around us. No one took the initiative to ask us if we needed anything, after sitting there for 5 minutes with no service we left. Staff needs cross training– they all looked at us like «that’s not my table». So I don’t have much of an opinion about the food because we not served. Extremely poor service!

I’m mixed here. It was the best food we had in Key Largo. Fish tacos be crab cake get 4 stars but the cocktails were disgusting. Tried 4 different types, how can you screw up a mojito? I thought a corona would be a safe bet but the bottle had soap on the top. Nice atmosphere on the beach though. Would be back for food.

Während eines fünftägigen Aufenthalts im Marriott Beach Ressort, waren wir zweimal zum Frühstücksbüffett und einmal zum Abendessen dort.
Generell: tolle Lage und viel und gründliches Personal. Waren jedes Mal auf der Terrasse, wunderbar. Gut zu erreichen für Marriottgäste.
Frühstücksbüffett: tolle omlette, viele Früchte, viele Süßigkeiten. Ist ok, muss man mal gesehen haben. Für zwanzig Dollar recht teuer, außer man isst wirklich viel. Nach dem zweiten mal Frühstück dort, sind wir zu Starbucks.
Abendessen: Recht teuer, gute Weinempfehlung, eher gehobener Standard, gute Fischgerichte. Allerdings eiskalte Fries by the side (wurden ausgetauscht) und eher etwas chaotisceg Service. Alles in allem ganz ok, aber nicht für diesen Preis. 3 Glas Wein und zwei Entrees für 100 $.

Food was much better then expected. The décor in the restaurant needs some update I guess but it is clean and the service good.

Needed a quick lunch on Thanksgiving, staying at the Marriott and chose to dine at Gus’.
Nice views, both indoor and out. Service was very good, and our server was charming. Appetizers ok– quesadilla was good, but a little soggy; conch fritters were overdone.
Kids’ pizzas were a disappointment– tomato chunks on margherita pizza were clearly straight from a can, and covered most of the pie. Blackened mahi sandwich was lacking in flavor and texture– very little blackening seasoning on the small filets (asked for more to try and salvage it, but texture was still off-​putting. Wife’s lobster bisque, however, was very good.
Expected better quality food for these prices: May try again (different selections) tomorrow, but we will have many more dining options tomorrow.

Great food great view great service, not much else you could ask for out here in this under-​par tourist trap of a town.

I breakfasted here for a few days. The buffet was quite good and had good variety. Most notably the service was outstanding. Barbara exceeded all expectations and provided personal service.
The view was great. The restaurant was very clean.

View: Spectacular. Can see for miles over the bay. Boats. Paddleboarders. It’s truly chill.
Drinks: The margaritas are good, but nothing that makes them unique to this restaurant.
Food: Please do yourself a favor and get anything but the lobster bisque. I like my bisque with crackers to add some substance to the liquid, but they have no saltines or chowder crackers at the restaurant. The lobster bits were taut, chewy and tasted like soppy crumpled paper. I’ve had dozens of lobster bisque and this one is definitely my least favorite.
Went around 4pm. Not a lot of people in sight but that adds to the laid back, Key Largo vibe that they are going for.
I’d go again and try something different. Prices weren’t outrageous. And the hotel looks nice.

Outstanding food and service. I will return when Im back in Key Largo

You get waterfront view! There are indoor and outdoor seating. Very limited amount of outdoor seating. We arrive around 8am and there were no hot water for tea or hot chocolate. Very weird how this was the easiest thing to make and they do not have. The next thing that was not available was mushroom and shrimps and grits. I feel a resort like this should have everything ready by open of business. Their omelet, coffee and variety of selections were good. Their service was good the waiter was friendly.

The food is Good, service is terrible.
Employees playing with each other and not paying attention to our needs.
Had to ask several times to get service.
Not recommended.

Gus’s Grille is okay. It is not great food, but convenient if you are staying at the Marriott. In addition at the Marriott, there were really no other breakfast places to chose from. The food was good and the service was acceptable. There is really nothing to complain or even rave about. It is just like the rating claims «A-​OK.» The prices are good, $ 17 for an all you can eat buffet.

From start to beginning great dinner and beautiful sunset. Firecracker shrimp, incredible… entries all great and the Banana xango desert AMAZING!!!

Such an nice view and such an excellent cook under the same roof. Don’t miss it. Martin from Germany (and we know good food).
