Caroline’s Cafe Key West: Iconic Duval Street Sidewalk Dining

Bold Island Flavors & Prime People-Watching on Duval Street

Caroline’s Cafe Key West serves up fresh seafood, hearty salads, and irresistible island-style dishes from its elevated open-air perch at 310 Duval Street, offering one of the most entertaining dining experiences in Old Town. Open daily from 11:00 AM to 11:30 PM, this Duval Street favorite has been a go-to casual restaurant since 1999, known for generous portions, signature cocktails, and unbeatable people-watching in the center of the action.

The menu highlights local character beginning with crisp Conch Fritters packed with tender conch, crunchy Dolphin (Mahi) Fingers, and crowd-favorite Tex-Mex Rolls bursting with bold flavors. Oversized salads deliver creative combinations, including the fan-favorite Macon & Bacon Salad loaded with fried chicken, maple pecans, and bacon, along with vibrant tropical picks such as the Bamboozled Salad.

Satisfying sandwich creations define the Caroline’s experience, featuring Caroline’s Famous Fish Sandwich, the spicy Cajun Blackened Chicken Sandwich, and the beloved Rev. Joe’s Burger. Guests looking for heartier plates find island-inspired comfort in the Spicy Cajun Jambalaya with shrimp, chicken, and andouille sausage, Caribbean Steak rubbed in local spices, and Island Style Roast Pork Bowl layered with rich tropical flavors.

Signature cocktails add to the lively atmosphere, ranging from the refreshing Mango Delight to the citrus-forward Golden Margarita and chilled Key West Lemonade. Local brews from Waterfront Brewery, gluten-free choices, and takeaway options round out the experience, whether dining al fresco above the Duval crowds or picking up food for the night ahead. Finish with a sweet Key West classic — authentic homemade Key Lime Pie, daily cheesecakes, or the decadent Cookie Monster dessert.

Caroline’s Cafe captures the energetic spirit of Duval Street dining with flavor, personality, and the best seats for street-side entertainment in Key West.
