El Siboney Restaurant ( Stock Island)

We figured this place out on the way out of key west. Service was good and portions are big. We got some help with the menu and didn’t wait long for our food.
Will def recommend.

Great Cuban comfort food. Was recommended by locals and it did not disappoint. I had butterflied yellowtail snapper and my wife had shrimp. Both were served with rice, beans and plantains. Excellent meals. We also tried fried yucca with a house special dipping sauce, loved it. Great Mojitos too.

All of the staff were friendly and the room had a nice atmosphere. Would recommend and we'll be back!

So yummy! Had to actually take my food away so I would stop eating!!! Sooo much delicious food. Everything is good you can’t go wrong. Very nice waitress even if you don’t speak Spanish you feel like family. Good hidden gem! Make the trip, drink homemade sangria and eat it all!

Originally, we were trying to go to the other El Siboney’s. But, we realized Apple Maps was trying to take us back to Key West, and instead chose to go to the other El Siboney’s. Honestly, we were not disappointed whatsoever. Although it wasn’t super busy when we went in (around 18:00), it had a very homey feel, emphasized by the awesome service we received. As soon as we walked in, we were greeted and quickly sat down. Within a few minutes, we had a server dropping off silverware and getting us all drinks. Our waitress made us feel at home and was able to help us have a great experience.

After they gave us cheesy bread, it was demolished in mere minutes. It was toasted well, and tasted superb. We ended up getting some to go at the end because we did not want to leave without having some more. That was our only real appetizer because we left room for our main courses.

For my entree, I ordered the chicken salad. Although it was simple, it was good. The tomatoes and chicken were both succulent and tasted great. The chicken was spiced well, and the dressing (I think I ordered ranch) tasted really good. Both of my brothers ordered grilled fish, and they were very pleased with what they got. The fish was very flavorful, and the french fries were crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside. My mom ordered… something. I don’t really remember what it was. All I know is that it had pork, and was scrumptious. The things that I believe were Yuca Bites were super good, and the pork was somehow even better. We also got a plate of plantains, which surprised me. I’m not a huge plantain fan, but these were pretty good. Lots of flavor and were cooked perfectly.

As we were going on a fishing trip the next day, we ordered several sandwiches to go. For me: the Grilled Chicken Sandwich, and my two brothers and my father got the Cubano. Both types were super good, even though we ate them the next day. If you want good food, go to El Siboney Restaurant (Stock Island)!!!

This restaurant was recommended to me by a local and former employee. This location is a little off the beaten path, so it’s kind of a hidden gem. Immediately, upon walking in, I loved the atmosphere. I was in for lunch, a little after 1200, and it was not busy. The staff immediately greeted me, and were very friendly. I had a few minutes to look over the menu, which was difficult for me, since I couldn’t figure out which of a half dozen dishes I wanted. It all sounded great! I placed my order with my server, and the wait began. It wasn’t much of a wait; maybe 5-7 minutes. The steak and shrimp were perfectly seasoned, and I loved the sweet plantains. Absolutely incredible meal, and I don’t think I was even in the building for thirty minutes!
