unless you want to get other food. The bar also has a deal on tuna sashimi ($3) and shrimp or something else for a good deal. I should also mention that if you see a board with specials for food and drink it only applies downstairs and you will have to stand in line to order those items. While you are standing in line to order your food you will probably see a school of tarpon or some other big fish that are swimming around waiting for people to feed them. I believe the marina has fish food available as you aren't supposed to throw in your leftovers. The Hurricane Grille has good and cheap wings (25 cents per wing) on Thursdays. Try the Trashcan flavor, which is a combination of all their sauces, as it is surprisingly good despite the name. I would recommend going earlier to beat the crowds because it seems that all of Marathon comes out for Wing night. Another find in Marathon, is a Thai & Sushi place next to Upper Crust Pizza and across from the community park. I was pleasantly surprised with the Chicken Pad Thai ($11) and the Vegetable Massaman Curry ($10). I was skeptical at first with the quality of the food because of its location, but my palate was satisfied with the tastes the kitchen offered. I will go back when I have a craving for Thai food, but I can't comment on their sushi as we didn't try any. I must include McDonald's, which has the same 49 cent hamburgers and 59 cent cheese burgers on Wednesdays deal. The $1 parfait is tasty, but small and they don't have two for $1 hash browns for breakfast (you only get one for $1). I don't usually eat at McDonald's but I thought I would also point out they charge 10 cents for water and their drink machines are behind the counter so you have to get someone to give you a refill. It was interesting that they had their sweet & sour and BBQ sauces in pumps instead of the packages. I like the decorations for this McDonald's with its island theme. The food is pretty standard as it is a McDonald's franchise, nothing special.Tuesday, December 22, 2009
Marathon Restaurant Reviews
I haven't eaten out too much in Marathon, but I can give reviews for the places I have tried. Pizza Hut is the standard fare out here and they have lunch buffet everyday from 11:30am-1:30pm, but don't expect them to be on time everyday as sometimes they run on island time. I think we ended up eating a little before noon when we ate there for lunch. We ate at Castaways, which has no true identity with a sushi bar and a sports bar atmosphere. I ate their wings and it is not worth it, while their burgers are more tasty. I hear they have good sweet potato fries, but I didn't eat them so I can't really critique them. I thought the place was over priced and in a bad location (behind a trailer park). I didn't find any reason to return for a second meal. We also got burgers at Burdines, which has reasonable prices. I got a tasty chicken burger with spinach, tomato and feta cheese for $9, but it didn't come with any sides so we ordered a basket of fries ($4) containing enough for four people. They are known for their burgers at Burdines. We ordered the Fried Key Lime Pie and didn't think too much of it because we don't really like the tartness of key lime pie. Keys Fisheries Market & Marina was a great place to get cheap stone crab claws ($1/claw) from 3-9pm during the stone crab season (Oct. 15- May 15). I should note that you have to go to the saloon upstairs at the bar to get the crab claw deal and be aware that they do run out sometimes because they sell to buyers from Miami and surrounding areas. If I were you I would call ahead and make sure they still have the $1 crab claw before heading out there,
