Walk-ins welcome · Happy Hour until 6PM · 217 Duval St
217 Duval St, Key West
Bayou cooking meets Key West energy. The only Cajun seafood on Duval Street — and it shows.
Duval Street has no shortage of places to eat. What it has a shortage of is places that cook with actual conviction. Stinkin Crawfish is the only Cajun seafood restaurant on Duval Street — and it's not trying to be everything to everyone. It does one thing: Louisiana-style seafood, done right, in an open-air patio on the most iconic block in the Florida Keys.
The menu is built around the boil — crawfish, shrimp, crab, and lobster cooked in House Cajun Special spice or Old Fashioned Garlic Butter. Alongside that you'll find New Orleans Gumbo (crab, shrimp, chicken, andouille sausage), fresh oysters, wings, jalapeño poppers, and a lobster roll that regularly gets called the best in Key West in Google reviews.
What makes it Cajun (and not just seafood)
The Key West twist is in the atmosphere. The patio is open-air, two steps from the street, with frozen drinks at the bar and Dallas Doctor playing live music on Tuesday through Friday. It's not a white-tablecloth Louisiana restaurant — it's a bayou seafood shack that landed on Duval Street and refuses to apologize for it.
Happy hour runs every day from 12 PM to 6 PM: $1 oysters, $1 wings, $1 off beers, $2 off cocktails. If you show up between noon and 2:30 PM on a weekday, you get the deals and the live music at the same time. That's the move.
