SEAFOOD
The lobster Reuben is the stuff of legend here. Sweet, chunky, creamy, so good it'll make
you leave unsightly drool all over the place mat. But you can't go wrong with any of the
excellent seafood here, all served with sass. Expect pleasant levels of seagull harassment
as you dine on a working waterfront.
As an odd bonus, to order you have to identify your favorite car, color, etc; a question
that depends on the mood of the guy behind the counter.

It's the best breakfast around, served by sweet Southern women who know their way
around a diner. The biscuits are fluffy, and they drown so well in that thick, delicious saus-
age gravy, and the grits are the most buttery soft starch you'll ever have the pleasure of
seeing beside your eggs.

Besides being our favorite bar in Marathon, the Hurricane also serves an excellent menu of
creative South Florida-inspired goodness. Snapper stuffed with crabmeat comes after an
appetizer of conch sliders (miniburgers) jerked in Caribbean seasoning. Save room for the
chicken wings, an amazing blend of hot, sweet and plain delicious. The $5 lunch specials
are a hell of a deal.
