Historic 7 Mile Grill Remains a Must-Stop Landmark for Travelers Exploring the Florida Keys on Their Way to Key West

Since 1954, the dockside seafood institution at Mile Marker 47.5 in Marathon continues to serve as the flavor of "Old Florida" for locals and for visitors making the scenic drive down the Overseas Highway to Key West.
MARATHON, Fla. - Halfway between the mainland and Key West, where the Overseas Highway stretches across open water, sits a Florida Keys landmark that has been feeding travelers since before the road itself was fully paved. 7 Mile Grill, located bayside at Mile Marker 47.5 in Marathon, has spent more than seven decades as one of the most recognizable stops for anyone making the drive south toward Key West - and it shows no signs of slowing down.

Established in 1954, 7 Mile Grill has long been a fixture of the Middle Keys dining scene. Since August 2021, owners Dan, Kristen, and Brynn have carried the torch forward, keeping the scratch kitchen tradition alive while adding their own touch to the menu. The result is a restaurant [https://www.sevenmilegrill.com/] that still feels like classic Keys living, with a menu that has grown to include a little bit of everything: fresh local seafood, homemade corned beef hash, hand-cut burgers, the restaurant's famous black grouper sandwich, and its award-winning, made-from-scratch Key Lime pie - plus newer additions like Greek chicken souvlaki and gyros alongside Mexican and Italian favorites.

"7 Mile Grill has always been about serving people the real taste of the Keys, whether that's a local stopping in for breakfast [https://www.sevenmilegrill.com/] or a family pulling off the highway on their way to Key West," said a spokesperson for 7 Mile Grill. "We want every visitor passing through Marathon to leave with a plate of great food and a genuine taste of what makes this stretch of the Keys special."

For travelers making the trip to Key West, 7 Mile Grill offers more than a meal. The restaurant's dockside and bayside seating lets guests arrive by car or boat, and its pet-friendly patio, ice-cold beer and wine, and Saxophone Sunday live music create the kind of laid-back, "low-key" atmosphere the Keys are known for - a reputation cemented when the restaurant was name-checked in a song by musician Jessie Rice celebrating the spirit of staying low-key in the Florida Keys. Guests looking to extend the adventure can also book jet ski, kayak, and paddleboard rentals on-site through Wet Willy's Water Sports, making 7 Mile Grill a convenient midway stop for both a meal and an on-the-water excursion before continuing toward Key West.

With breakfast served daily from 7:00 to 11:30 a.m., a daily happy hour from 3:00 to 6:00 p.m., and a menu built for everyone from early risers to large parties, 7 Mile Grill continues to anchor Marathon's stretch of the Overseas Highway as a genuine taste of the Florida Keys - not a replica of one.

7 Mile Grill is located at 1240 Overseas Highway, Marathon, FL 33050, and is open Monday through Wednesday and Friday through Sunday from 7:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m., and Thursday from 7:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. Carryout and to-go orders are available by calling (305) 743-4481.
