00:00 Start of the Florida Keys

21:20 The Conch Shack
28:00 Kermit's Key West Key Lime Pie Shoppe
After exploring the great places in Florida, a few viewers suggested to visit the Florida Keys. This isn't a short journey; rather an epic drive along the 113 miles of Overseas Highway with its stunning views surrounded by ocean. And as gorgeous as the drive was, it was the stops along the way that made it fun and exciting.
First stop, a little breakfast to start the day and the Cracker Barrel, then visiting Robbie's Marina with a full tourist mindset... that certainly was a must see stop with so many attractions: excursions, water sports, a drink or two, and of course, feeding those tarpons!
But along the drive, I did notice a sign that was too good to be true...an all you can eat Seafood buffet along the way...for mountains of blue crab and lobsters too (well, not a whole lobster, but it will suffice).
And at the end on the line, the most southern part of the US, I arrive at Key West! Reaching mile zero took me to a place of a time gone by...yard birds roaming the streets, the sights and smells of great eats, and the friendly atmosphere. Being only here once in a blue moon, I certainly had to indulges in those crispy, fluffy conch fritters and end with a slice of key lime pie.

Very misleading- mr Lee mentioned the price as $30 something. And he showed crab legs , etc. when I called today (may 23) they said prices have increased (iver $40) and crab or lobster is extra. 😒🤨
Hi Fred, thank you for this information...I'm a bit slow with video editing and videos with multiple locations are pushing my limited capabilities 😉. Hence the delay in publishing this video and the pricing changes since.
It was approx $30 when I went and did include the blue crab (but not whole lobsters; only that Lobster dishes shown in the video). I'm just spinning this comment so others can see this and will post their updated pricing in this thread and update the video description.
Hope this didn't cause too much inconvenience on your end.
Dude do you know how RUclips Video a are produced? You can clearly read Lee mentioned approximately he did not say it’s definitely $30 also most RUclipsrs film months in advance before posting the video and a-lot can change in that time!
With the inflation that's going on right now, expect changes in prices right before your eyes. Biden did it!!!!
Tim is a great guy with a lot of integrity and would never mislead anyone on purpose… We love him♥️‼️🙋♀️☮️
Still a good deal for $40 a person.
Form comparison's sake. Boston Lobster in Orlando now is $65.00 and is way more crowded and this place's food looks more Fresh. =)
Tim, I appreciate your authenticity and the high quality video yet without the overly staged production.
Thank you so much for your very kind comment... Still figuring this out as I go, but really having fun editing and filming...
i feel so lucky having found this dude's channel so early. this sub count always surprises me. i just know his personality is going to get him to 100K, 1M so fast.
Ur right...every video he does is enjoyable and his personality is genuinely appealing without the fake reactions other more famous food vloggers on RUclips have. At 50k subs he must be financing all these videos himself as well so I hope he grows fast!!! Spread the word!
@@randyschwaggins frfr at your first part .. also youre so right about him financing it all! didnt even really think about it till i realized when i got into his channel he was in Canada, and this is the most southern Florida! also is it just me or he kinda teaches you how to treat others? im getting a new job working with the public and im so excited to treat people the way he does, he always makes people feel like people !!
Thank you so much for your kind comments. This is my hobby and grateful to get a chance to connect and am humbled to get to share these experiences. Very much appreciate you all for reaching out and all the best to you 🙂
@@TimLeeLetsGo you are awesome! You are my relaxing space on my commute
I know it's a small thing, but it warms my heart when you say the servers first name.. Actually it's a big thing...
Hi Ed, really grateful that all the servers and hosts were such good sports 🙂
Just past Marathon is Porkies bayside bbq.... it’s a must!!!
Thank you Gene! Adding porkies to the list...and live the name😃
TIM- Great to see you are enjoying Florida, my 2 favorite places in USA are Florida and Texas without a doubt!!!!!!
You know, Texas and Florida are my favourite places too! Incredible people there!
@@TimLeeLetsGo YES that is very true 100%
The oysters are amazing!
Very fresh😋
Tim: I'm so full from all that dessert I couldn't eat another thing.
Tim, 1 second later: Oh the Conch Shack.... I'll have six. 😆😁😁
Oh, I know... I was still full from the buffet, but I figured I'm not there all the time...😆😉
@@TimLeeLetsGo and that's why we love you. You get to eat all the things we can't, especially me, I'm no longer able to eat any wheat/gluten, dairy or sugar, so I get to "experience" all the yummy buffets and food through you and your description of the tastes.
You can tune a piano but you can't tune a fish lol hope that sesame tuna was epic
😆
Wow Tim! $30 for that buffet? Definitely great bang for your $$.
Definitely very good value😋
Omg Tim's subtle humor kills me. All the jokes he made about the tarpon attack and getting revenge 😂😂i come for the great commentary and yummy food. Stay for the humor and kindness Tim spreads! thank you for an upload, Tim! that Buffet looked amazing!
Thank you xc, in reality, I really don't know what I'm saying on those videos and I'm quite surprised when I watch them back 😆
@@TimLeeLetsGo hahaha 😂
Ah, the Keys. Spent much time there in my younger years... a handful of decades ago. Great memories. Ate at Whale Harbor more than once. Mouthwatering. Thanks Tim. Best
Great to hear Tom! I didn't realize whale harbor has been around for a while, it looked like a newly opened restaurant... very glad they keep everything on the up and up🙂
I don’t know how you could eat so much, I love how your so polite to the servers they are the unsung heroes 👍👍👍
Hi Mark, interesting story.. on my way back from key west, I had to get gas and happened to bump into Edwin who was filling up as well after work.. He came up to say hi... Really friendly individual at work and outside...
That ONE Snapper would do me - haha - you are amazing at eating! Thank you - I eat live through you x
That pie looks divine
In the keys now with the family. Staying in key largo…but made the trip to key west today. The buffet is very close to our resort. So glad you did a review of that place because I so wanted to try it out. Went to their sister restaurant “snappers” the other day and loved it. Hope the buffet is as good as when you tried it out. Went to Kermit’s (always have to stop any time in key west) and had a great meal at Louie’s Backyard which was delicious. It is near the southernmost point marker in key west.
Tim I really like watching your channel I enjoy your content
Thank you Toni 🙂
Lived in FL for 5 years and most memorable trip was to the keys. Glad you got there, Tim!!!
It will my next one day
Really enjoyed the Keys Julie 🙂.. you live in such a wonderful state 🙂
Still catching up with Tim's great videos and the prices of anything doesn't matter since I'm not watching in real time. It's free to watch Tim's awesome videos.
I drove to Key West in the 70's so it's nice to see the changes. Thanks, Tim, for sharing your adventures and making me wish I was there with you. 🤗❤️👍👍😘😋
thank you Tim for the great video as always :)
Thank you Jackie 🙂
I LOVE Florida. Lots of Canadians visit there including myself and Tim Lee 👍🏼👍🏼🍺
Greetings to you from a fellow Canadian! Really enjoy Florida for sure
another great vid, loved watching you feed the tarpons. it was fun to watch. . thank you 😊
Thank you for your videos Tim. I love how you show your drive and your walks too. I also love how nice you are. Can't wait to see where you go next!
Hi Ken, there was a lot of driving and a lot of walking...😉
23:55 The chickens foot that suddenly came into view at the bottom right of frame 😂😂
Oh, that chicken was there hanging around the whole time 😆
YUM!!A beer and conch fritters!!! 😋
We're having a bit of a heat wave here and a beer and conch fritters would hit the spot right about now 🙂
Fish and seafood are my jams 😅
A
Tim, always ask the local people who has the best key lime pie or anything you're looking for, they'll never steer you wrong if they're nice people.
You should so have more subscribers your channel content is brilliant
I went to Key West so many times and I really enjoyed it
We finally got in early to see this episode. Absolutely loving this episode, it's totally has a Foodie Adventure feel👍
Whale Harbor really has a delicious tropical flare, and a great deal too. Yes to the snapper. Kim's never been to Key West so it's definitely our bucket list. Your episodes are always a Joy:) Sending Best Wishes and Blessings, James and Kim ❤️
Thank you again James and Kim and hope all is well 🙂. How are your travel plans coming along?
Good Thank you:) Always little issues but reworking the hot water system before completing. But almost ready to hit the road. Will update asap.
Wonderful video Tim! The wife and I were in the Keys last October 2021. Whole yellow tail snapper, cracked conch, key west pink shrimp and hog fish were our favorites. I meet a local fisherman and bought 12 live lobsters and a mutton snapper for $100. Great memories.
Woah!!! 12 lobsters and the snapper for $100!!!! I need to go back soon! 🙂
Drove from Miami years ago. Amazing Trip
I had kermit's key lime pie before. Good pick!
Hi Matthew, their key lime pie was quite tasty, wasn't it! Hope you're keeping well and are you heading to Vegas soon! I saw that there was a lobster buffet at the Palm 😋
Very nice video. Great looking food. Great info. Thanks and take care.
Thanks Tim for your videos, after 3 months of no appetite, and 9 days in the hospital, your videos are helping me get my appetite back.
Here's to wishing you a speedy recovery! Hope you're keeping well 🙂
I can’t wait to visit key west and the buffet. Thanks for the tips.
Who would have known that there would be a nice buffet along the keys
Thank you, Tim. I love this video
Again I wish I was there with you traveling, eating and having a great time.
Hope you're traveling again Dena... safely of course 🙂
Thank you, Tim stay safe
Thank you Jean 😃
Hi Tim , everything looks delicious. I had back surgery last Wednesday I’m still in hospital. Take care
I got to go to Key West once. Awesome.
It was a really fun trip 😃
I can't believe you made that drive after a meal like that. I would've needed to pull over for a nap. lol
Getting to Key West wasn't bad...but the drive from Key West back to Miami at night was tough!😉
Thanks for another great video, Keys are awesome.
Thank you Jennifer 🙂
Key west was so fun!
Totally agree 🙂
Great video Tim!
Tim: that was a super day trip to the Keys! The buffet AYCE even at $40 was a good deal. I love the conch fritters as well.!
Thank you Laurence and hope you're doing well! Have you been traveling much?
I really enjoy your videos 👏👏👏
❤❤ wonderful video!
Thank you again Marie🙂
Being a Canadian love this guys accent. I lost mine eons ago.
Accent? What accent? 😆
@@TimLeeLetsGo Canadian.
Hi Tim. Amazing trip and delicious food. Wow, I was drooling watching you eat at the buffet. Great video Tim.🙂
The first fish you fed at the Tarpoon feeding was a nurse shark....that you fed by hand
Great video. I have been down the Keys many times as we have many friends down there. I hope you will show more of the Keys in your next video.
Loved this one so much!! 🐟🦀🐚🌞
Thank you so much Kendra 🙂
Wonderful trip.
Thanks for taking us along..
Thank you Jacqueline 🙂
Thanks Tim for another Delicious Video. That Snapper looked Amazing along with everything else. I can't believe the Highways weren't that crowded. I guess I'm use to the busy ones in Los Angeles. Take Care.
Hey Tim wonderful video as always thanks for always taking us with you with your videos
Thank you again Malissa... Was not intending to go to the keys, but thanks to some urging of my friends, I made the trip and was glad I did

Damn with all your delicious foodie adventures my bucket list is turning into a journal.. thanks for another delicious video 🥰

What an adventure, Tim. I was waiting for your new video. Nothing like finding a surprise buffet! Well done.
Yeah, I was a bit shocked to find the buffet there 😃
Well Tim, a to to San Diego is all that's left for you to visit all 4 corners of the Country, great video
Great suggestion Phil... Kind of like completing a mission 😆
Mr. Tim I did love your videos from the USA tour so many memories and great places you did show us.
Thank you again! It was quite a fun trip and grateful to get the chance to share these experiences
Good review Tim 👍the dessert looked delicious😋and that chowder.
Really enjoyed the desserts and I certainly tested the saying "there's never enough of a good thing"😉
Hi Tim Lee, I’m enjoy watching your adventures in Florida ❣️. I have always wanted to visit there, so glad to see you enjoy all that wonderful food😋
Thank you for sharing, that all you can eat Whales Harbor is the place I would go💗😻
I hope you get a chance to visit, was not planning to visit the keys myself but so glad I made the trip 🙂
Great video!
Thank you 🙏
Hi Tim, Thanks so much for showing us this Key West video, with the unique seafood buffet and snacks. Looking forward to your next video.
Thank you Winnie! Was not planning to visit the keys but really glad to make the trip.. hope you get a chance to visit too
Very nice Tim!
Thank you Michael 🙂
Good video tim lee!! Me and my boyfriend love watching your videos
Thanks so much for reaching out Nicole, hope you both are doing well 🙂
After all that time of no travel...glad to see you having a great time. Was in miami once but never made it to the keys...looks so beautiful..that seafood buffet was fabulous...great food and great price...can't wait to see where we go with you next 😂♥️♥️
Thank you so much for reaching out Pat! A few people talked me into visiting the Keys and so grateful to them...a very worthwhile trip😃
I've done that drive a number of times. The Keys are wonderful!
It really is a spectacular drive, isn't it...
😲😯 Tim you almost lost your hand ... 🙈 ... the snapper looks good .. I've never had that one before
It was actually quite a good deal at the buffet where they were serving blue crab and the whole snapper... Yeah, those tarpons were quite hungry 😆
I remember key lime pie in the Keys being much more tart than the generic kind. Love this type of content, Tim. God bless.
Thank you again Ginia! It certainly had a puckering effect 😉
My favorite road trip, so much to see and do or just lay on the beach
And so much to eat as well!
Gorgeous food...my eyes are stuffed....along with pleasant company. .. Cheers to you ..
Thank you once again for your very kind comment Laurie 😃
I love it here. About to move here. Great vlog.
Hey Sandy, great to hear.. I think you're moving to a really wonderful place!
@@TimLeeLetsGo thank you.
Looks like fun to be at the southernmost of USA ! Need to go on this trip to the Keys !
Hi Josephine, it's interesting because originally I haven't planned on going to the keys.. was just going to stay in Orlando... But thanks to some friends who strongly suggested to make a trip out to the keys, I did, and did not regret it at all. Hope you get a chance to visit as well,
Another great Buffet Tour especially $30 for Sea food !! Never seen so many different sea food choices and here you have chicken,sausage and prime ribs ! And pizza with sea food chowder !! Can't believe you got a whole fish snapper !!! You can't get a better price than this restaurant with so many sea food selection !
Love this, I have lived here in the Keys all my life and have been to Whale Harbor many times. I live in the middle Keys ( Marathon ) and definitely enjoy our seafood.
Hi Melissa, that would be such a wonderful place to live! I just wish I got a chance to go on a boat with the fisherman, but time was a limiting factor.. got to make a trip back again 😃
Everything looks so good. I have plans to go to K West . Everything looks so yummy, I would enjoy everything you had. Good job!
I hope you get a chance to go Martha 🙂 and definitely spend a little bit more time there.. for me, that one day was not enough and would have loved to go out on a boat on the excursions... You'll have so much fun and there's lots to eat as well, I saw they had a lobster festival there so you might want to time it accordingly if you like that
@@TimLeeLetsGo Thank you so much Tim.
So many places you missed! But thank you for taking me home again.
I think this merits another trip 😃
The desserts and seafood look good .
I got key lime pie from the grocery store .
I absolutely love whale harbor. This is a family must do when we go to the keys
I've heard it's been around for quite a while and it's really nice to see them always renovating and upkeeping the establishment!
Been watching Tim Lee off and on for some time now. Always such a pleasant personality on your adventures. Have you been to the Niagara falls area? Both the New York side and Canadian side? That would be a neat place to visit. Great episode!! Florida is a nice change of pace for you.
Thanks Arthur, I've been to Niagara Falls on the Canadian side, but have not visited the US side...yet :-)
Key West is one of the must see places in a lifetime. So much historical things to see also, besides the great food and Pina Coladas at Sloppy Joe's. Glad you enjoyed your trip Tim. 👍😀
Hi Maryann, really glad to have taken an excursion to the Keys... very enjoyable for sure 🙂
tim that was a great update ,that buffet looked very good and reasonably priced ,i agree the cracker barrel is fantastic ,they have great blueberry pancakes ,tim thank you for everything
Hi Frank, that was my first time at the cracker barrel and it was busy.. and I can see why. I must try the blueberry pancakes next time and thank you for the suggestion 😋
@@TimLeeLetsGo hi tim you are a very nice man and i love your channel .please get their bacon also with the blue berry pancakes
you are so nice and such a great host -- thanks for the travel videos!
Thank you so much for reaching out mike, it really is a pleasure and very grateful to get to share these experiences 🙂
