This morning I woke up with a yearning for breakfast biscuits and so I headed out with my trusty…read moreiPad to a local diner. As always, to a place I haven't tried yet. In this case, the Key West Diner in Stuart, FL. I originally wanted a simple breakfast of those biscuits that were calling me. I figured I'd accompany my biscuits with an order of scrambled eggs and my usual tea latte. As you would expect by its name, Key West Diner has a nice Key West design and a really nice outdoor dining patio. Inside offered booth and table seating. One suggestion would be for the diner to play Island/boating type music instead of the standard pop channel they had on. This would add to the key West feel. Having said that, let's move on to the dining experience. I don't usually go over what a restaurant offers on their menu since I assume if you're reading this review you are on their site. Suffice to say, their menu is the typical diner menu. Looking over the menu of course I noticed they had no biscuits! So much for satisfying my biscuit yearning. At least they had a Taylor Ham and egg on a hard roll. A breakfast I will always happily choose. So, my biscuit breakfast would have to wait for another day. Next I ordered my Latte tea. You guessed it, no steamed milk. One final request topped it all... the WiFi password. Yep, no WiFi! This is clearly not a killer if you're dining with someone but, it's definitely a negative for anyone dining alone. I haven't seen many places that don't offer WiFi but Key West Diner is obviously one of them. To me, when dining alone, reading on my iPad brings back memories of reading the morning paper while eating breakfast. Or in this case, forcing me to post a review AFTER I leave the location. Enough about what this diner doesn't have, let's move on to what they do offer. First, the service; I was seated quickly by a host and my server arrived soon thereafter. She served me with a smile and brought everything I asked for correctly and efficiently. She did a really nice job of being there when I needed her but not constantly pestering me during my meal. Well done. Now my meal; My Taylor Ham featured two eggs and two thick slices of Taylor Ham. The eggs were made perfectly as requested (Overeasy) and lo and behold, the sandwich was on a Kaiser roll! It's not often you get a Taylor Ham and egg on a Kaiser roll (the correct way to make it) but that's what we had here. Unfortunately, although the Taylor Ham and eggs were spot on,, the roll did not live up to expectations. Sadly it was not crispy on the outside and had more of a white bread consistency. Too bad because I really did appreciate the attempt. My tea was fine (considering the lack of steamed milk) Bottom line; The key I always ask of any place I visit... would I come back? In Key West Diners case, more than likely, no. Not because it's bad, simply because it's nothing special AND it doesn't offer WiFi.

Chatting every where and waitresses calling customers by name and inquiring how they were. The menu is diverse so that everyone can choose what they want. I chose the guiro egg omelette with tomatoes. The tomatoes were cut beautifully and skimpy. They were red and juicy. The omelette was a nice size but a bit dry. Tzatziki would have been nice. The coffee was very nice as I had 4 cups and a large glass of water. No one rushed me as I engaged myself in reading a book. Truly a pleasure and comfortable environment to have breakfast.

Every item was cooked properly, though I suspect the avocados were refrigerated. The interior was kitschy beach decor with a cozy vibe. However, I felt like they missed the opportunity to do a full bird-themed restaurant. They could've at least used beach birds for their logo design instead of going two directions with their decor. I appreciated catching pieces of conversation from the locals meeting up at other tables around me. The casual and friendly server immediately put me at ease.

The service is good and definitely the highlight of the experience -- the waitresses are friendly and attentive. The food, honestly, is mediocre. It's a typical American spot: portions are large, but I've had much better food elsewhere. The pancakes are fluffy but soggy; the fries were hard, some even undercooked. The bacon is, without exaggeration, the saltiest I've ever had. On top of that, it's expensive. Usually, in places like this, breakfast includes a drink (coffee), and here it doesn't. You end up paying around $20-23 per person just for breakfast, which I find outrageous.
