    First time here
    Shannon D.

    Florida Keys Cafe is one of those spots that instantly makes you feel welcome the moment you walk in. The environment is warm, relaxed, and inviting--perfectly capturing that laid-back Keys vibe while still feeling cozy and comfortable. The food is incredibly tasteful, fresh, and well-prepared, with every dish hitting the mark without being overdone. You can tell care goes into both the flavors and the presentation. The location is ideal, making it a great stop whether you're a local or just passing through the Keys. What really elevated the experience, though, was the service--Shannon was absolutely fantastic. Friendly, attentive, and genuinely kind, she made us feel right at home and added that personal touch that keeps you coming back. Highly recommend Florida Keys Cafe for great food, great service, and an all-around feel-good experience. Here's the breakdown Food 5/5 Service 5/5 Ambience 5/5 Price 5/5 The foodie ninja shall return.

    Pretty much a dive. Waitress was nice and friendly. Gravy biscuits were so-so. Too much flour and way too thick. French toast was OK. Omelette was pretty good...fresh ingredients. They have Pepsis not Coke products.

    Service was excellent! We loved our Gut Buster breakfast, so delicious and filling. Our waitress, Shanon, was very sweet and helpful . Lisa, another waitress, also made us laugh, which made the experience even better. We took our dog Odie and they were very welcoming towards him.Overall, the place felt very comforting and welcoming. We'll definitely be back!

    Parking is a bit of a challenge as this is a small restaurant. The decor and general vibe is like a house converted to a restaurant which gave it a "homey" feel. They have a large counter top as well so if you want a quick bite it is the perfect place to sit! The service is slow and forgetful, but the sandwich made it worth it! My husband got the country fried steak. It was a frozen patty with canned gravy so a bit disappointing, but not the worst he has ever had.

    We are from Southern NJ and vacation in Marathon between Christmas and New Years. For about a decade we have always made sure we visit Florida Keys Cafe at least once during our stay. In fact, in our group, we refer to it as "the sausage gravy place." The food is terrific! The service is always friendly and fast and the wait staff are always attentive to our needs. I appreciate that the food comes out hot and tasty. There is a wide variety of choices on the menu, including some specialized breakfast combinations that will leave the hungriest patron full and satisfied. When you walk in and take your seat, you feel very at-home in the laid-back environment. The place is small, but not cramped. There are tables, booths, and seats available at the counter. It's nice to sit and enjoy a meal amidst the hustle and bustle of other patrons who are eating and talking and enjoying life. I am glad for the friendly banter I engage in with the servers. They are not so serious that they can't enjoy a laugh now and again. In conclusion: yes, I recommend eating at Florida Keys Cafe. The variety of food can please even the pickiest of eaters. The food comes out cooked to order, hot, and delicious. The wait staff are friendly and the service is prompt. Thank you, Florida Keys Cafe, for always serving up just what we're looking for when we're in town!

    Service was fast. Coffee was good. There were plenty of options off the menu and place seems kid friendly.

    My wife and Lisa, our server, who's been here for over 35 years

    Lisa is awesome! Makes you feel right at home and welcome from the moment you enter. The food was amazing and delicious, and it came out so fast! The place was packed, but we still got seated right away. Lovely little mom and pop cafe, highly recommended!

    A great place to stop at going to or leaving Key West. Only my husband ate, I had breakfast in my room hours earlier. He had the breakfast burrito with home fry potatoes and could not quite finish it all. Service was efficient and pleasant. Bathrooms are outside which was a surprise.

This was it! We walked in and were greeted right away while the delicious aroma hit right as you opened the door. They have a lunch special which is two slices of pizza and a drink. That's what we got. You just pick your slices and then they warm them up. The crust is perfectly crispy. The toppings are plentiful and the flavor is great and different on each variety. Loved the various crust options and sauce flavors. This is definitely a great stop. Wish we would have found it sooner bc I would have been back more than once. We also ordered the cannolis. Chocolate chip was the flavor they had. When I saw him grab a bag and a box from the fridge I wasn't expecting much from them but I was wrong, they were delicious! It's a small shop with a quaint little dine in area but it's big on flavor and personality.

But, for my wife who is Gluten Free, they scored big points by going above and beyond. She ordered a dish that had plantains, and was disappointed to hear the plantains weren't gluten free. She has been GF for years, and has become accustomed to being disappointed with what she can't have. Imagine her delight (joy!) when they brought over plantains prepared GF - just for her!!! That made her so happy - service like that isn't common these days. VERY well done, Caroline's !!!! And thank you!!!

Right after I sat down a waiter came around the corner, almost tripped over my chair, which startled me. Not to mention there was a huge tray of food in his hand that almost fell on me, so again I was startled! It was totally fine though, accidents happen!!! Instead of acting professional and apologizing/laughing it off, the waiter throws our utensils on the table and runs away. Then 5 min later we get a new waiter who seemed annoyed with us because his coworker accidentally tripped on my chair???? What bothered us was how short our waiter was with us, yet so kind to all the other tables around us. We ate quickly and left but our original plan was to stay a bit longer and order drinks with dinner... Weird and unprofessional!

Then, we were served by John, the owner and master of the house! From the daily specials and thoughtful drink options to the first bite--a crostini topped with farmer's cheese and herbs--we knew we were in for something special. The Shrimp & Mango Toast appetizer was honestly one of the best things I've ever eaten. The ingredients didn't necessarily make sense on paper, but together? AMAZING. We could have eaten another order! Both couples ordered the grilled Caesar salad, to share and it was perfectly portioned. The grilled romaine had a wonderful sweetness, topped with crispy Parmesan and a dressing with the perfect lemon-to-anchovy balance. WOW! For entrées, our table tried the bacon-wrapped ricotta-stuffed chicken, signature Yellowtail Snapper, Beef Stroganoff, and Key West Pink Shrimp with chili glaze over creamy risotto. We cleaned our plates and LOVED every bite. I rarely order dessert, but after a meal this good, we had to try their award-winning Key Lime Pie. It was truly the best I've ever had. I don't need to try another! And lastly--use the restroom! The retro ambiance and fabulous décor are part of the experience. Fantastic food, wonderful service, and a memorable Key West evening.

The service was absolutely fantastic, and the staff's personality made the entire experience even better. Truly, some of the best service we've experienced in the Keys. A few must-tries: Start with the wine flight -- definitely a must! First course: deviled eggs and scallops -- both fantastic. Second course: seared Caesar salad -- definitely worth trying. Beef stroganoff -- absolutely a must-get! Finish with the lavender cheesecake -- the perfect ending. Every dish was beautifully presented, and the food was just as impressive as it looked. From the atmosphere to the food, service, and incredible staff, this place truly stands out. A hidden gem in the Keys that you definitely need to experience!
