    I'm loving Green Turtle Inn for breakfast. A real Florida Keys icon, their food is fabulous. As you walk in for bfast you smell the waffles (heavenly) and see happy faces from the staff to the patrons. I love their breakfast burrito. Today we ordered the skillet cornbread w maple butter. It's was delicious!

    Great food and great service a must stop place to eat breakfast or lunch! We ordered Roxy's omelette and the shrimp and grits for breakfast! Very, very delicious! Will definitely be back once we're in the area again. They offer seating for large parties indoors and also have a full service wraparound bar.

    We started with the mussels and boy were they succulent!

    We came this evening to celebrate our Anniversary and I am so glad we did. We have dined here before my husband and I renewed our wedding vows 15 years ago and we had the reception here. I had the sirloin dinner tonight and it was done perfectly. Served with demi glaze and mashed potatoes with assorted vegetables and they were also cooked nicely. My hubs had the Surf and Turf and his filet was cooked to order with bernaise sauce and they char the lobster in the shell and he said it was the best he ever had and worth every penny. Our server was very nice and polite. The dining room is quaint with a dark wood bar and it's atmosphere is varied with a mix of locals and tourists. I don't know if you know the history of Sid and Roxies Green Turtle Inn but it's very interesting and has stood the tests of time not to mention hurricanes. If you ever find yourself in Isle Morada on Highway 1 stop in for breakfast lunch or dinner, you won't be disappointed.

    Roxie Omelet

    Had a great meal at Green Turtle Inn! I ordered the Roxie omelet loaded with blue crab, and it was absolutely delicious--fresh, flavorful, and generously topped. The service was friendly and attentive, and the coffee was excellent as well. Overall, a wonderful dining experience, and I would definitely come back!

    Turtle soup.... Amazing.
    Joe S.

    Was driving to Fort Lauderdale from Key West and remembered seeing this restaurant mentioned in Guy Fieri's DDD show. The Turtle Soup was delicious and they give you a pepper sauce that adds to the flavor. The meatloaf wrapped in bacon was his recommendation and it did not disappoint. The waitress was so nice and food was brought out quickly. The memorabilia on the walls and the decor is inviting and warm. This is going to be one of my regular stops heading into the keys.

    I've never experienced anything like this. As the restaurant was nearing closing, instead of a polite last call or a courteous heads-up, a random man was brought in and loudly asked when the restaurant closed so that our table could "get the hint." It was obvious, awkward, and incredibly disrespectful. The situation became unacceptable when the elderly women I was with, who were seeing each other for the first time in a long time, explained why they were lingering. The same man responded by saying, "If you haven't seen each other in a long time, then go to another bar." That level of rudeness is stunning. There is no excuse for speaking to guests that way, especially elderly guests who were doing nothing wrong. We left feeling embarrassed and unwelcome. Closing time does not justify cruelty or poor hospitality. This experience ensured we will never return, and I would strongly caution others. Also, the overpriced food was mediocre at best.

    The shrimp and grits were fantastic. My daughter got the blueberry pancakes and she said they were great.we got service with a smile. And ambiance is a small mom and pop diner experience. We will be back. Awesome place highly recommend !!!!

    BELT sandwich with GF toast!
    J'aime M.

    I was very happy to order the egg sandwich with GF bread! It was messy but delicious. The Bloody Mary was pretty good but I am not a fan of cucumber vodka which seems to be popular in the keys. The waiter had my drink remade when my request for regular vodka was initially overlooked.

    Meat loaf
    Christina T.

    Let me put you all on. Easily one of the best restaurants in the keys. Not only did they accommodate a big group on relatively short notice, but the food was amazing. Starting with the skillet cornbread, which I definitely recommend everyone should try and if you have a bigger group, definitely get two for the table not because it wasn't enough but because you're definitely going to to want to go for seconds. We had been in those keys for about a week at this point and we had gone to a few different restaurants. Everyone agreed that this was easily the best shrimp scampi they had ever tried. Well, I can't have shellfish. I did order the meatloaf and I don't think I would ever say this, but it was the best meatloaf I have ever had. This is a must stop and must try in the keys next time you're there.

    Meatloaf!! Yummy!
    Lori N.

    The food was great! The service was excellent! I lived the music they were playing... I will return!

    Shrimp & Grits
    Rachel R.

    My husband and I came here for breakfast after he told me that he had been there the day before with a couple friends and someone ordered the shrimp & grits and he tasted it... and we HAD to come get some. So... we did, and MAN! I never order shrimp & grits, but these were THE BEST shrimp & grits I have ever had. The grits were nice and solid, the sauce it was sitting in, the sausage was delicious... it was just perfect! Beside that, we were able to walk right in and get a table. Our server was very attentive and everything came out in a reasonable time. The restaurant was clean. We were pretty easy and just ordered 2 shrimp & grits, and a sweet iced tea (that was never empty) so all in all - it was a very good breakfast and we enjoyed it very much!

    Broiled Scallops
    M T.

    This was our first time eating here during all of our trips and this place was worth it. We ordered the mussels, cornbread, scallops, meatloaf and the lava cake. All the food tasted great and fresh. As far as the cornbread, that was probably the best thing we ate down here during this trip. It was amazing with the maple pecan butter, which is addicting. Do yourself a favor and get the lava cake. The service was also good and friendly. When we go back to the area, this will be one of the spots we return to.

    Some of the inedible meat left over

    Got the 19$ 2 meat combo platter for takeout, outside menu showed the options as chicken, pulled pork, and brisket. Coming inside, they told me they don't serve brisket anymore and that it was just the pork and chicken. When the food arrived the pulled pork was cold, dry, and tasted spoiled. Sides tasted alright but could have done with a little more.

    fernando was amazing, he made the vibes great. we love him! next time we come back we hope he is…read morehere !

    I got sooo many recommendations to go here, I had to with my wife for our 24th Wedding Anniversary…read more I'm giving this place 5 stars overall even though I had 1 major disappointment-the miserable young woman hostess who made us feel like we were bothering her by wanting to go into the restaurant. No smile, No congeniality, Little eye contact, Did Not listen and I had to repeat myself. The reception we received would have made us turn around and go somewhere else, if I hadn't had so many recommendations. OK, now the reasons why I have given them 5 stars. We were quoted a 45 minute wait (about 7:30pm on Tuesday night) but luckily some bar stools opened up AS SOON as we walked in and so we sat at the bar (they offered their full menu), and Fernando, who was EXTREMELY busy, greeted us with a smile and very pleasant demeanor. He prepared our drinks, which were delicious. Right next to him and working the 'Service Bar' was the Manager on Duty: Lauren. She was very pleasant and engaged with us whenever she had the opportunity. She even helped us with menu suggestions, unfortunately, we spoke about one of their nightly specials, the Shrimp Piccata with Gnocchi, but they were sold out when we tried to order it with Fern. So we had a great experience at the bar, and here's the food review; -Fried Whole Yellowtail. Delicious! Presented like a picture and cooked perfectly! Loved the sauce, Pico, Jasmine Rice & Fried tostones. -Citrus/Beet Salad with Whipped Goat Cheese, Quinoa, Nuts, Arugula tossed in a light vinaigrette. All I can say: "Empty Plate Club"...DELICIOUS!! -Now the BEST plate: PEI Mussels. THIS WAS THE BEST PREPARATION OF MUSSELS-I HAVE EVER HAD! The mussels were fresh but the sauce was a "Mic Drop"!!! I split the mussel shell in half, and scooped the mussel shell into the AMAZING sauce and ate it like I was slurping a fresh oyster! After the mussels were finished I ate the rest of the sauce WITH A FORK!!! The sauce was delicious, thick, with garlic and hot spice. I attacked the plate and forgot to take a picture...sorry! We ended our meal with a tasty piece of delicious Key Lime Pie. GREAT EXPERIENCE AND RECOMMEND AND WILL COME BACK!!! Lauren, great job, the place ran clean, efficient and professional!
