    We stopped in for dinner and got the amazing cornbread once again. We also ordered the hog fish, one with shrimp & crab and the other ala sid and both dishes were delicious and fresh tasting. When we come back to the area we'll come back here.

    We came for breakfast and it did not disappoint. Probably our favorite breakfast spot now. I got the shrimp and grits, my boyfriend got the steak and eggs both were so good and big portions. The best service from Mark and we will definitely be back.

    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.

    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.

    Roxie Omelet
    Aryana L.

    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!

    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.

    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!

    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 !!!!

    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!

    Food perfection, and service like this only available in the Florida Keys. Classic timeless traditional architecture.

    One of my fav places to stop! We always get the lasagna with meat sauce. Consistent over the years…read more Today we also tried the spinach salad with balsamic, fresh bacon, egg and onion. Sipped on key lime cider. No complaints! Portions are big enough to split or save for leftovers. We will be back next year!

    Bayside Gourmet is one of those hidden gems that's easy to miss but absolutely worth seeking out…read more The outdoor patio is beautifully shaded and comfortable, making it easy to forget you're just off the main road. Inside, there are a few arcade games, which are a nice bonus if you're dining with kids. When we're ready for a break from seafood, this is our favorite Italian restaurant in the Keys. The food has always been excellent. The Portobello mushroom appetizer is an absolute must-order--it's one of our favorite dishes anywhere in the Keys. The Veal Parmesan is another standout. It's everything you'd hope for in a classic Parmesan, and the veal has been perfectly cooked every time we've ordered it. One convenient perk is that they'll deliver directly to your room at Hadley House across the street, making it a great option if you don't feel like going back out for dinner. A couple things to know before you go: they serve beer and wine but no liquor or cocktails, and dinner entrées aren't available until after 5:00 p.m. Unfortunately, our most recent visit was disappointing because of the service. We requested to sit outside, but before we were even seated, the waitress repeatedly tried to discourage us, first saying it was too hot and then insisting we needed to move inside because it had started raining. At the time, it was only a very light sprinkle. She began clearing items from the outdoor tables and rushed another couple who had been happily dining outside, removing the salt and pepper from their table and making them feel so hurried that the gentleman spilled his beer while trying to get up. The entire interaction felt uncomfortable and unwelcoming, and we ultimately decided to leave without ordering. Despite that experience, the quality of the food has consistently been outstanding over the years. We're hoping our last visit was simply an off day because it's a restaurant we've genuinely enjoyed and recommended many times.
