    Fried Lobster and Cold Grits
    Vicki A.

    Unsure if it's the owner or manager, but the lady is charge ruins the entire experience. I listened to her berate one table then talk to another table about things for them to do in Key Largo. Even though she was helping them, she just seemed to be yelling at them. The Great: Key Lime Pie- best found The Good - ... The Bad - Cold Grits on both of our plates The Ugly - The lady in charge My party would like to go back for the Key Lime Pie. I wouldn't give this establishment 1 more penny.

    I have found my breakfast spot in High Tide! Their breakfast offerings are extensive! They have daily omelet specials. They various benedikts. They have to-die-for freshly baked, gigantic, muffins. They have corned beef hash. They have country fried steak smothered in gravy. I almost forgot they have pancakes & waffles! You can get a coffee or iced tea refill to take along. I definitely never leave here hungry! Service is attentive, friendly and super efficient. Everyone likes chatting it up, regardless if you are local or just visiting. The restaurant is small inside. I nearly always sit at the counter when I am solo. They have a couple tables outside to accommodate those who smoke or who have dogs. There is plenty of paved parking in front and an additional gravel lot in the back. My highest recommendation for a great breakfast!

    I am giving 4 well meant stars. The staff was nice and attentive. The food we had was good and in an acceptable price range. Unfortunately they do not have vegetarian dishes, so we had to go for french fries and a salad. French fries were delicious and the salad gravy was also very tasty. The blue cheese burger was more like okish. Would I come again. If there will be vegetarian dishes in the future, probably yes.

    We stopped in on the way to Key West. Place has a nice vibe. Most of the staff were friendly. Our party came to the conclusion that our waitress was new. She wasn't as friendly as the other waitresses who stoped by and made many errors when taking our orders. My husband really enjoyed his lobster sandwich. The couple I was with enjoyed their food, especially the biscuits, but said their grits were cold and lacked flavor. I ordered a medium rare steak and over medium eggs. The steak came out well and eggs scrambled. Try 2 with the eggs were better, but still had runny white. I sent the steak back, and chose not to try it again. We believe our waitress didn't communicate what took place well to the manager (I'm assuming that was who came to our table afterwards). I'm saying that because the manager was aggressive and almost confrontational when she came to the table. She was escalating and seemed like she was ready for a fight when all I was doing was changing my order to two eggs. She was speaking very loudly and I felt like making a scene. It was very uncomfortable. She did take the steak off the ticket and was friendly afterwards. We indulged in the key lime pie, and we've tried many key lime pies, and I would say that it was close to being the best we've had. It was very tart and you knew eating it , that it was homemade. It's unfortunate that the previous hostile interaction left us all wondering what the heck just happened here.

    Chef's Omelett & Hashbrown casserole, served with a grilled biscuit

    It was cold this morning - Florida cold, not Maine cold but we weren't ready so decided to go out for breakfast. I had seen High Tide a couple of times, and decided to give it a shot. It was soooo good. I know anyone who follows me will be surprised that I ordered the traditional eggs Benedict; and other than a bit too much hollandaise it was perfect - eggs done just right, ham was the right thickness and the English muffin was grilled. The home fries with onions were done perfectly - some of them came home for breakfast tomorrow. Wayne opted for the Chef's Omelette and the hash brown cheese casserole. They were both super decadent as was the grilled biscuit. The Chef's Omelette was full of chorizo, cheese, onion, peppers, mushrooms, kind of a kitchen sink. The casserole was an up charge but well worth it. Coffee was almost medicinal - it was so good and so necessary! Would love to go back and try the Key Lime pie. Our server was quick, awesome. The place felt like eating at home - but we didn't have to do the work....

    Veggie skillet and fiesta skillet
    Kathy T.

    Came here because of reviews and skillets! My fave breakfast! I was not disappointed with my veggie subbed with cheddar instead of American cheese. Loads of veggies! Husband's fiesta had a lot of chorizo. And you get biscuits on the side. We sat outside in back to avoid traffic noise. Very enjoyable brunch!

    Exceptional place. We went after church one Sunday morning and it was already pretty full but we managed to get seating right away. FOOD: Delicious and big portions. I got an omelette with lobster and a hollandaise sauce with roasted potato chunks and onions and it was very delicious. I was impressed by the omelette because it wasn't just sporadic chunks of lobster, no, it was almost evenly distributed. I had lobster in every bite. My husband finished his food while I was halfway through mine. I've never seen him eat his food so fast. He said it was delicious. He had café con leche and although I didn't drink any, it looked so calming and the aroma was deliciously pleasant. I had this biscuits that were soft and fluffy, I've never experience that before. They had 4 different types of jam and I chose one that I've never seen before and that was apple flavored jam. It's safe to say that I got my unrecommended daily dose of sugar. Good stuff. My only complaint is that they don't have freshly squeezed orange juice, only from containers but everything else was so incredible that I'll let it pass. DECOR: It's the Keys so nothing is beautiful indoors only the outdoors lol. My husband said it had a diners vibe but I'm not too sure. It was nice though, nothing tacky, nothing rusted. They had a table outdoors next to a garbage can with a tent over it but that seem like an afterthought that was only done for people with dogs. And when we drove up there was a couple with a dog there. It was kinda isolated so I don't the attention and service would be great there, but if you have a dog and want to get a great meal then that's a great option. SERVICE: Service was good, there's definitely a sense of urgency which is very important to me. CONCLUSION: Definitely go here. Great food and portions were large. You'll leave here very satisfied. My husband that's from Chicago and avoids the sun and heat, really enjoyed the whole experience. He now says that this is his new identity! Thank you High Tide for doing what I couldn't! Lol

We also got the key lime pie with a little meringue on top. It had that same kick from the key lime but it was really good and surprisingly light. I got full pretty quick, but that seems to be a pattern on this trip. Neither of us are key lime pie people. We like it fine but we don't go out of our way for it. Since we were here though, when in Rome do as the Romans do, so we figured we'd give it a shot. It reminded us of that episode of Dexter where he's helping a friend who is dying and she wants to find the best key lime pie. That was kind of the energy we had going into it, just looking for the experience. I also picked up some white chocolate covered cherries but we haven't gotten to those yet. We'll report back on those. Overall it was pretty good for what it is. If you're a key lime fan I think you'll really enjoy it. For people like us who take it or leave it, it was still a solid choice and I'm glad we tried it. My wife felt the same way.

    This place was just ok. The ice cream is made in front of you, with nitrogen, which is kinda cool…read morebut the service is very lackluster and I felt like a burden to the person making the ice cream. They barely said two words to me, never smiled or talked to me, and had earbuds in one ear so I don't know if they could really even hear me. This is not scooped ice cream, it is cream frozen with nitrogren and then toppings added. It was not cheap. I paid over 7.00 for a small dish of ice cream (with preset toppings - key lime cheesecake). The ice cream and toppings were decent but nothing to write home to mom about. I get that most minimum wage workers aren't going to be super happy but maybe pay your employees a little more to retain them and set expectations to deliver a good customer service experience. Most people don't need their arse kissed but hope for a pleasant exchange while paying for their food. Reading the reviews here, it seems like terrible service from employees is an on going issue. Easy parking, decently clean restaurant.
