We had a delicious comforting meal here! Great diner like spot in the keys with yummy food. I got the key lime waffle and it was exactly what you'd expect and want in terms of key lime. My little guy devoured his pancake breakfast. The kids pancake was huge and came with bacon, his favorite. My husband got the slam and enjoyed it, especially the French toast. Our server was Lexy. She was so friendly and accommodating to our little one. He was so happy the entire meal, which doesn't always happen with a toddler. I'd recommend trying this spot next time you're in the Islamorada area. For a comforting meal, with a local vibe, it is a spot not to miss. read more

So good that we went back for day two. We were staying at Casa Morada and this place is easily within walking distance. My husband and I went for breakfast on both Saturday and Sunday of our trip. Both days the place was full and very busy, but we never waited more than five minutes because we sat at the counter, which was very comfortable. The staff were friendly and inviting and the service was excellent. They gave us time to peruse the menu and answered our questions. The first day I got the pancake combo with key lime pancakes. The pancakes were perfect, fluffy with crispy edges, but I would've liked a little bit more key lime sauce on top (I should have asked.) The whipped cream with the key lime sauce was a perfect combination. They brought out maple syrup, but I didn't use it. The second day my husband and I shared the French toast sampler and an omelette. The omelette was fluffy and well-filled with toppings. The French toast sampler allowed us to try a bunch of different flavors. We had the regular, cinnamon roll, blueberry, and apple cinnamon. We enjoyed all of them. The only "issue" we had was that my husband ordered the corn beef hash on the first day and did not end up eating it because he thought it was made in-house, but it was not and he really wanted it fresh. It's not necessarily a complaint. It's just something to note. Oh and I almost forgot that both days my husband got one of their fresh made cinnamon rolls from the case upfront. The first day it was an appetizer for him and the second day he took it home so we could enjoy it later. The atmosphere of the place is laid-back, keys vibe with lots of fishing and ocean related decor. They have a huge gift shop with a lot of art that you can walk through while you're waiting for your table. I would definitely go again if I'm back in the Florida Keys. read more

Overall, a decent dining experience! We were seated promptly, and the staff was friendly although very matter of fact haha! There was lots of seating available and the atmosphere is lively - definitely a great place to grab breakfast or brunch. The food was decent, but nothing exceptional. We ordered the Mangrove Special and the fish benedict with hogfish and it was decent. read more

We were lucky & got a table just in time! The crowd that came in behind us was...big. Service was good for how busy they were for sure. Coffee was great! 1 big complaint though...had a sausage egg & cheddar on a croissant. Beautiful croissant at least 6" wide...with 1(one, yes just 1) 2" in diameter sausage patty. The taste & quality of it was top shelf...but still...really...one little patty...for $15.00??? You didn't even kiss me first read more

Clean, fun environment with friendly service. Greeted warmly after entering and again by our server. Food was great. Had a homemade feel to it. You did not leave hungry. I got the breakfast tacos that came with 3 fairly big sized tacos filled with eggs, cheese and sausage. I was stuffed after two. My wife got the one egg with French toast which she enjoyed. Will definitely go back. read more

If you want a classic, delicious, slightly greasy, breakfast (maybe after a night out) - definitely head over to Mangrove Mike's! We love coming here for breakfast when we are in town. The food is always really good, the home fries are some of my favorite. You know it's good when all the local fishermen go there! Service is always great, friendly and attentive. The restaurant is not huge, which makes it more intimate and not as loud as other breakfast spots can sometimes be. Theme is fishing, which is very appropriate - and they are located right next to the Lobster Trap Art store, which is amazing! read more

We went 2 mornings for breakfast while we were on a 4 day vacation. The only reason we didn't go 4 days as we ate the leftovers the other 2 days. The place is busy but they know how to move a crowd but you don't feel rushed. We had the breakfast quesadilla, country fried steak, classic breakfast with the fabulous home fries and a classic breakfast with the pancakes. Everything was so good. It has the hometown diner feel. We look forward to our next visit. read more

Mangrove Mike's is a great place to enjoy breakfast when staying in Islamorada. We have eaten here at least one day each of the four times we have visited over the last 4 years. Get there early in the AM (before 10am) if you can because it can get quite busy. We arrived around 9 am and got seating at the counter right away one day and at a table for two the other day. read more

We are in aisle, Islamorada , Florida. Mangrove Mike's is right next-door to our hotel the Sunset Inn. We tried Mangrove Mike's years ago and just haven't gone back in there, but the smells that we were getting in the morning from their breakfast cooking we couldn't resist. We had a wonderful breakfast of a waffle with banana and walnuts. American fries with sautéed onion on top and eggs Benedict, the ham on the eggs Benedict couldn't have been thicker. The eggs were true poached eggs, perfectly cooked. The waffle was probably the best waffle I've ever had bonus that they offered sugar-free syrup as well as regular syrup. We were very happy with our breakfast. Our only issue was that the waitress was in a rush to get us in and out of there at least we felt that way. She came back three times asking if we were ready to order as we were reading the menu, we finally said when we put our menus to the side will be ready to order. Mangrove Mike's is truly a place for the locals to eat lots of police officers and the local fisherman were there enjoying their breakfast's as well. Plenty of parking with both indoors and outdoor seating. read more

Food was good service was ok waitress didn't know we were her table I guess took forever to take our order. But the food came out super hot and fresh. My wife had the shrimp Po boy shrimp were cooked perfect but had no seasoning the sandwich needs pickles and mustard it was kind of bland. I had the blackened mahi which was really good and even better when I added my wife's coleslaw to it. Coleslaw by itself was not bad very mayo heavy but on the fish it was amazing. read more

My beautiful wife decided on this place based on reviews & we are very glad she did! It's a local place with great vibes. Everyone on the staff was VERY friendly. We split a cinnamon roll that was a touch crusty on the outside but very tasty with a very nice cream cheese icing. She had the Super platter with eggs, bacon & pancakes ( which came with hot syrup). She found the scrambled eggs tasty with their own hot sauce , the bacon was delicious & the pancakes while huge & good were a little tough. I had the breakfast quesadilla that came with sour cream & pico de gallo sauce with scrambled eggs, ham & cheese which was in a word outstanding! I also got a side of hash browns which was a huge portion but cooked & seasoned well. Our waitress Diane was always friendly & on top of everything even though she had several tables. We can't recommend Mangrove Mikes highly enough! read more

Make sure you are ready to wait when you arrive as this place is popular. But it's worth it. It's got a nice vibe and the staff is really friendly. Of course, breakfast is on the menu. And on this particular day, I was feeling a need for some extra protein. And it just so happens they had a steak and eggs option on the menu. Exactly what I needed. And when it arrived, it was spot on. The steak was cooked properly and, as always, paired well with the eggs. Excellent start to the day! read more

Everything went well!!! We sat down and were greeted by Dillon who was very friendly and attentive. He answered some of my questions and returned with our drinks. The restaurant is great! The atmosphere is very homey and inviting. DH ordered the eggs Benedict and I had the Nutella waffle. Their prices were very reasonable and the food was delicious! We're coming back before we leave. The gift shop is at the front of the restaurant and they sell rash guards and shirts. The logo is extremely interesting if you look at the details! :) This was a great experience and we're so glad that we decided to stop here for breakfast! read more

Coming from California I had to have a good Keylime pie. I've had Keylime pie all over the country, but never in Florida. And so, I wanted to taste the real thing. Coming highly recommended we had to stop here to pick up a Keylime pie. I would've just been happy with a slice, but the giant pie beckoned us and we purchased it to bring home. We were not disappointed. This thing was huge and amazing and is nothing like any Keylime pie I've had before. This was the real thing, not artificial in any way. The somewhat untraditional meringue topping was delicious. It had a bit of a caramel toast to it, and despite being in the car for several hours, served up wonderfully. I would highly recommend this place if you're looking for a Keylime pie that will knock your socks off. read more

A hidden gem! Stopped in for a quick breakfast with a few friends and we were so stunned by how amazing our food and service was! Let's start with Service; the staff is extremely accommodating and they are working their butts off the entire time because this is a busy spot! We were never looking for the waitress or needing anything, she anticipated everything that we might need and they were so accommodating when people wanted to share meals. Now the food, the French toast sampler is a must try! Every single one of the flavors was delicious and we ate them and rated them after each flavor, the whole concept was just such a fun idea! The portions for all their meals are so big so it's very share friendly if you're someone who doesn't eat all that much and every single thing we tried was delicious! Price wise this is a steal or a spot! The food and everything was made so perfectly that you are definitely going to be spending your money well here! Ambiance, it is a smaller spot, but the vibe is very true to the Keyes diner vibe! Clean and authentic! 100% coming back can't wait to eat more French toast! read more

Mangrove Mike's - French toast sampler - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Islamorada, Florida

I have been coming to Mangrove Mikes for years on my trips to and from Islamorada. I have always had a pretty good experience. The food is usually great, and reasonably priced. However this visit was sadly pretty terrible. I got the Mangrove Oscar, a usual favorite of mine. The "poached" eggs too were completely hard boiled. When I brought it to the staff's attention, she looked at me like I was crazy for asking them to remake the dish with poached eggs. Instead of remaking the dish, the kitchen took off the hard boiled eggs, put on properly poached eggs, then drowned the plate in bearnaise sauce. Because the kitchen didn't remake the dish, the steamed spinach that was sitting on top of the english muffins turned them to mush. Pretty horrible texturally... but at least they poached the eggs right. ‍ The service was overall pretty terrible as well. The server didn't refill drinks and seemed to be more interested spending time in the back of the house, than attending to her tables. I gave it two out of five stars simply based on prior positive experiences. This visit should be given 0 stars if that was even possible. Please look at all my other reviews, i'm generally pretty positive and it takes quite a bit to earn a terrible review from me. read more

I was pleasantly surprised with the good food and great service here. The portions are large and generous. The omelette is not overcooked/dry as in most places, and generously stuffed with whatever you ordered. They have several healthy bowls. The vanilla Greek yogurt with granola and fresh fruits is wonderful. The amount and variety of fruits is plentiful: banana, strawberries, blackberries, and blueberries. And the prices are good. read more

So this is EXACTLY the kind of place you want to find on any trip anywhere in the country! Can't believe Guy Fieri hasn't been here! Cool vibe, beachy diner feel with great decor, pictures on the wall, a great sea themed skull logo and a huge menu! They've got everything you could want for breakfast and all the accompaniments including home made salsa, guac, sour cream, hot sauce, peanut butter, sugar free syrup. Everything you could need! We had an amazing server from Ohio, whose name I didn't catch like I should've, but a great lady and nice AND really good at her job and making conversation. The food was phenomenal! I had the breakfast tacos which were in what tasted like fresh small flour tortillas that were grilled into a taco shape and filled with eggs, meat and cheese and came with Salsa, Guac and Sour cream. They were awesome! The pancakes were gigantic and the hash browns were well cooked. The best part was that I had banana nut pancakes that weren't just regular pancakes with bananas on top like most places, but actually had bananas and nuts INSIDE the pancake, which was awesome! We also took a homemade cinnamon roll with us for the long drive! You get a ton of food, at a very fair price, with excellent service and good quality. One of my top five breakfast places we've tried! Make the stop! read more

Since this restaurant is next door to the hotel I am staying at, I should check it out. The service is on point. Didn't take much time between sitting and getting my first cup of coffee. A necessity of life. I am a bagel kind of person. They actually have two choices, Lox stacked on a bagel, or a lox plate. To me, on a plate where I have complete control is the way to go. You will get quite a spread of everything you want to enjoy. Just try it. Then it comes to the art work on the walls. Who ever did this is very talented. From the outside it looks plan Jan but really... check it out. read more

We we're traveling The Keys and upon returning to the mainland decided to stop by. The food was good and there were slot of choices.

Can I add more than 5 stars? I always loved Mangrove Mike's when I used to frequent the Keys, but I hadn't been since they got new management. It's JUST as good or even better than I remember. Absolute BEST cinnamon roll ever. The Everything but the Sink omelette is delicious and the eggs Benedict too. And the tator tots had the perfect crispy to soft ratio. Really, five stars and can't wait to go back! read more
