    French Toast Sampler
    Cynthia L.

    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.

    Cute diner in islamorada, lots of options and original breakfast items. Definitely try the biscuits and gravy! We are on a key lime pie taste test tour and this one is for sure up there for local pies. Great pastry case as well. Also a good spot to grab souvenirs. This place for sure delivers the old Florida keys vibe.

    We made a quick stop for some breakfast and the spot is really good. The moment you walk in we were greeted and quickly brought to our table. Our server was very attentive and very sweet. The food was delicious and came out quickly. I did notice that the dishes other people ordered had big portions so keep that in mind when you order. The ambiance is total island life living! Oh the bathroom has a nice sugar scrub to wash your hands! I'm obsessed!

    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.

    This place is amazing. Super casual and a perfect spot for a good breakfast before hitting the water on the boat. The food is delicious and reminds me of something my grandmother would whip up for the family before river days. Service is great and super friendly. We love this place. Also a great spot for lobster trap art if you're into that.

    Delicious breakfast and brunch options in Islamorada, FL. Lots of impressive fishing photos throughout the sitting areas showcasing Mike's success as a skilled fisherman. Service was very pleasant despite the large crowd waiting to be seated. Use this time to walk around their gift shop and pick up some fun souvenirs. Food took a little while to come out, so enjoy your coffee or a mimosa.

    Hogfish Benedict
    Mia B.

    The Benedict was delicious and server was sweet. There was a wait but worth it. Restaurant was super cute.

    Breakfast tacos with eggs, sausage and cheese.  Very filling
    Alex T.

    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.

    We always enjoy this local breakfast joint. The service is always good and the food always comes hot. Ambiance eclectic with local fishing items. It's the local place to go

    Breakfast
    Tina C.

    Huge menu with breakfast and lunch options. Fresh and flavorful food. Great customer service. Small t shirt selection and the restaurant opens up into another store you can browse while you wait for your food. Would def give this place a go.

    I was looking for a place with breakfast that was open early and had good food ! And this was the spot ... service was super efficient and fast . We got greeted and seated in a short period of time . And the food was as so good , I got the salmon with eggs Benedict's and it was delicious, fresh salmon full of flavor! Definitely a cute location , with a sea theme that is great for visitor and welcoming vibes !

    Classic 2 eggs, home fries and bacon
    Rachel R.

    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!

    Glitter beer!

    Amazing!!! Steph (my server) was awesome! It's a perfect spot for breakfast and lunch. Great food. Great atmosphere! Great service! Great nostalgia! .... And wait for it....a glittery beer!!!!

    Stopped in with our family when on vacation. We had read the rave reviews, seen the restaurant…read morefeatured on triple D, and read the "Best Burger in Florida." The place is small and we sat at the bar. It's a cool, dive bar vibe with memorabilia on the wall. There were only a handful of others there, but the service was slow, especially considering it wasn't very crowded. It seems like the waitress was distracted and forgot about us. Eventually, we were taken care of. We all got one of their sodas and thought h they tasted good. We tried to order their award-winning fish dip, listed on the specials board, but the waitress said they were out of chips. Ok, fine -- we said "forget it" and moved onto the main course. We all ordered some variation of the Fancy Nancy, their namesake burger. It was a good burger but not the best in Florida. Not even close. The fries were frozen and nothing to write home about. Others in our party ordered the "award-winning" potato salad, which tasted pretty good. As an aside, I ordered my burger medium well, and it was cooked as desired. Everyone else ordered their burger medium and two were very pink, more like medium rare or rare. It seems like most of their awards and accolades were earned pre-COVID. We wanted to like this local spot but I have to imagine it's not what it once was.

This is one of those spots that immediately tells you it's a local favorite the second you walk in. It feels homey, lived in, and deeply rooted in the community. The average crowd definitely skews older, which honestly just shows how loyal the regulars are and how long this place has been doing something right. We stood for a minute or two when we arrived, which wasn't a problem at all, but the initial interaction felt a little abrupt. Nothing hostile, just very direct and urgent. We later found out that Cathy is the owner, and it became clear very quickly that this place is her whole world. She works hard, moves fast, and runs on urgency. That energy can sometimes come off sharp, especially to visitors who aren't used to that local, no frills style, but we gave her the benefit of the doubt. There were moments throughout our visit where the tone felt a little rough around the edges, and it wasn't just with us, we noticed it with other tables too. It didn't feel personal, more like someone who is stretched thin and running on fumes. To her credit, there were moments where she self corrected, and I genuinely believe this was just a long day rather than bad intentions. Running a place like this day in and day out is not easy, and you can feel how much effort goes into keeping it moving. This review isn't meant to tear anyone down, just to be honest for future guests so they know what to expect walking in. What truly changed our entire experience and pushed this from a four star visit to a solid five was our server. Her name started with a T, she wore glasses, and she was African American, and she was an absolute blessing. She treated us with warmth, patience, and genuine care, like we were family she was looking out for. When we sat down and the table needed to be wiped, she handled it gracefully without a single awkward moment. Everything she did felt intentional and kind. She was attentive without hovering, respectful, and genuinely happy to be doing her job. There was also a sweet older Latina woman clearing tables who was just as lovely and welcoming. It became very clear that despite the different personalities, this place functions as a team, and the heart of High Tide lives in the people who treat guests with care and humanity. If you get that server whose name starts with a T, you are in excellent hands. Now let's talk about the food, because this is where High Tide really shines. The hash brown casserole is a straight ten out of ten. No exaggeration. Comfort food perfection. Crispy, savory, and absolutely worth ordering. The country style platter we ordered was also a ten according to my friend, hearty and satisfying in the best way. The lobster benedict was good, I would give it about an eight. It's a fun, unique option if you want to try something different, but not the standout compared to the rest of the menu. And then there's the real star of the show, the Key lime pie. Even if you are not hungry, come for the pie. This is hands down the best Key lime pie I have ever had. Perfectly balanced, not overly tart, smooth and almost cheesecake like in texture. It's the kind of dessert that makes you pause after the first bite because it's that good. Beautifully presented too. The decor is charming and thoughtfully cluttered in a way that feels authentic, not staged. The bathrooms are old but very clean. Parking is a little quirky but manageable, and there is parking available if you're patient. Overall, the vibe is cozy, memorable, and unmistakably local. Would I come back? Absolutely, especially for the food and that pie. Cathy, you are clearly working your ass off, and I hope this was just a rough day. This review comes with honesty and flowers, not shade. Five stars for the food, the heart, and the people who make this place what it is. I do recommend it.
