9 am on a Monday morning and it was packed. What can you say about a popular breakfast joint. Egg--fluffy Fried steak--- tender juicy, not over breaded. Pancakes pillowy soft with great key lime sauce on them. Dont sleep in. Wake up and get here for breakfast read more

Cute old diner... LOVED it! Lots of pictures on the wall of Mike and other fisher men & women. The key lime pancakes were delicious! And service was outstanding! We are full! read more

I wish I took a better pic but loved my breakfast! I sat at the counter and it took a while for someone to finally ask if i'd been helped. Service was good after that though. Great diner style breakfast. Couldn't believe how big the pancakes were. Would definitely return. read more

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

This eclectic badass spot is a well oiled machine run by a handful of fast paced women cranking out the heartiest tastiest breakfast platters! we always save this spot for the end of our trip to load up on hangover fuel-- the biscuits and gravy and huge omelets are fantastic. We ordered the Mexican omelette, eggs Benedict and a side of biscuits and gravy creamy goodness. read more

Great food, great GF options and super service. We ate here twice during a 3 day stay. Would return again.

Excellent food and service. You definitely get your monies worth. We go back regularly!!!

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

Mangrove Mike's - The pie if all pies! - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Islamorada, Florida

We walked in and everyone stared at us, I guess because a lot of locals eat there and we were visiting. My toast was hard (I was able to bang it on the table and it didn't break), my grits were halfway cooked. Some friends at the RV resort recommended Mangrove Mikes and they had high reviews so we tried it. I will never return. There was a very friendly lady who worked there but the food said do not return. We found the Green Turtle Inn to be the best breakfast in the Keys. read more

This place has a cool old-timey diner feel to it. Next time, we will sit at the counter, just for the fun of it! We had a nice server who provided great breakfast suggestions. The eggs were made expertly and tasted so good, and the pumpkin cream French toast was delicious. read more

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

Outstanding breakfast, fast service , and large servings. Highly recommend, will definitely be our go to for breakfast whenever we're in the area. 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

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

Love this dependable eatery. Food, coffee, service...all unsurpassed We travel from thr lower keys to hang out here read more

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

I tried to go to Fu__ing Bagel but they decided not to open up on time. I remembered Mangrove Mikes open early so I went there before my fishing trip. I ordered two scrambled eggs, bacon, grits, and toast. The eggs were perfect. I think there were six pieces of bacon. I loved the grits. Service was outstanding. Give this local place a try. read more

Amazing little town cafe! I knew this place was going to be good because first of all there was a wait, second there were giant homemade cinnamon rolls and cookies on display for purchase the second you walk in, and lastly it had a vintage vibe to the place. I got the tater tot tower and omg it was amazing! Have never had anything like it before! Be warned, it is a meal for about 3 people but I enjoyed every bite! Great staff, great food. Will definitely be back next time I come to town. read more

Good reviews! looking for a dine in breakfast in the AC with no mosquitos. This is the place with the giant shark on the outside. Great prices and service. Busy but service is prompt and food came out quick. Portions are huge! I should have asked about the gravy in my country scramble because I thought it came on the side or at best over the house potatoes but they drench it on the scrambled eggs with ham. It had a unique flavor that I wasn't ready for but it was good. The nice thing it was piping hot. I love hot food in a restaurant. Next time I'll Ask for it on the side or try another dish. The eggs Bennies looked good. This is definitely a great spot for breakfast. And they serve till 2pm. read more

When you're hungry, this is the place! Food is awesome...ask for Steph! She's always got a smile and is happy to serve you!

Have to be honest on my experience. Food had zero flavor. Price for 2 with 1 beer each was$75 dollars. My husband is a big guy that always finishes his food and loves hog fish but he could not even eat the $27 hog fish Benedict. It looked good, eggs were so over cooked and the fish was not breaded and had 0 seasoning. Again, just our experience, looks like many have enjoyed. read more

If you're visiting this beautiful area and are in need of a hearty breakfast or lunch meal that'll not only satisfy your hunger and taste buds, but also help you recover from a hang over (this is actually a menu item), and have you schedule an appointment with your cardiologist - this is the place! The staff is warm and friendly. The food - tasty. The ambiance - eclectic. Just a fun, small, and busy local spot where you're treated well and you'll leave gasping for air because the food tasted so good you didn't leave anything on your plate and now you're bloated and four pounds heavier; but the visit was worth it and you'll do it again tomorrow because you wanna to try the "Kitchen Sink Quesadilla", or the "Craig's Hangover Helper". Yes, tempt your caloric fate and visit again. I dare you. As you can tell I loved this place and will definitely visit again next time I'm "in the neighborhood". Keep doing you're thing Mangrove Mike. Oh! Did I mention the tater tots??!!! I didn't did I. They've got a tater tot tower menu item. No seriously they do... read more

Super fun place with good food and good service - we were there for the Swim for the Alligator Lighthouse race and this spot was just what the Dr ordered. A 4th person joined us late, just as our food was going to come out and the waiter handled it like a champ and didn't miss a beat. We had omelets and pancakes and it was very good. I can't wait to go back again. read more

Great diner with excellent food and reasonable prices. Stopped by here for breakfast on Monday and had a great breakfast. I had the country fried steak, my gf had the fried Brie sandwich and my daughter had the unicorn pancakes. We all really enjoyed our food. Service was good throughout.

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.

If you like big portions this is the place for you! With gluten free options MM (Mangroves Mike's) has plenty of breakfast options from yogurt and fruit to gigantic pancakes, hash, eggs, omelets and tater towers which is definitely shareable for 4! Coffee was excellent, hot and not bitter or too strong. The server we had was new and she did an awesome job for all the different options we threw at her. I did find the pancake a bit "tough" not as light and fluffy as I prefer. Nice people, nice place! read more

Stopped by at Mangrove Mike's Cafe for breakfast. Parking lot was limited. Upon arrival, we had to wait about m 20 minutes, but we were distracted with the little pirate museum. We were seated and we immediately ordered food. Service was great and fast. All plates were pretty good portioned size. I would return. read more

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

Classic diner style FL Keys breakfast. I've eaten at Mangrove Mike's several times. They have a massive menu with options for everyone. Savory or sweet, they have many of both. My favorite sweet item is the hot buns... they are a specialty that only limited number gets cooked per day, and when they run out, they're out, you can't get more. They are so delicious and worth every bite (even though its massive so I'd suggest sharing)! I love sitting at the little breakfast bar inside, makes it feel more diner-ish. And the atmosphere is very tropical, I love the aquatic paintings and the constant feed of scuba diving on TV. The breakfast meals you get aren't going to blow you away, its not fancy here. But everything is made well, large portions, and served with smiles. I usually get an omelet, with hash browns. Be prepared to wait if you arrive during prime breakfast hours. read more

First off my husband said biscuits and gravy with eggs over easy was good. I enjoyed my hash browns but my omelet was the worst I've ever had. The texture was just strange. Thin and paper like. It was hard to eat. Coffee was just so so. Probably won't go back. Staff was friendly enough. Prices too high for quality of food. Sorry read more

5-star in the diner breakfast, portion to cost, and service categories! Loved our server Kelly! Funny, friendly, and fast! Loved our crispy tots on the side and generous portions. Kitschy decor too! Fun buzzing atmosphere. Easy to get to between key largo and key west. Great breakfast! Great value! We got the eggs Benedict, tater tots, and a side of corned beef hash- all good! read more
