    Country fried steak, eggs, home fries.
    Adam A.

    Great all day breakfast diner in Islamorada. Easy walk from the big resorts like Cheeca and Islander. Big menu with lots of options including tons of pancake and waffle options. Country fried steak was ok - little tough and the gravy tasted burned but I liked the eggs and home fries that came with. Lots of tables and bar seating too. Their home made hot sauce was really good too.

    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.

    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.

    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!

    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.

    Breakfast choices are immense. We ordered the French toast with berries, hashed browns and sausage gravy. Portions are giant and shareable. Food was absolutely delicious. Very happy we stumbled in this place on our way down to KW. A must stop

    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.

    The food and the atmosphere were so inviting! Stephanie was very sweet and helpful. The key lime donut was fantastic and the French toast was phenomenal! Came for breakfast and the lunch menu looks just as good.

    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

The sausage gravy was some of the best I've had, rich, hearty, and loaded with flavorful sausage.

This was our third time giving this restaurant a chance, and unfortunately, nothing has changed. We were seated, received our coffee right away, and then no one checked on us for about 25 minutes, even though the restaurant wasn't busy. What made the experience even more disappointing was watching every other table receive attentive service, water, and condiments without asking. We were the only Hispanic guests, and the difference in treatment was hard to ignore. Whether intentional or not, it left us feeling unwelcome. From the hostess to the servers, the staff was rude and unwelcoming. There are much better restaurants in the area where guests are treated with respect. We won't be recommending Green Turtle Inn or returning.
