    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.

    Breakfast tacos

    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.

    French Toast Sampler

    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.

    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!

    Great place for brunch between miami and key west. The servers are really nice amd thw place has a proper american diner vibe. Not too many vegetarian options but customisable. The lobster rolls were good but nothing out of the ordinary.

    Glitter beer!

    You just can't get any more than this for a 'local place'. We sat in the long outdoor bar facing…read morethe water. The scene was awesome, picturesque! We weren't wearing bright day glow clothes with fanny packs, and Walt Disney sunglasses, but definitely felt like we were outsiders. Everybody was super nice to us, but it's just that feeling you have by looking around and seeing how other people are interacting. It was really just a perfect place on the water with cold beer. We were there for their AWESOME happy hour offerings, the HH menu on their website is not accurate. Here is an overview of what we had to eat from best first; -Lump Crabmeat covered tostones-AWESOME!! -Blackened Fish Nachos -Dirty French Fries -Pork Chicharrones & Fried Yuca -Hot Chicken Wings (I was sooo disappointed with them as they were meaty, cooked perfectly but NO flavor ) I highly recommend going here and will definitely be back!!

    The seafood buffet apparently closed 2 months ago . No scallops no snow crab legs…read more We ordered the Mahi basket with fries. My wife had coleslaw. I had yellow rice . The only place in the island that overcooked the mahi. Dry all the way through. It was not a good experience. On the opposite end the home cut fries we're not cooked all the way and served lukewarm . So they were mealy and unpleasant. I sampled 4-5 from different areas just to make sure and it was just bad. The yellow rice was tasteless but extremely sticky. It would stick to anything it touched like the bottom of the fork or my hand or just anything. It made me wonder if they put in an additive for it to Clump or just didn't wash the rice. That would explain the presentation, a giant half dome serving from a scoop. My wife really enjoyed the coleslaw and she absolutely loved the Key Lime colada drink . Otherwise it was just the worst dining that we've had in 5 days in Islamorada
