    Island Chicken and fries
    Debbie W.

    We are staying at the Lime Tree Bay Resort in Layton on Long Key in Florida. Layton is a very small town with only one restaurant, this one, which is part of the resort. Luckily, it has great service and food! In fact, we are going back a second time! The standouts for food were the Grouper bites basket (great tasting Grouper, battered and fried just right and accompanied by delicious fries), the rib eye with onion rings and asparagus (cooked as requested to mid rare and everything seasoned well), the short rib sandwich (very flavorful) with fries) and the Island Chicken sandwich (delicious but so filled with goodness that it was impossible to eat as a sandwich, it all fell apart). The drinks we ordered were Arnold Palmers, pina colada and a house Sauvignon Blanc - each was good and both food and drink are reasonably priced. So, you can drive a short distance to other Keys for a meal, but why do that if you can walk to and from The Florida Bay Bar and Grill? P.S. They offer inside and outdoor dining.

    Stayed at The Lime Tree 10 years ago... had to stop by, check out the changes and grab some lunch & so glad we did!! Saul was our server and service was great!!! We had the Grouper Fingers and the Mahi Tacos... both were delicious!!! The sauce that comes with the Grouper is so good!! Great vibe and beautiful resort!! Thank you Saul!

    Fried Chicken, Eggs and Gravy! @ Breakfast!!!! And it was really really good!!!

    This was a proper Keys Breakfast! The Fried Chicken, Eggs and Gravy is spectacular! The service was super friendly and vibe was between vacation and hangover. 100% coming back here again, a real locally owned business.

    Dude! I was like hesitant about the food tbh. But boy was I happy litto clam! The food was delicious I really feel like they put love into the grub. I'm so happy there's a litto spot right next door to lime tree bay resort. And that the food is fire. It would've sucked if the food was horrible. Our server Geri really elevated the experience. Had us laughing the whole time. And honestly I gotta thank you big because his recommendations of what to eat we ate like kings! Highly recommend this spot if you're staying at Lime Tree Bay Resort or if you're just passing through the key, don't sleep on this spot. Super recommended.

    Grouper Fingers

    We happened upon this place while driving. Great island vibe outside at the bar. Saul was a great bartender and server! The conch fritters were on point! Delicious side sauce!! We ordered grouper fingers and the mahi tacos. The grouper fingers are huge! Skip the tartar sauce, and order the conch sauce!

    Great bar and restaurant attached to the lime tree hotel. The staff is very friendly and welcoming for breakfast, lunch, drinks or a late night eats. Can't go wrong with the grouper fingers, chicken fingers, nachos, or classic hamburger.

    The food was plentiful - large portions of delicious food . We had the fresh grilled mahi with crunchy fries . Another family member had grilled cheese sandwich and another family member ordered the summer salad w/o the cheese. The ambiance is casual and laid back with good service .

    Lacey and Saul were the absolute best!!!! Food was great. We had just walked out of another high priced restaurant and came here. The food was spot on, perfect for our vacation vibe. Other patrons were friendly. We ate outside and had a fantastic time. Highly recommend

    If you are in the area and want great food and drinks at a reasonable price. This is the spot!! Our server Natalie was great, she greeted us with a big smile , she helped us out with some food recommendations and had zero issues with my special requests. My wife ordered the sunset shrimp tacos, they were delicious the only thing I recommend is for the chef to make the salsa that served with the tortillas. I ordered the fried grouper basket. The fish was perfectly fried that breading is amazing. I should have asked what they used. Over I give the restaurant a 10 out of 10. The restaurant itself is well maintained and clean. We sat outside see the picture. But they do have indoor seating with a pool table and a couple arcade games.

    Steak nachos
    Billa R.

    Awesome drinks, excellent food. We had breakfast lunch and dinners here and everything was delicious. I recommend the rib meat grilled cheese and the breakfast burrito. The steak nachos were a meal by itself!

    Amanda at the bar was great! Loved the open air patio and bar, service was good and so was the food! Recommend the grouper sticks and nachos. Great place to stop on the drive between keys as we were headed to key west.

    Ahi Ruben sandwich. Tons of delicious fries.
    Cathy L.

    Great place to stop if driving down to Key West. Right on the main drag...the ahi Rueben and fries done perfectly with generous portions. I'd stop again and recommend you do too.

    We stopped in for lunch and was ignored by the staff. Sat for about 20 minutes without even an acknowledgment.

    Service was awesome and very upbeat, food was delicious and there were so many options that were generally appealing rather than exotic!

    I've mentioned before how I'm hard on bbq joints.... This review will reflect that. It is attached…read moreto Green Turtle -which has never let me down... so I had reasonable hopes. But unfortunately it's some of the worse bbq I've ever had.... Burn ends? Deep fried? No...... pull pork was slathered in a terrible sauce that I hope they got from a jar and didn't spend time making. .... Service was great though, had a cool vibe, but short of that, I'll have to go someplace else to eat. If you're from NY you'll love it, if you're from the south.... Keep driving..... if you're from Texas - don't chu dare.... Burn ends F Pulled pork D Tater tots B

    I was attracted to The Nest by their promotional signage outside. Thought it was the Green Turtle…read moreInn but they are a separate restaurant and close early so I had to re-read the sign and saw that The Nest is the place for the promotions. Went in for their happy hour and ordered the smoked wings. It was a great deal for 6 good size wings for only $5. You can't get a wing for under a dollar anymore these days so I decided to try them out since they're a BBQ spot and probably smoked the wings pretty good. I was surprised to find out that they make their own blue cheese and ranch sauces. They were super good and haven't had great ranch and blue cheese sauce with a bunch of decent sized blue cheese chunks in a while. I also tried their BBQ sauce and it wasn't bad, not too sweet and pretty smokey. Great deals on a pint ($5) and pitcher ($16) of Florida Keys Brewing Co beers. I think it may even beat the actual brewery's prices. I noticed their AC was blowing pretty good and strong. It was a cooler day when I went so I got a little chilly but I'm sure that is a huge bonus when it's the hot summer time there. The bartender was busy with all the football games playing on the big TVs but she was attentive and seemed to have given me the best service she could. I was very pleased with this establishment and would like to come back again.
