“Harriette's Restaurant Bayside, Mile Marker 95.7 Key Largo, FL 33037 4 Stars Stopping for some morning chow at Harriette's Restaurant in Key Largo should be a requirement for everyone traveling down the Overseas Hwy exploring the vast beauty of the Keys. However, once again, my taste buds are ahead of my fingers and I get ahead of myself. As I entered Harriette's Restaurant, I was immediately transported back to my Grandmother's house on the Sebastian River. Not only was the outside reminiscent of a bygone era, the décor ; screamed mid-century time capsule, however, it was the scents assaulting my olfactory orifice that had me looking for my favorite chair at Grandma's table. This may be in the Keys, but I am confident that it ain't no tourist trap. Christina was my server for the meal and was exemplary in every way. She began her service with a sincere, warm Southern greeting, making all her customers feel like family. We are in Grand Ma-Ma's house, after all. I asked my new favorite second cousin twice removed on my mother's brother's babysitter's side for a stack of Pancakes, an order of their Corned Beef Hash, two eggs over medium, Sausage Biscuit, hash browns, and one more biscuit as they looked so good. While I didn't try one, If you take a peek at the pics, you can see that they have quite a panoply of muffins and are well known for them. Christina soon returned with our Southern viands, and I eagerly got to work. Have I mentioned the aromas disseminating about the place? I slapped some butter on the stack of fresh-off-the-griddle Johnny Cakes, poured some real maple syrup over the top and plopped a forkful in my mouth. The cakes were warm, fluffy and delicious. Nothing beats a flapjack right off the griddle with real maple syrup. Nothing. However, I wasn't here to enjoy sampling their delectable delights; I was on a mission to bring you raw, unadulterated food reviews. To that end, I turned my fastidious palate to the Corned Beef Hash before me. This was quite good. I don't think it was made in the back, as the cut was too uniform for most line cooks. If it was food service Hash, at least it wasn't bottom-of-the-truck stuff. It was flavorful and cooked to perfection. My eggs were cooked correctly, the hash browns were obviously made fresh to order and the sausage gravy was spot on. Finally, the biscuit was not only gigantic; it was obviously made with love and pure devotion to the obvious -- care. Is this place going to win a James Beard award? No. Is it my new favorite place for breakfast in the Keys? Maybe. I know one thing for sure: Harriette's Restaurant is an excellent breakfast for a splurge vacation to the Florida Archipelago. The Big Boy says, “Enjoy the homemade grub and if you try a muffin, please let me know!”“

“We are here from Texas and this is Na & Pop’s favorite place “they are locals” and let me tell y’all the food is amazing here. I’m allergic to shellfish so I have been limited to what I can eat so if your looking for great food other then seafood with home style feel this is the place to stop at

The staff is amazing (Angel and his family are the best make you feel like family“

“My wife and I were expecting the normal overpriced resort patio with normal iffy food. Thankfully, the Palm Court was not this. First, the pricing was perfectly reasonable. But more importantly, the food was really tasty. We ate lunch and I ordered a shake and fish tacos with waffle fries and they were both simply delicious. If you are staying at ORC, this is an excellent lunch spot.“

“Key Largo’s Best-Kept Secret for Breakfast Bliss

Tucked away just off the main drag in Key Largo, there’s a little breakfast spot that doesn’t shout for attention—but once you find it, you’ll never forget it. This cozy breakfast house is the kind of place locals try to keep to themselves, and for good reason: the food is unreal.

From the moment you walk in, the vibe is laid-back Keys charm—bright, breezy, and welcoming. The coffee is strong and smooth (they know how to brew it right), and the smell of sizzling bacon and baked goods hits you like a warm hug.

But let’s talk about the food. The crab cake Benedict is out-of-this-world good—fresh, buttery crab with perfectly poached eggs and a tangy hollandaise that tastes homemade. The French toast is something you didn’t know you needed in your life—light, citrusy, and topped with a hint of powdered sugar and fresh berries. Even the classics like scrambled eggs, hash browns, corn beef hash and pancakes are done right—crispy edges, fluffy centers, and clearly made with care.

The service? Friendly, fast, and the kind where the server remembers your name and your coffee order after just one visit.

It’s the kind of place where time slows down, and breakfast feels like a treat instead of a routine. Whether you’re heading out for a day on the water or just looking for a peaceful start to your morning, this hidden gem is the perfect spot.

Fair warning: once you eat here, you’ll start planning your mornings around it. The best breakfast in Key Largo? Without question. Just don’t tell too many people—we’d like to keep this secret safe a little longer.“

“We had pre-purchased the breakfast for two with our room at the Holiday Inn. Normally you can get the breakfast bar or order from the menu but on Tuesday morning that we were there they did not have the buffet. Their omelettes were wonderful with choice of cakes or toast as well as coffee and water. I knocked the review down a little because they wanted to charge us for a glass of juice.“

“This is our go-to restaurant in Key Largo. What's better than enjoying delicious food as you watch the boats go by? Prices are much more reasonable than in other area restaurants. I recommend the Avocado Dorado and the roasted Brussels sprouts appetizer.“

“Easter brunch with our family. Wonderful experience. The spread was amazing. Something for everyone. Prime rib was best I've ever had and that's saying something! Glazed carrots, fingerling potatoes, shrimp cocktail, crab legs, Caesar salad, smoked salmon, bottomless mimosas and on and on. Definitely did not leave hungry. Worth the experience especially with the amazing views of the ocean.“

“Expected a greasy diner experience - instead had a 2 star Michelin dinner. Service was prompt and courteous. Will definitely be coming back.“

“Best pizza I ever had. I’m 73 and I’ve had a lot to try . Best ever!“

“I've lived in the Keys 6 years and never knew about the Siren. I was blown away by the service and the food. Definitely my new favorite place!“

“Great place to eat. Awesome verity. The staff was friendly and always make sure all Your needs are met“

“Doc’s Diner Key Largo 4-30-25 Stooped by for breakfast on Wednesday about 7:15 am. They were not that busy and we got a table right away. Our Waitress brought the coffee fast and we ordered our food right there. The waitress was very nice and so friendly and checked on us many times. I ordered the Country Fried Steak with Sausage Gravy, Hash Browns and 2 eggs over easy. My wife ordered 2 Eggs over easy with Toast. My dad ordered Sausage Gravy over biscuits. Our ordered came out fast and looked very good. All our food as hot and tasty. When we were done, we were full as they piled up our plates with plenty of food. I give this place a 4 out of 5 stars. When I’m in Key Largo I will not hesitate to go back here. Make sure you stop by as when we left it was full of locals. They know where the good food is and now you know. ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Follow Me On FB For More Reviews & Fun. Gulf Coast Terry“

“Every time I manage to make it here before work or on laundry day I'm always excited. the service is friendly you can tell the people here are actually kind and caring humans. The food is always amazing and the prices are so low the scale of quality to price is broken here you always get more than you pay for combine that with wanting to give these lovely humans more money and support and it's a win win, I just wish they were open more, but I understand and respect that they keep a healthy work life balance!“

“My family and I were headed on our way out of The Keys. We were looking for waterfront with some good reviews. We were so surprised to find this hidden gem. From start to finish, all of the staff were friendly and welcoming. The outdoor dining is creative with little water fountains and cute decor. The food was some of the best and freshest we found in the Keys. My husband loved the ribs, said they were “on point”. My sisters fish tacos were so fresh ..they had to have caught it that morning!? She raved about it. I have to say that my salad was one of the freshest I’ve ordered at a Seafood restaurant. Props to our waiter Steven, he was refreshingly funny and exceptionally attentive even though they were very busy. Some of the best service I’ve ever had to be honest! I don’t know how this place isn’t 5 stars? People Need to rate when it’s great too!! We will definitely be back!“

“I’ve dealt with two Marine Max locations. Trust when I tell you that Marine Max Ocean Reef is a standard above the norm. The service both by the sales staff and service staff has been extraordinary.
