“Great little Market with beautiful crafts, clothing and foods and fruits & veggies. Take a break from all the stores with the same merchandise and check out the Farmers Market!“

“Fast and friendly service, very clean, and the food was fantastic, we had the chowder, the fish tacos and the shrimp! The Key Lime pie was amazing as well 👍“

“What a wonderful and tasty breakfast! Quite filling. Reasonably priced. The homemade biscuit is like a desert like biscuit. Very tasty!! Loved this restaurant.“

“We had such an amazing experience at the Tiki Bar in Islamorada, and it was all thanks to the incredible bartenders—Francesca, Sandra, and Ivan. From the moment we sat down, they were attentive, friendly, and genuinely made us feel welcome.
They stayed on top of everything, made sure we were always taken care of, and did it all with a smile. You can tell they truly appreciate their guests, and that kind of service makes all the difference.
Huge thank you to the three of you for making our time there so enjoyable—we’ll definitely be back!“

“What a great dining experience as we’re leaving The Keys. Great service and even better vibes inside. Key Lime pie was sooo good!“

“We went almost everyday! Bagels are delicious! Great to have my kids know what a real bagel is. Don’t be deterred by a long line, they go quick plus it’s fun listening to all the accents. Highly recommend the Nova with the works!“

“Smalltown restaurant feel. Nothing fancy but food is great, reasonably priced and service is quick and excellent. I got the seafood platter of blackened mahi, crab cake and 4 fried shrimp with fries and slaw for $16. It was as much as I could possibly eat. Seafood tastes fresh. You can see the water from the restaurant. I highly recommend.“

“Bogie's is such a cool place! It is situated at the Holiday Inn in Key Largo by their fabulous pool with waterfall. It is a good-sized tiki hut with comfortable high top chairs. It is in the shade. There are tables with umbrellas and another smaller tiki hut for seating.

I want to commend the guys that work there and how they provided A+ service while we were staying there (May 7-9). They were hard workers and brought our meals to us by the pool and even picked up the plates after we were done. All with a nice smile!

The food was delicious. We had Chicken Fingers one day and the next day, Chicken & Cheese quesadillas! Both were good choices. We enjoyed Bogie's.“

“The food is outstanding. The vibe and the atmosphere are both wonderful. Our waiter Ron was a fabulous server and a fun guy to spend our time with here. We will be back for everything!“

“This place is just not a pretty face. Ok, well it is but, the food is as tasty as the sunsets are dramatic.“

“Sat on the upper deck with a nice view of the water. I ordered the grilled mahi mahi sandwich and my dad ordered a loaded burger. We both enjoyed our meal - the mahi mahi didn't have too much flavor on its own, but the serving sizes were large for the prices (which are already some of the lowest in the area). The frozen pina colada was fine, pretty sweet and not very frozen“

“Doc’s diner is a wonderful restaurant. I needed take out breakfast for 35 people to celebrate my father’s 88th birthday. Gina was so accommodating. The food was in serving trays , as asked. The food was hot, the portions were large, and the price was fair. All the food was delicious- I especially liked the pancakes. All the staff were friendly and the order was ready at the agreed upon time. I would give more than five stars if I could.“

“The best healthier food in the Keys“

“We stopped by here on a whim for a couple drinks. Our bartender was Jeff “Brewer” and he was the best bartender we’ve ever had. He was very personable & knowledgeable about his craft. He surprised us with unique drinks (not on the drink list) complete with the back story/history of each one. We absolutely loved our experience!“

“We had breakfast at Calusa while staying at Baker’s Cay Resort, and it was an absolutely outstanding experience from start to finish. The atmosphere was relaxed, welcoming, and exactly what you want when you’re easing into your morning in the Keys.

The staff was phenomenal across the board, but I have to give a special shoutout to Ricky, the host. He was incredible—attentive, personable, and genuinely invested in creating a great experience. That’s how you host a restaurant. He made us feel valued from the moment we walked in and set the tone for the entire meal.

The food was delicious, the coffee was excellent, and the views were just as impressive—beautiful, peaceful, and perfectly complementing the overall vibe. Everything felt thoughtfully done, and the pricing was very reasonable for the quality and setting.

All in all, this was a 10 out of 10 experience. If you’re anywhere near Baker’s Cay, do yourself a favor and start your day here. Five stars all the way.“

“The food was soooo good, service was exceptional.. Highly recommend!!!“

“Louis was charmingly entertaining! Will definitely stop in again. What's up with not having Zane Grey merchandise? I think you're missing a huge opportunity.“

“We went to Bayside Grille for my husband’s birthday while vacationing in the Key’s. Everything was excellent from beginning to end. Andreas was or server and he was very attentive and helpful. We had the 5 oz. Tenderloin cooked perfectly and tasted so good! Andreas recommended the cowboy topping which we enjoyed as well. The salads were delicious as well as the chocolate birthday cake. We highly recommend Bayside Grille and would definitely go back.“

“Love this restaurant! 10/10. We had the fish and chip-best I have ever had! We also had the key lime pie because you have to when you are in the Keys! Soooo good! Then there is the atmosphere-tarpons swimming by, pelicans floating, and the view-wow! To add to that there was great music from a singer (didn’t catch his name) and a wonderful waitress! Definitely will be back!“

“Einfach Wunderbar 🌴💚 I'm freien sitzen und auf das Meer schauen, essen lecker, leider alles in Plastik serviert“

“Best bbq I’ve had in years!!!!! Worth the visit 100%“

“Marker 88 is an absolute gem in Islamorada! The atmosphere is relaxed and beautiful, with unbeatable waterfront views, but the highlight of my visit was the blackened hogfish with Tabasco butter sauce. Perfectly seasoned, cooked just right, and the sauce was incredible — rich, flavorful, and with just the right amount of kick. It’s one of those dishes you’ll be thinking about long after the meal. The service was friendly and attentive, making the whole experience even better. If you’re in the Keys, Marker 88 is a must-visit for both the food and the setting. Highly recommend!“

“They kept the charm of the old Marker 88 in little details like keep the 2 GREEN covered table and benches almost in the same location as before... a iconic scene was shot in one of them on a episode of BLOODLINE. Food is as good if not better than before if that is possible.... service is excellent too. Friendly staff including hostess/host and waitresses/waiters very impressed with the new dock and WOW EVERY table has a GREAT view to take in LOTS of selfies were being taken during my visit, I celebrated my 78th Birthday 1 day before and had Fresh Mahi Mahi Tacos for Lunch. So happy they did a complete do over after the destruction from the hurricane that so much damage to the beautiful Keys. Welcome Back Marker 88! Happy to see you there....“

“Good food ,,,,,,,, friendly service“

“Awesome place, great bartenders, fantastic owners, and the coldest Busch Light in the keys! This historic bar is a must stop with phenomenal pizza and full menu. I strongly recommend a visit to the Whistle Stop.“
