    My wife and I stopped in yesterday for lunch. It now has new owners and the name is The islands pancake house. The food was fantastic, the atmosphere was great and so was the owner Stacey. Service was fast and it was nice not spending over $100 which is hard to find down in the keys. Next time we make the trip down from Michigan back to the keys, we will be sure to stop here again and highly recommend! -Jake & Lenny

    Biscuits and gravy. Add eggs and pico de gallo for the win.
    Douglas H.

    Great food, great people, and great prices... especially for the Keys. Their biscuits and gravy add eggs and pico de gallo... makes an awesome breakfast.

    Well I do meet the big pine rooster he is in the potty.

    Breakfast: half plate biscuits and gravy / burritos. Out standing definitely leaving happy and full. Server was awesome she attend just enough to make the experience great. Old key west bar and grille. Very cool. Sad I didn't get to meet the big pine rooster. lol. Price was great too.

    Chicken fried steak

    Wife and I came here last year and loved it, so we decided to stop again. Checked reviews and saw they had dropped a bit. The main complaint was service. While there was only one server, she was great. We loved the food . The whiskey was exceptionally good. Will be back again

    Rubin sandwich

    Worst food so far. Ordered liver and onions. The liver and onions were cold and dry. It was layered on top of cold mashed potatoes the Rubin sandwich was supposed to have pastrami. The meat was fatty and looked like bacon and tasted like bacon. The iced tea was hot and no ice the server didn't know anything about the food on the menu he definitely needs training will never waist money there again. $100 for 3 people to eat lunch and didn't even eat it . Left hungry

    The Cuban
    Lynnet P.

    Every single bite was over the top delicious. The whiskey chicken sandwich was to die for. The fish platter. The Cuban sandwich delish and the fries probably the best I've had. Wish we lived here!

    Bar area with plenty of seating in the dining area

    We eat here several times , every time we visit the keys. Food and service were excellent and the atmosphere is very cozy. They keep the place immaculate! My husband had the Cuban burger and said it's his new favorite meal. I had the whiskey chicken dinner and it was done to perfection. Sorry to hear the former owners are no longer there but the new ones are doing a great job! Don't forget the homemade donuts!!

    Service fabulous, cheese sticks, onion rings and chicken tenders all great. But really we would come back just for the service.

    Brisket, missing the cornbread in the picture
    Cameron C.

    The place was empty, a bit surprising. The waitress was amazing. Met us at the door. Very patient as we altered the order. She said if we were covid conscious , we could order online for a contactless transaction. Not necessary, but very appreciated. The restaurant dining itself is a large open area for minutes seating. But looks like a great place. Food was tasty as well. I had the bbq brisket, with baked beans, fries, and Cornbread. The Cornbread was moist, buttery, with honey. Very delicious. Food was 4 stars, but the waitress level of service pushed to that rare 5ty star.

    Conch fritters, coleslaw, cornbread
    Laura D.

    Excellent service! The conch fritters, Cole slaw, cornbread, pulled pods Sammie's, and fries were all top notch!

    Ordered the BLT and short stack with eggs and bacon.
    Diana C.

    Very cute restaurant, it felt very cozy inside. We were greeted right away and seated. We tried some of their donuts and they were very delicious.

    Coconut Chicken Breast!

    I ah e been here many, many times. The service is great! Soledad makes sure you feel welcome and make sure you get what you ordered. The food is very good. Unfortunately, they are victims of the times where it's difficult to keep anyone working. So the owner, Marcy does a lot of the cooking to stay consistent. They now even make donuts for the sweet tooth. They have nice desserts like traditional Keylime pie chocolate, peanut butter, brownies, and pineapple upside down cake. Along with the sweet stuff they have a bar that has wine and beer. A very good selection of each. They also offer frozen margaritas, strawberry, daiquiris, and bloody Mary along with mimosas

    French toast
    Tess S.

    Stopped by for breakfast on our way to the Keys. I did some research and decided Big Pine Rooster had a lot of great reviews! I am happy I did because it did not disappoint. I had the Bucky's Skillet and it was great! Highly recommend! Quick and easy

I'm not a picky eater by any means, but the food was extremely underwhelming. I ordered the burger, and it had almost no flavor. My wife ordered the Philly cheesesteak, and it was topped with what tasted like individually wrapped processed cheese, which really took away from the sandwich. Our soft drinks were flat and served in very small plastic cups. For about $70 for two entrées and an appetizer, we expected much better quality. The outdoor seating was covered with picnic tables, which was a nice break from the Florida sun and probably the most comfortable part of the meal. The atmosphere, however, wasn't what we expected. The staff spent much of the time sitting at a nearby table using profanity, and we never felt particularly welcome. As visitors, we got the impression that locals were the priority and tourists were just passing through. The one bright spot was the property itself. Seeing the Key deer and colorful chameleons wandering around made for some great photos and was honestly the highlight of our visit. Maybe this is a better stop if you're looking for a place to grab a drink and enjoy the atmosphere, but based on our experience, we wouldn't come back for the food.

    We were really looking forward to trying this restaurant, but unfortunately our experience was…read moredisappointing from start to finish. The online waitlist initially estimated a 60-75 minute wait, not an issue, had a cocktail upstairs and really wnjoyed ourselves. When we checked in, we were told we were next eventhough thebonline portal told us to come. After waiting another 15 minutes, we were told our table was just being cleaned and to wait where we were. A few minutes later, another employee told us we had to move because a different party was holding the door open, so we ended up standing behind the bar with our backs against the wall. It just felt awkward and disorganized. When we were finally seated in the back room, we thought it would be nice since it was quieter, but it was extremely hot. I'm usually the person who is always cold, yet I was sweating through dinner. Service also left a lot to be desired. The food runner handed our hot dinner plates directly to us instead of placing them on the table. I was sitting at the opposite end of the table from him, so I had to reach out and take a hot plate. I even asked if it was hot, and he still practically dropped it into my hands. I had burned my fingers earlier that day, so it hurt!!.. but it was that or drop my pasta!? Our server also repeatedly reached across guests' faces to clear plates instead of walking around the table. At one point my sister didn't even realize she was there until an arm reached in front of her, which was awkward. To make matters worse, two of our dinners arrived about seven minutes before the remaining meals, so part of our table was left waiting while the others' food got cold. We asked for grated Parmesan for our two PASTA dishes. No one mentioned there would be a charge. It took another six minutes to arrive, and when the bill came we discovered we had been charged $2 per serving. We asked for two servings, but three were brought to the table--and we were charged for all three. Six minutes may not sound like much, but after already waiting for the rest of the meals, another delay while watching our server take new tables' orders instead of bringing the cheese felt frustrating. To end on a positive note, three of the meals were good. My mother-in-law really enjoyed the grilled wahoo, my husband liked the BBQ mac and cheese, and my sister liked the fried artichoke. Overall, it wasn't one major issue--it was a series of small service problems that added up and made for a disappointing experience. We hope this feedback helps improve the experience for future guests.
