Florida Keys Cafe is one of those spots that instantly makes you feel welcome the moment you walk in. The environment is warm, relaxed, and inviting--perfectly capturing that laid-back Keys vibe while still feeling cozy and comfortable. The food is incredibly tasteful, fresh, and well-prepared, with every dish hitting the mark without being overdone. You can tell care goes into both the flavors and the presentation. The location is ideal, making it a great stop whether you're a local or just passing through the Keys. What really elevated the experience, though, was the service--Shannon was absolutely fantastic. Friendly, attentive, and genuinely kind, she made us feel right at home and added that personal touch that keeps you coming back. Highly recommend Florida Keys Cafe for great food, great service, and an all-around feel-good experience.

Small cafe , great food and service . Everything we had was great and hot when it was served , not like it sat in the window to be picked up. Will be back read more

Pretty much a dive. Waitress was nice and friendly. Gravy biscuits were so-so. Too much flour and way too thick. French toast was OK. Omelette was pretty good...fresh ingredients. They have Pepsis not Coke products. read more

Parking is a bit of a challenge as this is a small restaurant. The decor and general vibe is like a house converted to a restaurant which gave it a "homey" feel. They have a large counter top as well so if you want a quick bite it is the perfect place to sit! The service is slow and forgetful, but the sandwich made it worth it! My husband got the country fried steak. It was a frozen patty with canned gravy so a bit disappointing, but not the worst he has ever had. read more

The service was fenomenal and don't even talk about the food. The food was so good! Is worth it to come all the way down here from Hollywood. read more

We are from Southern NJ and vacation in Marathon between Christmas and New Years. For about a decade we have always made sure we visit Florida Keys Cafe at least once during our stay. In fact, in our group, we refer to it as "the sausage gravy place." The food is terrific! The service is always friendly and fast and the wait staff are always attentive to our needs. I appreciate that the food comes out hot and tasty. There is a wide variety of choices on the menu, including some specialized breakfast combinations that will leave the hungriest patron full and satisfied. When you walk in and take your seat, you feel very at-home in the laid-back environment. The place is small, but not cramped. There are tables, booths, and seats available at the counter. It's nice to sit and enjoy a meal amidst the hustle and bustle of other patrons who are eating and talking and enjoying life. I am glad for the friendly banter I engage in with the servers. They are not so serious that they can't enjoy a laugh now and again. In conclusion: yes, I recommend eating at Florida Keys Cafe. The variety of food can please even the pickiest of eaters. The food comes out cooked to order, hot, and delicious. The wait staff are friendly and the service is prompt. Thank you, Florida Keys Cafe, for always serving up just what we're looking for when we're in town! read more

HOLY FREAKING HELL. . this place is a tiny little hole in the wall, that if you blink, you will miss it DONT NOT MISS IT. I don't know that I have the words for the shrimp and grits. incredible, awesome, fantastic do not do them justice. Our server Sacred was marginal at best. ( She was fantastic, i just told her I was going to give her a marginal review) My wife had a egg and veggie burrito that was phenomenal as well. AAAAA+++++ read more

Great place for breakfast with the family! Our food was delicious and service was excellent.

We stopped here for breakfast on our way to Key West. Great food & great service!!! This little place was so cozy & cute!!! Our waitress brought my momma's cinnamon roll to the table with a candle so we could sing happy birthday to her, as it was her 80th!!!! An all around wonderful visit here and would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a local place to support!!!! read more

A great place to stop at going to or leaving Key West. Only my husband ate, I had breakfast in my room hours earlier. He had the breakfast burrito with home fry potatoes and could not quite finish it all. Service was efficient and pleasant. Bathrooms are outside which was a surprise. read more

The last few times we stopped here, they added mimosas to the menu. Yes!! I ordered mango and my usual sausage gravy omelet. RJ had a regular omelet and I shared my sausage gravy with him. It was awesome as usual. Keys Cafe is consistently fantastic. read more

If you're in this area and hungry, this is a great place and very reasonable pricing. Eggs, biscuits n gravy were perfect. We ll eat here again when passing thru. Our waitress's name was Secret and she is awesome. read more

Went here for a quick brunch before heading out to Miami airport. We reached here around 11:25 am and the place was relatively busy. Caution! The floors were very slippery and Havaianas didn't have much grip. I then noticed that most of their staff members were sliding in and out of the kitchen area - literally! They didn't have any beer, but did have $5.50 mimosas and $7 Bloody Mary's. We ordered both, and both were just ok. The Bloody Mary didn't have much of a kick to it. For food we ordered Shrimp and Grits and Fish and Grits ($14), Western Omelette ($13), and their Breakfast Burrito ($13) - without eggs and meat in it. The Burrito that I had was quite dry although did have plenty of cheese. Food overall was ok, very home style, and service was excellent. While not cash only, if you pay by card, there is a 3% service charge to it. read more

The best place to have breakfast ever. Food is delicious, fresh and tasty, been here two times already. I wish there were one in Miami. Dont judge by how it looks from the outside or the Motel where is located...a must stop place. read more

Nice little hidden treasure... I thought the French toast was amazing and my family enjoyed the muffins and the two-egg breakfast. Service was great and we got our food timely. Decent amount of seating, considering it looks so small from the outside. Highly recommend ... and we will definitely return! read more

Love the food, love the girls working there and the kitchen team is always on point. I try to go every weekend

The best breakfast on the keys , is like your mom or granny make a breakfast. The service is amazing And the ambience is very familiar.

Ok, any of the Keys can be expensive especially the further south you roam. We stayed in Marathon and this little diner just south of 7 mile bridge is really nice for breakfast and lunch for $12 pp. The place is clean and cooks up really good breakfast and lunch. Nice stop on the way to or from Key West. read more

Stopped as we were leaving the Keys. Was pleasantly surprised to see that the restaurant was bigger than it looked. Service was great and the food was delicious. read more

Excellent everything for breakfast, and if you love fried clams like I do you'll stay for lunch...

I have been here several times and it's kind of a hit and mess today the food was great! The last time I was there it was very salty I think they may have a new cook. Waitresses are so busy but they always make sure that your coffee cup is full and that you're happy so I am very pleased this time read more

A slight step-back in time, in a good way. Keys Café is a great place to just leave it all behind for a while, and enjoy perfectly executed wholesome breakfast or lunch. But you better hurry since close at two, which is a good thing as they seem to value both work and off-time equally. The service is just right and the selections are more than what you'd expect. Never a bad day at the Keys Cafe. read more

Great food, great service. Just a little cafe between key west & marathon. Would definitely eat here again.

We're a group of 2 to 8 ladies that go to Keys Cafe every Monday year-round. The food is great (and reasonably priced). The service is the best. You won't be disappointed. read more

Totally unbelievable manager (claims to be the sister of the owner). We came in as a group of 8. Sat down right away, no wait, and not very busy. Our waitress, Lisa, was super sweet. All was going well until our food came out. Other waitresses took our food as it came out of the kitchen, so our ticket was all messed up. Food came out all wrong, missing items, cold, and we just came to the point of settling for what we got. Lisa scrambled to fix it and constantly apologized. She even took care of our bill even though it wasn't her fault. No apology from the manager. I tried to talk to her and she said told us some personal information about her. First of all, she should NEVER share information about her employees. Second, she should have helped!!!! Lisa even asked for help with another table while she was trying to fix our tickets, and the manager gave her a nasty look and walked in the kitchen to do it. Totally unprofessional and distrusting of her. read more

Server was beyond friendly and made my morning a lot better. Food was great, the grits are the best in the keys!

Omg! We loved this place. Perfect homemade breakfast for a great price. The waitresses were very accommodating and truly the best service on all the keys that we've had all week. Hands down would've eaten breakfast here everyday if I would've know they were so accommodating and tasty. The big breakfast was hash browns, two eggs, bacon, two biscuits n gravy, and two pieces of French toast!!!! read more

Reliable spot for yummy, affordable breakfast. Has a fun diner vibe and serves champagne cocktails. Great staff.

If you want a traditional American diner breakfast with mostly locals on Big Pine. This is your place. I typically order from here to-go about once a month. The ladies are super nice. The country fried steak is good. Prices are reasonable. I always call in my order and it is always ready when I get there. I live a fifteen minute drive away, depending on tourists and deer. If you're looking for something fancy, this ain't it, but if you wanted fancy you'd be in KW, or the mainland, not BPK! A hearty breakfast that will have you skipping lunch is what you'll get here. read more

I have eaten here twice since arriving. Really busy and the waitresses are really stretched to keep up. Sat at the bar both times. Greeted and given coffee and time to see the menu. Eggs, bacon, toast, fruit, toast, milk and coffee. Food is a little greasy but this is an old style cafe. It was good and filling. Second time I got eggs, bacon, biscuits and gravy, a waffle, fruit, milk, and coffee. Not so greasy on this one but the food did come out less than hot. They gave me a new order and all was well. Really good. I would go back again and again because this place is authentic. A rare jewel in this fast paced world. read more

Stopped in for breakfast! Doesn't look like much on the outside but best breakfast we've had in the keys! We had a party of 8 and the staff was very accommodating. The Gutbuster was most everyone's choice but I added a full stack of French toast and it's perfect! Everyone now needs a nap before we continue on to keywest for the day! read more
