What a lovely restaurant with great service and solid food. Large selection of breakfast, lunch and dinner. Linda was a friendly and attentive server and made the meal memorable. First we need to talk about their muffins, huge selection and amazing. We took some to go they were so good. We had two as an appetizer lemon blueberry and upside down pineapple. Yummy. Fish sandwiches were delicious with a variety of fish and preparation styles. The breakfast skillet and pancake was also very good. One of us even bought a T shirt. We will be back and you should make a stop if you are in area. read more

We stopped in with friends on a Saturday morning on our way to Marathon and it was busy. The place isn't really large but they do have tables that fit larger groups in the side room. We sat down at our table and then the place filled up. Talk about timing! I saw crab cake Benedict on the menu and knew I had to try it. I was also interested in the Lobster Benedict but they also had a lobster omelette so my husband agreed to get the omelette and we would share so we could try both their omelettes and the Benedict. He got their breakfast casserole for a $2 up charge and the waitress said "oh, good choice," so we were both excited to see what that was going to be like. I ordered the grits with cheese. Our food came out in a timely manner and we enjoyed our coffee while we waited. The staff were great about keeping our mugs filled at all times. The food was served and I really enjoyed the crab cakes Benedict. The grits were just ok. Even with the cheese and butter, salt and pepper I added it was just bland. My husband liked his omelette. We tried each others and I think my pick won out. I will say his breakfast casserole was delicious! It had so much flavor. Definitely worth paying the extra couple bucks for imo. My friends all commented they enjoyed their food. They had some breakfast sandwiches and egg meals. We liked that they brought our check with a seashell on top. One of my friends was hoping we could keep them. I thought it was a nice added touch. We won't run back here but certainly would eat there again if we were in the area. read more

Super-friendly diner with good homemade dishes and lots of fish. The calamari came with a delicious house-made marinara sauce (we got a second round of the sauce). The golden Greek salad lacked Greek salad dressing, but the grouper on top was really good. The Black and Blue fish sandwich was ok -- the blue cheese crumbles overwhelmed the blackened mahi mahi, so I removed some of them to just have them with my fries (the rest of the fries I dipped in the marinara). And we took a couple of the nice huge muffins to go home with us. read more

I come to the Keys all the time but this is the first time I stopped in for breakfast. Has the pancakes and bacon. I'm a bit of a pancake snob and these were excellent! Loved the women serving. So friendly and helpful. Definitely will make this my go-to breakfast spot from here on out. read more

Unsure if it's the owner or manager, but the lady is charge ruins the entire experience. I listened to her berate one table then talk to another table about things for them to do in Key Largo. Even though she was helping them, she just seemed to be yelling at them. The Great: Key Lime Pie- best found The Good - ... The Bad - Cold Grits on both of our plates The Ugly - The lady in charge My party would like to go back for the Key Lime Pie. I wouldn't give this establishment 1 more penny. read more

I have found my breakfast spot in High Tide! Their breakfast offerings are extensive! They have daily omelet specials. They various benedikts. They have to-die-for freshly baked, gigantic, muffins. They have corned beef hash. They have country fried steak smothered in gravy. I almost forgot they have pancakes & waffles! You can get a coffee or iced tea refill to take along. I definitely never leave here hungry! Service is attentive, friendly and super efficient. Everyone likes chatting it up, regardless if you are local or just visiting. The restaurant is small inside. I nearly always sit at the counter when I am solo. They have a couple tables outside to accommodate those who smoke or who have dogs. There is plenty of paved parking in front and an additional gravel lot in the back. My highest recommendation for a great breakfast! read more

I am giving 4 well meant stars. The staff was nice and attentive. The food we had was good and in an acceptable price range. Unfortunately they do not have vegetarian dishes, so we had to go for french fries and a salad. French fries were delicious and the salad gravy was also very tasty. The blue cheese burger was more like okish. Would I come again. If there will be vegetarian dishes in the future, probably yes. read more

High prices Red and white wines were bith very bad. Fish 5* Bad service, got mostly served by a trainee who knew nothing about being a waitress. Very long wait after placing food order. Then salad came, and 2 minutes later, the main dishes were delivered. Very good onion rings. Caesar salad dressing was thin with no taste. read more

We stopped in on the way to Key West. Place has a nice vibe. Most of the staff were friendly. Our party came to the conclusion that our waitress was new. She wasn't as friendly as the other waitresses who stoped by and made many errors when taking our orders. My husband really enjoyed his lobster sandwich. The couple I was with enjoyed their food, especially the biscuits, but said their grits were cold and lacked flavor. I ordered a medium rare steak and over medium eggs. The steak came out well and eggs scrambled. Try 2 with the eggs were better, but still had runny white. I sent the steak back, and chose not to try it again. We believe our waitress didn't communicate what took place well to the manager (I'm assuming that was who came to our table afterwards). I'm saying that because the manager was aggressive and almost confrontational when she came to the table. She was escalating and seemed like she was ready for a fight when all I was doing was changing my order to two eggs. She was speaking very loudly and I felt like making a scene. It was very uncomfortable. She did take the steak off the ticket and was friendly afterwards. We indulged in the key lime pie, and we've tried many key lime pies, and I would say that it was close to being the best we've had. It was very tart and you knew eating it , that it was homemade. It's unfortunate that the previous hostile interaction left us all wondering what the heck just happened here. read more

Five stars, and I want to explain this properly because High Tide in Key Largo is absolutely a place people should experience at least once. This is one of those spots that immediately tells you it's a local favorite the second you walk in. It feels homey, lived in, and deeply rooted in the community. The average crowd definitely skews older, which honestly just shows how loyal the regulars are and how long this place has been doing something right. We stood for a minute or two when we arrived, which wasn't a problem at all, but the initial interaction felt a little abrupt. Nothing hostile, just very direct and urgent. We later found out that Cathy is the owner, and it became clear very quickly that this place is her whole world. She works hard, moves fast, and runs on urgency. That energy can sometimes come off sharp, especially to visitors who aren't used to that local, no frills style, but we gave her the benefit of the doubt. There were moments throughout our visit where the tone felt a little rough around the edges, and it wasn't just with us, we noticed it with other tables too. It didn't feel personal, more like someone who is stretched thin and running on fumes. To her credit, there were moments where she self corrected, and I genuinely believe this was just a long day rather than bad intentions. Running a place like this day in and day out is not easy, and you can feel how much effort goes into keeping it moving. This review isn't meant to tear anyone down, just to be honest for future guests so they know what to expect walking in. What truly changed our entire experience and pushed this from a four star visit to a solid five was our server. Her name started with a T, she wore glasses, and she was African American, and she was an absolute blessing. She treated us with warmth, patience, and genuine care, like we were family she was looking out for. When we sat down and the table needed to be wiped, she handled it gracefully without a single awkward moment. Everything she did felt intentional and kind. She was attentive without hovering, respectful, and genuinely happy to be doing her job. There was also a sweet older Latina woman clearing tables who was just as lovely and welcoming. It became very clear that despite the different personalities, this place functions as a team, and the heart of High Tide lives in the people who treat guests with care and humanity. If you get that server whose name starts with a T, you are in excellent hands. Now let's talk about the food, because this is where High Tide really shines. The hash brown casserole is a straight ten out of ten. No exaggeration. Comfort food perfection. Crispy, savory, and absolutely worth ordering. The country style platter we ordered was also a ten according to my friend, hearty and satisfying in the best way. The lobster benedict was good, I would give it about an eight. It's a fun, unique option if you want to try something different, but not the standout compared to the rest of the menu. And then there's the real star of the show, the Key lime pie. Even if you are not hungry, come for the pie. This is hands down the best Key lime pie I have ever had. Perfectly balanced, not overly tart, smooth and almost cheesecake like in texture. It's the kind of dessert that makes you pause after the first bite because it's that good. Beautifully presented too. The decor is charming and thoughtfully cluttered in a way that feels authentic, not staged. The bathrooms are old but very clean. Parking is a little quirky but manageable, and there is parking available if you're patient. Overall, the vibe is cozy, memorable, and unmistakably local. Would I come back? Absolutely, especially for the food and that pie. Cathy, you are clearly working your ass off, and I hope this was just a rough day. This review comes with honesty and flowers, not shade. Five stars for the food, the heart, and the people who make this place what it is. I do recommend it. read more

The service was great! The food was really good. If you get the eggs Benedict ( I had fresh blue crab, it was amazing) or cheese on your grits, I would ask flor "light" or on the side. While the sauces were good, the food was exceptional and I'm not a fan of lots of sauce. My son did have the key lime chicken sandwich and he loved it! read more

Service was terrible. We were held up at the front door while a waitress carried on a conversation with patrons. Afterwards, we were told to just sit anywhere. We chose to sit at the (empty) bar. After waiting for 10 minutes and no one even giving us a menu or asking if we needed anything to drink we left. As we were leaving the waitress said to have a good day! I would also like to mention we have been here before and also had bad service and food. The place still appeared a little dirty. It appeared to be under new ownership so we decided to give it another try. Won't recommend or be back! read more

It was cold this morning - Florida cold, not Maine cold but we weren't ready so decided to go out for breakfast. I had seen High Tide a couple of times, and decided to give it a shot. It was soooo good. I know anyone who follows me will be surprised that I ordered the traditional eggs Benedict; and other than a bit too much hollandaise it was perfect - eggs done just right, ham was the right thickness and the English muffin was grilled. The home fries with onions were done perfectly - some of them came home for breakfast tomorrow. Wayne opted for the Chef's Omelette and the hash brown cheese casserole. They were both super decadent as was the grilled biscuit. The Chef's Omelette was full of chorizo, cheese, onion, peppers, mushrooms, kind of a kitchen sink. The casserole was an up charge but well worth it. Coffee was almost medicinal - it was so good and so necessary! Would love to go back and try the Key Lime pie. Our server was quick, awesome. The place felt like eating at home - but we didn't have to do the work.... read more

We heard this was a good local breakfast spot so figured we'd give it a try. We were greeted warmly and sat down at a comfortable table. We were told we could order from breakfast or lunch menus. We opted for breakfast. Hot coffee was pleasantly brought to table. The breakfast menu was extensive with lots of combinations. Our food arrived quickly and piping hot. My coffee cup never ran dry and the entire staff was pleasant and friendly. And a great breakfast for two for just about $30. Definitely a go to spot. Think we'll try for some comfort food at dinner After going to breakfast here on day two in Key Largo we opted to try dinner. Reminder this is not a fancy establishment but a down home make you feel at home place. Our morning waitress came in with what I assume was her two grandchildren. It appeared she likely is an owner. She immediately recognized us from breakfast and came over to say hello. I ordered a small house salad and a bowl of chili. The salad was excellent all fresh and crispy greens! Best I have had outside of home. The chili was definitely NOT out of a can but was homemade with fresh ingredients and great taste without overpowering spices and heat. The place has lots of fish choices and the prices are more than reasonable. My wife had the lobster bisque and found it creamy and excellent. A great homey establishment with 5 star food and great personable service!!!! read more

Came here because of reviews and skillets! My fave breakfast! I was not disappointed with my veggie subbed with cheddar instead of American cheese. Loads of veggies!

Amazing breakfast. Could have split. Alot of food.. Egg whites bacon and hash browns. Amazing. Staff incredible

Down home Florida ! Staff was so welcoming . Food was homemade . Desserts too key lime pie and muffins !

High Tide is Sunday brunch perfection! We suspected we were in for a treat when we saw the number of cars outside and had to park in an adjacent lot. To our delight, we were seated at the last available table and didn't have a wait. The service was so friendly and efficient. We truly enjoyed our meal and the whole experience. We both got a ham and cheese omelette with hashbrown casserole and biscuits. I also added a bowl of lobster bisque and was so glad I did. It was fantastic! The omelette was great but those biscuits... Wow! My grandmother would be proud of whoever made those biscuits! It was the unexpected bite of deliciousness that we needed! My mom loved the hashbrown casserole. It was rich, dense, and so cheesy. Don't pass on the newspapers up by the register. They have the old-school comics in them and make for great entertainment. I heard the muffins are also great, so I will try one next time. High Tide gives off a locals vibe with a lot of people greeting each other with hellos and handshakes, but they were also so kind to us as visitors. read more

Last Saturday with my honey. We got the crab dip in a bread bowl. I ate the bowl (mildly flavored sourdough?), my wife had the supplied crackers, and we polished that sucker off, so good! I had the Fish (mahi) Mediterranean with onion rings and loaded baked potato. All very good, I had to take about a quarter of it home. Had the Key Lime Pie, which was more strongly flavored than the one I had for lunch. Service was good, ambiance fair (our table looked out onto the Overseas Highway.) read more

If you are single in Key Largo, then the High Tide bar is a daytime place for making a new friend. I was pleasantly surprised at who sat down beside me at the bar. The counter service is fast, and the waitresses were friendly even offering me the local comics. The food is delicious especially for a casual, affordable meal. The ambiance is relaxing beach casual. read more

Exceptional place. We went after church one Sunday morning and it was already pretty full but we managed to get seating right away. FOOD: Delicious and big portions. I got an omelette with lobster and a hollandaise sauce with roasted potato chunks and onions and it was very delicious. I was impressed by the omelette because it wasn't just sporadic chunks of lobster, no, it was almost evenly distributed. I had lobster in every bite. My husband finished his food while I was halfway through mine. I've never seen him eat his food so fast. He said it was delicious. He had café con leche and although I didn't drink any, it looked so calming and the aroma was deliciously pleasant. I had this biscuits that were soft and fluffy, I've never experience that before. They had 4 different types of jam and I chose one that I've never seen before and that was apple flavored jam. It's safe to say that I got my unrecommended daily dose of sugar. Good stuff. My only complaint is that they don't have freshly squeezed orange juice, only from containers but everything else was so incredible that I'll let it pass. DECOR: It's the Keys so nothing is beautiful indoors only the outdoors lol. My husband said it had a diners vibe but I'm not too sure. It was nice though, nothing tacky, nothing rusted. They had a table outdoors next to a garbage can with a tent over it but that seem like an afterthought that was only done for people with dogs. And when we drove up there was a couple with a dog there. It was kinda isolated so I don't the attention and service would be great there, but if you have a dog and want to get a great meal then that's a great option. SERVICE: Service was good, there's definitely a sense of urgency which is very important to me. CONCLUSION: Definitely go here. Great food and portions were large. You'll leave here very satisfied. My husband that's from Chicago and avoids the sun and heat, really enjoyed the whole experience. He now says that this is his new identity! Thank you High Tide for doing what I couldn't!

Amazing food and service! All the servers are extremely attentive and the food came within 15 mins!

Realized I hadn't reviewed when we visited back two years ago and we lined up a revisit this year. High Tide isn't without competition in the area, and figured to see how it was now seeing Yelpers have given it a rating well above others. A point to judge was just on seafood sandwiches, of which they offer a $17 mahi (grilled, blackened or fried) but for a $1-2 more, they offer crab cake, coconut fried fish, and a key lime panko preparation. So a little more variety than the competition. Though there is a separate dinner menu, there is minimal markup on the same sandwiches at night. Lots of seating inside along with covered options outside. Great team service here. Posted in photos their take out menus since their website doesn't have prices. read more

Had a delicious lunch at High Tide's today. I had fried clams and fries, and the clams were not too chewy, so fresh, and fried to perfection. The fries are excellent also, with a very light, crispy batter. My daughter had fried Mahi and fries. It was the first time she's ever tried it, and I can't believe she cleaned her plate. I'd never tried Mahi fried, so I had a taste. It was better than I expected, but I prefer it blackened. Service was great. We were given a small paper to check out while we waited. It had some info on attractions, restaurants, etc., plus some funny stories. It was a great way to keep us occupied. The food didn't take long at all, and someone refilled our tea quickly when we needed it. I apologize for not taking pictures of the interior. It was cute and old fashioned. I'll probably eat here again during my vacay. read more
