On our recent trip to Islamorada, we stopped in for breakfast at the Green Turtle Inn. We had…read moreactually ordered delivery from here earlier in the trip, so we already knew the breakfast was going to be good. I ordered The Turtle Breakfast with eggs over easy, added an extra egg, sausage, and bacon, and swapped the toast for a side of biscuits and gravy. Everything was cooked perfectly. The bacon was thick-cut, salty goodness, the sausage was packed with flavor, and the biscuits were light and fluffy. The sausage gravy was some of the best I've had, rich, hearty, and loaded with flavorful sausage. Whether you're staying in Islamorada or just passing through, I highly recommend stopping by Green Turtle Inn for breakfast. It's a great way to start the day in the Keys.

This was our third time giving this restaurant a chance, and unfortunately, nothing has changed. We were seated, received our coffee right away, and then no one checked on us for about 25 minutes, even though the restaurant wasn't busy. What made the experience even more disappointing was watching every other table receive attentive service, water, and condiments without asking. We were the only Hispanic guests, and the difference in treatment was hard to ignore. Whether intentional or not, it left us feeling unwelcome. From the hostess to the servers, the staff was rude and unwelcoming. There are much better restaurants in the area where guests are treated with respect. We won't be recommending Green Turtle Inn or returning.

We then moved upstairs and grabbed seats at the bar. We ordered the peel and eat shrimp, calamari, and conch fritters. Everything was perfect and came out quickly despite the whole place buzzing. After two more mojitos, we moved to our table upstairs on the balcony. The views were amazing, and the live music on the beach made the whole experience even better. My wife ordered her go-to yellowtail "Lazy Way," which is a must. I had the stuffed whole yellowtail. Everything was excellent, and the portions were abundant. Oh, and did I mention the bread basket, complete with a mini loaf of banana bread! If you haven't been here yet, you need to add it to your list!

My friends loved watching the iguanas roam around outside in the parking area while we waited in our food. I ordered the poke nachos and they were amazing. The flavors were great together and the presentation was upscale. Only thing I would have done to improve them was to add a bit more poke itself on them. Otherwise 10 out of 10. My husband order the conch fritters. They were good. They were served with several options for dipping sauce. Although they also touted the best key lime pie in the keys we didn't get it. Maybe next time. This is a place I would stop back at just for the poke nachos. As an army mom I also loved that they were a veteran owned restaurant.

The fries are fine, the dessert is meh at best, the place is small, but none of that really matters because the burger was incredible. My wife also got the chicken sandwich which was excellent as well. The lady inside was super nice; she was the only person on staff so she was very busy but thorough whenever we talked with her. The place is located in a little strip plaza so it's easy to completely miss when you pull in. It's the kind of place you dream about while traveling: a little unremarkable, modest hole in the wall that you could easily walk right by, but has the best food you've ever eaten.

We later discovered it had also been featured on Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives. The staff were extremely friendly, and we were greeted right away when we walked in. It's a semi-quick-service setup--you order at the register, your food is brought to you, and you pay after you've finished. We ordered the wings and burgers, and both were delicious! Overall, it's a great spot for a quick, casual lunch with friendly service and tasty food.

Maybe even again tonight!

In a word, overrated. There was a lot of hype around this restaurant from locals and others who…read morerecommended. When we arrived it was mostly disappointment. We arrived and it was an awkward welcome from the hostess and the staff; lots of rules where to park and how to order water and having the party together to sit down. Our server was friendly and welcomed us and took our cocktail orders. The bar is unimpressive, the cocktails were mediocre to below average and the orders were simple. Negronis and Old Fashioned should be well executed at a steakhouse, not the case here and the cherry in the old fashioned was neon pink like a dive bar. We switched to wine and the wine list is impressive and there are some values on the menu. Appetizers were mediocre at best. Lobster bisque, as others have shared was a miss. Shrimp Islamorada was average and the breading was soggy. Tomato basil was good. Entrees were good - fish, steak and lobster dishes were good. The sides were unimpressive and lacking in flavor. Dessert was a miss, house made key lime pie tasted store bought and the crème brûlée was inedible. The price for the meal was typical of a high end steak house, the experience and meal was something far different and can't recommend to others.

The Ahi nachos were absolutely delicious. Tuna could have been cut smaller for easier nacho-chip-piling, but the sauces were really good and the tuna was fresh and tender. Baby back rib grilled cheese was also very tasty. We ordered the seafood tortellini and the scallops had a *very* fishy smell and flavor that just kind of tainted the whole dish. Breakfast was meh. Everything was lukewarm, including the coffee that was self-serve and tasted old/bitter. Toast wasn't warm enough to melt the butter they added. Eggs were cooked perfectly (I always order over medium and 90% of the time they aren't cooked properly, so I was pleased with this). One waitress for the whole place and she was impressively efficient. If you're staying at the resort, it's a reasonable option for breakfast on your way out or a sandwich on your way back in for the day. Otherwise there are SO many great restaurant choices nearby.
