“ Had the vegetable beef soup last night, outstanding, great service, and great food highly recommend. ”

“ A great local/hometown feel with some really good food and service. By no means fancy but fun and quirky. You're immediately greeted as you walk in and given the option to sit where you wish. A nice mix of locals chatting with the staff or other friends they ran into or like myself tourists looking for a nice place to have a great meal. Well I will say that I was not one bit disappointed. Jasmine, our waitress was friendly and checked in a few times to make sure things were good. I had the special of the day which was the Grouper Ruby. This was served with a salad, baked potato and veggies. As I was in the Everglades I washed it down with an Islamorada Citrus Ale. The grouper was cooked and seasoned well with that right off the grill feel. I made sure to leave enough room for dessert and was quite content with the piece of warmed up Pecan Pie, with whipped cream of course. I will certainly be back and not just for dinner as breakfast and lunch are also served. Enjoy! ”

“ Great value for the money. The food was delicious, hot and made to order. Service was friendly and attentive. We stopped here for lunch after an airboat ride which was amazing. Had the gator tail for an app absolutely delicious, it was so good we ordered another. Party of 7 for under $150.00. Love this place and will be back when in the area. Go check it out you won't be disappointed. ”

“ We arrived in Everglades City and went here for dinner. The wait staff was very friendly, considering it was a holiday weekend and almost closing time. We have burgers and fries, nothing to write home about. Thin patties, decent rolls, battered fries. Crab cakes were the same. Chicken fingers and fries were OK too. The real winner was the GATOR nuggets. Fries bits of gator. Super crunchy and yummy! And it was the only thing in town open for breakfast on Easter. We've been each morning and plan to go tomorrow because the breakfast is fantastic. French toast, sausage, waffles, bacon, white toast... ALL of it super yummy! If you are in town, definitely go here for breakfast! Over all, wonderful experience. ”

“ This place is crazy good! We ordered everything from the fried food (gator, fried pickles, fried frog legs) to pizza to burgers to grilled chicken tacos and it was all excellent. Very laid back, lots of locals, relaxed attentive service. Much better food than the pricier restaurants we tried this week. Thank you Island Cafe! You made our off season vacation excellent! ”

“ Excellent home style cafe with friendly staff, great food, and reasonably priced. I ordered their gator basket. It came out quickly, it was hot, chewy, moist, and delicious. Probably one of the best fried gator I've had. "Mimi", my server was polite, friendly, and on the ball. She came by several times to check on me and make sure everything was okay. I had to try their key lime pie because I she said it was really good, and it's a problem, lol. Anyhow, I ordered it, and she was right. I had a great meal and will certainly be back. Give them a try! ”

“ We stopped here for an early lunch on a weekday and found this place to be very charming and not crowded. There are cute little Knick knacks everywhere and our server was quick to take our drink order. The menu has lots of great choices and I settled on a Buffalo Chicken Bacon Ranch Sandwich with fries. The sandwich came nice and hot and was enjoyable. I love Buffalo chicken, but it often doesn't love me, but this wasn't too spicy so I enjoyed it. The sandwich was a good size and I didn't want to eat it all, but it was so good that I did. Our server was very attentive, but not Intrusive. Prices are reasonable for the area and I would absolutely return for a meal. ”

Entire staff is friendly and attentive. Food - Very Good. The menu is varied and has lots of popular entree and sandwich options. I had the Italian Sub, which came with a side of fries.

The quality of food and the great service makes this restaurant a go to place when in the area. ”
