Just returned home from a week in Key Colony Beach and had breakfast here twice. First time I stopped in by myself and sat at the counter. The service was great and the food was fresh, hot, and home cooked. I liked it so much I brought my husband and my son back the next day. I ordered the exact... More

Good place for breakfast before heading out on a fishing or snorkel trip. Quick service but the waitress we had was not very friendly....she was all business and all about getting the tables in and out instead of providing good service. More

Staying in hotel across the street went for breakfast one day and then went back every day after that! Gigantic fluffy biscuits with creamy spicy sausage gravy. . . The extra touch of sautéed mushrooms in the omelet . . . Perfect over medium with crispy bacon. And did I mention the thick slice of homemade blueberry bread grilled with... More

Good breakfast, fast service. Side of sausage was a little overpriced - 2 small patties for $3.25. More

Reviews made us want to wait and try this tiny restaurant... It was a bad decision. The rattled waitress was down right grumpy, food was slow to be served, and was nothing special. We later found The Stuffed Pig and the difference was "night and day". We won't ever go back here again. Why pay for rude service and below... More

This place is located Gulf side and you can't miss the yellow sign. They open early and I was there at about 4:45 am and the waitress opened early and said ahhh come on in honey and grab a seat. Think Mels Diner without Mel and you are pretty close. Nothing special just good fair priced food. Lots of locals... More

This place is always packed probably because its quick and delicious! Holly was our server and she was very friendly. I had bacon, egg and cheese on an everything bagel with a cup of fresh fruit and my boyfriend had french toast and a half order of biscuits and gravy. We were both very happy and full when we left...

Based on the many positive reviews, the Wooden Spoon was our breakfast destination the day we left the Keys. In reality, there is nothing special about this place - it's an average diner which attracts the locals - decent food but it's hard to really mess up breakfast if your short order cook can fry an egg. The service was... More

This is a greasy spoon breakfast joint with a wooden spoon deco theme. It was crowded and the service was a bit frazzled but the food came fast and was good with reasonable prices. More
