Great Restaurants in the Keys
 
We're heading to Hawk's Cay Resort in two weeks. We're flying into Miami then driving down. I'd appreciate recommendations for good restaurants in the Keys. We plan to take the week to explore the whole length of the Keys.

My personal favorite is Mangrove Mama's at mile marker 20 or so. (Hawk's Cay is about mile marker 57) Eclectic is the key word here! But seafood is fantastic.

Even if you DON'T like pizza, make sure you visit No Name Key Pub - just before the No Name Key bridge on Big Pine Key.

I would second "Postal's" recommendations.

I would also include The Square Grouper, located on Cudjoe Key around the 22 mile marker if you are going to head into Key West. Great food and great atmosphere.

Enjoy your trip! We will be in Summerland Key for the month of June. Can't wait! :D

Pierre's in Islamorada is beautiful and marvelous - but not for kids. Morada Bay, right next door, is also wonderful. It's on the sand so the kids can run and play while you have a grown up dinner (you can also have a relaxed grown up dinner w/o kids). If you have a long wait for a table, you can head over to World Wide Sportsman and look around for a while.

Another vote for Mangrove Mama's and No Name Pub. Another plus is that they are very reasonably priced.

Morada Bay is fantastic---really the ideal Keys restaurant: fresh, festive and fun.

The brunch at Cheeca Lodge is also great if you are there on a Sunday.

Seven Fish in Key West was great. It's tiny, so make reservations.
