We'll be traveling to Key Largo for three days. Interested in knowing what the best restaurants are. We enjoy a more upscale but casual place, preferably with a water view. Also, any good breakfast spots? We'll be staying at the Grande.

we stayed at the Hungry Pelican....it's not much too look at..but right west of it is a small restaurant that has THE BEST key lime pie...their breakfast was good also....now if you rented a car...you have to go to Alabama Jacks. It's kind of a biker/parrot head place right on the water....

neither of these are upscale...but were good

Wow Hungry Pelican and Key Lime Pie. I haven't been back there since 1999. Thanks for the memories.

Hi beth,

for the best seafood in that area, The Fish House is it. Try their house specialty fish "matecumbe style". Oceanside, near the Grande, but not sure of the MM.

On/near the water is The Buzzard's Roost/ Look for the big buzzard sitting near the turn off. Also Oceanside around MM 106.

Harriet's (breakfast)get here early, the place fills up quick!

I agree with crazyb1. If you are driving take Card Sound Road and stop in Alabama Jacks (open daily 11 am- 7 pm). They have the best conch fritters in all the keys. . .and we've tried them all.

How about all you can eat stone crab claws at Ballyhoos?
