Perched along the Florida Key’s stunning Overseas Highway, the Green Turtle Inn has been a beacon for locals and travelers for over 75 years. We offer refreshing spirits, inspiring local cuisine and good company after a glorious day on Islamorada’s pristine coastal waters. Our private porch is ideal for small group gatherings and our favorite table by the wine wall is ideal for a quiet dinner for two.
The Turtle “Rests” on Monday and Tuesday!
Wednesday & Thursday: 7am – 9pm

Our restaurants favor the “Keys Casual” lifestyle, so whether you’re a local or on vacation, we want you to be comfortable and enjoy a great meal with us. For men, shirts and t-shirts with sleeves are appreciated after 5 pm, we request that no tank tops be worn in the evenings. A resort-style bathing suit cover-up is appropriate for ladies. Shoes are required at all times; and yes, flip flops count!
Please note: The Green Turtle Inn, Kaiyo Grill and other Islamorada restaurants are particularly busy during high season, from January to April, and on weekends and holidays.
The staff at the Green Turtle, especially Elena, were absolutely amazing! My fiancé and I and our guest do not have enough great this to say about the food and service Green Turtle provided! They were involved and available every step of the way, helped with the cost of everything, and worked with us on last minute changes. They made our rehearsal dinner, wedding reception, and the morning after brunch so memorable it meant the world to us! The food is incredible! Highly recommend!
Green Turtle Inn catered my daughter's wedding on July 2, 2019. From the moment we went to Green Turtle Inn for a tasting in March to the wedding dinner in July, we knew we had found a very special place and group of people. The food was delicious, the service great. Elena, who handled our event, listened carefully to what we wanted and followed through with grace and efficiency. The two other staff members at our event were so caring and made sure we had everything we needed. Green Turtle Inn contributed to making my daughter's wedding extraordinarily wonderful. I highly recommend.
"I have been eating at the Green Turtle Inn for years. The food is consistently fresh and delicious. You can see the kitchen and chefs when you walk in. The scallops are seared to perfection and taste like they just came out of the ocean."
"This place is absolutely the best breakfast I have had, EVER! Splurge on the Lobster Benedict. You will not be disappointed. Also try the turtle bun. It was huge, fresh, and amazing! I would come to the Keys just to eat here again!"
"The Conch Chowder was delicious! Cobb salad with chicken was fresh and very good, as were the collard greens. I ate at bar. Service was excellent."
"If you are traveling down the Keys and are crossing Islamorada, a great stop for lunch is the Green Turtle Inn. When a place has been around for almost 70 years, they must be doing something right -- and they are! The wait staff is friendly and helpful. Well worth a stop!"

"The sticky bun is unbelievable -- and enough for two people. You have to try it. The building is beautiful, fresh, clean and new. Stop next door to explore the liquor store or the beautiful clothing."
"We made this our go-to restaurant for the final meal on our vacation. The service is wonderful and the food is beyond comparison. I had the best scallop dish, ever. Plus the desserts are fantastic!"
"We go to this place multiple times every time we visit Islamorada. They have the most delicious breakfasts with the nicest waitstaff. Shrimp and grits, eggs benedict, pancakes, etc are all delicious. And a great bar for Bloody Marys and Mimosas! Love this place!"
“This place has been here forever. My Dad ate there in 1950!! It is way updated and way upscale (for the Keys) and better than ever (says 88 yr old Dad). Great menu, beautiful renovation, excellent service. Our favorite place."
