Key West Diner

We have been going to Key West Diner for over a year 2 – 3 times a week. Well our last few times the service really sucked and food was only mediocre at best. Well tonight is the final time we will be eating there. I orfered the beef stew that was on special and when it was brought to our table the waitress acted like the plate was hot. Well took the first bite and it was ice cold, so thought I would give it a stir to see if it was any better well it was barely luke warm.

Terrible service this morning from a place we so enjoy. Ordered two breakfast specials, simple right? Water and coffee. (Quite a delay being waited on) The first breakfast comes with ham, we Ordered the sausage links, still no water, we decided to just eat, the gravy was ice cold, send it back. The next breakfast comes with sausage patties, send it back, still no water? The third breakfast the eggs are runny, not over medium, we decided to eat, the water finally came? By this time we ran out of time. Ate some, took some home, left some. Maybe time to look for a new place.

Food is amazing, owner is amazing, waitresses are amazing. This is by far the best authentic diner in Florida!

Love the décor and the color of the place, very beach. My waitress was great, the food was pretty good but the hostess was extremely rude. When we walked in, we said hello and she just rolled her eyes to the side and said hold on. She asked if we wanted a booth or a table, we said it didn’t matter and she once again rolled her eyes and stated that it was our choice. We said booth and she shook her head and led us to her table. The entire time she kept walking past our table and gave us the side eye… it was to the point that I almost said something or was going to just walk out but I was asked not to. She needs to leave her attitude at home or find a different job if she’s so damn miserable. I’m kind of annoyed that I’ve recommended this place to people if that’s the attitude they had to deal with. I doubt I’ll be going back again even if the chicken lemon orzo soup is good.

Went for the first time this morning for a to go order. Service sucked they seated three couples that came in after me. Hash browns where nasty and they forgot part of me food. Call back to complain and the lady comment was what do you want me to do about it. Will never go back. The rye toast was good.

I’m bummed with this review but was once a regular stop for me has gone bad. Gave them 2 stars for previous experience but when I sit at the counter near the owner and get no service, 2 is generous. Waitresses won’t help each other out, so even though they knew I was there they ignored me. Followed up with bad, I mean stale/​rotten, turkey. Like I said I’m bummed I used to love this place but they won’t get another penny of mine.

Visiting from out of town and stopped for lunch. Excellent fresh food and great service. Highly recommend for casual meal.

Brought family from out of town here and the service was excellent! Friendly and clean and fun atmosphere. Quick service and great food and price. Great for out of towers and locals!

Every Saturday and sometimes Sunday we would come here for breakfast. It’s simple, delicious and the staff is always nice. Love the bright colors!

Went for a Sunday morning breakfast and ordered tea. Waitress brought a decaff tea bag and when I noticed it she that was all they had, I told her I didn’t want it and she said it tastes the same as regular tea. I said that she must not be a tea drinker to say that. She said she was and that the decaff was delicious. How does a diner run out of tea bags at 9:30 am? For me its like not having coffee.
Ruined my breakfast which was only average anyway. Eggs over easy, home fries and bacon. I had a better breakfast at Perkins and they give you two tea bags with a pitcher of hot water. We won’t be back for breakfast.

Friendly staff, nice home feel, and cute décor. I ordered the Sausage Gravy and my friend ordered the Corned Beef Hash. Rib Sticking and Delicious… I’m a Sausage Gravy Freak and this satisfied! Chef approved and recommended…

Felt like some biscuits and gravy so I when here, 3 biscuits split and potatoes $ 8.95 Side of sausage, 2 links fat ones, good $ 3.50 and a soda $ 2. Total with tax was $ 14.+
It was good, not the best I have had but IMO way over priced, I just had a much better breakfast out of town for $ 7.95 that included the sausage and 2 eggs without the potatoes and $ 1.50 for drink. Out the door for $ 10ish.
So food is good prices are high,

I had the Corned Beef Hash & was cooked well done like I requested. I thoroughly enjoy everything especially my 1 pancake.

Key West is one of the most underrated restaurants of Stuart. As you walk in it feels like a retiree enclave; hard to see anyone below 60 years (I bear no prejudice) barring the staff. But once the menu and specials come in front, it’s tough to make a pick with the variety. The food is tasty, good prices, perfect portions and best of all actually make most of their food. And if you have Bill as server then he’s one of the best I’ve seen; gives great recommendations according to your taste or mood as he knows his menu well apart from being prompt in his service. My favorites are many but the Basa Francais with Rice is my #1 and the Sausage Pepper Pasta would be my # 2 out here!

Well here I am again for my last time writing a review of this diner. I must say the food was always good when we ate there. Unfortunately the incident with my Service Dog went too far. In my last review I wrote about how the owner/​manager was very rude to me and questioned me about my Service Dog which is against the law to ask for certification. I made copies of the laws according to the ADA which I brought with me when I wanted to speak with the owner after this incident. I was not out to cause trouble but to inform him of why he was in the wrong so hopefully another patron will not be humiliated. I stopped by 5 different times, today being the last, and was told each time he was out or busy. Today I was told he had nothing to say to me. I find his attitude not only rude but condescending. He told the waitress it was his place, he could make the rules for it and I could now do whatever I want to do. It is difficult enough being disabled and this man has no compassion or let alone the intelligence to understand the laws. People eating here be forewarned. I hope nothing ever goes wrong with your meal and you need to speak with this man because he is very one sided and single minded. How he keeps his customers let alone his staff with this attitude is a mystery to me.

This place is definitely somewhere I would come back to. They had a HUGE menu. I dont quite understand why it was so big because it really made it hard to order. I was so split between sever items that I asked the server what his favorite was. He said the grouper sandwhich. I was very impressed. The grouper was very fresh and it was accompanied by some nice crspy fries. My server was very attentive and wouldnt let my glass go below half empty. This was quite a feat because he was serving 9 tables at the same time! The décor was very tacky, but I guess thats what I should expect out of a key west themed diner.

Nice comfortable little diner. Good sized menu with a page full of specials, including some Greek options. Beef stew was tasty, moussaka was good and the side salads fresh. Fairly priced, clean and attentive service. Will go back to try breakfast. Beer and wine only. Nice experience for a relatively late dinner.

What a find! We were staying at a resort nearby, and this place was outstanding. Our waitress Joan was very, very accomodating, checked on us often, and even reccomended some beaches to visit. And the food was fresh and clean, which you don’t always get at a diner. For example, I had one of the best Greek salads of my life, and a nice light homemade chicken orzo soup. We will probably go again in the next couple of days!

Restaurant is very clean. Staff is friendly, I was greeted right away by a smiling host and promptly seated. Waiter was friendly and quick but food was eh. I’ll give the plan another shot. Maybe I just had an off «special,» which is kinda surprising considering I got an Italian sausage sub…
Fries were great though.

Good Filling Breakfast.
Recommended by this Polish dude named Tommy, I just met, so we decided to try this diner.
I ordered some coffee, a side of bacon, corn-​beef and hash, plain bagel, and a cup of grits. Everything was good. The order of bacon was a good portion and I made a bagel bacon creamed cheese sandwich with it. The corn beef and hash was tasty and the coffee was spot on.
The service was excellent. The décor was a little kitschy with all its splashes of color and the mix mash of items hanging on the walls.
I definitely like the place and I recommend that you stop by. Remember to tell them that Dan sent you and Stay Hungry!
