Welcome

Welcome to my blog, Bev's Guide to the Florida Keys. While I don't consider myself an expert, my husband, Ray and I have been visiting the Keys every year (sometimes more than once a year) for over 20 years. My intention is to tell you of my experiences in the places we've lodged, eaten, boated, endulged in libation, or simply relaxed. You can make up your own mind whether or not to heed my suggestions.

I'll try to provide as much information as I can in regard to contact info, what the bathrooms are like (ladies you know it's important to you), parking, and customer service. So read on all you Conchs and Parrotheads and please leave comments about whether or not one of my posts was helpful or if you have any suggestions.

Harriette's Restaurant

Specializing in breakfast and lunch, Harriette's Restaurant is a cute little yellow place located on the highway, bay side at MM 95.7. Their portions are huge - I guess that's why they charge extra for sharing! Voted "Best Breakfast in the Upper Keys," Harriette's is celebrating it's 30th year in 2015.

Their menu consists of omelets, eggs, creamed chipped beef, homemade muffins and an assortment of side items. Ray and I had breakfast there and it was yummy. Ray ordered a ham and cheese omelet that came with a huge biscuit and jam. He also treated himself to a hash brown that was fried to golden perfection. I ordered a veggie omelet that boasted an abundance of red and green peppers, tomatoes and onions, as well as fresh baby spinach - it was truly delicious. We had our choice of white, wheat, rye or raisin bread. We haven't eaten lunch there, but have been told that their conch chowder is famous around town.

The staff was very friendly and efficient considering the smallness of the place. We liked it and didn't mind that the closest table was within the stretch of an arm. It feels like a locals joint. 305-852-8689. There is ample parking to the read and side of the building.
