Bayside Gourmet

This place far surpassed most of the highly rated places in the keys. It was clean and affordable with great food. Honestly, this is the only place I found that I could say all three of those things. I was in the Florida keys with my kids and we stopped at many highly rated places that were just dark, dinghy and over priced. Bayside Gourmet is the kind of place we would hope to find on every island as we travel with kids and don’t want to question the sanitation and quality of the cooking.

Everything we ordered was awesome. We had the burger, a Hawaiian pizza, a Cuban sandwich and a spicy fish taco. Everything surpassed our expectations. We would eat here over and over again!

9pm on a Friday night. Not crowded at all.
Not good for large groups (anything over 2+ people). Limited amount of tables to accommodate.

Saltimbocca Pizza was delicious!
Lasagna has cheese option and meat options. Solid choice.

Always love coming here. I've tried tons of their dishes and I have yet to find soenthing that I didn't like. Their pasta dish portions are absolutely huge and are so flavorful. Always worth it. Their pizza is crisp, thin crusted. Service is always fabulous. Inside and outside dinning avaliable. Inside is always nice and cold. Great way to cool off.

Wow!!!!! This is the type of place I don't want to tell you about because it's so small and perfect. There are only 10 tables inside and you'll likely have to wait. Is it worth it? FREAKING YES. The service is attentive and kind. The pizza is the best we've had in the keys yet. The portions are huge and the prices are affordable! They have a free arcade to explore while you wait and the nostalgia all over the walls and shelves takes you back. Honestly y'all this is a massive hidden gem!!!

This pizza joint was recommended by friends and it did not disappoint. Great selection of pizza and pasta. Meatballs were delicious and our pizza was fantastic. The crust was the highlight. Crisp and perfectly toasted but with a good chew. Retro vibe with fun arcade games. Desserts looked amazing but we were too full to indulge. Nice wine and beer selection.

Great place. I was debating between 4 and 5, if I could would give them 4.5
The fish was fresh and tasty, the Ciabatta bread with the smoke fish dip, highly recommended. For my taste pizza was a little bland but still had nice flavor just needed a little more salt, and for the fish dip less oil.
Service, decoration and features and menu very nice.
I recommend to try good choice in this area

10/10 recommend starting the meal off with dessert (like we did) so that you don’t miss out!! Incredibleeee 🤤 great food! Dessert, Appetizers, then a pizza for two!!! You need to stop in for a bite whether it’s for lunch or dinner! Service was quick and staff was friendly and attentive!

Amazing little gem nestled in Islamorada! As locals, this is our favorite place by far! Amazing pizza, cold, crisp local craft beer, and free 80s arcade games! The owner can always be found in the kitchen, and it shows! Another delicious item is the meatball appetizer!

Great experience, will visit again! Best smoked grouper fish dip, waitress was very knowledgeable. She checked on our table and was great about refills even though we were the only table outside & they were packed inside. Gift shop had really unique items. The dessert pieces were huge! Don’t leave without trying the pasta salad!

I went to Bayside Gourmet for lunch to try the Grouper Reuben. This may be the very best fish sandwich in the Florida Keys. I got my grouper blackened for the sandwich which gave it tons of extra flavor. The fish was fresh and cooked perfectly so that it was juicy and flaky inside the sandwich. The cooked fish fillets are placed between two slices of marbled rye with sauerkraut, swiss cheese and their homemade thousand island dressing. The flavors meld together into one delicious bite after another.

I got the pasta salad as my side which I would also recommend. it is a unique pasta salad because they do not add mayonnaise, but the flavor profile is delicious and will keep you guessing on their key ingredients.

Be sure that you do not judge the restaurant by the outside as you drive by. I would not have stopped, but when you go in it is fully updated and very nice. The food is excellent and I wish I had more opportunities to explore their menu further.
