Our Guestbook
“ An oasis for spontaneous beach-goers and explorers where food, water, beers can be purchased. Also where credit card is accepted for beach umbrella and chairs rental (Cash only on beach. USD 25 for one umbrella two chairs, an amazing value compared to South Beach). Re food — Given this is a cafeteria located in the remote end of a state’s park, with a simple kitchen instead of a full kitchen, with fans instead of AC, public bathroom instead of private ones.. would recommend opting for fast food like dishes (hotdog, fried fishes/calamaries/chicken) instead of the meat/grilled fishes on the menu. Choose well and you will be happy :) Friendly and helpful staffs. A short walk to the beach. ”
“ Good food. Nice staff. Great surroundings. Come early at weekends for easy parking. ”
“ Surprisingly the food was really good! I got fish&rice and they got me a huge bowl of really delicious rice with soft and tender chunks of fish, also well seasoned! With side salad After I got full I took to go whole another meal of leftovers haha ”
“ During my unforgettable day at Key Biscayne National Park, basking in the sun and relishing the stunning beauty of Miami’s coastal charm, me and my wife dined at the Lighthouse Cafe. And let me tell you, it was an absolute highlight of the day! From the moment we stepped in, we were greeted with warmth and attentiveness by the incredible staff. The team at Lighthouse Cafe truly goes above and beyond to make guests feel welcome and comfortable. Their friendly demeanor and exceptional service made the experience even more enjoyable. The food itself was nothing short of spectacular. The variety on the menu was impressive, catering to all tastes and preferences. Everything I ordered was not only delicious but also incredibly fresh and of top-notch quality. The whole fried fish is just an absolute highlight. It’s clear that the cafe takes great pride in sourcing the best ingredients and preparing each dish with care. Whether you’re a local or visiting the area, I highly recommend stopping by Lighthouse Cafe. It perfectly complements a beach day spent soaking in the natural beauty of Key Biscayne. We left feeling completely satisfied and eager to return. ”
“ Went on the insistence of a family member and just the thought of the 45 minute drive had me going nuts. But decided to do it, drove to the Park which requires a 8.00 entrance fee (they do take card) and then you drive to the restaurant. At first I did not know what to expect as the menu was very lackluster. Immediately regretting my choice. But my wife ordered and my child ordered and I was still undecided until I saw a man enjoying his food with a smile and I asked the lady I wanted that. She said it was rice and fish (WHICH WAS NOT ON THE MENU, BTW). Let me tell you folks it was the tastiest meal I have had in a long time. My wife’s fish was very tasty too. My kids churrasco was amazing too. We left very satisfied and enjoyed the pleasant sea breeze that could be felt. Will return my server was very attendant too. ”
“ This little restaurant is very nice! Nice ceviche everrree! Have to try and leave a good tip, they will much appreciate. A little away, like 300 meters you will go there the best lighthouse of the hole Florida coast, heck the pics! ”
“ Enjoyed take away lunch here while at Bill Baggs. The grilled snapper sandwich was the standout with fantastic flavor that was cooked to perfection. Also had fish fingers which were thoroughly enjoyed. Friendly staff too. The order took only about 10 minutes during the lunch rush. We definitely weren’t expecting this from a small beach cafe! Steps away from parking and Bill Baggs beach. We’ll plan on lunch here going forward. ”
“ Fantastic restaurant located right off the beach. Their fish ceviche is probably the best I’ve ever had in my life. Full of lime and a generous portion considering it is an appetizer. The steak sandwich is also excellent and served on toasted Cuban bread. The sangria was delicious as well. Overall a great experience, I highly recommend this place if you’re looking for a bite to eat during your day at the beach. ”
