Experience Authentic Florida Keys Dining: Fresh Seafood & Historic Charm

Mangrove Mama’s is a celebrated culinary destination in Summerland Key, Florida, renowned for its fresh local seafood, succulent steaks, specialty drinks, and delectable desserts. Whether guests are indulging in a leisurely Sunday brunch, a mid-day lunch, or a delightful dinner, the restaurant delivers an unforgettable dining experience set in a laid-back, tropical atmosphere that embodies the spirit of the Florida Keys.

Steeped in a rich legacy, the restaurant occupies historic buildings constructed between 1905-1912 that once served as a rail stop and residence for Flagler’s “overseas railroad.” Over the past century, these structures have witnessed dramatic changes—from surviving the 1935 Labor Day hurricane and the transformative opening of U.S. 1 in 1939, to evolving through various eras including the cherished era of “Eddie’s Fish Basket” and a revitalization by Gary and Nancy Bell in 1979. Even after a change in ownership in 1988, Mangrove Mama’s has preserved its unique character while continually inviting both locals and travelers to share in its storied history.

The menu boasts 5-8 daily specials alongside a full array of offerings including favorites like the Cuban Reuben, Shrimp Giovanni, and the Black Angus Burger—with customizable add-ons such as extra cheese or bacon. With operating hours from Mon-Fri: 11am–9pm and Sat-Sun: 11am–10pm, plus a lively Happy Hour on weekdays from 3pm–6pm, Mangrove Mama’s is a perfect oasis for anyone in search of good food, great drinks, and unforgettable company. Join them at 19991 Overseas Hwy, Summerland Key, Florida 33042 and become part of their vibrant legacy.
