The Cabbage Key Inn Restaurant is located on a little island with no cars, and not even a single paved road. This historic restaurant sits up on an Indian shell mound, giving it excellent views of Pine Island Sound. If you've never been to this island restaurant in Florida, add it to the top of your bucket list.
The entire island is a secluded paradise, only accessible by boat. This is Old Florida at its finest, and it's impossible not to feel relaxed here.
Walk inside, and you'll quickly realize how unique this historic restaurant is. There are several areas to choose from, including a bar that has been serving this area for more than 60 years.
The whole restaurant exudes rustic charm. In the bar and formal dining room, there are beautiful Cypress floors and working fireplaces. Replicas of game fish, antiques, and photographs showcasing the area's history decorate the walls.
In the main dining area, the walls and ceiling are covered with thousands of dollar bills, signed by past visitors. If you ask your server for a marker, you can sign your own dollar bill and leave your mark as well.
The open-air main dining room looks out on the water and lush tropical trees, covered with moss and flowers. It really is a spectacular view for nature-lovers.
The menu is full of delicious seafood, sandwiches, and burgers. Don't forget to end your meal with a tasty and refreshing slice of frozen Key lime pie.
