Robert is Here
Hot? Hungry? Heading towards the Everglades? You must - must! - stop at Robert is Here for a key lime milk shake (unless it's September or October, in which case you'll just have to stare longingly at the sign). This roadside fruit stand has local produce and a bevy of milk shake flavors. But it's one of the few places in the world where you'll find a key-lime-flavored milk shake, which has the perfect sweet-to-tart ratio and will have you perky and refreshed in no time.

JT’s Island Grill & Gallery
Just a mile or so past the edge of town, this awesome café-cum–art gallery sits in a restored 1890 general store. It’s outfitted with bright, retro furniture and piles of kitschy books, pottery, clothing and maps (all for sale). But the best part is the food (lunch only) – fresh crab cakes, salads, fish platters and veggie wraps, made with locally grown organic vegetables.

Flamingo Restaurant
Offers everything from eggs and bacon for breakfast to burgers or shrimp for dinner. And if you've caught your own supper, the eatery offers a 'fish service,' and will cook up your already cleaned and filleted catch. For after-dinner drinks, hit the Anglers Bar at the front of the restaurant.

Rosita’s
There’s a more working-class Mexican crowd here, testament to the sheer awesomeness of the tacos and burritos. In fact, Rosita’s tacos have been voted best in the Greater Miami area by the Miami New Times in the past; they were certainly tasty when we visited.

Seafood Depot
Don’t totally sublimate your desire for fried food, because the gator tail and frog legs here offers an excellent way to honor the inhabitants of the Everglades: douse them in Tabasco and devour them.

Farmers Market Restaurant
This restaurant’s as fresh and hardy as the produce in the next-door farmers market and its rural-worker clientele. It’s a bit bare bones on the inside, but the food will fill you up, and nicely too.
