When we walked in, I debated on whether or not to stay due to the numerous kids running around, yelling, crawling, squeezing between tables, etc. I realize that's not the restaurants fault per se, but there's no reason a manager can't tell people to get their kids under control. They were extremely busy, and the only way to get a... More

The lunch menu has the usual fare to be expected at an eatery in a seemingly dilapidated small coastal town – hamburger, grilled cheese sandwich, tuna sandwich, etc. Waitress eventually came around and rattled off a pretty extensive list of specials that bore no resemblance to the menu items. I had a bowl of the shrimp and lobster bisque. Very... More

What a trip! The servers were wo nice and the food (and beer) a real treat! You can sit outside at small tables and get personal friendly service with suggestions of what to order.

If you are looking for an authentic Cuban restaurant, then come to the Havana Cafe! I loved the Cuban sandwich, and the beer was awesome!

Stop here for excellent Cuban food. The cuban sandwiches were great and mahi mahi sandwiches were awesome.

If you can resist the several excellent seafood restaurants in Everglades City, drive on to Chokoloskee and the small Havana Cafe. It is definitely worth the extra 4-5 miles down the spit. Had lunch on a warm & windy Sunday, and the outside seating was perfect. Indoors seating is non-A/C & limited, but the extended patio under the trees is... More
