Our market is a hybrid convenience store, deli, restaurant, bakery and more. We love our customers and are anxious to please. Stop in for what we know will be a memorable meal or Boar's Head Cold cuts. PLUS THE BEST FRIED CHICKEN IN NJ!

Where do I start??? The staff and food at âTuneyâsâ (as the locals call it) make any wait that MIGHT be necessary, well worth the wait. If theyâre crowded itâs only because theyâre soooo good and everyone knows it. This is also the cutest little grocery store with many unique items, as well as whatever basics you need. The quality of food on the menu is so fresh and the homemade salads are to die for. The apple fritters and other pastries... OMG! I canât rave enough about Neptuneâs! Oh and if you want to make your own meals at home, make sure you buy the bone in pork chops. I guarantee you will say âthis is the most flavorful, juicy and tender pork Iâve ever had.â While youâre there, say hi to the owners, (who happen to be the salt of the earth and put theyâre heart and soul into Tuneys) Al and Teri, and the very talented and friendly staff, Joe, Amy, Chris, Jenn, Debbie D, Christina, and TJ. I wish we had you all in Islamorada. I'll start by thanking you for the kind comments. It is a pleasure to serve great guests like you. After a long, hard summer we now have some time to get to know all of you better.Thanks again from the bottom of our hearts!Teri and Al

During the summer months it's hard to find any good restaurant w/ out a wait. It's small but has a wide variety of items on the menu. My favorite it the quiche. Enjoy!

Have been wanting to try this place for a while now so we went on Memorial Day weekend. We were not disappointed in any way. Service was excellent and food was delicious. The night's halibut special was wonderful and my wife loved the burrata ravioli. Their lobster bisque is the best I have ever had! This is a byob but they do have some Working Dog wines available ( we love that winery so that was great). Although it is pricey, it's no more so than any other nice restaurant on the island. We will return.

Went here for breakfast with my family after reading great reviews on yelp. It's a small place with outside seating only, decorated in way that let's you know they don't mind having fun. Relaxing music plays and you get a good laid back vibe from the staff. However, maybe a little more attention to detail and type-a is needed around there...Our server was really brief with us as if she had something else to do (surely they were busy, but when I get "ok, so you saw the specials on the board outside? Ok great" it doesn't sit well). She did have time, however, to upsell my kid on a $4 side order of bacon (which never came out.) But back to the whole brevity thing - I asked about the sizzler, which I was looking forward to eating ("what toppings/ingredients can I order in a sizzler?") She pointed at the pancakes section of the menu and said anything there - so I ordered - and we waited...It wasn't terribly long but long enough - my plate was the last to come out and it wasn't a sizzler but it was 2 pancakes with the toppings I asked for. Being we waited for a while and just wanted to eat I didn't send it back. The pancakes we're delicious as were the other meals my family ordered. I'm only let down because I was expecting something really great and got good food but not so great service.Also, maybe it was just a bad day but there were a lot of flies

Delicious crepes, hash browns, and homemade hot sauce. They only take cash, but they have an atm. Very nice people, and a nice alternative to typical boring breakfast fare. They always have some interesting specials, too. We even took an order of fruit crepes to go, as a snack for later !

Mid week in June and this place was mobbed. We opted for outdoor seating on the counters, which was a good choice. Service was fast. We enjoyed the tuna nachos and garlic clams.

Love to come here for lunch and get a hoagie with their deli meats. Their sandwiches are really big. Half a hoagie feeds 2 people and a whole world feed 4. We also love to grill their burgers and sausage. The meat is so much better than any supermarket.

There's always a wait at this place and there's a reason for it....it's good. But they move fast, so you won't wait too long. They have a huge, varied menu, fresh squeezed juice, excellent service and outstanding Eggs Benedict. Our favorite is the one with the crab cake. It's one of the best breakfast places on the island.Thank you the Crabby Benny is a favorite! We can't wait to see you again!

Best Pancakes in my life! I recommend to get blueberry pancakes here. I enjoy them SO much I come here every time I go to the island. Fun atmosphere for kids, the pig mascot will go table to table to get family pictures. YOU SHOULD get here early so you donât get stuck in huge lines to get in. It will get crowded! FCC
