👍👍 Unbelievably good BBQ, especially for the price. Didn’t catch the gentleman’s name at the counter who served us, but he was extremely friendly/amiable. He even gave us a complimentary cookie for dessert. If he sees this, please put a bigger sign out front! We passed by on our bikes while looking for...

Kermit's Kitchen Cafe - Key West
Breakfast restaurant
👍👍 This was our last stop in the Keys to try their Key lime pie. It was OK, but not the best in the Keys. The mahi mahi sandwich and coleslaw was fresh and tasty. Fruit cup for a side choice was really nice. The atmosphere was nice with a koi pond.

CD Anchor Food Truck Sigsbee
American restaurant
😠 I must say… I can’t speak for any of the other food but those French fries… they need work. They nearly killed me. It tasted like it went through the washing machine, or got boiled in water, or were made of play dough, or it was left out in the rain, or microwaved with no paper towel over it, or got...

RockHouse Live Key West
Restaurant
👍👍 While in Key West for the day - the live music bought me in. Angela was my bartender. I told her what I like to drink and she recommended the house margarita and insisted I would love and I DID. She was very polite and friendly. Although I didn’t order from the other bartender he also appeared frien...

Yahman's Authentic Jamaican Jerk Shack/Sweetest Knights
Jamaican restaurant
🫤 Located inside a meal prep business. After seeing food sitting in a warmer started to leave but I didn't, should've. Had chicken, ribs, and pork, wouldn't recommend any of it. Food was dry and bland, bbq sauce was pretty good. Would not return.

👍👍 A really elegant and chic, white tablecloth setting by the docks. The restaurant is situated in the upper floor area of one of the dock-front restaurants. The whole dock is full of food places and has a real buzzing energy. The candlelit ambience and old ship style interior decor creates a great set...

The Kolache Kitchen - Key West Duval
Restaurant
👍 Really great tacos! Some of the best I’ve had down here. However the menu was a little misleading; chicken lunch taco with two tortillas sounds like a lot more than one taco. 5-6$ for 1 taco is pretty steep. Probably wouldn’t pay that much again
