Barbeque Restaurants in Key West

“Being from Canada we were looking forward to trying this little quirky restaurant on a boat . Ribs and brisket were excellent and best baked beans I’ve ever tasted. Apparently missed the neighbour hood manatee who lives in the port . We would definitely visit again !“

“We are from Canada and were traveling to Key West to check it out. We needed a snack break. Sat on the patio. Server was attentive. Drinks arrived soon with a bowl of water for the dog. Ordered Burned Ends and Wings to share. Orders arrived quick. Food was very hot and very tasty. Portions were a good size. This is our first Florida BBQ. A little on the sweet side compared to Texas but par with the Carolinas, the Virginias and Georgia. It was pleasant to be able to smell the smoke while dining. A first class operation in our opinion. We would be back often is we resided in the area.“

“So 32 years ago today, my girlfriend and I met friends in Key West, Florida. My friend had signed me up for a Jalapeno eating contest for that night. It was Cinco de Mayo. We walked in and it was packed. There were cockroach races and the long ice statue used for sliding shots down.
We ordered thermo nuclear wings and rounds of beer to get ready. They're were 6 contestants including these two tall blonde guys from California and their gfs on each arm. Then the young guy that works at the bar too. The prize was $25 and a case of beer. We were told they were while pickled Jalapenos. First we could use a beer to down them. Nope.

I met a couple from Boston who were rooting us on... I was first and after a shot of Tobassco, I ate 13 whole Jalapenos. After I was done, I looked around and the two tall guys were gone. It was down to 4 people. The guy at the bar went and supposedly ate 13 1/2 Jalapenos! I lost. My friend was irate and to calm the crowd, we got free rounds of drinks and Merch.

I then went outside and after the woman moved off the dock area, I got on one knee and proposed. She said Yes. We walked back inside, the band stopped playing and announced we were engaged. More drinks and it was 9:30 pm. We then went to Duvall Street all night and ended up in the Hogs Breathe Saloon at 2 am. We drove to Sarasota the next day and my stomach was fine. We took an airboat in the Everglades on the way. Memorable to say the least“
