“Don’t walk, RUN AND EAT HERE! My son came from Philly to visit me and we came to Key West via the Key West Express. This place IS EVERYTHING! The hostess and the guy at bar both super welcoming and kind. A rooster walking through the restaurant caught us off guard, lol! But it made the place even more cool! My son had the jerk chicken sandwich. I don’t remember seeing him chew it… that’s how good it was! HE LOVED IT! I had the caprese… OMG! It made no sense how delish the food was! And it was unbelievably reasonable. I will sho nuff be back! 🔥⭐😊“

Only sad part is the breakfast menu is a little limited and it's more of a lunch and dinner menu and the atmosphere is super pool side but I don't think you could eat pool side unless at a table.“
