Our group stopped off here for food and refreshments. Although the place was very busy, service was fast. Ordered from the happy hour menu and enjoyed mahi street tacos and shared a pork rind app. All of the food was hot, fresh, and tasty. read more

**Pre Hurricane 2024 season visit review. So our experience here was pretty good. The server was really nice and friendly. He was able to get our drinks and pizzas out to us quickly. But it also felt like maybe he was the bartender as he would disappear for a while, helping people at the bar before remembering to come out and check on his tables. Not too much of issues since it wasn't too busy and we were just relaxing anyway. There were one or two times that we felt a little neglected needing refills though. 02.03.2025 read more

Big Cheezees Pub & Grub - Dinner!!! 27.07.2024 - Pubs Near Me - Key West, Florida

Stopped in for a college game day afternoon the other weekend. The game was on all tv's and everyone around was into it. Our server was quick to come by and quick to replace our drinks. We ordered queso and chips and later had a bbq chicken pizza. The small was perfect for the two of us and was surprisingly good. Crust was nice and crunchy and lots of cheese and caramelized onions. We definitely recommend this spot on a game day! Go Blue! read more

Big Cheezees was recommended to me by a regular tourist to Key West. She recommended a couple of other places too and was spot on. I visited this place during the week, for happy hour. Half off drinks 3-6pm, and the place was not crowded. Easily got a seat at the bar. I was promptly asked for my drink order, and it was brought....but nothing was asked if I want to order food or see a menu. I thought that to be strange. Anyway after I finished my beer, the bar tender asked if I wanted another? I did, and asked for a menu which was brought to me. I ordered the Smashburger, which was recommended from the regular tourist I met on the trolley. It was served up quickly and came with a healthy order of fries. Both the burger and fry were delicious! Also a group next to me ordered pizzas which looked very good as well, maybe something to keep in mind for next time. This is a very nice establishment. Next time I'm down this way I will be back. read more

EAT HERE!!! This restaurant has been around about a year and I'm definitely glad they decided to set up shop just around the corner from the hotel I stay at when I Come down! First of all.. HUGE shout out to the two bar tenders we had over the MULTIPLE times we ate here.. Scotty and Paul. They are both stellar human beings and amazing at their job! We ate here multiple times and can't even remember everything we ate, but the drinks were strong and the food was totally worth it! Hit them up for happy hour for some pretty good deals. Personally, I enjoyed the fresh, home made pork rinds on multiple occasions, but you'd better finish them there.. if you take them with you the Florida humidity will do them in pretty quickly :(. If you're looking for a great atmosphere and good food at cheaper Key West prices, this is definitely the place to go!! read more

Kitchen was closed at 9:53 even though it says on website "kitchen closes promptly at 10" Last I checked that left us time to order. Drinks were fine, bartender a little surly. Oh well, Mac and cheese bites another day I guess. read more

The server at the bar was awesome. Very friendly. We went twice this trip and both times got the Smashburger. One of the best I have ever had. The bar has the feel of a tropical island. Lot's of locals come here. read more

Once again this place knocks it out of the park. The Zippy bread in my opinion is a hidden gem. Multiple people saw it brought out to me and asked what it was. It is amazing in every way. The smoked ribs were so tender and flavorful, the dry rub keeps in the moisture and the meat is perfectly cooked, I could smell the smokiness on my hands the rest of the night. This place is such a great vibe, plenty of TVs showing any sports you want, they even had old school Baywatch playing! Young Jason Mamoa! The bartenders are genuine and cool people, will have a chat with you when it's not busy. And they have awesome live music here. Whether you're a local or tourist, this place is an absolute triumph for Key West. read more

Quick delivery, and on point. Excellent salads and wings and major servings. Thank you! read more

Recently opened they had a limited menu. They were smoking some great looking slabs of meat but they weren't ready for us. It's a nice open atmosphere off Duval. On this visit they weren't too busy but busy enough so you had to wait a bit to get someone's attention even while sitting at the bar. read more

The best burger and beer in Key West without a doubt. Service is AMAZING, always friendly and never an empty glass! Highly recommend!!

Service is always mediocre. They are never that busy and never a full bar. Bartenders are slow and kind of out of it. One time a bartender gave me my check three times. Another time I asked about the tequila special and the bartender says we don't have it now it's only during games. I proceeded to look at the TV and I said well there's a game on. He goes "oh". Food for the most part is good. Wings are done pretty good. B+. They do have some good specials however, onion rings are way too over battered. The place does have potential and as a local, I want to support them, but I would be going there a lot more if service improved. read more

This restaurant was recommended to us by our seaplane pilot, Britt. We were looking for pizza and snacks after a full day at the beach and this place did not disappoint. The pizza was tasty and hit the spot! read more

Painfully slow and inattentive service. Food came, server didn't check for several minutes which is when we could ask for silverware to come with it. Asked for a box, 10 minutes passed. We had to go find him after he'd been to the tables nearby without stopping at ours so we could get the check. Experiences like this make me appreciate good servers all the more. Because this place was not a good experience. read more

After I canceled flight and long day, we ordered pizza to be delivered to our room. We ordered pizza and fries and only received pizza and the pizza order was wrong. Very frustrating for a $40 pie! read more

Awesome comfort food and huge portions. Always great staff. Can't wait for the pizza oven to get going. Best pizza in town. Hopefully it tastes the same as the last location they had. read more

Great food and very attentive service. Would definitely come here again. Chicken tenders are very good

Service and atmosphere were amazing. Smoked Wings were a little dry for my taste, but the sauce was great, flaming honey garlic, and made up for them being slightly overcooked. Also had 2 Miller light drafts, which the bartender offered in a frosted mug, which was a nice touch considering the heat. Speaking of the heat, the place has enough fans, ventilation and shade to keep you cool. The large windows make you feel like you are hanging outside no matter where you are sitting. In addition, they do have outside seating in the front. It's a spot worth stopping for some beer, food and people watching. read more

Best sports bar in Key west!! Shhh the owners don't want you to know it's a sports bar.

Our service was outstanding. I have to say I got the recommendation to go here by pixie who was bartending at hero's bar. She was spot on telling us to try the smash burger, hands down one of the best smash burger I've had and it was a special on Wednesday. read more

Wish I would have found this place sooner!! Staff is amazing, food is bar food; but still good! Laid back atmosphere with drinks and cold beer. Would definitely come back. Atmosphere is a typical bar, but it is family friendly and just a great place to relax, have a drink (or two) and eat. Definitely will return when back in Key West!! read more

I am a local, I live half a mile from Big Cheezes. The food, if and when you get it, is pretty good and pretty cheap during their happy our special. Which makes people want to go. However, you will notice it is empty inside during happy hour, why is that when their happy hour and food is so good? It's because the people who work there literally ignore you. I came here twice, my first time I came in at 4pm for happy hour and there was about 10 people in there and 4 workers. I got my food at 5:30pm, some tacos, pretty tasty and cheap but waited an hour and a half and no one was in the place. Couple next to me complained that they had been waiting over a two hours for a pizza. My total was $20 and I tipped $4 (20%). Second time I went in at 4pm, sat at the bar and waited with my wife. Bartender kept walking past us, i waved and tried to say hello but he ignored me, like literally looked me in my eyes then kept walking past me without talking. My wife was very upset we were sitting for nearly 30 minutes before we got up and left... went to Bagatelle down the street and the place was PACKED, but we were seated within 5 minutes, ordered within 30 seconds of sitting, and our food came out literally 5 minutes later. 10 minutes from time we walked in to the time we had our food at Bagatelle. Went to Boathouse the next day for happy hour, same thing, walked in and had food and drinks in front of us within 10 minutes. I hate saying negative things about local placed as a local, but Big Cheezes needs all of their servers/bartenders fired and new people hired who actually want to work and not just watch tv while patrons wait... read more

This is usually an easy 5-Star place. The burgers here are the best, juiciest and messiest (in a good way) I've ever had! The pork rinds and cheese curds are incredible as well. However, on this occasion, they were out of shrimp but didn't notify our waiter for 30 minutes after he placed our order. My burger was also delayed because of this. There is no excuse for this...ever! Our waiter made the most amazing drinks and was very apologetic, even though it wasn't his fault. A year ago the chef came out in person because he took such pride in his burger masterpiece, and I told him what a work of art it was. Not sure what's going on back in the kitchen these days! read more

Waited almost an hour for one pizza. Owner came out to say the original pizza was ruined and he won't serve it so he made another. Maybe that's true maybe not. The waitress was very nice and got our meal on the house. Won't recommend read more

Food is amazing. Best happy hour in town and OMG the pizza. Perfectly cooked. Crispy cheesy gooey goodness.

The pit beef is great. Great specials. Nick Brownell plays Friday nights. What more could you want?

The French dip gets better Everytime I order it. The pizza is the best on the island. The pepperoni is crispy and delicious read more

Big Cheezees Pub & Grub - Margarita with no lime or sour mix - Pubs Near Me - Key West, Florida

Very disorganized. I gave them an address with the room number but according to the driver he had no room number. I also asked for the driver to have change for a 20 to give him a tip. I gave him a 20 and asked for 15 back on a 22 dollar bill (more than 20 percent) he said he only had 14. When I counted it it was only 11!!! Scamming me of another 4 dollars. Don't trust anything they do or say!! read more

Rolled in for a quick lunch recently. The smash burger was on sale - and boy was it delicious! Would love to go back and try their pizza too. Staff was friendly, knowledgeable and efficient. A good experience. Plus, enjoyed the music videos! read more

We loved Big Cheezees Chill and Grill on White Street.... AWESOME American pizzeria-style pizza...tonight we went to the new location on Southard- Pub and Grub at 4:30 pm... not very good seating options for those families going for just dinner. They had no printed pizza menu tonight, and we had to ask whether they had certain toppings or not, what sizes they still had, etc... After ordering, we waited 45 minutes+ for our two pizzas and zippy bread, then had to ask the waitress how much longer it was going to be. We ended up asking for the order to go because of how long we had to wait and having two kiddos (family of 4) getting hungry and all of us getting impatient. Pizza was GREAT, staff was pleasant and fine, but wait was horrible. We will order again, but will call in and pick up to take home, read more
