Outdoors at the bar and food came fast as we had the attention of a very professional barmaid. Great ambiance with live music and the various banter and chickens roaming the area. The Shrimp & Grits, probably the most well seasoned and flavorful I have in a very long time. Eggs Benny with a good thick slice of smoked ham was prepared as advertised with two proper poached eggs. Unfortunately the Hollandaise sauce was tasteless and lack that zesty punch and was served very sparingly. Overall would go back. Great cup of coffee and tasted like fresh squeezed OJ
A must visit in Key West! Highly recommend making an early breakfast reservation. The line was out the door as we were leaving around 9-10am on a Saturday. Love the ambiance of the trees and the chickens. I ordered an omelette with a side of banana bread. Some of the best banana bread I've ever had and you can smell it baking while you're seated. I appreciated that my omelette was cooked just right. Our table finished the meal with one of the key lime pie slices. Highly recommend sharing because they're huge. I wasn't big on the meringue but the rest of the pie was delicious.
We went to Blue Heaven after hearing about indulgent brunch and some of the best key lime pie in Key West. One out of two was correct. The brunch was delicious. Both Husband and I ordered the special omelette, with lobster, bacon, and tomato. The dish was rich and delicious, with an entire lobster tail and plenty of bacon. To top it off, the omelette was accompanied by a slice of banana bread. We were not impressed by the key lime pie. Although the pie looks impressive, topped by a huge mound of meringue, it tasted a bit stale. Its consistency was heavy, and the meringue flavorless. Don't let the pie, however, stop you from going to Blue Heaven. The brunch is great service is friendly, and you can't beat the atmosphere, eating outdoors with the chickens and artwork. Tip: arrive early to avoid a long wait.
A friend who has a home in Key West recommended this place. Said it was a must visit spot. Once I visited, she was very correct. She warned me that either you get there early or there may be a bit of a wait. We arrived around 9am, and there was about a 30 min wait. We had a table for 4, if you were waiting for a table of 2, the wait would be longer. The nice thing is there is a little bar/coffee shop across the street with seating. You can order while you are waiting for your table. The place does only take cash though just a small note. You are seated outdoors and surrounded around trees. It is so beautiful and so Key West. The food was amazing. They are known for their lobster breakfast items. I had Lobster and Grit. In my mind I was thinking little diced up lobster but no, it is a full lobster on top of grits and it was amazing. Brunch pricing is reasonable. I was also told they have the best key lime pie, while Its not really my thing, I imagine it is because it is huge and takes up an entire plate! This is totally a spot you need to try to get into if you are in the area.
Read online that this was a must visit in key west and have to agree. The set up is nothing fancy - plastic chairs under umbrellas. It is pleasant ambiance still with lots of trees and shade (and chickens haha). Service was a bit slow but our server was doing it all - making drinks and had a huge section to tend to. She was super helpful and friendly though so no problems there. All the food was absolutely delicious. The vegetable platter was super flavorful. Loved the portobello "steak". Our server recommended the banana heaven and as a banana lover it was sooooo good!
First authentic key lime pie. I wish I would have done some research before I came to key west for what's the best and what's a tourist trap, but it was too late. The key lime pie was good! I enjoyed it. I always thought the cream on top would be more of a cream rather than what it was.. I dont know not my fave! But good overall!
Fantastic restaurant. I went for the first time ~10 years ago, and today's visit was just as good. The winning dish at the table was the special of the day- surf n turf eggs benedict (lobster and steak), but everything was delicious. The key lime pie is definitely a good one, but beware, the entire top ~4 inches of the pie is just a merengue cream. I don't particularly care for cream so i slice this part of and enjoy a much thinner layer of key lime pie. This is a good balance of sweet and tart, but I wouldnt say it is the best I've ever had. Pro tip: expect a wait of anywhere between 45 mins on a monday at noon, to 2.5 hrs on a Sunday for brunch. Plan accordingly. They have a shop across the street where you can order drinks while you wait, but this also gets pretty packed.
We had a great experience here, even if it did happen during a record-breaking downpour! The umbrellas outdoors held up pretty well I will say! Our waiter was amazing. Food was also wonderful. The key lime pie lived up to everything I heard about it! If there's a wait, there's a bar right across the street you can wait at. The bar is cash only, just a heads-up. So many great dishes to choose from! Everyone loved what they ordered. Definitely a must when visiting the island! read more

I mean. The weather was perfect and the staff is awesome. I have no idea how they are allowed to have 100s of chickens roaming around, but I kinda dig it. You know the chicken salad is gonna be fresh........... J/k.... The lobster grilled cheese was great and local beer - Crazy Lady, was delicious... Go there, have a beer and chase some chickens. read more

Gone viral on tik tok so when near had to check it out. Walked right in with a few roosters and sat at the bar. Grabbed a mimosa and breakfast. Bacon was perfect. Banana bread was delish. Pricey for two mimosas and basic breakfast. $78 for one. Be prepared. read more

We liked the atmosphere ppl and employees the bar tender was super nice and we tired the key lime pie and it was good but every place is a bit different so it's hard to say which one is the best or has the best in the keys but come try it guys for sure it's good. read more

Very cute restaurant with large covered outdoor seating Seated a few minutes after putting name on list Food was good but not amazing but might has just been what I ordered (fried eggs, grits, bacon and pancakes) read more
First morning in Key West in January and counting my blessings to be out of the cold up north and enjoying breakfast with roosters running around the table. Seems normal. Ordered lots of black coffee along with a My Favorite Omelet from the menu with add ons of mushrooms and onions and a side of a slice of Betty's banana bread. All of the food and drink items were delicious. Service was too notch and the atmosphere was carefree and tropical. We also enjoyed a high spirited ping pong match at the outdoor waiting room area across the street from the Blue Heaven establishment. There was also some great classic rock music provided by a live musician on the bandstand nearby. A definite party atmosphere seemingly 24/7. Good times! read more

Fun spot for friends and live music. It's a really cool ambiance. Just not my favorite compared to other meals. Banana bread was the highlight. Lobster grits were pretty good. Key lime pie looks cool but isn't as good as others. read more
I visited this restaurant based on a recommendation and I'm glad I was able to try it prior to leaving Key West. After about an hour wait we sat at the bar. The bartender was super friendly and talkative. She made great drinks as well!! I ordered beef tenderloin Benedict and key lime pie for brunch. The food was good and quite filling. I wasn't impressed with the pie but I can see why others like it. The decor is eclectic and relaxed. There is a lot of history in this restaurant. I loved exploring the upstairs dining area that served as a brothel when Hemingway lived in the area. They also had live music for a bit. You won't be disappointed experiencing this restaurant if given the opportunity! read more
Great walk to Blue Heaven. Checked in and the wait for two persons was 1 hour and 15 minutes. Walked across the street and had some breakfast drinks...while we waited for our table. The wait ended up only being 30 minutes for "first available". The service was amazeballs, Thank You Sarah ! The food was top notch, Thank You Chef. read more
Blue Heaven is quickly becoming a regular dining establishment for us when in Key West. The service is always amazing, the atmosphere is quintessentially Key West, and the food is outstanding. There is nothing like dining under the tropical backyard atmosphere with chickens and roosters "roosting" overhead. The live music is always great without being too loud or overwhelming. I ordered the yellowtail snapper which was melt in your mouth delicious. It was hands down the best meal I had all week. We also had the bbq shrimp as an appetizer and it was fantastic. The bbq sauce was so unique and just simply fantastic. They have it as an entree so definitely consider that as an option. Of course no meal here is complete without their Key Lime pie for dessert. It has mountain high peaks of meringue that will tempt you all night as you watch them being brought out to other tables! We had made a reservation ahead of time by calling which I recommend doing. It is a busy and popular restaurant for a good reason. read more
Such a cute and fun place for brunch. My toddler enjoyed all the chickens and live music. The key lime pie was so delicious. Worth the visit. We did have to wait an hour for before being seated, but we walked around and enjoyed the town. read more
I wanted to love this pie because the ambience and atmosphere of this restaurant are beyond. We were on a quest to find the best Keylime pie, and this restaurant claimed they were the top spot. This was our fourth piece of Keylime pie and unfortunately it fell short. Priced at $15 per slice I would've expected more. The meringue was sticky. The piece was tiny and the lime flavor was a bit too subtle for me. read more
We had a very memorable time in Key West, which included visiting Blue Heaven. This place is a classic loved by many, it had some amazing eclectic decor (fitting for the location) and some good food. Service was casual and friendly, the seating was in an outdoor area with the occasional mother hen + chicks passing beneath our table and seats. There was some live music too, great vibe for a casual brunch. The food was good! Firstly my bf got this lobster benny which was phenomenal. The lobster was so fresh and juicy, one of the best lobster bennies i've tried. My breakfast sandwich was not the best, it was pretty dry and i didn't end up finishing it. I would skip this one. We stopped in again at another point in the day to try the famous key lime pie - this is a must if you are visiting Key West. Absolutely delicious, homemade in the best possible way. Sweet meringue on top with that slightly sour lime taste. This is such a famous location, and a great stop for anyone looking to experience what the Keys are all about! read more
Second time here and still one of the best spots in the Keys. The service is nice and fast. The Lobster Benedict ... jazzed up with Asparagus and a side of grits was heaven on a plate. The iced coffees were delicious and can't wait to go back. Love the crazy ambiance with the signs and roosters running around. Very welcoming. read more
the food is okay but the service is quite bad, from the hosts (who were busy talking among themselves) to the waiter (who we have to wave our hands multiple times to get attention and unwillingly taking our orders), all with attitude. Poor lighting, we have to use our phone to view the menu. We had the popular dish - yellowtail snapper, it came with pasta, green bean, corn, and cornbread, it's a good choice, fish was fresh, pasta was flavorful and corn bread was fluffy and i like the butter/cream that came together with the cornbread. sauteed plantain $6 - we got this as "add-on", shocking to see only 3 tiny pieces of plantains for $6. (check my photo) We like their huge Key Lime pie with meringue topping, so far the best key lime pie we had in FL. read more
I was told this is the BEST keylime pie you can get, they were right!! At first I didn't think the meringue topping would work but it did. Sweet & tart is how it should be and Blue Heaven does it right. If you want to go, ya gotta hit their bar across the street. read more

This place is known for there key lime pie. Of course you know we had to try it, I mean look at it! Okay before I get into the pie let me tell you about the place. Everything about this restaurant embodies the Key West spirit. There is a live band playing, a ton of outdoor seating, and also chickens running around everywhere. Don't worry, if you are like me and have a little fear of birds the chickens really could care less about you. They are just looking for food. As far as the pie, I thought it was amazing! As you can see in my pictures it's as literally as big as your head. It is so light and airy and not a traditional take on key lime pie. I would say if you are visiting this is a must go to spot! It's about $13 if I remember correctly for the pie and we split it. We also got cocktails and they were great! A generous pour unlike a lot of places in Key West. I left feeling like the price of drinks were worth it. Note of caution: this is a very popular spot especially for cruise goers. There were a lot of people there who were there from there port. So just be prepared to be in a busy spot! All in all this place would be a miss not to go to for key lime pie if you are in the keys! read more

Sooo good! I had the grouper special and it was easily the best thing I've ever had in my entire life. There's chickens and roosters running around and the vibes are chill. The service was quick and friendly! Worth the wait, worth the price! read more

This place was just ok. I wouldn't waste my time or money to go back. It's way over hyped. The shrimp and grits was very bland. The best thing about that was the homemade bread they make toast with. Disappointing. It looked great. The portion size was good. My friends liked the breakfast sandwich and the rooster special ok, but you can get that anywhere. They do have more than just orange juice and I was able to enjoy apple juice. Our server was friendly. read more
My husband was on a quest to find a good key lime pie while visiting Key West! He did his research and saw that Blue Heaven was a popular spot for it! He ran in and ordered it to-go. It didn't take long for him to receive it. He absolutely loved this key lime pie. I'm not a huge fan of key lime pie, but found this one to be very light and fluffy. The crust was also made perfectly. It didn't have a tangy or tart flavor either, which is usually my gripe. This was very well balanced and we really enjoyed it! If you're looking for a good key lime pie, check this place out! read more

Amazing experience. Excellent food. Great atmosphere. Cool gift shop. Breakfast with the roosters. read more
Not bad. Just not worth the $. Overhyped unless you're going for pancakes. We went for breakfast. What we ordered: Banana and pecan pancakes Scrambled eggs and sausage patties Fresh squeezed orange juice Pineapple juice Side of bacon (3 pieces) Side of asparagus with hollandaise ( 5 pieces) Shrimp and grits with banana bread Lobster Eggs Benedict (the reason we came) What we loved: - The pancakes were huge and delicious. - adorable restaurant and great ambience - Fresh squeezed orange juice - sausage patties What could be better - The poached eggs (undercooked i had runny white parts on mine) - Flavor, everything was very bland even the shrimp and grits - Key Lime pie - it was fun to look at but wasn't amazing, especially for the price. Even my kids took one bite and passed - our server was nice but didn't check in during the meal to see if everything was good. There are so many great restaurants in this area, next time, we'll pass on this one. read more
We came here on a Thursday morning and it was busy. We had a party of 10 and a wait of 30 minutes. They provided a comfortable waiting area across the street. We chose to sit outside with the roaming roosters. The one unfortunate thing was they couldn't give us checks per couple only one check per table. Our waitress name was Dee Dee and I have to say she was amazing. This place is very unique, laid-back and enjoyable. I ordered their pancakes and they were loaded with my choice of bananas and pecans. Unfortunately they were not fluffy, they were very thin. I wouldn't order them again. My husband ordered lobster and grits which is a very unique thing to have on a menu and he enjoyed his choice and he said that the banana bread that came with his order was very good. They also have a gift shop to walk through. Parking is very limited. This place with drinks can get very expensive. read more
Had a late breakfast here on a Tuesday and still had to wait for a table! This is a popular place and deservedly so. The food is amazing and the dining experience is absolutely Key West - music, roosters, a little rain, and lots of greenery. We had the eggs Benedict and an omelet finished with a slice of Key Lime pie. Don't miss the shopping next door too. read more
The best brunch of my life. Tranquil ambience, bubbly staff and delicious food. This place was a phenomenal experience. I had the lobster and steak eggs Benedict and it was certainly the best experience be ever had. Every thing was fresh and cooked to perfection. But, I came for the key lime pie and it did not disappoint. It was everything I hoped for. read more

It's busy here always. Took first available for an early breakfast and sat at bar with Daria. She was very attentive and friendly. Omelette was good, not memorable, and bread is fresh. Had to try the famous key lime pie and just wasn't that impressed. More focus on meringue that actual pie, which lacked the tartness I enjoy. Live music with the greatest vibes. Guitarist and a huge bass. If you're in town you go here!! read more

Ask the Community - Blue Heaven
I'll be on a cruise is it within walking g distance from the port?
Yes! It's a small island
Can they accommodate large parties?
They may however, the hostess was so rude and the keylime pie was such a let down. Publix makes a better pie. I wouldn't even waste my money
Is it Pet Friendly?
I would think yes because it's mostly outdoor tables but might be an issue because there are lots of chickens and roosters free roaming. I'd be concerned with that and chicken feces. Maybe give them a call directly.
What is the wait like on a Saturday night? We're first timers to key west, only here for one night, and don't want to miss sunset at mallory square!
I would call to check specifics. I believe they only take reservations for large groups.
Where are the closest parking options?
Petronia Street is a small, wonderful food corridor but parking enforcement will ticket cars without residential stickers that are parked in spots marked ‘residential permit.’ Parking is easier to find down along Irma Street, just a block away.… Read more
