    THE BEST FOOD TRUCK I'VE ATE FROM!!! I stopped on my drive down to the keys and will miss it every day. I went with the steak wrap special and bean salad. I couldn't recommend it more. It's located behind the market with tons of tables and couches everywhere. Just beware of the chickens because there is so many of them.

    Barbecue Chicken Quesadilla
    Destiny C.

    I enjoyed my meal from here so much that we came back after leaving the Keys. I went with the barbecue chicken quesadilla. This needs to be a permanent menu item!! It was absolutely amazing. The service is friendly too. Bonus points for the cool islandy atmosphere. We did have to wait a bit for the food, but we learned that you can order online or call and place an order. Definitely add this stop to your trip down to the Keys. You won't regret it.

    Everything about this place is so perfect! I call it the secret garden! We came here for an early dinner and were able to enjoy walking around the enchanting garden with roosters hanging around. The food truck in the back offers a daily-changing menu with absolutely delicious dishes, priced incredibly well. So kudos for that. The service is super friendly and the "island-laid -back" approach. We also shopped in the general store in the front which offers lots of essentials and gift items. This is one of my favorite places from day 1. Can't wait to return.

    Amazing local Keys spot owned and operated by locals, and serving local foods. We stopped in on our drive North out if the keys for a bite to eat, and were blown away by the atmosphere. Upon entering, you are immediately transported into a lush, tropical paradise. There are locally sources wares for sale up front, and then the bbq in back. The staff was very welcoming and friendly. We ordered from the food truck and were served very quickly. The food was out of this world. Someone told us they were on Diners Driveins and Dives, so be sure to check that out as well. They have salads, wraps, bowls, and a ton is appetizers. The hawaiian beef was incredible. Definitely a spot i will be hitting up every time im in marathon.

    Came here the other day with my bf and it was a great experience. We ordered a couple of wraps and although it took a little time because they were busy, it was worth it. The food is so good and flavorful and the weather outside was perfect for our lunch date. We stopped by the market area on our way out and got some goodies to take home. The coffee brownie was delicious. The lychee ice cream was good.

    Great food - many gluten free options.

    The food and service were spot on. I can't wait for my next trip to Key West. The bartender was extremely helpful -- they assisted my friend in choosing a great gluten-free option. Highly recommend!

    Breakfast burrito
    Marlys J.

    Excellent spot for breakfast! The outdoor seating area is beautiful and serene, with plenty of fans to keep the space cool and comfortable. There is a great variety of seating options, including chairs, sofas, and benches, and even toys to keep little ones entertained. The service was wonderful. We ordered at the counter, and they brought our food right out to our table. Everything was fresh and delicious. I had the berry acai bowl with peanut butter, and my husband ordered the breakfast burrito--both were absolutely spectacular. This was such a perfect place to enjoy a relaxing breakfast before a long day of driving.

    Tropical bowl with key lime mahi ($19)

    What a treasure to find this spot on the drive to Key West (thank you, Yelpers!). We had a delicious lunch in comfortable outdoor seating. Order at the counter then wait for your name to be called -- easy as that. The "bowls" are generous in size -- I had the "tropical" style with coconut rice ($14) and key lime mahi mahi ($5 upcharge). Everything was fresh and delicious. Recommend and will be back!

    There are two parts to this restaurant. The first is a breakfast and lunch place with pastries and desserts. They also Jamaican hand pies and fresh smoothies. They also have vegan ice cream and fresh fruit. I wish I would have known about this before I arrived. I would have eaten there. Their website says nothing about it. The other part is outside where you can get bowls, tacos, and other things described on their website. My bowl was excellent. Plenty of food for two people.

    Pretty cool spot on the island! The environment is laid back and pretty chill with really easy seating and outdoor island vibes. Amazing place for breakfast and coffee! I had the açaí bowl and so worth it.

    It's a little gem hidden in a beautiful garden setting. Two different food trucks tucked in the garden, nice variety, fresh ingredients, friendly staff

    Absolutely loved this place--everything was a 10/10 and such a true Keys experience! Sitting outside with chickens roaming around just added to the charm. I ordered the Floriditos, and honestly, it might have been an 11/10. The combination of meat, melty cheese, and sweet plantains, all dipped in chipotle aioli--sweet, savory, spicy--just WOW. The flavors were incredible! My boyfriend built his own bowl with cilantro noodles, tropical style, and pineapple mojo chicken. He couldn't stop raving about how good it was. The staff was also super friendly and patient with us as first-timers. Can't wait to come back next time I'm in the Keys!

    As someone that loves Hawaii, I loved this place since the minute I arrived. It is all chill island vibes, such a hidden gem! The seating is casual and comfortable, perfect for relaxing, and the staff very friendly. Their food was also very tasty and there's options to shop around for souvenirs. Definitely on my list of stops when I'm in this area!

    this place is 10000 percent a keys vibe. one single bartender/waiter working and the "manager"…read morehelping. a few chefs in the back. we called ahead because we were a larger party and they were all set up for us when we arrived. waiter was SO NICE (forgot his name) and was super transparent when they were out of something. the bar is zero frills. no bar menu just "these are the alcohols we have, we can kind of make anything within reason" food took forever because it got crazy busy fast. when the food came everything was fantastic. zero complaints even from the children! my daughter said the burger was amazing and the owner/manager even brought us a pre dinner key lime pie slice "because I cut it too small". super hospitable and lovely people. if you come on here and complain about a wait or lack of seating, you must be new to the keys. classic rock jams, bob marley, a fruity drink, and some relaxed service IS the keys. step outside the hustle and bustle and enjoy the meal!

Stopped in here for breakfast and ordered at the bar; seafood omelette. Eggs was done well incorporating spinach; mushrooms and smoked salmon. Unfortunately no other fish options were available. Waffles and grits to go with it, orange juice to keep it all down. Taste was not too bad. Portions were good. Services were quick and prices are little more than I expected.. it's spring break so it ok. Would I choose to return maybe.. especially if to order a mahi sandwich for lunch. Keep expectations low and you can have a good experience it's my new Floriduh moto.

It was so good I actually went twice. Once by myself and once with my family. We all had sandwiches which were very generously portioned. I had the Italian on one occasion and the Turkey on another. Both were fab and more than enough. With a bag of chips a single sandwich is an easy lunch for two. Clientele seemed to be a mix of locals and tourists. The family who runs it was very friendly. Service was fantastic. If you want a more hearty meal they have a daily special that includes two or three meat options, rice, beans, etc. not exactly diet food, but you won't go hungry. Seating was limited but they have tables outside as well. No one was left standing. I loved it and would return again.

Nothing , around this area, truly compares to this little spot established in 2023. As soon as you walk in you're greeting with a smile and warmth. The place's energy is very laid back, homey and unpretentious which I loved. The menu is right to the point and perfectly designed to keep things minimal and at the same time , offer variety without too much complications of choice. Something that was appreciated after making so many choices this week! We got their breakfast egg, cheese, ham + 2 croquetas sandwich and when I say this ks the softest most delicious Cuban bread I have ever had, trust me!!! Also, the sandwiches are HUGE. If you have a big appetite, totally worth it but if you're trying to save some bucks, two people can easily get full with the two halves. Highly recommend splitting one sandwich since they're HUGE or you can take the other half for later. Their coffee was also amazing alongside their pastries. They have guava, pineapple, apple and coconut pastries.
