    Came early for dinner on a Saturday night. Wasn't busy and immediately sat at the bar. Stopped by because we saw it was on DDD and can clearly see why. Started off with the duck fat fries, which in today's world is a huge win as we are always filled with seed oils *cough cough Mcdonalds* They have homemade ketchup, which we tried with the fries, both regular and mango chipotle. Both were absolutely amazing. Then came the wings, 6 of them bone in. Cooked to perfection, slightly crispy but moist on the inside. The honey chipotle sauce had a slight spice but sweetness from the honey paired great. The blue cheese crumbles on top were heavy and we ate every last one (made a great dipping sauce for the fries as well) Unfortunately we didn't get to try the famous burgers or any of the amazing sounding desserts but we will be back. Service was great with easy order & pay done so simple at counter. Definitely can see why it would be considered a dive, smaller seating area with but the quick service I am sure you wouldn't have to wait long even if it's packed. Some outdoor seating as well. Overall a cute joint run and great way to support a local small business. If you're passing through the keys definitely worth the stop. You won't regret it!

    What a gem MEAT is! My husband and I make this the first stop when we get to Islamorada. The staff are always so friendly and they make you feel welcome. The beer is always ice cold and the food is delicious. Don't skip the onion rings with the beer cheese. They pair perfectly with their specialty burgers.

    Was recommended by a colleague if I wanted a great burger. Well it just so happens that I love a good burger. Stopped on on my way out and reviewed the menu. You order at the counter and then take a number and go sit down. Strangely they don't take your payment at that time which was a little strange. They deliver the meal to the table and it did not disappoint. I had the mushroom and Swiss burger. It was fantastic. Will definitely visit again.

    Had a great time and great eats!! Came down for a day trip to Islamorada and stopped here for some lunch, was not expecting some of the best burgers (ranked highly too!!!) I've had. We had the Nancy Pants with cheese, highly recommend. It brought us back to life after being at the beach all day. My wife did order the fried chicken Mac and cheese, though she said the fried chicken was delicious, the Mac and cheese wasn't her favorite. No matter, the food was still amazing. We topped it off with a Nutella milkshake that was creamy, not insanely overly sweet, and great consistency. The restaurant isn't too big inside, with about 4-5 tables inside, the bar area to sit, and about 4-5 tables outside. The staff is exceptionally sweet, very helpful and willing to accommodate guests. Thank you so much to both ladies working on Saturday!!! Will visit again when in the area!

    Want a great burger, then this is the place you need to come when in Islamorada. Service is good, food is good and have great happy hour prices on beer, wine and burgers. The place is kind of small and cute

    Came here for dinner after it was recommended to us by a local. The place itself is super small and has a bar vibe, a little dark but super clean. It was empty when we walked in at 5:30. The woman working the counter was so nice and took her time to explain the ordering process, their homemade sauces and specials to us. We ordered a pulled pork sandwich and a cheeseburger both with onion rings. The food came out very quickly and was super hot. It's clear it was made to order and not just sitting around. Everything was amazing and the onion rings were probably the best I've ever had. Would definitely come back next time we're in the area!

    - Great service - Love the eccentric decor inside - The truffle fries are great - Burger and wings were ok

    Cheeseburger and fries
    Danielle M.

    We drove in to the keys and was hungry. We had seen and red that The MEAT was great. The service was awful. The lady taking our order was half listening and therefore our meal was wrong. We did get the Cheeseburger and fries and it was good. Definitely need to work on social skills.

    Juicy Lucy for the win! If you are gluten free, no bun is a filling choice. We split the burger and fries. Everyone who worked there was nice (get a photo with the moose) We lived in MN and had the original juicy Lucy and I liked this better

    Good grief, this place did not disappoint! I admit I have a difficult time craving anything other than seafood when I visit the Keys, but my husband has been begging me to go here so on our last trip we finally went. How good can a burger possibly be, you may ask? Beyond amazing!!! I had an inside out juicy Lucy with a lettuce bun and zucchini fries, and my husband had a special brisket patty melt. Both were out of this world. I may actually be salivating while writing this review...they also have homemade desserts and milkshakes, as well as unique sodas! We can't wait until our next trip and will definitely stop at MEAT again!

He walked us through the menu, shared their most popular items, and really made us feel welcome. My husband and I like to try a little bit of everything, and he had his heart set on wings so we ordered the hot honey wings with a side of mac and a side of collard greens. He absolutely loved those wings. I was lucky to get even one bite because he cleaned the bones! The mac & cheese was also a big hit for him he wished he had more. The collard greens weren't his personal favorite, but I enjoyed them, and I know that can be more of an acquired taste. I ordered the fried conch with fries and a side of fried shrimp, plus the mystery drink because I was curious. The drink was delicious it reminded me of something sweet and fun you'd grab at the fair, so if you like sweeter drinks, I definitely recommend it. The conch was fried perfectly not overdone, no old oil tastes just crispy and really good. But the real star of the show was that lobster sauce. Pairing it with the fried conch and shrimp took the whole meal to another level. The shrimp were crunchy on the outside and tender inside, and everything just came together beautifully. I'm honestly still thinking about that lobster sauce and can't wait to come back for more. On top of the great food, the atmosphere was wonderful. Everyone was so friendly. We got to meet both the manager and the cook, and they genuinely cared about how we were enjoying our meal and if anything needed fixing which it didn't. Everything was perfect for us. We'll definitely be back soon. This place truly left a great impression on us.

We tried a few different types of wings and none of us agreed on our favorites! So that's good because it means there's something for everyone. Here were the wings we tried: 1) jerk pineapple- my favorite, not too spicy , not too sweet, not overly saucy, and just delicious 2) mango habanero- a little spicy, a little sweet. Very tasty. Maybe a little too much sauce for me 3) sweet and spicy- I also like this one , it was similar in spice to the spicy habanero but not as sweet. 4) spicy lemon pepper- this I did not like. It was too sour and too peppery. As for the sides and drinks... the fries were just fine , the mozzarella sticks were bad, but the guava pineapple juice was AMAZING!! All in all I will definitely come back.

I kept thinking, "till Big Pine Key, I've seen so many waterfront restaurants--so let's just head toward Key West, and if something looks tempting, we'll stop." That's when we spotted Kiki's. The big, bold sign caught my eye, and we took a right turn Parking was easy (lots of space), and the place had that classic tropical vibe--laid back, colorful, and vibing. The restaurant has two floors of dining plus outdoor seating. Near the entrance, there's a small stage for live music and a bunch of bright Adirondack chairs that really add to the chill atmosphere. signs for big cities (like 2000 miles to Quebec, haha) We got our table quickly, and since we were trying to make it to Mallory Square in time for sunset, we let our server know we were in a bit of a rush. Unfortunately, the service wasn't great, and we ended up spending about 55 minutes there, which felt longer than expected given our timing. We ordered: * Mahi Basket: - really good, and my wife loved it. * Snapper Sandwich: with crunchy fries and sauce - solid and satisfying, also great fish Overall, the food was good, the vibe was matching, and the whole setting was really nice--just the service didn't quite match. But honestly, if we hadn't been in a hurry, it probably wouldn't have bothered us. They also have a pier for boat parking, a small gift shop, and air conditioned bathrooms (haha). Nice spot!
