Enough seafood, give me some bbq! Mike's has great food for a great price especially when you compare it to some of the local seafood restaurants. I loved the texture of both the ribs and brisket. Perfect smoky taste as well. I was a fan of their spicy bbq sauce. Service was quick and the covered benches were a nice place to enjoy the food.

Texas Brisket plate w/ potato salad and baked beans

Best bbq in the keys! Was amazing and haven't had this good of bbq since the last time I was in Texas. The truck workers/owners were very kind and helpful, not afraid to advocate for how good there ribs are... and they were right! Very nice outdoors seating with tables and shade. Would recommend stopping by anytime you have the chance.

Fantastic BBQ Food truck in key largo. Can't go wrong with anything you order at this joint. Normally get the pulled pork platter and Mac n cheese. Highly recommend

2meat combo with 2 sides

The food was delicious!!!! We couldn't get enough of it! The customer service was also top notch, they even brought some water for our fur baby. Portions are sufficient for two, you will have enough food left for after. Parking is next to the road.

The best food in Key Largo! We have been coming here for years and have struggled to find great food in this area. That was of course until we found Mikes BBQ. Brisket is incredible, ribs smacked, and the sausage. All the sides were incredible. My favorite was the Mac and cheese and potatoe salad! Wonderful service as well! Very causal but sooo delicious.

Pork ribs, Mac and cheese and baked beans with cornbread

All these years of coming to the Keys and I've yet to try this place out! I didn't even know it existed until my bf said let's go get the best bbq you've had so far (I had high expectations especially since I had literally just came from Austin!). There was a lady that took our order who was super sweet and the guy (I guess is the owner) who prepared our food. Our order was ready so quick!! Amazinggg. They have a bunch of picnic tables on the side so you can sit and eat your food. They have many options to chose from, we got the one meat which came with 2 sides. We ordered the pork ribs which was super tender and flavorful with the perfect rub. And we go the Mac and cheese and baked beans. The Mac and cheese sooo creamy and had a little kick to it with chili. And the cornbread was not dry and has the perfect moisture. Definitely coming back without a doubt!

Brisket Sandwich - Cole slaw, potato salad, sweet corn bread.

So this is a food truck (with plenty of picnic tables to sit at) southbound in Key Largo! The ladies taking the order were very nice and welcoming. The owner (I assume) also came out while we were eating to make sure everything was ok. So, about the food. We had the brisket sandwich, Cole slaw, and the potato salad with sweet cornbread (also had jalapeño as an option) The brisket was great. Very tender and not overly salty. Had 3 sauces to choose from. (Wish the spicy would have had a stronger kick, but good nonetheless). Cole slaw had a great flavor and whatever they season the potato salad with (maybe some cilantro) tasted great. Real BBQ is tough to find, but this one was beyond solid. Will def stop again since we are frequent keys goers.

We found this place while driving around, and it's a solid bbq spot that can compete with places in Texas. We ordered some sausage, brisket, corn bread, mac' n cheese and potato salad. The sausage had a nice crispy casing, spice and smokey flavor. The brisket was moist and fell apart in your mouth. The corn bread was moist and tasted great. The mac' n cheese was creamy, and the potato salad had a good flavor. There are a few picnic tables under a tent. If you're in the area and want bbq this is probably the best spot.

Ribs, brisket, baked beans, green beans

This is a food truck on the side of the road some picnic tables to eat at under a tent. Cars will be whizzing by so don't expect a fine dining experience, and the weather will make a difference. I recommend getting the food to go. Got the two meat plate with brisket and ribs. Was told the ribs were fresh out of the smoker, and they were very good, tender and flavorful. The brisket was tender but really didn't have any flavor. It's always disappointing when bbq needs sauce, in my opinion it should have such a good rub and natural smoke flavor that it should make sauce unnecessary. I've tried some of the top rated bbq places in Texas, Kansas City, Carolina, and in various other locations in the south and while this bbq was good, it just didn't measure up. It was average bbq at best. The ribs were good, but I honestly probably wouldn't order the brisket again. Corn bread was fine. Baked beans and canned green beans were as expected. I wish they had some better sides like collard greens or fried okra. Also wish they made has some fresh squeezed lemonade or key limeade or homemade sweet tea something. I ended up just drinking my own bottle of water I had with me in the car since they didn't have any good drinks. One thing that was great was the service though. The lady behind the counter was very friendly, and she came over and checked on us at the table too. While the food was probably only 3.5 stars, I rounded up to 4 stars overall because she was very nice. Glad she told us the ribs were fresh out of the smoker or I probably would've only ordered the brisket and I would've been disappointed. Overall I really wanted to like it here and it was a nice place to stop for food while driving through the keys but I wouldn't go out of my way to come here again sadly.

The Jalapeño corn bread and the Mac and cheese were delicious. The baked beans and pulled pork were okay.
