Brisket plate with two of the available sides.
Eric P.

What a hidden gem! Third trip to the keys, but first visit to Pop's. It most definitely will NOT be the last. The food here is excellent. Great selection. Well prepared. Nice variety of BBQ sauces available to fit regional tastes. The sides are of top quality, just like the mains. And the key lime pie? To die for! Don't let the unassuming exterior fool you. The food and service are five star!

We are craving some BBQ and decided to stop by Pop's Smoke shed. My partner was a little nervous at first because the place didn't smell "smoky". Well, the food tastes amazing! I highly recommend the Mac bowl with burnt ends. Our waitress is lovely and very friendly. Will go back!

Excellent! I tried the sampler platter which comes with brisket, pulled pork, baby back ribs and 1/4 chicken- you get a little bit of everything. I am surprised to say but the chicken was hands down the best! Super juicy and had the perfect smokey flavor and paired really great with the Louisana Hot & Spicy sauce! They also have a really great beer selection with local craft beers on tap. Service was great!

Chicken, brisket, coleslaw and bbq beans.

Such a warm welcome! Felt at home. Excellent food! Fast as well. I think the value was there as well. I'd was enough for lunch and dinner. I thought the ribs and the brisket were perfect! It was all good but I want more of those.

Menu June 2025. BBQ sauces are grocery store brands.

Nice restaurant. Not the best bbq but it hit the spot after a long hot day. Got the fried pickles and they came straight right of the fryer. Very good. The burger is really good. Nice thick burger cooked to medium with a good sauce. Nicely dressed. The brisket was on the fatty end and it came out with only a little thing if sauce. Ask for more right at the start. Staff was really friendly and it was nice and peaceful with good AC.

Nana puddin' after a few bites!

BBQ Heaven in Big Pine Key! Pops Smoke Shed BBQ is an absolute gem! Hands down, some of the best BBQ I've ever had -- tender, smoky, and packed with flavor. The variety of house-made sauces was a real treat, from bold Kansas City Classic, Memphis Sweet to Carolina Tangy Gold, Louisiana Hot & Spicy, and Mississippi Honey -- there's something for every BBQ lover. Portions are no joke, so come hungry -- this is not a place for lightweights! Every bite was satisfying, and our server couldn't have been friendlier or more attentive. The Southern hospitality here is real. Whatever you do, don't skip dessert. Mimi's banana pudding is the perfect creamy, nostalgic finish, and their pecan pie is downright heavenly. If you're anywhere near Big Pine Key, make this your BBQ stop -- you won't regret it!

We stopped in for dinner during our trip with a large group. The food was very salty and nothing to really write home about. The service was great; we just wish the food had been on par. On Tuesdays, they give a discount for locals. Also, don't park in front of the stairs like this idiot.

Mac and cheese bowl with BBQ Brisket.

We stopped for lunch and had the amazing macaroni and cheese bowl with brisket and deep fried pickles. Our food was delicious and Leah was the best waitress EVER! We would definitely come back if we are in the area.

The best! Not the most healthy lol but worth every bite!

We got the fries, covered with Mac n cheese, pork, jalepenos, golden bbq sauce....AMAZING !!

Pulled pork, mac and cheese, coleslaw, potato salad

Last minute decision to stop here for lunch, it was 10/10. The food was delicious, service was fast and great! The Mac and cheese was amazing!

4 Meat Sampler
Lee N.

Stop by this place for lunch and was pleasantly surprised. My husband and I got the 4 Sampler Platter that came with 2 rolls, 2 sides, and 4 meats (ribs, chicken, brisket, and pulled pork). We ask the server (who was an absolutely friendly and helpful) if it was large enough for us to share and she said more than enough that you'd probably need a to go box (we did ). Ranking of the meats from our fave first. Pulled pork was seasoned, flavorful, and plentiful. Next up is the chicken (we got white meat). Juicy and smoked to perfection. Then we have the ribs (4 pieces). It wasn't fall off the bone but it was the right type of tender. Flavor was good but definitely try their sauces on them! Finally the brisket (4 pieces). This was a bit dryer than the other meats but was still flavorful. I just wish it was a bit more juicier (personal choice). We had the fries and potato salad as our sides and they were okay. The place was quaint, clean, with a chill vibe. I'd definitely go again when I head down to Key West again.

On our drive back to Orlando from the Keys, we needed an easy breakfast/brunch spot to feed eight…read morehungry mouths, and this place turned out to be such a happy little find! When we first walked in, I was a little concerned because there wasn't a single seat left inside. But honestly, a packed house is usually a good sign, so I figured we were in for something goooood! They had some delicious breakfast sandwich options, baked goodies we couldn't resist, and the most boujee, decadent coffees, which I'm ALWAYS here for! My sister even ordered some sort of mushroom coffee concoction... definitely not my thing, but she was all about it! Everything came out hot, fresh, and soooo, sooo yummy! Thankfully, the staff pointed out additional seating outside, so we didn't have to eat on the road. We snagged a big picnic table under an umbrella, which was perfect for our group. And as an unexpected little bonus, everyone picked out a book from their Little Free Library to enjoy! Great food, fabulous coffee, and a sweet little moment of relaxation before the long drive home. Sometimes the unplanned stops end up being the best ones!

This needs to be a stop on your way to or from the Florida Keys!…read more Serving up breakfast, coffee, matcha and sandwiches this funky spot has a cheeky name that they really lean into. I ordered the Mile Marker 22, which is a turkey panini on ciabatta bread with avocado, goat cheese, honey and some veggies. They knocked it out of the park with this one! I also got a raspberry matcha latte, which was pretty good. It did need some mixing so the raspberry blended better but overall a solid matcha latte. There is indoor and outdoor seating. Lots of colorful murals and just a fun atmosphere. Everything is made to order so you'll get a very fresh meal.
