Where to eat: the 17 best restaurants in Big Pine Key

Went to the legendary No Name Pub in Big Pine Key—the place that’s so hidden, I thought I was being lured into a pirate-themed prank. But no, it’s real. It’s famous. And I was hungry. Let’s talk food: it was… fine. Not bad, not great, just kind of there—like a supporting actor in a movie where the lead role is played by the Key lime pie, which absolutely stole the show. Tart, creamy, and sweet enough to make you forgive your meal for being forgettable. Now the atmosphere? 10/10. It’s got that authentic “Florida Keys meets roadside treasure map” energy. Walls covered in dollar bills, locals who may or may not be in witness protection, and the kind of rustic charm that makes you want to drink a beer at noon and buy a boat. Would I go back? Probably. For the pie and the vibes. Just don’t come expecting a Michelin star—come for a Florida Keys experience in its purest, quirkiest form.

One of the most amazing bars I've ever seen, much less been to several times! This place is covered in dollar bills. From wall to ceiling from door-to-door. The service is wonderful. They didn't estimate a while back by square footage. That estimate came out to be $750,000 to $800,000! This place is so cool 😎.

Old Florida. Awesome place. The atmosphere is nice as are the staff. We did not dine here. I heard the place has the best pizza in the Keys. They have some tall bar stools. You even might see some Key deer on your journey to the No Name.

Pizza crust was amazing. Rest of the pizza was a pretty normal pizza. We had the Hawaiian and the meats. It was super cool seeing all of the dollar bills and reading some of the different ones. Very strong pub vibes inside and they mostly played country music. Service was good.

We decided to drive down to Big Pine Key from Islamorada (about an hour drive) and see the key deer and have a late lunch at the No Name Pub. Points of interest: * We saw a dozen or so key deer as we were driving through the neighborhood of Big Pine on our way to No Name. They were not afraid of us and we got some cute pics from the car. * No Name only serves beer and wine. That was fine for us. * The inside looked and smelled clean. No strong bleach or stale beer smell. We were not sure what to expect from a pub. * The inside area is rather small but they do have an outside area as well. * Two surprises. The first was our waitress, Katie. She was fun, energetic, and lots of personality. She turned a good experience into a great experience. We brought dollar bills to sign and staple to the walls. She brought out a box of colorful highlighters to customize them. She also gave us some good recommendations on food. * The second surprise was the food. Based on Katie’s recommendations we order the fish dip and chicken wings (bourbon glaze). Both might have been the best we’ve ever had. Really good. Other items (like their pizza) looked real good as well. The table next to us had some positive comments on it. As most people know before you go there that there are thousands of dollar bills stapled to the walls, ceilings, columns, and beams. It is amazing seeing so many. We had a very positive experience and would recommend this place to friends and family..

Kelly was are bartender and truly amazing! Her personality and recommendations were perfect! She treated us like family! Even took us out the patio to show us a deer! This will be an annual stop! Get the smoked fish dip! Delicious! Next time we will get the pizza!

We were greeted immediately at the door and seated right away. We went a littler “earlier” (5pm) to get a drink and our dinner to go, but the atmosphere was extremely cozy and our server, Abbey, was incredible. This was our first time at No Name Pub but we will definitely be back! ❤️

Great selection of sandwiches from A Cuban, Philly. French dip and traditional. Also have salads and even some ice cream. I had the Italian and it was massive and great. Nice staff with great service and small indoor as well as outdoor seating. We will be back! Thank you Island Deli!

Island Deli has quickly become one of my favorite places. I just tried their breakfast sandwich and it was amazing—hearty, fresh, and really satisfying. The staff is always welcoming and kind, which makes the experience even better. Whether it’s breakfast or lunch, the food is consistently fresh and flavorful. I really appreciate the quality they bring to the community, and I’ll definitely be returning!

The best Cuban I've had in the keys, and I live in key west. The tuna sandwiches are delicious too. Very friendly staff. We hit this place often after church on Sunday and look forward to it all week! Thank you!

I came all the way from homestead with me family , everything was absolutely delicious, we tried the pastrami melt, Italian sub and roasted club. Pastrami was out favorite although really hard to get a favorite bc all of them were super good , the soup is great , beans with the smoked ham. Tony and jack gave us a great service , definitely coming back. If you are close by try it ! 100% recommended

We split a club sandwich because it was piled with meat. The mayo and seasoning mix was pretty solid but a little salty. Almost $20 for the sandwich and chips but worth it in my opinion. Overall though they’re doing a great job for just starting out so definitely stop by if you’re passing them and check it out

New owners are doing a fantastic job! Streamlined the menu, now offers Boar's Head meats, lunch specials...great sandwiches, built perfectly. You're missing out if you don't stop in.

This owner just opened about a week ago today so the reviews that are older than that need to be ignored! This place was amazing and delicious. It doesn't look like much as far as atmosphere especially on the inside but the food is on point and sooooo delicious! The amount you get is at least 20% more than other deli shops! This guy was kind and really put his heart into cooking and creating the food! Worth the stop!

I was genuinely surprised by all the glowing reviews because my experience was far from what I expected—especially as a passionate food enthusiast. The first red flag was an empty parking lot during peak dinner hours. When we walked in, the place was completely empty, and no one greeted us. We ended up seating ourselves, which is unusual for a sit-down restaurant. Mini pillows were oddly stacked on corner tables, which seemed unsanitary and out of place. Although our server was friendly, she didn’t mention any dinner specials or offer any guidance about the menu. We also weren’t given water, which is a basic expectation. The food was frozen, pre made. absolutely disgusting. We left the food just like this as seen below in photos. The drinks were another letdown: the frozen margarita and daiquiri were clearly pre-made, lacking any freshness. I ordered a cider, and it came with the bottle and a glass—apparently a self-serve situation, which felt lazy rather than intentional. Finally, a sign on the table caught my attention in the worst way. It felt like a warning to guests about the quality or service, which made me question the professionalism of the establishment even more. Overall, the experience felt off from the start and never recovered. I wouldn’t recommend it.

We came here for breakfast and it was good. There was only one server, and it became very busy very quickly. I am not sure why only one server, but she kept up as best she could. The food was good, and they even had homemade donuts, which we got for the road. The establishment was decorated cute, and I feel it was probably a fun time at night. I would go back.

Got the fried pickle app, “frikles” they were delicious! Batter was great, NOT GREASY like most fried pickles. Burgers were great! Whiskey burger was good, good flavor. Staff was super friendly and helpful. Will return again!

Great find and just in time as we grabbed the last key lime pie to go! (More being made yes homemade, in the kitchen) didn’t get pictures of our plates as we honked them up so fast! Loved that Marcie extended breakfast time for us! Thank you Marcie!

What a great place to eat and drink! The staff is very friendly and service is on point. We were down on vacation and made the drive over from Marathon. Food was fabtastic and large portions! We all took back a box. Highly recommend giving them a try! We will be back next trip! 👍👍

Fantastic place! Great atmosphere great service and great food. Very laid back!!!

I eat here with friends and family constantly over the last 2 years. The service is always great, I’ve never had a complaint. Very clean restaurant, delicious food and great staff. The rooster in the men’s bathroom is a little unnerving I hear 🤣

Food was very good and hot. Fry portions are large and sandwiches are amazing. The employees were so so nice and the atmosphere was calm with good radio music. The prices are very affordable especially for the food quality. Will definitely come back!!

We absolutely love this place! You can find the whole family here every Tuesday for breakfast or picking up one of there amazing specials to take home for dinner throughout the week! 😋 Come be apart of the big pine community that has been dining at cocos for over 20 years and meet the wonderful people that keep it going!

Amazing little diner we stopped off while the Tesla was charging at the supercharger. I had the Cuban sandwich and it was filling, tasty and fresh. My guest had the burger. We were both satisfied with our lunch with fountain drinks. Definitely a great option on Big Pine Key next to the grocery store. Roosters in the parking lot cockle-doing away. lol

Sweet little Cuban restaurant. Friendly staff. Delicious mixed Cuban sandwich. Bought a guava pastry for later. Highly recommend.

We had breakfast and enjoyed it. I had Huevos Rancheros, and my wife had a breakfast burrito. Both were good, but a little bland compared to what we're used to. I guess they want to cater to everyone's taste and in their defense, there was hot sauce available. We did think their tortillas were very good. Oh yeah, we also had guava and cheese turnovers...yummy! I only gave a 4 for atmosphere because the seat cushions are old and they serve you with plastic cutlery. Nothing wrong with that, but I can't justify a five compared to everyone else's place settings. The staff was very friendly and efficient. We will be back to try some of their lunch fare!

This place is amazing from food to service all around 10/10. The Cuban sandwich was amazing, crispy, flavorful and perfectly made and the staff there make everything more delightful. Very friendly people!!!

I wanted to try Cuban food. I was very pleased with my food choices. I got Tinga chicken special, sauteed chicken with plaintains and Cuban mixed sandwich. Price was great and food was delicious. There is plenty of space for dine in. I forgot the names of the girls in the front but they were all very friendly and helpful. Menu is very easy.

We had slices and shared a basket of fries. Left full and happy. We'll come back for a burger next time.

Food was excellent. We shared some garlic knots and a large pie. Food was filling and delicious! I love being able to see our pizza being made! Great experience!

I just want to go and say, my friends made a bad review using my phone and it was posted. Hungry people that were mad. In Pizzaworks behalf, I want to say, a mistake was made and they were very nice to me on the phone when I called that night. What my friends didn't know was that I called them and I was told that under the late circumstance and one driver they were unable to remake the pizza, but offered a free pizza at another time. I didn't eat the pizza, but have eaten from there before. It was good. The drivers both time were friendly. I can't rate on atmosphere because I have only ordered delivery, but will give it a 5 star as well to average a 5 star rating. Overall, give it a try. You will like it. Again, the first post was not accurate.

Read reviews were really good.Stopped in for lunch at around 12:30. Only one person was working didnt see anybody dining in. Was told it would be awhile. Politely asked if it would be better to place a take out order or try to dine it. Worker was rather rude saying it didn’t matter was going to be awhile an he didn’t know how long we could sit an have patience.

We had subs here. My wife loved her meatball parm, but my chicken parm was not the best I've ever had. I think it was heated in the deep fryer and tasted a little oily. We'll probably go with pizza next time, since that's what they're known for. The decor is dated and in need of freshening.

I just got the veggie supreme pizza large for a little under 25 bucks. It was tasty.

Popped in real quick with my whole family for some pizza and wings. Food tasted great came out. Quick service was great highly recommend. A +

The food and service were amazing! We stopped by on our way home from Fantasy Fest, and even though it was super busy, the staff hustled to get orders out quickly. I'm definitely adding this to my list of must-visit places every time I'm down in the Keys!

Stopped in here for a asiago bagel breakfast sandwich. Simple but tasty. Highly recommend. Super friendly staff. Prompt service.

The best homemade bagels. On Fridays, I get the garlic bagel with lox. Good prices, coffee, location. Good and excellent folks. Closed Monday and Tuesday. A local treasure!

As lovers of the keys we stop here multiple times per visit. Super delicious hand made food at amazingly low prices. The husband and wife owner/operators are amazing. Our favorite way to start our daily adventures in the keys!!

Staff were extremely rude, very unprofessional and uncomfortable to be in there. My friends and I got our breakfast there one day and when we asked for more sweetener for our friends back home, the lady ignored us and had more attitude than my teenage girl friends. When we decided to go back and give it another shot the next day, they ignored us and it felt even more eerie than the day before. We ended up walking out and they ended up losing good business. Food was mid too.

I'm not a big fan of the bagels, but the overall experience was good. The only thing missing was an A/C, which is the only reason I don't give 5 stars. I suggest improving the order-taking process so it doesn't seem too anxious. I understand there's a line and the place is small, but there should be a way to add another person to help with the process.

Cozy little shop on the middle of a shopping center! They have a lot of different bagels and sandwiches! Staff is friendly, food was great, chai latte not that great tho.

Typical Chinese restaurant with the same food as virtually every other on the country. The service was fast. The food was not the best we've ever had, but better than average, and the portions are large. We have no problem going back again.

We finally tried dining in at China Garden since they started dine-in service, and we're pleasantly surprised. The service was typically stoic, but the food was ample and tasty. The price was refreshing for the Keys. We will definitely return.

Standard Chinese food, pretty good. The curry shrimp with onion was new to me though and very good. Vegetable soup was pretty bland, mostly broth, but great if that's what you are looking for. They were pretty busy, might have taken 5-10 minutes longer than the 20-25 they said.

I hardly ever post reviews but this place definitely deserves 1 star. Stopped to charge my Tesla and decided to grab a bite to eat. We ordered it to go in case it took longer to make. We got our food quickly and started to take it out to eat at the table. The older lady rudely shooed us out the door saying that we got our food to go so we must leave. We took our food to eat in the car and the General Tso chicken tasted freezer burnt, the pork fried rice was terrible and the egg rolls were disgusting. $28 wasted. I would highly recommend eating somewhere else.

If you liked the spare ribs before, DONT ORDER THEM again. They come dry, overcooked and tiny portion of some watered down sauce. I have been going there since before covid and they were great. I will NEVER order the ribs again. The nice lady at the regiser just hung uo on me while I was adressing my dissatisfaction with the order. I may just stip ordering anything from there again. How rude. I am am old time customer sometimes ordering 3 times a week. I guess they have too many customers to worry. Good bye china garden. I am erasing your number from my phone.

Food is better than I thought through reviews but haven't had anything bad at all. Will be regular when I'm out on big pine for sure

The food was amazing and staff was very friendly. It didn't look to be good at the beginning, but we will definitely come back here to eat again!

The service was slow and forgetful, but the croissant, egg and cheese sandwich with the sausage made it worth it. That was delicious!! My husband got the country fried steak meal and that was ok. Not the best but not the worst one he has had.

Staff welcomed us as we walked in the door to a very family friendly environment mixed with both locals and tourists. Wait staff was friendly and took our orders immediately and our drinks were never empty. Our breakfast was amazing! The farmers skillet had such great flavor, mini gut buster was still a huge portion. Cheese grits were just like Momma makes them! Best food we’ve had in a week in the Keys!

Small Cafe with great breakfast selections. I opted for the BLT (they also offer a "supersized" version) - it was 1st rate. Other members of our party were very pleased with their food selections. Great service too! Would definitely return on our next trip through big pine key.

Small family owned restaurant with some of the best food. If you're in the area you should stop by...

This is a cafe ran next to a motel… that says it all. I got the bagel egg and cheese sandwich and the bagel itself tasted like it came out of the freezer. Also, I feel like food was overpriced for the quality of it. On breakfast I spent $72 for 4 people that includes tipping.… anyways, I don’t think I’ll be going back.

Just had a fantastic breakfast! My husband enjoyed blueberry pancakes and I had scrambled eggs, potatoes, and tomatoes. Shannon was kind enough to allow us to bring our dog Lexi inside.

I have been looking for a good breakfast place and I think I have found it. Everything was hot and fresh. The food had a lot of flavor and seasoning. It was so good 😋 I will definitely be back soon!!! Great service and great food!!!

I love this health food store! It’s the only one of its kind in the area, unless you go to Key West. They carry local produce, herbs, and all kinds of organic and healthy foods. They also make some really good smoothies and food. Oh and if you see the KAVA brownies, take them! They are amazing!

Amazing atmosphere, amazing people, and outstandingly fresh EVERYTHING!! This gem is a must when visiting the Florida Keys! They have been in business for decades and there is certainly a reason, they truly care about community and wellness. It was a truly beautiful experience! Thank you for having me over for lunch and I can’t wait to come back soon!! Blessings and best wishes 🙏🙏

THE BEST IN THE KEYS! 🌴🐠 I’ve been coming here for about 20 years, and can never say enough good things about it. If you want fresh, organic, healthy, delicious, old-school natural food (wraps, salads, smoothies - oh my!) there is no place better than here… It’s the best in the keys, in Florida - maybe in this world. 🥰 Go eat here - You won’t regret it.

Had a very good mango, coconut smoothie! Very friendly staff.

Calling all vegan/ vegetarians/ health food lovers! But seriously, when it comes to FUELING your body with REAL, no frills food, this place is not for the faint of heart. It really is a nice hidden wonderland for good food and medicine. And the workers were really just lovely. We sat at the bar while they made our food and just chit-chatted with them and a couple local regulars (that also gives you a hint it’s the real deal type place), and it was lovely. They also have lots of vegan snacks and cans and jars of food, an entire section of medicines and just everything you can imagine meant for consumption that helps your body rather than harm. It’s a cute store with all the good vibes and their food was good too. But just be prepared because it really is genuine and they don’t manipulate any of it. The smoothies are your choice of frozen fruit and coconut milk or apple juice or almond milk and that’s all. But it’s such a nice change up and I loved it. We also got a wrap that literally had every color and shade of the rainbow of veggies, and it had some kind of sauce on it and somehow it tasted like one of the oddest things I’ve had but I liked it a lot. So yeah, a very groovy place with great options and people!

All vegan food except for some added pescatarian dishes! 3 fruit smoothie all organic was super tasty and made just right Soup of the day: Thai coconut mushroom was extra chunky with tofu and mushrooms! Large Mediterranean hummus wrap and Pesto melt was so tasty and the veggies were so super fresh. Thank you so much for this lovely meal!

Good food, people, and vibes! We love stopping by on our quick Keys trips from Miami! Delicious food that makes you feel powerful and even my infant loves the smoothies and soups. Marnie, the owner is one of those people that your feel like you've known forever. A stop here will make your soul happy!

I went to the Miami stop by this restaurant for lunch. First, I didn’t expect it. But It was great. I had 4cheese pizza. Really delicious. My son said he wanted to come one more time. We had a good memory and a nice lunch.

Good pizza, though the dough is a bit sweet for my taste. Very friendly customer service. I went for the popeye, and it was yummy.

Guys I was so happy to hear that you got this place from mean Jim. But despite his awful reputation his pizza was incredible and recipe was great. From the beginning you have been doing great following his recipes but recently something has changed and your pizza, unfortunately, is not the same anymore. And delicious white pizza as well. You guys are very sweet and nice, I wish you luck and happiness, but please bring back the original recipe, it was great before!

This place took a while to come into its own, but I can say that it is great now. The pizza is delicious and fresh. The weird covid crazy owners are long gone. These people are welcoming and friendly. I wish that they delivered.

This Oct 27, Thursday I place order on line because no one answered the phone but that’s nothing new for this business. So put order on line. The order was excepted and confirmed and said that pick up would be @ 6:50. We’ll door was locked and sign on door. Giving employees day off.. Credit card was charged. REALLY About 3 months ago ordered and went to pick up and door locked said they were out of dough. This business is so unreliable very poor. Rating -0. Oct 27 was Thursday not the weekend so what’s that got to do with the weekend? Yes you were closed on 10/27/22 and but my credit card was still charged for 17.44 receipt # S462300798027221 I have not seen a refund as of yet.

This guy makes each menu item a specialty! You can taste it in his pizza(great crust), his fresh wings. Those subs are perfectly accompanied by shredded lettuce onions tomatoes sliced thin...no shortage of meat and all very fresh. If I lived nearby I'd eat here every other night!! Great quality, and fair prices, can't ask for better than that. Thank you Pops Jim's!! We'll be back.😋

What terrible people that work here. I’m visiting from our of town and ordered $100 worth of pizza. They make you wait outside in your car and bring your order to you. That’s all fine in these crazy times but the owner was sooo rude and did not give me my pizza because I didn’t have a mask in my own car. He walked away and told me he’s been telling me this for 16 months? It’s my first time here! Absolutely the worst experience I’ve ever had. Couldn’t tell you how the food was because we never got it. The owners needs to check the news to keep up with the times. We would up at Pizzaworks around the corner which was a far better experience. Do not go here if you expect any kind of service at all.

Super cool restaurant had the best. Coconut shrimp and fished dip found a new vodka that I love monkey in paradise. Super cool. Cool outside outside music, music bar server. Excellent source of information. We had a great time.

Our family of 4 ate here for lunch on the way to Key West from Key Largo! The perfect mid day meal after snorkeling Bahia Honda. Quaint atmosphere with really good food. For lunch- they were not crowded at all, but when we passed back by around dinner there were quite a few cars. We highly recommend this little mom&pop!! Especially the grouper - fish and chips, and poboy! Excellent. 5 stars. I don’t know why this place isn’t packed 24/7. It should be!!

We googled pizza place during our travels and this lovely spot came up. Food was great, came out quick. Cindy, our server was excellent and very attentive. The owners also came out and were very personable and kind.

Amazing selection of burgers and other favorites. Bacon Bourbon and Onion Burger is my favorite! The crew there is super friendly. Plenty of indoor an outdoor seating. Make sure to verify their hours before you head that way - they have variable hours. Closed Mondays.

The restaurant has changed ownership and they are in a re-branding/growth period. The staff is very kind and absolutely doing thier best. It's a very limited menu as they regrow and rebrand. Do not expect the food of photos from 6 months ago...like we did. It's very basic and generic. The beer was very cold and tasty, so they have that going for them🙌.

Menu options are plentiful. Best artichoke/spinach dip EVER. I had the BBQ beef quesadillas. Listed as an appetizer but big enough for a meal. Hamburger was ok but the one we ordered cannot be cooked to order which we didn't know. Excellent food. Excellent service. Went back a 2nd time. Yummy!!

Great little quriky bar and restaurant located on U S Route 1, Big Pine Key FL. Typical bar food , nice staff, pleasant personalities, great ambiance and great patrons. Enjoyed so will you, should you stop by for a visit

Pops Smoke Shed is the real deal! The Classic Burger was perfectly cooked, the okra crispy and spot on, and the Brisket Mac & Cheese loaded with smoky, tender brisket. Loved the lineup of five BBQ sauces—Memphis was my favorite. Washed it down with an Iguana Bait draft, all while the Star-Spangled Banner played in the background. Phenomenal food, great vibe—proud to be an American eating here!

Dropped on this place after a couple of hours at memorial beach. We went for lunch around 1.00 p.m. My wife and I couldn't decide from the excellent selection available so went for 4 meat sampler platter. This was more than enough for the two of us and ended up taking a doggy tray with the food we couldn't eat. Everything was cooked to perfection and the brisket melted in your mouth, the meat fell off the baby back ribs, the chicken breast was huge. Taste was excellent, well seasoned but not overpowering. We had the sides of mac and cheese, coleslaw and potatoe salad which were all fantastic. Great value for money, the bill came to $62 with drinks. Our server was fantastic and couldn't be more helpful. Highly recommended if you're in the area. Many thanks, best food we've had in a long, long time.

Adrienne took great care of us during our visit. We shared the Pop’s Sampler Plate—brisket, pulled pork, ribs, and chicken—with BBQ baked beans and the Friday Lobster Mac. The portions were huge, the food came out fast, and everything was delicious. The sauces were all great, but the meat didn’t need them! Remember to order the Banana Pudding for dessert. It was amazing. Incredible value, and we even enjoyed leftovers the next night on our trip home. Pop’s Smoke Shed is now a must-stop for us whenever we’re in Big Pine Key.

Walked in to this restaurant for the first time and did not know that they were closing in 30 minutes, we asked if it was too late to order and if so that was totally fine. Obviously it was our fault we didn’t look it up. Erica insisted that we order and told us the food they were unfortunately out of which was one of the things I was so excited to try…..Mac & cheese. We ordered Togo, my husband and I got the brisket plate, with potato salad, and green beans and my lord that food was so good we went back a day later, and I got to try the Mac & cheese and it was totally worth going back! I can’t say enough about the food but the service is incredible, the people that work there are just genuinely good, and nice people!

Pop's Smoke Shed in Big Pine Key is the definition of excellent local BBQ! I stopped in for lunch and was completely blown away by the quality. The ribs and mac and cheese were cooked to absolute perfection—tender, smoky, and incredibly satisfying. What truly elevated the meal was the service. Our server, Erin, was fantastic: so nice, polite, and incredibly helpful. If you're looking for top-notch smoked meat and superb hospitality in the Keys, Pop's Smoke Shed is a must-visit. Five stars!

The BBQ was fantastic, the service was great, and the portions were more that we could eat. We got the sampler which let's you try two sides, and all four meats, and we couldn't finish it. Well worth it, and honestly, the prices were very good for what you get!!!

My wife and I stopped in for a late lunch about 3:00. We started with an appetizer of burnt ends and they were fabulous. We then opted for the 4 meat sampler with 2 sides. It was enough food that we had to take some home. Erica , our waitress, was very attentive and sincerely interested in our opinions of what we thought of the food. We tried the side dish of Au Gratin potatoes, which was new and not yet on the menu. The dish was very good and will be a hit when it reaches the menu. Being a fairly new restaurant, we felt true care and pride came through unlike many restaurants that are just interested in turning tables. We look forward to the next time we are in the area and will be stopping in again. Anyone trying this place out will not be disappointed.

The food was amazing! We ordered a variety of seafood and vegan options and each was cooked and presented to perfection. The piner roll was good but still a mystery on the ingredients! Seemed understaffed for a Friday night. Our server was pleasant and keeping up as best as possible. Interesting setting and clean bathroom. Despite tiki bar decor... no alcohol?

This place is absolute gem. The food is as beautiful as it is delicious. The chef is an artist with his (or her) dishes. There was a beautiful selection of desserts as well. A great selection for kids and not just standard chicken strips and fries kind of options for them. The service was astounding! Everything was clean (even the bathroom). I will definitely visit this place again when we come back.

Super cute Polynesian vibe with great gluten free options. I had a poke bowl that was easily made gluten free for me as almost all of their sauces are gluten free. Other dishes we ordered were spicy tuna roll, chicken sandwich and tacos. All items were delicious and service was very prompt and well educated on dietary restrictions. Can’t wait to go visit there again!

The sushi is fresh- The Piner is our favorite because we like variety. Even our "least" favorite we've gotten was still good! The sandwiches are delicious and unique. Cool vibe inside but we've only ordered pickup.

I stopped in during a dinner rush, and left completely obsessed. The poke bowl was the standout—packed with crisp veggies, ripe fruit, and the freshest ingredients I’ve had in a long time. Everything was beautifully balanced, from the citrusy tang to the creamy textures. The service was friendly, the space was clean and welcoming, and the food? Chef’s kiss. Whether you’re craving something light, healthy, or totally Instagram-worthy, this spot delivers, catering to my food allergy also made me feel so welcomed…!!!

A Hidden Gem in Big Pine! Forks and Stix is hands down the best poke/sushi restaurant in all the keys. Owners Lisa and Geno are the heart and soul of this place. From the moment you walk in, they greet you with such warmth and kindness. The food, absolutely phenomenal! Every dish tastes like a freshly prepared masterpiece full of vibrant, balanced flavors that make every bite a delight. I love that you can choose your spice level, making each dish perfectly tailored to your taste. Every dish always tastes fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. Honestly, after that first bite, I find myself doing a little happy dance every single time. And don’t even get me started on the desserts, OMG! Lisa makes them all herself, and they’re nothing short of mouthwatering perfection. Each one is pure comfort on a plate. A delicate balance of sweetness, depth and artistry. The sweetest way to end a meal. A big shoutout to Gage and Kaylee, they’re both incredible! The service is always top notch, always engaging, attentive, and friendly. Their energy and professionalism make every visit even better. Everything about Forks and Stix is pure joy from the people to the food to the atmosphere. If you’re anywhere near Big Pine, do yourself a favor and stop by. You’ll leave full, happy, and already planning your next visit.

So after initial misunderstanding; I finally got to come visit this wonderful place. I am not much of a poke bowl person but ! This it was fresh it was great! I had the house roll (tiny) and it was delicious. Server was nice and sweet. I am very glad I came in today it was a great lunch. Only thing that would make it better would be some saki! ❣️

Super cool restaurant had the best. Coconut shrimp and fished dip found a new vodka that I love monkey in paradise. Super cool. Cool outside outside music, music bar server. Excellent source of information. We had a great time.

Our family of 4 ate here for lunch on the way to Key West from Key Largo! The perfect mid day meal after snorkeling Bahia Honda. Quaint atmosphere with really good food. For lunch- they were not crowded at all, but when we passed back by around dinner there were quite a few cars. We highly recommend this little mom&pop!! Especially the grouper - fish and chips, and poboy! Excellent. 5 stars. I don’t know why this place isn’t packed 24/7. It should be!!

We googled pizza place during our travels and this lovely spot came up. Food was great, came out quick. Cindy, our server was excellent and very attentive. The owners also came out and were very personable and kind.

Amazing selection of burgers and other favorites. Bacon Bourbon and Onion Burger is my favorite! The crew there is super friendly. Plenty of indoor an outdoor seating. Make sure to verify their hours before you head that way - they have variable hours. Closed Mondays.

Menu options are plentiful. Best artichoke/spinach dip EVER. I had the BBQ beef quesadillas. Listed as an appetizer but big enough for a meal. Hamburger was ok but the one we ordered cannot be cooked to order which we didn't know. Excellent food. Excellent service. Went back a 2nd time. Yummy!!

The restaurant has changed ownership and they are in a re-branding/growth period. The staff is very kind and absolutely doing thier best. It's a very limited menu as they regrow and rebrand. Do not expect the food of photos from 6 months ago...like we did. It's very basic and generic. The beer was very cold and tasty, so they have that going for them🙌.

Great little quriky bar and restaurant located on U S Route 1, Big Pine Key FL. Typical bar food , nice staff, pleasant personalities, great ambiance and great patrons. Enjoyed so will you, should you stop by for a visit

We had an amazing experience at Boardwalk Bar & Grill in Big Pine Key! Food: Everything we ordered was delicious and fresh. The prime rib with sweet potato fries was cooked perfectly, and the steamed clams in garlic butter were full of flavor—true Florida Keys seafood perfection! Service: The team was friendly, attentive, and made us feel right at home. Drinks were refilled quickly, and the staff had great recommendations. Atmosphere: The waterfront views and laid-back Keys vibe make this spot the perfect place to relax. Whether you’re here for dinner, a casual drink, or fresh seafood, the atmosphere is unbeatable. If you’re visiting the Florida Keys or looking for fresh seafood, prime rib, and great drinks in Big Pine Key, Boardwalk Bar & Grill is a must-visit. Highly recommend and can’t wait to come back!

This is good spot to dine in the portions are high, its a loud place but we can talk. We thought the tips are higher than expected. Overall its good spot to hangout

I was camping in the area for 8 days last week. A work / vacation combo. I looked up this place because they had football on. Great food, reasonable prices. Good atmosphere. Hunter was awesome to me and my wife. Over the course of a week, I think we went there four times. Highly recommended!

Matt is amazing. We sat and watched him run around like a chicken with his head off Serving customers and handling to go orders while his coworker with the 00 days sober shirt sat on butt and socialized with bar patrons. We ordered a large brisket pizza and it exceeded our expectations.

Update:: This time we went in and ate. We had a salad with the conch fritters and smoked brisket pizza all were amazing! The salad was fresh and crisp and wasn’t just plain lettuce which is always nice. Which brings us to the conch fritters, these just might be the best we’ve had so far in the islands(our family jokes that we have to try them everywhere that serves conch fritters so far I think these have been the best) there were big chunks of conch in them and they were fried perfectly. The pizza was bomb too the cheese was so good and buttery I really like the combination of the tomatoes on top with the brisket underneath the cheese. I highly recommend going in and eating at this location instead of getting it to go.

I can see why locals come here a lot. Wonderful fish and cocktails. A big thank you to our server, Red, for the hospitality. I wanted mahi and I got a great mahi dinner. Would absolutely stop here again.

Food was great as always. But the service was AMAZING! Our favorite local spot. Thank you for a great night out Adam and Hannah! ❤️

We’ve ordered pizza regularly for over a year now from them and it is consistently good. Rachel does her best to make sure the food is consistently good. My kids asked for ranch flavored chicken wings and they made it happen. Definitely give them a try and we order regularly. Their lunch special is quick and easy as well.

Ever since Rachel has taken over I’ve been here on minimum 3 x a week. Pizza is excellent, service is amazing and Rachel’s baked goods are phenomenal. Next Level! Rachel , Brie , Bridgett.. doesn’t matter. Service is always excess I’m always greeted with a smile and some wonderful conversation. A must come to and the only pizza spot in the keys worth while.

AMAZING pizza, salads & knots. Super nice people and fast service. Love picking up and taking our dinner for a picnic nearby to Bahia or Pine Channel. So happy they are here in Big Pine!

I come here almost everyday! I love the service is a BIG PLUS FOR ME IT'S GREAT! I love the homemade banana bread baked by Rachel THE BEST! and so are the chicken wings and salads WON'T disappoint you come in and try! 😋🤤🍞🍗🥗

Not a whole lot of options down here, but you don’t need them with Driftwood Express around! Ordered for the first time yesterday. The ladies were super kind and friendly and the place smelled clean and was flooded with all the right pizza parlor smells. I modified our pizza and the request was accommodated. When I finally got home to share this amazing smelling pizza with my husband, it tasted even better! Excellent ingredients and properly portioned! Perfect cook on a delicious crust! I think we might order again tonight! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!! (We were too hungry to take a pic, but it was picture worthy)

Definitely our favorite pizza on the island. Great undercarriage. They deliver super quick. And are super generous within the community. :)

Best pizza in the lower keys. No crazy wait time. Had an order that was a little off and Rae went above and beyond to replace our order. Definitely a local go to.
