“Try having just one Sloppy Joe... It's NOT possible!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed May 26, 2012 NEW

I was in Key West in March 2006 and knew before getting there that I had to try Sloppy Joe's. The Sloppy Joe sandwich was SO good, I came back 2 additional times to eat it because I kept craving it! We also tried the conch fritters and conch chowder which were good as well. It can get super busy... More

“Pete and Wayne and Great Food and Sloppy Ritas!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed May 25, 2012 NEW

The biggest problem with Sloppy Ritas is they go down way too smooth! We ate dinner there and it was good as always. Plus we always try to catch Pete and Wayne's show, and they are hilarious! Sloppy's is ALWAYS a Do-Over! More

Music was too loud (at 3 p.m.) but the drinks were good and the bartender was awesome and gave lots of good "locals" recommendations. More

“Good old bar......”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed May 24, 2012 NEW

Stopped here for a snack as we were hungry after walking around. Great beer on draft, live music and good food. Packed with people, lots of atmosphere and a great place to stop off for an hour or so. More

“It is what it is”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed May 22, 2012 NEW

Loud cover band? Check. Multiple bars? Check. Crowds having a good time and not being bothered by much of anything? All of that check, check too. A standard in Key West from what our group was told. Fun band playing very current pop covers and a free-flowing atmosphere that comes with being in the heart of Duval Street. Nice spot... More

“Staff on safety patrol!”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed May 22, 2012 NEW

Super fun bar scene! Our friends from DC happened to be playing there while we were staying...so cool. My hubby got to shake his bum bum on stage and everything! This is an anything-goes kind of place (evidenced by the fact that a woman heartily grabbed my breasts on the dance floor). The frozen drinks were good at night and... More

This restaurant should be renamed Dirty & Sloppy Joe's! The sloppy fries were horrible. They had a sweet hamburg mixture over them that was just horrible! The waitress was bothered to take our order and in a big hurry! The floors and the entire establishment was so dirty I wouldn't use the bathroom, but the first bathroom I found I... More

“Famous place to go once”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed May 21, 2012 NEW

This is a must see, just because of the history if anything. The live music is good, and the drinks were tasty...but expensive. The wait staff seemed to busy to really pay us much time, or conversation. It is worth maybe having a quick drink, but go elsewhere for food. It is expensive, and really not the best on the... More
