We went here based on fellow Trip Advisor reviewer's raves. This place is far from the strip mall fare its location and exterior suggest. Inside is a bar with metal facing, diamond plate edging and squashy stools. There are about five or is tables. There are two big televisions showing sports and lots of interesting artwork on the walls. Very... More

After a day traveling to Islamorada this was a great place for a casual quick dinner of a variety of burgers and lobster mac n cheese. Lots of good beers on tap. Everything was top notch including the servers. There is good reason this is #1 restaurant in this area. Don't be afraid to try something different here. It is... More

We made an unexpected stop in isla morada on way to marathon and what's nice surprise. The burgers were delicious and cooked perfectly medium rare. Great beer selection and helpful staff to help with selection. Will definitely be back for a repeat visit. Also a plus, all were nice to our small children.

we read all the reviews on Meat and just had to go there. We actually hit it on out way back from Key West to Miami. The reviews did not give it justice. Spotlessly clean and actually a really cool place. My husband had the Kobe burger which when he added all of the extras was about $26.00 which at... More

Tried MEAT for the first time yesterday. Staff was friendly, burgers were good, not great. Based on previous reviews I expected hot crispy fries, but they were warm and a little soggy. Great selection of micro brewed beers on tap, unfortunately no frosted mugs just a chilled glass.

Finally I got to taste Chef George Patti version of Spanish Frita Burger and I loved the new twist he gave it, it has a little kick of hot on it, but is not that much. I love his food because he always has new foods for us to try here in the Keys. His taste is extremely creative and... More

You could easily drive past the MEAT unless you know to look for it. It's a tiny hole-in-the-wall in a small strip-mall. Very friendly staff from the moment you walk in. They instruct you to talk a menu, review it, and order at the counter. Staff was polite and super friendly! I had a regular cheeseburger and my boyfriend had... More

My first trip was a a juror at the local courthouse so I was in a little hurry to get my food. It was worth the wait -- they were making everything fresh. My pulled pork was outstanding including the fresh bun! On my next trip I brought my daughter and her boyfriend, we shared the sides of the onion... More
