We went here our first night (Sunday) in Siesta Key mainly because of the live music as we walked past. I ordered the pulled pork sandwich and my wife had the pulled chicken sandwich. The pulled pork was awesome and my wife felt that the chicken was a little under cooked. The live music was awesome and the beer selection... More

While at Siesta Key FL and looking for lunch, we found Blu Que. Not a real fancy place but well worth the time. It was a tropical type place with steel drum music. You can set outside or dine indoors. There is a special each day and the prices are reasonable (very). They have some of the best clam chowder... More

We went there for the pig roast, the website says pulled pork sandwich and pig roast on sunday, but dont mentioned its not for lunch...only dinner. Well, they recommended the pulled pork sandwich, and we ordered it plus french fries... More

Went to Blu Q anticipating great BBQ - I mean with a name like that, what's their speciality? We all ordered ribs and they were very dry and charcoal coated. They kindly redid the order and the second attempt appeared to have no charcoal on the outside but they were so over cooked and just as dry. We could not... More

Unfortunately asking a local where to get good seafood led us astray. Spent 100 dollars on lunch and the food was disgusting. My husband orders lobster frequently and we had to throw out 2 entire lobsters as they were under cooked and not clean. Soft shell crab sandwich was poor. The waitress disappears after we questioned the food. We paid... More

This place is solid. Really would have liked to given it 3 1/2 stars! I wouldn't rave about their food but it was good. Overall it was enjoying evening. The prices on drinks and food were reasonable for the Key. The service for a table of 8 on a weekend night was great!! They take reservations! The live music was... More

After a bad experience at another Siesta Key restaurant, we ended up at Blu Que on our first night in Siesta Key. So glad we did! The outdoor bar was packed for happy hour, but we were able to snag the last cocktail table. No sooner had we sat down, when Tony (the bartender) acknowledged us and headed over with... More

When we arrived for our reservation, we were seated promptly. The service started off well with drink orders and suggestions on the menu. However, when our food arrived, the 1.5 pounds of crab legs had bugs all over the meal. The waiter said "this happens in Florida" and suggested we put hot sauce on the plates around the table.
