m.e.a.t. eatery & tap room

eat here! driving through the keys you probably want somewhere outside that serves fish and conch fritters. take a break from that! if you love meat or are a "foodie" (hate that term but it applies) do yourself a favor and stop at meat. the food is all homemade and house smoked. fantastic beer selection, including fl craft brew, and a nice selection of wines. i had the blt w house smoked bacon and fried green tomato. it was more bacon than tomato, but what do you expect from a place called meat? the tomato was sweet and perfectly fried, and the bacon, ohh the bacon was divine. it was served w slaw and i added a side of house made spicy pickles. while not too spicy, they were delicious fresh pickles. the only negative, if even that, would be the slaw. it was forgettable, however worked as a pallate cleanser between bacon, pickles and my husbandsfriesi kept stealing so i could sample the housemade ketchup and mustard. both amazeballs. the service is friendly and knowledgable and if its a view you need, peek out the front door and you can see the water across the street as you sink your teeth into some delicious meat.

easy delicious food in a laid back atmosphere. it's our go to spot on trips up and down the keys. the trufflefriesare awesome as are the burgers.

fabulous. a small place that makes as much of their own stuff as possible, including the ketchup and mustard. the specials looked interesting, but we decided to go off the menu. my wife had the house burger with provolone cheese added. i had the inside-out juicy lucy burger with cheddar instead of american cheese. both were very flavorful and thefrieswere also quite good, and i am normally not afriesperson. the ketchup had a hint of chipotle and worked well with the fries. i also had a guiness stout. we shared a reese peanut butter cup bread pudding, which was very smooth and tasty. if we were close by we would be regular customers.

best hot dogs ever!. we eat here regularly as they have the best sabrett hotdogs i have ever had. starting with the fresh, toasted bread to the push cart onions, you really can't go wrong if you are a hot dog lover like i am. the trufflefriesare a must have with the hot dog so don't forget to update. great price, great food!

stopped today for lunch. its a small plaza in a small plaza but let me tell you the the black and bleu burger was outstanding and thefriesso yummy. we have been coming to the keys yearly for a while now abd this is one of the best places to eat. yummy

wow. our family stopped here for lunch and we ended up having the best burger of my life. my 11 year old son was a little nervous about hisfriesbeing cooked in duck fat, but he ate them up.frieswould have been great for any kid or adult. the pub was very clean and the staff were very friendly and attentive. excellent craft beer. please stop for lunch here if you want a great burger

good solid burger - husband had a standard burger and i had a lamb burger with blue cheese and onions - very very good.friesare good and crisp, fresh made with sea salt. eclectic beer selection, nice wines - really good place. don't be fooled by exterior.

can't go wrong. the food was delish. i had a burger andfries- don't remember the exact one but i do remember how wonderful it tasted. i wish we had one in wisco!

worth a two-hour drive.... ...on a friend's recommendtion -- time well spent! amazing draft beer selection complemented well-prepared eats: we had the chorizo benedict (a weekend special, but the "chorizo patti" from the regular menu would probably be almost as good) and a "nancy pants" burger (a small version of their standard size). had the burger rare with house-made bacon, and while it was tasty, it was easily outshone by the chorizo benedict. (looks like meat does just about everything benedict-style on the weekend: try it!) another shining star was the duck-fatfrieswhich came with the burger: could have continued eating them forever...but it was not to be. also on my menu for next time: homemade pork cracklins'...sounds like heaven!
