I come and eat at Smoked BBQ every time I visit Key West. I fish out of the City Marina and this place is a must. Try the full rack of ribs with the homemade potato salad and coleslaw - it’s the cherry on top of a day offshore. - Big thanks to the Smoked BBQ team for being conveniently located and reliably delicious!

This place was suggested to me by a coworker, I went there and i was not disappointed. Customer service was amazing, the mac and cheese was fantastic! If you like bbq you should definitely check this place out. The sangria snuck up on me, overall i would definitely eat here again, & would suggest this place to others. Please try the mac & cheese. Next time ill try the wings. :)

They deserve 20 five stars! The service- top notch! The food- insanely fantastic! The ambience- Super cool, on the water! As a Texas native, we've been searching for good BBQ for the last 2 years! Who would've thought we'd find it in Key West for our 1st time?! Check them out...you will NOT be disappointed!!

I’m a huge BBQ fan. We have some outstanding barbecue back home but Smoked BBQ on the water has been my top places to eat barbecue. I usually visit this place a few times when I visit Key West. The food is perfectly smoked with amazing dry rubs. The BBQ sauces are made in house and they do not disappoint. I think I’ve tried all of his sides and they are all amazingly prepared. The cheesy corn and potato salad are uniquely amazing. The owner is a great person. Comes out and visits with you. Very friendly. You can tell he loves to do this because he happily explains his process. 10/10. I recommend this place to everyone.

A very fun hidden gem. Great BBQ. It is a bit hard to find, keep searching, it is worth it. Right on the water. Watch the boats and enjoy!!

This restaurant is a hidden gem in key West I don't understand why they don't have more business from the tourists. But I think it's one of the best BBQ spots Ive had in a long time and probably some of the best smoked ribs and chicken I've EVER had. Would highly recommend this to anyone that wants top tier BBQ

Three meats. Three sides. Five stars! We picked our combo tray clean in short order (burnt ends, pulled pork, sausage, cuke salad, baked beans, above-average fries, and a slice of bread). This no-frills place on the water adds a little somethin' somethin' to the simple pleasure of eating good food. Would most certainly eat there again and recommend it to others.
