A funky Key West gem known for its vibrant atmosphere, delicious Floridian-Caribbean dishes, and unbeatable key lime pie, all under the shade of swaying palm trees.
"If you’ve done even a tiny amount of research on where to eat in Key West, you’ve probably seen the words Blue Heaven. And this classic is worth a visit. That’s not because of the seafood-heavy menu—which is fine, if a little antiquated—but because there’s just something about the outdoor space that channels the very essence of Key West. Tables are scattered beneath a huge tree that hangs over the entire restaurant, and there’s usually live music playing at the ideal volume. If nothing on the menu is speaking to you, just get the cheeseburger and a slice of their famous key lime pie with a ridiculously tall hat of meringue. There will be a wait during busy season, but if you’re just here for the pie, you can buy a slice at Blue Heaven’s outdoor bar across the street and watch someone sing cover songs." - ryan pfeffer
"Blue Heaven is a true Key West institution, an outdoor oasis where chickens roam free and brunch is served daily. Menu items include chocolate chip pancakes, hearty salads, shrimp and grits, and Jamaican jerk chicken. Live music adds to the ambiance of clucking chickens and relaxed vibes. Don’t skip the Key Lime pie, especially if you prefer meringue over whipped cream." - Amber Love Bond
"A timeless institution where chickens roam free, serving hearty breakfast plates in a courtyard." - Amber Love Bond
"Arguably the most acclaimed Key lime pie on the island comes from Blue Heaven, where a cartoonishly high mound of meringue gets piled on a comparatively thin layer of filling before receiving a meticulously even golden brown toast on the outside." - Shay Spence
"Known as one of the top brunch spots in town, this Key West staple offers bites like Florida shrimp omelet, lobster and grits, or Good Morning Bruschetta (chevre, avocado, scrambled egg whites with fresh tomato salsa and jalapeno atop a crunch bruschetta). Sit in the courtyard where chickens and cats roam free." - Alona Martinez
