As soon as you walk in the atmosphere is alive and electric. Young lady at the counter of a very recognizable food truck takes your order and excites the transaction without even the blink of an eye. I had the most exciting Hot Dog in my life and I have had all the greats from American to English, German, Italian, Thai and many others that I could go on with. But this was a hot dog like no other. A Kogi Dog, A 1/4 pound national deli all beef hot dog, house made kimchi, sesame mayo, fried cheese, cabbage, scallions, carrots, daikon, citrus soy dressing, and sriracha. This dog had more popping tastes than there were Japs at Pearl Harbor.
This is my wife and I favorite spot in all of Key West. It's attached to Hank's bar which is also a fun time. The drinks are flowing. The food is delicious and the live music is usually 10 out of 10. The food truck, which is garbo's grill has done something that one didn't think it was possible which is serving tastier seafood than a traditional restaurant. The tacos to the lobster roll they're truly, is not a bad option on the menu. We love this place so much that our wedding weekend had a night specifically here for all of our friends and family to enjoy. It's also very dog friendly, which is always a plus. We come back every single trip because it's a "can't miss". The service is always quick and efficient.
The burger was great, Korean beef tacos were very flavorful and full of meat (dry and saucy at the same time). Shrimp tacos were pretty good but cold. Service was fast and friendly. Live music from place it is attached to. Very minimal seating and tables/chairs were not very clean. Wouldn't avoid the place and wouldn't seek it out either.
First let me say this was a late night snack. I had a beef burrito that was Korean style I believe. The meat which was 95%+ beef was very tender cuts of beef. There was very little if any for fill like cabbage or any vegetables. also the meat was so saturated with soy and other seasoning that you could not hold it. It was dripping everywhere. My experience with Asian is a little go goes a long way for soy or other seasonings. I know they come highly rated but I think they could tailor this to still be a very popular offering and much more profitable with some cabbage and carrot and less of that very tender beef.
I decided to try this food truck because everyone was raving about the burgers. I let the server pick my meal for me as I wanted to try the most popular burger. Service was quick and I was able to entertain myself in the neighboring establishment while I waited. The burger was so tasty that I didn't need to add any condiments. The meat was a little on the salty side but well cooked. I thoroughly enjoyed my food and definitely plan to return the next time I visit Key West.
Great place to grab a bite from a food truck hooked onto hanks bar. Food is fresh . Hot dogs on the spicier side with fresh mango and sauce and a sweeter soft bun. The bowls are full of great fresh shrimp and slaw. Very flavorful. Took a while as they were one person down, yet with live music and dogs from hanks bar it did not matter to us much.
Great spot for food and drinks in a fun outdoor beer garden environment that somehow feels secluded from the hustle of nearby Duval Street. The food is awesome: a fun menu of quick, fresh, and flavorful made-to-order meals at a good price point. Unfussy but nutritious. Bar atmosphere is energetic but not overwhelming. Great drinks with relaxed but friendly service, great music. Definitely hit up this spot!
Every time I visit Garbo's I'm surprised by the portion size. There no such thing as a small meal and that's okay! Seats are a premium and you may find yourself standing for dinner. However, Key West is the perfect place to eat outside with some lights hanging from the trees with a live band playing. It's good for families, good for couples, and a pretty good place overall for a fairly quick bite to eat.
Came here for dinner during our first evening in town. We walked right up to it just off of Duval Street and had no idea it was attached to a bar with live music going on. A pleasant surprise. So we found a table, got some drinks, and then came over to order some grub. We started off with the Yum Yum Shrimp Burrito (house made mango ginger habanero glazed shrimp, served Cayo Style (red cabbage, mango, onion, jalapeno, cilantro, and our house Caribbean sauce)). This thing was massive. And it was delicious. Massively delicious. Good amount of shrimp in there, cooked well, with a sweet heat from the glaze, beautiful. Lots of veg inside, too, but not too much, everything had it's purpose. Crunchy red cabbage, bite from the onion, heat from the jalapeno, it was just very good. Get this. Next came the UmamiBurger (1/2lb fresh ground angus, topped with a heirloom tomato, applewood bacon, chipotle gouda then served on a grilled brioche bun. If you are feeling adventurous ask for the Landon Calrissian). This thing was also huge. I had no idea I'd get excellent portion sizes on an island that's basically a tourist trap. This burger was perfect. I can't stress that enough. Just go look at the pic. Large, juicy, well-seasoned, extra cheesy, perfect amount of veg, a strong bun, served with Voodoo chips. This might be the best thing I ate all my time on Key West. Oh, and yes, I did get the Lando(n?) Calrissian. What that is is a heaping scoop of their Korean beef bulgogi in addition to their burger patty. So good. So ridiculous it was a lot of fun. The final thing were the Korean BBQ Tacos (house made marinated beef short rib, napa cabbage, scallions, carrots, daikon, cilantro, citrus soy dressing, and sriracha). These were less tacos and more just an excessive amount of meat falling off of a tortilla. Not complaining. It was excellent. Their marinade was very apartment and strong. But not too strong. All the little veg items basically made this a delicious bahn mi taco. Very good. My visit here was amazing. Amazing food, amazing patio with live music, a full bar on property with booze and N/A options. Honestly, if I ever come back to the Keys, I'd come back here.
Pros: Ambiance is unparalleled. A food truck in the middle of a big patio with a live music stage. Music every night of the year. A bar in the middle of that patio, too. What else could you ask for? Service was good. Bartenders are walking around, checking on you pretty consistently. The food itself took a long time to be ready, but that's ok. The music occupied us. The food itself was surprising quality for coming from a truck. Very well marinated beef, a huge, juicy burger patty, and Voodoo chips! Cons: No real cons. Just be prepared for the food to take a while. Tips: Get the burger. Ask for it Lando Calrissian style. Trust me.

Pictures and reviews looked great, but the food was not as good as it looked. My Korean beef tacos had a lot of meat, but the flavor was lacking. I did not finish this as it was not that tasty. Basically kinda dry and over cooked. The wife's fish tacos were good, but we had to go back and have them add the jalapeños that they did not include as ordered. As there are so many better places to eat in Key West, while just ok, I would look elsewhere when I return. read more

We ordered the shrimp tacos, the fish tacos and the mango hot dog. Delicious. My order of favorites was: fish, shrimp, mango hot dog. My wife's order of favorites was shrimp tacos, mango hot dog and fish taco. (We split all 3). Bottom line, absolutely would recommend and you can order anything and be very satisfied. Kinda sticky but absolutely worth it. read more

Food: We ordered the yum yum fish taco, mango dog and mushroom tacos. The tacos aren't that good as the reviews suggest. It's quite bland. They do not offer chicken options. Consider this place only if you want to try shrimp taco. Although the key lime pie is one of the BEST I have ever tried. 10/10 for key lime pie. Drinks: Key lime pineapple mojito was quite delicious. Service: it is an opening seating place and has self service. Ambiance: there is live music every evening. read more

Okay food. Overpriced for tacos. Super packed here on Saturday night of course. First come first serve for seating/table. I Like that they have huge fans blowing everywhere. It helps with mosquitoes and the humidity. The burger was over cooked and greasy. Lacked flavor. The tacos were overpriced and it comes with two of the same. I didn't like that I couldn't mix and match. They only have the deal for one of each taco during happy hour. I would pay extra during none HH times if I could get one of each taco. The shrimp tacos were okay. The Cayo style was better than the Korean style. It was packed with cabbage and about 4 pieces of shrimps each. read more

Staff is friendly and ambiance is a vibe. Live music and great drinks next door at Hanks. UMAMIBURGER- Enjoy this mouth watering burger (Video explains it all) I/2ib fresh ground angus, topped with a heirlom tomato applewood bacon, chipotle gouda then served on a griled brioche bun. Lobster Roll- Liked this style more than than Djs clam shack (Personal preference-sorry not sorry) Yum-Yum Shrimp (Naked-Cayo style) Korean BBQ tacos- Must try if you're into Korean BBQ Also reccomend getting a drink from Hanks saloon (not pictured, I drank it all) read more
First of all this DDD isn't the easiest to find... That's because it's tucked away off of Caroline St and connected to Hanks Hair of the dog saloon. That used to be a place called Grunts years ago. Just look for a small neon sign that's located at the street. Garbo's is a small airstream that is located in the back of the dive bar next door. We came in for lunch, shortly after they opened. For her, those Korean bbq tacos with the sriracha on the side. That's a good idea if you're trying them. As they are already a little spicy to begin with. I chose the Umami burger with Gouda cheese. Both were excellent. Just a tip, you'll need extra napkins for either one. It's a fun area, they do offer up booze that's available from next door. That also has live music daily. Small courtyard at Garbo's with 9 or 10 tables to get your grub on. DDD#26 Enjoy read more

This is a permanent food truck inside Hank's bar. They are serving up some late night seafood treats that I found to be pretty tasty! Friend got the lobster roll and I got the mahi tacos and both were stellar! Price for both dishes combined was about $42, but worth it. The fish/lobster were very fresh as you would expect. Plus you can keep partying while you eat! read more

I am definitely giving this place 5 stars. I am glad this place exists because it is hard to find affordable places with tasty food in Key West. The food truck, run by a lovely couple, is tucked behind Hank Hair of the Dog Saloon. BTW, you can also order drinks from the Saloon. The bartenders will come around to take your drink order. Garbo Grill is certainly eclectic. They serve interesting tacos, burritos, burgers, and hot dogs. My favorite item is the Korean BBQ tacos. I just love that it is sweet, spicy, and citrusy at the same time. Also, they are not cheap with the meat either. So far, it is my favorite place to eat in Key West. read more

Featured on diners, drive-ins, and dives, this place has excellent even if a bit pricey outside of happy hours (daily 4-6 or 10-12midnight). We loved the Korean bbq burrito and yum yum shrimp tacos. Scrumptious, grilled, spicy, flavor-filled and perfectly cooked! No rubber shrimp here! We've been back twice on this trip so far! read more

Thanks for sharing some great pics and a review.
This lived up to the hype. Wandered here solo mid day for a pick me up. Had no idea it was on dinners drive in and dives, and WOAH- flavor overload in the best way. I was shocked that the Korean bbq was my favorite out of the trio it was unreal. $11 for 3 tacos during happy hour 4-6 read more

Garbo's Grill is a food truck in the back of Hank's Hair of the Dog. There is lots of outdoor seating in an extremely fun atmosphere surrounded by trees. We originally came during lunch time and wanted to just try several different kinds of tacos. However, there was no way to order a single taco or change out the singular taco type combos on their menu, so it would have cost about $45 to try 3 different tacos. We came back during happy hour, which is from 4-7pm. They had a 3 taco platter for $11, which consisted of fish, shrimp and Korean bbq. The Korean bbq taco was fantastic and I would come back just to eat that. read more

Wow, we're so happy you felt that way--thanks so much!
So cool of a place! Tucked away behind Hanks, this little food truck cranks out delectable tacos, burgers and dogs off their grill. We had the Lorean beef and shrimp tacos. Both were delish! The beef taco was tender and flavorful but would have benefited from having a sauce o think. My daughter had the burger and loved it! The Zapp's creole chips is a nice touch. From Hank's you get to experience the live music. They have shade everywhere and fans blowing to keep the air moving on a hot day. Very good idea to stop here for some great grub and live tunes. read more

Two of my friends and I came on a Sunday at 1PM for a quick bite before walking around town. The tacos were very tasty and took about 10-15 minutes. They had live music which was fun. They also had fans outside and there was some shade so it wasn't too hot. read more

Korean BBQ tacos for the win. Fish tacos also very good. Easy to order, easier to eat. Enjoyed variety of bevs at neighboring bar, not to mention live music and restrooms nearby. Artist helped lead entire group in singing happy birthday to my wife...she hated it..which made it all the better. Food truck situated in a cute tropical ally. Just go. read more

Yes, we love the dogs . Thank you for taking the time to share.
I'm a little confused of the set up. We went up to order our food and paid, then sat down with our beeper, a server came up to us while waiting. Served us drinks and paid again with the server? Its almost like the food truck is a seperate establishment from the bar/entertainment. Anyway, other than that, good music, good food, good folks, not bad. Would I recommend this place? Yes, at least for a try. My wife said the pina colada was bangin. Yum yum shrimp burrito korean style - 8/10 PROS: Tasted very good CONS: Price to portion ratio was ehh Umamiburger - 9/10 PROS: Double the patty, seasoned well. Tasted delicious. CONS: There was something chunky in the meat, chewy like tendons. I'm personally ok with it idk if it's for everyone. read more

Thank you, great recommendation.
Ate dinner here after watching the sunset at Mallory square. This is a food truck style that is located at Hanks bar. We got here just before the bigger crowds came and were able to find a seat immediately despite it being seat yourself. There was a pretty good band playing at hanks. We got there just before happy hour ended and for 3 tacos for $11 which I think is a steal. Fish, shrimp and Korean beef which I thought were all very good. read more

Interesting set up, the food truck is all the way in the back but there is an outdoor seating area where a waitress comes to you for only drink orders. Once you place your food order you get a buzzer then pick up at the truck when it alerts you. We split the Korean BBQ tacos woah they fill them to the max with delicious meat! My friends both got the Kogi dog which they devoured and her son got the wagyu burger which was a bit of a disappointment. My cousin also got the shrimp tacos which were delicious but way overpriced for the amount of shrimp they give you. Our waitress was a funny character and checked up on us regularly. In the back next to the truck they also have some souvenirs for purchase. Chill spot to try out just be cautious of the price/portion for some of the menu items. read more
