The pure deliciousness of EVERYTHING. These people know how to cook with flavor. I even loved their potato salad, which I don't usually like at all. We ordered the two meat platter and it was plenty for two people to share. Delicious! read more

Really good BBQ here, super tender. I wouldn't say it's the best I've ever had, but it's pretty dang good. The brisket, pulled pork and ribs were all solid. Baked beans were a little sweet for my taste, but still good. Coleslaw is also sweet, but it's flavorful. Really enjoyed the jalapeño cornbread; again it's slightly sweet but also has the jalapeño spice. They have three BBQ sauces available - sweet, spicy and Carolina mustard based. I found the spicy to be my favorite. It's a food truck so there's no indoor seating but they do have some covered picnic tables (the breeze helps but keep the temperature in mind when visiting). With all the food being ready ahead of time, it doesn't take long to get your food. The lady taking orders at the food truck window was very pleasant and delivers your food to the table if you're eating there. Getting a plate or two to take home is also a popular option. Definitely give them a try if you're passing by and like BBQ. read more

I don't usually do reviews on delivery orders. That's because most of the time the food you have delivered is subpar and just not as good as a visit to the establishment. However, every now and again you come across one it is so good. You have to let everyone know. The sausage was flavorful, the brisket was tender and juicy, and the chicken was smoked to perfection. The green beans and coleslaw were both nice additions, but they were beat out by the jalapeño cornbread.. It was moist, sweet, but just a hint of spice to live in it up. I enjoyed every last bite and was left wanting more. I will have to stop in the next time I am through and try some more options off their menu. If you were in Key Largo and looking to have something delivered, I highly suggest you look up Mike's. read more

Mike's BBQ 101 - 3 meat combo - Food Trucks Near Me - Key Largo, Florida

When I head down to the Florida Keys, I'm usually laser-focused on seafood, but Mike's BBQ 101 is so ridiculously good it's worth a detour mission to Key Largo just for lunch. I've probably driven past this food truck a hundred times without stopping (clearly my taste buds were asleep at the wheel) until my mom (yes, my mom) blew my cover and told me about it. Nothing like being BBQ-schooled and one upped on Yelp by your own mother. One visit and I was wrecked in the best way. The brisket, pulled pork, and St. Louis ribs (and I'm normally a baby-back loyalist) were outrageously tender and smoky, just like they'd been slow-cooked by angels with culinary degrees. Easily some of the best barbecue I've ever had, and I've aggressively researched this topic. Mike himself popped out to say hello and even gave me a behind-the-scenes tour of the smoker. The man talks about meat with the intensity of a TED Talk, and you can taste the obsession in every bite. Seating is outdoor picnic tables, so you'll sweat like a rack of ribs in July, and the bathroom feels about three zip codes away. But who cares? That's just your body's way of making room for more brisket. Don't be like me and cruise past this place for years. Hit the brakes, pull in, and prepare to have your BBQ standards permanently recalibrated. read more

Enough seafood, give me some bbq! Mike's has great food for a great price especially when you compare it to some of the local seafood restaurants. I loved the texture of both the ribs and brisket. Perfect smoky taste as well. I was a fan of their spicy bbq sauce. Service was quick and the covered benches were a nice place to enjoy the food. read more

Best bbq in the keys! Was amazing and haven't had this good of bbq since the last time I was in Texas. The truck workers/owners were very kind and helpful, not afraid to advocate for how good there ribs are... and they were right! Very nice outdoors seating with tables and shade. Would recommend stopping by anytime you have the chance. read more

The best food in Key Largo! We have been coming here for years and have struggled to find great food in this area. That was of course until we found Mikes BBQ. Brisket is incredible, ribs smacked, and the sausage. All the sides were incredible. My favorite was the Mac and cheese and potatoe salad! Wonderful service as well! Very causal but sooo delicious. read more

All these years of coming to the Keys and I've yet to try this place out! I didn't even know it existed until my bf said let's go get the best bbq you've had so far (I had high expectations especially since I had literally just came from Austin!). There was a lady that took our order who was super sweet and the guy (I guess is the owner) who prepared our food. Our order was ready so quick!! Amazinggg. They have a bunch of picnic tables on the side so you can sit and eat your food. They have many options to chose from, we got the one meat which came with 2 sides. We ordered the pork ribs which was super tender and flavorful with the perfect rub. And we go the Mac and cheese and baked beans. The Mac and cheese sooo creamy and had a little kick to it with chili. And the cornbread was not dry and has the perfect moisture. Definitely coming back without a doubt! read more

So this is a food truck (with plenty of picnic tables to sit at) southbound in Key Largo! The ladies taking the order were very nice and welcoming. The owner (I assume) also came out while we were eating to make sure everything was ok. So, about the food. We had the brisket sandwich, Cole slaw, and the potato salad with sweet cornbread (also had jalapeño as an option) The brisket was great. Very tender and not overly salty. Had 3 sauces to choose from. (Wish the spicy would have had a stronger kick, but good nonetheless). Cole slaw had a great flavor and whatever they season the potato salad with (maybe some cilantro) tasted great. Real BBQ is tough to find, but this one was beyond solid. Will def stop again since we are frequent keys goers. read more

We found this place while driving around, and it's a solid bbq spot that can compete with places in Texas. We ordered some sausage, brisket, corn bread, mac' n cheese and potato salad. The sausage had a nice crispy casing, spice and smokey flavor. The brisket was moist and fell apart in your mouth. The corn bread was moist and tasted great. The mac' n cheese was creamy, and the potato salad had a good flavor. There are a few picnic tables under a tent. If you're in the area and want bbq this is probably the best spot. read more

This is a must stop when traveling in/ through Key Largo. The owner/ chef is passionate about his food and has mastered the art. The ribs were soooo tender and the potato salad wasn't flavorless plop. It had a little lime juice, cilantro and a punch. Not spicy for my mild friends but full of flavor. The service was excellent as welll. read more

It's about time I write this review!!! This Is an absolute JEM, a MAGNIFICENT BBQ spot nestled in Keylargo ! - Where do I begin, the quality of meats whether you're into ribs, brisket or pulled pork are exquisite. The offer an array of sauces each unique with an absolutely amazing flavor. They offer plate and by the pound options which being that I live on the mainland is something I CHERISH as an option. Lastly, buy certainly not least I VALUE THE WONDERFUL PEOPLE WHO OWN THIS ESTABLISHMENT. I have never felt so welcomed & among friends which is what I feel helps this bbq taste like it's made with love! - truly above and beyond service, food & vibes at Mikes BBQ This is the BEST recommendation I've ever gotten from a coworker and so my fellow yelpers, I pass it on to you .. ENJOY!!! read more

Very good, got the 3 meat dinner and shared it!! Brisket and two portions of pulled pork, with the macaroni and cheese and potato salad as sides. read more

Great friendly service and best bbq I've ever had. Don't judge the book by its cover. This Food truck makes better bbq than a 5 star restaurant. Get the Ribs read more

This is a food truck on the side of the road some picnic tables to eat at under a tent. Cars will be whizzing by so don't expect a fine dining experience, and the weather will make a difference. I recommend getting the food to go. Got the two meat plate with brisket and ribs. Was told the ribs were fresh out of the smoker, and they were very good, tender and flavorful. The brisket was tender but really didn't have any flavor. It's always disappointing when bbq needs sauce, in my opinion it should have such a good rub and natural smoke flavor that it should make sauce unnecessary. I've tried some of the top rated bbq places in Texas, Kansas City, Carolina, and in various other locations in the south and while this bbq was good, it just didn't measure up. It was average bbq at best. The ribs were good, but I honestly probably wouldn't order the brisket again. Corn bread was fine. Baked beans and canned green beans were as expected. I wish they had some better sides like collard greens or fried okra. Also wish they made has some fresh squeezed lemonade or key limeade or homemade sweet tea something. I ended up just drinking my own bottle of water I had with me in the car since they didn't have any good drinks. One thing that was great was the service though. The lady behind the counter was very friendly, and she came over and checked on us at the table too. While the food was probably only 3.5 stars, I rounded up to 4 stars overall because she was very nice. Glad she told us the ribs were fresh out of the smoker or I probably would've only ordered the brisket and I would've been disappointed. Overall I really wanted to like it here and it was a nice place to stop for food while driving through the keys but I wouldn't go out of my way to come here again sadly. read more

Very tasty bbq, good quantities and really at affordable prices. If you are into bbq, this is a must stop while visiting the Keys.

Amazing BBQ and great prices. If you haven't stopped to try Mike's BBQ, you're missing out!

Found Mike's BBQ on Yelp! All of the reviews were spot on! The BBQ was amazing! The sides were yummy! And the corn bread is a must!

The best barbecue in the keys, reasonably priced great owner fresh meat, great sides just good friendly people

Probably the best St Louis ribs I've tasted. Highly recommend if you like barbecue. Definitely a must eat for me and my crew!

We had a beach BBQ to kick off a family reunion/wedding in Key Largo. Many thanks to Dream Bay Resort for recommending Mike's BBQ101! We weren't sure what/how much to order and Mike and his staff did all the work. Our menu of Texas beef brisket, Carolina pulled pork, BBQ chicken matched with mac & cheese, baked beans, potato salad & cornbread was perfectly executed. Set up, cutlery ... everything! Hire Mikes ... they're a 10/10! read more

We always wanted to eat BBQ ever since we got to Florida, but didn't get a chance to.. so, when we drove to the keys, we said to eat the first BBQ place we see.. just so happen that there's a BBQ truck outside our villa "Dolphin Point Villa at Largo Key.. You won't be disappointed.. we ordered brisket and ribs, it was delicious, tasty and juicy.. Price is not too bad either.. we met Mike the owner of the BBQ truck.. His very friendly.. There's a sitting area on the side if you can't wait to go home and just wanna enjoy your food right away.. If you are in the area, you should try it.. read more

The Jalapeño corn bread and the Mac and cheese were delicious. The baked beans and pulled pork were okay.

What a little gem! We stopped here this afternoon for a quick bite and were not disappointed! The combo meal was the way to go for us we tried all all the meats! Everything was so tasty I wish we took pictures but we gobbled down so quickly. The baked beans are out of this world! We went with the spicy BBQ sauce for the meats and left completely full! Way to go Mike and team! read more

Just finished devouring Mikes Brisket sandwich. As a BBQ aficionado & semi-expert on Southern BBQ ( having lived in the real south for 25 years) I must say that his stuff is the real deal. Brisket had the great char & pink ring you expect from TEXAS Brisket. The pulled pork was delicious and pulled beautifully. Both were lean and made great sandwiches. I also enjoyed his sauces. However I found the N. Carolina Sauce a little sweeter than I like. Overall, this place is worthy of its 5 star reputation! If your near Key Largo it's worth stopping at this unassuming Red Trailer next to the Dolphin Resort. Just Wish you had a location in Palm Beach county! read more

This would be a little less than 5*s in Georgia, but I don't expect that I will ever find better in Florida. The only thing missing was a good mustard sauce. I will certainly be back. read more

Excellent. Brisket was tender and smoky. Pulled pork a good crust. Sauces are mild. Owner and staff were friendly and the service was quick. Mike needs more parking space. But that's a golden headache. Got a good thing going. read more

The food was amazing!!!!! Some of the best bbq food besides what I make myself. Thank you Mike for your hospitality and knowledge of BBQ.

Compliments to the pit master, best thing in key largo. Wondering how I'm going to eat anything else on this trip now.

You can't help and not stop. It's the best barbecue in the keys and probably the best barbecue in all of Florida. Mike and his staff are super friendly, the food is always fresh, and the sauces are home made. I would definitely recommend the brisket or the full rack of ribs with 2 sides. read more

I've moved back to town since my last review and have been to Mike's at least 10+ times since. Guess what? Every meal is still amazing! This time though, skip the ribs because the brisket is something special! From the flavor to the way it melts instantly in your mouth... it's just the perfect meal for lunch. I'll post a picture of the brisket after my next visit! read more

I was down in Key Largo for the week, visiting old haunts and stuff, and my mom and I decided to try something new for lunch. One of the things that she wanted to try was one of the food trucks that have started popping up in the area, so after a visit to the hardware store we decided to give Mike's BBQ a try. The menu is somewhat limited for the BBQ world, which for a food truck I actually consider to be a good thing. You are not going to find a full BBQ spread here, but there is enough on the list to make a good variety for a full meal. The sides are appropriate, and then the mains are varied enough that you can grab a full lunch without issue. The service is friendly and there are a number of picnic tables available under a couple of awnings so that you don't have to sit out in the beating Florida sun while eating. Parking can get a bit hairy if there are a lot of folks partaking, but it is manageable. On to the food. I ordered the pulled pork sandwich platter while my mother got the sliced sausage platter. My pulled pork sandwich was quite good, and when paired with their North Carolina style mustard sauce it went down very nicely. The sliced sausage sandwich my mother got had so much sausage on it that my mother pulled off a good portion of the sausage that we then took home with us, and ate the rest. All in all I would say that this food truck is certainly worth visiting if you are travelling up and down the Keys and need a bite to eat for lunch. read more
