Mikes BBQ definitely deserves 5 stars! The food is mouthwatering good and the best part is that Mike uses grass fed beef that's raised without any hormones or antibiotics. Most food trucks out there are serving decent good tasting food but mikes bbq is the first I've seen using the highest quality meat for their bbq. We tried the brisket which had SO much flavor! It has alot of fat though so if that's an issue I would go with the pulled pork which was amazing too. I also consider myself somewhat of a mac n cheese connoisseur & theirs did not disappoint! It was creamy cheesy & smoky. I'm getting hungry again just reminiscing about it. read more

This place was great! Great place to stop for lunch after a morning of exploring. The food was really good and we didn't have to wait long for our food. Highly recommended. read more

The best barbecue in Town thanks to Mike. It is a great experience and I guarantee that you'll back many more times. So go for it and you'll never forget Mike. read more

I would definitely say Mike's has the best brisket and ribs. Also, the Mac and Cheese is amazing. If you want quality meat stop by here while you plan drive drive through the keys. The Meat literally melts in your mouth, it is perfectly made. read more

Amazing food and service!! We are from the Carolinas and know BBQ and certainly did not expect to find awesome BBQ in Key Largo but we did. Mike was great, he gave us samples and we had to stop because we couldn't order everything! The brisket and Carolina pull pork melt in your mouth and the Mac n cheese was killer. The sauces were perfect. Don't think about it just go and order more than you can eat because it made great leftovers! Thanks Mike for the unexpected treat we will be back to see you again! read more

Ok if you are looking for an amazing brisket, this is it. Totally delicious Smokey, beautiful bark, moist. A party in your mouth. Their pull pork is great too! read more

Good BBQ, nice place to stop when going to the Keys & on the way back. Beans delicious, Ribs delicious, Mac & Chez delicious, Pulled pork delicious!!!!! Don't forget about extra sauce & napkin read more

All I can say is WOW. Food truck on the side of the road serving up some of the best BBQ, sides , and even a small area to eat. Had the brisket and ribs...both awesome, tender, smoky gooodness. Jalapeño cornbread was very tasty......mac and cheese also special...nothing ordinary about this place. Before we were done eating lunch, they sold out of brisket, ribs. Pork, sausage, and people bought whatever they could get their hands on....a testament to the flavor!!!! Portions HUgE and fair priced.......people were also very attentive and appreciative of the business. Do it!!!!! read more

Wow!!! My husband & I both ordered the pulled pork platter with mac & cheese, beans and jalapeño cornbread. It was a very healthy portion of everything and it was all DELICIOUS!! The sweet cornbread and beans were some of the best we've ever had! Will definitely be back! read more

Mike's BBQ 101 - Pulled pork platter with mac & cheese, beans & jalapeño cornbread. - Food Trucks Near Me - Key Largo, Florida

I have never liked BBQ but Mike's 101 has changed that for me. First of all, it says a lot for a humble food truck to make me love brisket. I had never enjoyed brisket until Mike's 101. And second of all, they make their own bbq sauce (sweet and spicy versions) and their own coleslaw. This is my new favorite spot in the keys. Plus there customer service is amazing. They are so good, they were busy at 3 pm. I had to tell my whole family about this place. I will even drive down from miami just for their ribs. You don't even need teeth to enjoy their fabulous, buttery, tender ribs. I can't wait to go back and visit! read more

This is my second time to eat here. Great bbq and sides.

Amazing BBQ!! The Brisket was so tender and flavorful you could eat it without any sauces. Mike was very helpful and nice! We will def be going back! read more

Just had Mike cater "day after Wedding BBQ" for 60 guests! It was AMAZING! We had guests from all over including Texas, Louisiana and Kentucky. They all said it was some of the best they've ever had! Definitely recommend having them cater your next event. They were on time, food was hot, very professional and very affordable! Loved it!!! read more

Had to check it out last Friday after seeing all of the 5-star reviews here, and it met my high expectations. The brisket was expertly made, perfect smoke rings and great flavor and not even slightly dry. The spare ribs were loaded with flavor; some of the tastiest ribs I've had. Seasoned chips were good too. And Mike is a cool guy who will engage you in conversation about bbq nerd stuff if you want (and I did). I'll definitely be back when I pass through the Keys. read more

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

See all

Wow. Just stopped at mikes bbq, and all I can say is wow. His portions are big and the food tastes amazing. We recently had bbq at a chain restaurant and mikes is way better than the chain. Do yourself a favor, stop by and order a plate. read more

Best Barbecue we have ever had! On our way to Duck Key, we passed it on the right in Key Largo and had to turn around because the smell was amazing. Pulled pork and beef brisket melt in your mouth and along side of it was the most delicious moist cornbread and Mac. And cheese. Mike loves what he does and cooks fresh daily. His heart is really in it! We had the chance to talk with him afterwards and he is truly passionate about his ability to smoke meats and serve the public. This is a must stop! Glen and Dina New Hampshire read more

Insanely good!!!if you're in the area or making your way down the keys, do yourself a favor and stop here! The food is amazing. The brisket is cooked just right and is full of flavor and tender. The Mac and cheese has a nice little kick and I really loved it. Coleslaw was delicious. Cornbread is so good that it counts as a dessert. Hits the stop. Everything was homemade. Shared a meal with my husband and it was a generous serving for about $13. Came with brisket, 2 sides and cornbread. It was recommended to us by the resort we are staying at, and we will definitely be back every time we are in the area! Also, my husband is the one that went to get the food and he said Mike was beyond nice and pleasant. Definitely a little hidden gem in the upper keys. DISCLAIMER: we had already started eating when we took the pic! Lol read more

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

I was here over a year ago for the brisket, thought of how flavorful it was was imprinted on my mind. This year they were sold out of brisket so I tried the pulled pork. This bbq is outstanding, it was perfect. It's definitely something I'll make a point of stopping for while I'm in the area. Merry Christmas and a happy, prosperous new year to you! read more

Husband and I were on a time crunch and decided to stop here. Food came out extremely fast and was fireeeeeeee!! So good I'm driving down this weekend with my girlfriend for our cheat meal lol. read more

Simply excellent. Not only was the pulled pork, Mac and cheese, and baked beans delicious, Mike the owner went up to my family and gave us a tour of his smoker. You could tell he has a big passion for smoking. The pulled pork was not bitter, but very well smoked. I would walk a mile over broken glass to reach this place. read more

We are from Texas - in Key Largo diving and stopped by Mike's food truck several times. It is absolutely incredible. Probably some of the best BBQ we've ever had and we live in Texas haha! The portions are plentiful - you definitely get your moneys worth. Plenty of tasty sauces is awesome too. Mike and his crew are incredibly kind and hospitable as well. Highly recommend!!!! A++++ read more

Definitely some of the best BBQ I've ever had. I got the brisket plate, so tender and juicy is just melts in your mouth. The sides were incredible. I highly recommend the Mac and cheese (topped with panko and potato chips!) and baked beans (perfectly saucy with generous chunks of pork). For BBQ of this quality, the prices can't be beat. Mike couldn't be friendlier and you can tell that knows his craft and puts a ton of love and effort into his work. This is a great place to stop for a lunch you won't soon forget! read more

First off, Mike it's just a really nice guy. Very friendly and happy to see his customers. But what makes his food trucks special is the attention and effort he put into every meal. Whether it's the ribs or pulled pork or brisket you get a quality meal at a very reasonable price. Also to mention, I am from North Carolina and I know barbecue. read more

Picked this place for lunch based on reviews and it did not disappoint. Mike was friendly and food was served quickly. Reasonable prices & nice size portions. This was some yummy BBQ! I had pulled pork sandwich & hubby had 1/2 slab ribs. Cole slaw, beans and sauces were all good too. read more

Ordered a variety of barbecue for a small get-together, and I couldn't have been happier. The food was excellent and the prices were very reasonable. Order was ready for pickup exactly on time as requested. Great place! read more

Very solid BBQ, one of the top in south Florida. I always make sure to stop by when I'm in the keys

The best brisket and ribs. If you are missing that Texas quality, get over here, every bite is worth it!

This little bbq place is outstanding. Worth a stop. You won't be dissapointed. I've had alot of BBQ and this is one of the best I've ever had hands down. Mike clearly put thought and effort into his craft. He was right there, doing his thing. We were staying at the Dolphin's Plus hotel right behind Mike's lunch truck/wagon. We could smell the BBQ (smelled really good) as we pulled in so we asked the front desk clerk (Heather) if it was any good. She said, "yeah, it's pretty good". My wife and I split the brisket plate ($12.00). It came with a healthy serving of beef brisket was was really f'in good. Smoky, beefy, moist and juicy. It had that smoke ring just inside that delicious outside crust that true BBQ aficionados know is a mark of a well prepared brisket. It came with a cornbread and two sides and we opted for the mac and cheese and the coleslaw. Everything was incredible. My wife is a picky eater and she gobbled up the mac and cheese and half the cornbread. I was lucky to get in one bite and our kid was out of luck. The mac and cheese was delicious. Nice and cheesy with a baked topping of bread crumbs and potato chips and a slight spiciness that I can't put my finger on but it was incredible. The coleslaw also was delicious. Good slaw is hard to find. Anyone that likes coleslaw knows what I mean. It's either swimming in cream or liquid, or too creamy or too sweet or too something. This one was perfect. The cabbage was finely chopped and not long and stringy which I hate. It wasn't drenched in liquid and the liquid was not creamy (I hate that too in slaw). The cornbread was moist and delicious as well. We go to the keys a lot and definitely will be stopping to visit Mike's truck on the way down. I saw some guy get the burnt ends and I am defintely getting those next time. They looked freakin delicious. If Mike ever gets a stand alone BBQ place in the keys he would kill it. There's no BBQ places in the key largo area, much less a decent BBQ place that I know of and I go down there a lot. Good luck Mike. I hope you get a stand alone place. Collect a hundred 5 star reviews on Yelp, go tot he bank and get a loan based on the reviews. Doesn't matter where you put it, word will get around and you will be found. You will kill it my friend. Only one negative: He's not in Miami where I live. I have to drive to Key Largo for the best BBQ I've found in S. Florida. Oh well. For you locals, yes, it's better than Shorty's. Don't even go there. read more

We were driving back from Key West and actually stopped in for the Mexican food truck across the way. Mike just opened up a few weeks ago, and with his very reasonable prices, we saw his bbq truck and decided to give it a try. It was the best bbq we have ever had! It was better than anything I've had in Texas and definitely better than anything I've had back home in Los Angeles. Mike was awesome and showed us his custom made pit. Amazing and such a nice guy. The brisket, pulled chicken, pulled pork, mac n cheese, slaw, beans, everything. This guy knows the science and everything else there is to know about bbq. We'll definitely be stopping in during our next trip to the keys! read more

This guy seriously knows his BBQ. He chatted with us while we ate and honestly he is clearly a pro. Didn't even know that much about BBQ but he taught me so much. The food is incredible. Brisket was amazing. All of the sauces too. You get a serious amount of food for the money as well. read more

Hello. This is awesome food! Went to key west and came back for seconds. Great place and owner.

Best BBQ in Florida! I have had Mike's BBQ even before the food truck, when he was THE pitmaster in Ft Lauderdale, and it has always been consistently amazing! read more

Far and away the best BBQ in South Florida. I've always found Miami, with such a prolific food scene, has always fallen way short on good/authentic BBQ restaurants. Well, I found a small gem in Key Largo. Mike and his wife catered a party of 25 this past Sunday; they were kind enough to deliver under a monsoon. The food was unbelievable!!!! Ribs- brisket-pilled pork- Mac & Cheese- come slaw- corn bread- sauces..... Everything was cooked to perfection, incredible flavor, juicy, served hot, on time and all with a big smile on their faces. If you want great BBQ- hit Mike's in Key Largo. Mike, thank you! read more

Came here to swim with the dolphins and Mikes was out front. The lady inside of dolphins bay talked about how good Mikes BBQ food is. They were right! The pulled pork and Mac n' Cheese was amazing!!! I most definitely recommend stopping here for a bite to eat! :-) read more

The pulled pork has great flavor and texture! And the brisket is so good that it almost melts in your mouth!!! A must-have during our next visit to Key Largo. read more

Fantastic food! Heard about Mike's brisket at our dolphin adventure today. So glad we did. Must try...everything was delicious. Mike was so nice & gave us samples to try while looking at the menu. Carolina pork was very tasty. Best food I have had in Key Largo all weekend! Will be back next time!!! read more

December 1st. Just finished lunch at Mike's. Best brisket I have ever had! Best baked beans I have ever had! Best corn bread I have ever had! Mac and cheese was awesome as well! You gotta eat here read more

We had Mike cater our small wedding for 45 people on the beach in Key Largo and couldn't have been more pleased with how everything turned out! Everyone raved about how delicious the food was (including our photography team, who said it was way better than most high-end vendors for weddings they have done!) We had the beef brisket, pulled pork, macaroni and cheese, baked beans and cole slaw. Mike was a pleasure to work with. Value was outstanding for what is received and customer service was second to none. Highly recommend Mike's to anyone, especially for any event you need catered!! read more

My friends and I were driving through looking for a place to eat after some snorkeling. We came across Mike's BBQ and decided to make a stop. Great food and great person! He accommodated is all very well! I would come back again if I am in Key Largo again! read more
