Casual restaurant & bar serving outstanding bbq, fresh fish, tasty sandwiches and burgers. Live music & friendly bar – popular with locals in Key West.

Located on the upper end of Duval Street, the Salty Angler has recently celebrated its two-year anniversary. Congratulations!

The kind and friendly chef/owners make an extra-effort so that delicious, satisfying dishes come out of the kitchen.

This newer restaurant and bar has quickly found a very dedicated local following thanks to a flavorful menu of smoked bar-b-que, fresh fish sandwiches, entrees, and a creative menu of burgers and sandwiches. Popular items include their original “Thunder Thighs”, a hickory-smoked preparation of chicken thighs, the sliced brisket – particularly good as a sandwich or taco, and their pulled pork. Fish items on the menu are the freshest available and all come from locally caught fish.

And if you have been out fishing in Key West, the kitchen offers to “cook your catch.”  Bring the cleaned fish you caught and The Salty Angler will cook it for you, grilled or blackened, for $11 per pound.

The bar itself is a friendly, laid-back atmosphere, with live music often performed, including regular shows by Key West’s most talented Grateful Dead jam band, The Happy Dog (usually Thursday nights and not to be missed).

If you are looking to have an authentic Key West experience, pop in here and see what the locals are loving.

Free delivery is available.

Location: 1114 Duval Street
