Garbo's Grill @ Hanks! in Key West - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Delicious food, great atmosphere.

Try the Korean BBQ Burrito, it’s great!

As you can see me and my wife crushed! I had the mango hot dog, which was phenomenal! And my wife had yum yum shrimp taco, her words were, “this is the best shrimp taco I’ve ever had!” Will amend this when we finish the key lime pie. Edit about the Key Lime Pie, my first time having this delicacy, it was really good I had to fight for the last piece with my wife… someone didn’t got lucky tonight! Keep up the good work!

My husband and I ordered a burger, for the kids a trio of tacos and 2 mini burgers. Everything was very tasty, however the burger was spicy, I would point this out on the menu and leave it as optional. Furthermore, we were well taken care of, the atmosphere was pleasant and there were only a few affordable places open after 10pm in Key West.

I had the korean bbq tacos which really was in fact a fajita with meat. No pickles or anything to add savor. We also had the burger, which was okay but if you don’t like your meat overdone, you should specify it. It doesn’t come with fries but a bag of chips. We read good comments, but we ended up being fairly disappointed

Place ok Strange service... you order the drink and leave the credit card in the deposit and go to order the food in a caravan where you pay for the food after you go to pick it up alerted by a pager delivered to the order. Never seen anything like it... anyway. Insane prices for what you get. Go elsewhere guys... there is better and more than paying at least choose a place with live music in a clean and air-conditioned environment.

Food is really good , great combination between the mango sweet and the spice in the tacos.

My dad has been dying to try this place since seeing it on DDD. We missed happy hour so my husband and I shared an order of the fish tacos and Korean beef tacos. Both were excellent but I think the fish tacos were the best. The Korean beef was excellent, but it was just Korean beef on a tortilla so it lacked any kind of variety. I give this place four stars simply because it’s a small food truck with good food but for the price, you only get two tacos, no side which I thought was a little disappointing. Sorry Guy Fieri but I disagree

I found that there was little choice and that the quantities were a little low. The Hot Dog was a really tiny sausage with brioche. No accompaniment with the dishes. However the dishes were good

Best Fish Tacos and Burritos in town with often great live music. Chill beach vibe.

Very particular place with live music, there is a bar and a van outside that cooks various dishes, good food. Friendly waiters highly recommended.

Food was delish and freshly prepared on spot, took about 5 minutes. I got the lobster roll $31 served with Chips, and my friend got Catch of the Day Tacos (MahiMahi) $17 total the total was $50 (with a tip) the food was very tasty; cooked and seasoned perfectly. The lobster roll was one of the best I’ve had, perfectly dressed with mayo and had really good flavor, bun was toasted light with butter - amazing meal! It’s attached to Hanks which was a really neat dog bar! My dog Puppaccino loved it!

This food truck, located at Hank's, has a nice fusion menu. Can't go wrong.

Nice burger, albeit a little dry. Score would be higher, but patties are all either medium-well or well-done.

The vibes at the place were good, off the beaten path. Ordered the sliders, WOW 🤯… the burger was so juicy 🤤 I would recommend! There’s good protection from the rain and sun. Not a paid review 😉

Best food by far in Key West, awesome atmosphere

Very good and plentiful dishes. Great atmosphere and impeccable service.

Food was delicious and affordable Easy to get drinks too

Bought a Korean BBQ burrito and 2 tacos. They were very very plain with little to no flavor. It's mostly just tortilla and meat. We were starving and had no choice but to finish them. Secondly, we bought 2 gross mojitos that we could not force ourselves to finish, it was 2 sips then straight into the trash. I wouldn't recommend this place at all.

I have eaten here many times and always delicious food. The staff can be a bit short, but it's usually hot and busy and the delicious food is well worth it. It used to be a secret place to eat back in the day, until dinners, drive-ins, and dives (TV show) found them. Food is still delicious!

I recently decided to give Garbo’s restaurant a try and called ahead for a pick-up order. My order was ready within 20 minutes. The interaction with the staff was super friendly. As for the food, it was pretty good! I’d especially recommend the shrimp tacos—they were packed with flavor and definitely hit the spot. If you're in the area and craving some tasty seafood, Garbo’s is a solid choice.

Best food we had in Key West and it happens to be from a very small camper food truck just outside Hanks Hair of the Dog Saloon! The Korean BBQ tacos were massive and had a good punch of flavor. The hands down winner was the Umamiburger! Wife put this burger as one of the best she has had. *Hint* If only they added crispy fries topped with Korean BBQ meat and some melted cheese to the menu it might be the best place every!

Food was so amazing we went twice. Lobster roll was amazing and if you are a burger lover you have to try theirs. Drinks were amazing.

Awesome place! Burgers and dogs were great! Just like what we saw on triple D! Hank’s was cool! Great service. Ashley was fun and attentive!!

Great Korean BBQ Taco and great burger! It is a must do in Key West

Garbo’s has our favorite burger in KW. However they season it, it’s perfect. We typically go there 2-3 times each time we’re down there for the burgers. My kids like the hotdog, which I haven’t tried, but it does look good. The food always comes out hot and very fresh. Between Garbo’s food and Hank’s atmosphere, this is a must have for us.

Best food spot we visited in key West. Is a must try for anyone vacationing here.

There are many beefs and so delicious!

Great Korean Ribs and Mahi tacos. Hanks sells liquor in the same area so its an easy win. Highly recommend.

The burger here was fantastic ‼

On vacation here and we stumbled upon Garbo’s. This place is LEGIT! The Korean taco and shrimp tacos were the best I’ve ever had- literally dreamed of eating this again. I want to go back!!!

Garbo’s Grill in Key West offers an enjoyable dining experience with its delicious fish tacos, which come with a satisfying spicy kick. The courtyard seating is shaded, providing a comfortable and relaxing spot to enjoy a midday meal. It’s a great place to take a break and savor some tasty food in a pleasant atmosphere.

We went for a few drinks and listened to music. Was very nice!

I had the Korean bbq tacos. Horrible! The smell alone turned my guts upside down.

The food is delicious, the setting is quite lovely (even when it rains, you're still dry and having a good time) and the bartenders are all wonderful! Love this place.

Awesome! Excellent live music, great food, atmosphere. I recommend!

Self-Order and free water live music 🎤 Yummy Mahi spicy tacos

The tacos are great! The potion size is very respectable. We got the bang bang shrimp and Korean bbq tacos and both are very good. You won’t be disappointed in either

Food is delicious in a relaxed atmosphere. You must order food from Garbo’s food truck and drinks from Hank’s bar—a very convenient small parking lot next door.

There is music in the background, I loved the hamburger.

Live music was great and lots of outside sitting. Lobster roll and taco trio had great flavor ☺️

THAT MANGO HOTDOG=an explosion of flavors that dance on your palate.

Amazing fish bowl! Fresh and delicious. I rate this at the very top of meals I've had.

Garbo's has the BEST Korean BBQ. I've had their Korean style tacos and burrito and the Mango Dog. Next time I'd like to try their poke bowl and lobster roll. A hidden gem.

The customer service was very good. But was very disappointed when we asked for the fry fish they show on their pictures on Google maps and came to find out they do not have it, it belongs to someone else. Then askes fot the tacos around 8:30 pm and was told they only serve them after 10 pm. This is the first time we come to a plce that doesn't have what their pictures show on their menu. Big disappointment. We still order food at this place just to give it a try but over all the food was ok. Not the best. And if you ask why I say this, is because do we travel a lot and we can for sure tell you when a place is good or not.

Menu is limited. Has overly spiced food and sauce. Ordered bowl and only came with three shrimp. Servers hassle guests and intrusive. Keep walking.

The bulgogi beef tacos were delicious! Tender beef with fantastic flavor. The crunch of the shredded cabbage was perfect.

Great portion sizes, very flavorful. They were able to accommodate allergies (gluten/dairy)

Pleasant setting with shade and live music entertainment. Friendly welcome. Fast service. Very reasonable prices for the location.

A great options for a quicker meal that usual spots on the island & the burritos were so damn flavorful

We got the mahi mahi fish tacos and the shrimp tacos (both spicy). The shrimp tacos were excellent. The fish wasn’t seasoned at all, the fish tacos had no flavour. They had pretty much the same fillings which was disappointing because we expected them to be unique. Service was good and quick and the place was spacious but the food was just okay.

Great tacos and Hanks has the Dranks! Try the Korean style! Large portions and worth it! Add the habenro hot sauce on a few bites really brings it!

I read the most recent review and have to comment. I don’t wish to disrespect anyone’s opinion ok? It I’ve never had a subpar experience at Garbos. The staff asks everytime how you would like it prepared, they have always gone above and beyond to ask how you would like it prepared. It’s a food truck - if your expectations were more, that’s absolutely not on them. Those in the tourist industry go here because it’s the real deal!!!!! When I read the comment, I honestly checked to see if we were speaking of the same location. The only positive is if anyone values the negative experience- less of a line. My favorite is the Korean beef tacos. I’ve tried to recreate them at home and simply can’t. The location is definitely a great find. It sure what triggers the bad review. But get me more of that. ?

Great little place with an amazing food truck out front. Service was great- drinks were cold and the food(tacos) was great

I see McDonalds lovers complaining about the Umamiburger. They've never had a great, fresh burger with Chipotle Gouda. They should stick with McDonalds.

Beyond overrated. The lobster roll was so fishy to the point where one of us felt like we were going to get sick. We politely told the worker that we didn’t like it and it must have been a bad batch of lobster and all she said was “excuse me what?” We had to then repeat ourselves and she said “everyone likes this”. No I'm sorry or anything. Then told us to just throw it away in the garbage. She didn’t offer a refund or anything so we had to purchase fish tacos after throwing away a disgusting $30 lobster roll. Terrible customer service. This place has let its big ego get to their heads since it was featured on 'Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives.' Would never go back or recommend this food to anyone. Hank’s bar and atmosphere are so worth it but do not go to Garbo’s grill.

Food was yummy. Lobster roll was good but not worth the price. The shrimp taco cayo style was the best !

The korean tacos NEVER disappoint they are amazing. The burger was dry you weren’t allowed to pick temperature so no pink! Flavor nothing to write home about. Lobster was pricey and no flavor. If u go here get the korean tacos. They always are consistent!

Garbo’s more like garbage! Ok that’s too harsh but as you can see with my rating the food was below satisfactory for us and I will break it down. PS: Sorry about the pictures I took a video and apparently you cannot upload videos so I had to take screenshots of my videos to show you the food. The last 2 pictures is where we stopped forcing ourselves to eat this very expensive sad meal. Quick back story: I always look at social media recommendations when I go somewhere new because you can see the food and you get the opinion of an assumed impartial customer. So that’s how we found Garbo’s the menu was hyped and the guy was raving about how tasty everything was. So we go there and basically went with the recommendation on the video: we ordered the Umami burger ($16), the Korean barbecue tacos (2 tacos for $16) and the one I was looking the most forward to the lobster roll (advertised as market price which basically means they can charge whatever they want and varies their prices whenever they want) since our total ended up being $75 I’m going to deduce mathematically that the lobster roll was around $30. So let’s start with the lobster roll. Again we paid $30 for what you see in this picture some slab of can seafood on a hot dog bun. For that price I was really seeing what the video showed: a luscious well seasoned well garnished full bun of delicious fresh lobster. What we got was a sad cluster of can lumps of “lobster” it looked sad and I felt duped. The tacos must have been soaked in soy sauce for a while because what you majorly tasted was that high sodium overwhelming your taste bud. Besides being overly salty, the tacos were better selection of the day for us. Finally there was nothing umami about that burger. It was just a cheese burger with bacon. And the burger was mediocre at best, meat lacked any flavor and seasoning. Now let’s talk about the service. We walked aimlessly the first five minutes trying to figure out if that place had a host or not. No one welcomed us, we ended up walking to the bar and we found out that we needed to go the truck and order our food and sit ourself wherever. So we ordered our food, went pick it up, found our own seat and also order our own drink at the bar even if its the non alcoholic drink. Oh and you also have to go back the the bar for soda refill. So all the waitress walking around were just for show? Or maybe they are all bartenders. Either way there was no service but they still wanted a 18% and up tip. We tipped 18% by the way. The atmosphere was nice though. They had live music and we managed to find a seat inside so we were cool (it was over 90 degrees outside) In conclusion. I do not recommend this place and I think that reviewer on social media was paid for his reviews and his plate was made to look a lot better than any average customer would get.

The food was so good! Korean BBQ was the best but everything was good!

Not a fan. We tried the kimchi hot dog.. Buns are old, hot dog was good but the combination and they way the dish was presented wasn't suitable for a hot dog sandwich They have a nice atmosphere and plenty of seats to sit and eat. But service is not friendly either

Stood there at the counter with the guy looking at his phone literally about 2 feet from us. No acknowledgment nothing. After a couple of minites we left. Too bad looked like they had several items we wanted to try.

Korean tacos and kogi dog are awesome.

Best tacos in key west , especially the Korean bbq!

We came to dine there after reading the reviews here and there. Good but nothing more. The waiter was eager for us to order our drinks and pay for them but ultimately when it was time to pay, he was kept waiting! My husband's burger was good but too bad it came with a bag of chips and no fries. I was a little disappointed with my cayo bowl. I was expecting something else and it's not the bowls I'm used to eating. My IPA beer, however, was very good. It's nice to eat outside and attend a live concert but it's bound to be very noisy.

This place is just plain Funky good food good live music.

The umami burger is one of the best burgers I've ever had 😍

Solid place to grab a bite, have a drink and unwind. The burger and lobster roll were awesome!

Did not disappoint! Amazing hot dog and even better burger. Great location, friendly staff ans amazing food. I will miss this place!

Food was delicious, simple and unpretentious....had shrimp tacos and Korean BBQ tacos. Very fresh taste with light spice.

REVELATION. A must-see on the map - delicious tacos and lobster rolls. A place I would love to return to someday. Live music also creates the atmosphere.

Mango dog had a good sausage and bun, but it was better plain. The mango was severely under ripe with the hardness of a pear, and the dish just wasn’t cohesive. If something is advertised as a mango hot dog, mango had better be a central and ripe ingredient and not just hard, flavorless pieces tossed into the bun.

Cool place with a great atmosphere and live music.

I got the trio tacos shrimp, fish, and Korean BBQ. The Korean taco looked filling and had so much meat. That was my favorite taco of all three that I came back the next day to have it again.

I got food poisoning from this food truck and it ruined my vacation. We were only in Key West for 2 days and I ended up spending an entire day in the bathroom. Very disappointing.

We stopped here on a whim and it wound up being our favorite meal during the entire vacation. In fact, we wound up going twice! Highly recommend.

Korean bbq tacos and the lobster roll amazing

Delicious food. The Korean BBQ tacos is good and the Cayo Fish Taco is amazing.

Beast of a Burger. Magnifico Deliciousio.

Food was good and service was fair.

Not sure how I haven't wrote a review here yet! A must stop while in Key West. I highly recommend the Korean BBQ beef tacos or the Yum Yum shrimp tacos. Pictured is the lobster roll and the key lime pineapple drink. The lobster roll was good (still prefer the Korean BBQ or Yum Yum shrimp) and the drink was super tasty! Seemed more like a yummy treat than an actual cocktail, but in the best way possible.

We ate hamburger and burrito. Meat in burrito was hard to chew and hamburger was average at best. The atmosphere is good though, there was live music and we enjoyed spending time there.

Great staff good food! The lobster roll is overrated for the price in my opinion but they had a great hot dog and one of the best burgers of my life! Parking is atrociously priced as well.

This was by far the place we ate at in the keys. The food was so good my family nd i had to go back nd get more food for the road. Definitely a 10/10

Had Mahi Mahi taco. Flavortown. Diner-Drivein-Dives

Super American food. Def doesn’t deserve >4 stars. Not too bad but not good or tasty either. Just ok, over 4 star is 100% overvalue

Lobster roll was $31 and it was ok. Not worth the price. Service non existent.

So glad we finally tried this spot. Not sure if things have changed ever since they aired on Food Network's Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives. Didn't get to see the owners. Can you ever say no to a lot of meat? Pictured here is an order of (2) Korean BBQ Tacos, loaded with meat. Korean BBQ flavor was delicious and Sriracha wasn't too much. Order comes with a bag of Zippy's chips. Also ordered their Kogi Dog which also was a huge portion with plenty of kim chi and sauce to cover each bite. Both orders are definitely worth every penny.

Best Burger in Key West! Great atmosphere with live music. Line moves quick and the food is fresh!

Food truck review, just opened today by THE GATES RESORT. Amazing korean beef tacos! Garbo Club, basically the BEST turkey BLT Ive ever had! Food was so good didnt have time to photograph. I will at my next visit, here all week. 04/16 Second visit, new food truck location beteen the Gates & Hilton Garden. Come get the best food! Gr8 parking and smiling staff!!

The food was just "ok" Cute little place but slow service and nothing to really choose from to drink with your meal if you don't want alcohol. You can go to their bar and pay too much for flat soda. But it's a separate trip waiting in a separate line and then you have to find a seat. It wasn't awful but really nothing special. Would really rather have gone somewhere else.

Our bartender was awesome. She sat and talked to us between taking care of a dogs birthday party! I'd go back just for her! -Bar Guys

The tacos are delicious and authentic.

I messed up; I went somewhere else today for lunch. I would here eat for lunch and dinner and lunch again the next day. Hands down one of two best meals this trip, and one of the best tacos (Korean BBQ) I've ever had. Highly recommend. The beef is perfectly seasoned and cooked and the Kimchee is fire. Umami burger did a great job of being thick af and moist. Bonus points hanging out with live music and cold Lager at Hank's. Double extra bonus points for having Zapp's Voodoo chips as the side.

Had great hot dogs here. Atmosphere was great and service was good.

We ate here 3x in a row. Excellent quality, always a line but served quickly... great menu for a family that needs meat, vegetarian, dairy-free, gluten free. The Cayo Bowl etc were a hit.

Didn't go here yet, I just saw your place on a "new" TRIPLE D with Guy Fieri just tonight. My question is, how old really is this show because Bad Boy Burritos down the street from you is permanently closed and has been closed for over a year according to a review on their Google maps page. Ok, nevermind, just now at the end of Triple D credits, there is a Roman numeral date of MMXIV, which is 2014. So happy you guys are still open as well DJ'S Clam Shack.🤗

The food was excellent and not that expensive. The service was great and there was great atmosphere as and artist was performing his music while we were eating. I recommend the korean steak tacos and the shrimp tacos. Overall a very good experience.

Newbies in that we’d never tried Garbo’s Grill we were wooed in by the setting! The iconic airstream food truck with patio seating under sunshades sealed the deal. The gal taking our order suggested the two specials giving us a taste of their best for my husband and I to share. The trio of tasty tacos, all different and two slider burgers filled us up and left us eager to give this sweet place 5⭐️’s all around! Yum to that Korean BBQ taco!

Such a wonderful late night spot. Airstream is serving food later than most of KW and the live music rolls through the night. Great spot
