"If you’ve done even a tiny amount of research on where to eat in Key West, you’ve probably seen the words Blue Heaven. And this classic is worth a visit. That’s not because of the seafood-heavy menu—which is fine, if a little antiquated—but because there’s just something about the outdoor space that channels the very essence of Key West. Tables are scattered beneath a huge tree that hangs over the entire restaurant, and there’s usually live music playing at the ideal volume. If nothing on the menu is speaking to you, just get the cheeseburger and a slice of their famous key lime pie with a ridiculously tall hat of meringue. There will be a wait during busy season, but if you’re just here for the pie, you can buy a slice at Blue Heaven’s outdoor bar across the street and watch someone sing cover songs." - ryan pfeffer
"Made entirely from scratch, this pie rests in a buttery graham cracker crust beneath a light, zesty, creamy filling that leans slightly sweet while keeping enough tartness for balance. The towering, toasted meringue finish is the showstopper—piled impossibly high and requiring a hot knife to cut so it doesn't collapse. A sister location serves the same slice with a view of Key West's Higgs Beach." - Charlene Fang
