Some diver friends suggested this restaurant, so we stopped on our way to Key West. We sat down outside and waited for a server. Almost everyone else was at the inside bar watching a football game. The view of the bay is very nice, though there was a DJ nearby at the outside bar that kept ending songs early and... more

Most restaurants in Key Largo are overpriced and cater to passing tourists so you're paying a premium for the location. Jimmy Johnson has a restaurant Big Chill on Key Largo that was really good. The service was very good. The rolls are delicious. Better than average bar food plus the view of the gulf. HOpe it stays in business because... more

Monday, Sept. 28 2009 - If you want to be up for 3 -4 hours, throwing up and going to the bathroom, eat the snapper with the lobster cream sauce. It tasted like the fish had been cooked for a couple hours. The salad was mediocre and the baked potato was at least a day old! The enchiladas Senor Frijoles... more

We had dinner at The Big Chill last night. The deck was awesome with a full view of the bay and sunset. The bar area featured live music, which added to the festive atmosphere. I had the angel hair pasta with shrimp. The pasta was the right firmness, and the shrimp were plump and tender. The sauce was butter with... more

After a nice evening in Miami, my wife and I drove back thinking to stop somewhere in Key Largo for a relaxing dinner as we love the Keys very much. My wife suggested this place. It looks like a lot of money was spent here on decor and such, but over all you get a feeling of poor ambiance. We... more

Stopped here on the way to Key West (which was a terrible waste of time, but that's another review). The food was average at best. The service was...okay. The dining area overlooks a dock and the water, which is sort of nice. The good was pretty good - not terrific. And of course, it was expensive. 3 people (two adults,... more

we have been to the big chill twice, both visits have been disappointing. We ate inside once, it was so loud that we couldn't talk. This time we ate outside to enjoy the sunset. The music was so loud and distasteful, the food just so-so and expensive. Give the keys it's flavor it should have, good food, caribbean music and... more

A great view of the sunset helped the vibe of this place. Food was nothing special, but no complaints. I had fish tacos and they were fine. Mojito was weak, though. more

as a local resident of 18 years we look forward to finding new dining experiences.......the big chill is now following in the foot steps of previously failed restaurants....obviously poorly managed, or not managed at all.....the lack of staff, inexperienced chefs, waiters etc ...... combined efforts, or lack of ...slowly deliver meals so poorly prepared and presented ...a guest experience is... more

I came down to the Keys on Memorial Day weekend with some friends. On Friday night as we were arriving, I noticed a lights show in the sky, like the ones you see near Disney World from the turnpike. It turned out to be Jimmy Johnson's Big Chill and it was the opening weekend for him. When we walked up... more
