Was a neat place right on water and you can see plenty of fish but we should have left at the drink order when the waitress rolled her eyes and sighed heavily. We read tripadvisor at this point and found others had commented about the 'happy' servers. Food wasn't terrible but nothing to rave about. Calamari appetizer was the worst... more

The ribs were the best!! The sides were ok, not great, but the ribs were so good and so filling we didn't really need the sides anyway. Nice outdoor atmosphere and live music. more

Baby back ribs were excellent, pulled carolina beef and pork also great. The ambience was incredible, where else can you eat great BBQ and look to your left and see charter fishing boats sitting in the water. Live music was icing on the cake! If you tire of seafood? and want to switch it up this is the place. more

I did like the fact that it was a shaded, breezy place to chill out and have a drink and a bite to eat. The food was ok and I think the server could of used a happy pill, seemed a little grumpy. more

The place is a great Keysy location, but the barbecue just doesn't cut it. The real BBQ is still in the Carolinas, Kansas City, and Texas -- you can't just add sauce and call it barbecue. My husband had fish that was likely neither fresh nor local (or perhaps it was simply old and frozen). The topper was this old... more

Porky's by far was my favorite. We stayed at there resort as well and had a great time. The pulled pork sandwich and the baby back ribs all you can eat is well worth the price. The atmosphere is fun with LIVE music and very played back. The fish dip was fanstastic and if you go fishing on their boat... more

I have always been a big BBQ fan and Porkys is exactly what BBQ is all about. Although they had plenty of local seafood on the menu, My wife and I each had the spare ribs. It was their "all you can eat" special. They had a mellow smokey flavor and their homemade molasses sauce complimented them well. Good size... more

LOVED IT!
