Garbos and Hanks in Key West

Garbo’s and Hank’s in Key West

One of the best places that I have been is Garbo’s and Hank’s in Key West, Florida. I love Key West everything there is so different.  We have our restaurants that we enjoy and would have to go to, but you never know what you will find in Key West. While walking down a side street away from the lights and big names of Duval Street, we heard some great music.

We followed the music to 409 Caroline Street. I entered into a patio area with lights and chairs. In the back of the chairs were tables for those ordering food. In front of the chairs was a stage with a great band performing.

Link below is video hope it works. My first try at adding video.

Just past the sitting area is Hank’s Hair of the Dog Saloon.

Hanks is a small building with a long bar offering a wild selection of drinks from soft drinks to nice wines.  Hanks also has waiters outside in the patio area and around the tables taking orders.

I walked down the walkway beside Hanks to find Garbo’s Grill.

As you can see Garbo’s Grill is a food truck.

I have ate some expensive meals in Key West and have enjoyed them, but Garbo’s Grill can stand up to any of them. We found the price to be really nice also.

We had the tacos and they were great.  I ended up spending a couple of hours there enjoying the music, food and drinks.

I hope the link to the video works this is my first time to try a video. Also I didn’t tell you the name of the band.  The members of the band laughed when I asked them, then explained that they had just gotten together and had not decided on a name.

 

Drunken Jack's

Drunken Jack’s

One of my favorite restaurants in the Myrtle Beach area is Drunken Jack’s. The restaurant is located at 4031 Highway 17 Murrell’s Inlet. We have been going to Drunken Jack’s for more than twenty years. Over that time I have seen the restaurant grow and change with the times.

I must say that the one thing that has never changed is the great food. The seafood is my main reason for going there. The combo platters are great.

When I have been at the beach for several days, I will change to beef. I love Drunken Jacks prime rib. I did not get a photo of it on this trip but some of the crew did order a couple of steaks.

Steak and fries

The meals all come with a salad bar and your choice of baked potato, fries, rice or vegetables.

I ask to be seated by a window if possible because of the nice view of the inlet.

Something that has taken place of the years and I feel will continue to grow is a walkway around the inlet. We enjoyed the walk after our meal.

Walkway around the Inlet

The walkway connects to other restaurants around the Inlet. We liked the way the restaurants have live music and areas where you can stop and listen to the performers.

I would suggest going early because they are always busy, enjoy your meal then walk around the inlet. We visit several places to listen to the music.
