Cheeseburger Key West: Ripped off... - Cheeseburger Key West Cheeseburger Key West Review

My friend and I stopped in here for lunch. The actual food was good (I had a cheeseburger, she had a chickenburger) the problem we had was the waitress. She told us that her famous mango margarita was great and it came in a pinnapple cup. So my friend said sure. Then we got the bill and the waitress charged for the drink...and charged $5.00 for the stupid looking pinnapple cup. Now the waitress said "it comes in the pinnapple cup". I take that to mean that just happens to be the cup it comes in, not that you have to pay extra for it. She wouldn't give my friend a refund on it either. What a rip off! I felt lied to...and I am serious...it is a STUPID looking cup. Like something you might pay 50 cents at the Dollar Tree for as a gag gift.

***Update*** I've eaten here again since then and everything was fine, I'm not telling you not to come here, I was just relaying a funny story. Just don't buy the souviner cup ;).

Blue Heaven: Cool atmosphere - Blue Heaven Blue Heaven Review

This place has a "trendy and cool" vibe to it. The only thing I found odd was breakfast is served all the way to 1200. A friend and I went for lunch food at 1100 and had to wait...no big deal though we just chilled at the little bar. There is also a gift shop and clean restrooms. Oh, and zero parking. You'll have to walk here from where ever you find a spot.

Favorite Dish: I had a jerk chicken sandwhich. Pretty good.

Hard Rock Cafe: You know you gotta come here Hard Rock Cafe Review

Waiter smelled like he had a couple of drinks and he got my order wrong.

Normally I love Hard Rocks, so I am assueming this was a one-time occurance. I wouldn't let it deter you from coming here. Besides, you always gotta go to Hardrock right?!

**Update** This was definatly a one time occurance. I have been to the Hard Rock many times since and the service and food was outstanding. As I type this, I'm dreaming about the Haystack salad. Mmmm.
