This blink-and-you'll-miss-it corner stand doesn't look like much, but they have some of the best conch fritters in Key West. You may have to wait a few minutes if there's a line, but it's worth it. The fritters are made to order, perfectly cooked and served with a Key lime aioli. If you score one of the few stools at their walk-up bar, settle in with a cold beer to watch the parade of people go by. If it's a warm day, they turn on misters to help everyone stay cool. Note that their hours are based on island time: "11ish to 10ish weeknights and til midnight on weekends." If it's raining, all bets are off.
