10Best Says

Mixed among the seafood shacks and tiki bars in Islamorada, M.E.A.T. Eatery and Taproom is a carnivore's dream. The antithesis of the health food cafe, the eateries' gluten-free menu has few veggies in sight. Indulge in Braised Pork Belly, Pan Seared Foie Gras or a Manchego Cheeseburger. The brainchild of Chef George Patti and sommelier Thomas Smith, the restaurant opened in 2012 in a small strip mall at mile marker 88 on U.S. Highway 1 in the Florida Keys. Don't be fooled by their humble facade. Inside, Patti cooks up "gourmet fast food" like homemade sausages and specialty burgers. The cozy interior has the feeling of an ultra-modern pub with faux brick walls and a 20' long bar. The 40 seats are usually bustling with a combination of regulars and visitors in-the-know. Give yourself ample time for Chef Patti to create your gluten-free requests from scratch.
