Carriage Trade House
American · Key West, FL
About
The sign goes up when they're open, and until then you just have to wait. Carriage Trade House serves one meal a day, take it or leave it, and locals happily line up for it. This LGBTQ-owned Key West institution has been operating on its own schedule for years, making every visit an adventure.
There's no phone, no website, and definitely no reservations. First come, first seated inside a tiny space that feels like a well-kept secret. If they're closed, try Blue Heaven nearby for a different Key West classic.
