Hogfish GrillJoyce enjoying herself at Hogfish Grill on Stock Island
Hogfish Grill on Stock Island has ambiance, lots of it but it also has good food.
We dine there for both the excellent food and the ambiance
Cat enjoying the scenery from Hogfish Grill open air window
In Key West you never know what you are going to see next, you really don't. When dining at Hogfish Grill you may see a cat sitting in one of the windows (open air window) or a chicken walk through the dining area to beg a morsel from whomever is willing to share their food. Yankee Capts party fishing boat docked at Hogfish Grill on Stock Island
Yankee Capts operates 2, 3 and 4-day trips to the Dry Tortugas. They start fishing around 4-hours after they leave the dock and do not stop fishing until about 4-hours from the dock and the end of the trip. Folks that is serious fishing.
Mike & Joyce waiting for our food at Hogfish Grill on Stock Island
This picture was taken in January. I know it was January because the winter was so warm in 2011 that we did not put on long pants in the month of February. There was one week in January (possibly 10-days) that the day time temperatures dropped into the 60's with a stiff north wind so this picture must have been taken during that week. Much of Hogfish Grills dining area is alfresco or semi alfresco. In this area we have a roof but there are no windows or doors. Mike with direction post in front of Hogfish Grill on Stock Island
I am always attracted to direction posts. I want to see how far away each place is and decide if they have the arrow pointed in the right direction.

Hogfish Bar & Grill sign inside restaurant on Stock Island
I think this is an old metal sign located somewhere inside Hogfish Grill.
Feral, protected rooster (chicken) patiently waiting for scraps at Hogfish Grill table
Cats, chickens, whatever it is all part of the ambiance at Hogfish Grill on Stock Island. As you can see this gentleman is documenting the chicken that has joined them for lunch at Hogfish Grill. Also note that these folks are in shorts indicating that it was probably February since February was so nice in Key West this winter.
Stock Island weather channel reporting from Hogfish Grill on Stock Island
This weather channel sign pretty much sums up the laid back atmosphere in Key West.
It is pretty hard to explain the laid back lifestyle island folks live. You actually have to be here to understand. It isn't just one thing it is a lot of of little things. Locals do not notice someone with green hair, they do not notice a cat in the dining room, they do not notice a chicken walking through the dining room. I heard one old conch quip, "when you have seen as many Yankees as we have absolutely nothing will phase you".
Hogfish Grill Dinner MenuLOCAL DINNER SPECIALTIES
We absolutely LOVE the Havana Roast Pork but there is so much we share it and even take some home after sharing. No kidding, we share this dish and take some home. The roast pork has been marinated in Mojo which is a special marinade that is popular with the Caribbean population in this area. If you decide to dine at Hogfish Grill consider the Havana Roast Pork if you have already maxed out on seafood.
