A little late in posting the review, but better late than never. Was searching for the best conch fritters in the area and the many reviews led me here. It was everything I was hoping for. Amazing, the best in the area. The side dipping sauce was also the best I’ve tried in KW. Definitely need to go back for more and try their Smash burger. Staff was super friendly as well

Their smash burger is top notch. The service was great and fast. The owner even came out to make sure we enjoyed our meal. I'm going for the Cuban mix next. Can't wait.

Truly the best and flavorful smash burger I’ve ever tried. Asked for their recommendation to try since it was my first time at their cute place, and oh boy, their popular double smash burger with cock sauce and home fries were amazing! Highly recommend and will definitely visit soon to try their cuban sandwich with conch fritters, and of course the smash burgers again!

Had a few smash burgers and these guys definitely know what they are doing!! Excellent quality, super friendly and perfect location! I parked in the small paid lot around the corner and walked there since finding a spot roadside would be like winning the lotto, lol. Definitely worth the effort to get to! Get extra cock sauce!! So good.

Stopped by the Wandering Rooster today for a smash burger. We got the rooster smash, tater tots and a shaved ice to cool down after. The food was excellent, the owner, Gary was super friendly and welcoming and the atmosphere/seating area was very nice. Highly recommend and can’t wait to eat here again on our next trip down to Key West!
