Homemade Cuban & Bahamian Food
Locally Owned & Operated

Big Daddy Conch’s serves authentic Key West style Cuban & Bahamian food, based mostly on the family recipes of “Miss Joan” Allen Leggett, the owner’s mother.  The cooking staff spent many days at Miss Joan’s house learning how to make real Key West specialties like Cracked Conch, Shrimp and Pidgeon Peas N Rice, Conch Fritters, Picadilla, Cuban Roast Pork, even Boiled Fish. 

As the company’s Vice President of “This Food Better Taste Good”, Miss Joan regularly taste tests every one of the menu items prepared at Big Daddy Conch’s, to make sure the home cooked family flavor is perfect.   She also mandates that our Conch be flown in daily from the Caribbean, and expertly tenderized & seasoned the Bahamian way.   As a result, our Conch Salad, prepared at your table to ensure freshness, is the most tender and flavorful on the island.  In addition, we prepare our Cuban Roast Pork with a double marinating process.   Miss Joan ensures that Big Daddy Conch's takes the time to do it right.

Since you’re in Key West, you might as well experience a little of what makes this a paradise.  Start your meal off with a mojito, a Big Daddy Conch brand Coconut Water, some Big Daddy Conch Tea, or try our Homemade Sangria.

During your visit to Big Daddy Conch’s, don’t forget to stop by the gift shop where you can pick up cool Island themed gifts, souvenirs and apparel.

So welcome to Big daddy Conch’s where everything is so good that Miss Joan says “it wouldn’t be any better if you ate at my house”!
