Jimmy Buffett’s restaurant in Key West, home of the cheeseburger in paradise.

The original Margaritaville on Duval Street in Key West
Margaritaville Cafe – where legions of fans enjoy island drinks and cheeseburgers in paradise.

Just saying the word Margaritaville can bring many a Jimmy Buffett fan to near frenzy.

Thoughts of beaches & blenders, pirates & sailors, fill the minds Parrotheads and frequently send them on a one-way course to Key West.

And why not? Buffett was singing about the American Caribbean we love – Key West.

So while in town, if you need a Buffett Break, head to Margaritaville Cafe for some of the cold drinks, cheeseburgers (of course), and songs by the man himself.

Chances of him showing up and playing a tune? They increase with every blender drink.

Location: 500 Duval Street
