Everything on the menu is delicious. My favorite is the black and blue ribeye steak but the Oysters are to die for. Always fresh and never sandy. Indoor and outdoor seating and an outside bar. Never a long wait for the food and servers are always so nice.This place has all the Key West charm and off the main strip.
We've eaten our Thanksgiving dinner there for years now and have never been disappointed. The staff is friendly and the food is great. Don't forget to say hi to Billy Bob the resident feline
Great place for breakfast! Wait can be a bit long, but it's worth it. Beautiful indoor/outdoor shaded seating, wonderful food, friendly staff, great atmosphere. Dogs allowed. Fresh squeezed OJ.
We will forever remember Pepe’s as the best place to go for Thanksgiving. We enjoyed the music, people watching and of course the special island cocktails all around Conch Harbour before arriving Pepe’s. We ordered a bottle of wine and awaited our great turkey and dressing dinner. It was fantastic and we plan to return same time next year.
Went with my husband and two kids for thanksgiving. Arrived at 4:30, they put us on the list. We sat there until 6:30. We saw people who arrived after us get seated before us. We also saw regulars that seemed to know the bartender really well get served almost immediately. Asked the guy seating people after two hours how long the wait would be and he said there was one table before us but I could see on the scratch paper that he completely skipped us. I don't care how good their thanksgiving dinner is. It's not worth waiting over two hours. Won't go back.
Fantastic small steak, fresh green beans and great service. Wonderful meal. And the allow pets!
Breakfast, Lunch or Dinner will not disappoint!. Try the Skillet Mushrooms, Fresh squeezed Juices, Key Lime Pie, Bar Menu is Fantastic! Steaks, Seafood etc. You will enjoy whatever you order! Noted as the Oldest Dining Establishment in Key West. A Hemmingway Hideout
Rustic and delicious. Food was incredible and extremely friendly service. Found a new Key West must go to spot!
AMAZING filet! Such a wonderful cut, and cooked perfectly. Had a great meal, but small coke bottles and small water glasses meant a lot of refills. We got them, and everything we needed, but service wasn't very friendly (Server did not linger, I was not able to tell her how pleased I was with the filet). I dislike taking a whole star away, but Google doesn't allow half star options. Go for the food, but don't expect to chat it up.
Every visit to Key West eat here at least a couple times mainly for breakfast. Walk from southern end of KW to get here & it's always worth the trip. Never had a bad meal or service. Fresh food in timely fashion.
For me the following isn't a complaint (still giving 5⭐) but some people might be put off by restrooms - small & no air conditioning. FYI - Many of the good eateries in Key West have same situation.
Super awesome place!! Food is amazing and service is excellent. Luckily i found out this restaurant by accident thanks god. You should try trust me. This is my first review ever!!!
Pepe's is known for its flair for Cuban flavors and usually handles a large group basically friendly service and food and service was just Ok lots of fun things to look at. Best if you avoid weekends because of nearby sunset celebration your service will be challenged. Arrive early for dinner then go watch sunset. We love the fact that it's decent food and you have a real treasure museum to just look at.
I love this place! Great food - always something different to try. The restaurant has historical significance in Key West so the story behind the place is pretty interesting. If you're going to Key West, you have to stop here for breakfast, lunch or dinner at least once.
A must if you like "original" places and great steaks!
We enjoyed our visit in Pepe's.
It has a really nice atmosphere, quaint and cozy, or call it original. The staff was so friendly and lovely, even if we came in very late and near closing time.
The food was delicious, we had steaks with different sides. The steaks were perfectly cooked and great quality. The sides, I remember broccoli and mashed potatoes, also very tasty. And don't forget the homemade sauces, amazing.
