We went for the burgers as I was tired of the seafood we had been eating. TA forum has plenty of post with Pepe's having the best burgers and they did not disapoint. I order my burgers medium rare, and next time down, I will order Medium however. The service was what I expected - this is not a white... more

Pepe's remains one of Key West's best choices for breakfast. I always go with one of the breakfast specials whatever they may be. This trip it was an omelet with proscuitto, roasted red peppers, and onions. The bread of the day was papaya. I also ordered the fried mash potato cakes which I had wanted last year but weren't offered... more

To me it was pretty damm good. We went for breakfast and was tasty, I had the asparagus, spinach, jack cheese, pastrami, omelet and my bf mom had just some eggs and fried mash potato (awesome idea). My omelet rocked!!! Service was good to us, from reading previous reviews it seems we were lucky. You try service food to a... more

After hearing so much about this place we decided to give it a try. Wish we didn't. The food is really mediocre at best and that is being generous, service not great but passable, bottled beer was warm and when we asked the waitress for colder ones on the second round, she said she would try her best??????and proceeded to... more

My boyfriend has been to Key West several times and raved about Pepe's. We went there and the staff was extremely rude from the moment we walked in the door. After being seated, we decided to go to another restaurant. The server wouldn't even let me have a glass of water before telling us that the booth we were sitting... more

After riding scooters around town for 4 hours in 95 degrees humid weather, who wouldn't want to quaff down ice cold Yeungling drafts for a $1? The super helpful local from the scooter rental recommended this place and he was spot on. We hung outside in the courtyard relaxng in the shade while cooling off in front of the large... more

My favorite things about this restaurant are: - The atmosphere - great brick backyard setting - The steaks - Oysters they are meaty - Steak smothered in Pork Chops which is a heaping mound of exactly what the name sounds like - Perfectly cooked asparagus - $1 draft beers all day every day This is a fabulous place any night... more

We get back to Pepe's each trip we make to Key West. It's just a fun place to be either out in their patio or indoors. We've only tried it for breakfast and it's definitely one of our Top 3 spots for that meal. Menu has great selection, along with daily specials. Try it, you won't be disappointed. more
