Had the Turkey dinner, it was actual roasted Turkey with gravy, dressing mashed and veggies.

We knew we wanted to go here and we searched for the address. We thought we had arrived and discovered we were at a different Pepe's close to Mallory square! We left and went to Caroline street where we had intended to go. The oyster sampler was awesome! They also have a wonderful fish sandwich. We sat at the small bar as the restaurant was fairly crowded. Enjoy and make sure you're at the right place!

French toast, coffee and a great Bloody Mary. The breakfast of Key West champions. There's a reason this place has been in business for so long and no visit to KW is complete without eating and drinking at Pepe's.

I was looking for more of a whole in the wall place with delicious food & I found it! It's hard to eat clean when you're on vacation & most places in Key West have very carb heavy restaurants. The food at Pepe's Cafe was fantastic & the corn bread was made from scratch. They brought that last & I didn't even get to take a photo because we all jumped on it. Service was quick, meal prices were fair & the atmosphere was chill. The only reason I'm giving it a 4 star review is because the bathrooms could be cleaner.

Best Food In key west! We visited two weeks and tried just about every place and found this place THE BEST PLACE and Most reasonably Prices. BEST OYSTERS AND INEXPENSIVE compared to many places, nice sized too!! They have a great variety of food but their seafood was our favorite. They also have a sister Restaurant called Two Friends AMAZING FOOD!! And Voted Number 1 place BLOODY MARYS!! They were never t wrong. We ate there everyday for breakfast after we found this place on our second day!! Music there is pretty good too Great Service at both places we are going to these two places next year for our meals.

The place was packed for happy hour, appeared to be under staffed. Glad they took and we had reservations. Party of 5, we all enjoyed the heck out of 88 cent oysters. The shrimp were delicious. $1.50 beer, $6.00 margaritas, keep in mind those are happy hour prices. The place is very cute. Make reservations

Finally made it back to Pepe's after a few years. The ambiance was everything I remembered and loved about the place. Casual with a fun and welcoming vibe. Upon entering, there was a very young "hostess" seated to the side that we weren't really sure if she was working or not. She got us seated and all was good. Our reservation was at 6pm and the place was hopping upon our arrival. Glad we had a reservation as we watched several people get turned away although they were able to accommodate some walk-ins. Our server was helpful and explained specials, etc. our bottle of wine arrived quickly, followed by appetizers and our entrees. My husband had oysters medley for a starter. He ate all 6 of them and enjoyed the variety. For dinner I had the Surf & Turf which was a 5 ounce filet mignon and a lobster tail. It was served with 2 sides of your choice. I had the rice and a baked potato. It was perfect. My husband had the Snapper Pepe style. He was in the clean plate club for sure and raved about the flavors. Your entree comes with cornbread which we living refer to as "cornbread cake". It is truly like a dessert it is so delicious. It has a smooth texture and is just so good! If you haven't been here before I would add it to your list. It is steeped in history that makes it that much more special. Bonus: a few chickens wandering around to complete the ambiance.
