    Fantastic food, affordable prices, great service in an authentic Key West place. We had the stone crab, Florida lobster and a perfectly cooked filet wrapped in bacon. Really a 5 star experience.

    Always a must in KW. Lively, casual environment, lots of character with delicious oysters, bloody Mary’s and that Key Lime pie is a must.

    Great food. Great service. Great value for the fantastic quality of food in Key West. Yellowtail snapper was delicious. Black and Blue ribeye special was amazing. Food came to the table temperature proper. A pet peeve of mine is when the food is served not hot.

    Love this place for breakfast & a fave place for lunch, so decided to try for dinner. Bone-in Ribeye didn’t disappoint (special was Blue Cheese crusted with gravy & it was very good. Cornbread brought to the entire table was so good - ask for it if they don’t bring it, just wish we had it while eating our White Bean soup of the day. The waitress packed us up more cornbread to take back to room with milk. Lots of local ambiance & clientele - love this!

    Disappointed. Been here many times before, not sure what happened, but will be hard to return. Place was really quite dirty. Service slow and uneven. Food cold and just ok. What happened?!?

    I’ve been to Key West 11 times, and invariably, I’ll go to Pepe’s. The food is always great; this visit I had the wonderful Key West Pinks. As importantly, the service is always great. This visit Christine was my server, and she was phenomenal.
