Key west style through and through. Dine in or eat outside in partially shaded area... Pick your spot! The tables are well varnished in what looks like a marine varnish to protect them from the outdoors. Very nice!!! We found this place the last day we were there. Had we found it earlier, we would've ate there a few more times!!
Husband had a crab cake sandwich. If you like crab and no fillers this is the crab cake for you. I enjoyed the mahi mahi grilled sandwich wonderfully done. On both sandwiches you could not even see the bread!!! After we were done the server brought the ticket out on a mouse trap!!! Very cute!! This was lunch so the price was probably lunch time prices.

Pepe's Cafe is a steakhouse that is very popular with the locals. They serve breakfast (7:30am-Noon), lunch (til 5:30pm), and dinner (til 10:30pm). I have not been to Pepe's for dinner, but I had a wonderful breakfast there.
They offer traditional American breakfast food, homemade breads, and fresh-squeezed OJ.
I had a perfectly portioned order of French Toast, while my husband had creamed chip beef (SOS) and that morning's special side-dish, potato cakes, which were small portions of mashed potatoes, lightly fried to make a shell around them.

Charming little pub-like interior but we sat outside under the beautiful arbor and enjoyed some of the very best fish chowder I have ever had. Our waiter claimed mahi another waiter disagreed, I don't recall the outcome but the bottom line is the flavor. This was the soup de jour made with lovely sweet morsels of white meat fish, some relatively mild jalepenos added to the flavor but did not mask it, and a delicious cream based fish broth. It was heaven on earth! The rest of the meal was in fact delicious but we agreed the soup was the show stopper!

A very charming, unique place. Not at all fancy, half the seating is open-air, but the food is marvelous. There's a good amount of menu choices, everything we had was very tasty and they are open for breakfast, lunch & dinner.
Although very simple, my favorite was the home-made granola with yogurt and fresh fruit for breakfast. It was like starting your day with a dessert sundae!
An unusual dinner item on the menu: 'steak smothered in pork chops'!! We couldn't convince either of our manly-men to order it...has anybody here had it??

This Restaurant was recommended by several of the locals. Opened in 1909, it looks like a dive, but the food is quite good! I would say that it is worth the difficulty finding it, as it is not located along the more popular areas of the island.
The grilled "fish of the day" sandwich, which was Mahi-mahi on my day, was one of the best light fare meals I had during my entire time on Key West.

I came across Pepe's while wandering towards the marina on Caroline Street in Key West on the next to last day of the trip. As i had already eaten, I made note of it for the next day.
Pepe's looks like a "run-down" shack, to be honest, but dont let the looks throw you off. The first thing you'll see when you find Pepe's is the aged sign hanging outside proclaiming 75cent breakfast (prices have gone up over time). Also you'll notice that it says that it is the oldest eating establishment on the island beginning in early 1900 (1909 i think). There's a fence beside the main door with holes drilled in to let you look in on the diners though faces are painted around your eyes to those inside.
Once inside, you'll find a very cozy main area to the restaurant with high backed booths and a fireplace with one wall looking out onto the side patio that has tables for eating. Also outside and on the right of the patio is a bar and waiting area to be seated (and the requisite shirt/souveneir stand). You'll notice if you listen to the waitresses and owner that this is a local eatery. Personally, thats what i look for when i travel, no point in eating at a chain you can get at home.
Breakfast is served till 12 which is when i was there and it is very reasonably priced in relation to what you'll spend (or spent) in other island restaurants. The waitstaff is good and fast, but dont be offended if they dont hang around to talk. Breakfast was a very busy time when we were there.
Id suggest breakfast as that was when you seem to get the most local flavor, the owner told us its his busiest time of the day. Also the lunch menu wasnt large and unfortunately i gave the dinner menu to quick of a pass to remember details.
Dont let the outside looks fool you, the foods good and the character's better.
I had the steak omelot which covered 3/4 of my plate and hung over each side. If you dont like peppers or onions it may be much as they are big chunks within. Also they had a bread of the day that was baked fresh. While i didnt have it my companions did and raved over the home cooked bread.

The self proclaimed oldest eating establishment in Key West has evidence of many celebrity patrons. I can see why. Pepe's was really good. Adrian had a generous portion of pancakes that were just as anyone would make at home. He said they were good but wishes he would have tried something else. I had one of the specials of the day (biscuits and gravy). Everyone gravy is different, but if you are a fan you will love this. The biscuits that covered the plate were large and fluffy and the gravy had a great creamy texture and balanced seasoning.
Try Pepe's for breakfast, its a lot better than it looks from outside!

As with many things in Key West, don't judge too much from the outside appearance of the place.
It may look a bit run down, but inside is a great local restaraunt/bar. Serves a variety.
I like to eat breakfast at the bar. Standard bacon & eggs. Breakfast is pretty cheap. Lunch and Dinner a bit more $$ Leave a Comment Theme: LocalPrice: US$11-20 » Currency ConverterComparison: about averageAddress: 806 Caroline Street towards harborPhone: 305.294.7192Directions: if you cross whitehead you're going the wrong way). between 5-10 blocks before you reach Pepe's. across from the giant market with a sea scene painted over the outside.Website: http://www.pepescafe.net
