   It was my birthday celebration and the server went above and beyond to make me feel special! We even got pictures together and everything. She also brought out a piece of guava cheesecake and a candle to sing hbd at the end. I wish I could remember her name but she was the best!

   Food was horrible. Asked for medium well steaks and got well done. Potatoes weren’t even cooked, served cold and hard. Worse than a Perkins but expect a hefty price tag

   We had been here many years ago and it was excellent. However, this time we were underwhelmed by the service and food. Our steak was over cooked and our server was not very attentive. Food took a long time.

   Really bad. We ordered salads and baked oysters, when the salad arrived it was piled high on the serving plate and proved impossible to eat without scattering the contents across the table. Next the server brought us raw oysters, we sent these back we ordered baked. The replacement oysters were over cooked and cold ( it takes special talent to do that) the server never asked how our meal was and seemed as if she had better things to do. Over the years I have eaten at Pepe’s on numerous occasions and it was always delightful.

    Mojitos are out of this world!!! The absolute best! We ate dinner there, and enjoyed the live music. Food was delicious. Service great! Everything was just exactly what we expected…maybe even better! 👍🏻 I’d definitely recommend trying Pepe’s.

    Excellent service. Nina was terrific. Cornbread outstanding. Pork chops very tasty but huge portion. Big enough to share. Stone crabs very good. Key lime pie one of the best on the island.

    Ordered the surf and turf for Valentine’s Day dinner. Based on the price was I not expecting to be blown away. Lobster tail was prepared perfectly, did not need butter. If anyone has prepared lobster at home or eaten rubbery lobster at home, it can be over cooked. Pepe’s did it to perfection. My compliments to the chef. The filet was cooked to requested temp for both myself and my fiancé and did not require any additional seasoning. Pepe’s is a classic and has always impressed.

    There was more than a 30 minute lag time between the time I received my meal and my friend received his meal. Aside from that, the food was sub-standard and the cleaning lady was using some god-awful industrial strength detergent to clean the other tables around us which permeated the air and made my food taste like soap. Never again will I make the mistake to go to this awful place.

    This was a return trip. We had eaten here in Nov 22 and this was our first meal for supper when we returned. The food quality and preparation were no where nearly as good. I had the seafood trio special and the shrimp were almost sun dried hard. The fish was decent. My wife had the black and blue ribeye and it was just ok, but definitely not worth the $43 or $46 price. Our server was very friendly and said she was new and just learning. We had to ask for the specials and never were asked if we wanted any additional drinks. But her friendliness was great. Our first trip was amazing! This one was a large bust and probably will not try a third time. Too many great choices nearby.

    Nice atmosphere and reasonably priced. We ordered two steaks and shared a wedge salad. The salad was quite good and ample to share. The steaks, baked potatoes and broccoli arrived cold, however we ate them anyway as we were very hungry. The butter wouldn’t melt on the potatoes and the steaks were slightly overcooked. They came medium although we order medium rare. Our meal in total was over $100. We believe they were short staffed and let the food sit for quite a while before bringing it to our table. For the price we would recommend another place until they can correct these shortcomings.

    Oh my goodness… every one at our table got something different and each item was super-delicious… Crab Cake BLT, Pulled Pork, Turkey Club Sandwich, Coleslaw and Key Lime Pie. Before we even tasted the food, we were hooked on Pepe’s Long Island Tea. For our first meal in Key West the bar was set pretty high. A dining experience we won’t forget!!!

    New Year’s Eve, very busy so hard to judge. Prime rib was cold and bernaise just wasn’t bernaise… not sure what it was. Chicken had no flavor. 2 meals were taken off the bill which was very fair but didn’t have time to order replacement. Will try again on a less busy night, it’s a landmark in key west!

    Perhaps it was a little too hyped up for us or maybe we should have gone during breakfast? But the dinner was just 'ok'. Nothing wrong with it and nothing to write home about. Next time we're in town we will stop by for breakfast but I'm not sure we will come back for dinner. However, with that being said. They did have a killer Ceasar salad.

    Best place we dined while in Key West! Unassuming spot. Went on a friends recommendation and were thoroughly impressed. Generous portions. Fresh, delicious fish. Mahi was not overcooked or dry like many places. Bartender made great drinks - definitely not watered down. Will definitely be back.
