Recommendation from a local & happy we took it! Great ambiance & food! The yellow snapper was delish . Stone crabs were so tasty! They are pricey little guys. BUT the margaritas and Bloody Mary was the best we’ve had here in KW. Definitely a favorite!

Pepe‘s restaurant was a treat. Dining at the second oldest restaurant in Florida and oldest in Key West definitely had charm, value and excellent food. We took advantage of the nightly specials which was prime rib, which is hard to find in Florida these days and it was superlative. Our dining companion had a 16 ounce steak that was phenomenal that they shared with the other party.. The house made baked potatoes were off the chain good as was the demiglaze reduction and gravywas top notch. Service was good and the atmosphere was quirky and a mix of locals as well as tourists, but had the right mix of people as well as dining options. Highly recommended Spot when visiting Key West.!

Very casual and kind of a dive restaurant. Food was good but not great. Service was very good. Depends upon what you are looking for. There are far better restaurants in key west. Go for a drink first and then decide if you want dinner. Margaritas are awesome and all fresh squeezed juices for the mix.

We had the best meal of our vacation at Pepe’s. The food was cooked to perfection, the portions were large and the service was great. Their margarita was voted the best in the Keys and it was truly delicious. We sat in the outdoor section and enjoyed the antics of the gypsy chickens. A great dining experience altogether.
