  Very dog friendly and they have breakfast or happy hour

  Several outside tables that are all dog friendly. All are shaded. Very good oysters and very popular breakfast stop.

  Nice lunch spot away from Duval

  Extremely dog friendly. Our server brought ice water and dog bowl to the table right away. Even brought her some bacon (after asking first).

  Very dog friendly

  We have taken our canine to Pepe’s several times for breakfast and lunch. Covered outside patio for dogs and their family. Our friendly waitress brought a dog bowl with iced water to the table and warmly greeted him. We have been at Pepe’s when each table outside had a dog. They were established in 1909, but are under new ownership in 2022.
  Breakfast is excellent, they have daily French toast, daily bread, and other special items in addition to the menu. Fresh squeezed Orange juice is wonderful and also used in Mimosas. Lunch has a nice selection including oysters and sandwiches. Staff and visitors go out of their way to greet your dog.

  Good place to bring your dog, but...

  First, let me say that I'm very appreciative of places that allow you to bring your pet.. there is a shaded outdoor area with fans, which is great for bringing the dog.. from a food and beverage perspective, however, this place is so so.. beer on tap was barely cool.. bloody Mary was watered down.... my steak was cooked very well, but covered in so much blue cheese that I had to scrape most of it off (and I LOVE blue cheese)..

  My wife's seafood trio was very good, no complaints there

  Great Location

  Great food, they made my dog feel welcome. The oysters are to die for and the margiritas are perfect.

  Went for dessert

  Had a wonderful key lime pie. Apple crisp wasn't as good. They brought a water dish out for my dog. Very accommodating.

  Doesn't live up to the hype

  The food was OK, nothing to write home about. We didn't feel that our dog, who was extremely well-behaved, was welcome at the restaurant at all. Perhaps the folks providing the glowing reviews are friends of the owners and regulars of the restaurant. We felt like we were given the cold shoulder. If I could do it over again, it would have been more fun to picnic instead.

  Don't miss this Key West treasure

  We've been going to Pepe's for 20 years, the past 2 with our dog, Baxter. Incredibly dog friendly. Try the fresh fruit drinks--screwdriver, strawberry daiquiri. And don't forget to try the BEST key lime pie ever!

  Ice water for the dogs on a hot day

  Pepe's continues to be a great tradition, extending to hospitality for our two dogs. It was s very hot day and our girls were treated with a doggie bowl of iced water. There was a table large enough for them to crawl under and get shade.

  Food is plentiful and good. Prices reasonable for Key West. Drinks are excellent.

  Great Place

  Rustic feel, cats lounging in the roof canopies. Great staff brought water for the pup. Grouper and pulled pork were both fantastic. Inexpensive for Key West.

  Amazing Food, No Problem with Dog

  April 2014 MUST GO! We waited until the end of our trip to go here and it was the great. Walking up you might think I'm crazy with the dated exterior and laid back look but you really must go! Fresh juices in the drinks, no mixers=AMAZING. Starters we got Peel and Eat Shrimp which were the best we'd ever had, they season them some and they're great. Homemade cocktail Sauce to boot! Main Courses we had MahiMahi with Lemon Caper Sauce which came with mashed potatoes and choice of veg, we got Asparagus- All Amazing! Other entree was the Special Yellowtail Snapper which came with crab cakes on rice with asparagus and an Oscar sauce on top- delicious but portion size was huge. Wish we came earlier on our trip it was that good! They we're great with the dog bringing water with the Pepe's logo on it! Nice touch to make you feel comfortable.

  Don't just stop for breakfast.

  Food and service were great. Many come for breakfast but don't forget to give the lunch or dinner specials a try. They were very accommodating to pups (bring water/treats/bacon from kitchen) and allowing good choice of seating in the courtyard. We actually had to stop them from giving too many treats! According to a new ordinance [Chapter 109 Dogs in Public Food Service Establishments] restaurants need to apply for a permit with “Code” at the city of Key West to allow dogs in their eatery. Many of the previous pet friendly places have done so, while others have not in protest. In KW fashion they may or may not honor the code. So, be sure to call ahead to see what they welcome.

We dug up 4 pictures of dogs at Pepe's Cafe & Steakhouse.
