    Wanted to love this place! Saw the reviews and thought to myself… This place is going to be amazing! Upon being seated the waitress promptly took our drink orders (bonus points), i ordered off the lunch menu but my family ordered breakfast. The breakfast burrito was tasty, but the potatoes were under cooked and slightly raw. The 2x2x2 was likely the best meal and it was the perfect size for my 10 year old. I ordered the fish tacos and they were just ok.. super fishy smelling and over cooked, the only saving grace was the homemade salsa which doesn’t come on this meal (10 out of 10 for the salsa). There was an issue with the food coming out at different times, which is annoying but forgivable. Honestly, this place was just OK for the price. Notes on other reviews, cash only.

    One of the best meals we ate. We ate breakfast here. The staff were amazing. Super nice. We loved the home.town feel as many guests were called by name. We sat outside. The weather was amazing. The view was nice. The restaurant Near the docks. We had the crab omelet and the crab cake Benedict. Both were amazing.

    So far it is the best place in Key West for brunch that we have tried. The restaurant is not huge, but cozy with very nice decorations; you can feel the love the owners have put into this place. We ordered the 2:2:2 (2 French toasts, 2 eggs, 2 sausages), the lobster eggs Benedict and the crab cake eggs Benedict. We highly recommend any of them, but our favorite was the lobster eggs Benedict. They really know how to perfectly make eggs, just on point, inviting you to lick the plate! The service was also really nice. One thing to keep in mind is that this place is cash only, so better to come prepared. They have an ATM onsite, but of course, there will be ATM fees.

    Had a great breakfast here this morning. The service is personable and friendly. Food was good. Great location and great overall place to have breakfast. A lot of the locals coming in were ordering the breakfast sandwiches. Will definitely be back. Oh, it's cash only too so bring your cash.

    One of the most vibrant breakfast places in Key West. This place is bustling with so much energy at 10am+. Don't underestimate the simple order- coffee and eggs with toast. It was food for the soul! Corn dog hashbrown was delicious too. Cute merchandise in store! Love the energy of this place.

    Let me start with this place It has a great location. They have a great and friendly staff. They do get super busy and you probably may have to wait 20-30 min if they are busy but it's worth it. We had a traditional breakfast so nothing to show off but it was delicious!!! I saw other plates served in other tables and they looked delicious and I could hear and see people's faces in how pleased they were with the food. That was enough for me to buy it. The decoration of the restaurant is amazing and it's a trip on its own!!! This is a great spot to go and I'll highly recommend it 🔥🔥🔥

    This is a great spot for a reasonably priced and delicious breakfast! Just be aware it is a cash only place. We loved the music decor! Our server was sweet and efficient, our food came out quick and hot. Blood Mary's and mimosas were just right. We will put this on our list when we return for sure.

    Absolutely love this place. The atmosphere is unique and fun. The employees are super friendly and knowledgeable about everything local. They love to share their life story and living in the key details. It doesn’t matter what time of day you eat here, the food is always excellent. My hubby and I tried all the big food recommends in key west and we’re disappointed greatly. We ended up coming back to Harpoon Harry’s everyday . They do have outside seating and are pet friendly. They are cash only. Absolutely recommend!

    The food was excellent our server was cute and wonderful. My Cubano was crusty and perfect. The key lime French toast. The humor in the bathroom was ideal.

    First timer. We went for breakfast on a weekday in June around 8:30am. Sat at the counter with no wait. My wife had biscuits and gravy, and I had the eggs benedict. The hollandaise sauce was good. Prices are reasonable. Cash only - there is an ATM machine on site. Lots of colorful decor to take in. The best part is the location. A huge public parking lot is right across the street. A nice walk to Duval afterward. We will be back!

    HH’s was great! You have to pay in cash but I will gladly give them my paper. We came here for brunch. Our server was nice and super helpful. As lunch one of the members of my group got fish tacos and he was delighted. For breakfast, the pancake was fluffy and eggs were scrambled well. We also ordered the chicken fried steak and honestly it was one of the best one’s we’ve ever had!!! Delicious! Loved Harpoon Harry’s and I am looking forward to making my way back.

    Best Breakfast 🥞 🍳 in Key West by far! The food here is Fresh and made to order! It’s like a little touch of heaven. Come back for lunch and try the Burger 🍔 It isn’t the frozen patty from around the corner either. No, They hand pat the fresh burgers and grill them to perfection.

    A local Spot to enjoy. They have history in key west and you should make the effort to enjoy it. We came early for Father’s Day. No wait as it was 0630 🎉 our pancakes and Belgian waffles were great! The local vibe is eclectic, fun, welcoming, oh so charming!

    Delicious and affordable breakfast. The staff is extremely friendly and helpful. We loved the 222 and the Key-lime french toast. Important note: they only accept cash!

  • 5/5 Zita 1 year ago on Google
    I was only looking for a quick stop for breakfast, but wasn’t expecting to get a mini-experience out of it too! The menu options are similar to what you’d expect at any diner but for the location, it is very reasonably priced and definitely more delicious! I was greeted by a friendly gentleman (whom I later assumed was the owner or manager) who immediately made me feel welcomed just by his demeanor. Sitting at the counter, I observed other customers openly greeting each other as if they were regulars and even if this isn’t accurate, the atmosphere alone made me feel as if I was a part of their gang. Although quite packed, my server was very attentive. The ambiance comes with a fun 50s diner-esk feel with pops of local art and ocean themes. I realized my quick stop turned into almost an hour because I was enjoying the vibe so much!

    Loved the breakfast and the atmosphere. This place is a goto when we go to Key West. The lobster and crab omelet is one of the best. You need to give it a try. Everyone is so friendly there and the owner walks around and greets people.

  • 5/5 Leila Alieva - The R. 11 months ago on Google
    Always good food, my favorite is a smoked salmon omelette and for dessert CARROT CAKE 🤤 The atmosphere takes you back in time, great place. The only thing that is inconvenient is that it's only cash, so do not forget to bring cash or they do have an ATM inside. If you're in KW I'd recommend to go there for breakfast for sure 😊

  • 4/5 Matthew Y. 1 year ago on Google
    Food was good, when they say key lime pie French toast, they mean it. There was a slice of key lime pie between 2 slices of French toast. Don't forget to ask for the real maple syrup.

  • 5/5 Todd C. 1 year ago on Google
    I was hesitant at first due to cash only policy, however, it was very well worth it! The food was excellent, only matched to our server and bartender. The decor and artwork have a vintage 50's feel, which is both nostalgic and fun. Outside seating (weather permitting) is available.

    So you're in Key West and you want a good solid meal at a fair price, I'd recommend Harpoon Harry's. We got the daily special, which on Sunday, was the fried chicken with mashed potatoes, gravy, and coleslaw. $12.99. You get half a chicken with an excellent, crisp, and thin coating. The potatoes had that perfect mix of creamy mashed with chunks of potatoes covered in delicious brown gravy. The coleslaw was the surprise, as it was given the right amount of horseradish to balance the sweetness of the slaw dressing. Friendly staff, unique atmosphere, topped off with a wonderful meal. 5 stars Harry's. Please note Harry's ONLY takes cash.

    This is the local spot! Daily breakfast lunch and dinner specials it's like coming to cheers everyone knows your name! Nice bar to sit at or booths and tables! Very comfortable vibrant environment and the food was delicious! Had the Wednesday dinner special turkey dinner with all the fixings! Just like mom makes! Friendly prompt and authentic service!

  • 2/5 Evelyn D. 8 months ago on Google
    The place looks inviting but their food is bad, I mean really bad. It almost tastes like a TV dinner box you get from Walmart, plus the portions are small for what you pay, and it has no taste, it's literally plastic. Also their happy hour is expensive and the food choices are extremely limited. If you want fresh juice, forget to get it here, because everything is store bought from a box. Their staff is neither bad nor good, they are just there, certainly not tip worthy. I'm gonna include pics so that you get a look and feel of the place, the food *might* look decent, but believe me, it's pure plastic.

    Great traditional mom and pop breakfast bar. Atmosphere was very welcoming. Service was great. Visiting key west for 5 days - will probably have breakfast here every day.

  • 5/5 Shawna C. 9 months ago on Google
    Ordered the key lime pie French toast and at first I wasn’t sure what made it “key limey”. Until I opened the bread a little they give you a slice of Kermit’s key lime pie inside of it! The raspberry sauce was so good and I didn’t even need syrup, even though they provided it. The sausage patties were delish and my husbands corn beef hash was also good. However, our waitress, Judy made the experience extra special. She was the sweetest. All the employees were so nice and welcoming though from the minute we walked in. Will definitely be back.

    Coll spot for breakfast or lunch. Has some retro decor and playing old music. The key lime French toast was good. I thought it would be Sugar overload but wasn't too bad. The coffee was good and our server was really nice. The place is cash only but they do have an ATM if needed.
