The restaurant is decorated really nicely. Gives the old school diner vibe. Food wasn't too expensive but it is cash only!! Our server was nice but did not check up on us much. The food was underwhelming. Kinda bland, little to no seasoning. A good stop if you need a quick, cheap bite to eat. read more

Harpoon Harry's - Chicken Sandwich, Onion Rings - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Key West, Florida

I like the wait staff and the food, But the management leaves a lot to be desired. I have a service animal, a very well trained, but large German Shepherd. I have eaten there a few times but, unlike so much of Key West, always felt a little unwelcome at the management level (front desk). This morning, when for the third day in a row, I politely presented the empty water bowls for filling, I was met with a grim "are you coming in", as if to say, we are not obligated to water your dog if you are not a paying customer, or, we really don't want you coming in. To make sure I was not reading into anything, I mentioned a customers negative attitude from the day before. He said, "some people just do not like dogs and hair all over everything". I don't think the welcome mat was rolled out. I would suggest that people with dogs or people that like dogs avoid Harpoon Harry's. It's pretty inhospitable. As the saying goes: "A fish stinks from the head". read more

Stopped in for breakfast and was greeted by a supper friendly host who sat us right away. We got a table outside on the sidewalk as we always prefer outdoor dining when available. The place was very busy especially after we arrived and everything flowed smooth. Food came out fast and hot, coffee refills were constantly offered and we didn't have to wait for the check. read more

Excellent hole in the wall local spot for breakfast. Very friendly staff and the food was perfect. This location is on my rotation of breakfast stops while in key west. Bring cash read more

Just a perfect place to enjoy an awesome breakfast, along with a great morning cocktail and fun music. The service is surprisingly fast for as crowded as the place can get. Would recommend this to anyone looking for a great brunch. Tried to go for dinner as well, but we couldn't make it fit our timetable. Next time! read more

The place itself has a very vintage and dated look to it which looks inviting. The menu options are great American and Mexican options for breakfast. I got the 222 and it was very filling and the French toast was a treat to eat! Must try if you're in the west looking for keys! read more

A wonderful place to go for breakfast in Key West. The kindest, most welcoming restaurant to eat on the island. With excellent food, and the best staff. As a half-crazy person (or, to be more charitable, neurodivergent, plus non-drinking), I don't always feel entirely comfortable in the surreal and inundating fins-up, partying, post-partying, island time sweltering iguanascape of Key West. Especially when having a bad day, or if something has gone wrong. But, the kind, thoughtful, attentive hosts and servers at Harpoon Harry's made me feel welcome, calm, and almost at home. On my first visit, last week, I was dehydrated, poorly rested, and customarily depressed. Even though I showed up glum, shaky and unsure, the two fantastic people at the entrance, at the register, were so nice to me. And to everyone. Even to a man who appeared to be having a much worse day than me, and was being more than a bit abrasive. Their kindness eased whatever troubles were affecting both the abrasive man and also my own depressed and dehydrated self (he left in good spirits, and even superfluously apologized to me). I can't say enough good things about the terrific people at the counter. And everyone else I encountered, the servers, the owner, were also kind. But, hey, what if you're thinking, "I don't give a hoot about how nice these people are -- how's the food, dude?" Good news! The food is excellent. The eggs benedict, always the greatest challenge for restaurants serving breakfast, was superb. The hollandaise tasted like actual hollandaise -- some other, otherwise fine, restaurants will cut some serious corners on the hollandaise (Two Friends Patio, to cruelly single out an egregious example). And adding lobster to the benedict makes a great choice, too. And maybe a tiny mini-pinch of salt in the hollandaise. The eggs and omelets are also great. The toast options include Cuban bread -- which is a great local wrinkle. There are excellent desserts, as well (I had a fine blueberry muffin). Even the grits are very good. Careful attention is given to every element of the food (and all of the staff appears to be equally attentive to keeping the restaurant constantly clean, as well). The service is excellent, attentive, and very efficient. The food arrives amazingly fast, as well (which is an extra plus if your mental eccentricities include great difficulty waiting for things). The air conditioning is winning its battle against Key West heat, as well. Even the music is good (the playlist on my first visit seemed to be themed Emmylou Harris adjacent); it's nice to not have to wear ear buds to block out the normally inescapable 90s/00s rock. I feel bad that, despite the many times I've been to Key West, I'd somehow never been to Harpoon Harry's. I'm looking forward to visiting again, hopefully not too many years from now, and hopefully, they'll still be there, and unchanged. Thank you for being nice to me! read more

Harpoon Harry's is a near-legendary Key West breakfast stop. It seems its been around forever, and is a favorite stop-by for Key Wester and some tourists alike. As it is so popular you may have to wait to be seated. My wait wasn't long and I got a nice outdoor sidewalk, Probably, thanks in part to the fact that my partner knew the owner. The menu of Harpoon Harry's isn't all that impressive. It's pretty much just run of the mill dinner type, but with a few local additions like Key Lime Pie French Toast, Cuban Egg Sandwich, Sea Food Omelet, and Lobster Po'Boy. For my breakfast, I went for the seafood omelet with, according to the menu, lobster and lump crab with hollandaise sauce, However, I didn't find any lump crab in it and what lobster there may have been, it was so skimpy and minuscule as to hardly be noticeable. Otherwise, it was an OK omelet. Partner had an omelet sandwich with hash browns which he said was very good, The fun factor, however, is good. Everyone seems so Key West laid back and friendly, read more

Great food, excellent service, cash-only, but an ATM right in the restaurant !! I had breakfast here on my birthday last year, and it was nice. I recommend it all of the time to our guests, as the hotel I work for is right up the street (NYAH). read more

Food is awesome, the service impeccable a very interesting ambiance. Come and see for yourself!!!

Quick, delicious, and funky. We were sat quickly and waited on promptly. The restaurant is quirky and full of fun stuff to look at. We got biscuits and sausage gravy and the 222 (two pancakes, two eggs, two bacon strips). It was all SCRUMPTIOUS! We were done within 30 minutes of showing up. Heads up, cash only! read more

This place is fantastic for breakfast. We will be back, as this is a staple in KW. It's a great pick me up if you had a bit of a long night. I had Harry's Special which is eggs, ham, sausage and bacon. My wife had the country po-boy (chicken fried steak and eggs with gravy). Both were awesome and I cleaned my plate. read more

Key lime French toast and a vibe! Absolutely incredible service. Loved sitting outside and people/rooster watching. Highly recommend!

Excellent breakfast place! Great atmosphere, and they have everything, and some things you haven't even thought of. I had a wonderful crabcakes Benedict. Everyone in my group loved their food. good service too. read more

Great breakfast selections and the service was excellent. Metered parking across the street

If you are looking for a fun stop and a filling, no frills breakfast, Harpoon Harry's is where you need to land. TAKE CASH because they don't TAKE CARDS. Country Po' Boy was pleasing for my manly man. Two eggs with grits was perfect for me after I passed on the Key Lime French Toast (sounded wonderful but too rich for me that day!) Check out the hurricane pics outside the restrooms. Harpoon Harry's carries on, come hell or high water! Food was great. Ditto for service and history and decor! Love me an experienced old school waitress who knows what you need before you do! read more

This is a must breakfast spot to dine at when you're in Key West. The employees from the host to the servers are very nice and accommodating. The decor is really cool with tons of music collectibles scattered throughout the restaurant. But the food is what makes this a great experience. For libations we had the Mimosa and Bloody Harry (spicy Bloody Mary with just the right amount of kick). For breakfast we had the pork chops and eggs and the Lobster Benedict. The pork chops were cooked to perfection and very juicy. Eggs were prepared as ordered and the fried potatoes were crisp and tasty. Lobster Benedict!! Who knew? It is simply amazing and probably enough for 2 people to share since their portions are huge!!! Seriously, we skipped lunch because we were so full from breakfast. Absolutely loved our experience and will definitely go back, but probably share a meal next visit! read more

I love this place! Food is always consistent! Servers are always on point. My fav breakfast spot to eat at when visiting KW!

We ate there 3 times in 8 days. Figured out where and why the locals eat here. This is great food at a good price. Weekends are busier than most place because the food is quality at reasonable prices. Head's up- cash only read more

I love Harpoons. They service is always friendly and excellent, as is the food. Had crab cake Benedict and breakfast burrito. The portions are hearty. Coffee is good too. Ambiance is fun and colorful. read more

Had a great breakfast. Loved the decor and the Lobster eggs benedict was very good too. Service was the best

Great food! Great price! Super friendly service!! There was a little wait but the line moved pretty fast. The host was so nice, he had such a positive energy. The server was super friendly and courteous also, and fast to get our drinks, orders. The food was sooo delicious. We both got the Harry's Special Breakfast and the home fries are soooooo good. I would totally order an additional side of it. read more

We had no intentions of eating out but we happened by Harry's when there was no wait! There is always a line out the door when we come by. Tip #1 come closer to lunch vs breakfast if you don't want to wait. We were here during Fantasy Fest week which means there are all kinds of fun activities through out the week. This particular day was Tutu Tuesday. Dante's Bar (whose's parking lot is in front of Harry's) They were having a huge "Fourth of July" themed tutu party. I say this because there were open tables outside next to the street. The bonus of today was sitting at Harry's outdoor tables and watching groups of scooters turning into the parking lot to head into Dante's for Tutu Tuesday! Everyone wearing TuTus People watching at it's finest. Thank you Key West, you never disappoint The service was great and friendly! CASH ONLY Popular for: Breakfast Lunch Dinner Solo Dining PARKING : Parking is challenging in Key West We parked in the garage about two blocks from Harpoon Harry's. Cost is $4.00 per hour. There is also paid parking directly across from Harpoon Harry's. A lot of street parking in Key West is "Residential Permit" parking only. It's hard to see sometimes so pay attention! Tip: Save yourself a some time and from standing in the sun trying to figure out the parking machine and running back and forth to feed the machine. Download their parking app. PASSPORT PARKING - Park, Pay, and be on your way. With this app you don't need cash or coins. No need to keep feeding the meter. You will get notifications that your time is running out and can extend your time from where ever you are at! This app allows you to enjoy your time while in Key West. Back to Harpoon Harry's! One of their more popular items on their menu is Key Lime French Toast. Obviously a must have while in the keys. It's what my husband ordered. He had half and saved the rest for latter. He really enjoyed it. I don't normally eat sweets so I could not handle how sweet this dish was. If you are like me, have someone in your party order it and then get a bite of the middle (that includes the key lime pie) One bite will be enough. Harpoon Harry's is full of character. It's quirky, it's colorful, and a total throw back to the good old fashioned dinner days. I wished I would have ordered the pork chops and eggs. I haven't had a pork chop in ages! I some how missed it on the menu. I'll be back to try their good old fashioned diner food. Menu items like some good old fashioned meatloaf, pork chops, turkey and mashed potatoes. With Key West's Historic Seaport only steps away, I suggest a nice leisurely stroll along the water front afterwards. It's a fun place to explore. read more

Loved this little place! The decor is fun, eclectic, and vintage in a very good way. Everywhere you look you find something interesting. The diner is colorfully decorated. Great food and even better service from our waiter Randy! We had the Wednesday night special...a full turkey dinner...white and dark meat covered with gravy, homemade mashed potatoes, stuffing, sweet potato mash, and cranberry relish. Every bite was delicious! I felt like I was eating Thanksgiving dinner in Key West but the home cooked food just hit the spot after all the junk we had eaten all week. I want to try their breakfast soon. I hope sooner than later! I honestly do not know how anyone would not like this diner! We were told a lot of local residents frequent Harry's--always a good sign of good food! read more

Harpoon Harry's - Exterior of restaurant - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Key West, Florida

Honestly, probably one of my favorite Key West restaurants. I mean, breakfast all day? How can you beat that? Not to mention, some of the most realistically priced food around. It's good, it's simple, and that's what makes it great. We went in for dinner and started with the biscuits and gravy. We both ended up getting The Diner Special. Well worth it, we left full and without feeling guilty for eating terribly or spending too much money. Not to mention, the ambiance is terrific. Lots of cute wall art and even throwback A Track tapes by our table which I really appreciated. Most importantly, our server was amazing. It was late but he was filled with energy and walked us through the menu. He made recommendations and even chased us down several blocks when I left my glasses on the table... typical ashley move but he came through to save the day! We loved it so much we are heading back on our last night in Key West! read more

In contrast to what others have posted they were upset they sat under a TV with Fox News on. I'm only giving 4 stars because I sat under the Tv with ESPN. At least no Fake News by CNN.

This no frills "hole in the wall" restaurant currently boasts a fresh caught red snapper special for $13.95 on Friday night. It comes with rice and beans or substitute two other sides like coleslaw or steamed vegetables. This is absolutely the best fresh fish deal in Key West! In addition to the best price, the fish is absolutely scrumptious. Harpoon Harry's is right off the pier where the Key West Express and many other commercial boats dock. You can easily find HH by the orange chairs that accompany the outdoor tables. In addition to the extremely reasonable entrée prices, you will find outstanding homemade cakes displayed on the bar. Just looking at the cakes make my mouth water. My friends are key west locals and they frequently visit here for breakfast and dinner. The service is typical of key west, friendly but on "island time." Expect to wait even if they aren't busy. If you are looking for fresh, homemade items at fair prices, Harpoon Harry's will not disappoint. read more

This is somewhat of a small diner feeling for me at least! This place had amazing food with fast service as well as amazing food!
