    Tuesday evening
    Pat C.

    Walked in on a Tuesday evening. Got seated right away. Chicken kebab and combo kebab were good. Meat was tender and flavorful but the vegetables were soggy. Giving it 4/5.

    Soggy baklava

    I went to Kennedy cafe on a whim tonight because my partner and I wanted to try something new. I ordered the falafel wrap and my partner ordered the chicken Shawarma. We split the wraps in half and shared, they were both good but the chicken Shawarma was better! I will say the chicken was a little fatty though. We decided to order 2 baklavas to go, unfortunately, which is my fault ...I didn't check the price of the baklava and they are eight dollars each!!! The baklava are pretty big for one portion, so I now understand the price, however, the baklava was incredibly soggy and didn't have the best flavor. The service workers were very nice and the ambience was fine.

    Great service even at night we brought a group over and everyone was pleased with variety. Vladimir was exceptional!

    Falafel
    Samantha B.

    I stopped by for lunch one Saturday and walked in to a kind of dark restaurant with only a few patrons sitting and eating. The restaurant wasn't very attractive so I decided to take my order to go. I ordered the falafel platter not really knowing what it would come with. After a normal wait time my order was ready and I was out the door! I opened my takeout box in the car and was so excited! The falafel came with rice, a pico salsa, seasoned potatoes, tzatziki and pita bread. Everything tasted so fresh and delicious. I really enjoyed this meal and will certainly be back.

    Uzbek Pilaf
    Adriana F.

    We arrived and the place was almost empty. In a matter of 15 minutes was packed. Great place for simple comfort food and good prices for Key West. Our server, Carolina, who was wearing many hats that evening, was fantastic. Very energetic, as she was the only one serving the multitude of people, with great disposition, very simpatica and helpful. We shared Uzbek Pilaf and salad. I was extremely surprised to see the Palov on the menu. The only time I had this delicious dish was when my friend Jenya, who is Russian, made it. It was really good, it could use garlic cloves. The salad was fresh and refreshing If I was living in Key West I would be a regular at this restaurant.

    Chicken gyro

    The service was nice, very calm and vibrant place for a friday night. I thought the portion of chicken and potatoes was kind of small but other than that the food was flavorful!

    Lamb Samsa !

    Consistency and the people! I can always taste the care in your food. The SAMSA are my favorite by far! I have never had such a good Samsa and it blows my mind every time....ok I'm off my soap box Delivery driver Tim is pretty awesome too! Go Knicks BING BONG!

    Regular gyro & fries. And chicken gyro & fries in back.

    We arrived into Key West mid afternoon, so we stopped by here for a late lunch. It's a local place in a small strip mall not far from where we were staying. Friendly greetings as we entered, sit wherever you want. Menu is large from Italian American to Greek/Mediterranean. We kept it pretty basic, got the regular gyro and the chicken gyro with fries. Even though its listed separately on the menu, they advised there's no difference in the chicken gyro and the chicken donor. It mainly applies to the lamb meat. You're welcome. Food came out quickly with a smile, nice looking honker of a gyro & fries. Was pretty tasty, lots of meat, plenty of filling, delicious tzatziki and darn good fries. Great lunch! Service was nice & friendly, prices were ok, glad we stopped by! I would come back again the next time I'm in town.

    Veggie and meat omelet

    This little cafe was recommended to us by our jet ski tour guide across the street at Ibis Bay! Great locals joint if you are not in it for the foo foo stuff and just want some good food. Came here for breakfast after catching the red eye to Fort Lauderdale and landed at 2am and just rented a car and drove to Key West. After sleeping in the car for a couple hours we wanted a big breakfast to start ourselves off. This restaurant had great food, big portions, and the prices were very reasonable. The location is a little hidden in a strip mall right on the end. Just your simple diner that has a little bit of everything. Service was also great.

    The pizza is perfect!!

    Clemente's Trolley Pizzeria…read more Now listen here, I don't always spill all me secrets... sometimes you keep a little treasure tucked away, yeah? But this one ehh, it's too good not to whisper about. If you find yourself driftin' through Key West and that pizza craving hits step on in, grab yourself a hot pie... and den grab one more fi later. Trust me on dat. Midnight come creepin', maybe after a drink or two, maybe just that snack callin' your name you gon' be real glad you did. We tore through one like hungry sailors and still had another waitin' in the wings. Plenty options, plenty flavor, and nothin' wrong with sharin'... if you feel generous, of course. Service? Smooth like island breeze. Location? Easy, no fuss. Vibe? Eh, not gonna knock you over more middle tide than high wave but the pizza, yeah mon... it delivers where it counts. Go on now eat one, stash one. You'll thank yourself later.

    I wish I had taken pics, but we were hungry and ready to eat. We were told it would be a 40 minute…read morewait and it wasn't half of that. We were able to be seated and got our food quickly. The drinks were flowing and the pizza was on point. Our mission was to get Keylime pie at every stop, but we forgot to get it so we went back the next day and ordered key lime cannolis. These are a must for all visitors. I can't speak highly enough for the food and servers.

I forgot to take a photo of their cold brew process that was being done in the morning, but it was fascinating to watch. The process looked painstakingly slow, yet very cool and worth seeing. After a long day of walking and sightseeing, a small afternoon coffee break was much needed. We ordered iced coffee along with a slice of honey cake. The cake was moist, not overly sweet, and paired perfectly with either iced or hot coffee. The only downside was the service toward the end of our visit. Since they were preparing to close, the staff had already started putting things away and cleaning while customers were still seated and eating or drinking. Personally, I think cleaning should begin after closing time rather than while guests are still trying to enjoy their experience. Overall, I'd definitely come back for the honey cake and would love to try their cold brew next time.
