Summer is one of my favorite times to eat around Key West. Every year, restaurants across the island roll out Key West summer dining specials featuring brunch deals, happy hours, seasonal menus, and limited-time promotions that make it easier to enjoy great food while spending a little less.
Whether you’re a local or visiting the island, these Key West summer dining specials are open to everyone and offer plenty of reasons to try someplace new.
I’ll keep updating this list as restaurants announce more specials throughout the season.
Looking for deals for locals? Check my Key West Local Dining Specials guide instead.
Good to know: Dates and offers can change quickly, and not every restaurant does a great job announcing updates. It’s always worth double-checking before heading out.
Garbo’s Grill
Garbo’s added a Taco Tuesday for August and September: street tacos at $4 each, and you are able to mix and match.
Four preparations to choose from on the list: Korean BBQ, Yum Yum Shrimp, Cayo Fish, and Classic Ground Beef with cheese and pico. Beginning Tuesday, August 4.
Nine One Five
Nine One Five launched its Summer Happy Hour on July 6, upstairs at the Point 5 lounge.
Every day from 5-7 pm and again from 10-11 pm, everything on the happy hour menu is $10: food, handcrafted cocktails, and wines by the glass.
Tuna tacos, pork tostada, and arancini share the list with cocktails like the Disco Tomato and A Touch of Tajin. The full menu is also available 5-11 pm.
Bagatelle
Summer Sunday Brunch is here at Bagatelle!
Stop by every Sunday from 11 am–2 pm for their Beats & Brunch special.
Enjoy bottomless mimosas and Bloody Marys, a rotating chef-inspired small plate menu, and music from some of Key West’s top DJs.
The regular brunch menu is still available from 9 am–4 pm, and the Hangover Happy Hour continues from 9–11 am.
Fishwife Restaurant & Raw Bar
Fishwife is the new sister restaurant of The Docks on Stock Island, now on Petronia Street.
If you know The Docks, you already have a sense of what to expect: fresh seafood, a raw bar, and a kitchen that takes the food seriously.
Their Local Summer Happy Hour runs daily from 3–5 pm with $4 select beers, $5 wines, $12 cocktails, and half-off shared plates.
The shared plates list includes coconut lobster bites, lobster rangoon dip, and disco fries with oyster gravy. Many of these are worth paying attention to.
Little Pearl
Little Pearl is running an early seating deal this summer that’s hard to beat.
Open Mon–Sat, the restaurant offers three dinner seatings.
Grab the 5 pm seating and enjoy a four-course dinner for $65 per person.
The Saint Hotel
Sunday Brunch is on special at The Saint Hotel.
Two hours of small plates and brunch favorites.
This brunch normally runs $55 per person, but this summer you can get it for just $40. Add bottomless mimosas or Bloody Marys for $15 more.
Reservations are recommended. Call 305-294-3200 to reserve your spot.
La Te Da
La Te Da is running 30% off the dinner menu Monday through Thursday, 6 to 10 PM, through September.
Nightly specials are excluded.
Whether planning a weekday dinner with friends, family, or a date night, La Te Da’s summer dinner discount offers excellent value for being on Duval.
White Tarpon
White Tarpon has made its happy hour better for the summer. Small plates are 50% off during happy hour, daily from 3 to 5:30 pm.
That puts conch fritters and cracked conch at $7.50, chicken wings at $8, and coconut shrimp, smoked fish dip, Caribbean nachos, or the Tarpon mussels at $9. Peel-and-eat shrimp is $8 for a half pound and $14 for a full pound.
Domestics, house wines, and spirits are also 50% off. The featured ceviche and the menu cocktails are excluded from both halves of the deal.
The Bent Prop (Cudjoe)
The Bent Prop Bar and Grill is running a “Summer Survivor” $20 dinner entrée special with six rotating choices, available everyday in September and October.
The post says all of September but the flyer says September & October.
It is still a good value at this waterfront restaurant up the road.
Rams Head Southernmost
Rams Head Southernmost has several summer specials worth checking out.
Mon–Fri from 8–10 am, the $10 Early Bird Breakfast comes with complimentary coffee and a BOGO mimosa option. Choose from two eggs, a ham-and-cheese omelet, an egg-and-cheese croissant, chorizo-egg tacos, or French toast. No substitutions or modifications.
Sunday nights mean Burger Night. After 5 pm, grab half-priced burgers and $4 drafts. A cheeseburger and a cold beer in Bahama Village? Sounds pretty good to me.
Tuesdays feature $3 off tacos and $5 margaritas after 5 pm. Choose from shrimp, chicken, or pork tacos. Tuesdays are just better with tacos.
First Flight Restaurant & Brewery
First Flight is jumping into Taco Tuesday this summer with $5 street tacos and $5 margaritas every Tuesday from noon–10 pm.
Three options: classic ground beef with pico, chipotle crema, and cabbage slaw; bang bang fried shrimp with pico, Thai chili slaw, and sriracha aioli; or mojo pork with chimi-rojo relish, pico, and cabbage slaw.
Sides of rice and beans or coleslaw are $5 each.
Sundays from 4–6 pm are Family Sunday Funday: kids eat free, happy hour specials throughout the restaurant for the adults, live music, and activities from local artists and vendors.
Meatloaf is the special on Monday from noon until close.
On Wednesday, enjoy that longer hump day happy hour from noon until 7 pm. Dine in only at any seat.
Pepe’s Cafe
Pepe’s is running Breakfast, Lunch, and Dinner specials for $19.95 this summer, and each one comes with a drink.
Breakfast is your pick of two eggs any style with bacon and toast, a ham and cheese omelette, or pancakes, plus a mimosa, coffee, or soda.
Lunch gets you a blackened mahi-mahi sandwich, pulled pork sandwich, or Pepe’s cheeseburger with German fries, a slice of key lime pie, and a margarita, 16 oz Yuengling draft, or soda.
Dinner is the blackened mahi sandwich, an 8 oz New York strip, or a single pork chop with a side, key lime pie, and a margarita, Yuengling, or house wine.
Two more changes worth knowing: happy hour is now extended to 1–6 pm, with half-price raw and baked oysters the whole window; the full rundown is in the 88-cent oysters at Pepe’s post. And they’re taking weekday breakfast reservations.
Martin’s
Martin’s is one of those places that has a line outside for good reason. The small bites during happy hour are excellent, the dinner menu is extensive, and the bar is small, fun, and can get lively.
Through September they’re running 20% off the entire food menu plus 30% off bottles of wine. It can’t be combined with happy hour, and they run two of those daily: 5–6 PM and 9:30–10:30 PM.
Check my Key West Happy Hour Food Guide for what’s discounted in those windows.
Onlywood Grill, Onlywood Pizzeria Trattoria, & SM Onlywood
Wine lovers will appreciate this one.
Onlywood has three locations around Key West: the Pizzeria Trattoria on Duval, the Grill on Caroline Street, and SM Onlywood on Simonton.
All three are running the same summer wine special: 50% off bottles priced up to $100, Sun–Thu.
It can’t be combined with other offers, but at half price on a $100 bottle, you probably won’t mind.
Sunset Pier
Great views, drinks, and savings? Count me in.
Wind down your afternoons at Sunset Pier with their Summer Happy Hour.
Take 25% off food and drinks from 4–6 pm at the bar.
Two Friends Patio Restaurant
Two Friends has its own $19.95 summer deal, and every version ends with key lime pie.
Breakfast is pancakes, a ham and cheese omelette with potatoes, or two eggs any style with bacon, toast, and potatoes, plus a mimosa, juice, or coffee.
Lunch and dinner run the same $19.95 menu: bacon cheddar burger with fries, chicken or shrimp Caesar salad, fried mahi-mahi with fries, a churrasco steak, or Cajun shrimp pasta, with a piña colada, domestic beer bottle, or house wine.
Every version of the deal, breakfast through dinner, ends with a slice of key lime pie. It’s included, not an add-on.
Ocean Grill & Bar
Located in Duval Square, Ocean Grill & Bar has a couple of summer deals worth knowing about.
During brunch, bottomless mimosas and Bloody Marys run just $8.95. That’s a pretty great deal if you ask me. Brunch is served daily from 10 am–3 pm.
From 4 pm until close, bottomless wine by the glass is $14.95. Happy hour also features bottomless sangria or wine from 4:30–6:30 pm.
Between the specials, free parking, and the large menu, Ocean Grill is worth keeping on your radar this summer.
Expired: No Longer Active
Salute! on the Beach
ran its Summer Special this year at 25% off select plates from 5 to 7 PM, if seated between 5 and 7. It ran through the summer and ended when they closed for the season on August 23.
Azur
ran a summer breakfast drink special, half off Bloody Marys and Mimosas from 9 to 11 AM. It ended August 30.
Cafe Sole
For a limited time Cafe Sole had all food available for 50% off prior to their break.
More Key West Summer Dining Specials Are Coming
Summer is a great time to explore Key West restaurants. From brunch deals and happy hours to wine specials and multi-course dinners, the slow season stretches a dining budget further than any other time of year.
I’ll continue updating this list as more restaurants announce their summer specials, so check back throughout the season.
