Key West Cheap Eats
 
Where are the best affordable restaurants in Key West? Thanks so much!

Ok, I usually would not recommend anything related to Rachel Ray from the food network, but she did do a $40-a-day segment on the Keys:

Maybe you'll be able to find something helpful from there.

Sandy's Cafe on White Street. Great little Cuban carryout with Cuban sandwiches to die for.

El Siboney for Cuban. Uppercrust for pizza. Mangia Mangia has reasonable pasta. The restaurants down by the docks generally aren't terribly expensive. Pepe's is reasonable. Finnegan's Wake has very good burgers. Jean

About a month ago, the Clintons visited Key West. An order was placed with the Paradise Cafe for some Island Legend Monster sandwiches to feed the Secret Service. They got an extra sandwich. It was put in the refrigerator, where the head sandwich-man himself found it. The word came back that he was quite pleased with it!

The Cafe is at 1000 Eaton St and does a serious locals' trade. When I'm in town, it's my morning stop for a con leche, cuban toast and to read the Citizen. I've had worse morning habits....

I second El Siboney and add Dennis Pharmacy!

I CANT REMEMBER THE NAME OF THE PLACE BUT IT IS JUST DOWN THE ST AND AROUND THE CORNER FROM THE HOGS BREATH SALOON. THE PLACE LOOKS LIKE AN ABANDONED TRAILER WITH SOME PICNIC TABLES OUT FRONT WE HAD SOME OF THE BEST FRIED OYSTERS I'VE EVER TRIED ALONG WITH OUTRAGEOUS KEY LIME MAYO
WORTH TRYING TO FIND....

Load up on coupon flyers from the airport boards. Free drinks and appetizers abound. Also 2 for 1 deals.
