Goldman's Deli — Restaurant in Key West

I have loved this ❤️ place since 2004 when I moved back here from Boca Raton. I have never had a BAD meal here ever no matter what meal lunch/breakfast. The early bird special is by far the best deal on the island and with the customer service from host to cooks to busboys to Wait Staff,, You will be by far completely satisfied with everything n everyone. As a local I eat breakfast 2 to 5 times a week or lunch n I'll let you know. When you walk out of the door. You literally feel like you have been to a family members for a meal with a full tummy n a smile from all the employees and even from the locals that welcome you with open arms and conversation. Here is probably the one place that locals make u feel as if u were home instead of starring at ya making you feel uncomfortable. Yes early bird special is everyday before 10 am n ask any local,, 10 am is very early after spending the night out dancing with our family and friends. So tourists don't be scared to go over there in Winn Dixie shopping center and they will have a line with a waiting list. Trust me. It might look bad as u pull in but them girls and guys know how to pull the lines in. So hang out side for a few minutes and catch up on the night before cause u will b eating delicious Fresh Food Cooked to your very Specifications Every time you order. This ain't IHOP or Denny's or McDonald's,, You are at Goldman's Deli and once you get in and eat and walk out the door afterwards. You will know the very reason and difference and you will never go back to those corporate owned restaurants again. I guarantee you will become a part of the Goldman's Deli Family. Also go there hungry because they don't measure out quantity of food on a real dinner platter. They hook you up with measurements of Excellence in Quality of food on A Real Dinner Platter. The freshest Melt in your mouth Bagels,, made in house fresh every morning and matzo soup to the largest,, fluffiest,, delicious pancakes and when u ask for an order of The Freshest CornBeef Hash --+--: oooooo by goodness (( hang on to Your Belt Buckles )) you get The Largest order of the freshest Hash anywhere.( Literally a Platter Full) I guess what I'm trying to say is that you have to go through this Deli, that is family local owned and operated, and get a seat only one time and you will be hooked. All others have failed in all aspects of quality, Quantity, freshness, and customer service and let's not forget CLEANLINESS. THIS PLACE IS SPOT ON HOME FEEL CLEAN. Give it a shot. Your family and friends will become your Besties afterwards. Then go fish n Beach all day,, I know with All my heart and soul,, that you will enjoy your time in Keywest with Goldman's on your mind. PEACE n Enjoy!!!!!!!

Goldman's Deli in Key West is a hidden gem that absolutely delivers on flavor, service, and that old-school deli charm. Nestled in a quiet corner of a shopping plaza, this place feels like a slice of New York tucked into the tropics.

From the moment you walk in, you're greeted with warm smiles and the kind of hospitality that makes you feel like a regular—even if it’s your first visit. The staff are attentive, fast, and genuinely kind, often going out of their way to accommodate dietary preferences or just brighten your day.

The food? Phenomenal. Their boiled-and-baked bagels are the real deal—crispy on the outside, chewy on the inside, and perfect with a generous schmear of cream cheese or piled high with lox. The breakfast sandwiches are hearty and flavorful, and the omelets are cooked to perfection. Don’t sleep on the Challah French Toast or the Corned Beef Hash either—both are crowd favorites for a reason.

Portions are generous, prices are fair, and the vibe is laid-back Key West with a deli soul. Whether you're grabbing a quick bite before hitting the beach or settling in for a leisurely brunch, Goldman's hits the...

Had a terrible experience with my waitress, originally recieved undercooked bacon, I politely sent it back and asked if they can cook it longer as in just make it crispy and they said ok burn it. I laughed taking as a joke because I thought nothing of it. 1 waiter brought me another plate of bacon less cooked than previous. She walked up to us with correct bacon plate and I gave her the other undercooked bacon said the other waiter brought this one think8ng nothing of it and all of a sudden she snaps at me and my wife saying eat it don't eat I don't care what you do with it. I was in disbelief and we said excuse me ? There was no need for that as there was no attitude. Then another waiter starts chiming in with an attitude being condescending while waiting another table was snickering and continued making comments loud and my wife stated there was no need for that and he said It's only food. Which apparently they could not get it right. I saw groups of customer's leaving stating they were never coming back. I should have taken that as a hint. The attitude here is crazy. I myself have no intentions on returning to...
