Our hotel was just a few blocks away from Mr. Z's, so we decided to give it a try when we had a late-night craving. Their cheesesteak is authentic and piled high with excellent shredded steak and either American cheese or Cheez Whiz. It's greasy, but totally worth it. Every time we passed Mr. Z's, it was very busy (the... more

It was late late on Sunday night and Duval was dead-you could hear a pin drop....thank goodness for Mr Z's, a cheesesteak and a meatball sub kept us from starving! Both were quite good on nice fresh bread. We ordered to go, this is no fancy sit down place but does have some stools to sit on. The guys that... more

We stopped by here very late on a Monday night...nowhere else was serving food and we were starved! Food was fresh and cooked to order. We really loved the cheese fries - perfect french fries with yummy melted white cheese. Soooo good! more

I'm originally from Philadelphia, so whenever I see somewhere that claims to be "Philly-style" I have to try it out. Mr. Z's did not disappoint. They have a variety of hoagies (subs) and cheesesteaks on their menu, at very good prices. They are the same prices I'd pay back home for the same thing, so it was nice to see... more

After being told every restaurant on Duval Street was closed except Mr. Z's, we wandered over for a late night snack. We had the pizza but there were also subs and other items. Good for a late night snack, not for much else. It is a hole in the wall place and the guys that work there are in their... more

The slices are so big you have to fold the over to eat. The staff isn't overly friendly and they only take cash. But the pizza is very good and they Really a good value for Key West (the home of overpriced restaurants). There's no real place to eat inside, so it had better be a to-go order. We'd definitely... more

gotta admit, i was skeptical... a lot of places claim cheesesteaks and pizza like philly, and none of them have lived up. eating pizza here reminded me of south street in philly, or maybe the jersey-boardwalk... either way, it was a hit. my boyfriend ate a cheesesteak, on an amoroso roll, and came back 3 hours later for another. it... more

A friend of mine recommended Mr Z's to us and I'm sure glad we listened. One of the best values on the Island. The cheese steak sandwich is to die for. more

In June and July we visited Mr. Z's several times -- both for dine in (at the counter) and take out. We had cheese steaks, cheese fries, cheese pizza and strombolis. The food is good and the price is right, and the best thing is they're open until 4:00 a.m. We've never called for delivery, but just stopped in on... more

Before heading to Key West for a week, I checked out TripAdvisor to read reviews of various restaurants. Many people had positive things to say about Mr. Z's, so when my boyfriend and I wanted take-out late one night I recommended we order from them. The guy on the phone was extremely rude. We figured they were busy so whatever.... more
