“Found this place online when looking for something close to hotel. 2 miles away. Great find. Don't go if you don't like fried food. Had Fried Wings with Fries. Also had fired pickles. Great visit.“

“Today was my first time going and I absolutely loved the energy! I got some Teriyaki wings and my boyfriend got a burger that he couldn’t even finish lOl . My waitress name was Rebecca, she was very kind and polite ❤️ The manager stopped by before we left and gave us a little back ground on the restaurant. That fact that he took the time as busy as it was very sweet . Outstanding place ! Wish I could give more stars . Will be returning soon!“

“Very good food“

“Great food. I love this place. Staff is the best. It’s my go to restaurant. Great place for a cup of hot chocolate or if you’re a coffee drinker that too. Still trying different things on the menus and haven’t had anything I did not totally enjoy. When my family and friends come to visit this is where I’ll take them for sure ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“I have nothing but great things to say about the food and service! Everything is fantastic from the minute you walk in the door.“

“Ever since I discovered this place I’ve been WEEKLY, it’s becoming an unhealthy addiction but I can’t stop🤣. I go to the Pace location and now when I go in the workers recognize me and are SO WONDERFUL (love my girl Madison) Everything is made fresh to order and takes just as good each time. Y’all have a customer for life 🩵“

“I'm a Cane's fan...but Foosackly's gets the nod from me. Although the tenders were smaller than Cane's, they were more flavorful, you get more for less, a variety of sauces....and a whole slice of Texas toast 😉. #Delish 😋

Last but not least...the staff was very welcoming, helpful and attentive. Service was quick and food was hot and fresh🫡🫡🫡 I'll be back...“

“Very nice people and food was great!“

“Other fast foods don’t compare to this place. It’s slightly more expensive, but you definitely get your moneys worth. Even when they are packed to the brim with customers, they’ll never mess up your order. The employees are also super nice. 10/10“

“We live 3 minutes from our nearest Cracker Barrel but choose to drive 35 miles to the I 10 - Pine Forest Road location in Florida. The food is better, meeting our expectations, the people are friendlier, particularly Cleo who always remembers us and is warm, joyful and welcoming. The servers we've had are much better here and our experience with Anna is always great. My wife loves shopping here. This store is just run better, the way one would expect of Cracker Barrel. Steve and Barbara Martin“

“Friendly locals place that treats its non locals very well, good atmosphere from the staff who work hard and fast, good breakfast“

“We were pleasantly surprised to find The Bistro in our hotel. The burger and fries were as good, if not better than most restaurants. After driving all day it made our day being able to enjoy good food and a beer without having to leave the hotel.“

“I am super happy now, after moving down here and realisable a new culvers popped up down the street from my apartment, I was super ecstatic. Every states culvers i've ever been to has gotten my order right the first time, food is always fantastic and tastes the same (unlike other chains where you feel like some days its just not comparable). My burger was amazing, and my favorite the Salted Caramel shake was left without a drop remaining. If you gotta get fast food.....dont look anywhere else. Seriously, go here..period.“

“Soup and salad bar for lunch was $9.99 today (Wednesday). Quality and freshness were good, lots of new stuff I didn't see on the salad bar six months ago. Broccoli and cheese, loaded baked potato were the soups, and they were both very good. Perfect for when you need a break from excessive indulgence in seafood and BBQ restaurants. Our server was very nice, too.“

“Lots of variety on the menu. Food is good and employees helpful and friendly. Nice dine inside experience. Love the frozen custard.“

“Love this local spot and the folks that run it! They've always had a great selection of flavor and quality from drinks to food. The atmosphere feels comforting w the carnival theme and industrial vibes. I can't do gluten but they have a non bread fryer.. for tots and wings etc.“

“Cole was awesome! Def would come back again for his service.“

“We’re from Florida, now living in Alabama. There are no Sonny’s BBQ here and we sure miss them. Last weekend we took an end of summer weekend trip to Pensacola. There was a Sonny’s across from our hotel room. Needless to say that’s where we ate dinner and boy did we enjoy it! The food was hot, fresh and just as delicious as we remembered. Our server was extremely friendly and I wish I could remember her name (this would have been on Sunday night, July 30. We were the party of five, three grandkids, my daughter and me). Well, Sonny’s had a big impact on my granddaughter for sure as you can tell by her picture and what she wrote on her “what I did this summer” page attached hereto. She can’t wait to come back to have the best ribs she ever tasted!“

“The waitress 👩 are friendly, nice 👍🏾, and professional.“

“Voodoo Q is the best kept secret In Pensacola. I lived near here for a couple of years and ate here frequently. Their seasonings are true to The culture and true to each named flavor. Come on Folks! It’s Mardi Gras season until midnight next Tues. then, we have Ash Wednesday which will be a fast day with no meat Voodoo’s shrimp and catfish are wonderful! Let the Good Times Roll! U In“

“Stopped by Cheddar's Scratch Kitchen for dinner and had a pretty good experience overall. The bacon burger was really tasty and cooked just right, and the bacon added a nice crunch. The kids tenders were also a ok, the broccoli casserole was cold

Service was good and the restaurant was clean, although it took a little longer than expected to get our food. Nothing too bad, but it's the only reason I'm giving 4 stars instead of 5. We'd still definitely come back and try some other items on the menu.“

“Mrs Jackie was the best part of our visit! Joyful, beautiful and very on top of her business! We hadn’t ever been to this ihop- and she made it so this will be our number one choice for breakfast outings.

The food was fantastic- eggs poached just the way I requested- I truly cannot say enough about this mornings visit but I had a phenomenal visit! Leavings super full and with a smile on my face! Thank you“

“Great staff, food was fast and good. Place is clean.“

“This is for the waffle house on 9 mile behind the cvs. This is the best one I've visited in the Pensacola area. The food is always good, the service is great, and it's very clean. I would definitely recommend this waffle house to anyone“

“Excellent waitress. Extremely nice manager“

“Beware: Quality/Freshness. I ordered (2) 3 mix and match. Two chicken salad sandwiches on Crossiants w/fruit and Two chicken salad sandwiches on Crossiants w/pasta salad. Well, the crossiants were hard, thick, tough to chew and the lettuce wasn't crispy. We took everything off the crossiants except the lettuce and put it on white bread to eat. Now I've patronize Newts for many many years and I've never been disappointed in the taste or quality of the food---so I'm gonna assume that due to the hurricane and the amount of power that had to be restored around Pensacola was probably the cause for this!! So I will be returning in a few months with the expectations of receiving the great quality and delicious food that I know Newts is capable of.“

“Everything I've ordered from this location has been great.“

“Josey C., our waitress, made us feel welcome from the moment we made eye contact. Elders and teen alike enjoyed the family vibe. We had oyster, shrimp, coleslaw and turnip greens with hush puppies. The service and food were impeccable. 10 out of 10!“

“We ate there today. Food and drink fine. I found that the rest room had two five second bursts available to dry my hands. No further allowable ways to dry my hands except toilet paper. Won't come back.“

“I’m gluten free and this is a go to safe spot for my husband and I. The staff here are so friendly and attentive. They are some of the best servers I have met, and I’ve never had an issue being glutened because they are really good with labelling allergies.“

“Great food clean inside hot food friendly staff“

“I ordered mushrooms for my ribeye and received 7 mushrooms which I thought was ridiculous for the price. I will NOT order them again as I felt it was a rip off. Don't downsize on steak accessories and brag about how great it is to eat at Longhorns“

“Fresh delicious food, helpful staff and fun atmosphere! 🍕 😋“

“Nice little upscale cafe. Food and coffee are freshly prepared and service is good.“

“Had an excellent first time visit to Miller's Ale House. Wow, the food was great. Server, Ron, was amazing and so was his trainee, Tia. Very attentive. Alec, the manager, came by to check on us to make sure everything was good, and it sure was! Nothing but good things to say. We'll be back!“

“Thank you Cook Out Team for having yummy affordable food. I’m so grateful that i don’t have to go to Taco Bell and spend $38 on literally one meal and couple of sides.Your Walkin Tago is so perfectly made and your cheerwine float brings me back happy memories when times weren’t so hard. Your staff is excellent and I’m so thankful you came to Pensacola!“

“A Waffle House in the middle morning is a beautiful place to be. Not too busy, no late night craziness going on and you get to enjoy your meal in peace. I had a chicken and eggs plate with hash browns and wheat toast. The Mrs. Ordered a waffle from the Jr or Sr menu with bacon and coffee. I shared a perfectly cooked over easy egg and she was happy. Service was quick and engaging. Even the cook got into the conversation. I wanted a shirt like he was wearing. IYKYK. At the end of the day it's what you would expect from a Waffle House. I liked the new to us menu selections. Great job everyone.“

“I went to go pick up two plates for my boyfriend and I. The service was quick and easy. The staff was very friendly and let me sample one of the chicken I was interested in. The price is very reasonable for the amount of food they give you. Everything was hot and fresh still by the time I got home.“

“Hands down the best service that we have seen in a very long time. If you could take the awesome service and friendly people that are in the Pensacola store and bottle it for other food chains to learn from you would make a mint! The food was spot on! 8090 N Davis Hwy Pensacola“

“Tonight my family and I stopped in for dinner. It was a little while before someone came by our table but when we did see a server we found that he was brought in because the bartender and 2 servers walked out right after we were seated. Aside from that we had phenomenal service and all the employees and the manager kept their cool even with the inconvenience they f the walk outs. Having worked in hospitality myself I know how rude people can get in these situations. I applaud the staff.“

“Typical Captain D's, but the staff is awesome. Brought my 93 year old dad to eat and he had multiple gift cards. Marie and Lindsey were working and they were very patient with him, trying each of his cards to see which one still had money applied to it. Food was hot and fast.“

“Excellent! We sat in the bar area and they were very busy but the lady bartender was right on everything and very fast and friendly“

“I have been going to Miguel’s since I was a kid and it’s always been my favorite Mexican in Pensacola! I would recommend it to anyone, that’s why I left a “would recommend” review. I don’t want the positive rating to do down, but I do think the owner/manager should be aware of their restaurant today. I’m in town this week so we decided to grab lunch at Miguel’s. The food was as amazing as I remember, but the service was not so great. To be fair, the restaurant was extremely busy and we only saw two servers working. I think they were trying to do the best they could to keep up. However, after our food was delivered, we didn’t see our server for at least 30 min. I then asked the other server for to go chips, boxes and a dessert and it seemed like we were being a nuisance. Our server made it to the table with our dessert about 20 minutes later and said they had been slammed with call in to go orders. We got our to go boxes and I asked again for chips. She quickly took the bill back to add $1.25 for chips. Here is my opinion: first, don’t leave your tables alone for that long without acknowledging them. Secondly, if you are that busy in the restaurant and can’t keep up, maybe let callers know you aren’t able to take to go orders at the moment. Lastly, I honestly don’t care about paying $1.25 for a bag of chips, but when your customers have been sitting for two hours and were never even offered a drink refill, maybe throw in the chips at no charge.“

“The food was cooked to our specifications. We went there for Father’s Day and was not dissapointed. Our server, Jamie was very professional. She did a great job!“
