“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!“

“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.“

“Very good food“

“Very nice people and food was great!“

“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“

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

“What a great place for a casual dinner. Though a smash burger place, they will smash it less and make a mid rare burger if you ask!! Served along side THE Best fries in all of Pensacola, twice fried fresh cut fries done perfectly crispy and taste wonderful. Consistently good food all four visits which says a lot. Nice work Sammy Barker team, thank you and see you again soon.“

“All the food was 5 star! Salad bar was the freshest I've ever seen and all was delicious. The entrees my party ordered were equally good. Our server, Amanda, was so friendly and helpful. We're here vacationing from TX and we're already planning to visit this Ruby Tuesdays again, before we go back home. Can't ask for better service and food!“

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

“Excellent service and the food was unbelievably delicious! Our server Clay was phenominal“

“Casual atmosphere .. good music… Friendly servers“

“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 love First Watch on 9 mile road and, the service I received from "Taylor" was bar none, the best!! I love the blueberry multi grain pancakes but recently I tried the breakfast burrito and it was AMAZING! Definitely recommend this place!“

“Foosacklys on nine mile has been the greatest tender experience I’ve ever had. Prices have been consistently cheaper than any other tender spot in Pensacola, the chicken is the appropriate size, and the flavor is spot on as to what I expect from a chicken tender.

Being from Ocala area, I dream of traveling to Pensacola for this chicken. The ranch and foo sauce are absolutely perfect to pair with the chicken. I’ve paid extra to bring their sauces home.

The service at this store is off the chain. Every experience I’ve had at this store, the employees are friendly and prepare the food ASAP. I’ve never waited longer than 5 minutes for my food.

Foosacklys nine mile, I love you.“

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

“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 🩵“

“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!“

“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“

“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!“

“We ordered a pizza and there was a topping that was too spicy and we thought it had olives on it. They immediately made us another pizza and it was delicious. Being the end of the day they they gave us a piece of cake they couldn’t have out in front. Always friendly and curtesy staff.“

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

“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“

“Honestly, this might've been the best experience at a chain restaurant experience I've had in awhile. Our server, Savannah, was amazing, always checking in on us and just super friendly in general. I got the spasagna, which was actually peak. I've never tried something like that, but I'd gladly have it again. The only thing I have to mention that could be improved about the food was that the person that I was sitting with got a steak (I think it was the sirloin, I can't remember), said that it was really good, but it was a bit skinny. All in all, if I ever come back to Pensacola, I'd definitely come back here again.“

“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!“

“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!“

“Wonderful, friendly service. Carmen is fantastic and FAST!

IHOP CORPORATE- why are you charging over 5 bucks for 3 grapes, 3 pineapple, 3 honeydew, 3 strawberries????? This is an outrageous cost on this. Your sides are incredibly over priced. Someone with some authority---please lower fruit prices.“

“GREAT !! THE appetizers came out quickly. The chicken wings and mini spicys were delicious. The main meals were equally delicious and reasonably quick to be served. We had a newbie in stroller along and the staff was super accommodating.“

“Excellent waitress. Extremely nice manager“

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

“Great food clean inside hot food friendly staff“

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

“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.“

“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.“

“Where to begin. Your server Sam is phenomenal. She knows the menu and has no problem with helping my father choose something to his liking. My father is a bit rude at times and can every difficult, but that didn't stop Ms.Sam from being so nice, polite, and attentive to us. If I still had my restaurant open I would most definitely offer her a higher position. Her attitude under pressure is something you don't see to often. She kept a smile on her face. The food was good but the service was even better. Thank you Sam for all you did for us and making sure my Father was satisfied. Your awesome Sweety.“

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

“I just wondered in from having dinner at another restaurant. Just wanted to relax and have a couple of beers. I really enjoyed myself. It was a Monday afternoon. The bartenders were so nice and and friendly. Had great conversations with them. Thank you guys for being so professional.“

“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“

“I grew up eating at Captain D's and Arthur Treachers. Only one left so when I get the craving for that childhood meal that I was so fond of I head to Captain D's. Here in Pensacola we are surrounded by fantastic seafood restaurants but ever now and then I need my fix of that battered flaky white golden deep fried fish.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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“

“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!“

“IHOP in Sarasota, FL. The food was great and our server Meghan was excellent. She promptly refilled our drinks and checked on us frequently to make sure we had everything we needed.“
