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!“

“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 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“The whole crew were incredible. Paula brought us our food with the biggest smile. She absolutely made my day after a long flight. 100% the best Culver's experience I have ever had. Thank Paula and team for the excellent service!!!! 100 out of 10“

“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.“

“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 🩵“

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

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

“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“

“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.“

“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.“

“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“

“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.“

“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“

“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!“

“Melisa was an amazing waitress! She was friendly, attentive, and made sure we had everything we needed throughout our meal. Our drinks stayed full, the service was quick, and she made the whole experience feel welcoming. Definitely one of the best servers I’ve had at IHOP!“

“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.“

“Excellent waitress. Extremely nice manager“

“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!“

“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.“

“Me and my GF wife were looking for a place to eat while at the mall and we cannot recommend this place enough!! The food was fantastic and our server (Donald) was an absolute godsend. If you’re in the area and looking for a place to eat then look no further!!“

“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.“

“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.“

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

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

“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!“

“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“

“Haven’t been here for years due to visits of awful cold rubber food I couldn’t/wouldn’t eat, employees with no care, I really do not want to be here, you are a burden bad attitudes; nasty looking dining area as employees apparently weren’t required to clean it, totally shocked the place was still in existence, all ended it for me so I thought …. I decided to try them again 3 days ago and WOW what a HUGE difference! Food tastes fresh and delicious, down to the amazing bread stick, & back to the great tea, kind employees, bright clean atmosphere to where I’ve now visited 3 days in a row, two inside dining and one time drive-thru. So excited it’s back! Everything was perfect all three visits! If you haven’t been in a long time due to whatever was happening with this place, try it again as you’ll be happy you did and hopefully like me, become a fan again.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“
