“"Believe me the very next time our SnowBird relatives and friends come to visit/vacation Shaggy's Bar/Grill Restaurant definitely will be the only recommended place on the Beach to wine and dine. An Awesome place to eat. Fabulous place on the water over looking Inlet, delicious Food and our waitress KATIE was so tentative, helpful, warm and friendly with a DO COME BACK Atmosphere she Created. The upstairs Outdoors atmosphere and Vibes are awesome, we started off with the Seafood Fries, for our Main meal was the Captain's Platter for 2, was such a large portion we still had to ask for a carryout. My wife and I were celebrating our 52nd Anniversary, her 76th birthday and my 79th birthday on 16th of February. The Manager was Extremely Welcoming and Super Nice. Once KATIE found out we were Celebrating Our Birthdays and Anniversary She Gifted us each with slices of Fantastic Tasting Red Velvet Cake. The Food was delivered fast and Hot!

“When I was younger this was the place to get your first bushwacker. It has amazing music the atmosphere is great but I don't think they serve food. There's a great Hooters right next door and tons of other places on the boardwalk to eat. Tons of different frozen drinks though :-)“

“Great service considering the level of business in downtown during peak times. Excellent customer service by the bartenders. Super friendly. Bartenders ensure customers are drinking water when they feel it is necessary.“

This was by far the best dining experience I have had in a while. Props to him for making his customers feel special. He made great recommendations. Thank you Akil B for a great night. Will definitely be back.“

“Amazing place. Need to come in and have lunch or drinks in the evening. Beautiful view of the beach and ocean. Great people and amazing service.“

“Nice atmosphere and good service. We didn't order any food so I can't comment on that but there is 18% gratuity added to all checks. If I hadn't looked at the menu we never would have known and probably double tipped.. maybe that is the point? Should really make it more“

“the bartender was awesome the food was great our waiter was extremely nice however there is no reason that a man spends $140 on a great meal and has a great time only for his fiance to be disrespected by a guy who's gossiping with the girls he works with sir just because gay does not give you the right to speak to another man's woman and that manner you're lucky I didn't find you because I was going to ask you where the bathroom was and to see if you was going to give me that same type of tone and disrespect I don't have nothing against being gay but that doesn't give you a free ride to speak to any woman the way you want to speak to him especially another man's woman $140 meal great time all for it to be ruined about one person and for my fiance to be spoken down to like a piece of dirt that's pathetic and no I have nothing against homosexuals but just because you want to be one of the girls and act like I'm just not give you the right to speak to any woman that comes in there like they're trash and for you to be a waiter or a dishwasher or whatever you are you're going to speak to someone's woman like that one day and it's going to be the wrong man that finds you near the kitchen and it's going to have a nice firm talk with you or something else but beside this one person food was excellent bartender was awesome if you ever go get bartender Luke he's on point 24/7“

“Our group of 12 ladies had one of our best group brunches yesterday. All of our dishes were delicious and our waiter Danny was fabulous! Service was amazing. And not only did he know what we needed before we asked, he had a great personality and made our meal extra fun! Next time we go we are asking for Danny!“

“awesome, amazing place, must visiting“

“John the bartender made awesome drinks and was very helpful. Our waitress was very nice and responsive even though she was the only one working and had a lot of tables to manage. The food didn’t live up to the standard set by the drinks and the friendly staff. The grouper was average and the skirt steak asada was really tough…and had to be sent back twice. I’d go again as the atmosphere, staff and drinks were top shelf.“

“Restaurant Iron has long been our go-to destination in downtown Pensacola. Its intimate ambiance, dedicated upscale menu, and consistent quality made it stand out above any other establishment in the area. We’ve brought out-of-town guests to showcase the richness of the local cuisine, always confident that the experience—from the first cocktail to the last bite of Nutella or raspberry ganache pie—would impress. Our typical order was a ritual: shareable truffle fries, a perfectly cooked ribeye (always photo-worthy), and a decadent dessert to close. These elements, paired with the cozy atmosphere, were what made Iron so special. Unfortunately, our most recent visit on May 9 was deeply disappointing. Despite the torrential downpour, we didn’t think twice about keeping our reservation. But upon arrival, we were met with an entirely different experience. The menu, which now features sliders and sandwich-style dishes, felt more suited for a casual lunch spot than the refined dining experience we had come to love. Several signature dishes were removed, and the new offerings didn’t align with the elevated identity Iron once upheld. Even the menu design itself no longer reflects the restaurant’s original charm. Service also fell short of expectations. We were served the wrong salad, and the correct one arrived without dressing. Dessert—though eventually comped—took an unexpectedly long time to be served, rounding out an already lackluster evening. We truly hope this is a temporary shift. Restaurant Iron was once our top choice for special occasions and recommendations. But based on our last visit, we no longer feel confident choosing it for a date night or referring friends and family. Please reconsider restoring the signature dishes and experience that made Iron exceptional.“

“Great place, service was good.“

“Brett was our waiter tonight for my Birthday and it was amazing he made us laugh and made everything happy so smoothly tonight. We didn’t feel rushed at all and turned around to our glasses full. We never had to ask for anything because he was always here to fill our glasses“

“What a cute little place! Chill and cozy vibes! Food was yummy and our waitress was very nice! Great place to try if you’re downtown.“

“Excellent food, best seafood I’ve had honestly! Cocktails are amazing, service is top notch! I’ve had the catfish and the Redfish…both times were great. Highly recommend. Great view of the harbor and bay!“

“This is my home away from home! As a recovered alcoholic I never thought I'd be comfortable hanging out in one of my favorite social settings, but at LA Cabaña I'm safe, at home, welcomed and not pressured to drink. I cannot begin to sing enough praises, the people, the food, the atmosphere all of it is awesome! ✌️🤟🍀“

“Love love love ❤️ Rosie o Grady is awesome“

“I've been a regular for a long time. All of the bartenders rock, the atmosphere is great, and the clientele is open, and welcoming! The bartenders and customers try to make everyone feel like family! I have met some of my closest friends here, and they regularly host birthday parties, wedding receptions, and even a Monday night Soup Club!“

“I love this place! MWR is a good spot to unwind with your friends and play pool or just chill and watch a movie, or a good place to get some administrative work done, free printers! . Good place to meet friends and sometimes they have free snacks. The food is well made and affordable. They have bowling and video games.“

“I've been a couple times and and the atmosphere and staff are fantastic. The website to order tickets is borderline disgusting! Unreadable white text on beige background. I had to highlight everything to purchase tickets and it was very tedious. Whoever designed the website colors needs to be punished.“

“I've never had a bad experience here. Great food and good drinks. They do close a bit earlier than some of the beach spots.“

“🏄🏻‍♂️great people and the best way to have fun…“

“Such amazing food and such a wonderful dining experience! Our server Presley was incredible! He did a fantastic job and made our experience here top notch!!“

“Local spot, we come here after work every other week. Marissa is a great bartender, the other bartenders are also good. They have rumple and i cant ask for much more than that. Be nice if you left the door open for the smoke to air out, as i smell like an ash tray when i get home, but it wont stop me from coming. Always a good place and never a problem“

“10 out 10 on the St Patrick’s day special of Corn beef and cabbage.“
