34 Best Seafood Restaurants near Gulf Breeze

“I absolutely LOVE this restaurant! I have been visiting Pensacola for years, and every time I visit, I always stop at this place and have NEVER been disappointed! My sister-in-law and I came together this weekend (her first time in Pensacola), and she loved it so much, she insisted we eat here THREE times in our two day trip! lol You don't have to twist my arm!! They have the best servers, like Rachel and Kayla, and they always have amazing food and a HUGE menu! I have never left there hungry or disappointed! You definitely need to try the crab bisque! It's literally the BEST bisque I've EVER had! If you don't stop here for at least one night you're here, you're missing out!! ❤️“

“We brought our whole soccer team including parents, players, and coaches. It was one of the BEST experiences we have ever had. Our servers were AWESOME!! Thank you Cambre, Brenna, and Jason for making out night so perfect!! Fast on taking orders and getting our drinks and food quickly and accurately and especially on one of the busiest weekends in Pensacola and with such a large party.“

“We’ve never ever had a bad meal at Dave’s! In this small of a town and the lack of good food options, this is one of the only three food spots we choose to put our money towards. Not only is the food amazing, but the service is always top notch. I’ve never received immaculate serves consistently anywhere else.“

“Justine was our waitress and was great and had a lovely conversation with her. Food was just as good as some of the other restaurants in the area for a lot more money. We had the seafood platter and was enough to feed both of us. We would visit here again if ever back in the area.“

“dont sleep on this place! highly recommend“

“"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! Once again Very Friendly Staff, Definitely a 5-Star Restaurant!!“
