I'm a local, but I've been to New Orleans. This is not cajun food. When I was in New Orleans, no matter what place I ate at, it was amazing. This food? Not only does it not taste like cajun food, but often it's barely average. I try to give this place another chance every year or so, and tonight is my 4th time being disappointed. The food portions have always been on the small side(4 crab stuffed mushrooms that can fit in the palm of your hand for $14), but I actually spit out the crawfish from the Acadiana Platter. It had a raw/fishy taste that I've never experienced before when eating crawfish. The sauce was bland. Then they added french fries/potato wedges(which seems like a cheap way to make a side dish). I don't enjoy giving locally owned places bad reviews. I really don't. However, I hope they have a major change and sometimes changes don't happen unless people speak up.

Order to go go and 4 stuffed mushrooms were $14..the shrimp and crawfish with rice could not eat ..too salty..Very expensive to have to put in trash

Great staff, very informative, told us about the sea turtle hospital, where to see the turtles off the pier, and about the pier. Nice little area with local gifts. Just stopped to grab an early morning coffee and learned so much!!!

Good experience. The food is decently close to NOLA cuisine, which is difficult to find. Really enjoyed the crawfish etouffe over rice, good flavor. For the size of the meal though the price is a bit high, and the plate is half Cajun fries, that might be the only complaint. Prices are going up everywhere for everything though. Overall it's a giant and great restaurant with friendly waitresses despite being understaffed.

We really enjoyed it. We had lunch on a Thursday. The atmosphere was nice service was great. I started with 1/2 dozen of oysters in the half shell and Bloody Mary, both were really good and came out quickly. My husband had the club with Cajun fries, very large and delicious. I had the cheeseburger with fried okra, and really enjoyed them. The prices weren’t outrageous.

Great place for beach atmosphere, great service, great food, and you you must have the deep fried cheese cake. Parking is never an issue and now there's a Espresso shop inside the restaurant with plenty of seating of its own. We'll definitely return to this establishment everytime we're in Navarre Beach.Parking: Parking is never an issue at Broussard's

Love this place! I definitely go back again when I have the chance! If you even go to FL Pensacola try this spot!

Pricey but really decent food. The redfish was flavorful and the gator bites appetizer was yummy. The beignet fries were tasty (chocolate sauce could be much better) . They had a sign on the door about short staffed, but we had no complaints and enjoyed our visit. The "limited" waitstaff were excellent! Definitely will try other fare on the menu

Enjoyed our food, service & drink selection both times we ate at Broussard’s at Navarre Beach. The wait staff was very attentive even though the restaurant was very busy. Loved the generous but not monster portions. Can’t wait to come back for more.
This Google rating is WAY too low…ate here this evening w/family for hubby’s birthday. Cannot say enough positives for our server, Erika…so very personable, knowledgeable and accomadating! All of the food we ordered was SO tasty and out quickly…from fried pickles and oysters Rockefeller, to entrees of blackened red fish, fried shrimp and shrimp & grits. We definitely recommend Broussard’s and hope to go back while we’re here this week.

The service was a 10! Our waitress was so kind and quick. The restaurant was very clean and nice. The gumbo was delicious. Our main courses were both just ok. My husband ordered the sloppy Broussard and I had the fried fish sandwich. The gumbo came with a side of corn biscuits and potato salad. Those were both good.

We got the crab dip and beignet fries as appetizers (not pictured here). They were exquisite. Very tasteful and fresh items. We also got the crawfish étouffée and crawfish mac and cheese, both cup size, and they were pretty good. We had to add some salt and pepper to the mac and cheese though.For our main entrees we got the Half and Half (fried), the Sloppy Broussard (fried), the Mahi Sandwich, and Fish (its called Swai fish). You can see pictures of the main entrees in the review. Overall, I give this place a 4.5. A few points got knocked off for the lack of seasoning in the mac & cheese.Our server Chris was an incredible host and the live jazz was excellent. Would totally recommend!

This is definitely a tourist type restaurant. The host took about 10 minutes to seat us in a over half empty restaurant. Our waitress was friendly but slow. I finished half of my beer before our food arrived. The boudin balls are an insult to boudin. They were basically bland bread paste that got fried poorly. It's almost as if someone heard what boudin is supposed to taste like from a homeless person in New York and decided to recreate it using ingredients found in a vending machine. Our shrimp and green tomato poboy was okay. Nothing to write home about or make me want to go back. Again this is a tourist trap place. The food's only connection with Cajun food is that they call themselves Cajun. This is not Cajun food. We won't be back and don't recommend anyone go unless they actually start making good food. Cheers and have a great day at the beach.

This place should get 10 stars! It was spectacular!! Shayna was the best waitress we've had in a long time (this is definitely a hint to management to give this girl a raise!). The food was so, so good. And you better save room for the fried cheesecake because it was out of this world (hence why I didn't get a picture.. there was no time for photos!). We will definitely return!
