“absolutely delicious pastries“

“Excellent service and super nice staff!!!“

“Not only were the drinks and food fabulous but the employees were amazing! 7 of us were stuck out in a rainstorm from a motorcycle ride. We were all soaked to the bone and freezing! we stopped here to have a drink and some food and wait the storm out. The bartender who was working on 8/24/25 with short blonde hair deserves a raise! She saw me and the other girl freezing and went to her car and got us her own personal sweaters to wear Her, as well as the sweet waitress that was working were great. We didn't know this little gem of a place existed but now it will permanently be on our list for future rides!“

“I did an evaluation about a year ago (see below). Since then I have upped my visits to about once a week. I get great value for the money. The staff continues to make every meal a pleasant experience. Isabel and all the servers are exceptional.
This is only part of the story, Christopher (manager) deserves a Lion’s share of the credit. His ability to hire and direct quality personnel ensures your visit will be problem free.

I frequent this RT about twice a month. Their specials and promotions make having dinner out a no- brainer.
The wait staff are particularly attentive. Last night, Beth provided excellent repartee, incorporated with spectacular service. The joy of home, without the clean up.“

“Today's visit to IHOP was fantastic. Improvements across the board. Nikki provided amazing service. The food great. Typical breakfast atmosphere. Gluten Friendly pancakes make me happy. Keep it up IHOP. UPDATE: IHOP has discontinued their Gluten free pancakes. That will cost you a star. 🤷“

“I got smothered fries and my son had the potato soup. It was all very delicious, the staff was friendly and fast. We loved everything.“

“awesome, amazing place, must visiting“

“Fire and Good : An amazing family own restaurant newly opened in Milton. Atmosphere remind me English pubs. But the food exceed expectations. Fusion of Mediterranean and Balkan food. Excellent friendly service. We had a big private party for over 60 people and everybody had great time. We wish to owner Ercan Bey, his wife and their son Kaan every success in their journey!!!! Cheers🍻🍻“

“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.“

“👍 Been there twice. Great food, Dog-friendly, nice staff, outdoor areas for volleyball and other games. They even have a little dog park. They have bouncy houses for the little humans, too!“

“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!“

“Excellent food and service“

“Chicken salad sandwich was full of white meat chucks. Great homemade chicken salad. My husband had the Breakfast burger and was extremely please. He had the egg over easy on top and is still talking about how go it was. I’m still telling people about the BLUE ANGEL CHIPS. Those will be ordered every time we go. We will be back!!!“

“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.“

“First time there today. The ladies are so nice, they was very busy but seated us very fast and the food some of the best we’ve had in a long time. Their chicken and dumplings I have to say was almost as good as my mom‘s God rest her soul. Will be going back often. 👍💗“

“I was impressed with one of the managers called, Amanda. She was proactive, friendly, professional, and definitely attentive to all the customers she took care of. She took control where it was necessary and happy doing. She was amazing. Oh! my fajita chicken salad was delicious and a lot. I was pleased to eat there and the place was attractive and clean. I would recommend it to anyone. Thank you for having there. She deserves a 10.“

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

“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“

“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 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.“

“Paige was absolutely awesome!! Made my heart happy! 😉 Thankyou so much for going above and beyond to make your customers more than happy! ❤️“

“always a great visit to this waffle house“

“We ate here on Friday. Absolutely 💯 % the best chicken ever. I give Sonnys 100. Our waitress was also outstanding. Would recommend 👌“

“I think this is the best Waffle House in the Pensacola area. Great service, great cooks, and the place is pretty clean for a Waffle House. This is my go to for a good and quick breakfast…“

“This is a real diner… and it’s patronized by real locals. (… this is why I came - look for work-trucks, practical cars and few/no out of state plates)
I had the pork chop and eggs (over medium - done perfectly).
My server was super polite, checking in her tables frequently…keeping me supplied with coffee… and she was constantly keeping the place neat and clean.
The bonus… and the reason I chose a “local” place…. I was able to ask around the joint (server included) and get some local intel about honest and reliable auto repair garages.“

“Whenever we visit our place and the service!“

“The view is amazing here. So relaxing and peaceful. Everyone is friendly. Having a marina and restaurant on property is a huge benefit with a reasonable drive to the beach.“

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

“So happy they brought Culver’s to Milton. Fell in love with them when they opened in Navarre years ago. Great quality fast food and the most amazing ice cream mixers. Always a positive experience with the employees who have great and friendly personalities.“

“Maggie was absolutely amazing! From the moment we sat down, she was warm, friendly, and so welcoming. She made us feel right at home. We ordered the All-Star Breakfast. Everything came out hot, fresh, and exactly how we wanted it. She kept our drinks filled, checked on us often, and had such a positive attitude the whole time. Great food is always a plus, but great service makes the experience even better. Ms. Maggie truly delivered. If you stop by this location, you'd be lucky to have her taking care of you!“

“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.“

“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“

“The omelette is 🔥 . Love that place!!!!“

“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!“

“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!“

“I love the Milton Caroline Street Waffle House. 🧇😋 They have a very friendly staff and the food is awesome. 🤩 I love the All Star Special with the big blueberry waffle. 🫐🥞 They have really good coffee and I love their mugs. ☕️“

“First off, I'm probably the most brutally honest person you'll meet. I'm a local so I've seen this building fail many times and have had many bad experiences in the past which is probably the main reason I never gave Andy D's a chance until last night (June 18, 2026) and thank God I did because I believe we just found one of our favorite places to eat in NWF.
The food (portions, taste and pricing) was amazing. I'm not even a fan of hush puppies but I was looking for more when I finished mine. The macaroni and white cheese was probably the best I've tried from anywhere besides my own of course because I'm an amazing cook which makes me even more judgemental when eating out. If you like steak at Texas Roadhouse then chances are you have bad taste and will fall in LOVE with Andy D's. The mullet was done so perfect and the portions had me unbuttoning the top button of my shorts LoL but seriously. Our kids got to eat free and we had to box both of their meals to go since they couldn't finish. The chicken tenders were so juicy and thick. Not skimp at all. Their French fries were perfect, crispy and full of meaty potatoes. Not dry like most places. Perfect. They gave me a military discount and our meal for 4 of. us was under $30 which was absolutely incredible.
The absolute best part of our meal was our waitress. She made our kids feel like they were grown and were seen/heard with their every request. Her name was Ava and she was so punctual, so positive and uplifting. I think I went in with a mood and came out excited to come back again. Her service was 2nd to None and you could tell she loved her job. She was a blessing to have as a waitress. They even had line dancing instruction and dancing so of course after our amazing experience and not wanting to leave, me and my girls gave it a shot and they had a blast. I had a blast just watching....ok and participating a little too haha. It was fun. Great job and keep it up Andy D's. We will be back for more!!! Thank you so much“

“Daniel is best cook ever!!!“

“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.“
