Restaurants in Pensacola Beach

“"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!!”

“my first time back to Pensacola in a long long time. and we were having kind of a bummer of a morning until we found the shaka! and Steven the bartender, one of the best! thanks to the entire bar for providing us a great spot to watch the Blue Angels today and have a tang banger or two ;-)”

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Tiki on Pensacola Beach is a must-visit! Austin, the bartender, has one of the best personalities on the beach—he welcomes every customer with a fun, relaxed vibe that makes you feel right at home. The cocktails are fantastic, the atmosphere is unbeatable, and the bayside views of Pensacola Beach make it the perfect place to unwind. This spot has the coziest beach-style furniture, fire pits, bean bags, swings, and even a playground for the kids. It’s truly fun for the whole family and one of the best bayside bars on Pensacola Beach for locals and visitors alike. Highly recommend stopping by Tiki for great drinks, amazing service from Austin, and the ultimate family-friendly Pensacola Beach hangout!”

“My wife and I got the Classic Burrito and Chocolate Waffle and both were perfect. Serving sizes were much bigger then expected and full of flavor.
Everything is made to your order so be prepared for a small wait but it is worth it!
A great hidden spot in the strip mall.”

“One of the best beach bars I been to!! The food was great and the drinks were even better, RB is hands down one of the best bartender we’ve had in awhile, super sweet and accommodating , 10/10”

“Great variety of frozen cocktails. The main bar was completely full when we got there but there was plenty of seats at the secondary bar. Our bar tender was very attentive and made some great suggestions on which cocktails to try.”

“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.”

“Wow! The prices have really soared after their renovations!”

“Always recommend Native. Best Bennie in Pensacola. And if you are looking for local art, they have a ton of wonderful pieces to purchase. 10/10 and yes, we keep coming back year after year.”

“We loved the ice cream!! We’ll definitely be back, on our next vacation to Florida. We drove over from Orange Beach, this past Thursday. It was worth the trip for the beach, and the ice cream.”

“Delicious ice cream . I’m visiting from Minnesota and this place is great. I’ll come every night.”

“First off.. Barbara our server, was fantastic and very helpful. We were so hungry after spending all morning boogie boarding at Stanford beach. Every meal we had was hot, fresh and delicious. The cocktails were yummy and so needed and the outside patio was great for ppl coming directly from the beach. Loved our lunch experience and definitely recommend this place if you’re in the area! Thank you Barbara!”

“The staff here is extremely friendly, they really helped my family and I when we were in a bind. We also purchased a smoothie and a refresher from them, both were delicious. I’d recommend this place to everyone.”

“Great place to have a beer.”

“Not sure why everyone in the reviews hates this place but the coffee and donuts were good!”

“Beautiful location reasonable price great service”

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

“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.”

“Salt delivered on every level. I started with a perfectly made dirty martini, and those blue cheese-stuffed olives were a standout. For dinner, I had the lamb lollipops, and they were tender, flavorful, and beautifully plated. We shared the charcuterie board, which was not only high quality but also had gluten-free crackers, a detail I really appreciated. It’s rare to find a restaurant that offers such great gluten-free options without compromising flavor or presentation. Service was top-notch, the atmosphere was relaxed yet upscale, and I left genuinely impressed. Salt is far more than a hotel restaurant. It’s a restaurant this Pensacola local looks forward to visiting again and again.”

“Ashley came from.the back with this beautiful smile and bright eyes! She was warm and professional. She made our sandwiches which so much care and attention. I know it is something so small to some but as an owner of 3 businesses, customer care is something I deeply value. She exemplified what it is to show up extraordinarily in the mundane and seemingly unimportant tasks. The atmosphere was set with her customer care. The store was clean, the veggies and food were fresh even at 8 p.m. at night on a Monday. I'm impressed and pleased!
Continue to do all things well from the smallest to the largest task, Ashley!”

“This place has the best ranch dip that is made in house. Whoever thought to make that dip for breadsticks is a genius!”

“Salt was great! Do not be deterred that it is inside the hotel. The atmosphere and food was amazing. Crab claw appetizer was incredible. Loved our dinner at Salt and would definitely go back.”

“Amazing food - Chef came to our table through out the meal and good service! Love it being hidden as it’s a private dining experience!”

“We visit Pensacola a few times a year, and Papa’s Pizza is one place we make sure to visit every trip.

The pizza is consistently excellent. The dough is especially delicious, and the quality of the ingredients really stands out. It’s a small, simple place, but everything is made with care and tastes amazing.

We’ve eaten here several times over the years, and it has never disappointed. Easily one of our favorite spots in Pensacola.”

“We came from Ohio with a large group that had been at the beach all day. Everyone's food was wonderful, the owner even came to check on us and the bartender brought my freezing sunburnt kid a blanket. Couldn't have asked for a better family experience❤️ The good news is we have 3 days left in Florida to visit again!!!”

“We went to Drift for our anniversary and we had an amazing time! The views were beautiful with the Blue Angels flying by during dinner time and Melissa our waitress was amazing and had great recommendations!”

“Madison was a great bartender! So personable and her drinks were amazing! Can’t wait to come back. Our whole group throughly enjoyed her company!”
