27 Best Seafood Restaurants near 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!!“

“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“

“My husband and I visited this evening for a date night. It was our second time coming (we visit once a year from Ohio). We both had the shrimp and grits, and it was FANTASTIC. So flavorful!! The portion size was perfect, and we both left stuffed. The view from the deck is beautiful, overlooking the water, with pelicans flying by, and our waitress was very nice. We will be back every time we’re in town!“

“Felt like a hidden gem! We were bummed there were no raw oysters, but the chargrilled Keywester oysters, smoked tuna dip, mac and cheese, steamed shrimp, and chicken strips were all super fresh and delicious. They even surprised us with bread pudding and ice cream. Service was top-notch—every staff member pitched in, and the place ran smoothly. Loved the quirky decor with big fish and deer heads. We’ll definitely be back!“

“So good! The upstairs vibe is our favorite, food is amazing - salads, French Onion Soup, Filet and NY Strip and bourbon sweet potato mash, but the service and care is extraordinary - Jemal is absolutely incredible - what an amazing human being and he takes great pride in his job and responsibility - hope every one has some Jemal in their life! We will be back - great food, great service and pride in each person’s role makes this place!“

“This place is the BEST. Old school boat yard where you can get your bottom paint done and back in the water! Giovanni is by far the highlight of the business. He seems mean but is really nice and helpful over you get to know him. If not for him I wouldn't have known what I was doing!!Great location by down town Pcola. Close to everything!“

“I had the gizzards. They were good. My wife had the cheeseburger. It was huge. We both had fries - they were the thick ones. They were good. The “atmosphere” was a bit lacking - it wasn’t dirty - just looked old and worn out. Not a romantic place to go😀“

“FIVE STARS! This was our first time dining at Captain Joey Patti’s but it will not be our last! The boiled shrimp, cole slaw, hush puppies and key lime pie were all amazing!“
