23 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!!“

We will be back every time we’re in town!“

“Great poboy and Waitress Chelsea K“

“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.“

“Excellent food friendly staff over all recommend 10/10“

“Extremely disappointed in this place. Drink came late and not as ordered. Being a fine dining restaurant, we expected a good experience . Ribeye was fat and grisly. Poorest cut of meat I've ever had. Brussel sprouts were hard as a rock. Asked for rolls twice. Martini added extra $4 WHEN MENU WAS 13. not $17. not dirty and not shaken cold. I'm a simple customer. I just wanted a shaken martini and a good steak. Aupoire sauce was bland. Manager never came over to our table to check. Bounced around to the other customers. Wanted Jacksons but unfortunately chose the District. Blue cheese wedge has a teaspoon of hard dried out bacon. Waiter apologized after we said we didn't need a doggie back The steak was raw and wouldn't take it home . So, he took a drink off. LOL If You spend $150 on dinner, it should be good. Bad experience.“

“Amazing Food and Exceptional Service from Portia and Jacob!! One of my favorite new spots!!!“

“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!“

“absolutely wonderful food i love the atmosphere of the place and the owner is just wonderful. she had me engaged in a wonderful conversation about her country. she asked e how was my family even though we are not acquainted. and the food is just lovely. it is a must try.“
