“Ahrrr-guably the best restaurant on Pensacola Beach. This casual, beach-view eatery and bar near Fort Pickens is the perfect spot to re-energize with fresh seafood, steaks, burgers, and drinks after a day in the sun and sand. The kids playground and dockside fish feeding make it fun for children. The live music that's not too loud and multiple bars give adults a place to unwind. There's not much to dislike about Peg Leg Petes. The prices are excellent, the food is exceptional, the atmosphere is kitschy in the charming way that one would expect from a pirate-themed coastal restaurant with nautical nick nacks hanging on the walls. The only improvement would be an increase in the amount and an improvement on the comfort of the available seating in the waiting area. Reservations online are recommended. The wait on warm days throughout the year can be hours. Get the grilled grouper, sauteed crab claws, gumbo, or the grouper sandwich with a side of red beans and rice and you'll be singing the praises of Peg Leg Pete's like a pirate that has just returned home from an adventure on the high seas. Add a few "shipwreck" cocktails to your dinner and you might be slurring your words while singing sea shanties as you walk back to your condo on beautiful Pensacola Beach.“
“First things first, if you’re looking for a quality meal, this place has some of the best food I’ve ever eaten. The night we went was for our 11th Anniversary. Our reservation was at 7:30 and we requested to be seated outside if weather permitted to view the water, however, it was incredibly windy due to a storm coming in the next day so we opted to stay inside the restaurant to be seated. I was hoping they would seat us somewhere nice inside since they were aware of our anniversary based on the reservation and we specifically requested a nice view even if we weren’t able to be seated outside, but they gave us a choice of either sitting outside as we requested, exposed to the incredibly high wind, or a table seated inside. We obviously chose inside but the restaurant is incredibly loud. You have to raise your voice to hear over the noise of the place. Hoping to avoid the loudness of the main dining room, we chose to be seated in what we hoped was a quieter area near the gift shop. Nope. They literally sat us in the bar where we were looking at people’s backs as they watched the games on tv. Not exactly the most romantic seating. I thought they’d at least try to seat us at a window overlooking the water but no. We were literally in the noisiest, least scenic seats in the restaurant. It was fairly disappointing. So much so that we just wanted to get our food and eat as quickly as possible to get out of there. We’d planned on having a nice dinner with drinks and dessert, but we just ordered a salad and our entree’s so we could eat as quickly as possible to leave. Now, the meal was DELICIOUS. My husband ordered the filet and I had the lobster tails. They were both cooked and seasoned to perfection and it came out fairly quickly. I’ve eaten here in the past and gotten the grouper and wasn’t too thrilled with it several years ago, but whoever is in their kitchen these days is knocking it out of the park. The Boursin grits that my perfectly cooked, perfectly seasoned lobster tails sat atop complimented them beautifully! My husbands filet was also cooked to perfection and he said it was one of the best cooked steaks he’s ever had. Highest marks on the food. We would have stayed to try the dessert and after dinner drinks, but with the seating we had and as loud as it was we were just ready to leave, which is unfortunate because a nice meal should be enjoyed slowly and leisurely and should be an experience. This…was NOT an experience that I wanted to draw out, but again, the food was phenomenal! I would recommend this place if you’re out to drink and be seen, but not for a nice romantic dining experience. At least it wasn’t for us. Skip this place if you’re looking for an intimate or romantic vibe. If you want somewhere where you can talk, slowly enjoy your meal, and has the vibe where you want the meal to last and truly get to savor each course, this isn’t your place. This is more chaotic, hip bar vibes with a really nice menu.“
“This place was beautiful it all ways. Food was delicious. I had crab dip and Key lime pie. Ive only had 1 amazing key lime 20 yrs ago. . I have finally found amazing #2. It was so good! Tammy was my waitress.. sweet, kind, attentive, adorable. The views were absolutely gorgeous.. beautiful live carribean style music on the patio. Perfection at this spot!“
“New restaurant for us this year, great view, awesome food, and nice atmosphere. There were games for the kids to play as well as a beach for them play on.The taco bowls were amazing, as well as the “Greuben”, the spiral fries were also delicious.“
“We are here with 11 people. The server, Lauren was phenomenal! The food was excellent! We had appetizers, the banging shrimp was amazing, bbq shrimp was a table favorite, and my kids (and adults) loved the chips and salsa. The tacos were delicious, the fish and chips were also very good. There was not a dish that was not good. A must go to place when in Pensacola.“
“We brought our fresh catch her for staff to prepare for our meal. We enjoyed our blackened red snapper, with sides of corn, slaw and oysters. We also enjoyed the drinks and the view was great. This is our fifth or sixth trip here to this very fun, local hang out.“
“We were there the day after Thanksgiving. The bartender & one of the servers were busting their butts waiting on patrons. The other server wearing a white top with black stripes seemed lost. She halfway cleaned some tables & delivered some food. Otherwise, she stood around while the other two did most of the work.“
“Took my family of four here for dinner and we had a good time. The location is convenient and the atmosphere is fun. The food is good, and we happened to be there for happy hour so we got a half price nachos and some cheap drinks. We also ordered the pulled pork, shrimp tacos and kids burgers.“
“This restaurant is an absolute treasure! We are from out of town and had read amazing reviews about it in the local Pensacola Facebook group. We enjoyed it so much last night, we went back tonight. Everything was perfection on both nights- the lumpia, the lamp lollipops, the mussels, and the soups (seafood and French onion) were both a ten! The only difficulty is saving room for dessert which is also a must-have. The bread pudding is out of this world. I made a reservation to come back the next time we are back in town. Food is superb as well as service. Will not disappoint!!!“
“Food and atmosphere amazing! Staff were all creat and friendly our main Server was Andrea. Love how they all work as a team to serve.....only gave a 4 on service because we were almost 'checked on' too much. But definitely recommend this place!!“
