“very nice place great atmosphere, excellent food and the staff was wonderful.“

“We came a here a few times during our trip to the beach..had wonderful service from Zach, Allie, and Casey! My husband couldn't get enough of the ahi bowl. can't wait to go back next year!“

“One of the most popular spots on the beach, great food and atmosphere, tons of TV'S. I sat at the bar for lunch, Lauren was my bartender, she was super sweet and helped me with the menu and my order. The food came out excellent in a reasonable time. I got the Honey BBQ Burger, so so good!! You can never go wrong with Lauren at Sidelines!“

“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.“

“It’s literally my favorite restaurant. 💗“

“O.G. Lola’s is a true labor of love, and it shows. Every time I eat here, I’m blown away by the flavors and the care that goes into each dish. It’s just the owner and sometimes her partner running the whole operation, and somehow they manage to keep everything consistent, flavorful, and absolutely worth the stop. It’s inspiring to see small businesses like this thriving with such heart behind them. A must-visit for anyone in Pensacola—vegan or not!“

“Restaurant Iron has long been our go-to destination in downtown Pensacola. Its intimate ambiance, dedicated upscale menu, and consistent quality made it stand out above any other establishment in the area. We’ve brought out-of-town guests to showcase the richness of the local cuisine, always confident that the experience—from the first cocktail to the last bite of Nutella or raspberry ganache pie—would impress. Our typical order was a ritual: shareable truffle fries, a perfectly cooked ribeye (always photo-worthy), and a decadent dessert to close. These elements, paired with the cozy atmosphere, were what made Iron so special. Unfortunately, our most recent visit on May 9 was deeply disappointing. Despite the torrential downpour, we didn’t think twice about keeping our reservation. But upon arrival, we were met with an entirely different experience. The menu, which now features sliders and sandwich-style dishes, felt more suited for a casual lunch spot than the refined dining experience we had come to love. Several signature dishes were removed, and the new offerings didn’t align with the elevated identity Iron once upheld. Even the menu design itself no longer reflects the restaurant’s original charm. Service also fell short of expectations. We were served the wrong salad, and the correct one arrived without dressing. Dessert—though eventually comped—took an unexpectedly long time to be served, rounding out an already lackluster evening. We truly hope this is a temporary shift. Restaurant Iron was once our top choice for special occasions and recommendations. But based on our last visit, we no longer feel confident choosing it for a date night or referring friends and family. Please reconsider restoring the signature dishes and experience that made Iron exceptional.“

“We just had the perfect lunch here. Chef Carl, Mandylynn, and their team are so friendly and fast, and the food was AMAZING. The new lunch menu did not disappoint. This was literally the best pork I’ve eaten. So unique and flavorful!“

“Another amazing visit to McGuires Pensacola. We were seated in the Grand Hall tonight. Shout out to our server, Jeb! He treated us superbly! His personable, knowledgeable, and thorough. We enjoyed our entire experience tonight! Loved hearing the bagpipes as they were played as the musician walked through. Thank you Jeb and everyone at McGuire’s for a great evening!“

“I love how they are always trying new flavors! Amazing ice cream“

“If you need something COOL and REFRESHING... go to City Bowl South! Everything they serve is absolutely amazing!“

“As a local, I’ve never been here. My husband brought me and said let’s give it a try. I’m so happy we chose this place tonight. It is absolutely delicious. Our server. Nick was amazing. I had the stuff. Flounder! It was so good. Presentation was beautiful. My husband had deep fried chicken plate and the macaroni and cheese and greens was so delicious. Literally five stars!!!!“

“Delicious cappuccino crunch ice cream. Very friendly staff. Come see Alex and try it out.“

“We have visited twice. Both times, we had great meals. The wait staff were friendly and efficient. The only thing missing was a feeling of being welcomed when we walk in the door and smiles on the faces of those who work there.“

“Great wait staff wonderful food. Good prices“

“The best doughnuts I’ve ever had!! The owner, Aaron is a really cool guy also!! Located in beautiful downtown Pensacola! I highly recommend!!“

“Top Notch delicious food, beverages, and friendly hospitality…worth the wait.“

“I have been eating at Taco Rock for several years and every single time I have been happy and full. Their food is always on point and delicious. I was short a couple of dollars one time so I asked the woman at the window if she could hold my food and I’ll be back with the remaining $. She kindly told me to leave with the food and return when I can with the rest of the $. My sister took the money up there for me the same day because I got tied up at work. This business is a rare gem. A++“

“They were pretty busy, so the service seemed to be dragging as we were outside and it was a tad chilly. However, we really did like our waitress, and she took good care of us. The food was fantastic, and we ordered a couple of nice cold beers. She took a few minutes to tell us about the history of the restaurant and encouraged us to go in and see the brick oven, which I did. A cook was shoving a huge pizza in there when I walked in, so it's not just a show piece, they actually are using the brick oven! We enjoyed this place a lot. Not from here, just passing through, but we will be sure to stop in again on our way through! Thank you to the kind cook for the photo opp! :)“

“My wife and I dined there this evening and had the Chefs blind tasting. What a fantastic experience. The waitstaff, the chef and the food were top notch. Every course was full of flavor and mind blowing pairings. Kiwi sorbet and tuna tartare? Yup! It was out of this world. Recommend and will go again. 11/10“

“was there Saturday morning and was able to get sat right away. took a few mins to get drinks but it was a busy weekend so no biggie. the food was absolutely amazing. the Shrimp and Grits were perfect!“

“Hats off to the Elbow Room! We decided to have my son's 10th birthday dinner there and called in advance to let them know we were planning to celebrate. They wrote his name on the board, stowed our birthday cake in their fridge and brought it out with candles lit the time came to sing. Food was delish, drinks were perfectly poured, and the staff was super kind and hospitable! Shout-out to Tabitha -- she's fantastic!“

“Very good Vietnamese restaurant. Our seafood platter steamed in garlic butter with crawfish was delicious! We look forward to visiting them again !“

“Great food and kind staff!“

“A Taste of India is my number one favorite restaurant in Pensacola. The owner treats you like family, the staff are extremely professional, courteous, friendly and always go the extra mile to not only meet customers' expectations, but to exceed them. The food is top notch, second to none. If you thoroughly enjoy India cuisine, curried chicken, curried shrimp, curried fish, along with chicken masala, tan Dorian chicken, seasoned vegetables, seasoned rice, then I can't recommend a better restaurant. You've got to try a Taste of India 810 East Gregory St. Pensacola Florida. You'll definitely be glad you did. An incredibly satisfied customer.“

“Tyler is the best part of Graffiti pizza. It was my Grandaughters birthday and he went out of his way to bring us what we needed and was so attentive to us. He couldn't accept a tip from us but he was outstanding. We're from Chicago so you know we ain't comparing the pizza....lol. It was a nice chill family setting.“

“Amazing food and unique craft cocktails- we love Taylor and Dani 🫶🏼“

“My chicken medallions were deep fried, not what I ordered as chicken medallions. Sauce was odd. Husband ordered his steak as well done-dietary restriction-came out medium. It was sent back and remade. A good steak shouldn't require a gravy on top!
Doubt we will return. Creme brulee as dessert was perfect!“

“Ordered for the first time tonight and I was pleasantly surprised! My pork bun was flavorful and filling. The spring rolls were tasty as well. The restaurant was attentive to my note about allergies and so we had a great and safe meal. We will be returning customers!“

“Excellent welcoming service, Erin the Manager was very inviting. Food was amazing to look at, smell and taste.“

“Our favorite place!! We love to come here for our anniversary!! 10/10 on the bacon too 🤣“

“Delicious food every single time. Friendly service, always! Great place to try something different in Pcola!“

“Went there for the first time last night with my wife. Amazing experience. Our server Logan was on point. Great suggestions, very informative about anything we had questions on. Personable and will definitely request on our next video. Started out with the Garlic Confit. Incredibly deep flavored garlic over feta cheese with some roasted tomatoes. I had Chicken parm but subbed for their rustic Alfredo with a level hot spice to it! Have you ever had spice Alfredo? No? Me neither. Now I may never be able to eat it the same way. Wife had the eggplant parm. Great texture and the red sauce tasted like the tomatoes were picked and smashed earlier that day. Again, beautiful experience. Make sure to get your reservations because otherwise you probably won’t get a table!“

“Going on 4 years of living in Pensacola & just this week discovered Cafe Single Fin! I’m vegetarian & I’m so happy to find a place with so many choices. Love the atmosphere, everyone is so nice & the food is delicious 😋“

“I was visiting Pensacola for a family reunion. To make things easy for dinner we decided to order pizza. Someone suggested Ozone Pizza Pub. My group of 16 consisted vegans, vegetarians, someone with religious dietary restrictions, and people who are everything. Ozone Pizza hit a home run! They didn't blink at my take out order. They said 30 minutes and I believe it was ready to the very minute. Very friendly staff. As far as the pizza, DELICIOUS! I highly recommend Ozone Pizza Pub. Thank you so much!!!“

“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!“

“We celebrated our 1 year wedding anniversary here and loved it. Best food, service and experience ever. Lauren and one of the managers Aaron were amazing! 10/10 we will be back!! Thanks so much! Terra & Craig“

“Just got back from Mellow Mushroom in Pensacola, and it was one of those easy, happy meals that reminds you why you keep coming back.

First off, Maddy was the real highlight. She greeted us with a kind smile and this upbeat, genuinely welcoming attitude that instantly set the tone. She was attentive without hovering, conversational in a way that felt natural, and she checked on us at all the right times. The whole experience felt smooth and friendly because of her.

Food-wise, Mellow did what Mellow does best: delivered the classics flawlessly. The pizza was hot, flavorful, and exactly as expected (in the best way). The Greek salad was crisp and fresh with that tangy, satisfying bite. And the pretzel bites? Always spot on, warm, soft, perfectly salted, and impossible not to keep grabbing.

Maddy, thank you for a great experience. We’ll definitely be back. 🍕🥗🥨“

“We had a Meat Lovers and New Yorker Special and I believe this was some of the best pizza I have ever had!“

“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.“

“Hunt Brothers Pizza is a great pizza for anybody searching for really good tasting food the employees are always very respectful their Pizza is also never undercooked or overcooked it is always just right with a perfect amount of toppings“

“My friends and I absolutely love dining at Sushi Masa! We try to visit at least once a month. Food is always amazing. We really enjoyed our most recent experience with Becca as our server! Definitely ask for her! Service was wonderful and quick. I wish they had one in Gulf Shores! But definitely worth the hour drive!!“

“I love this place, I eat there quite often, good and fresh food and convenient to my house.“
