50 Best Vegan Restaurants near Pensacola Beach

“Our waitress Raquel who was not only beautiful inide and out. Her service was so professional and so helpful, we will certainly be back again.“

“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.“

“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!“

“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!“

“Everything about EOTL is top-notch - the food, the music, the people, even the physical place itself - everything. Its been over two years since I and another stumbled upon EOTL Cafe, so I don't remember exactly what I had, but I remember I thought it some of the best vegan food I'd ever had. I just might move there JUST to be closer - it's THAT good!“

“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 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.“

“I've been in Pensacola for about a month now and was looking for a restaurant to visit for my birthday, and this place was certainly the right choice. The pizza was incredible and the service was top tier, I plan to visit them plenty in the future.“

“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!“

“I don’t even like breakfast, but I can’t stop thinking about their chorizo shrimp breakfast burrito it was amazing!!! And the staff is always so friendly!“

“Cannot recommend this place highly enough. It was so good that we had to go twice during our 5 day vacation. The owner is so friendly, knowledgeable, and courteous. He was happy to make recommendations based on our preferences. The entire staff were great as well. The food was outstanding; everything we ate was so flavorful and the portions were big. Do yourself a favor and go ahead and get two or three orders of naan with your meal… so worth it. We can’t wait until we’re in PCB again; Taste of India will definitely be in our meal rotation!“

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

“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++“

“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 wife and I had dinner there. To start my wife had the blueberry lemon drop martini and I had an Old Fashioned. Her martini was excellent, my Old Fashioned was a little too sweet for my taste and a little pricey at $16.50. We had the wedge salad which was excellent. For dinner I had the grouper over risotto. It was a very nice size of fish and cooked just right. My wife had the tenderloin tournedos. Both dishes we outstanding. For dessert we received a complimentary Blueberry Cheesecake because it was my birthday. It wasn't the typical cheesecake in that it was heated with ice cream on top. It was delicious. We can't say enough about our waiter Brandon. He was very engaging and excellent in every way. Overall, it was a wonderful experience, while being a bit pricey with our meal topping over $200 for the two of us. That is why we only go to Jackson's for special occasions.“

“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!“

“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!“
