“Food is always fresh and delicious! Owner is super sweet and always working along side her staff to help out. One of our favorite and pretty much the only place we eat in Pensacola.”
“Jay was absolutely fantastic this evening! One of the best servers we have ever had. He was so personable, informative, attentive, and provided a truly exceptional dining experience. Ask for Jay when you visit - you won’t be disappointed!!”
“I stopped in and placed a carry out order. The Pho is delicious! The broth was extremely flavorful and I loved the chicken meatballs that were in the chicken pho. I was surprised by the meatballs. Most places just do the chicken breast but House of Pho puts in both. I also ordered the waffle egg rolls. The outside was like a shredded wheat texture but they were very good and crunchy. I definitely recommend everyone to give it a try!”
“Love this restaurant. Food is flavorful and fresh. Drinks are on point. Great place for a date, or birthday dinner with friends. Going later in the evening is preferred.”
“Had a wonderful experience at George’s Bistro for my going away brunch! Our waitress, Jennifer, was exceptional and really made the experience! All the food was amazing!”

“We had a wonderful dinner and experience here today! Valery was our server and she did an amazing job explaining all of the items to us! It was DELICIOUS! I HIGHLY recommend the steak, it has so much flavor and was delicious! We got the bread pudding and it was super yummy! They were running low on dessert and can't wait to try some more next time! We will def be back!”
“Ordered delivery from the GB location for the first time. My son enjoyed his burger but I was disappointed. I ordered mine without sauce because of food allergies, and it showed up covered in sauce. Also, the fries tasted like they were fried in old oil and were inedible. I ended up having to throw those out. I’ve heard good things about Sauce Boss so I’ll try them again, but the first experience wasn’t good.”
“I love the flora bama yacht club! I ate there last week and i had the ahi tuna nachos and they were fabulous. Patrise got me to try the bushwacker with a peanut butter topper and wow!! Excellent service! Thanks! I will be back.”

“Such an amazing night. We were both already fans of Chef George however after tonight we are even bigger fans. Our entire experience was great. We went out for my birthday/our 20th anniversary. We did a tasting of the menu from oysters (murder pointe) delicious, buttery soft and a hint of sweet the cucumber, red wine and shallot mignonette were a beautiful start. Followed by red snapper collar which was delicious however our server noticed we were having a harder time accessing the meat then normal and immediately spoke with Chef George who Insisted on firing a new one even though we’d enjoyed over half of our first one. So we ordered some tuna carpaccios while we waited and this was outstanding (if you like jalapeños ask for extra). Our second red snapper collar came out and was perfection. Soft flaky smooth and delicious (thank you chef for insisting absolutely worth it). We then decided to order the flounder main dish to share which was also perfect. The crispy fried capers and roasted pecans added a wonderful crunch contrast to the soft silky fish and creamy potatoes. To finish the night we got the tuxedo cake, and while not made in house clearly was chosen for its superior quality as my husband who does not care for chocolate was eating more of the chocolate mouse than the vanilla cheesecake. I would also highly recommend the Paloma such a refreshing drink like your sitting on a lounge chair on the beach enjoying the sunset.”
“Enjoyed our brunch here. Excellent server who was helpful and knowledgeable and also friendly. We each had different foods. Our gumbo, omelet and pancake choices were all delicious. I would go back when in Pensacola again.”

“I moved here from Colorado 7 years ago, and had been desperate to find good Mexican food. Every single place I tried sent me into despair, as I was used to there being incredible hole in the wall, authentic places on every corner back home. I was particularly homesick one night, and decided to try once more to find quality Mexican food. A girl need a taco dangit! I found this place on door dash, and ordered an assortment of things for my mom, the kids, and I. Burritos, tacos, assorted meats, and of course jalapenos, I went overboard. I was craving a solid lingua, as if it's cooked right, it's the most incredible taco you'll ever find.The smell emanating from the bag must have driven the driver crazy, and I'm hoping he went back to obtain their own order of tacos. That level of torture is inhumane. While guilty of probably breaking the Geneva convention, Taqueria El Asador provided generous portions of each ingredient, and made me happy I ordered the extra tortilla per taco. It's like having a bonus today once you're finished with the original!First off.... The lingua.... Oh my lord! So I'm a widow, a very young widow. There's certain things you miss as a widow. The cure... Eating a lingua supreme taco with the salsas and a jalapeno. The flavor, texture, experience, of eating this particular taco was a delight for the senses. It sent a shiver of delight through me, eyes rolled back in my head, and I'm not responsible for the sound of approval that escaped my mouth. No one heard it though, as they were currently immersed in their own culinary delights.My mom is a huge fan of pintos and also of pork within her Mexican dishes. She was pleased by both and Said they were the best she's ever had. Both children finished their burritos, which is a feat as they're at a stage in development where everything is gross unless it comes from a box or a can, and creative culinary experiences go over their heads. The steak was tender and delicious, and had my kids hunting around through their fallen morsels that escaped the burritos for more.So tldr of this experience: lingua was incredible, will be ordering stupid amounts of this again. Pork, beans, and steak, all Delicious too. Salsas, rice, and other "others" complimented the meats beautifully. I will be coming back over and over.Thank you for being a home away from home!”

“Enjoy coming in there to get cookies ?, it’s a great gift ? for someone as well , and they are big enough where you can cut them and enjoy later in the day or share with a spouse with tea or coffee , everyone is nice and welcoming , the place is very clean , the cookies taste great and I love they always have a big ”

“We love coastal it's always a great time! So many beer selections and always have new ones coming out. The beer pretzel is da bomb so get it. Not the pretzel bites but the big one. Mac and cheese is delicious as well! So much for the kids to do and always have live music! Karyn is amazing (as always) and Gabriel was our server today and he did a great job! Great staff all around.”
“Lunch at Four Seasons today was a treat. We randomly found this place in downtown Pensacola on a day trip. The staff was friendly and welcoming. The gumbo’s silky texture and perfect seasonings was delicious. The fried chicken was done to perfection. The coleslaw, gouda mac and cheese, and turmeric pasta salads each had their own distinctive flavors that would make any of them a great side choice. What makes this charming little eatery so good is the detail that goes into each dish that we tried.”
“The baba ganoush had awesome flavor. The pita bread was fluffy, but grilled to perfection. We also had the Gyro Wrap. It had a large amount of melt in your mouth gyro meat, onions, lettuce, and the perfect amount of tzatziki sauce. Best in town. We will definitely be back.”

“Dined here last night on fairly short notice. The hostess was able to accommodate us. Eric was our server and gave us some of the best service we’ve ever had at a restaurant. Food was creative and amazing!!”
“When you have a server like Pete working, you know the good and service will be outstanding. All protein is locally sourced, and all salsas/sauces that accompany some dishes are only made when the order is placed. I'm definitely looking forward to visiting again.”
“We had the most wonderful experience tonight while dining in. We started with a little bit of a wait, about an hour, but with the views and areas to walk around, it was no problem for 5 adults and 5 kids. The food was beyond amazing! The service was spot on and Sam was absolutely killer with dealing with all of the kids, four of which are 5 and under! It was clear she really cared. Holy smokes was the food good!!! Between the fish tacos, the grits, and the blackened tuna I had for an appetizer, I haven’t ate so good in my life!! I can’t wait to come back!! These guys are really GREAT!”
Outdoor Dining
“Love Buzzed Brew! My favorite coffee shop in town. Unique flavors monthly & themed coffee flights. The baristas truly care if you enjoy your drink - they have offered to remake me anything I wanted to try if I wasn’t satisfied (unnecessary because every drink has been great!). Highly recommend. I visit almost weekly and I live 25 minutes across town.”
“I love the flora bama yacht club! I ate there last week and i had the ahi tuna nachos and they were fabulous. Patrise got me to try the bushwacker with a peanut butter topper and wow!! Excellent service! Thanks! I will be back.”
“Love the fact that the entire facility is gluten free. Cute location. Good coffee. But wasn't blown away by cornmeal waffles. Just different and a little heavy. My favorite one was the one with cherry tomatoes and pimento cheese. GF husband said the blueberry muffin was good.”
“Everything I've ever gotten at Grovers has been amazing. The staff is great and there's a reason that there's usually a long wait on the weekends. It's because it's worth the wait”
“Dined here last night on fairly short notice. The hostess was able to accommodate us. Eric was our server and gave us some of the best service we’ve ever had at a restaurant. Food was creative and amazing!!”
“Fantastic service!! Out of this world amazing, delicious burgers!! Stupendous service!! A MUST for my husband and I when we're in town!! Love Brown Bagger!! ❤️”
“I work for G&G and I don't have time to wait all day sitting in the restaurant trying to get something to eat. When I come down here I have my food in less than 5 minutes, And the food is good. Definitely recommend coming by to try the food.”
“Yesterday on Dec 27th, 2022 my wife and I met a friend for coffee. Makers was recommended by this friend David Harvitz since he personally knows the owners of this local coffee shop. First of all, the coffee was incredible! I loved that there were non-dairy options on milk or creamer as my wife has a dairy allergy/sensitivity. We had the Mocha. Uh-mazing. Also, I LOVE the atmosphere. This is a gorgeous downtown shop and I couldn’t love it more. Third, it’s family friendly in the sense that my wife and I brought our 5 month old daughter with us and while there saw at least two other couples with bucket babies. Nobody once gave us a dirty look like “get that kid out of here.” All in all 5 stars from me. I have lived in Tulsa OK since 2012, but I’m a Pensacola native and I’m proud to say that Makers is an awesome coffee place in my home town. Best of luck to you in this brand new store. You’re going to kill it!!”
“Love love this place. We arrived at 3:30 (30mins) before closing & Coco was so helpful & didn’t rush us. Took the time to talk with us & let us know not to rush. Definitely would recommend this gem sandwich bar. 5stars!!”
“I personally LOVE Thai food! This was my first time here, so I ordered the red curry with chicken, Thai tea, roti, and fish cakes. The red curry, roti, and Thai tea were absolutely delicious. Probably could eat the combination on a daily basis. The fish cakes were also good, but they are for sure going to be a personal preference try. Overall, they were not all expensive which made the experience even better. All in all, this is for sure worth a try!”
“Looks like a shack but awesome bbq. The meat is smoked with sauce on the side. Their house sauce has a little kick. Burnt ends are the star but all is so very good. It is seasonal so might be gone soon but the pumpkin cream pie was amazing.”
“When you have a server like Pete working, you know the good and service will be outstanding. All protein is locally sourced, and all salsas/sauces that accompany some dishes are only made when the order is placed. I'm definitely looking forward to visiting again.”
“Absolutely delicious and mouth watering food! We just recently visited for the first time this past weekend and we cannot wait to go back! Adorable little place with such a calm vibe! Outdoor seating option is a great bonus!”
“I've been a hot dog connoisseur for over 15 years now and I cannot speak highly enough of this place. They have hands down the best wiener money can buy out side of Chip and Dales. BUT Thats not what im hear to talk about. For the first time in 3 years of eating lunch here once a week( #11 and #13 with fries), I did not get a glizzy. I went with a burger. Now not only does this place have the best hot dog money can buy, but this burger just slapped The Burger King, and that clown at McDonalds on the rear like a drunk little league coach. This burger has been there and done that. Twice. Once they mastered the art of dog They looked at a bacon cheeseburger and thought "That's far to many steps" so instead of placing bacon on top, THEY INFUSED IT INTO PATTY. Other than turning water into wine, the Dog house has hands down the most extensive break though in culinary arts sense the slicing of bread. Family owned and operated, I cannot reccommend them enough.”
“The staff here is great. Can’t say enough. Always a great experience at Pacific Kava Bar! Make sure you stop by and have a few shells, fill up a growler or pick up a bag of Calm to go! Ma’a lahi!”
“Great high end steak house. Staff was highly attentive and pushed the line of passionate. Diner was expensive but worth it. Steaks were exactly as ordered and sides were competitive for the best tastes offered.Kid-friendliness: Do not bring children”
“I haven't eaten here yet. I lived in Naples, Italy for 4 years. I can tell from the menu and pictures alone that this restaurant is legit. I felt compelled to leave a 5 star review because of the first couple 1 star reviews I read. Those people are clearly entitled jerks who think that spending money on fine dining gives them the right to be obnoxious. I'm the yang to their yin. I can't wait to eat here.”
“We LOVE this restaurant. Food, is always Fresh and delicious. The waiter we always ask for is Marshall, he is such a nice guy. Hard working, friendly. He really cares about the people he serves. Not to mention he is HOTT. Mallory”

“Wow, wow, wow, amazing food! I had no idea when I pulled up what I was in for. This little gem is a must. The food was amazing, I had the Berria tacos plate. Salsa was great, and the staff was just so nice and accommodating. Do yourself a favor and stop in.”
“We had there wings and split a burger. The food was amazing burger was well cooked and not at all dry. The wings were amazing the meat fell off the bone. The service was great too our server Nick check in and made sure we always had what we needed. My son’s was touring a local college and this place made on his pro and con list as one of the pros.”

“A great place to get an interesting, delicious meal. They always have good vegan options for those who are so inclined. The vegan charcuterie blew my mind; asked the waitress several times if she didn’t get me the standard one by mistake.”
“April 2024 - Paid another visit. Two of us the crab cake sandwiches (very filling), and my friend's wife raved about the fried green tomatoes. One shortcoming: Limited selection of full-bodied mainstream American beer such as Budweiser, PBR, Rolling Rock, Miller, or Busch. All but two were "light or "craft" varieties. A special nod to our server Logan who was especially well-informed about menu and drink selections.April, 2023 - I've lived nearby for over 20 years. Took a good friend - who was visiting - there for lunch. Top notch food... and paragon service from Penny.”
“Went to eat there Friday night and we were pleased. I had the lamb chops which were some of the best I’ve ever had. They were very tender and the spice was perfect. Highly recommend. I’ve had lamb chops at every nice restaurant in town and these are by far the best. They were cooked to a little more than medium temperature but it did not matter with the tenderness and flavor. We also had the butter chicken and tikka masala. The naan orders were large and very tasty. I also tried an Indian beer which was surprisingly good.”
“Just tried for the first time today and was floored by the completely elevated experience. We had the best sushi we have ever had (and they even had gluten free soy sauce and gluten free options marked on menu), great view of the gulf, and Leslie provided us with some of the best service we have received anywhere since moving here over a year ago. We live in Foley but this is our new favorite- can’t see us ordering sushi anywhere else now.Dietary restrictions: Excellent place if you are gluten free and on the hunt for some amazing sushi. They have gluten free soy sauce upon request and have CLEARLY marked what rolls are gluten free on the menu.”
“This was our first time at 86 Forks, and really impressed. We got the pork ramen noodle bowl - this was definitely top notch (we've enjoyed our fair share of ramen at various places). Also had the chicken BAO BAO, new to us but we loved it. Cocktail was also great. Service was very friendly and nice. All around a great place on all fronts. Highly recommend!”
“The food was PHENOMENAL and the prices were excellent! I had the lamb vindaloo and it was one of the best plates of food I've had in a long time. I had the scotch egg as an appetizer and it was equally impressive. Peyton, our server, was attentive, quick, friendly, and knowledgeable!”
“Go upstairs!!! This has a laid-back atmosphere with live music and excellent service!! The decor is beautiful and food was tasty!!! Happy hour appetizers are delicious!!! There was a man playing an acoustic guitar...very nice!!!”

“The Waffle House we stumbled upon on the way back from Pensacola turned out to be a gem. Our waitress, Gina, was a real character, cracking jokes and keeping the mood light. The food was delicious, and it was easily one of the best Waffle Houses I've ever been to. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, making our meal incredibly enjoyable. If you're in the area, don't hesitate to stop by for a great dining experience.”
“Friendly waitress that I had and I noticed all the waitresses worked together and being a former waffle House employee that makes things run so smoother. My food came out much faster, too. My favorite waffle House.”
“Great atmosphere, music and food... the entire staff are very friendly and helpful to all your needs... looking forward to what's in store for the upcoming super bowl... I'm sure it will be top notch as always... hope to see you there come one come all...”
“We went to this location this morning. And, to be honest the wait from time of ordering to actually receiving the food was pretty exaggerated... But.. apparently the wait was worth it. We had the best Omelets, best pancakes we have had anywhere in Pensacola.. Our Compliments to the Chef, the Cook, the Sous Chef and the waitress that brought it out. I believe her name was Fonda, sweet girl... doing all she could do to keep customers happy.”
“We were pleasantly surprised to find The Bistro in our hotel. The burger and fries were as good, if not better than most restaurants. After driving all day it made our day being able to enjoy good food and a beer without having to leave the hotel.”
“We are from out of town and brought a large party. Our waitress was the absolute best we have probably ever had. Alexis is amazing. She took such great care of us and we didn’t even have to ask for anything. She anticipated our needs and was so sweet and patient with my kids. You guys have a gem with her! Thank you for a wonderful breakfast experience!”
“I have been to many waffle Houses and this one is the best food is perfect everytime the customer service is the best in town I have to mention Terrie is the best and so is Chris they are great. The cooks are friendly and the food they serve is always delicious can't wait to go again soon.”

“My wife and I had a fantastic dinner last night. Megan was our server, and she was a rock star! She took care of our every need with a smile on her face and witty conversation. I had the Ribeye Mac & Cheese, and my wife had the Lasagna. We love Bonelli's, fantastic scratch-made Italian food and great service. Best restaurant in town!”

“Food that is all lovingly prepared from scratch. The tortillas are the best we have ever had. The chorizo is a revelation. Served in an immaculate dining room by the friendliest staff around. This place is super special!”
“Delicious frozen delights! So many flavors and toppings to choose from. Everyone was super friendly and the place was very clean. I recommend the Dole Whip and the New York style cheesecake. So yummy!”
“I never write reviews but i loved this little shop so much i wanted to tell the world. I'm in town visiting, and a friend recommended this place to me. The building is so beautiful I didn't believe it was the right store. Went into the shop fell in love with the atmosphere. The young girl working behind the counter recommended pistachio and I was quick to judge negatively - only to be proven wrong! Highly recommend this for a date spot or little private hangout.”
“I have to agree with all the other reviews - this is the absolute best ice cream you will find anywhere in the area. My kids love Pelican Poo and my wife and I like to try something different every time we come (everything has been delicious but our favorites are the mint chocolate chip and the spiced chocolate). Highly encourage everyone to try this place, you won’t be disappointed!”
“Great food, great staff and very generous portions. We have been going here at least once a week for a few months and it never disappoints. Food tastes very fresh and authentic. Highly recommend”

“We stopped in for lunch today and couldn’t be happier with our decision! We got the Warm roll, a cold roll and the lobster bisque. Everything was fantastic and I haven’t had such AMAZING customer service in a long time. We can’t wait to go back!”
“If you love seafood then this is your place. Fresh local seafood.This place makes a Red Lobster look like a soup kitchen.You will not be disappointed when you come here”
“A food truck in Pensacola that serves smash burgers + loaded fries/tater tots!??Public Affairs has a unique menu set up where you can choose between loaded fries or loaded tater tots and have that as your entree (fries + tots come as sides for the entrees as well)!Atmosphere: Located outside of Doc’s Hop Shop, the food truck stands out with its bright blue exterior and large size! It is undeniably the largest food truck I’ve been to in Pensacola, so you can’t miss it!Service: The worker helped answer my questions and gave me a full run down of the differences in the choices I was looking at. I also had the opportunity to meet the owner—he was sociable and kind and made sure to greet any customers that came by! Service is a big aspect for me at any dining experience, and they showed that they truly care about their customers!Menu items: I got their K-Poppers Loaded Fries—WOW! The chicken on top was so tender and juicy with the perfect amount of flavor that enhanced the bed of fries it sat on. I also got their P.A. Smash Burger and have it in my top 5 places in Pensacola to recommend for people to try!They also serve four other unique menu items: Char Sui Rice Bowl, (Vegan) Char Sui, Vietnamese Pho Dip Hoagie, and Hot Honey Chicken! The menu is a little more on the pricey side, but the food is worth it!???”
“New morning staple! Their iced coffee is delicious (not bitter like most) and their breakfast tacos are the perfect, easy breakfast., and their mini doughnuts are bomb! 10/10!”
“First time! Love it! We will come back for sure. We felt so welcomed. All staff was full of smiles and always willing to help. Our server was Hailey M she just a doll. Thank you hun for your hospitality. Oh let's not forget the closest thing to heaven is The Cinnamon Roll French Toast. Is OMG Good!”
“We ordered Chrisoulas mini cheesecakes for our wedding dessert and our guests loved them! This is a local small business run by a very sweet husband/wife team that took their time with us to make sure everything would turn out perfect. They have a great selection of flavors and offer many different sizes. I’ve had their cheesecake many times prior to our wedding and they never disappoint. Highly recommend!!”
“We dropped in on a whim, based on a google search for restaurants nearby. As we drove up, we were considering vetoing the stop, as the neighborhood is a bit questionable, but the Star Trek emblem sealed the deal and we knew we had to stay. What a cool hole in the wall! The lighting is entirely red, which takes a bit of adjustment, but the pizza was tasty and the service was great. Tabitha took great care of us, as well and Mary and Mary Catherine. Thanks ladies! Quirky and cool. So nerdy! Loved it!”
“Chicken Peato Hash is pretty good, so is the Buiscut and Turkey gravy. Had the Chickichanga today based on the waiters recommendation. It was also pretty tasty. Service is friendly and pretty fast.”

“Just tried for the first time today and was floored by the completely elevated experience. We had the best sushi we have ever had (and they even had gluten free soy sauce and gluten free options marked on menu), great view of the gulf, and Leslie provided us with some of the best service we have received anywhere since moving here over a year ago. We live in Foley but this is our new favorite- can’t see us ordering sushi anywhere else now.Dietary restrictions: Excellent place if you are gluten free and on the hunt for some amazing sushi. They have gluten free soy sauce upon request and have CLEARLY marked what rolls are gluten free on the menu.”
“This was our first time at 86 Forks, and really impressed. We got the pork ramen noodle bowl - this was definitely top notch (we've enjoyed our fair share of ramen at various places). Also had the chicken BAO BAO, new to us but we loved it. Cocktail was also great. Service was very friendly and nice. All around a great place on all fronts. Highly recommend!”
Drive-Thru Restaurants
“The coffees and smoothies we ordered was tops! Small coffee shops like this care more of quality than chain shops. The staff was friendly, accomodating, and gave great suggestions for family activities in the area.”
“Went through drive-through on a Saturday and got a cheeseburger, fries, and a drink. They got us through the quickly, and the food was fantastic. Absolutely recommend if you're craving a good ”
“Hands down the best service, nicest staff, tastiest brews and efficient drive thru service in all of the area! The baristas remember you too! My favorite coffee in Pensacola!”
“Got to visit Ms. Sevi at her NEW coffee shop, Alla Prima Coffee, today! We had the honey rosemary iced latte, hot chocolate, and chocolate croissant. So so yummy, sweet staff and owner, and cool atmosphere. Check it out! ❤️”
“Never heard of this place before today. Had a Doordash order and decided to get a coffee....the lady recommended the Ben franklin....It was absolutely delicious. I'll be back”
“I recently ordered a takeout order. I arrived on time to receive my order. It took the person delivering it to me THREE tries to get the right order. I said my name clearly every time and they still got it wrong the first two times. That wasnt as big an issue as the latter. There was an accident on my way home but when I finally did get to my order.... For starters, I received the wrong bun for my sandwich. I ordered garlic bread rather than the normal bun but did not receive it. I also had fries and the southern eggrolls. The fries were just BARELY cooked enough to be considered fries. They were very hard and not fluffy at all. The eggrolls were extremely soft and did not have a single crunch to them. I have heard that this restaurant has gone down and I didnt believe it because sonnys used to be good but now; that is clearly the case. Fries not fully cooked and eggrolls are as soft as mashed potatoes. Its a shame because back in the day, they used to be good. Do not recommend.”
“We are native New Orleanians and have lived here over 36 years. GRRRRRREAT crawfish (in season) but the Snow crabs and shrimp combo (with butter, garlic and Cajun seasoning-mild) is superb”
“This place is actually pretty good. I don't eat fast food much, but they're steak burgers, and thin, crispy fries are definitely better than others. I love fresh crispy fries, and Freddy's is always that. They also have a veggie burger, which is a plus for those who are vegan/vegetarian. We also want to point out that they had a drive thru employee who served us and he was amazing. We forgot his name but he seemed to have a lisp or had a stutter. Either way, he did great and he was very friendly. Wish we remembered his name but we were there a while ago, I just now remembered to do this review.”
“I didn't visit this place but was in the parking lot across the street eating my lunch and watching the constant ebb and flow of the customers and Chick filet delivery vehicles they're doing great business if you like chicken. I don't.”
“First off, our waitress, Hailey, was phenomenal. She was friendly, polite, and professional. She was knowledgeable about the menu. She also takes great care of her customers.The food selection and taste were great. There is plenty of seating. It's definitely worth the visit. Make sure to get Hailey as the waitress.”
“Great shop to work for a little while enjoying delicious ? coffee ☕! Service was great and many comfy places to sit and relax. Also, they even have a selection of books ? (didn't get to take a look at those, this time ). All in all, great 1st visit!”
“Stopped here for a quick dinner. Never had it before. I own Smashburger in Destin, which to me is the best burger. However, this garlic double burger was great. Fries were decent. Price is hard to beat. Hunter provided a great service. Well done all the way around. Now I need to build one of these in Destin.”
“Coming from a big city like Dallas i am used to some really good Pho. I got the VN coffee and it was really sweet for my taste. The pho was ok, it wasn't bad but it wasn't on the really good side neither. The broth was good. The slices of meat was really thin. I got the large which was almost $17 and it was probably a medium compared to big city pho. My son got the rice plate and that's his favorite go to meal. He said that was his least favorite plate that he has ever had. Overall after speaking with everyone it was mixed reviews. It was definitely a 3 star situation. We spent nearly $70 for 3 people because we all got drinks. Definitely on the higher side of things compared to the portion but that's subjective. I'm including pics so you can make the decision.”
“Took the kids today for our 1st time. Middle of the day on a Sat and we were the only ones there,and we spent a good hour. no music playing just dead quiet until my kids jumped in the sprinkle pool. I think music playing would help, and a little friendlier staff. A woman came from a back room when we arrived and seem to rush us up to get back to what she was doing. I explained it was our 1st time and she disregarded it and didn't welcome us. as soon as my card to pay clear she disappeared again. My kids loved the ice cream and the photo booths/sprinkles. That part was fun! I highly suggest music for quiet times so the customers don't feel odd when the only people in there.. also a more welcoming staff.”
“All stars because of Dakota R. Sweetest most amazing server and person I have ever met in food industries. The vibes he puts out definitely goes a long way for others ?”
“The food was PHENOMENAL and the prices were excellent! I had the lamb vindaloo and it was one of the best plates of food I've had in a long time. I had the scotch egg as an appetizer and it was equally impressive. Peyton, our server, was attentive, quick, friendly, and knowledgeable!”
“Nick is the absolute man, made my experience top notch. Informed me on cool stuff around the the city. Will be coming back to see because of his awesome service!”
“Got to visit Ms. Sevi at her NEW coffee shop, Alla Prima Coffee, today! We had the honey rosemary iced latte, hot chocolate, and chocolate croissant. So so yummy, sweet staff and owner, and cool atmosphere. Check it out! ❤️”
Cheap Eats
“This place is awesome!!! Every business around here should be as lively and friendly as Maynard's. My husband was also impressed with the fresh quality of the food and fantastic bubbly service. I'll be stopping in whenever i'm in the area for sweets, treats and speciality drinks.”
“We ordered Pad Thai and Drunk Noodles. Fried tofu well they have it. I had Chicken, Shrimp and fried tofu drunk noodles. They gave me enough for three people. My wife had the Pad Thai. Same with hers. The flavor was outstanding and big pieces of chicken. We will be going back.”
“The atmosphere is comfortable, the staff very friendly and the food was fantastic! But that kitchen, so fast! I don't think it took 5 minutes from ordering to eating.”
“What a perfect name for this restaurant! We just had dinner here and it was so good!! The mofongo & pernil were perfect. The portions are big! We brought home half of our meals. Also the owners/staff were friendly and you can tell they take pride in their food and want you to be happy. All around, great vibes. We will be back!”
“We ate dinner there tonight and our waitress was wonderful. I can’t remember her name, but she was wearing green tennis shoes and she had blue nail polish. She was new she told us, but she was very attentive and very determined. She may not have thought she did a good job, but she did a FANTASTIC job serving us. She’s an awesome human being and I hope that she sees this review. Just wanted to let her know that we see you, God sees you, and your customers appreciate your dedication and hard work. Keep up the great work young lady. AWESOME! Food was great too by the way!”
“This place is nestled right in the neighborhood and is so much fun - small space inside but the friendliness of staff and ample outdoor seating (with fire pits) make for the BEST time! Food trucks around & tons of craft beer selections - great, great time had.”
“I ordered a birthday cake for my friends suprise 40th birthday. Her favorite cake favors were butter pecan and lemon. The cake was the best cake that all of the guest have tasted. It was moist, delicious and extremely flavorful.”
“Polite staff. Good beers. Cornhole and other fun games provided. Nice garden. Heaters and most of the outdoor tqbles. We'll be coming back here over and over once we move here next year.”
“My family and I had an amazing breakfast there this morning. Food came out quick and was super yummy! Not to mention I’m extremely picky with how I like my Bloody Mary’s and theirs was first rate. Staff was super friendly. I highly recommend this place.”
“If you like Philadelphia sandwich shops, this is for you. No frills, strip mall cheesesteak and hoagie shop. Great lunch crowd at 11:30am on a Friday. Ordered at the counter and it was ready in less than 10min. Grew up in Philadelphia, wasn't disappointed. Next time I'll add extra cheese to steak, but Hoagie was on point. Can't wait to go back for a cheesesteak hoagie!”
“Tried this place for the first time today. Our server was nice, and very helpful. We had Sesame Chicken, Beef Stir Fry Noodles, Spring Rolls, and Krab Rangoons. Everything was delicious! My only complaint is that all of the drinks are in a bottle, they don't have fountain drinks, so you can't get a drink refill, unless you purchase another bottle. I found that very odd. Other then that, it's my new favorite place to get chinese food! We will definitely be back here again!”
“Odd Colony is the best brewery in town! You instantly feel that good energy when you walk through the door. The owners and staff are warm, welcoming and always greets you with a smile. The beer is the best in town and brewed with the finest ingredients and the atmosphere is well designed, cozy and comfortable.”
“We love stopping by and seeing Patty and Mike! Good bands but not over the top loud where you can't talk. And super friendly bartenders who will never let you go thirsty!! Great having a local establishment!”
“We love Foosackly's, and this was our first visit to this location. The food is great, comes out fast, and is quite cheap. We're accustomed to the location we've been to many times in Auburn, Alabama, and it runs super smooth. We were given a different number than our order actually was given, so the employees had trouble finding us. We also saw this happening with other orders throughout our time inside eating. Still great food that we always look forward to when we're near a Foosackly's.”
“Goat Lips? AWESOME!!! All around WONDERFUL!!! The food! The beer selection! The music! The service! The atmosphere! Really the BEST! I shouldn’t tell cause they always have the perfect crowd too! It’s pretty amazing! And the talent of the musicians… gee gads… they must just not want to be famous!”
“Pensacola Bay Brewery is a must-visit destination for beer enthusiasts in Pensacola! The brewery offers a diverse selection of handcrafted beers, each brewed with precision and bursting with flavor.

“Go upstairs!!! This has a laid-back atmosphere with live music and excellent service!! The decor is beautiful and food was tasty!!! Happy hour appetizers are delicious!!! There was a man playing an acoustic guitar...very nice!!!”
“The food is fresh and excellent. They use high quality ingredients and you can taste it. The hibachi chef was skilled and put on a good show. I definitely recommend checking them out.Parking: It’s a bit difficult to find the parking lot entrance.”
“Randomly stopped here and found the most delicious beer as well as amazing food truck (located out back). It’s dog friendly with a great outdoor area and indoor space. All the beers we had were great!”
“Service was awesome and everything we had was delicious. Charcuterie, goat cheese, truffle fries, pasta, and cheesecake were all amazing. Will definitely be back!”
“I am addicted to their feta fries which are crispy and savory with creamy feta to top it off. Their chicken is smokey and a perfect compliment to the Greek foods it is served in.”
“We came for the Nutcracker tea and it was phenomenal! my wife has read British literature since she was very young and has always imagined what this would be like. We will definitely be repeat customers.”

Ichiban
“Though the wait can be long, the food pays off tenfold. Authentic Japanese and other East Asian food is hard to do right, but Ichiban has it in the bag. Their Chicken Yakisoba is to die for, and there simply isn't a bad item on the menu. Dinner with family is done right when it's at Ichiban.Parking: Parking lot can get congested in the evening because it is shared with many other places of business”
“This is one of the friendliest places I've ever been. Had a great time, met some really nice people, had great service from Becka, the KJ Kim, ran a perfect show and the food was good.Unfortunately, I only ordered the fried mushrooms and they were good. Though I did remove the breading. Almost everything on the menu was breaded and fried. Not really my cuppa tea.I'll return...after I eat first... ?”

“We are native New Orleanians and have lived here over 36 years. GRRRRRREAT crawfish (in season) but the Snow crabs and shrimp combo (with butter, garlic and Cajun seasoning-mild) is superb”
“Love the food! I'm so glad we don't have to drive to the beach to get Pappas Pizza. It is so convenient on Garden and Jefferson with a little bit of off-street parking. A little bit of good parking is better than none. Awesome food, awesome staff.”
“My fiancé and I went to Restaurant Nola for dinner and it was fantastic! Their iced coffee was meh, but the food was delicious! I had the Pasta NOLA, which was so flavorful with a little bit of spice. I also had hushpuppies. The sauce for the hushpuppies is so good, and is also good on the sweet potato waffle fries. My fiancé had grouper, crab, and seafood gumbo. He loved all of it. I ate his coleslaw and it was really good. We got beignets for dessert, which were delicious. Our server, Blake, was great! We highly recommend Restaurant NOLA and will be back :)”
“I've eaten here a couple of times before, and my experience was great. However, on this particular Sunday, my experience was AMAZING! They have an April Special, and it included 3 pre-selected items, and you could choose one more. We added some crawfish to it. Our choice of seasoning was ALL of them. It might be called House Seasoning or Red Crab House Seasoning. Whatever the name is, we loved it! As you can see by the pictures, it's more than enough for 2 people, literally 3 or 4 could eat from it. THEY DID AN AMAZING JOB! Customer service is always good. We will definitely be going back & we don't even live in Pensacola!!”
“I had order the fish tacos and was very disappointed. There was about 2 inches of fish in a 6 inch tortilla. I was extremely disappointment. management made it right. I love Bone Fish Grill. The service is always above the others. thanks Doug!”
“Dueling Piano show is our favorite date night activity. We have seen the show several times and absolutely love it. We are impressed every time & since it's a "by request" show, it's different every time.”
“The German Chocolate cake is to die for!The German meatballs are magic!Add these two with a nice German Lager = =)I only regret not ordering more cake, I can say it is the best I ever had! And that's saying a lot because I am a lifelong fatboy!”
“I’ve only visited Sushi Mass twice and the time gap between both visits is by years, but don’t let that say anything bad. Both times I’ve been I have loved the food and enjoyed myself. The atmosphere is amazing and calm, a perfect sit down lunch/dinner. I’d honestly let the time gap show that the quality has always been there and I think I’ve found my new favorite place. I sadly lost my mom in 2022 and she didn’t care for Japanese food but my dad does, we’ve been looking for places to eat other than our norm and they fit the bill. Literally! We had the all you can eat lunch menu and literally paid the same we would at a steakhouse or even Applebees! Can’t beat that plus the atmosphere and customer service outranks all in my opinion.”
“I love this little restaurant!!! My fiancé and I had the chicken pho along with the fried wontons and the spring rolls. Food is awesome, the plates are so cute, and the decor too. The service is always good and staff are very friendly! :) if you love Vietnamese food you will love this place!”
“This authentic Island food will have you coming back for more. With options for vegan and mild seasonings, my family was able to enjoy a variety of food! You will not be disappointed, I have tried something new every time I go in. And nothing has disappointed me.”
“This is absolutely an amazing place to eat ! Great food nice service from the owner he made you feel so welcome! Prices can’t beat ! Love Love Love the food & atmosphere! Best wings I’ve had !!!”

Flip-n-Yaki
“ATTENTION GYM-GOERS!!! This place has great portion sizes, protein selection, and a great price point. the Chicken Kabob over rice is $7!!! 7 freaking dollars! I mean it’s probably a quarter pound of fresh marinated chicken over white rice and it’s your perfect go to pre-workout or after workout meal. The food is always steaming hot, the service is fast and efficient, and the food quality is always too notch. I’m not sure what else you could ask from a local food truck establishment. I’m telling you, you can not go wrong trying this place, and i guarantee after you do, you’ll be going back at least once a week like me. This is my new favorite quick lunch spot without a doubt!”

The Burrow
“Stopped by after dinner downtown to try their cocktails and was not disappointed. I had the classic daiquiri while boyfriend got the toasted marshmallow rum sour. He was really impressed and wants to come back to try it again. The ambience was amazing, can’t wait to come back during the day and sit outside and try some of the food!”
“It had been many of years since I have been til this trip. Now I wonder why we don't go every time we are in the area. Food was great. Service was great. Will definitely be visiting more often.”

“Staff are great. Sunday Chic Drag Show is a great afternoon. Dirty Bingo and Karaoke are good times to be downtown. The bar is in a wonderful OLD building with great atmosphere.”
“We met friends at Kohn's before a show at the Sanger Theater. We didn't feel like sushi that night so I ordered my favorite, the Panang Curry bowl (GF) and my mate thoroughly enjoyed the Sesame Chicken Salad. Both had excellent presentation and flavors. We also enjoyed the exceptionally curated cocktails. Worth the wait. Cheers!”

“The Cucumber Cooler drink and Smoked Tuna Dip are absolute must haves!! The Miso soup was amazing, and the TNT, Crunchy Shrimp, Crunchy Tuna, Rock n’ Roll, and Big Papi sushi rolls were delicious! Our server Hannah took such great care of us, it was overall a great restaurant experience! We will definitely be back in the future!”
“We had a great date night with exceptional food and service. The atmosphere was lovely. I recommend the mussels as an appetizer. The swordfish with risotto was delicious. I usually order the chicken parmesan which is very good as well.”

Clean Eatz
“I started stopping in and getting about 10 meals a week to take to work and I always grab different ones. Great selection, I haven't had a bad one yet! They're delicious and super convenient! I have only bought the pre packaged frozen meals, but I can imagine the dine in food has to be great too. Staff is always friendly!”
“Thank you SO much to Michael for being so helpful! He took the time to answer my questions and ask what I liked so he could recommend a smoothie and it turned out to be perfect. I’ll definitely be back and recommending The Daily Squeeze to my friends. Ask for Michael!!!”
“What a wonderful experience this was. I have never eaten at a fondue place and this was absolutely amazing. Our server was Brandon and he was fabulous. He was extremely knowledgeable very friendly and all in all gave us five star service. We will definitely be back.”
“Went for dinner, had a great experience. We joined the online wait list and didn’t have to wait more than 10 minutes at 6:30 on a Saturday night. Our server, Bri was fantastic. Fast, friendly, attentive. Steak was cooked perfectly and was delicious! We will definitely be back, this was the best longhorn experience we’ve probably ever had.”
“Favorite dining spot in Pensacola. The seafood specials never disappoint, and you can get a decent steak without going broke. Service is always pleasant and efficient with an atmosphere of local comfort sans touristy noise. We always look forward to the next visit!!”
“The fried shrimp plate is DEE-LISCIOUS! Hush puppies, fries and cole slaw are excellent. Prices are super reasonable. The staff at this restaurant has ALWAYS been friendly, respectful and professional. I very strongly recommend this place. Hey, Sam's!...Build one out here in Pace, please. Thank you.”
“Got the ountry fried steak with potatoes and eggs extra gravy everything was very well cooked s. The seasonings was perfect the waitress was amazing and the atmosphere is very relaxed I will most definitely be coming ”
“My husband knows I can’t start my day without an awesome cup of coffee so he surprised me with several of Potter’s Coffee blends for Christmas. I tried the Brazilian Medium Roast first and it is Amazing! Can’t wait to try the others! Thank you for helping me get my day off to a good start! With the Good Lord and this Amazing Coffee there is no such thing as a bad day!”
“Great atmosphere, music and food... the entire staff are very friendly and helpful to all your needs... looking forward to what's in store for the upcoming super bowl... I'm sure it will be top notch as always... hope to see you there come one come all...”
“We had the most wonderful experience tonight while dining in. We started with a little bit of a wait, about an hour, but with the views and areas to walk around, it was no problem for 5 adults and 5 kids. The food was beyond amazing! The service was spot on and Sam was absolutely killer with dealing with all of the kids, four of which are 5 and under! It was clear she really cared. Holy smokes was the food good!!! Between the fish tacos, the grits, and the blackened tuna I had for an appetizer, I haven’t ate so good in my life!! I can’t wait to come back!! These guys are really GREAT!”
“I recently had the pleasure of dining at Rodizio Grill, and I must say, it was an absolutely fantastic experience. From the moment I walked in, I was greeted warmly by the friendly and attentive staff. The ambiance was cozy and inviting, and the decor was tasteful and well thought out. But the real star of the show was the food. The quality of the meats was superb, and each cut was cooked to perfection. The flavors were bold and delicious, and I found myself going back for seconds (and even thirds!) of my favorites. The salad bar was also impressive, with a wide variety of fresh and tasty options to choose from. What really set Rodizio Grill apart, however, was the service. Our server was knowledgeable, attentive, and went above and beyond to ensure that our dining experience was exceptional. From recommendations on which meats to try, to keeping our drinks topped up, our server was the epitome of excellent service. Overall, I would highly recommend Rodizio Grill to anyone looking for a top-notch dining experience. The combination of quality food, cozy ambiance, and exceptional service make it well worth a visit. Five stars all around!”
“The restaurant was clean, staff helpful and food amazing. Our 7-year-old had a great time. The staff was so helpful with getting us squared away. We will be going back!!!”
“Didn't eat. But atmosphere was great! Pool tables and karaoke, which was great to listen to. Sammi and the other bartenders were on point! Was greeted immediately after sitting at the bar. Cold drinks and great conversation at the bar! Highly recommended this place!”
“We lived in Naples, Italy (the birthplace of pizza) for several years and I can say this is the closest to real Neapolitan-style pizza you'll find anywhere in Pensacola!”
“Had very delicious Mujarro Fritas and Pombazo. Fried fish was crispy and very tasty. First time for Pombazzo but the sour cream and fresh cheese make a tangy good flavor - I liked Pombazo best with lime juice and tortilla. Food truck Guero is 1 block off the road in a residential neighborhood. Music and eating screened carport were pleasant background. Very nice!Wheelchair accessibility: Wood picnic Table outside on asphalt parking lot. Inside screened car port is flat but may need help getting over threshold.”
“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!”
“Service was slow. Food was good. It was a large crowd, but waitress forgot about us. Ate there before going to Rosie O'Grady's for dueling pianos. I would recommend this place if there was a party of four and not 10.”
“Went as a large group and the service & food was amazing! Everyone received their meal as ordered along with everyone else, no delays and everyone enjoyed their meal. Highly recommend this Carrabba's!”
“Absolutely LOVE Kalbi!! We have definitely become regulars! Love everything on the menu and the open bar! We appreciate this place SO MUCH!! Highly recommend giving it a try.”
“Some of the best sushi in town! Back again, We are part of a challenge to support local restaurants during this COVID-19 pandemic and y’all came up. And once again the food and service was outstanding!”
“The restaurant was very clean. The staff were attentive and the food was good ! We had a large party of 35 people - we called ahead the day before and had no problem being accommodated. When we arrived they had the whole back patio (private room) reserved for our family ! Our waiter and waitress were on point all evening ensuring everyone was taken care of the entire visit. My son’s 10th birthday was that night & the entire staff ensured he felt celebrated / special ! 10/10 recommend for large gatherings / parties !”
“I gave this place five stars because the food, service, and atmosphere were top tier. My friend also felt the same. We got a king crab boil and it was absolutely delicious and cooked perfectly. The king crab shell was soft, so it was a little hard to crack open, but other than that it was amazing. The best crab place we've been to in Pensacola. We got the medium garlic butter and Cajun seasonings as recommended by our waitress and it was perfect. The crab meat fries could've had more flavor, but even as leftovers they were still very satisfying. Honestly, I kind of wish I just dipped them in the crab seasonings. Will definitely be coming back in the future.”
“Upon entering, we were greeted by a waitress who was extremely pleasant and made our experience the best possible. She was happy to give us some time to order when we asked and even brought us more chips when we ate them all. Further, she was quick to provide refills when our drinks were empty and was just nice the whole time. The food was good and the chips were fresh. Bathrooms were also clean and the atmosphere was very peaceful”
“Their food is always fresh and delicious. it's also one of the few places we can get Saba. The service is always friendly. The restaurant is clean. in my opinion, it's better than any other sushi restaurant in Pensacola and we have eaten at them all.”
“My favorite place takeout and very friendly people. They put so much food on the plate that I have enough for leftovers the next day. I love this place and the people.”
“O'Riley's Uptown is one of my favorite places to go and hangout with my friends. There's good music always playing, there's a giant pool hall and the service is excellent! Outside you can play corn hole or smoke a cigarette and chat amongst your friends and sit in a booth. Overall uptown O'Reilly's is a popular Pensacola Favorite especially on Wednesdays this bar is packed!”
“Everything is very fresh, service is fast, and we are particularly fond of the lunch bento boxes at a reasonable price. It's quick to get to, too, being down the highway from Corry Field Navy Base. I see they also have call in/pick up! Hibachi is available daily after 4:30pm!”
“Miranda was my bartender and she was so kind and provided excellent service. My glass of wine was $2.50 and it was delicious. The lobster roll was the perfect serving size and very flavorful. Brandon shucked the oysters and made sure everyone felt welcome. Talking to them was like talking to a long time bestie. Will def be coming back.”
“We live eating here. Food is always excellent. The staff is so friendly. The chef is great. Love Sushi so much. Whole family does. If you don’t like Sushi the do have others things. Steak is always cooked like you want it.”
“Went for lunch on Valentine’s Day and my server, Lindsey, was AMAZING!!! Super attentive, very knowledgeable about the menu, very sweet and friendly, and very quick with refills and the check. 10/10 amazing service if you go here ask for her she will absolutely make your visit the best!”
“..... I feel so bloody guilty right now ,....! Because I just had of the best two deserts delivery could bring ,... yes - Lava Cake & Marble Brownies,... Jesum was that good ,.. ! Two thumbs up !,.. The only downside , I can’t eat anything tomorrow ,... lmao”
“Please give KK a promotion & a raise. It’s rare that you find the level of service she just gave me at a sandwhich shop but truly she turned around my whole day with her kind manner and gestures towards us. I am SO thankful for her amazing customer care today! Subs are always great here. Clean location.”
“Well going here, you usually want to order steak. I've been here on several occasions and every time my steak has not been to my like. On another note, the restaurant staff have alway made it right and we're very nice but sucks to have to wait while others in my party eat. Atmosphere is really good and plenty of tvs to watch games, sports or mma. Food is good don't get me wrong just steaks can't get it right. So I know just order the pork chor or chicken which is good.”
“I have to say it was the first time doing this. Was vary unsure about it but wanted to try it. It was vary vary good. I will be going back. We had the hotpot and it was just cool to get to talk and eat and talk. It would be a vary good place to take a date. You would learn alot and you get to eat. It was $29 each. I thought it was a little high but I would vary much do it again.”

“We were to thrilled to see so many gluten-free options for my husband who has celiac. The gluten-free hush puppies were awesome! We also tried the oysters with blue cheese and bacon jam that were good too. My husband had a filet with asparagus and mashed potatoes for his entree and I had the gluten-free seafood mac and cheese so he could try it as well. It was good but would have been better with the bacon fat bread crumbs that we had to leave off to make it gluten-free. We also had a gluten-free hot chocolate chip cookie and a skillet with ice cream that was excellent too. The main entrees could have used just a little bit more seasoning but the steak was cooked very well. Our waitress Mia did an excellent job as well.”
“So yummy. We had hot pot. My husband loved the spicy miso soup base, said it was one of the best he’d had. Our server was very friendly and kind. Would definitely go back!”

“The people at IHop in Western Hills were so very nice when I went in and wanted to purchase pancake syrup that I couldn’t find anywhere, they surprised me with enough to use for the family breakfast, and it was at no charge!! Again, thank you IHop, you have wonderful people working for you!!”
“An afternoon escape found us at Nicks. We were NOT disappointed. From the moment we were greeted until we left - we were made to feel welcomed. The food was all very good as well. My wife had blackened Cajun chicken pasta, my son had the baked shrimp Mac n cheese and I had a shrimp Po boy. Each and every bite was devoured. Can't wait to go back!”
“Our lunch was wonderful. The server was very friendly and attentive, and we received our order in a timely manner. All drinks were refilled before having to ask as well.Our food came out perfectly cooked and we were even offered dessert, which was appreciated. I would definitely highly recommend this Outback.”
“My family went in around 10pm. Pretty big party of 9 people. They initially wanted to put up all on the high table tops but eventually moved up to the section they said was "closed"Food took a while to be served. Even though we were a large party, there was only maybe 3 other people in the entire restaurant so in my opinion, it shouldn't have been that long.I come here often so I'll say this was a one off bad night. Won't let it stop me from coming back”
“Great local steak house. Took a few guys out for a bachelor party warm up. The service was great, atmosphere very comfortable and the food was on point. We had a mix of steaks and appetizers and everything was great.”

“Jay was absolutely fantastic this evening! One of the best servers we have ever had. He was so personable, informative, attentive, and provided a truly exceptional dining experience. Ask for Jay when you visit - you won’t be disappointed!!”
“I recently had the pleasure of dining at Rodizio Grill, and I must say, it was an absolutely fantastic experience. From the moment I walked in, I was greeted warmly by the friendly and attentive staff. The ambiance was cozy and inviting, and the decor was tasteful and well thought out. But the real star of the show was the food. The quality of the meats was superb, and each cut was cooked to perfection. The flavors were bold and delicious, and I found myself going back for seconds (and even thirds!) of my favorites. The salad bar was also impressive, with a wide variety of fresh and tasty options to choose from. What really set Rodizio Grill apart, however, was the service. Our server was knowledgeable, attentive, and went above and beyond to ensure that our dining experience was exceptional. From recommendations on which meats to try, to keeping our drinks topped up, our server was the epitome of excellent service. Overall, I would highly recommend Rodizio Grill to anyone looking for a top-notch dining experience. The combination of quality food, cozy ambiance, and exceptional service make it well worth a visit. Five stars all around!”
“Upon entering, we were greeted by a waitress who was extremely pleasant and made our experience the best possible. She was happy to give us some time to order when we asked and even brought us more chips when we ate them all. Further, she was quick to provide refills when our drinks were empty and was just nice the whole time. The food was good and the chips were fresh. Bathrooms were also clean and the atmosphere was very peaceful”
“This place came highly recommended by several people in the area. I am a huge Philly cheese steak fan so I knew I had to try it. Not only were they so fast and kind, the food was amazing! So authentic and ”
“The food is always amazing and the cost is just right. So please go and try eating at the shrimp basket.Parking: It's on N Davis HWY right down the street from IHOP”
“Gretchen took amazing care of us, helping my wife cope with an egg allergy. The Oysters McClellan were terrific, and the grilled shrimp was perfectly spiced. We will come back!”
“First time here, sat outside to look a beach in between all the tall buildings.Atmosphere was really nice and laid back.They served my Japanese beer in a frosty glass each time. We had smoked fish appetizer, which was made close by locally, had a sushi roll which was excellent and main course was a Blackened Grouper Taco.Everything was wonderful, I will go back!Wheelchair accessibility: They have an elevator up to the restaurant.”
“This place is awesome!!! Every business around here should be as lively and friendly as Maynard's. My husband was also impressed with the fresh quality of the food and fantastic bubbly service. I'll be stopping in whenever i'm in the area for sweets, treats and speciality drinks.”
“Cute,quaint, atmosphere with made fresh brick oven pizzas, soft serve ice cream and hot and iced coffees.Definitely recommendParking: Parking in front and all around.Kid-friendliness: There is a variety of seating but it is not a place for toddlers that want to run and play. They would however love the baby ice cream cones!!”
“I gave this place five stars because the food, service, and atmosphere were top tier. My friend also felt the same. We got a king crab boil and it was absolutely delicious and cooked perfectly. The king crab shell was soft, so it was a little hard to crack open, but other than that it was amazing. The best crab place we've been to in Pensacola. We got the medium garlic butter and Cajun seasonings as recommended by our waitress and it was perfect. The crab meat fries could've had more flavor, but even as leftovers they were still very satisfying. Honestly, I kind of wish I just dipped them in the crab seasonings. Will definitely be coming back in the future.”
“Chicken Peato Hash is pretty good, so is the Buiscut and Turkey gravy. Had the Chickichanga today based on the waiters recommendation. It was also pretty tasty. Service is friendly and pretty fast.”
“Ordered online. Their page is very confusing when placing an order. ( my 1st time) Anyhoot, I didn't order what I wanted. Placed a call to them and they corrected it. They did great. Food was hot & delicious. Will use them again & again. Service was great. Good job guys!!Wheelchair accessibility: Easy in & out.”
“I stopped in and placed a carry out order. The Pho is delicious! The broth was extremely flavorful and I loved the chicken meatballs that were in the chicken pho. I was surprised by the meatballs. Most places just do the chicken breast but House of Pho puts in both. I also ordered the waffle egg rolls. The outside was like a shredded wheat texture but they were very good and crunchy. I definitely recommend everyone to give it a try!”
“Ordered delivery from the GB location for the first time. My son enjoyed his burger but I was disappointed. I ordered mine without sauce because of food allergies, and it showed up covered in sauce. Also, the fries tasted like they were fried in old oil and were inedible. I ended up having to throw those out. I’ve heard good things about Sauce Boss so I’ll try them again, but the first experience wasn’t good.”
“The atmosphere is comfortable, the staff very friendly and the food was fantastic! But that kitchen, so fast! I don't think it took 5 minutes from ordering to eating.”

“I moved here from Colorado 7 years ago, and had been desperate to find good Mexican food. Every single place I tried sent me into despair, as I was used to there being incredible hole in the wall, authentic places on every corner back home. I was particularly homesick one night, and decided to try once more to find quality Mexican food. A girl need a taco dangit! I found this place on door dash, and ordered an assortment of things for my mom, the kids, and I. Burritos, tacos, assorted meats, and of course jalapenos, I went overboard. I was craving a solid lingua, as if it's cooked right, it's the most incredible taco you'll ever find.The smell emanating from the bag must have driven the driver crazy, and I'm hoping he went back to obtain their own order of tacos. That level of torture is inhumane. While guilty of probably breaking the Geneva convention, Taqueria El Asador provided generous portions of each ingredient, and made me happy I ordered the extra tortilla per taco. It's like having a bonus today once you're finished with the original!First off.... The lingua.... Oh my lord! So I'm a widow, a very young widow. There's certain things you miss as a widow. The cure... Eating a lingua supreme taco with the salsas and a jalapeno. The flavor, texture, experience, of eating this particular taco was a delight for the senses. It sent a shiver of delight through me, eyes rolled back in my head, and I'm not responsible for the sound of approval that escaped my mouth. No one heard it though, as they were currently immersed in their own culinary delights.My mom is a huge fan of pintos and also of pork within her Mexican dishes. She was pleased by both and Said they were the best she's ever had. Both children finished their burritos, which is a feat as they're at a stage in development where everything is gross unless it comes from a box or a can, and creative culinary experiences go over their heads. The steak was tender and delicious, and had my kids hunting around through their fallen morsels that escaped the burritos for more.So tldr of this experience: lingua was incredible, will be ordering stupid amounts of this again. Pork, beans, and steak, all Delicious too. Salsas, rice, and other "others" complimented the meats beautifully. I will be coming back over and over.Thank you for being a home away from home!”
“Food is always hot and fresh! I have been here a few times in the last week and had a great experience both times! Servers were very friendly and stayed on top of getting us refills and making sure we had everything we needed! The music was a little loud at times but it’s a sports bar kinda so that is usually the case! Would definitely recommend for a good meal! I always get the zinger mountain melt!”
“We are vacationing in Perdido so decided to go try the buffet out. The pizza was awesome and our waitress Natasha was amazing. The entire staff was so friendly.

“Great pizza at a fair price! We sat at the bar outside and they served us there. Slices were huge and the sauce was amazing. My wife had the Cesar salad as well and she said it was delicious and piled with croutons. There is a wall of tvs on the bar side so it was a perfect way to get out of the rain and enjoy a good meal with drinks.”

“best Indian food in pensacola! i got the masala dosa and omg does it take me back home (i’m from south India). all of you MUST try. but be aware…cause you won’t stop coming back! (i’m speaking from experience)❤️❤️❤️”
“A Mano Panino is phenomenal! If you want to feel like you've just found the locals' lunch spot in a little italian town, this is the place! Let's just start with the perfectly crusty schiacciata bread, baked fresh daily! It is the perfect foundation for these deliciously crafted panini. The ingredients are so thoughtfully selected and prepared. The amount of love that goes into these works of art is evident by the explosion of flavor you experience in every bite. My favorite so far is the #7 Il Trovatore. The finocchiona, an Italian style salami made with fennel, pairs perfectly with the peppery arugula, sweet balsamic roasted eggplant, creamy robiola spread, and flavorful fig spread. The whole thing had me wishing it would never end and when it did, I wished I had room for another! These things are huge! Not only phenomenal quality, but fantastic value, as well! The outdoor seating is beautiful and great for kids to explore and get out some energy. Customer service is top notch. The owners are fully invested and involved in orchestrating these amazing experiences. Bonus: This restaurant is owned by the same people who brought us Lamonte Gelato and you can actually dine inside of Lamonte gelato and finish off your lunch with their famous, authentic gelato and artisan espresso. If you haven't tried them yet, here is your sign! You won't regret it!”
“Large portions, fresh food, and great service. Order to go or eat at the outdoor tables. We ordered the Mucho Nachos (large enough for 2-3 people) and the asada burritos. Everything was great!”
“Awesome food from hard working folks and fair prices. I've only been once but but mmmm! Loved it! I will be back but i'm not sure I want to tell anyone as it will go up in price and get too busy!”
“Stopped by after dinner downtown to try their cocktails and was not disappointed. I had the classic daiquiri while boyfriend got the toasted marshmallow rum sour. He was really impressed and wants to come back to try it again. The ambience was amazing, can’t wait to come back during the day and sit outside and try some of the food!”
“Omg! The customer service was very nice and The food was absolutely delicious from the Chicken Tacos to Carne Asada Fries ! 1000/1000. I would definitely eat at the Cactus Flower Food Truck again! I’m telling you it’s worth every penny !”
“Food is absolutely yummylicious! The best pad thai you can get in Pensacola! And the awesome thing is that the portion is huge, so you are definitely getting your money's worth!”
“This Gastro Pub is great - the drinks were decent. Brown butter old fashioned was a very small drink for $14, and too much bitters/simple syrup. But not bad.The concord grape sour was delicious.The pretzel was good, a bit over salted, but I'd rather too much than too little so I can brush it off. Beer cheese was good but the size of it was small. Mustard was alright.Mac and cheese was way overcooked, the noodles were super mushy. But the cheese/crust was on point.The truffle fries were a little undercooked and starchy but still really good. The truffle aioli that is served with them is to die for!”
“So yummy. We had hot pot. My husband loved the spicy miso soup base, said it was one of the best he’d had. Our server was very friendly and kind. Would definitely go back!”
“The people at IHop in Western Hills were so very nice when I went in and wanted to purchase pancake syrup that I couldn’t find anywhere, they surprised me with enough to use for the family breakfast, and it was at no charge!! Again, thank you IHop, you have wonderful people working for you!!”
“Such an amazing night. We were both already fans of Chef George however after tonight we are even bigger fans. Our entire experience was great. We went out for my birthday/our 20th anniversary. We did a tasting of the menu from oysters (murder pointe) delicious, buttery soft and a hint of sweet the cucumber, red wine and shallot mignonette were a beautiful start. Followed by red snapper collar which was delicious however our server noticed we were having a harder time accessing the meat then normal and immediately spoke with Chef George who Insisted on firing a new one even though we’d enjoyed over half of our first one. So we ordered some tuna carpaccios while we waited and this was outstanding (if you like jalapeños ask for extra). Our second red snapper collar came out and was perfection. Soft flaky smooth and delicious (thank you chef for insisting absolutely worth it). We then decided to order the flounder main dish to share which was also perfect. The crispy fried capers and roasted pecans added a wonderful crunch contrast to the soft silky fish and creamy potatoes. To finish the night we got the tuxedo cake, and while not made in house clearly was chosen for its superior quality as my husband who does not care for chocolate was eating more of the chocolate mouse than the vanilla cheesecake. I would also highly recommend the Paloma such a refreshing drink like your sitting on a lounge chair on the beach enjoying the sunset.”
