Restaurants in Pensacola

“Everything about this restaurant is fantastic! The lamb chops are the best I have ever had. The red snapper collar is off the charts and the tuxedo cake was amazing also. The best part though.... our server, Crystle was off the charts! Hands-down, the best service l've had in years! This is my new favorite place!”

“Had a great time. Good atmosphere. Great selection of beers. Would definitely go back.”

“LOVED Aunt Katie's Breakfast Cafe! From out of town & we always try to go to local restaurants that we can't enjoy at home- their breakfast was amazing! Highly recommend-”

“WOW, this food is FRESH! All of the fish is high quality. Not one complaint about the food or service!”

“Amazing food! Incredible service. Must try”

“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.”

“My husband and I visit Salty Pearl at least once a week! Great oysters, amazing shrimp and fries platter, and the burger is delicious too. The service is friendly -we love this neighborhood gathering place.”

“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!”

“Best authentic tacos anywhere around!! Amazing service and high quality food. Definitely give them a try!!”

“Smores, pumpkin cookies are the best

Parking: A couple of shops in front so it makes parking slim. However, there is parking across from the establishment”

“Excellent food at this family owned restaurant. The crispy chicken and rice is best I ever had. Pho and spring rolls also the best in Pensacola. What really stands out is the friendly atmosphere. The owner Minh is a wonderful guy and always does the rounds to make sure you’re taken care of. Really a gem of a place in a great location in a plaza on Davis Highway.”

“Summer, Hayden, Jacqueline and Richard was amazing! We are locals and we love this place and the food is great! Patrick is amazing as well!”

“My favorite place to have a nice dinner of all time ♥️”

“We tried Iron for the first time on a recommendation from my brother's friend. Everything about our experience was A+. The service was friendly and helpful. Blanch assisted us with our selections and was very attentive to our needs. Best personality ever! The food! We each ordered something different because we were torn on what sounded the best. Started with appetizer Black Garlic Butter Gnocchi and Escargot. It was tender and very flavorful. Highly recommend. The three main dishes we decided on were Chili Dusted Scallops, Lamb Neck Melt, and Anise Spiced Duck. We all sampled each other's and we couldn't decide which was the best. They were each were delicious in their own rite. Two of us ended the meal with the Key Lime Creme Brulee (the third regretted not ordering as soon as they came out, so I shared.) It was perfection. Everything was perfectly timed to allow for fellowship with your party and for a restaurant experience. I'll definitely revisit.”

“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!”

“The affogato was transcendant - I'll definitely be back! If you wholesale contact me!”

“great food great drink great service great atmosphere what else could you want!”

“Food was delicious and the vibe of the place is super cool. We loved it.”

“I lived in Hawaii for three years and I can confidently say I have never had better Kalua pork! The rice was perfect, the teriyaki chicken was amazing, and my husband loved the Mac salad! Wish they would have had the spam musubi for us to try but we will be back tomorrow!”

“The food and service were great. Friendly people and the burger was amazing”

“Delicious food!!! So good I had to order more!!!! We loved the Birria Tacos!!! If I could have them cater all events I would! ♥️♥️♥️”

“Wow! Excellent burger. Well seasoned. Nice crisp crunchy lettuce. The fries are the small crispy kind which i love! They have a house sauce which is interesting! The staff is so very kind and polite. The wait was not terribly long. The food was all fresh and delicious. And everything was affordable. $40 for 3 combos! Not exactly a fan of the group cooler access for the drinks but thats not something that will stop me from coming back. 5/5!”

“Sauce Boss Burger has the best burger in Pensacola hands down. Do not waste your time with these other places. No the food is not cheap but I would pay twice as much to enjoy one of these delicious hamburgers. If you have not tried these burgers you are missing out. Juicy, perfectly seasoned, and their staff is friendly and fast. Go check them out!”

“I love Another Broken Egg Cafe. When my fiancé and I travel, we always look for one since it's our favorite breakfast place. The food and drinks are great. We've always had good service and a lovely atmosphere.”

“One of the best eats in town. We love the UWF location and like the downtown location just as much. Vermicelli with grilled pork, shrimp or chicken is a fave. Pho with brisket is great for a chilly night. Spring rolls is another fave. Fried chicken is to die for. Good atmosphere and staff. If you’ve never had Vietnamese, try any of the above. You won’t be disappointed.”

“Edited!
Came back and sat with Gaven. Amazing dinner with first class service. The food quality was restored to perfection.
Gaven in AMAZING!

Came back to relive the excellence and flavors of our first experience. Not. Food quality changed. Service was great though. But that feeling you have paying a high bill
For a lower quality meal stuck with me.

Disappointed”

“The Shawarma is fantastic”

“Simply Amazing.. the food, the staff, the atmosphere.. 12/10 will be back”

“We had a wonderful time. Our server CJ was the best! The food was delish and high end. So glad we went.”

“Absolute gem!! This place has the BEST food, waitresses, and atmosphere! We will definitely be back.”

“We visit Orange Beach a couple times a year and this is our favorite spot for dinner. The food is great, prices are reasonable and wait staff are friendly and personable. Had the best fish and chips I've eaten anywhere and love the gumbo and fried shrimp”

“The waitstaff if very knowledgeable and friendly. The food is delicious!”

“Great atmosphere,service, drinks and DESSERTS!!!! Britt & Poppy BOMB.COM Thanks again will be back soon”

“The service was outstanding provided by Thomas. The food was top notch cooked to perfection. I was surprised that what I would consider possibly the top upscale restaurant in Pensacola would allow diners to wear shorts and t-shirts as if they were dining on the beach. Come on Jacksons, we are dining and paying for a classy experience. Please set dress code standards. Business casual, no shorts and collard shirts for men at a minimum.”

“We had dinner here last night and it was OUSTANDING!!! The sautéed crab claws, Scamp Cervantes, Snapper— everything we had was incredible! Our server was so knowledgeable and friendly. Desserts were just as amazing as the rest of the meal. Definitely a highlight of our trip!”

“The food is excellent. The place is amazing, and I love getting my daughter's and my glasses here. The staff is awesome. New glasses for my senior just picked up yesterday.”

“favorite restaurant downtown”

“Today was my first time going and I absolutely loved the energy! I got some Teriyaki wings and my boyfriend got a burger that he couldn’t even finish lOl . My waitress name was Rebecca, she was very kind and polite ❤️ The manager stopped by before we left and gave us a little back ground on the restaurant. That fact that he took the time as busy as it was very sweet . Outstanding place ! Wish I could give more stars . Will be returning soon!”

“If you haven't tried Calvert's in the Heights yet its a must! When most other places were closing and the tourist traps had a 3 hour wait Calvert's was open and sat our 20+ people with smiles. The food was hot and so flavorful my all time favorites are the pasties and philly rolls. We also got the crab cakes that were sooo good!! The grouper sandwich and fish and chips did not stand a chance against my boys. Thomas was our server and he was so sweet and catered to our every need. We were at the beach all day and were so thirsty and even though it looks empty bc we were finished he kept our drinks full. I would argue that back patio is absolutely the best outdoor spot to eat in Pensacola, what the owners have done to it is nothing short of spectacular, everyone I was with agreed. The live band was the cherry on the cake. Most people in my group had never been here before and said they will most definitely be back!”

“Amazing food and great staff. Best Thai in Pensacola. We had a great time and cannot wait to be back!”

“Delicious food and friendly staff”

“Always a great poke bowl! Tonight they served us at 5 minutes to closing - thanks so much!”

“Great place! The waiter was amazing, the food was great, the manager was fantastic!!!! I only wish we lived closer so we could come here more often!!! Will absolutely be back!”

“Best place in Pensacola! delicious and highly flavorful food! yummy beers. fantastic service! highly recommend it!!”

“Food was good. waitresses were nice and helpful. AC was so cold it made dining in uncomfortable. It has been that way the last few times we ate there. I heard other customers complaining how cold it is. Hopefully they will change that. I'm sure it will save them money also.”

“Jacky was an absolutely amazing waitress. We were greeted as soon as we walked in and she actually asked us how we were doing! She was training a new employee (Simone) and was super friendly encouraging with her that she would be great! Jacky definitely wants to be friends with all of her guests and made us feel very welcome. She also said national Waffle week coming up and a special waffle was coming soon and it was 10 out of 10! Everyone should make a stop to this Waffle House and ask for Jacky!”

“Lee is the best cook at any waffle house in Pensacola Florida hands-down. Highly recommend going to the waffle house.”

“This is a very cozy and clean place of all Waffle House establishments!!! And I want to say a big thank you to the waitress named Amber (if I'm not mistaken, the name is indicated), she really loves her job!”

“Came at 9pm on a Monday- back home in Louisville KY, if you walk into a Waffle House at night, you’re walking out with a story. There’s always some kind of chaos, but not here! We walked into the cleanest, kindest, and most well managed WH my wife and I had seen. The workers- Jasmine, Hannah, Meg, and Seth were all awesome- very friendly, funny, and took great care of us. The food was hot, fresh, and made with care. We’re looking forward to coming back, and hope it’ll be the same crew!”

“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.”

“Waffle House has been in every state I travel. Walking into the door and being greeted feels familiar, like you're always welcome. All hours - menu selection is comfortable style eating.”

“Don't like you can't order over the phone you have to use the app that does not have all avaliable items. Had to wait 20 minutes for all food to be prepared when I could of just ordered over the phone. Or used the app if they had a regular BLT avaliable to order.”

“Felt very welcome by the staff and customers. Food truck next door had great ribs and brought them to our table. Nice place.”

“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!”

“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.”

“Absolutely wonderful spot. Incredible food, atmosphere and service. We've had nearly everything on the menu, and every option is top notch. Make the trip, it's more than worth it.”

“My daughter and I tried this place for the first time today. The ice cream was absolutely amazing! We got both the blueberry and osceola orange flavor and enjoyed both. The customer service was great too and the facility was very clean. As of now, I would say this is the best ice cream I have ever had. We will 100% be returning!”

“Ommmggg!! This PLACE IS AWESOME THE SAUCE ,, yeeaasss Oh my goodness . Keep up the AMAZING JOB AND THE RICE & beans and the MAC AND CHEESE!!! .. I had plans b4 we went?after I RESCHEDULED ALL PLANS FOR NEXT DAY!!! That’s how good the food was”

“I had a very pleasant experience dining here. The dining room is small and not for large gatherings but it wasn’t crowded the day I visited. The staff was super friendly and the food came to me freshly prepared in a timely manner. The price was fair for the quality and portion size. I will definitely return when I’m in the area!!”

“Here’s a I had an amazing experience at Perfect Plain Brewing Co, thanks to Charles! He went above and beyond to make sure we had a great time. His knowledge of the beer selection was top-notch, and he gave us perfect recommendations based on our tastes. Each drink was crafted with care, and the atmosphere was laid-back yet vibrant. Charles really made the whole experience unforgettable with his friendly and attentive service. If you visit Perfect Plain, make sure to ask for him — you won’t be disappointed!”

“Our big family with kids ranging from 2-11 enjoyed sitting outside and enjoying the breeze and views while we ate our delicious dinner! Our server Contessia was very helpful and patient with getting our kids' orders. She also was funny. I personally loved the scallop risotto, and we shared the calamari trio for our appetizer.”

“I love the gyro and chicken wrap. I've always got it through Uber Eats and every time its so delicious!”

“Fantastic Thai food! Great prices fast service. What's not to like?
We had the crispy chicken wings as an appetizer they were moist on the inside and fantastically crunchy on the outside. We also had the fish cakes. Phenomenal flavor very authentic great with a cold glass of wine.

For main course we split the shrimp Chu Chee Curry... Coconut milk base, with kaffir lime leaf and Thai Basil.

We ate it all too fast to take pictures. But everything was WONDERFUL. Will be coming back!”

“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.

“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!!”

“Wonderful service and the food was great. My whole family was happy with everything they ordered. The key lime pie is amazing”

“We enjoyed visiting with some friends here. We ordered the muffaletta and bbq burger. Both were amazing. This is the best atmosphere and so well ran. From the moment we walked in the door we were taken care of. Can't wait to come back on our next visit.”

“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!”

“Lillian's was great!! I have Celiac disease, I need to have Gluten-free. Great Gluten-free pizza, went back a second time, had Gluten-free pasta and Alfredo, which was delicious. they were caring, considerate and concerned about my needs! Thank you!! #PerdidoKey”

“It was our first time dining here (7/6/24) and really enjoyed eating here!
First time being here we were a bit confused because there isn’t a host but literally all the waiters will help you to sit from personal experience and what we saw to others. For how busy it was, our waitress did a really good job checking up on us!
I had the Buffalo po-boy with fried oysters, it was very delicious! Buffalo sauce is very spicy personally and the fries are saltyy but that’s how I preferred it. (Forgot to take pictures but it looked very good)
My partner got the Chicago dog with onion rings, “basic but well done”. Onion rings were also just basic but delicious too!

I would definitely come back!”

“Went out for the arts market and had a lovely time! Beautiful greenery, adorable set up and there were all kinds of booths to choose from! A great event space and an even better local spot to stop in and support!”
