50 Best American Restaurants in Pensacola

“Stopped to pick up dinner tonight and decided to also get banana pudding after I ordered. All the food was really good- but I would come back for the banana pudding specifically because it may be some of the best I’ve ever had.“

“awesome, amazing place, must visiting“

“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!“

“Found this place online when looking for something close to hotel. 2 miles away. Great find. Don't go if you don't like fried food. Had Fried Wings with Fries. Also had fired pickles. Great visit.“

“Nothing but amazing things to say. For it being a golf course restaurant and bar it will slap you in the face with how good it is. It is on base so it’s restricted in potential customers but they throw down in the kitchen every single time. The food comes out fast and it’s incredible everytime. I would recommend the redbeans and rice if you’re first coming in to try.“

“10 out 10 on the St Patrick’s day special of Corn beef and cabbage.“

“Hidden gym with AMAZING food. Luckily we looked at Google first because if we had just drove by we definitely would not have stopped. The outside is definitely deceiving! Please don't let that stop you from coming in and giving them a shot“

“Just celebrated a surprise proposal in the private room. The staff were extremely helpful and made sure we were able to come in to set up! Food 10/10. Made our night special!“

“The cajun salmon alfredo sooo delicious. Huge portions and great prices. Wonderful atmosphere. The two young ladies that waited on us were very professional. Mark in the kitchen is the best. You won't be disappointed.“

“Very nice people and food was great!“

“Family stopped by for ice cream tonight - delicious! Friendly employees and quick service. Will definitely return!“

“I have nothing but great things to say about the food and service! Everything is fantastic from the minute you walk in the door.“

“Food was amazing service was perfect. We will be back“

“The Navy Yard is a solid breakfast spot if you're looking for quick, tasty food at a reasonable price. The croissant with sausage, egg, and cheese is especially on point; fresh, flavorful, and satisfying.

I usually stop by with my coworkers in the morning and grab our food to go. It’s always well-packaged, and the condiment bar by the register is a nice touch for customizing your meal. I definitely recommend this place to anyone in search of a quick, delicious bite to start their day.“

“Great Marina at Bayou Grande; just need to do a little dredging so we can use our boats!“

“We went here for lunch. No wait. I got the Alabama White BBQ grilled chicken sandwich with sweet potato fries and my husband got grilled chicken tenders with tater tots! My chicken sandwich and sweet potato fries were VERY good. The sweet potato fries were the best I have ever had. Service was good.“

“Great place! Been going for years!“

“Not sure if they changed their buns, but something was different our last visit. We ordered the butter burger basket with cheddar. Burger had that expected Culver's flavor but, again, something has changed and they seemed smaller. Onion rings and fries were good.“

“Lots of variety on the menu. Food is good and employees helpful and friendly. Nice dine inside experience. Love the frozen custard.“

“Food is decent, but the portion sizes aren't that great sometimes, especially during breakfast. They're restrictive on what and how much protein we can have, often resulting in a couple bites of eggs and a large amount of bread items. For those of us who are training, I feel like we need to be allowed more protein than that. I also feel that as adults we should be able to make the choice of what we eat, even if it means having both sausage *and* bacon. I'd even pay extra for that. Other than that, not bad.“

“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 live 3 minutes from our nearest Cracker Barrel but choose to drive 35 miles to the I 10 - Pine Forest Road location in Florida. The food is better, meeting our expectations, the people are friendlier, particularly Cleo who always remembers us and is warm, joyful and welcoming. The servers we've had are much better here and our experience with Anna is always great. My wife loves shopping here. This store is just run better, the way one would expect of Cracker Barrel. Steve and Barbara Martin“

“I have been thinking about coming here to try a burger for a while. Why oh why did I wait?! It was so much better than I expected! The burger was flavorful and juicy. Lettuce and tomato was fresh. Fries were crispy and hot. I love the chill environment as well. A no brainer to come 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 croutons on the salad bar are fantastic.“

“Madi S. blew us away with her expertise as a Server. She was attentive despite the fact she had a large table close to us. Always smiling an quick to deliver the great food we ordered. Service is so very important in this crazy world we live in. Madi made us feel importance. Ask for Madi for a sublime eating adventure.“

“Always great service and good pizza“

Still trying different things on the menus and haven’t had anything I did not totally enjoy. When my family and friends come to visit this is where I’ll take them for sure ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Excellent service and the food was unbelievably delicious! Our server Clay was phenominal“

“My husband and I visited this evening for a date night. It was our second time coming (we visit once a year from Ohio). We both had the shrimp and grits, and it was FANTASTIC. So flavorful!! The portion size was perfect, and we both left stuffed. The view from the deck is beautiful, overlooking the water, with pelicans flying by, and our waitress was very nice. We will be back every time we’re in town!“

“We both had the sliced brisket barbecue sandwich. I had Brunswick stew, she had mac & cheese. It was delicious. Tender brisket with great flavor cooked right out back over wood fire reasonably priced I would recommend it. I’ll be back…“

“Cole was awesome! Def would come back again for his service.“

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

“I love First Watch on 9 mile road and, the service I received from "Taylor" was bar none, the best!! I love the blueberry multi grain pancakes but recently I tried the breakfast burrito and it was AMAZING! Definitely recommend this place!“

“It’s hands down my favorite place to go eat in this area.“

“The location is wonderful for a sunset view. Our server Roger C. was the perfect amount of attentive. He also listened regarding exactly how we wanted our martinis prepared and they were just right. All of the food was delicious!“

Y’all have a customer for life 🩵“

“Sonny’s (9th Avenue-Pensacola) has a great group of employees! Kindness, patience, teamwork, and dedication are just a few of their amazing qualities! The restaurant managers are experienced leaders who do more than just supervise… they always pitch in to help wherever and whenever needed. This group of people definitely set the tone for every shift with their individual personalities that always bring fun and laughter! Their dedication to both the staff and the guests creates an atmosphere that ensures every shift is a great shift and that every meal is a great meal!“

“Arrived on a Sunday after 2:00, the staff was just getting a break from a busy brunch crowd —trying to clear tables and mop the floors. We were still greeted by smiles, even the chef came out and smiled. We thought the food might not be great after such a busy morning; however, my mocktail was delicious. The spinach dip and chips were hot and came out quickly. We ordered fish tacos/blackened shrimp tacos which were perfectly seasoned.
Less busy than comparable restaurants so a much nicer experience for us all around.“
