“Lunch was delicious today. Angie was my waitress. She is amazing. She was by herself today and had several customers in. She took care of everyone's order without a problem. She is sweet, fast, and very efficient and knows her job very well. I would recommend anyone eating there to ask for Angie, she will take good care of you.“

“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“

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

“I haven't been here in a year and just as expected, excellent! The red snapper was fantastic and Rachel provided great service with just the right amount of checking in on me. And like before, I will stop in again next time I am in the area!“

“This is such a great restaurant! We traveled from Mobile, AL specifically to try this place out. I ordered the crab cake benedict with new potatoes and a side of bacon, it was amazing! The mimosas were also great. I loved we could mix/customize them at the table and it was a good tasting champagne as well. Everyone in my party enjoyed their food and the service. It is such a welcoming, fun vibe with live jazz music. This spot has been added to my visit list anytime in Pensacola.“

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

“Best cannolis in town. Most authentic Philly cheesesteaks with Amoroso rolls. Old world Italian, pork Italian, meatball sandwich also excellent.“

“Great food. I love this place. Staff is the best. It’s my go to restaurant. Great place for a cup of hot chocolate or if you’re a coffee drinker that too. 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 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“This was our second time visiting here and it was just as good as our first time. We started with drinks, and then got some appetizers which were great! I will say the olives are not pitted in their olive appetizer so be aware of that!

Next I had a pasta from their sampling menu that was divine. Along side their meatballs and vodka sauce which was absolutely excellent.

Everything we had was top notch and we’ll be back soon!“

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

“Always good, I didn’t like the grill bass, the cream sauce was more like a roux. But the fried shrimp and fish is excellent!“

“I lived in Pensacola for 10 years and Sky was our place to go, moved to Largo lived for 9, now with hurricane Milton we came back to Pensacola. Just ordered pizza and fried raviolas, still the same if not better. Thank you very much for awesome food. appreciate.“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️When I moved to Florida Foosackleys became my favorite place because they ALWAYS SERVE FRESH FOOD!! This highlights how well the business is being managed as SO many other fast food places give out old food ALL the time & don’t seem to be held accountable by management but at foosackleys the team is well managed and ALWAYS friendly. I have been here countless times and NEVER gotten anything less than scorching fresh out of the fryer food AND friendly service. You will NEVER deal with a rude worker or a worker that’s not friendly. THAT SAYS VOLUMES ABOUT THE MANAGEMENT & I seriously commend them. THANK YOU for always giving great service & giving Pensacola a reliable place to get fresh food that is delicious & juicy & affordable!

‼️TIP/PROBLEM:‼️ One thing I did want to bring aware to the company is 2 small issues I have with the Togo containers, their food is so hot that when you get it to go & drive home, by the time you get there the foam boxes are literally partly melted on the roof of the box so I believe they could use different containers. ALSO (and more importantly) the little paper things that go on the bottom of the foam container that has their logo written in purple ends up coming off ONTO THE CHICKEN which is not good. I have had it happen the last 3 times I’ve came & found my chicken was purple on one side & was utterly confused until I realized it was the paper with the purple writing that came off onto the food. I find this to be the most concerning problem & was hoping this would make the company aware so it could be addressed.

Other then this I hands down give this company 5 STARS! ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“The best BBQ we've ever had! Recommend 100%!!“

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

“we found a gem, that will not be soon forgotten... If you haven't been in a while, or not at all, you deserve what these folks offer, Good food served up by folks who are genuinely happy to see you...“

“Great burgers!🍔 Seafood nachos are fire 🔥“

“Once again Jackson's did not disappoint. Our out of town guest had a relaxing and wonderful evening of fabulous drinks blueberry martinis and wine, appetizers, steaks and dessert. We love Jackson's. Thomas our waiter as usual is both knowledgeable in drinks foods and desserts and has you wanting to try everything on the menu. The presentation and mouthwatering food only makes you want to come back for more. You will not be disappointed. Ask for Thomas and you will have an evening you will never forget. Our out of towners want to go back everytime. Thanks Jackson's for another wonderful evening with you.“

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

“Food, service and atmosphere are spot on! Order was brought to the table in a very timely manner, and everyone was friendly and seemed glad we were there. The portions were very generous. Will def go back as soon as possible. Give them a try...you will not be disappointed.“

“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!“

“Burger in Pensacola. Hands down. Born and raised here - eaten everywhere. This is our family favorite.“

“I drive 30+ minutes out of my way to get this amazing food. Truly amazing owners that are very kind and make the best Mexican food I’ve ever had. My favorites are the asada fries, Birria tacos, Cali burrito, and the tamales are fantastic. This place has been a staple for me and my family for the past three years since I’ve gotten here to Pensacola. I highly recommend to everyone, an absolute 10/10 experience!!“

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

“Had an absolutely wonderful anniversary with my husband last night trying this place for the first time. We were so blown away we couldn't stop talking about the experience when we left. We will absolutely be back. The charcuterie selection, the drinks, the atmosphere, and the FRITO PIE are to perish for. You get a lot more than what you pay for. It's not just a restaurant, it's an EXPERIENCE“

“We have been coming here since the old location across the street when my son was still in his momma's belly. 15+ years and it will always be our favorite!“

“The absolute best. I try to eat here at least once a week. The tacos cabeza and tacos lengua are delicious but I’m biased to my favorite — al pastor. The associates are so friendly and the prices can’t be beat. You will never regret coming here. ¡Hasta pronto mis amigos!“
