Cajun Restaurants near Gulf Breeze, FL

“Was the absolute best Blackened Red snapper I’ve eaten and I’ve eaten a lot in my life. The gumbo, red beans and rice, and crawfish etouffee were spot on. This was my second time eating there and will return each time I come back to Pensacola Beach.“

“Food was amazing. The gnocchi and escargot was phenomenal. The wings are always my go to and's always a hit. The squash under the short rib was perfect and the chocolate delice was the perfect finish. The service was amazing. Amber is fantastic and always so genuine! We will definitely be back soon!“

“OMG !! What a wonderful find. We saw crawfish whipped a "U" and boom we were there, it was a Friday late afternoon quite a few guess.Nice menu selections. But it was crawfish for me, got the boat crawfish, sausage,corn, potatoes and mushrooms with choice of sauce my husband got the shrimp boat same combo. They were both absolutely delicious. Can't wait for next visit“

“I ordered the Chilean sea bass. I understand the flavor of this restaurant is Louisiana Creole flavors, but the description of the dish was the fish with a garlic soy over some black rice. It came out like a gumbo. Green peppers overpowering the dish. But my main concern was the freshness of the fish. The fish had a very strong odor and strange taste. I've had sea bass before and I know the fish was not fresh. But why I am giving Felix's 4 stars is because the manager or owner was making rounds checking on customers. He checked in with us and I told him about my concerns with the fish. He was very apologetic and wanted to make things right. He made sure the customers were happy.. I got the shrimp po' boy and it was absolutely delicious!! Yes I would definitely be back!!“

“OMG this is some delicious and savory down south cooking!! Red beans with the chicken is so tasty. Macaroni is perfect. I’ve never liked collards but I’m a fan now…I just needed to try Mama Bear’s, apparently. Yams are delicious. I’ll be back tomorrow for her made from scratch gumbo. This woman can cook! This is my new favorite!! ?“

“Great food, atmosphere, and prices. We went during happy hour where the margaritas were doubles for the price of a single. They were very good. I had the Bahn Mi tacos and could have easily eaten 2 more orders, they were so good. Definitely will be making this one of our go-to places. They also had vegan options which made it an easy choice for my step-mother.“

“The new owners didn't change the interior much from when it was Franco's, maybe new paint. It was very clean, the staff was great and the food was good. My wife had the BBQ shrimp, and I had the fried oyster platter. Definitely will be on our return to list.“

“I'm embarrassed to say I didn't even know this restaurant was here in Cordova Mall and I live here. I just happened to drive by and stopped in for lunch.Samantha was my server and she was so nice and friendly and even helped me to decide my lunch of fried catfish and some onion rings. The food came out fast and hot! This was some of the best fried catfish I've ever eaten. Onion rings were awesome too. Catfish were right out of the fryer and crispy on the outside and nice and flaky on the inside. It's a generous portion.So now that I know about Cracking Crab I'll definitely be back!!“

“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!“
