“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 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!”
“Thank you for offering Iron To Go! It did not disappoint!! Loved the presentation! Our food was the perfect temperature and absolutely delicious! We will definitely be utilizing this service on a regular basis!!”
“The food is sooooo delicious, fresh , tasty… the atmosphere is ?❤️ and the waitress was Amazing , ( her name is Jill ) she described all the details of the menu ?, and we had all of her recommendations for dinner ( zucchini soup , carpaccio, lamb , red snapper). Desert and coffee of course . Everything was great !! I am sure , we will 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.”

“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!”
“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!!”
“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.”

“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.”

“this place was AMAZING!! came here for dinner and was not disappointed at all. the only detail that threw me off was the location and the parking situation, but even then, it didn't matter once i realized how great the food was! highly recommend if you're looking for a casual, authentic dinner with great prices!”

“Two quarter pound hot dogs, fries and unsweet tea make me remember the old days when Mary Jane was a too frequent visitor....but oh so tasty...sit at the bar when it is busy and watch those maniacs create. Hot dogs are just a sample of their delicious menu of burgers and fish and onion rings, etc. but don't leave without the banana pudding....seriously.”
“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!”
“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.”

“Carmen’s Lunch Bar is a perfect place to grab lunch! I have been here three times and each time has not disappointed. First and foremost, you need to try the soda bread! It is heavenly and perfect to share with a friend. The kale salad is also to die for with such a delicious dressing. They also offer a variety of soups which all taste incredibly good.As far as entrees go, the chicken tikka masala plate is good but it isn’t a showstopper. I have also tried the crab cazuela plate and found it to be quite salty/greasy but still tasty. I’ve also tried a Cuban sandwich special with side salad and that was really good!Next time I come, I will definitely get soda bread, soup/salad, and maybe try a different entree :)”
“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.”

“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!!”
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.”

“Always love coming to Jitterbug. The coffee and food never disappoints. I love grabbing a chunky monkey parfait when I’m in a rush but sitting and snacking on the hot honey cornbread is my favorite. I love trying the different coffees they offer but will always be loyal to my OG favorite the Bee’s knees. If you haven’t already checked out Jitterbug I highly recommend.”
“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.”
“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!! ❤️”
“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”
“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.”
“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!!”
“This is a nice bar with food and sometimes they have live entertainment. The beers are tasty and the bartenders are very friendly. You can bring your children and dogs too.”
“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 had a “hankering” for more chicken green curry after having some from another (famous) local place last night, and gave this a shot. I like food stupidly hot, and they didn’t disappoint! But beyond the heat there’s a depth of flavor that is hard to imagine from a food truck! Highly recommend!”
“Great unplanned dinner at Jaco's Bayfront. Went to Pensacola to pick up a part for our RV and pick up dinner. Jaco's was downtown on the water. We walked in at 6 pm on a beautiful Saturday during spring break and were able to catch a seat by the window over looking the bay. The place was packed about 5 minutes later. Great timing. Interesting menu mixed with seafood, steaks and some fish tacos. However our waitress, Michelle was excellent at steering us towards some great selections and a twist on the main dish. We had fried green tomatoes with a nice balsamic, calamari trio prepared three ways, garlic parm, king pow and Italian red sauce for appetizers. We then shared the Caribbean Grouper woth mashed potatoes and asparagus instead of the roasted potatoes The meal was excellent. We also had the monthly Irish whiskey drink that was very nice. This was a great experience and Michele is an amazing waitress. It's nice to find a waitress that not only knows the menu but isn't afraid of suggesting items as well as how to best request the menu items.”
“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!”
“All I can say is WOW! New to the area and just heard about it from a coworker. Literally the best chicken I have ever had. Amazing flavor and cooked just right. I also got the Rice and Beans with Mashed potatoes which is a must try. I hope they have a frequent flyer program ”

“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.”
“The food, service and atmosphere were awesome. I had the salmon entree which was spectacular and husband had the prime rib special. Definitely a top notch restaurant.”
“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.”
“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!”
“We took a group of eight for dinner and all eight were very pleased with their meals. The service was spot on as usual. This is the best place for fine dining in Pensacola, hands down. I highly recommend.”
“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.”
“Single-handedly one of the best restaurants I’ve ever been to. Portion sizes were nice and big, our waiter Logan was probable the best waiter we’ve ever had friendly and helpful, and the food itself was amazing. 11/10”
“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!!!”

You know it's genuine that she enjoyed herself and the conversation because her smile didn't fade when she walked away.We'll be back this trip and every one in the future. 5 stars isn't enough!!!!”

“I mean it's Waffle House so you already know what you're getting but I have to say their service is impeccable. We went to IHOP and were told it was a 15 minute wait. A waitress came over and said it would be at least 40 minutes to get any food and they just seemed aggravated so we left. We went to the Waffle House across the highway. The girl was so sweet and even with a restaurant full of people, they were fast and stayed on top of our drinks etc. Just goes to show that customer service does matter and there is a reason that Waffle House keeps regulars. 10/10 enjoyed the service at this establishment!”
“Absolutely great service, kind staff who were really not letting their having to work on Christmas Day get to them. Food was pretty decent and while the building itself wasn’t the most spacious or prettiest, it was a good experience.”
“Currently undergoing some renovations. My family and I love this location and have been going to it for years. Please open back up soon! Your frequent customers miss you!”
“Friendliest place you'll ever visit! Been going there for years. The food is great the Waitresses are so spectacular and the cook always cooks things right! If I could give 10 stars I would.Wheelchair accessibility: Wheel chair access”
“This was the best Waffle House experience I’ve ever had!Staff members: Jennifer and Mike were awesome!My basic chicken sandwich and waffle they were both delicious!Thank you guys for making my day!”
“3am on a Tuesday it was the only place we could find for food. Servers were upbeat and cook was on his game. Made for an enjoyable experience in middle of the night!”
“The waitress were very pleasant excellent food. Open 24 hours I like that.we use the wafflehouse on 29 under expressway by Holiday inn.Vegetarian options: They are there thats all that counts”
“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!”
“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.”
“Of all the Waffle House locations in the area, the New Warrington location is by far THE BEST! The service is awesome, and the quality of what they serve is unequaled! Should you have the good fortune being able to dine there, I promise you will understand this post. They prove that there are still restaurants in the area in which all levels of quality are important!”
“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.”
“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.”
“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!”
“9/9/22: My hubby ordered the Mirella burger with extra cheese and onion rings. I ordered the pork quesadilla. Now I'll preface this by saying that I remember eating there once before but forgot what I ate.... So I get home and my hubby says, "don't you remember that you didn't care for the quesadilla last time?" and I said "I probably ordered the chicken one - this is the pork!" all proud of the fact that I got away with the memory loss BUT, the pork was too dry.... Hubby tells me the chicken last time was too dry too - oh well.... I did dip it in the sour cream which helped, but it almost feels like it needs guacamole or something inside with the meat - it did have enough cheese though! Anyway, he loves the burger (he obviously goes there more without me ) and just wanted me to note that he did not need 2 of the Lost Key sauces, 1 was plenty.Value was great and the service was great! I'll make sure I order something else now that I've noted it here.”

“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!”
“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!”

“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!???”

“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!”
“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”
“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 food. We ordered the grilled shrimp for an appetizer and it was sooo good. My boyfriend ordered all you can eat steamed shrimp. My oldest son ordered Cajun pasta with chicken, shrimp and broccoli in it. My youngest son ordered the kids popcorn shrimp and fries. I ordered the grilled platter- grilled shrimp and blackened chicken. My two sides were grits and shrimp and new potatoes. Since I didn’t want the shrimp slaw, corn fritter and and hush puppies, the waitress gave me the option to get another side. So I ordered broccoli. The alcoholic drinks were mediocre. The customer service was great. Our waitress was very friendly.”
“If you are looking for a frozen yogurt place near UWF, this is the best place to go! The place is super clean, great selections of yogurt and toppings. The staff was very helpful and very polite. If your family loves baseball, you should go visit this place. Frozen Ropes are really big in the community and always helping out and great events at their location!”

“I've been going to Tops Hamburgers for several years now when I'm in the area and love the burgers and fries. The food has always been very consistent. The place is ghetto but for some reason makes me think that's why the food is so good. Plus the prices are very good compared to other hamburger joints.”
“This coffee shop and the drowsy on Navy Blvd are the absolute BEST I usually go to one of them everyday if not everyday at least once a week and they never let me downthe “Milton” iced latte is my fav ?? ALSO customer service is always on point at this location !”
“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! ❤️”
“I haven't been in the coffee shop in awhile, but he does drive to my window now and then at the airport. HE'S NOT JUST THE COFFEE GUY, HE'S AN AWESOME GUY TOO!! Always good to see you and your wife. Have a wonderful day!! ?”
“Food was amazing, our waitress Keyiana, was informative, eager to help us out with the menu. Was delightful, kept up with our drinks without asking. She had an amazing personality would definitely recommend Sonny’s barbecue, and we would ask for Kiana “Key” again.Kid-friendliness: Key talked with the girls and played with them as well. All the staff that passed by the table spoke to the girls!!! Excellent place to bring your family.”
“This Chick-fil-A is always busy. The line does move relatively quickly and the food is always fresh. I love getting the southwest salad with the crispy tenders on top.”
“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 a little pricy but the food is great. They also serve a pretty large portion for the price. They don't list what their special sauce is however, to me it seemed similar to spicy mayo, so if you don't like spicy mayo, be sure to ask them about their I Heart sauce and what's in it. I myself am a bit sensitive to things like spicy mayo but can still eat it. Compared to the atmosphere of the interior, I felt that the menu was a little too loud and chaotic in appearance (plus the different colors on one side seemed random and nonsensical until you see a color key on the other side of the menu) plus it is not friendly to people who have color-blindness since it places mid-bright colors in dark colored backgrounds. My colorblind fiance was not able to read some areas of the menu. Nonetheless, I give this place five stars for the quality and portion sizes of the food.”
“First time at a Freddy's. Passed on the custard. The burgers were great! The onion rings were good. Fries were good but needed more salt. Best fast food burger I think.”
“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!”
“Asked for Babyback ribs with little to no "bark",,, got usual rack with burnt spots and they were almost dried out. So far best Sonny's is on Pine Forest Rd. Our waitress was great and attentive and,, very easy on the ”
“Everytime I visit, employees are always so kind and helpful. Greeting you, asking if you need anything. Kind of like a restaurant but fast food setting. Food is always great and they make it right if they get something wrong.”
“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.”
“soooo good! very kind. delicious food! authentic ital vegan vegetarian fresh from the garden scotch bonnet, spicy kimchi cabbage, fried plantains, rice and peas!!! can't wait to try scotch bonnet rasta pasta and whatever else you come up with. need to do a veggie society night whenever you get karaoke up!!! :) it doesn't need to be fancy.”
“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.”
“Single-handedly one of the best restaurants I’ve ever been to. Portion sizes were nice and big, our waiter Logan was probable the best waiter we’ve ever had friendly and helpful, and the food itself was amazing. 11/10”
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.”
“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!”
“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.”
“Excellent prices, friendly and helpful staff. Helps keep the budget in check, process better than normal grocery or wholesale. Clean and easy to navigate aisles. Prices are clearly marked, and the military does get a discount on select day of the week.”
“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.”
“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.”
“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!”
“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!”
“Love it!! Great Philly's! We will be back. And we went back!!! Best Philly's in NWF!!! They make you feel so welcome when you walk in the door. Thank you for what you do!”
“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.”
“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.”
“I have been coming here ever since they opened up! I have never been disappointed, The food is absolutelyamazing! I am addicted to their beef empanadas and frozen drinks! I have had many other menu items and I have been very pleased. I love the atmosphere with the music and such polite service. I will continue to keep coming!”
“My family absolutely loves getting food here. We make sure to stop by every other week if not every week. The owner, Angie is so kind & professional. The food never disappoints & service is great. We never wait more than 10 minutes for our food. Angie always recognizes us & knows our orders. I always bring my family here when they visit. All around just a great place with awesome food!”
“Most authentic Mexican tacos in Pensacola! We moved from California and have had no luck in finding some good tacos or Mexican food in general. Tacos el Amigo is legit you won't be disappointed!!”
“I’ve eaten at several Poke and Boba tea places and this is the best in the Pensacola/Pace area. Ordering is super easy, they don’t skimp on the toppings, and the staff are so polite. If we are going to eat Poke it’s here!”
“Great dinner with girlfriends tonight. The restaurant was packed, so we sat at the bar. Blackened shrimp and cheesy grits were really good. Service was great. Thank you Gunner for taking great care of us!”

Bonelli's
“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!”

“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!”

First Watch
“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.”
“Todd saved lunch with my wife, my mother, and my best friend! I don’t care to call the other waiter out by name, but he was incredibly rude dropping off some wine to my wife. Which I find odd, because he’s served me plenty of times before and I make a point to tip fat at Wine Bar. Anyway, Todd made it right and we appreciated him, and I’d like it to be publicly known that he’s the man. Thank you again! This place is generally so great, so 5 stars no matter what.”
“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! ❤️”

The inviting atmosphere and friendly staff create a welcoming environment for patrons to relax and enjoy their brews.”
“This place is awesome! The pizza is tasty and fresh; even the slices. I even went and purchased an additional slice. Everyone in my party was truly satisfied.. no complaints at all even from the pickiest eater. I will definitely be back, a lady told me the grinder is very good! Something to look forward to on my next visit.”
“Outstanding!!! All the way from Las Vegas!! Highly recommend!! Food was authentic and tasty! Looking forward to returning on our next trip.. Thank you yo my Son for the recommendation.”

“they're very nice and polite there excellent customer service and their egg rolls and the noodle salad is phenomenal I would definitely recommend it their food is delicious and a very nice atmosphere”
“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.”
“My BFF and I met for our dutch treat lunch. Typically, the place is packed at lunchtime, but thankfully, it was a slower, rainy day Monday. Tables are provided inside, and outside.My friend was craving a mufuletta. I do not eat pork, so I chose their corned beef reuben on marbled rye. My BFF brought me cupcakes from elsewhere.We're both blessed with hearty appetites; however, we each brought home 1/2 of our sandwiches. Prices are fair, and the food is delicious. Be sure to enjoy the artwork, and pieces of Naval history, too.Vegetarian options: They have a delicious Greek Salad. Just ask for their vegetarian options.Parking: Side and rear parking.Wheelchair accessibility: Ramp available.”
“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 really enjoy craft beer with great taste. Whoever is making the decision to brew these flavors has my kinda of palate. I tried 4 of them and they were all very good. Solitude was my favorite by far though.”
“This place nails it when it comes to the atmosphere and the food. Great overall experience, very friendly staff, and the sushi is fresh and amazing. We have been here more than a few times and will continue to be long-time customers. Big shoutout to all the staff at sake Cafe....Parking: Not a huge lot but easy to find an empty space.”
“We stopped in on the recommendation of our maintenance techs at our rental on 3/23/24.The food was top notch. Our Server, Victoria, was friendly, informed and knowledgeable. You know it's genuine that she enjoyed herself and the conversation because her smile didn't fade when she walked away.We'll be back this trip and every one in the future. 5 stars isn't enough!!!!”
“First time in my spring break trip I felt like I didn’t waste my money, you must try the blue cheese burger, the service was great, Lisa the server was fast and the chef zack nailed it. It’s a must to go!”
“This adorable little shop in East Hill, right between J's bakery and Jitter Bugs, has got to be my new favorite pizza joint. The staff were all very friendly and knowledgeable. My sister and I ordered a large chicken and waffle pizza, and an order of breadsticks.They were quite busy but we only had to wait about thirty minutes for our order. Let me tell you, it was one hundred percent worth the wait. The breadsticks were so hot and soft and delicious, it was like eating the warmest cloud. And the PIZZA! Oh my God, it was sweet and savory and little bit spicy. They use a hot honey butter base, and a drizzle of maple syrup over small squares of waffle and bits of chicken and bacon. This hands down, the best pizza I've had this year.So if you're in East Hill and got a craving for chicken and waffles, pizza, or just great atmosphere and people, check out East Hill Pizza, they were amazing and I'll definitely be back.”

Yummy Poke
“To go order... It was ready quickly and was delicious. It was my first poke bowl and I'll definitely order again!Parking: Lot is kinda too small for the amount of business here, but not much can be done in that space. Not a big deal.”
“Pizza was good nice atmosphere and quick service got a table right away and a nice menu of other options as well if you don't always want pizza would go back again.”
“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.”
“Absolutely the best fried pork skins in town! Pulled pork melts in your mouth, and the Brunswick stew is awesome. I know it sounds like an ad for Brothers, but seriously, check out this BBQ joint, you won't be disappointed!”
“I love the Açai bowls. I enjoyed the hospitality and warm welcome. The customer service was first class and they were very helpful. The environment was nice and clean.”
“I had a craving for fried oysters and Shannon's oysters really hit the spot! Their fried okra and cheese grits were really good also! I will be going back again soon!”
“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”
“The breakfast was great. Each dish we ordered was seasoned well. The presentation was spot on for each entree. We will definately revisit this diner on our next visit to Pensacola. Great food and service!”
“Ate at Mama and Papa's Tacos of Pensacola last night for the 1st time. WOW! Maybe the best Mexican restaurant I've eaten at anywhere. Great food, fresh, tasty, outstanding service. Everything that's important, they do well. We'll be regulars!”
“I am not sure who's grandma was back there cooking today but I had the southern bowl, and everything in that bowl was beyond awesome!! I had the Macaroni and Cheese, Yams, Collard Greens and Fried Chicken wings!”
“I've been here quite a few times. I even brought a few people along the last couple of times I've been so they can share the experience. The service is superb! The food is always fresh and delicious. They have the type of customer service that can just change your whole day. Keep up the great work!”
“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... ?”
“Second Experience and it was just as good as the first. Wonderful service. Host greeter was perfecto and our server, Britney, was excellent. Variety in the menu had things I hadn't seen in an restaurant offerings in a very long time. Wonderful tasting food prepared and served in a timely fashion. Have lived in and around Pensacola since 1986 and can say. "It's All Good". Treat yourself and family to a wonderful experience in dining by having a meal at the Scenic 90 Cafe.”

Nippon Sushi
“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.”

John seafood
“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”
“I ordered take out. I got the blackened grouper sandwich, the tuna dip and the shrimp and crab chowder.I was beautiful inside.The food was AMAZING not one complaint. I will definitely return.The only thing I can say, as I ordered takeout and when I got home and opened my boxes, they gave me the wrong food so unfortunately I had to go back to get my correct orderBut other than that everything was better than I ever expected.”
“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.”
“This place is a little pricy but the food is great. They also serve a pretty large portion for the price. They don't list what their special sauce is however, to me it seemed similar to spicy mayo, so if you don't like spicy mayo, be sure to ask them about their I Heart sauce and what's in it.

My colorblind fiance was not able to read some areas of the menu. Nonetheless, I give this place five stars for the quality and portion sizes of the food.”
“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 :)”
“My mom and I stopped here for the first time last week. The resteraunt is a little hidden along the road, but it's definitely not one to miss and worth the turnaround! The inside is small but adorable! Each table is equipped with everything you need plus lids to make take-home easy-peasy! The ladies who run the shop are soooo sweet! Everything we tried was delicious!”
“Great staff Great food Super friendly and service was unbelievable! A group of 11 @ 7:30 on a Saturday night and they treated us like VIP’s. Thank you for a wonderful evening and great food!”

Pizzaluté
“Not sure how this "find" of a pizzaria is doing with locals, but if they've never had a chance to eat the real thing in the Italian homeland, no need to rush out a get a passport: Pizzaluté should be a destination all its own. (Definitely worth the drive from Mobile!) This is truly authentic Neapolitan pizza made with love. Hand-stretched dough, baked quickly in a real, wood-fired Neapolitan oven, producing a bubbly, chewy crust, and a perfect char. This low-key place has invested where it counts...not in white-tablecloth service, but in a great oven and the best ingredients. Tomato sauce of perfect simplicity made from italian plum tomatoes. Fresh mozzarella. (Yes, FRESH. Not the usual, shredded stuff in plastic bags.) Fresh whole basil leaves. My only quibble with my margherita pizza would be the added garlic, which is not characteristic of the classic Margh, but I do like garlic;-) Beer bar is a fun added attraction. Even had a couple of quaffable wines on tap (a grüner veltliner and a pinot noir...would have loved a sangiovese). The gelato offerings are also a very nice thought for Pizzaluté's concept, but the flavors have more of a beach vibe than Italian. I did notice that the sweet cream flavor (fiordilatte, an Italian favorite) was almost sold out, so the local folks must have a taste for it! How about some stracciatella and nocciola?!Vegetarian options: Vegans have the option of a marinara pizza. Simple but great ingredients and execution.”
“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.”
“I noticed your holiday hours aren’t reflected on here. Please reach out to Grimy Studios on Facebook if you’d like help managing all of your online listings to keep your guests up to date at all times ? We’re local!”
“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!”
“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.”
“This was our first time visiting the Bavarian and It was a fantastic experience. Our server Lauren was great, she was friendly and helpful with providing suggestions and answering questions about food choices and beer selections, the Hefewiezen was very tasty. We had a couple of appetizers, the fried brie and trio of bread bites, and our dinners were schnitzel sandwich, Brats and Cheese Spaetzle, all great tasting and nice portion sizes. Like a lot of others, I have been to Germany and had authentic cooking. Is it exactly like Germany? Probably not to some, but its pretty close, closest I have had in the states at least. The manager stopped by the table to see how we liked our meal and I had to tell them that they were on point and everything was great!I personally have zero cons and plan on returning soon.”
“The atmosphere is so inviting and calm. The waitress was very attentive and polite and she was good at her job. And the food champagne chicken and bread pudding is as delicious as ever. Great girls lunch experience.”
“Stopped in for dinner on the way back from Pensacola. They were busy but got us in quickly. Service was great, we got drinks and were able to order quickly. The food was tasty, the shrimp were plump and tasted so fresh. They had a good sized menu with a variety of seafood, it was difficult to choose due to so many things looking good. The view was very nice, and it would be a good place for a romantic dinner.”
“Had to try the all you can eat! Got the boom boom shrimp as a appetizer and the white fish for all you can eat, and was able to try the blackened and fried before I couldn’t eat anymore. Great value, great food, and great service.”

Dharma Blue
“What a great experience. The food was amazing. The staff was amazing and the environment was spectacular. Place looks like a little home that was built in the early 1800s but that doesn’t stop it from bringing in some amazing flavors to the sushi. This is definitely on my top list of sushi places That I have visited. So definitely put this place on your to list when you reach Pensacola, Florida.Mealz And Dealz ?????”
“I accompanied my lovely fiancé to this restaurant and we were very pleased with the food and service. The prices are appropriate for the quality of the restaurant. We recommend the curry, and the Pineapple Paradise, both excellent choices. We will return.”
“This was one of the first places I tried when I first came Pensacola. Since then I have been back several times. Each time just as amazing as the last. The staff is always very nice and polite. Inside is a little small but I have been lucky and always get a table. Very modern atmosphere which is what I like most about it. There is also seating outside which is also nice so you can enjoy the downtown vibe and the beautiful weather. Food is of course amazing. One of my favorite things about this place is the fact they have a dedicated menu for vegans. I did not know this on my first visit. I asked if a dish was safe for vegans and the server said "oh would you like to see our vegan menu?" She was very nice about it and gave me a few more minutes so I can pick a new dish. All you have to do is ask for one. They have noodles, sushi, and so much more suitable for vegans so you won't be board getting the same thing over and over. No matter what you get it is going to be delicious. Honestly, this is probably my favorite spot on Palafox.”
“Was our first time. We were very impressed, food was HOT & delicious, large amount, atmosphere is friendly and inviting, restaurant was clean. Or waitress was super sweet and helpful. Definitely will be back!”

“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!”
“The bruschetta bread and toppings were excellent.The caesar salad was great, the house salad had NO lettuce and 3 cherry tomatoes and nothing else.Why do restaurants not use lettuce in salads any more ??The shrimp alfredo pasta was very good, and good size serving.Waiter that served seemed to be in a hurry - he did not tell us about specials or offer wine samples to help us decide with choice.I'm not sure if he knew the menu as well as he should?A restaurant trying to be 'high-in' and at this price point should be '5' star on everything.”

“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!!!”

“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!”
“This is my first time at this restaurant. I loved it! Great staff, food, and ambiance. I recommend the Mango Shrimp and the Queso Bite appetizers, Burrito Bowl for your entree, and Cactus Berry as your beverage. Not to miss!”
“There's a reason why their shop is always packed. Consistently great sandwiches and friendly staff. Menu may look expensive but you get what you pay for. Every time.”
“Had to try the all you can eat! Got the boom boom shrimp as a appetizer and the white fish for all you can eat, and was able to try the blackened and fried before I couldn’t eat anymore. Great value, great food, and great service.”
“I got the hamburger which you can get it any way you want it with a lot of different cheeses on it. Wife got the shrimp po boy. The loaded tater tots was awesome. And the restrooms are clean. It's a very busy place I like how you can choose to eat up top in the restaurant or under the restaurant. There's a small Beach and a dock right outside the restaurant. It's a very busy place so it's hard to find parking close to it. But the walk is well worth the food.”
“Overall best locals bar in town, all the bartenders and staff is A + three pool tables so you won't wait long to play. Outstanding karaoke nights weekly as well as a pool tournament once a week.”
“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!!”
“Okay my experience was great i loved the food. BUT my wife does not like seafood so the alternate types of food need to be good. The chicken tenders and fries were not cooked very good so my wife was not satisfied. So what happens is that if my wife doesnt have an option to eat then i cant eat at the seafood place at all ??”
“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 can’t say enough good words about the staff especially Natasha!! Thank you for such a great experience and pizza. Will definitely return in the future.”

“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!”
“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!”
“Food is outstanding. Best food you can get from a food truck in pensacola by far if you ask me. However, the online hours are not completely accurate so make sure you call ahead and make sure they are open before making the drive!”
“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 !”
“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.”
