A full service poolside bar and grill. One of the requirements of vacation is day drinking. It's even better when someone else is making the drinks. They offer a limited number of draught beers, a decent size cocktail list, and, canned alcoholic beverages. What better way to keep cool by the pool than with frozen drinks. Most of the frozen drinks can be made non alcoholic. My favorite was the piña colada. I added an additional rum float for a few extra dollars. I tried the margarita and it could stand to have a lot more lime and a little salt. The strawberry daiquiri was also another favorite. They offer a well rounded food menu. The appetizer menu offered standard fare. Including wings and nachos. Need a little more sustenance? I recommend one of the burgers or sandwiches. Feeling like something a little bit light? I recommend one of the rice bowls. Served with rice and protein served southwest, elote, or stir fry. We went with the hotdog. I was excited about the lobster roll bun it's served it. The bun was perfectly crisp and the hot dog well grilled and tasty. The chicken tenders were just ok, a little on the dry side for my taste. But the fries made up for chicken. They were cut like chips. They were perfectly crisp and very well seasoned. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The restaurant is covered outdoor with seating over looking the Gulf.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]The vibe is casual and no shoes no shirt is completely ok.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The bartenders are friendly fast and efficient. This is definitely a good go to spot for drinks and treats when spending a day at the pool or beach. read more

Fish Heads - Tacos Near Me - Pensacola Beach, Florida

Great experience overall at the restaurant and hotel. It was very convenient to not have to leave the hotel for quick meals and drinks. The fish sandwich was one SMALL fish tender on a bun. I cut it in half and put it side by side to fill up the bun. Flavor was good though. Pina coladas were ok, tasted like a mix was used, but they were strong, so that made up for it. Beware 22% service fee when ordering to go!! read more

Fish Heads - Great views all around! - Tacos Near Me - Pensacola Beach, Florida

[[HIGHLIGHT]]We walked in and it felt like a funeral....except a funeral would have had more people! There was absolutely NO ambiance, no beach appeal![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I'm not sure if it was because it was off season but it was horrible! The guy at the door tried his best and did greet us but we left! We returned the next day to order a piña colada and it was the first time in over 30 years I've ever thrown one away! It was horrible! Pure sugar! [[HIGHLIGHT]]Sad because this could be a hot spot and has a great view![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]I feel if I'm paying to be on the beach for vacation then I want to enjoy the atmosphere of a restaurant. I just still can't believe a restaurant directly on the beach could be so drab![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]They should redo the decor and add some beach tunes![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

I needed a reset on a Sunday afternoon so I headed to Fish Heads for a quick lunch. Their grouper fingers were fried perfectly and the quantity was a meal for a single person. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The covered deck was a great place to eat and journal a few thoughts while looking at the beautiful gulf.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] My server was both beautiful and kind. She allowed me the time to sit and reflect while I munched and drank tea. I left satisfied and ready for the balance of my day. read more

Fish Heads - Tacos Near Me - Pensacola Beach, Florida

Didn't eat, just had a strong top shelf margarita! It wasn't cheap, but that's okay because it was a good drink!

I'm a local and it was my first time eating at this restaurant, but it was very bad. I ordered a glass of water and chips and dip. I waited over 15 minutes to be served and then when my chips arrived, they were soggy and chewy like leather. I paid over $18 for my entire order which is mind blowing considering the water was free... do not go here! read more

Other than the crabby bartender on the afternoon of 4/6/26, it was great the remainder of our week.

Located behind the Fairfield Inn Hotel. Just reopened about a week or so. Didn't have everything together yet qlong with slow service. What a beautiful patio view of the beach. Delicious Street Corn, Grouper Fingers and Peel n Eat Shrimp. Check it out, its bound to improve with time. read more

Other than the restaurant location by the pool, it was a disappointing meal! Recommended once by phone and once by hostess, we went with high hopes! Calamari was chewy and bland! And how do you mess up a hot dog?? Idk, but it was pretty bad! Fish tacos were edible. Chicken strips were just okay. read more

Located on a beautiful stretch of beach sits Fish Heads. Service was quick and knowledgeable of the menu and provided some good recommendations. Dining on the coast can have same challenges, but our tall boy fire bird chicken sandwich stood strong. Portions are large so if you're relaxing at the pools like us, could easily split an item to fill yourself's. read more

We came here for a visit in May, before my husband got orders in December and Fish Heads is what sold me on Florida! The staff is so sweet, the shrimp tacos are cooked properly (and most importantly deveined compared to most seafood places around here), and the drinks are made perfectly! [[HIGHLIGHT]]Not to mention the view from your table...[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] For sure our weekly dinner place! read more

Right behind Fairfield Inn & Suites. For the price of about $20 for each entree, everyone received fair portions for the shrimp, fish and tacos. The fried foods were solid with the shrimp being the standout. The tarter & cocktail sauce seemed house-made and was tasty. Reasonable kid's meal prices. I'm sure we will be back for happy hour and to purchase food for our kids during the week. I would not skip this place but I definitely recommend ordering something simple. Great place for an affordable lunch or dinner. read more

Stopped here with my wife after a few days in Mobile and staying at the nearby hotel. It was nippy outside, and even though they had heaters outside, we chose the indoor seating alternative. The bartender, Austin, came in, took our beverage order and explained the items on the menu and described a few items that we questioned. And off he went with our orders. It was pretty slow due to chilly temps outside. Our entries were delivered pretty quickly and everything was as described and quite tasty. The grouper filet, blackened was solid and tasty and was enough to share with my wife's salad dish and Austin was attentive to our happiness with the food and service. The chef came out near the end and we chatted with him A great place to visit and dine. read more

Great experiences there this Spring Break! Friendly service and delicious food every time. We were staying at the Fairfield Inn and ate there several times for lunch and dinner. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The patio and bar overlooking the beach was perfect to enjoy the beautiful view![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Ordering takeout for the pool or to take back to the room was also easy. We loved the tacos (blackened fish, shrimp, grilled chicken and brisket burnt ends), coleslaw, French fries (more like chips but not too thin or thick), Caesar salad with grilled chicken and chips with salsa, guacamole and queso. It's rare to find a hotel restaurant that does everything right, especially these days. Hoping we go back in the future! read more

This place is sadly not as good as it used to be. The kids meals are super lame- and they give you barely any fries ( our sons came with 4 fries). They are basically charging a premium for lunch you'd get at a school only like half as much food. We came here last year and remember it being so much better. Save your money and time and go literally anywhere else. read more

While I forgot to take any pictures, I had a delicious red fish grilled with 6 jumbo shrimp for dinner. The potato fries were fabulous! I actually loved their salsa, so asked for a side of it once I had tasted my husband's. he had the bbq burnt end tacos and was surprised how much he liked them. My meal was 22$ and his 17$. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The outdoor ambiance of the ocean was fabulous![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Free parking at the hotel. read more

It's a hotel restaurant. That about sums it up. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It has a great spot on the ocean next to the pool. Great views of the surf and the sky. A great place to come watch a sunset and get a drink[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]. It does have a full bar. The food is uninspiring, though. The chips and salsa are straight-up bagged chips and bottled salsa, canned queso, and store-bought guacamole. And some of the chips were stale and limp. I did have the southwestern bowl the next night, and it was better, but not anything I would drive an extra couple of miles to get. Since I was staying at the hotel, and the weather was crappy, I was kind of forced to eat there. If you stay at Fairfield, and the weather is nice, there are much better options available to you on the main drag in front of the hotel. read more

We are staying at the hotel, and it is fantastic to walk up and grab food and drinks all day long. Salads, fries, calamari all great!!!! All of the bartenders and wait staff are lovely. Great beach vibe read more

I was surprised on how good the food and service was at Fish Heads. [[HIGHLIGHT]]No waiting and available by the pool side, excellent location.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I will definitely recommend the grilled shrimp. The coleslaw was outstanding. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The bartender made the ambiance very relaxing.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Strongly recommend. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Great food and fun atmosphere ... right on the beach![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We went here a lot during our stay!

Go for the view and wonderful service, but the food will leave you wishing you had gone someplace else! The "fresh fish" tacos we had today were extremely gross, obviously defrosted and served with an extremely salty sauce and stale salty chips. After $85 for 3 beers and 2 fish tacos, we couldn't wait to leave! It's sad, this was our favorite lunch spot before the rebuild, but now all the cost cutting they've done has left the food quality lacking. read more

If you want overpriced cocktails (little to no alcohol) and ok service, this is the place for you. I almost never leave bad reviews but if I'm paying $28 for a 16oz beer and a pina colada it better be damn good! Recommend hitting up another place for drinks, wouldn't go back.. read more

The service was great. The boiled shrimp was awesome. Would definitely go back. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The beach view was great and so was the breeze.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

Being new to Florida we have been trying many places. I'm so glad we tried Fish Heads today. Cool beach atmosphere with breezes that take you away. I was really impressed with the food. The corn, grouper, shrimp & nachos were very satisfying. And the view omg it's drop dead gorgeous here. read more

I'm giving the restaurant 3 stars due to the service, it was great, but the food, not so much. We were staying at a nearby hotel and stopped in for lunch. The male bartender and blond female bartender were great! Service was great, they were friendly and made us feel welcomed. We ordered a few cocktails and lunch. My husband ordered a chili cheese hot dog with coleslaw, his hotdog was cold. He said it tasted like they pulled it right out of the refrigerator. I ordered the chicken sandwich and it was ok, it tasted like your usual bar food. I was disappointed in the grouper fingers, there was no flavor, the breading was bland and the fish was kinda dry. I would definitely go back for a drink and the view but would probably skip ordering food. read more

Great view. Servers very friendly. Great fried shrimp and waffle fries. Good cheeseburger.

Service is wonderful and the food is fresh, will come back again! Had the fresh catch tacos blackened. Seasoning was perfect and delicious. Best view on the beach read more

The food & drinks were great, no complaints. We had the margarita shrimp tacos, the fish tacos & chicken tenders basket. The service was a little slow and kind of chaotic at times but it's to be expected. They're new and gotta work out the kinks. They could utilize an expediter or food runner and that would help a lot from what we saw. The servers just seemed a little flustered. I'll definitely be back soon to see the changes and to check out the inside of the restaurant because it wasn't ready yet we were told. It's a great location with great ocean views and no doubt they'll bang out once everyone settles in. I'm glad they opened a new restaurant there and really hope they succeed. Go check them out, you won't be disappointed. read more

We checked in to the hotel onsite and was tired so we went to Fish Heads knowing it wouldn't be great. That evening we were pleasantly surprised by the wait staff and the food was okay. We decided to go there again on the weekend and I ordered Nachos that came out cold...like refrigerator cold. I sent it back and it came out cold again. They did nothing with it and just sent it back out. The manager was there and never came to our table to apologize. He looked to be on a weekend bender. It was just a weird experience the second time around. read more

Great view.sloppy sandwich.bun fell apart. Wear old clothes.dripped all over. Taste was ok . Wife was wearing white for beach. No no Will return when they get commercial bun's not waltown brand. read more

Great drinks - pina coladas made with real pineapple juice and coconut cream (not a mix). Fish was fresh caught from Maria's and staff is attentive and kind. Gorgeous gulf view and open air seating. We stayed at the beach club and walked over multiple times. Would consider staying here next time - restaurant overlooks the pool and it was a whole vibe. Former local, hoping this place gets support to remain open long term! read more

Fish Heads - a drink and a book on a table at the beach - Tacos Near Me - Pensacola Beach, Florida

I know the weather had something to do with them not opening for lunch but I bet the scenery and ambiance would be awesome. Ordered dinner service and the bartender/server was super busy, he forgot a portion of my order, but the food was delicious. He did provide me with a discount for the error of the order, but since he was so busy the order was slow. Really needed 2 on staff so was really not his fault. read more

The experience was great! Annette was so nice and helpful. We had a great lunch. Fish tacos and fish platter.
