The portions are on the smaller side. We were still hungry after we left. I was most disappointed with the lobster roll - the fries were better.

If you like discovering real local spots instead of big chain restaurants, Crazy Horse Café in…read morePensacola is exactly the kind of place you're hoping to find. It's definitely a hole-in-the-wall, but those are usually the places with the best food. This was my second time eating here and both visits have been fantastic. My friend Peggy and I stopped in and started with the fried mushrooms, which were excellent. We both ordered the fried chicken with fried okra, and it was just good old-fashioned Southern comfort food done right. Crispy, flavorful, and exactly what you want when you're craving something classic. Our waitress Grace took great care of us and made the whole experience even better. Friendly service like that really makes a place stand out. Sometimes the best restaurants aren't the fancy ones -- they're the small local places that just do everything right. Crazy Horse is definitely one of those. I'll absolutely be back.

If you are looking for a hidden gem serving some of the best fried seafood in the Pensacola area,…read morelook no further than Shannon's Seafood Kitchen. It is everything you want from a classic Florida seafood dive. The restaurant sits in a spot you could probably drive past a hundred times and never give a second thought. It is tucked away enough that if you did not know it was there you might miss it completely. But once you stop in, you will be glad you did. The atmosphere is modest, casual, and clean. It feels like one of those small family owned meat and three restaurants you find all over the South. The only difference is this one specializes in seafood. The service is as sweet as the iced tea and the conversations with the staff flow just as easily. Everyone was friendly and welcoming in that genuine small town way. The food was outstanding. Simple, fresh, and absolutely delicious. The seafood was fried perfectly and seasoned just right. The fish was flaky and hot straight out of the fryer, and the fried shrimp were crisp and flavorful. Even the sides were great and tasted homemade. You can tell right away that the owners and staff genuinely care about what they do. Their pride in the food and the restaurant really shows in the quality of everything they serve. If you ever find yourself craving a big piece of fried fish or a basket of shrimp, Shannon and her crew will absolutely deliver. Tip: Do not let the outside fool you. This is exactly the kind of local seafood spot that ends up becoming a regular stop once you discover it. Well done.

The restaurant has beach access so it is very convenient. When you come in, you can take an open seat and a staff member will come by quickly to take your drink orders. The vibe is an open air bar and grill with one table having a former life as a surfboard. You will notice that everything is served on disposable paper plates. These are very sturdy, and different sizes. Cutlery is also plastic and comes in a plastic bag. So, the Salty Rose is not trying to be anything more than the vibe implies. Also, I am sure that this is what the Salty Rose is so efficient. The best thing I had was the Gulf Fish Sandwich. The size of fish far exceeds the diameter of the bun. The bun was advertised as Brioche, but it seemed to be a standard hamburger bun. I say this because I had the Smash Burger (also good) and it was on a brioche bun. I learned that the lettuce and tomato caused the meat/fish to slide off and out of the bun, so I removed it. My wife and I split the quesadillas and they were excellent. I would recommend asking for additional Pico and a side of salsa. We also split the Chicken Nachos on two occasions. My wife had the salad twice and loved the lemon vinaigrette. A bonus is on the weekend, they had a live band. So if you are staying at the Pensacola Beach Resort, this is a great place to take a break from the beach for lunch!!

Always a great experience....until last night. The new manager (who has been there since September, as she told us) looked at our catch with disgust on her face. Said they will only cook it if we actually catch it. And told us they have NEVER cooked shrimp. She also told us the price is $13.95 per person, yet the menu clearly states per pound. Maybe this is a new policy that was implemented when she started in September. And we're ok if this is the new policy, but the attitude and rudeness of this manager was absolutely not necessary. The restaurant was quite busy as it should be during this time of the year. But when all the tourists leave, they are left with the locals. Unfortunately, these locals will not be coming back nor will we recommend The Sandbar to our quests who rent our two condos.

And by cozy, I mean you blink and you've seen all 11 terminals. It's so small if you miss your gate, you can probably still hear them calling your name from the parking lot. Naturally, I "ran into" Beach House... mainly because it's the only place to run into. But thank God it was there. I ordered the bowl and the wings, and listen I was hungrier than a hostage. That food didn't just hit the spot, it tackled it. The wings were on point, crispy and sauced like they meant business. The bowl? Cleaned it like it owed me money. After a week of work, that meal felt like PTO for my taste buds. Now let's talk about Kourtney. Airport service can sometimes feel like, "Here's your food, good luck in life." But not Kourtney. She delivered the kind of service you don't expect in an airport especially when most customers are one-and-done travelers she may never see again. She was friendly, attentive, and on it. Absolute pro. If airport hospitality had a Hall of Fame, she's first ballot. I know I'll be back working the Panhandle again, and when I do, I'm pulling up to Beach House before I even check my gate. For now 100% recommend. Small airport, big flavor, and service that actually makes you smile before getting crammed into seat 23B.

The Pensacola airport does not have an endless supply of eating/drinking establishments, but what they do have works just fine. That includes Pensacola Beach House, a nice spot for a drink or maybe some bar & grille fare. We had a flight to catch and a thirst to quench. Pensacola Beach House met one of those two needs, serving up the locally sourced Pensacola Bay Brewing's brown ale in a bottle. A smashingly good choice! Though we did not eat, the service was excellent, and I did ogle the young man's street tacos next to me, which looked pretty fantastic. I was admittedly not hungry, so maybe next time. It is super easy to find on the only real concourse, great service, nice space, and not airport-priced. I think I paid $7-8 for a bottle of beer, which is not outrageous for an airport. Great spot!
