We attended an event at Gather location of 41 Navy Blvd. The 5 course prefix menu was $75 per person. This experience was a roller coaster ride. The amuse-bouche with the black garlic mouse was amazing. I was told that is available at the Farm on Mobile Hwy. I will running there tomorrow to get some more! Yum! The shrimp with the corn is also great. They use two different shrimp celebrating the gulf. One was your typical gulf shrimp and the other was royal red. I would love to say that royal reds are trash shrimp to keep to prices down. Yeah, ignore that I mentioned royal reds. It's an acquired taste. Ignore that I even mentioned it. But I can't, it's cheapest shrimp you can buy and it tastes like lobster and shrimp at the same time. It is one of those shrimp that should be kept only in the gulf coast. Make them travel for this shrimp! With that said, keep this shrimp on the down low. Lets keep this one as local secret. ;) The chicken course was a bit on the salty side. The chicken alone was salty and the mole and the pesto competed with one another. This dish needed editing. I would do away with the pesto and it would have been almost perfect with just the mole and the rest of the accompaniments. The beef cheeks... since smoked looked like two lumps of charcoal on my plate. It was unfortunate sight; however, what was not unfortunate was the taste! The cheeks were tasty along with the grits and the greens. I was like, "okay, they are back on track!" The dessert, which was three types of bread budding flights. I am not really a bread pudding fan because I know, like fried rice, the bread is a day old. This is why I am not a fan of bread pudding because I know the bread is usually from unused bread from the previous day. Same thing with stuffing/dressing it is from day old bread. I do love some good stuffing/dressing if made correctly and not looking like a cat regurgitated on the carpet. This bread pudding tastes and had a consistency of a bread pudding that has been sitting out for hours waiting to be served. It was stale. Noted, they had1st service started at 5pm and ended at 7pm. We were at the 8pm second service (last). This bread pudding tasted like it was made at 4:55pm and sat there until 8:55 to be served. It tasted like left over french toast. My suggestion for them is to use 3 oz ramekins for each bread pudding and stick them in the oven when the chicken course is served. When they are done, the fourth course should be done, and desserts are ready to be served. I love when they have pop up events at the Gather location 41 Navy Blvd. I love going here and supporting local business who are going to be the next superstars in the Pensacola food scene. Look for their pop up events on Facebook. These groups of talented individuals are trying to give Pensacola something new. Give them a try. The Gather is by Pensacola Cooks Kitchen giving local restauranteurs a location to operate their small businesses. read more

Absolutely loved it. We did the macaroon baking class. The chefs were very helpful. So much fun. Will definitely do more classes.

We had an AMAZING time learning about gulf coast seafood from Chef Josh! The classes here are awesome - you don't just learn recipes, you learn a ton about spices, foods, etc. This was such a fun date night but I'd also love to go back with friends and family. Such a great way to spend a night :) Highly recommend to anyone who is even thinking about it! My only suggestions would be that they play music for some background noise (it was a little quiet at times, some music would liven it up even more!) and that they split up the food by group vs. table. We were at a table of four (myself & my boyfriend across from a couple we didn't know - who were lovely btw!) and the four of us all split kitchen tools and ingredients - would have been a more "hands on" experience if Pensacola Cooks gave each couple their own tools, ingredients, stovetops, etc. kerr read more

It was a fun activity to get out and do something different! I wish there was a way to fill the seats of the no shows though! It would also be nice if there were perhaps classes for beginners V Non-beginners as I would have liked to be able to be more interactive in each step however, the majority of the class struggled to keep up lol. I'm interested in taking a class with another chef and seeing the differences. Ours was great (A fusion class), the location is great, plenty of parking! The staff is really awesome too read more

This is for yesterday's class. This establishment is great. They have a very nice operation and set up. We are from Tallahassee, FL and we enrolled our 13 year old son in the teen's baking course. The staff is great and my son came out of class very excited!! Mrs. Jack Selbi is very nice, professional, and very easy to talk to. read more

Pensacola Cooks Kitchen - Front door. - Kitchen Incubators Near Me - Pensacola, Florida

A restaurant doesn't need a huge menu with 50+ dishes...if it has a few dishes that have been perfected. Such is the case with Pensacola Cooks Kitchen. In my few months in Pensacola, I was able to come here a few times and sample some of their offerings. PCK is a small restaurant, from the outside, it's very easy to miss; my taxi driver drove past this spot 2x before we realized where it was..loll Inside, there's maybe seating for 15 people with additional picnic-style tables and benches outside. Interior decor is simple but warm, and gives you the feeling you're dining at someone's home. But what it lacks in appearance, it makes up in spades with their food. Some of their signature entrees are their pork schnitzel, Moco Loco, Chicken Adobo, and Pork Loin stuffed with sausage. They also make amazing Lumpia, which are Filipino spring rolls with pork filling. They also make delicious sandwiches and their desserts are all made in-house and in limited batches. My personal favorite is their pork schnitzel, topped with their signature mushroom cream sauce and served with sides of squash and mac n cheese. For dessert, they make an incredible red velvet cheesecake! I would highly recommend anyone who enjoys good food, to try the food at PCK. Their food is delicious, great quality and definitely prepared with love and fairly priced. :D read more

The interactive classes advertised are limited due to limitations off the wiring in the building. Until rectified I would prefer a show and eat format. The location is nice, clean and safe. The owners and instructors were a pleasure to be with and the fellow students really provided me with some well deserved adult conversation. :) I would give it another try. read more

Took part in a cooking local seafood class and it was an outstanding experience. Would higly reccomend the experience. The store front in a shooping mall was not the best indicator for what was about to happen but getting past that and through the door was the only obstacle to a wonderful evening. We will be going back read more

Came back here a second time and it was just as good! Had the lumpia and moco loco with a side of sauteed egg plant and a fried sunny side egg on top!! The moco loco with the mushroom cream sauce over rice was amazing!! Get the FRIED EGG!!! It's so good with everything mixed in! The lumpia was fresh and try it with the mushroom cream sauce! It was so good!!! For dessert, I ordered the peanut butter and chocolate pie. It tasted exactly like a peanut butter cup, delicious! I can't wait to try even more items off the menu! read more

Great fun night out with the Hubby! Now my Hubby can cook, at least one meal! Would love to do it again!

This is a tiny little hole in the wall, tucked away on Barancas Avenue. And I do mean little. Their are only 2 tables, and the rest of the seats are at the counter. But you don't come here for the ambience. You come here for the food. The portions are large, and the comfort food is filling. Even the sides are large. Hubby had the schnitzel with stewed veggies, then spaetzle with mushroom gravy, and the bacon mac and cheese as sides. Whoa! Talk about a lot of food! The schnitzel was bigger than the plate, but it was also quite tasty (yes, I took a few bites). The mac and cheese was real homemade, not like the stuff with too gooey artificial cheese. I had the spinach salad special which came with onions, zucchini, tomatoes, topped with crumbled eggs and balsamic. It was fresh and very filling. The only thing I wasn't crazy about was the spaetzle, but I'm not a fan anyway. Unfortunately, their hours are limited to Tues - Fri: 11-3; and Friday 5-9. But definitely good, homemade comfort food. read more

Ok y'all, I have found another hidden gem in Pensacola! It's a small hole in the wall with fresh, locally sourced ingredients with a flavor and taste that smack your taste buds and wanting for more! I had the collard greens with smoked turkey in a vinegar base...perfect, Mac n cheese with 5 cheeses and smoked to perfection. Plus, my main course was a smoked pork loin stuffed with smoked sausage smothered in a homemade mushroom sauce. On top of that, yes I'm a fatass on this intermittent fasting, I also had pickled cucumbers with pickled onions and peppers as an appetizer. All of this was less than $13 for lunch with a veteran discount! I will be back! read more

It's too bad this place is open a limited amount of time: Tuesday - Fridays, 10:30 am - 3:00 pm. It's definitely one of the best restaurants in Pensacola. The chefs here exhibit their culinary passion via amazing/unique dishes--some Filipino-style. As far as seating goes, there are only countertops that surround the open-style kitchen and the window that faces the street. Additionally there is a picnic table outside where you get a view of the gravel parking lot. A lot of military folks in uniform come here to devour a delicious lunch. You must try their Best Ever BLT and the Moco Loco (with a sunny side egg). The house-made potato chips are also on point. They occasionally have specials which I can't wait to try. I highly recommend PCK--the truth among restaurants in P-cola! read more

WOW! I'm still trying to collect myself. This was undoubtedly the best meal I've had in quite some time. I had no doubt from the reviews it was gonna be good, but I didn't know this good was possible. I had the Moco Loco, they were sold out greens and was hesitant at first of the substituted cabbage, rookie move on my part. The cabbage was outstanding! Come in early to make sure they've still got food. This place does some serious business and is prone to running out!! I can not wait to return! read more

I can't believe how incredibly good the food is here. I read the yelp reviews and decided to stop here for lunch with my daughters. One of them ordered the meatloaf with a side of collard greens and Mac n cheese. She loved it! I got the grilled chicken with mushroom cream sauce, smashed potatoes & asparagus (the daily vegetable). It was incredible -- I wanted to lick the plate. The sweet tea was perfect and refreshing. Service was friendly and fast. Things to be aware of: This place is tiny and easy to miss on the road. We drove past twice before finding it. It's hard to sit 3 people together. There's a bar counter and a few tables. If there's 3 of you, avoid peak hours, and expect to sit at the bar counter. There's some outdoor seating, too. Overall, awesome food at a reasonable price! Will return for sure. read more

So I ordered the meatloaf and it was really good, but I gave them a four stars due to it being a day old and I could slightly taste it. But the gravy on it made it a slight taste. The gravy is super good and the asparagus was cooked just right. The whole dish cost me about $11. I also finished my meal with the carrot cake which was enough for two. I really loved this small place and would recommend it to anyone that wants some simple great tasting food! Plus, they're super friendly and give military discount. read more

Pensacola Cooks Kitchen - They do cooking classes here and here's a sample of the February 2019 schedule or at least a chunk of it. - Kitchen Incubators Near Me - Pensacola, Florida

OMG, quite the little divey place that serves eclectic way satisfying cuisine. No not food cuisine, the chefs know what there doing and take pride in what they do. This is a small restaurant, just about five tables and counter service. Plus you have tables outside and as the weather cools down I think outside would be the place to sit. But, the ambience is a dive. It's an old diner. However, this old diner can knock out some food. I imagine that the hostess, was the owner to. Or utilize the space to teach cooking techniques, and to rented out for parties. I think that's a great idea. I passed by this place 1000 times, and never thought anything of it. Until I heard someone talking about it and how wonderful the food was. So, today I went there and I ordered the exact same thing that they had ordered. I ordered the pork schnitzel, the red cabbage, and the spatzel. Oh, at least I forget the mushroom gravy. All of it was out of this world. But, the mushroom gravy was phenomenal eat that off of a shoe. Well, as soon as I got home I texted a friend, saying we got to come here, because the food is awesome. And to think, for five years I've driven by this place never give a mention. read more

Do not be put off be the appearance of this hidden gem. You will be sorry. Everything is fresh, homemade and delicious. I had the schnitzel: a huge golden disk of pounded pork tenderloin. Delectable mushroom cream sauce l had on the side. Spaetzel was literally made to order...from dough. Red cabbage to die for . Hubby had a huge slab of meatloaf with smashed red potatoes, and red cabbage. Nice folks are a plus. If we lived here I guarantee we'd be regulars. As it is, breakfast tomorrow is a definite possibility. read more

This place is absolutely amazing! Service: Great individuals. Very friendly and quick to make sure you enjoy your experience. Food: Unbelievable! I can't put into words how good this is. I've had samples off friends plates and none disappoints. WOW! If you're in town or just passing through, stop here and thank me later! Enjoy! read more

Mind Blowing Phenomenal food! I would seriously write a longer review if I wasn't falling happily into a food coma. The chef was super nice and even joked around with us. We couldn't believe how amazing the food looked let alone how it tasted. Recommend the BLT to anyone who has to try the best spin on a regular sandwich. Hopefully when it gets hotter they will have outside seating ! Such a great place! read more

Best BLT I've ever had. Crispy bacon. Fresh lettuce and tomatoes. Just enough mayo. And the fried bread made the sandwich. Yes, fried bread! The chips also has an awesome seasoning. Definitely come hungry. Only open for breakfast and lunch so get there early. I'm definitely going back. read more

While in P'cola a couple weeks ago, I found myself looking for a unique lunch-time dining experience. After a quick look at earlier reviews, I decided on Pensacola Cooks, and glad that I did! This is a classic case of, "don't judge a book by its cover". In fact, after pulling in to the gravel parking lot, and looking at the less-than-upscale building, my co-worker looked at me, like "are you serious?" I assured her that it would be okay. It was way more than okay, it was amazing! Sure, the AC could have been a bit more robust, but once we adjusted to the "warmth" of the small dining area on a hot and muggy May afternoon, we discovered food that was super gourmet, delicious and a great value. I had meatloaf and my guest had the best BLT, ever. The sides were perfect and the homemade berry cobbler was just what we needed. The service was super friendly, as well! I'll be back!!! read more

First time eating here. I decided to try their pork adobo, which was over rice and came with the veggie of the day, as well as, a cucumber salad. I paid $9 and some change, which in my opinion is not so bad. Being that I am Filipino and grew up on adobo, I know only the taste that I grew up on. Their adobo wasn't like home, but it wasn't bad either. The cucumber salad was a little strong on the vinegar or rice wine vinegar, but that honestly didn't stop me for devouring it. I was hoping for more of the traditional Japanese flavor. Today's veggies were cooked carrots and they were delicious. Overall, I was satisfied and looking for to trying more on their menu. read more

Awesome! Best place I've eaten yet on our trips to Pensacola/Perdido Key. Delicious fresh food and marvelous service. Prices were unbeatable for the size and quality of the food. I feel like we tried just about everything..... BELT w/ mayo - the best BLT (with fried egg) I've ever eaten! House chips- delicious! Cucumbers- yum! Spaetzle- wonderful! Stuffed pork loin with rice- flavorful, moist, no complaints. Chicken fingers- Panko crusted, tender and great flavor. Pumpkin pie with crumble topping - yum Cookies- all good. Friends got....the meatloaf, mashed potatoes and green beans and a burger. It all looked amazing. read more

My wife and I decided to try this place because of the high ratings on yelp. We came and Carol the waitress made us feel right at home. My wife ordered a BLT with homemade chips. I had the meatloaf with cabbage and mashed potatoes. Frank , the cook prepared our lunches. It came out looking more like art than lunch. My wife said its the best BLT she has ever had. I did everything but lick the container on my meatloaf. We came in as first time patrons, but now we are regulars read more

Foodies will love this place. There is an obvious affection for food and flavor here at Pensacola Cooks Kitchen. Most of the seating is arranged around the galley kitchen where diners have full view to the preparation of their dish. The chefs behind the counter seem to have an energetic passion for their honorable vocation as they chat and smile with guests while their frenzied hands go about their work. And what talented work is at hand in their menu offerings. Offering comfort foods such as meatloaf, bacon wrapped sausage stuffed pork loin, chicken adobo, open faced BLT, hot sandwiches and more--there is much to take comfort in at Pensacola Cooks Kitchen. Everything that I have tried here has been excellent. The prices are under $10 a plate which makes for an exceptional value. PCK is now a mandatory stop when I'm near Pensacola; and I won't be surprised when I return someday to see a long line out the door when the secret finally gets out on this place. read more

There is are things I loved. And nothing to hate. Love: vibe, ambiance, employees, other patrons, and some of the food. The schnitzel is perfect!!! It doesn't need gravy. I would prefer lemon, parsley and capers. I ate it plain. The mushroom gravy is fine - but the schnitzel is so dang good - I just wanted a bit of herb and acid. I would eat this every day. The Mac and cheese is great. And the bacon was sprinkled on top, so I'm sure it can be made vegetarian. Cons: Wasn't as keen on the adobo/rice dish. It was very salty - and I like salt. Turnip greens - or collards were too sweet for me. Overall- I have a feeling they have several standout dishes (like the schnitzel). And I loved the vibe - so I want to go back. read more

Small little place, but had a great experience. The cooks were super friendly and the owner even came by to chat with us. Overall atmosphere was laid back and pleasant. Food was amazing. Got the Best Ever BLT and it was the best I've ever had and I don't even really like BLTs. Husband got the Cuban, which he really enjoyed. Our meals came with homemade chips, which were in my opinion the best homemade chips I've had. Nothing was left-gobbled it all up. I like that they get all their ingredients locally and from their own garden in the back. Everything was fresh and well made. read more

Simply Amazing! Think of a five star restaurant food in a classic diner style setting at fantastic prices.

We are in Pensacola on vacation and I came across this place on yelp with all these stars! Now there arent too many places that really deserve 5 stars, in my view. But with 188 reviews under their belt I had to have a look see and taste. PCK is tiny to say the least, but clean and orderly. There was 4 in my party, two of us had the schnitzel, oone the moco loco and one the bacon mac & cheese. Sides between us were smashed potatoes, red cabbage, and collard greens. I can only say there were no leftovers, not a sliver of food to go. One of us is the pickiest of eaters and one is never to finish a meal. These meals were enjoyed to the fullest and we will be returning for lunch in a day or two. Don't judge this book by its cover! The story inside is amazing! read more

My husband and I just found this place on a whim. We've lived here 2 years and never knew of It! Well, we were on our way to auto zone and we both declared we were hungry. I pull out my yelp app and searched for restaurants in the neighborhood. I always try to support mom and pop shops and this place already had outstanding reviews, perfect! My husband got the special, lumpia with a side of noodles. He enjoyed his meal, and the spring rolls are made by a Filipino! Even better. I had the chicken adobo with Jasmine rice, I've never had it before and it was very delicious. The tall chef, who is not Filipino made the dish, gushed the lady who rolled the lumpia. I became obsessed with the adobo, soy sauce, vinegar, bay leaves and garlic.... What's not to love?! The meat was tender and cooked perfectly. We came back a second time, on a Monday, and my husband had the special again, this time it was Bavarian chicken and sauerkraut. The chicken was seasoned very well and the kraut was good. I had the adobo again but it was not as tender this time around. That's alright, the flavor was still there. We had one slice of their chocolate delight for dessert. A shortbread style crust with creamcheese, chocolate pudding and whipped cream with chocolate shavings. It was so damn good, we ordered a second slice after the first. I hate sharing... The staff are super friendly, as is the chef. I like the seating arrangement, the long bar style table surrounding the cooking action is my favorite spot. It is a tad cramped but this isn't supposed to be a high class joint. This is like your grandma's kitchen, delicious home cooking made with so much love, you can feel it. read more

Boy am I glad we chose this place for lunch. We're visiting the area for a couple of weeks and I searched Yelp. Judging by the amount of cars, I knew we found the right place and we did. Don't let the gravel parking lot or the country setting discourage you. I chose the schnitzel with red cabbage and spatzle and it brought me back to all the great meals I had when stationed in Germany. The cooks there are so friendly. That made us feel like we'd been regulars for years. I'd love to become a regular there, but I guess we'll have to go back home eventually. Maybe! read more

I ate here for lunch yesterday. Best home cooked meal I've had at a restaurant. Don't get me wrong. I like to cook just as much as the next person. But sometimes you just want to go out for a good meal but still have that home cooked feel to it. This is the place just for that. I ordered the grilled chicken with their mushroom cream sauce. My wife would have thought someone stole my phone when I write this. The mushroom sauce is absolutely amazing. It was so good I wanted it again today for dinner. Sad news, they don't serve the same things for lunch and dinner. But that is just fine. Their dinner menu looked just as good as the lunch menu. I did have the opportunity to try the fresh chips. They needed just a little more seasoning, but they were perfectly cooked. Also, I tried the meatloaf wrapped in bacon that was smoked. Very smoky flavor. It was a little strong for me but the others I was with who ate it said it was great. I don't think you can go wrong with this great little hole in the wall. read more

This place is fire! I'm a picky eater and don't really go out of my comfort zone when it comes to foods usually and this was my first time having schnitzel. I saw it on the food network the other day apparently it's a favorite food in Germany) it's just thinly sliced pork that is breaded and fried it's amazing. The mushroom cream sauce is bomb as well. Overall food was FIRE :) Forgot to mention: The place isn't fancy and the stools are kind of uncomfortable and there's only 2 tables.. but it's definitely awesome for lunch. Also some lovely person paid for our meal due to us being in uniform. People are friendly and food is good. Will come back for sure!!! read more
