Service great. Atmosphere cool. Food is mediocre. Burger sucked. Tenders over fried in old oil. Pasta was ok. Lobster roll was below ok. No flavor at all! Not worth $30. Bbq was the only thing that was decent. This place is overrated. Shout out to the host and server, they both rocked. But I'm definitely not coming back here. read more

During our visit to Pensacola, from California we stumbled upon this little gem for a cocktail. We sat at the bar and had the pleasure of having Stephen as our bartender. He not only made us great drinks but he was also very engaging and fun to converse with. He told us about the happy hour so we returned later that afternoon to check it out. We ordered the best oysters, fresh from that day and shucked to order. The sauce selection was fantastic, as was their house made sauce (which we bought two bottles of to bring home). At only $1 an oyster they were a steal. The BBQ shrimp was incredible. House-made Louisiana style BBQ sauce was to die for. It comes with garlic bread to soak it up with. Beautiful atmosphere, excellent drinks, great bartenders (Stephen & Dina), fantastic service. Highly recommend stopping in and trying it out. You will not be disappointed! read more

My husband, friend, and I dined at Slicked Lips this evening. We loved it! The oysters were excellent. My husband said his fish was delicious. And Carrie, our waiter, was fantastic. We will definitely be returning in the near future! read more

The tuna dip is great. Gumbo is full of flavor and the oysters ( chargrilled ) were prepared perfectly. Our server was great, friendly and helpful. Not too noisy and nice decor. Will definitely try more options next time. Oh yeah. The spicy margarita and sangria were also great. read more

Stopped in on Gallery night and was highly impressed. The bacon bombs, gumbo, and crab crusted grouper were all amazing! Everything was cooked perfectly and so flavorful. The great service and $2.50 happy hour wine just put this place on the top of my go-to list! We enjoyed it so much, we returned for lunch the next day. Highly recommend. read more

The meat-eaters in my group were satisfied with this place. There wasn't a lot for vegetarians to eat, and I'm told the oysters were just OK. The ambiance was fun, though. read more

Reserved a group of six during Gallery night. Seated by five pm restaurant was 15 % full. Ordered drinks note the menu is highest priced I've ever seen on Palifox. Our $8 wine showed up in plastic cups!!!!! Staff is very confused had to flag down one to order our overpriced meals. Server shows up after a long wait brought food that wasn't ours. Finally some of our food came and it was cold. My friend got his entree then 20 minutes later they brought out his appetizer. Had to chase the staff for our checks. If you're looking for a good time with good food stay away from this dumpster fire. I will let everyone I know what a shit show this place is. read more

The service here is great - I had a super personable waitress. However, the food was not as great as my waitress. It is possible that it just wasn't my cup of tea. I ordered the crawfish beignets which came with a great sauce. They were a bit too salty for my liking. The lobster roll was not very flavorful and could have used more seasoning. The sidewinder fries were the star of the show. They were fried perfectly but overall; I did not enjoy the food at slick lips. I would not recommend this establishment to friends and won't be returning. read more

We ordered the Rockefeller oysters and they were minuscule. The mahi mahi was so dry and over cooked as well as the chicken in my husband's salad. Will not be returning. read more

I was a bit apprehensive to try here mainly because I like the place before it. Boy am I Glad I did everything I had was amazing!! I had chargrilled oysters and the gumbo, wife had the Baytown Burger and the tomato chutney was to die for! Our server Adriana was great attentive and jovial. Try this place read more

First things first, seafood is super important in Pensacola and slick lips understands that well, with plenty of delicious options it won't disappoint. Our host and server were incredibly attentive and offered plenty of menu suggestions. Also slick lips offers a 20 percent gratuity onto the bill so it offers that convenience so you don't need to do the math at the end of your meal (I don't know why more restaurants don't do that) my only complaint is that compared to other seafood restaurants in the area slick lips is on the more expensive side ( but it's on palafox so I guess you pay palafox prices). All in all great restaurant and great atmosphere, give it a try! read more

This place is great! Had some of the best fried chicken ever, on my salad ! Drinks are phenomenal and the staff was very friendly. I love the way the place is decorated and it's very clean. I definitely will be back! read more

Everything was amazing! Service, food, and drinks! Highly recommend the Brunch menu & Peach Mimosa!

Great place to eat. Ordered Oysters and fried shrimp basket with fried club claws as an appetizer. Everything was great. Food came out fast and hot. Waitress was great. Arrived right before 6, so was able to get happy hour prices on drinks. What a bargain. On top of all of this they removed the mandatory 20% gratuity! Definitely one of the best seafood restaurants in Pensacola! read more

Had lunch here for the first time. Delicious fish tacos and Ava provided amazing service!

We tried out this restaurant while in town and really enjoyed it. Our server was very friendly and the restaurant was clean. We enjoyed our meals and absolutely loved their Brussel sprouts! So good! We will be back when we are in the area again. read more

First time going here, and on gallery night. It wasn't packed, so we thought we'd give it a try. We ordered our apps which came out timely- oysters and calamari. We waited a while for our 2 servers to return for entree requests for the 3 of us. We waited 45... minutes. We missed the last half of gallery night, bored at our table and ate after 9pm because of it. The meals lacked flavor and were too expensive. We won't be going back. read more

Food was great!! Shaun is the host with the most! Thanks so much for the recommendation to pull us in tonight! read more

Slick Lips - Raw Oysters - Seafood Near Me - Pensacola, Florida

Stopped here during Gallery Night to wait out some rain and it did not disappoint! Happy hour is the best deal in the city by far. The oysters were perfect, the cocktails even better. BBQ shrimp was some of the best I've ever had, the fish taco was perfect, and the sliders, although just a typical basic slider still hit the spot! We will definitely be back! read more

Carrie, our server went above and beyond! Fried shrimp, gumbo and oysters were amazing! Beignets rival Cafe du Monde's in New Orleans!

Great food ... you must try it! I've been twice and forgot to take food pics but it's worth the visit!

Nik was our server and was amazing. The food we ordered was incredible fresh and delicious. I recommend, if you're in Pensacola please visit this place they are the best!! read more

Carrie was amazing and very entertaining and gracious! We will be back! Food was delicious and atmosphere is amazing!

Service is quick and foods great. Can't complain, and I'm not big on seafood. Got in around 730pm ordered 15min later and food was out in 20 mins. read more

First time coming here, when looking online the food looked delicious! Arrived, ordered appetizers and were served (dozen chargrilled oysters and crawfish beignets) an hour later. Originally asked for the tuna dip appetizer but in lieu of crackers asked for cucumbers due to gluten sensitivity. It was then we were told two chefs had walked out that evening so they were short handed and couldn't make modifications. Really upsetting when it takes less than a minute to slice a cucumber. Based on my past life in service industry when experiencing any type of delay where food will be prevented from coming out timely it is courtesy is to let your customers know. However, they failed to do so. Food wasn't prepared as asked and overall it just wasn't that great. The only good thing about our experience was the server and we did feel bad for her. Hopefully they will get it together! read more

Went for brunch and it was excellent. Food was awesome and prices reasonable. Service was wonderful with staff making great suggestions. A must when down town. read more

I really wanted to love this place but I didn't. The service was awesome, I will say that. But my clue should have been the fact there were only 6 people in the restaurant and I was in a party of three.... The crab claws were decent priced at $27 and were actually pretty good. Then it went down hill. The Alfredo pasta was runny and not that flavorful, basically a butter noodle and very bland. The fried shrimp were okay- not great- okay. The broiled oysters were not "broiled" at all. They were just shy of raw with sauce on top. I was so excited to check this place out and the decorations were awesome, the waitress was great. Maybe start in the kitchen because that's what was disappointing! The cook spent more time out front talking with the bartender, maybe stay in the kitchen and the manager sat at the bar on his computer the whole time. Maybe do some "quality control" and walk around and ask folks about their experience and I wouldn't need to post it to yelp, just saying read more

Our lunch order, for two, was a cup of gumbo, fish of the day basket (Mahi), fish tacos, glass of Sauvignon Blanc. Including the 20% dining surcharge (in lieu of tip) and tax, the tab totaled $77.08. NOTE: We were the only customers in the restaurant at 11:30 on a Thursday morning. Cons: The gumbo was fragrant, but had little taste and the scant seafood in it was way overcooked; the mahi was not seasoned and was overcooked; the "warm soft flour tortillas" for the tacos were a bit toasted and crisp (perhaps warmed on the grill?); the restaurant was very dark. Pros: The pleasant hostess; Amy, our server who was personable and attentive; the fries. There are too many other restaurants in Pensacola which serve well seasoned and perfectly cooked seafood to visit here again. read more

Mediocre seafood at fine dining prices. Drinks were not well made. We ordered Calamari, shrimp and Mahi. Decent seasoning on shrimp and Mahi but Calamari was 90% fried peppers and 10% Calamari. Servers were explaining the 20% mandatory service charge to every table and kept apologizing for it and saying they didn't agree with it. This mediocre of food and a service staff that isn't onboard with policies won't be around for long on Palafox read more

To start this what brought me into the restaurant was the sign posted out front of their featured drinks. I had pasted by a couple times and was excited to try their lavender punch because it's one of my favorite flowers. I was sweetly greeted at first by our host. He seemed a bit tired but that's completely understandable, I see him consistently working out front to draw in customers. What wasn't so pleasant was our server. She just didn't have that server charm nor positive attitude. Before even greeting us she informed us of a required 20% gratuity tip and said a 15 tip ON TOP OF THAT is "recommended". I then asked if that was still required if I only wanted to order the one drink, which she replied "you can't take drinks to go". I was confused, said "pardon" to which she repeated herself, showing she hadn't listened to what my original question was at all. I told her politely that's not what I asked and relayed my question, she replied with a flat "yeah, I'll bring you some waters" and walked off. I kept an upbeat attitude since my husband and I were enjoying our afternoon, and after all I only wanted to try the lavender drink. When she returned, I ask about the lavender drink. She had no clue what I was talking about, I repeated the drink 3 times and she still replied with "I've never heard of that". By this point my husband was so disinterested he didn't order anything at all and he's quite the foodie. Once receiving my drink, I removed having the thought,'I just want to finish this and leave.' The waitress wasn't kind of nice until giving us the check. I unfortunately will not be returning to this restaurant. read more

Slick Lips - Alcoholic drinks - Seafood Near Me - Pensacola, Florida

I came to slick lips hoping to find a menu that would entice my taste buds and an ambiance to fit the vibe that comes with Pensacola's Palafox Street. The location, as far as access, is wonderful. The restaurant is beautifully decorated with colors and decor that set the mood to just settle in and relax. We sat in a window seat that is up on a raised, built-in platform area that oversees the rest of restaurant and gives you plenty to look at while you're enjoying your visit. The food was phenomenal- I had the scallops and my guest had the chicken Alfredo. Both presentations were spot on and the flavors were dynamite! I think the manager really made the visit for me though. Andreas stopped by, spoke with us and really made us feel like part of everything they are trying to do with this restaurant. It's refreshing to see a manager who isn't afraid to ask the guests what they like. All in all- great visit, fair prices , awesome food and wonderful service and management we will be back read more

Slick Lips - Chicken Alfredo - Seafood Near Me - Pensacola, Florida

Good happy hour (Wine & Beer) Need to add alcohol for happy hour. Food is wonderful. Atmosphere is good. Service was great.

Shaun has been amazing this evening, always a pleasure to talk with him before seating.

Where to start. We were put on the wait list and quoted 20 minutes. Over 30 minutes later, we ask what's up and find out they removed us for an unknown reason. It happens. Get seated, and the poor fella waiting on us either was taking every table in the place or hadn't served before. We order appetizers (a salad and chargrilled oysters) and dinner at the same time. After about 45 minutes without food, we had to ask what was going on. All the food came out at once, which...whatever, but the oysters. There is no convincing me they were chargrilled a week ago and frozen. There is no convincing me they weren't reheated 4 seconds before coming to the table. Then there was the pasta...so so liquidy. Inside looked cute, and maybe it was the day! But this was not it for me. read more

Our food was absolutely amazing but our waiter ruined our whole meal. She was so rude. Told us that we ordered the wrong meal and then continued to yell at us when we left. I have been here before and had no issues but this time was not great. We never got our drinks filled and we were there for 3 hours. She gave us our drinks and disappeared for an hour never asking us if we wanted anything. Super disappointed with the service but food was awesome. Will be going back but will not be using that server read more

The Snapper Ponchetrain was amazing and the grits were really delicious. I had them prepare it blackened instead of fried. The 20% gratuity that people are complaining about wasn't an issue for our party because we aren't cheapskates and the service was great. We even gave her an additional tip on top of that and had a chance to speak to the GM about our experience. We will be back for sure! read more

Great! Here from GA. . Came in on gallery night. Service great, friendly & ready to serve

We were in town this past weekend for a vacation and we're looking for some good seafood considering we were at the beach. We stumbled upon Slick Lips, and decided to give it a try. Not to mention: we were warned about the quality of this establishment before we even entered by many locals in the downtown area. We were starving from a long day of traveling and decided to try it opinions aside. We first ordered the calamari as an appetizer, which came out with about 2 pieces of calamari each (2people) and the rest were fried peppers. We sent it back, and they came back with slightly more calamari that time. We also ordered wine that tasted like it had been sitting opened in the refrigerator for days. Our meals came out, and the one shrimp plate we ordered was ice cold. We sent that back and it was fixed. I also ordered fried okra which they said they ran out of so I changed it to Brussel sprouts but they proceeded to charge us for the fried okra we never received. At the end of our meal, the bill came out to $90 for 2 people which is not fitting for the quality of food we received. We then confronted the manager about our bill considering we had sent all but one dish back for reasons that were their problem. When speaking with the manager Tim, he was completely unprofessional and said that because they fixed all of the issues he thought it was still right we paid for the whole bill and charged us for something we never received. Tim told us their was nothing he could do about the bill and that we had To take time out of our trip to come back to talk to Jay the general manager the next day. We were not going to do that, so we chose to call jay the next day. When we did, Jay said he would assess the situation and call us back but, we never received a call back. All of this to say- this restaurant has management that seems like they have never ran a restaurant before and clearly was not trained properly on customer service. I do not recommend visiting this place unless you want to pay for a miserable experience. read more
