Best food we've had during our week long stay in Perdido Key. Beautiful setting, especially at sunset (thankful for the large fans!) We are a largest party and were seated relatively quickly. Kids meal options were on par with kid favs and priced very well. We enjoyed appetizers and delicious food including steamed shrimp (Wowsers), Swai (fried, blackened, and baked), trigger fish aka unicorn, grilled shrimp, blackened chicken, fried pickles, cheese curds, and more. The kids meals included mini corn dogs and grilled cheese on homemade sourdough. The food was excellent, prices reasonable, and good portions. read more

Drove by this place on the jet ski the other day so I figured I'd give it a try today... And now I'm reminded again why it's so much better to eat at home... I had ordered the Wisconsin cheese curds in the smoked tuna dip sandwich... The bartender thought I just wanted a scoop of smoked tuna dip I said yeah that's fine. I got a scoop of smoked tuna dip and it was delicious... All the crackers were broken oh well that's not a big deal... Then I got the Wisconsin cheese curds they were great also. I had two Busch lights and then I got my bill. Would anybody else think it's ridiculous to pay $43 for two bush lights in order of deep fried cheese curds and one scoop of tuna dip? I think it's absolutely fucking ridiculous. Especially since the cheese curds were 1569, the sandwich would've been 1699... Whatever this is why I go home and eat read more

Tom, you did it again. Best wait staff, outstanding Trigger fish, and [[HIGHLIGHT]]what a view for Father's Day[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]. Thank you for keeping your high standards on food and service. Great meal. read more

Sunset Grille - 5 years later. Still the best place to eat and enjoy the sunset. - Seafood Near Me - Pensacola, Florida

We were staying down the street and thought we'd give it a try instead of driving into the chaos of Orange Beach and Gulf Shores. So glad we did. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It's a very casual place right on the water. Beautiful sunset views for sure[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]. To be honest, I wasn't expecting the food to be that good. But it was. The shrimp and grits were awesome! Drinks were good and service as well. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Overall recommended if you want a good meal in a laid back atmosphere.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

Talk about a gorgeous view while enjoying a delicious meal. We drove our vehicle by land while others arrived by boat and docked along their pier out back. Arrived in time to watch the sun set over the water. Very accommodating staff that helped to satisfy all our needs. Reasonable food portions were served for each menu item. Definitely a favorite of all ages in attendance. Highly recommended by the Locals for good reason. read more

Best meal we had the whole week at the beach! [[HIGHLIGHT]]Hidden gem. We loved our time at Sunset Grille![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We were seated with no wait. [[HIGHLIGHT]]They didn't have any kids coloring sheets but they found some blank paper and crayons and our kids went to town playing.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Bonus is the playground fully fenced in right outside of one of the patios.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] GUYS, the SMOKED TUNA DIP is incredible. SO GOOD! If you only try one thing, just try it. We also got crab claws and they were the best ones of our whole trip. My dad ordered the Swai Po-Boy, and he said it was a good mild flaky fish. We had never heard of it before. The table ended up ordering mahi, oyster, and shrimp po-boys. Normally my camera eats first, but we were all hungry and I only got a couple pictures. Maybe the next time we're there I'll grab some more! We will be back, for sure! read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]If you want to eat right by the water this is a nice place to check out.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The service good but I was not impressed with the food. The fried shrimps were small and tasted like frozen shrimps. I asked for tartar sauce but I was told that they only serve their signature tarter sauce which I wasn't a fan of. I wanted regular tartar sauce. Also, the Hush puppies tasted more like potato balls than Hush puppies. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I give this place 3 stars for the ambiance, service, and cleanliness.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

First time here...friends told us about it, so we just had to check it out. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Beautiful location...service was very good.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]A bit chilly to be sitting outside today, but we endured.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Fried grouper was very good, best I'd had in a while. Grouper Reuben was also very flavorful, he chose to have it blackened. French fries good as well. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Ok, the view here is amazing.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] If they can get the service (management) squared away the reviews would improve. [[HIGHLIGHT]]We arrived around 5:30 on a Friday, the place looked busy but, all tables not seated, maybe short handed.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We were told 5 minutes, and it was accurate. We were seated and at our table for nearly 10 minutes before our waitress showed up. Meanwhile, two different waitresses were working tables on either side of us. I am guessing, no assigned sections. I watched our waitress take care of tables all over the restaurant. This seemed to cause them all to work with their feet with single task after single task in a linear fashion. Chaotic, is how this is best described and how errors can and did happen. By the time she arrived for our drink order, we were ready to also order apps and entrees. We ordered beer and wine with a cup of gumbo. I ordered the grouper blackened with a onion rings and a cucumber salad. She had the grilled grouper with sweet potato fries and coleslaw. No, gumbo appetizer came out and our meals arrived. I told the expeditor who brought our food to just take it off the check since our meals are already here, she apologized. Next our waitress brought the gumbo in a to go bag, to which I replied, I can not take that with me as we are on our boat and please just take it off my check. She complied and apologized. The fish on both plates was perfectly cooked with great flavor. The cucumber salad and onion rings tasted great. However, her coleslaw was not tasty and the sweet potato fries were soggy, but good flavor. I hope the restaurant reads this review and understands the service issues are a guidance or managment issue. Everyone one was very friendly and were genuinly apologetic about the errors. Since this place is in a marina, there appeared to be plenty of parking. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Again, the view is amazing and likely saved them a star on this review.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

This is right on the water and provides spectacular views of the sunset. They have inside and outside seating. They also have an outside area where kids can play in the sand. Food is good hubby had crab claws and a shrimp platter I had a blackened chicken sandwich ( someone has to try the non seafood lol) everything was good. We started with cocktails a bushwhacker for hubby and margarita for me. We have been here several times and have never been disappointed. This is a local place and off the beaten path. We will definitely be back. read more

Haven't been here in a bit, last review was four years ago and aside from a few tweaks this place remains consistently good and has survived Covid and hurricane Sally nicely.  Sunset Grille, located at 14050 Canal A Way in Pensacola, FL, is a popular waterfront restaurant known for its delicious seafood, casual atmosphere, and stunning views of the Gulf Intracoastal Waterway. Open since the early 1990s, Sunset Grille has been a favorite among locals and tourists alike for its fresh, high-quality dishes and friendly service. The seating is mostly covered-open-air, but there is a small inside area that has AC. and they also enclose one of the porches when the weather is too hot, wet or gets a tad cold. The restaurant's menu features a variety of seafood dishes, from classic fried shrimp and oysters to more adventurous options like grilled tuna steak and shrimp and grits. Sunset Grille also offers a range of burgers, sandwiches, and salads, as well as a full bar with a variety of cocktails, beers, and wines. One of the most popular dishes at Sunset Grille is the Smoked Tuna Dip, which features fresh tuna smoked in-house and served with crackers and veggies. Other favorites include the Grouper Reuben Sandwich, which features fresh grouper grilled to perfection and topped with sauerkraut, Swiss cheese, and Thousand Island dressing, and the Fried Popcorn Shrimp, which are lightly battered and fried to crispy perfection. Sunset Grille's dessert menu features a variety of sweet treats, including Key Lime Pie, Chocolate Brownie Sundae, and Coconut Cream Pie. Some points: Gift shop/ship's store Benches facing sunset along long dock Full bar with IPA's & all the specialty cocktails Pepsi products, no Coke :-) One issue, they do serve Swai so that's always a loss of a star from me, because it's just not a good practice that I've written about at length.  Bottom line: If you're looking for a fancy place to eat with a large menu, you're at the wrong place. But if you looking for a laid back place to have a great view, good food and friendly atmosphere, both puppy and family-friendly too. I highly recommend this destination! The restaurant's hours of operation vary depending on the season, but generally, it is open from 11:00 AM to 9:00 PM Sunday through Thursday and 11:00 AM to 10:00 PM on Friday and Saturday. Their website, https://www.sunsetgrille.net/, provides more information about their menu, events, and catering services. You can also follow them on Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/SunsetGrillePensacola/ for updates and promotions. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]We keep coming back for the location and views.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Unfortunately the quality of the food is woefully subpar. They seated our party of 8 quickly at prime time and that was appreciated and our order was taken promptly but it took forever to arrive and was only so so. My fried shrimp was over cooked and my daughter's gumbo was thin and lacked any seafood. I keep wanting to enjoy this place but it just doesn't deliver. read more

This little gem is aptly named as it overlooks the intercostal side of Perdido key. It has million dollar views that are beautiful and relaxing. Many customers arrive by boat, and it is fun to admire their vessels. Anything grouper is what you want to order here. I especially recommend the grouper bites. The grouper Ruben was also pretty good. Sunset Grill is dog friendly so bring the pooch. Service was a tad slow when we visited, but no one should complain about hanging out here. read more
