    Warm lobster roll w potato salad
    Shelley M.

    I always pass by this place with curiosity, but it's late and I'm always busy. So on Monday I was getting my tire fixed at Walmart and I was Yelping lol and saw this place. I had time so I decided to look at the menu and reviews, the food looked good. Bummer they're closed on Monday's. I decided to try it today, let me tell you I wasn't disappointed. The food is delicious! I enjoyed everything, no complaints. I will definitely visit again!

    Now this is a SURF N TURF special. Ribeye & Lobster over Thai Noodles. Crazy tasty!!

    I went back to The Lobster Cage in Pensacola, FL for another visit yesterday, and it was once again fantastic. The place isn't fancy, but it's clean and comfortable, with a straightforward setup that works for me. It's family-owned, and you can tell they put a lot of effort into making it a great experience. It's counter-service, but the staff is super friendly and always ready to help with suggestions. I've had the lobster bisque, that's spot on, and everything I've had here is quite good. This trip I treated myself and got the ribeye and lobster with the Thai-infused pasta with rice noodles and a tasty Thai sauce. My honey had the Lobster with Thai-infused pasta, for the first time instead of usual lobster roll. We very much enjoyed those well prepared and wonderfully seasoned general portion dishes!! I am putting it in my hot rotation of Pensacola eateries. Bottom line: I've lived in New England, had great seafood meals from Bar Harbor, ME to Key West, FL to Fisherman's Wharf in San Francisco so I'm picky about seafood, but The Lobster Cage is a winner. If you're in Pensacola and like lobster, it's a great spot to check out. I'll definitely be back. Hours (as of my visit on June 25, 2025): Tuesday-Sunday: 11 AM-3 PM, 5 PM-7:30 PM Check them out at thelobstercage.com or on their Facebook page for more info.

    What a cute little spot. Not too fancy, which makes it comfy and fun. The owner makes it even more like a friendly, family place. Everyone inside (and it was full) was friendly, helped us pick what we should order, and all talked to us and each other from table to table. It was like being in a local "Cheers". We ordered a cold and a hot lobster roll. We also ordered the potato salad as recommended by ALL of the other customers and the owner. It was not a mistake! It was delicious. I gave to tell you, I'm a potato salad snob. I don't like anyone's potato salad aside from my mom's and my own. But this salad was really great! Hubby and I both liked the lobster rolls and were happy with the amount of lobster on each. The bread was perfection (so good) and the perfect combination with the lobster. There was a tv to watch, pics of the menu items posted and a nice manageable menu. The owner works alone. Which works well in the small spot. The wait was super short for our food and the prices were great!! We are used to paying so much more for lobster rolls! Well worth the price and a delicious meal. Tang (the super sweet owner) will absolutely be seeing us again!! Please pay attention to the hours!! She closes Briefly between lunch and dinner. Thanks for a great visit and a great meal Ms. Tang!!

    Still coming and every time I eat here they knock it out of the park. Always fresh, always consistently a great experience. My go to place for lobster rolls or amazing Thai pasta! You won't be disappointed!

    Chilled lobster roll with potato salad
    Nicole R.

    Upon entering you are greeted with a limited number of tables as well as a friendly hello from the owners. Service was fast and friendly. We did have to wait several minutes for a table to free up so I suggest grabbing one if any are open. The lobster roll had large amounts of delicious lobster with creamy mayo and fresh lemon ( they also serve hot lobster rolls as well). The roll was buttery and soft with a grilled outer layer. Potato salad was served on side which was well seasoned. Drink choices are canned soda along with other bottled beverages. One of my favorite lobster roll spots !

    Cold lobster roll, +warm, lobster bisque, & mac and cheese. Awesome.
    Sandy N.

    I can't believe it took me this long to try The Lobster Cage! I've been missing out on the best lobster rolls I've had in a long, long time! I got the cold lobster roll which warms a bit in the hot split roll, and it was perfection. Tossed in only mayo, nothing else, the lobster tastes like full flavored, perfectly cooked, moist, lobster. Its a beautiful thing. And it was packed with meat. The lobster rolls we had in Boston were not nearly as good as these. My husband and son loved their warm rolls as well. And that bisque omg! I've never had bisque with so much lobster in my life. It was excellent! I also wanted to try the lobster Mac and cheese, and it was fine, but we were so stuffed we barely ate any. It was a spurge meal, but dang it was a great meal! The lady knows what she's doing! There are only 4 tables in this small place, but we were the only customers at 5:00. She's doing Door Dash business too. We'll definitely be back! omg!

    Picked up dinner this evening after working all day. My husband got a lobster roll with a side of cole slaw. He enjoyed his meal throughly, I got an order of the Thai lobster noodles which are my favorite. The noodles had a good amount of spice today! I could only manage to eat half of the meal.

    Hot Lobster roll with Chips.  Butter and lemon drizzle

    The food was amazing, the hot lobster roll is amazing. Bread was perfectly toasted. Located was flavorful and buttery.

    This is a small little place that is super clean and open. You have owner operator there to great you and cater to your needs. So wonderful and personal service. It could be a wait when super busy, but well worth it. Lobster forward and well done!! It was delicious and left us craving more. Definitely a place to visit many, many times. Highly recommend 10/10

They have just about every type of seafood you could want, including mahi-mahi, red snapper, grouper, tuna, salmon, flounder, swordfish, amberjack, cobia, catfish, shrimp, crab, oysters, scallops, crawfish, lobster, and so much more. It's the perfect place whether you're planning a seafood dinner or just want to browse everything they have to offer. Besides the amazing seafood, they also carry a huge variety of seasonings, spices, seafood boils, sauces, marinades, breading mixes, frozen items, and other specialty foods that make it easy to prepare a great meal at home. You can find almost everything you need in one stop. The staff was friendly, knowledgeable, and worked quickly even though the store was busy. The market was clean, organized, and well stocked, making it easy to find what I was looking for. The quality and variety are hard to beat, and the prices are very reasonable for such fresh seafood. They're open daily from 8:00 AM to 6:00 PM, which makes it convenient to stop by whether you're a local or visiting Pensacola. If you're anywhere in the area and enjoy seafood, Joe Patti's is absolutely worth the visit. It's one of those places you'll want to come back to every time you're in town.

What really sets Joe Patties apart is the quality. Nothing compares to the freshness of their fish and seafood. If you feel like you're paying a little more, just know that when you cook it properly at home, the quality more than justifies the price. One tip: if you're getting steamed shrimp, skip the pre-steamed option. Go to the counter, pick out the shrimp you want, and have them steam it fresh for you. Definitely grab one of their tubs of garlic butter and herbs and have them add half or the full amount depending on how much you're getting. I got the Argentine shrimp, about a pound and a half, and had them use half the butter. No one in my group expected it to be as good as it was. I set the plate down and it was gone in less than five minutes. I was lucky to even get three pieces for myself. We also purchased a whole grouper and had them fillet it for us. We seasoned it with their Everglades rub, and I have to admit it was probably the best grouper I've ever had in my life. The freshness makes all the difference. We grill often and have made grouper before, but it's usually been frozen, and it never comes out anywhere near this good.

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.

My hubby and I both ordered the Little Patti's Combo, which includes 2 proteins, 2 sides, and 2 large golden brown hushpuppies. We loved that you can choose your cooking preference -- blackened, broiled, or grilled. We both selected grilled shrimp and mahi mahi with coleslaw and steamed vegetables. Our platters arrived quickly at the table, piping hot and obviously cooked fresh. The hushpuppies were HUGE, flavorful, crunchy on the outside, and soft and bread-like on the inside. The mahi mahi was tender and perfectly cooked -- not overdone at all. The shrimp was seasoned perfectly, and the portions were very generous. In fact, our eyes were definitely bigger than our stomachs because we ended up taking most of the mahi mahi home! After we sat down, we noticed Patti's also has a sushi counter, so we couldn't resist ordering their special: 2 sushi rolls for $17.88. The rolls came with a hearty miso soup filled with shredded crabmeat (surumi). The soup was piping hot and absolutely delicious. The restaurant itself has a calming blueish-gray décor with minimal wall decorations, creating a peaceful atmosphere. The music was subtle and not blaring like some restaurants, which really added to the relaxing vibe. The wait staff was very courteous, and we especially enjoyed visiting during the after-lunch crowd because it wasn't overly busy or crowded.

Our first visit did not disappoint. Anne and I were joined for lunch by a friend that we had not seen in close to sixty years. We're here in our hometown for three or four weeks twice a year, spring and fall. And when here we want mullet. Lots of mullet. And The Fishing Hole is one of the restaurants here that delivers the goods. We prefer just mullet with no sides, often accompanied by a dozen oysters on the half shell. The Fishing Hole offers this option. They have here a very nice a la carte menu. The 3 ounces of mullet sells for $5.20 and consists of three nice fillets. Very reasonable! On our friend's recommendation Anne and I shared a bowl of the shrimp and crab chowder. The fish is flavorfully coated and perfectly fried... moist meat that beautifully flakes apart. The creamy chowder is a shrimp and crab lover's dream. We amped up the heat to our taste with a few dashes of Crystal hot sauce. The chowder is definitely a do again dish for us. Our friend ordered the a la carte fried oysters and they looked so good we're returning today to give them a try (along with more mullet, of course). I enjoyed a draft Jai Alai IPA, and as bottles of wine were half price we shared a Gabbiano pinot grigio that proved to be quite nice. A perfect compliment to the fish and chowder.
