Seafood at reasonable prices. located at the place from which it gets its fresh seafood to prepare (which is a place to see in and of itself: Joe Patti's Seafood which ships seafood if you are so inclined).

It's a neighborhood favorite just a short distance from Serenity on the Bayou which has been in business since about 1940 - great local place, (delicious grouper sandwiches) for families, individuals, everyone. Inside and outside seating.

Good seafood on Pensacola Beach according to those who go there. Be aware that often longer waits in the summer. This is a very touristy place. Not my recommendation but lots of people like it. Don't let them seat you in the lower area...
