I'd give them 3.5 stars if I could…read more We came in TH evening, 9/3/26. I ordered the taster boat, a smoked meat sampler w/ sliced chix breast (sort of dry), brisket (nice smoke bark but lacked seasoning and that good smoke flavor, was juicy but maybe it sat in au jus or beef broth, which took away the smokiness from the meat? ), rib piece (flat part of the rib, overly seasoned; my husband ordered the 3 meat combo and said his actual rib wasn't overly seasoned so maybe it was just the flat piece I received), smoked sausage, & pulled pork. I ordered the green beans & red skinned potato salad, reminded me of Publix's with some added mustard, to make a smaller meal as I wasn't that hungry. This filled me up and I packed up the pulled pork to go. It wasn't not dried out like some pulled pork can be. It gave the full flavor of pulled pork. I ordered an old fashioned, cause why not? It seemed like a better choice to go with barbecue than the Arnold Palmer I wanted to order with all the sugar. ‍ It was smoked and the bartender, Josie, also our server, allowed me to remove the top when I felt the drink had enough smoke, which I appreciated. As an old fashioned snob I'd recommend getting true craft ice & not using maraschino cherries. BUT the price point for everything, even the drinks is considerably lower than we'd expect; but we're used to Atlanta & TX prices for barbecue. ‍ No, seriously, the prices are low; no complaints there. AND they offer military discount. Oh and you get a discount if you pay with cash. His 3 meat combo included the ribs, brisket, & smoked sausage. He wanted chicken but they only had white meat. His brisket rivals barbecue restaurants. He was open to giving them another try. He said he really wanted to taste the smoke flavor, not just smell it from the pit outside. We ordered the same sides. They brought out white bread, usually by request and also some butter. That was a 1st for me. The bread wasn't the softest but it was probably on the line or near it exposed to heat, which dried it out In guessing?. I ordered the praline pecan pie. It was very tasty. Think caramel added to pecan pie w/o big pecan halves, More like pieces, and topped with whipped cream and praline pecan pieces. Delicious. Initially I thought it was too sweet but it was so good i kept eating it and once he tried it, my husband had several bites too. It's not even that big slice of pie. lol Josie provided great customer service, constantly refilling my husband's water, checking on us, & providing recommendations. The restroom was clean. It was decorated maybe from the 4th of July or for the Labor Day weekend. It seemed quite spacious as there was an area that was closed beyond the bar and smaller restaurant seating area. The TVs have closed captioned. I said we needed to give them another try when it wasn't 45-60 minutes before closing. So we'll do that. It was decent.

From the moment we were running late, to the moment we left, everything was just right. My husband…read morehad made reservations for us and his parents, but as life goes, we were running a few minutes behind, so we called and let them know, and the lady who answered was very kind and told us not to worry. (This was a 4:30 reservation when they were not as busy.) They seated us at a table that accommodated the four of us perfectly. I should add that my father-in-law was in a wheelchair, and the ladies were quick to adjust the table settings for us so that he would fit comfortably. Our waitress, Roxy, was just as helpful as a server. My father-in-law also has dementia, so ordering for him at restaurants can at times be very tricky. She was ever so patient and suggested some items that could work for him based on what my mother-in-law shared are things he usually will eat with ease. But hospitality and service are only part of the reason you go to a restaurant, because let's face it, if the food were bad, who cares how nice everyone is. In this department, they were also on point. Roxy explained the menu changes seasonally. We dined on July 3, peak summer. I should also add that I am 7 weeks pregnant, and so I need to be careful with what I am consuming. To drink, I had an orange glow - with cardamom, lemon, orange, and strawberry (and the only item I remembered to photograph - blame it on how delicious the food was or on my pregnancy brain). It was refreshing and sweet, without being too juice-like. My mother-in-law ordered a moscato and my husband had a blond ale. We all consumed our beverages in their entirety before the end of the meal. I'll add here that the young lady who went around refilling waters was extremely on point. If our glasses were halfway emptied, she came around and filled them (which with how much water I'm currently intaking, she came by quite a bit). To start, we ordered their garlic yeast rolls. It comes with a garlic butter which you can add to the rolls, but let me tell you how it doesn't need the extra butter (though it is mighty delicious). I could live in those rolls. They were flaky and buttery, like a croissant, but in a yeast dinner roll. If it's on the menu when you go, please do yourself a favor and order. There are 4 to an order. My husband and I shared the 4th one, and I would have ordered another set of 4, but at that point I would have just been eating with my tastebuds and not my actual stomach. But they *are* that good! My husband and I both ordered the filet. I can't eat anything cooked less than medium, though I'm typically a medium rare girl, and let me tell you - it was still juicy and delicious, a sign of a chef who knows how to cook a good steak. The black garlic butter was heavenly. The steak was a bit too seasoned for me (but pregnancy taste buds are something else). My husband ordered it medium well, and he loved it (and he's only recently come around to enjoying a nice piece of red meat). They came accompanied with a celeriac potato au gratin which was perfect - not overly cheesy, and the celeriac (first time eating this) was perfectly sliced. My husband also ordered the cheese grits and collard greens. The grits were a whipped-like texture, soft and creamy. The collards were not something I could stomach. Blame it on those pregnancy taste buds again. My mother-in-law also ordered collards and they both loved them. For me, the vinegar was just too much to handle. My mother-in-law opted for the ribeye, medium rare with the broccolini, and she said it was "scrumptious, delicioso, and magnificent (in a French accent)." As delicious as it was, she and I could not finish our meals, so we asked for a to-go boxes. Roxy packaged them up for us, and labeled each box with what it contained and when it was packaged. Of course, when it came time for dessert, we were beyond full, but we ordered a prickly pear sorbet to share. And it was just what was needed to cleanse the pallet after such a flavorful meal. The coconut mousse was light and airy and paired well with the sorbet. If you're in the mood for some good southern fusion in Pensacola, Iron is the place to try.

The problem.....once we arrived we found out they only serve crawfish Thursday, Friday and Saturday. We arrived on Sunday so we missed out.

The food was fine - fried pickles salty and hot, boudin balls had a more liver taste than we have had in Louisiana but still tasty and the salad was good but pretty basic - romaine with a few tomato wedges, fried okra and grilled shrimp and tiny crawfish tails. All cooked perfectly. The house wine was awful. I would suggest they step it up a notch! Good News - they have a large outdoor seating area and are DOG FRIENDLY.

We were skeptical at first because we'd heard mixed reviews from others, but were pleasantly surprised when we decided to try it for ourselves. The food (my experience was with the Shrimp and Grits & Cajun Alfredo w/ Shrimp) was on par with any of the other more expensive restaurants we've tried in the area but at a better price. And the location, albeit a bit weird to get into until you're used to the turn-off, was Phenomenal overlooking bay and Pensacola Bay Bridge (even better if you go at night for the lighting up of the bridge). If you're in the mood for great cuisine with a nice view of the water, this is a place you should Definitely try! You won't regret it.

Came to Restaurant NOLA with my family during their oyster happy hour, and wow the oysters were…read moreincredibly fresh and the perfect size! I ordered three dozen total one dozen raw, one dozen charbroiled, and one dozen with BBQ sauce. Our party of 25 ended up ordering well over 50 dozen oysters, so they unfortunately ran out before I got a chance to try the BBQ oysters. I was able to enjoy the raw and charbroiled oysters, and I definitely preferred the raw. They were incredibly fresh, briny, and clean tasting. The charbroiled oysters were still good, but cooking them brought out more of the fishy flavor, which just isn't my personal preference. I also tried the shrimp and grits, and they were easily one of my favorite dishes of the meal. They were rich, creamy, perfectly seasoned, and packed with flavor. The crawfish étouffée was just as impressive comforting, flavorful, and exactly what I was hoping for. One thing that really stood out was the service. It's not easy managing a party of 25, especially one ordering over 50 dozen oysters, but the staff handled everything so well. They stayed organized, kept a great attitude throughout the meal, and made sure food and drinks came out as smoothly as possible despite how busy they were. Overall, it was a fantastic experience from start to finish. Between the fresh oysters, delicious food, and attentive service, this is definitely a spot I'll be coming back to the next time I'm in Pensacola.

Walking into Brother Fox brought back many memories for me. Before Hurricane Ivan severely damaged…read morethe building, it was home to the Metropolitan Community Church--known locally as the "gay church"--which was very active in Pensacola's LGBTQ community. The basement hosted meetings and gatherings, including some of the original PFLAG meetings and Emerald Coast Pride. The dining area is small but cozy. Because of the limited space and low ceilings, it was sometimes difficult to hear the person sitting across from me, but that would not deter me from returning. Grant was our waiter, and he was outstanding. He explained the menu and specials and checked on us throughout the evening. My friend had the chef's special salad, featuring watermelon and tomatoes, and said it was outstanding. I had the Esquites salad, which was good, although probably not something I would order again. We shared the Pan con Tomate with Manchego cheese and the Albondigas. Oh my--both were outstanding! As a Sicilian, I fell in love with the meatballs and would return just to have them again. We filled up on the salads and small plates, so we did not get to try anything from the Land & Sea menu. I suppose that gives us a good reason to return. Between the wonderful staff, delicious food, and casual atmosphere, I can understand why Brother Fox is so popular.

OMG. This was the…read morebest dining experience I had, hands down, EVER, in Pensacola. Brother Fox is an intimate spot in downtown Pensacola.

It was just sweet enough, and the flavor of the wine really shone through. Now for the food. Octopus: perfectly cooked. This was the best octopus I've ever had. Pan con tomate with manchego: more please!!! So simple, but so delicious! Paella: this dish was perfect. Just perfect. The seafood was perfectly cooked. The rice was perfectly seasoned.

After reading some of these poor reviews posted for 86 Forks, it comes to my attention. Why would anyone finish their meal, pay for it, and then take the time to go online to post a bad review? Why not take the time before hand to ask what a certain dish or meal is - its flavor profile, spice(s), heat, etc.? We did ask the chef and she was more than happy to take the time to explain the dish's concept and let us taste prior to ordering. Read all the good and the bad reviews and ask yourself: 1. If unhappy with the dish, why clear your plate? 2. If not completely satisfied, why pay the bill? Why? Because it's simply not true. People like this are never going to be satisfied or happy. Never. Try 86 Forks for yourselves. Don't be afraid to ask the servers or better yet, ask the chef to explain the concept or allow you to taste something if you're unsure. Be adventurous and make up your own mind - you will not be disappointed. Please remember, this is not a Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Philippine, Italian, Mexican, etc. restaurant. Rather it is a fusion of the best flavors, spices, food pairings, and textures from all these cultures presented in a creative and distinct manner. Recommend the Bulgogi Egg Rolls and the Miso Cream Gnocchi & Edamame.

Will not be returning and a highly recommend you go elsewhere downtown. 1. Spare pork Ribs were frozen in the center. Opinion: They clearly heat up pre-cooked from the freezer. Sauce was phenomenal on these, if they are cooked thoroughly next time this could be an excellent appetizer. 2. Side of Bok Choy was also frozen in the center of the largest piece. Opinion: Heated from frozen and precooked. 3. Chicken Kung Pao Fried Rice was soggy, had zero flavor and was overwhelmingly salted. I would have preferred a 3.99 rice bowl from the freezer aisle in Publix over this garbage. 4. Pensacola Spritz cocktail was almost entirely sugar and tasted like a Shirley temple. Server was nice and ambiance was fine. Utter shame this slop steals business from local businesses that put in a respectable effort. (Comments above are opinions only based on a in person visit June 2026 and should not be taken as statements of fact. I have no way of knowing if the food is cooked from frozen. )

I was seated in the middle of the bar with customers on both sides of me. My server took my drink and food order, and after that, she never returned to check on me. I watched her walk past me several times while attending to the customers directly to my left and right. Not once did she ask how my food was, whether I needed another drink, a box, or my check. Eventually, another server noticed my frustration and asked if I needed anything. I told him I needed a box and my check and explained that my server had never returned to check on me. His response was, "We are all working the bar." That response was unnecessary and dismissive. If everyone was working the bar, it makes it even more confusing that I sat there for so long without anyone checking on me. A simple, "I'm sorry about that. Let me take care of you," would have been the appropriate response. I understand restaurants get busy, and I don't expect perfection. However, basic attentiveness and customer service should be expected, especially when a customer is sitting directly at the bar. Unfortunately, this experience was very disappointing.
