    The food was pretty good , service was good and quick, I wish the shrimp in the seafood boil was bigger but it cool all in all. Pretty small grab legs also but potatoes was fire and sausage as well.

    Fried shrimp and shrimp boil was off the chain. My waitress Milli was the best. This is definitely a great spot.

    The food was pretty good! Most places I've been the snow crab legs are smaller and around the same price, but this place it was big and pretty meaty. There was a smell that was pretty strong after getting our food the smell went away. Our waiter took our food and served in less time than we expected, we did come as they opened so no line.

    For the amount of food and the price point, this is the place to go for a good crab boil! The service was great and the space felt like you were inside a local restaurant that has been around for years. It's a fun experience with lots of good flavors!

    Food was amazing, ambiance was great, and the service was second to none. The server was quick, friendly, professional, great sense of humor, and an absolute pleasure. I'd go back for the food, but what really draws me back is the server. She was amazing.

    Best thing about this place was the service. She was very attention and friendly. King crab had good flavor but was definitely over cooked and some of the meat was hard. Also the smell of the place kinds turned my stomach. I know it's a seafood place but as a floridian I've never been to a place that smelt like that.

    Been here 3 times now and I absolutely love this seafood restaurant! Very quick service. I usually get a pound of crawfish and a pound of shrimp with heads attached. Prices are pretty reasonable and they give you a ton of potatoes & sausages. I love the sausages here. Will be back!

    The food was cold and incorrect. And when I called to talk with the manager, he was very rude and did not want to fix the order.

    A little on the spendy side, but the food was good quality. The take out option was available, I just wish I had remembered crab crackers.

    I love Joe Patti's. I'm never in Pensacola without stopping there. It's easily one of my favorite…read moremarkets. The fish can be a bit pricey, but that's pretty standard everywhere. 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.
