Love the food but skip the meatless meatloaf on mondays. Favorites are fried catfish, bbq ribs, chicken fried steak, and all of their sides are terrific. service is always good. read more

Food was great, not too terribly expensive. I went years ago, and just recently tried it out again, was impressed and will be ordering again

Came by yesterday to what's the deal with Five Sisters. We arrived around 1:30pm and we only had to wait about 20 minutes. The staff were so nice and very friendly. Once we were seated, our server came and took our drink order. We ordered the fried pork chops, mac & cheese, yams and black eyed peas. The pork chops were seasoned pretty good. They were a little thin but still good. The mac & cheese were nice and creamy. The yams could have been a little sweeter but the nutmeg and cinnamon were on point. The peas were a little overcooked. They were more mushy than I'm used to. The corn bread was really good and hot. The biggest treat is the live band. They are amazing and set the tone for a great vibe. Overall, the food was pretty good and I will come back to try something new. A suggestion would be to offer some Lima, pinto or butter beans as an option. Those are true soul food side items. read more

My girlfriend and I went here for lunch and decided to get the "seafood platter" together. It was 3 shrimp, one catfish filet and one crab cake. The two sides were also tiny, maybe in a cup smaller than the palm of my hand. The food was tasty but we expected a seafood platter to be a bit bigger. It was our first time there. Food was decent but I don't think we will go back. I'd rather go somewhere else for seafood. Lastly, something was leaking from the ceiling and kept dripping on our table. Other than that our waitress was very nice. read more

Came in to try some comfort food we've heard so much about. Not the quickest service I've experienced in the Great Southern Restaurant Group. (Fish House, Atlas Oyster House, Jackson's Steak House, Five Sisters Blue's Cafe and Angelena's Ristorante Italiano. With Atlas and Angelena's setting the bar. Once greeted, we started with the Buffalo Chicken Dip, which was quit tasty. I had to try the Famous Fried Chicken (Dark) with Collards and Red Beans and Rice. The Fried Chicken was hot and delicious! The sides were way under seasoned, leaving me to doctor them with condiments. My wife really enjoyed the Chicken Fried Steak and Gravy with Mac n cheese and Fried Okra, which added to the comfort food enjoyment. My only wish would be, replacing the loud metal chair's on the concrete floors, which take away from the Blues Cafe Vibe. Glad we tried Five Sisters, but we will stick to our favorites in the future. read more

Five Sisters Blues Cafe - Fried Chicken with Collards and Red Beans and Rice. - Southern Near Me - Pensacola, Florida

The taste is gone!!!! The service was decent and the ambiance is still that of a family eatery, however they lack in food quality!!! No seasoning in any of the items on the plate. Not even worth eating and it's not the same mouth watering experienced I had hoped for when I came here the first time shortly after the pandemic. read more

Five Sisters Blues Cafe - Sides entree not worth a second bite or taking home. It was cold, old, and lacked in every imaginable aspect of quality food. - Southern Near Me - Pensacola, Florida

So underwhelming. Tried five sisters as it was advertised for restaurant week and thought we would try something new. First off the hostess took names and numbers but would only use the phone to call the number, never calling out for people who were waiting. We saw a couple who were there way before us get missed. She could have saved so much time by verbally calling out who was next as there were several couples waiting near the entrance who had to flag her down that we were the ones on the phone with her. Next thing, once we got to our table, it took forever for a server to come to our table, it wasn't a waitress, but the bartender who was obviously busy at the bar. She was very polite and took our orders. Drinks were very good. As it is restaurant week, we ordered off that menu, which includes an appetizer, a main course, and a dessert. Appetizers took forever to arrive and were good. While waiting and waiting for the main course, the food runner tried to drop another round of appetizers at the table. He took it back as we already had ours. We continued to wait for the main course and it did not arrive until 1:45 hours after we sat down. My dish was the blue crab and the food runner tried to take it back without letting me have it. I should have let him. It was very dry and not edible, it just crumbled and there was no edible meat in it. My wife's dish was the chicken dish and she said it looked like slop and was dry. Probably due to the long wait. She couldn't eat it and we were out of the mood for the dessert, so took them to go. My wife tried her dessert when we got home and said it tasted like burnt bread. I can't bring myself to try mine. On the bright side the manager did comp my meal but we were so underwhelmed with the wait and quality of the food that we won't be back. read more

Great food. Friendly people. Service was great. Family oriented. I would go back next year.

Walked in on a rainy Thursday evening. Blues musicians playing, interesting decor, the place is well lit and offers inside and outdoor seating. Server was friendly and brought our drinks. I ordered the Fried Pork Chops with collard greens and mashed potatoes. My husband ordered the Fried Green Tomato BLT. Both were good. Pork chop a little tough to cut, mash was very dense and a bit dry even though it had gravy on it, but they were seasoned nicely. Overall flavor was great. Husband liked his BLT. All of the food here sounded so good! There were definitely other things I want to try if we come back in town. And the prices are very reasonable!! read more

This is our first time here and really enjoyed our dinner. The prices are really reasonable and the atmosphere is so fantastic. I got the chicken tenders with collard greens and fried green tomatoes and I definitely could not finish my dinner. My husband had the club sandwich which was outstanding and he loved the french fries The service here is excellent. They are definitely here to take care of you and they show it. We love the music and the white lights and just really welcome here. I really recommend this place and I know I will be returning for Sunday brunch with jazz read more

Great southern food, catfish and red beans and rice. Also enjoy the music from the live band.

The shrimp and grits is out of this world. The sweet tea is amazing. The chicken and waffles were good, but not super memorable.

If you're looking for Southern food in the Pensacola area, Five Sisters Blues Café is a great choice. The Bloody Mary--packed with a bold kick and topped with a chicken wing that takes it to another level. I went with the Southern Chicken Plate, and it did not disappoint. Great value, generous portions, and the two-piece serving comes with two sides. You really can't go wrong with the fried okra, and the grits and greens were fantastic. Our waiter was accommodating and friendly, making the experience even more enjoyable. Whether you're a local or just passing through, this spot is well worth the visit. read more

Went down south to visit family and was flight was delayed until the next day. Decided to do some research on top eats in the area. All pointed to Five Sisters Blues Cafe for an amazing Southern food experience. Arrived and it was lively and packed with people. Patrons sitting in the outside patio and many more inside listening to the live Jazz music playing. We opted to sit inside to hear the music. Was seated in a reasonable time for a busy Sunday Brunch. Ordered a Hurricane drink and it was not to be expected. A little watered down or missing something nothing like a Hurricane I've had before. I subbed my chicken for wings instead of tenders, best decision. Chicken was 'heavenly' seasoned to perfection. Belgium waffle was nothing to rave about. Now the Mac and cheese was smooth and cheesy perfect combination. Red beans and rice were ok needed more meat, but I still ordered one to go. The live Jazz music made the moment even more intimate. Great dining experience. read more

Food was relatively solid apart from the fried chicken which I would not recommend for someone who is coming for the first time. Aside from that, the food was pretty good but I would not come here expecting crazy good, high quality food. read more

I was having some serious envies for fried chicken. Decided to give Five Sisters a try. The venue is great. Has both inside and outside seating. We showed up at around 4:30 and were able to get seated right away, but it filled up quickly and there seemed to be a wait by 5:00. We started with the fired green tomatoes. Delicious. The dipping sauce was great. Was a bit of a dill flavored ranch. For the main course, I went with Aunt Sara's fried chicken dinner with collard greens and mashed potatoes and gravy. The collards were next level and the potatoes did not disappoint. The fried chicken was crispy and juicy. Delicious. There wasn't as much spice as I'd have liked, but it scratched the itch. I definitely recommend this place. Probably the best chicken in Pensacola. I'll definitely be going back. read more

The food was great, even though it was busy and we had a fairly big party. It's loud, but the place is charming, with a lot of local art.

The food is always so good. There's another parking lot across the street since their actually parking lot is small. Food comes out so quickly. read more

The magic is back! Tried Five Sisters again; comfort food, Alexis's service, and live music all delivered!

Mood: Early Lunch with Soul Love this downtown area and first time here after hearing great things. Service was a little short staffed but very sweet & working overtime. I enjoy the laid back vibes- southern charm of decor and art work. Food was delicious. My drink was strong! Just how I like it. Tequila Blues 10/10 strong & sweet. Could have another one right now! Buffalo Chicken Dip 10/10 scooped every bit of that dip up. Spicy kick, creamy, & full of flavor Southern Cobb salad 10/10 biggggg salad omg! Couldn't finish it. Really tasty, full of good fixings other than lettuce. Fried green tomatoes was bomb! Chicken pieces fried just right. Shrimp Crawfish & grits 10/10 when I say tasty & more than enough I mean it. That shrimp was coked just right. Didn't have anything bad in there. Could eat there more for sure. Must try again. read more

Drove out of our way to enjoy a Sunday jazz brunch. I was excited to try the brisket sandwich but was informed they were out of brisket. I decided to go with eggs Benedict and my wife had the spicy chicken sandwich. Eggs were whatever, nothing special. Spicy chicken sandwich wasn't spicy at all, had to add hot sauce. Collard greens and red bean and rice were bland, had to add hot sauce. Breakfast potatoes were bland as well. The cocktails were good and the service was pretty good. Overall I wouldn't go out of my way to eat here. read more

We just stumbled upon this place looking for brunch before our flight. And I'm so glad we did. They were having jazz brunch on Sunday. Great music. And the food was some of the best fried chicken I've ever had. I even took it to go on the plane and brought the leftovers back to Texas for my lunch the next day. I had the 2 piece with 2 sides. Mac and cheese and green beans and it comes with an amazing homemade piece of cornbread. And of course our waiter was great. He kept the mimosas on the table flowing. I definitely recommend. read more

Five Sisters Blues Cafe - Aunt Sarah southern fried chicken. Josephine's Mac and cheese and green beans - Southern Near Me - Pensacola, Florida

Found this place nearby where we were exploring, and so happy we did! Prices are very reasonable for the amount of food that is served. Started off with the fried green tomatoes. They looked perfect; however, they were surprisingly bland including the jalapeño ranch. Next up were the entrees and they were spectacular! I ordered the fried chicken (2 breasts) and chose mac n cheese and collared greens. OMG, the best fried chicken I've ever had!!! Collared greens were very tasty and the corn bread was perfect. My bestie had the pot roast w/mashed potatoes and the consistency was more like a stew but he enjoyed it. Ended our meal with the Blueberry bread pudding a la mode. OMG, so flippin' good! A tad sweet but totally worth it! Oh, I almost forgot about our drinks! My bestie ordered a bloody Mary and it came with a chicken wing, big green olives and a fried chicken wing lol! I ordered the Blueberry hibiscus lemonade with vodka (minus the triple sec) and although I love blueberries, I had to keep watering it down cause it was too sweet. Staff was very friendly as was our server Paige! Service was excellent! Definitely need to try this local gem! Parking lot is available free of charge, but can be a bit tight and small. read more

I can see what the hype is about this place. I was with my family just wanting lunch on a weekday and this place was still packed. They had outdoor and inside seating yet both were full. The decor truly pays tribute to southern blues/ charm. We waited for about 15-20 minutes before a table became available. The servers had their hands full with a full house but were all still kind and worked as quickly as they could. Our server did forget our table a couple times but I couldn't even blame her. She made up with personality and great service too. I ordered a fried green tomato BLT, shared a shrimp basket, and indulged in yams, greens, and sweet Pros potato fries as my side. ... 10 out of 10 recommend. I don't know what the cooks are doing back there but I wanted to pat them on the back. If you're in the area I definitely would suggest this place. Worth the wait. read more

I went to Pensacola for a work trip and my coworkers and I are always looking for new, good food. We were sat immediately on a Friday evening. There was live music and though loud we were still able to talk. We started with the buffalo chicken dip with the blue cheese on the side. We enjoyed all of our entrees. The only issue was one of the thicker catfish filets wasn't completely cooked. Our server was gracious and we thought about trying out brunch but weren't able to make it back. read more

This downtown Pensacola soul food restaurant is nice and on the high end of most soul food restaurants. They have their own small parking lot next to the restaurant along with another one across the street. There is an outside covered patio for seating along with a spacious inside too, of course. The interior has a lot of character and was playing good blues music during my visit for lunch. During most evenings, they have live music along with a jazz brunch on Sundays. This restaurant combines a New Orleans bluesy vibe with down home southern cooking. I ordered Aunt Sara's southern fried chicken (3 pcs) with mashed potatoes and brown gravy along with green beans for $16.50. The food arrived quickly within 10 minutes and came with a cornbread roll. The chicken was the old fashioned southern fried cooked chicken that I love and isn't easy to find anymore due to the Nashville hot chicken craze. This bird was hot and juicy and satisfying. The mashed taters and brown gravy were homemade and tasted like it and the green beans were soft and flavorfully cooked with some bacon. It was a very good tasting meal and Grant, the waiter, did a professional job. 5 Sisters Blues Cafe is an excellent choice for a hearty meal in a nice and fun atmosphere. Come eat here! Prices here are reasonable. read more

Here again for extended July 4th weekend. Arrived at 3:30 Monday, found space in their lot, great saved 10 minute fiddle with parking app. By 4:00 they had filled up most tables. Getting our order in a few minutes early helped as I noticed others just a few minutes later than us sitting foodless while we chowed down. On: killer fried chix, collard greens doused in petes. Fried chix salad which vanished into my daughter's stomach, tried to snag some but she goal tended. Corn muffins a tad dry this time. Wife had chix and waffles, very good. Will return as usual next month. read more
