We've been going to Ruby Slipper for years; it's our go-to for brunch on vacation. This visit…read morehowever was a standout from all the other times we've gone. The food was delicious as always but the service was 100/10. First things first, I am recently Gluten Free due to a new medical diagnosis and going out to eat has been a huge adjustment and usually means I either get something that tastes gross or nothing at all due to risk of getting sick. Not here! Ruby Slipper has a dedicated special dietary menu with one whole side devoted to GF options. Score! The French toast I got was made in gluten free bread; it was good enough to enjoy. You can't compare it to real French toast but for GF it was pretty good. I got eggs with it, which are always delicious here. Let's talk about the next thing that made this visit perfect: the service! Top notch! They were all so knowledgeable and friendly and accommodating. We came with our two children and my two year old was extremely fussy; the server offered to bring us a to-go box for our food after she promptly fell asleep in the booth. My oldest (4.5) ordered avocado toast. I had ordered all the fix-ins on the side and they accidentally made it with everything on top. They were quick to apologize and remake it. Then my oldest had her meltdown because she is 4.5 and we were sitting too long and it was too loud and the avocado toast was not like how she was used to. She started to cry and the COOK of all people came over and asked if she was okay and how could he make it better and was just so warm and kind and I was completely BLOWN away at how willing he was to make it right. I mean, they were so BUSY as it was Sunday brunch. So he made her a special avocado toast just how she liked it. Our server was also just so sweet and brought us boxes and kept things moving in such a compassionate way without making us feel bad about our children just falling apart. Everyone was so sweet and it reminded us of why we go there! Everyone in our party also loved their food too. Definitely would recommend it to everyone!

Before heading to the Pensacola Airport my friends took me here to meet their beautiful daughter & her boyfriend for lunch. There were plenty of tables and our server was very sweet. I was not that hungry so I shared some Beignet's & fried green tomatoes with my girl Paula. SOOOO good! The food came quickly and it was nice sitting and chatting. Very casual here...not fancy at all... *They do take reservations but we had no problem getting a table at 12 noon on a Monday. I'm sure it's not as easy on the weekends. I would make a resy:) No one rushed us which is always a plus. Only open for breakfast & lunch Mon - Fri: 7:00 AM - 2:00PM Sat & Sun: 7:00 AM -3:00PM Plenty of street parking ~ and that's all I have to say about that...

I have noticed many people have come and gone since we started coming there for breakfast. Jenny has always been there and you are lucky to have her as an employee. She always brings the menu and the new things on it to our attention every time.

To best describe it, it is a business within a business, located inside Dorothy's on Reus St in…read moredowntown Pensacola. Steel Pony Diner was formerly located at Gather location on Navy Blvd. The dining room is anywhere inside or outside patio of Dorothy's. Interior is "Wizard of Oz" theme. Ironically, there use to be a gay club in Pensacola called "Emerald City". The Steel Pony area at the side of the bar where you can order from Kyree. Order here and then find a place to seat inside or outside and Kyree will deliver your food. It is unclear whether to order drink with Kyree or go to the bar. This time around I went to the bar to get a coke, water, and a vodka soda. Since this location is new, I am confident they will figure it out whether or not Steel Pony Diner can order drinks at the bar where the experience can feel a bit more full service where I can order my food and drinks with one person with Kyree or order at the bar with the bar tender. FYI. Dorothy's is a non for profit bar to help fund raise for OASIS (a HIV prevention service and also serves people with HIV/AIDS). This visit, I had their signature Prego Sandwich served with a side of au ju and your choice of side garnished with Mable's Sweet Garlic Dill Pickles (I will cover later). For $2 extra I added grilled mushrooms. This sandwich is delicious!!! It is so good, it could be part of the Pensacola tourist DNA, meaning, if u visited Pensacola and had the Prego sandwich you will think about this sandwich when u think of visiting Pensacola. If u are visiting Pensacola, and not bothered with the LGBTQ community make Steel Pony Diner @ Dorothy's your next destination especially Memorial Day Weekend. With that said, let's talk about Mable's Sweet Garlic Dill Pickles made by Todd Morris of Family Orchard Farm. These pickles are like a savory candy... delish!!! I am not really into pickles, but these here are so good! I wonder if they make a relish version. If not, Todd, helurrrrrr?!?!?! You can get a jar for $12 at Steel Pony Diner. Ask Kyree or Eric to purchase.

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.

My husband's pork shank was huge and super tasty. My parents both got the brisket sandwich and the cornbread was stellar! Great place and we'll be back if we visit Pensacola again.

I visited Union Public House yesterday at 5:50 PM and was extremely disappointed with the service…read more I've eaten here before and have never had an experience like this. 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.

Only thing is there isn't much parking. I would definitely be back next time I'm in the area. If you haven't tried yet do yourself a favor and go!

Dirty martini was excellent, Kumamoto oysters and all accompaniment's were delicious. Where they fell short...we ordered salmon crudo at the same time that we ordered oysters and there was a very long delay between the two, our waitress even came over twice to reassure us that the crudo was coming. But...our entrees were brought out before the crudo. kind of defeats the purpose of a cold crudo when you're eating it with your hot entree :-( We were comped a dessert, which we would have ordered anyway...to add insult to injury, my snapper was overcooked and dry! DH said his scallops were delicious, but lacked the promised orange flavor. Funny/not funny, eating the crudo left me disappointed and wishing for a better experience. I actually continued to think about it when I got home, it bothered me that much. Not sure what the restaurant could have done differently...as they say, timing is everything! $216 + tip = $258.19 for dinner for 2...I should not leave disappointed.
