    French Fries
    Avni S.

    Excellent view of Bruce Bay and outdoor patio seating! Food was good, lot of seafood options obviously and fried foods. Fried pickles was a great appetizer for the table. Service was friendly. Full bar available. Recommend for a laidback experience with plenty of outdoor seating.

    Raw salmon

    I was concerned when I walked in and there were three parties in the restaurant during spring break. Service was great, but the food was awful. My wife ordered salmon, and it came out completely raw. You could tell from the doneness on the edges versus the thicker part that it was cooked straight from frozen. The feta tasted old. I ordered fried shrimp. The fries and Brussels sprouts were okay, but the shrimp was bad. Obviously, cooked hours earlier, and reheated. Our waitress immediately discounted the meal by 50%, and you could tell she'd handled this situation many times. I tipped her well because she was great, but even with the discount, we paid $40 (not with tip) for a meal that came out of frozen bags and was poorly prepared. My guess is this place is already planning to close, and they're running the operation as cheap as possible

    Great ambiance and an amazing water view. Service was friendly and professional. Food was pretty good and obviously, leaned more towards seafood.

    Came in to treat my father in law for Father's Day on Friday before. We were sat right away. Server was Anastasia and she was great. Has a great view and live music was playing on deck outside. Y'all this was the WORST food we have all had in a longtime. We paid $160. For 4 meals and they were all horrible. The food was so SALTY I mean SALTY it wasn't even edible. All food taste like it had been pre frozen, shrimp not fresh, rice was worse the box rice you could make at home. Horrific!!! Never ever again YUCK!

    Steak tasted kinda like pot roast wasn't very good and the biscuits was missing even though it don't come with it I feel makes it more price worthy and of course a better steak Overall appetizer was good service and music was amazing

    Solid experience. oysters on the half were delicious. It was not crowded on a Wednesday and service was attentive. View was stunning and a pretty good meal was enjoyed. A little pricy but all tasted good. Gouda grits were good having never had grits before, surprisingly not heavy.

    Lunch pork chop special

    It's on the water. We sat outside. We had a great meal. We had a couple a couple of lobster shrimp bisque and it had a lot of chunks in it which was nice. They have a lunch menu for $9:99. Two of us went with the pork chop and came on top of me mashed potatoes and really good string beans with a sliced onion in there sautéed interesting. My SIL had the pop corn shrimp, which came with french fries it was fried. There were plenty of shrimps. They were not cheap on it. Dolly was a great server. She made our lunch very pleasant.

    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.

(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.
