Oyster every time we go it's nice. We keep coming back it's our go to spot in Pensacola

My favorite place to eat in Pensacola. Food was amazing and service was terrific. The Parmesan oysters were delicious.

Awesome place to be. Not to loud friendly people great service. Price is right and the meal was delicious.

*** it is all in the management and owners *** team *** i've been going to the best seafood houses here on the entire gulf coast for 73 years - i know the hooks and the crooks - by far and wide - for 100 miles east or west you will not find baked oysters like peg leg's - my 1st (outside of the home) seafood experience was averill's restuarant on main and 'a. read more

It's always a good time at Peg Leg Pete's! This is a MUST stop on Pensacola Beach. My husband and I like sitting at the upstairs bar. There's usually a wait for a seat but they become available rather quickly and if you let the bartenders know, they'll keep an eye out for you too. When I'm with my husband he's going to order the raw oysters, EVERY TIME! lol And no wonder, they've served over 104.67 tons since June of this year ALONE! This is the place you want to get fresh, plump, briny, raw oysters if that's your thing. No matter who I'm with I'm ordering the sautéed blue crab claws EVERY TIME! lol. They are cooked perfectly. They come off easily and the garlic butter that it comes with is just the best complement to them. I ordered the mixed grill this trip with blackened grouper & shrimp & had the scallops regular grilled. It comes with garlic toast, rice & snap peas, which I switched out for broccoli. Everything was good. They could've cooked the grouper & shrimp a little less but it was still good. I guess I was too hungry to take a picture of it. Next time. lol I had the strawberry Long Island iced tea which tasted like a strawberry lemonade with the soft punch of the Long Island iced tea lol. I ordered the key lime pie per usual. It's light and on the tarter side, which I prefer. Why make or order key lime pie if it's going to be sweet?! ‍ Tip: there's usually a shorter wait for seating downstairs. HOWEVER, they only do fried foods and nothing grilled, not even the sautéed blue crab claws. The bar is larger down there and they have a playground for the kids and live music. read more

If Pensacola Beach had a personality, it would be equal parts postcard, pirate, sunscreen, and "why do I suddenly need sunglasses for the sand?" The powder-white beaches are so bright that around noon I'm convinced NASA uses them to test solar panels. One minute I'm admiring the scenery, the next I'm pretty sure I've accidentally wandered onto the surface of the sun. Steam. [Cartoon smoke puff.] Then there's the water. That ridiculous blue-green Gulf water looks Photoshopped in real life. During the off-season, it's peaceful enough to convince you that all your responsibilities were merely a misunderstanding. Add the occasional roar of the Blue Angels overhead, and suddenly lunch comes with its own air show. Which brings me to Peg Leg Pete's. The place looks exactly like you'd expect if a beach house, a fishing camp, and a pirate all agreed to decorate together after more-than-enough frozen drinks. I mean that as a compliment. It's gloriously beach-wrecked in all the right ways. Everywhere you look there are license plates from places that make you wonder, "Did someone actually drive here from Saskatchewan... or was this place discovered by wandering Vikings?" Somebody get Ponce de Leon on the phone! Smell the fresh seafood. Warm sand. Gulf air. And a scientifically impossible concentration of sunscreen and tanning lotion occupying the same zip code. It's Eau de Beach Vacation. Cue laugh track. Now, the food. Ordered: Blackened grouper. Char-grilled grouper. Grouper stuffed with crab. Crab claws. Cajun catfish. Oysters. Calamari. Shrimp prepared Cajun, grilled, steamed, and chilled. The grouper was pretty consistent in every form it appeared. The crab claws disappeared suspiciously fast. The oysters tasted like they had an express lane from the Gulf to the table. The calamari never stood a chance. The shrimp showed up in enough varieties to qualify as their own family reunion. Winner? The catfish. It's flavorful, cooked just right, and somehow manages to be the dish I keep thinking about long after everything else has faded into a happy seafood blur. Most meals come with your own personal little sleeve of Saltine crackers. I don't know why this makes me so happy. It's just...there. It's like the restaurant quietly says, "Here. In case your soup needs backup." I respect that level of preparedness. Now, fair warning. Peg Leg Pete's is usually crowded. Very crowded. The kind of crowded where everyone collectively decided, "Yes, seafood. Right now." But honestly, that's part of the experience. Good places tend to attract people, and this one definitely does. As for the bill... Let's just say feeding a table that aggressively samples the menu isn't exactly a coupon adventure. We crossed the $200 mark and decided that discussing the math would only distract from the happiness. Some financial mysteries are best left unsolved. Bottom line? I like Peg Leg Pete's. Would I recommend it? Sure. Especially for lunch after a morning on the beach when you've accumulated exactly six pounds of sand in places you didn't know sand could reach. Go for the catfish. Enjoy the atmosphere. Wave at the Blue Angels if they happen to fly over. Accept your ceremonial sleeve of Saltines with the dignity it deserves. And if the beach reflects enough sunlight to temporarily convince you you've entered another dimension...don't worry. That's just Pensacola Beach reminding everyone who's really in charge. BOING! [Slide whistle. Seagull cackles. Freeze frame.] read more

Great service and fun for the kiddos. The oysters were yummy! My niece got the chicken parm and said it was good (doesn't eat seafood), and my sister got the shrimp and crab steamed platter. The chocolate and tres leches cheesecake were delicious! Fun atmosphere and nice to sit outside in October. read more

My family and I went here on vacation - we dined at both a table and the bar. Both experiences were great. Our server was fast to greet us and provided delicious recommendations on the menu. My sister in law and I had an equally good time at the bar. The bartender suggested a the oyster sampler and everything was delicious and the oysters were HUGE!

We had a fantastic meal at Peg Leg Pete's and loved the whole experience. Everything we ordered was delicious. The raw oysters were incredibly fresh, and the baked oysters had amazing flavor. The shrimp was perfectly seasoned, and the fried seafood platter was a generous portion, cooked to a perfect golden crisp with great sides. The restaurant has a fun pirate theme, and we really liked the cool, relaxed atmosphere down in the Underwhere Bar. It is a great place to sit back, enjoy a drink, and have some excellent coastal food. The service was steady and the vibe was perfect for a casual meal. We will definitely be back next time we are in town. We don't like Suki she's the definition of bad service. read more

I love this place. Is the wait long? Yes, but grab a seat at the bar and have a couple drinks while you wait. You can't rush a good thing, right? We chilled at the bar, grabbed a couple appetizers and drinks while we waited for a table. We had the crab claws and grouper nuggets, both were super tasty but the grouper nuggets were amazing. After a an hour or so, our table was ready and we were seated on the covered patio. I had the fried shrimp po-boy and we split a whole lobster amongst the table. Everyone walked away stuffed and needing a nap. You can't go wrong with anything on the menu and I would encourage you to try something new! read more

The wait was quick. The waiter Matt was awesome. They were busy but he was very helpful. Food was mediocre. Sent my sandwich back because it was way to dry and got one exactly the same back but way smaller fish portion but was starving so ate it and said oh well. Kids meals are so cute. They are served in a bucket that the kiddos can keep and my daughter loved it. Burger was a regular burger you can get anywhere. But food was served quick. I wanted Malibu to drink but they don't serve Malibu. Did get a raspberry lemon drop and it was great. So service made up for kitchen mistakes. read more

Great family spot, and our favorite place on the whole island. The wine prices are amazing, $30 for a bottle of Italian Pinot Grigio. The grouper is outstanding. We got the mixed grill, corn dogs for the kids, and the sautéed blue crab claws, which were so good. Staff was great and our waitress was super friendly. Normally there's an hour or two-hour wait here, but the weather wasn't great that day so we walked right in and only waited about ten minutes. Awesome. Everything's super fresh and you really can't go wrong with anything on the menu. Everybody talks about this place everywhere you go, and now I get it. read more

Food and services were great! We tried a variety of items from raw oysters to the blackened group sandwich to fried crab claws to the Mahi Mahi topped Caesar salad and grouper nuggets. Just delicious. The only issue was the oppressive heat which was very surprising on the last day of May. The air just wasn't circulating and it was extremely hot. read more

We have eaten here for 20 years and every meal has been awesome!! Food and service has been amazing every single time!!

Peg leg Pete's was super great! We started off with raw and baked oysters, they were both fabulous. Popcorn shrimp was decent. I also had a local beer and it was super good. I didn't catch the name but it was fabulous I had the special which was a red snapper- PHENOMENAL. My husband and FIL had the grouper and my MIL had the blackened chicken salad- they all loved the food. Baby wasn't feeling too great so she didn't really eat but I ordered her pb&j with corn so it's cool they have many options for kiddos. I will definitely be back to peg leg Pete's if I'm ever in the area again. Our server PHI was super cool, knowledgeable and nice and had an awesome vibe. The ambiance was cool with a pirate ship theme. Loved it! read more

Let me just say this place is always a gem! Haven't been back in seven years and Man did it not disappoint. The food is still great. Drinks are amazing and you can never go wrong with their oysters. I got two dozen. My favorite drink is the shipwreck and you can get a cup to take home. Our waitress was this Thai lady. She was extremely nice very attentive and friendly. You can choose to either sit inside or outside. I always choose outside but inside does have AC. It does get very busy the week can be a while, but we didn't wait more than 15 minutes just expected to be busy. They also have a cool little gift shop. Give it a try. I'm sure you'll like it! read more

We spotted this place from the balcony of our Airbnb and were enthralled by the number of cars there every day and night. Would definitely recommend the waitlist, if available. There was about a 40 minute wait so we tried the down stairs area which had immediate seating. This area offered a limited menu; however they had an entire and okay area for children, live music and bay side views. We opted for the oyster sampler and the crab / crab plate. My husband is from Louisiana, we were expected more of a boil flavor. They steam and provide Old Bay seasoning, plus melted butter. read more

Really.. The oysters at the bar with a friend. A deliciously perfect date. Definitely a treat

Wow! What a pleasant surprise! Abigail started the night with her energetic and friendly demeanor and provided exceptional service. The seafood platter and the gumbo were the best we ever had at a restaurant. The seafood was so fresh and the fish was so big and flaky. The shrimp and scallops, although not the largest, were so fresh and perfectly fried. The parmesan oysters and oyster rockefeller were good but had too much topping. We are used to the grilled parmesan like in Louisiana but these are baked. Personally the oysters were good and didn't need too much done to them. There is no doubt we will be back because the service, food and prices are so worth it. Wish we lived closer! read more

This has been a go to for well over 15 years! Kids grew up playing in the sandy kids area and collecting the blue PegLegPete's kids meal bucket! Friendly staff and good service! You can sit inside, out on the porch, or downstairs on picnic tables. We have also been when there was live music! If you are boating you can pull right up to the dock, tie up, and have some lunch! Always a good time at PegLegPete's!! read more

Solid dinner spot! We came on Sunday at 8pm & it was still a 1.5 to 2 hour wait. The actual wait was about 1.5 hours before we were seated. Our waitress was great, no issues or complaints with service. For food we ordered the fried calamari, spinach dip, scallops, & fried catfish. Food was decent. Calamari was slightly chewy but nothing too unreasonable. I enjoyed the spinach dip & my fried catfish was perfect - very lightly fried & flaky. The fries were stale though & my wife's scallops were a little overcooked, but she said the seasoning & flavor was on point & they give you big portion sizes! I also ordered a bushwhacker with a peanut butter whiskey topper & that was dangerously good! Overall, 4/5! Touristy spot for sure but great beachy ambiance & decent food with good price point. Not worth that wait, though. I heard the oysters here are some of the best, but we were too hesitant to order them since it's not prime oyster season yet. Maybe another time. read more

Absolutely amazing Cajun seasoned seafood!!! What a diamond on the emerald coast. So many good sauces to dip your food in! Fried crab claws are a most. They have mastered the art of the boil. Potatoes and shrimp are so soft and tender. Excellent and friendly staff from check in to our waitress Suki. Really well done! Great vibes with a live band. Made for a very fun and relaxed atmosphere. Also souvenir cup is a nice touch! Looking forward to coming back! read more

Get on the waitlist before heading there to save you some time! It was packed even at 5pm. I thought it would be a tourist trap but the food was EXCELLENT. I wanted some fresh fish and gumbo and it beat my expectations. The grouper was cooked to perfection and the sauce that goes with it was delish. My daughter got an enormous burger and she ate the whole thing! The spinach artichoke dip was good, but was really salty combined with the salted chips. Just skip it and get some gumbo for an appetizer! We were seated by the front windows and got treated to an incredible sunset!! read more
