Great food and great service! Fun atmosphere! Grouper sandwiches are the best around.

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

Ok we're staying in a condo next to this establishment so have been a couple of times. The fried grouper bites are great. We also had the fish chowder which was yummy. Great live music downstairs. Our waiter, Kyle was fantastic. read more

We were in town and always try to find fun places to eat when we travel, and this place is really cool, and entertaining to be in, I especially got a kick out of the bar being called "The Under Where". The folks are really nice, and service was pretty decent. But for the price the food itself was pretty meh. You're definitely paying for the ambiance and the experience, but if you're just looking for some okay seafood, I'm sure you'll find the same quality food in other, less entertainingly decorated places, at a fraction of the price. read more

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

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

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

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

The place is really fun, loud, and of course nautical themed. The sautéed blue crab claws were the best o have ever had! Get on the wait list but get there early enough to have a cocktail outside in front to read all the license plates on the wall. Courteous staff, beach vibe, casual. read more

First time here! Love the atmosphere in this place. The decor is awesome. The waitress's Rebecca and Ruby were both great. Food was excellent. We will definitely be back. read more

AMAZING Food and service! We chose to sit at the bar where you can get grilled food and we were seating within 5min! We had the mixed Grilled platter with grilled scallops, fish and shrimp... it was fantastic- texture, seasoning, flavor, temperature, appearances- all top level! For appetizer we have the baked LaFitte Oysters- WOW! 5 stars! Red beans and rice as a side and a cup of gumbo... all incredible. For drinks we had the bushwhacker, an old fashioned and a shipwreck- all great. This I had been a perfect meal. We sat at the bar- SHASTA was our server and was perfect! read more

In town for a client meeting and the owner recommended I try Peg Leg Pete's, it was amazing! It was only me so I went straight to the bar to grab a seat. It was 4:15pm on a Tuesday and the place was packed, which most places in FL near the beach with great food are. I ordered a beer, the smallest option for tab claws and waited on the shrimp & crab legs steamer basket. All was amazing, great food & service! read more

You'll likely need to join a waitlist so plan accordingly. I was with one of my friends and we waited about 1h 10m for our table for dinner. It's super cute in there, pretty spacious and from what I've gathered, this is the local favorite comparing with Crabs and Flounders just down the road. They have a gift shop on the side which was a fun little spot to check out. Food was great and reasonably priced, I recommend the tuna dip appetizer. Generous portions read more

Waited for an hour on Thursday night and all I can say is the wait is worth it. Must check out if your in the area 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

Super disappointing after rave reviews from locals. Mediocre food, at best. Server was friendly but won't go back.

Great place for good sea food and a drink. They have a nice bar downstairs and it's usually not as busy. They don't have some items on their menu like grilled stuff but they have great options downstairs as well. Service was fast and atmosphere was nice. read more

Was happy to learn Peg Legs now has an online waitlist! We were able to walk from our condo, got in within minutes, and of course the food was great. Our server was very knowledgeable about gluten free options and automatically said that the staff changes gloves and avoids cross contamination in the kitchen, which is very impressive. Like most Pensacola natives, this is restaurant is an old favorite of ours so it's always fun to return. I had the mixed grill with grilled grouper and shrimp and it was nicely prepared and delicious. read more

Good food and great service. Only bad thing is it is loud. Band outside was really good. Quite the wait but worth it.

Peg Leg's is always a good time! Consistently providing good food and a great atmosphere!

2025 Updated Review! Peg's is a family favorite. We enjoy the atmosphere out on the deck, and appreciate they offer an air conditioned interior if preferred. The food is always a great value considering the quality and portion sizes, and we appreciate the fast service from the kitchen. If you are visiting our area, this is our top beach family dining recommendation. It is beloved by locals and you will always find a nice collection of interesting, friendly and vocal folks sitting at the bar - both upstairs in the AC and downstairs by the water. Kids will enjoy the playground and getting their toes in the sand while the parents rest nearby. I've attached some pics from a recent meal with the current prices. My kids were encouraged, as toddlers, to try new foods whenever we dined out. Sure, I'll let them have chicken fingers or a cheeseburger (both tasty options here as well) at a seafood place like Peg's if that is what they want, but now I have teenagers on my hands who love the baked oysters here just as much as I do! I find that a shrimp cocktail, a salad, and a delicious piece of fresh local seafood blackened (or bronzed) with sensible sides to be a very healthy dinner and packed with flavor. One tip, use the waitlist function here on Yelp! To save yourself some time in line by checking in before you head for the restaurant. Note that they sometimes close the waitlist in the evenings due to logistical issues. Finally, if you are into souvenirs both their signature drink and their kids meals come with a little something you can take home if desired. A one bedroom condo is available to rent above the restaurant, if you really want the full Peg Leg Pete's experience! read more

I had a long wait on Mother's Day, but it was worth it. The hostesses were the best! Their fun attitude made the wait better. My waitress was fun! She was no-nonsense but in the best way. She has a gruffer voice, probably from having to shout over all the people talking in the restaurant. She steered me around the menu like she was the one who wrote it. The blue crab claws, sauteed in garlic butter, were better than I had hoped for. I didn't want anything fried, and I wasn't starving after my app. I ordered the Grouper Supreme sandwich that comes with fries. They did not skimp on the grouper. It is messy in the best way. So good! I wasn't in the mood for fries, but I was impressed by them. No room for dessert. Next time, Pete. read more

We reserved a spot on the waitlist with yelp. Once we arrive, it took 30 minutes to get our table. We ordered a dozen oysters, the fish chowder, crab claws, and a grouper sandwich. Oyster quality and taste can be seasonal, and currently the oysters are gigantic, but less briny and flavorful. They were shucked well though. Just know what to expect. The mini crab claws appetizer was delicious sautéed. It was a powerhouse of flavor and highly recommended. The cup of chowder was a little less appealing. It reminds me of gravy with the thickness of the chowder. A little more milk or cream to thin this out, and I think it would benefit this so much. Making it feel more liquidy with a better texture. The grouper sandwich was delicious. Definitely the winner out of all the sandwiches! Service was very good and attentive. Always a well priced meal that is tasty and has lots of value. That's why everyone likes Peg Leg Pete's and it is so busy from the minute they open to the minute they close. One bit of advice, expect a long wait and put your name on the waitlist early. read more

Food snd service was very good. It does get crowded and customers sometimes have to wait 30 minutes or more.

Awesome reviews for PLP on Yelp so I got the family on the waitlist while still at the house. After 45 minutes and regular updates we headed to the restaurant where we requested outdoor seating. After one drink at the bar listening to live music our table was ready. Philong was our server and he was friendly, helpful and funny! Great food suggestions and honest thoughts on food, portion size, etc. We started with calamari and Grouper bites. My youngest daughter found the best meal on the menu with a Grouper Po'boy. The sandwich was huge and came with fries. My wife and son both got the Grouper BLT sandwich also looked tasty. We enjoy our meal with Phi so much, we had 2 dinners in a 5 day trip at PLP! They have a waitlist available on Yelp which made it an each choice because I don't do waiting very well! Highly recommend PLP to anyone visiting PB! Thanks PLP and thanks Phi! read more

1st time at Peg Leg Pete's, They do have a wait list on yelp which we joined. Food was delicious, service was great! Issac was our waiter. He was quick to provide us the "what's good and what's great" off of the menu. He was always friendly, polite and and on the go with a can do attitude! Just to add the place was jammed packed due to both it being Valentine's and Mardi Gras weekend. And all hands were definitely on deck and were doing a marvelous job! Peg Leg Pete's is a family oriented restaurant, very Pirate themed! OvertWe loved it! read more

We went there twice over 4 day trip. Reservations: Plan to wait if arriving in the evening. Join the waitlist asap. Less wait downstairs perhaps with separate host. Seating: there is an indoor area, an porch/outdoor area, bar seating I believe. There is also the option to sit downstairs (which may be faster, better for kids) with a modified menu. A lot of picnic tables. The vibe: Walls are busily covered with fishing gear, pictures, signs. The indoor area is definitely more cozy and was quite loud when full. The booths and tables have character and worn, wouldn't expect more based on the vibe. Honestly, imagine a large tree house by a marina that got turned into a to a restaurant. Food: Lots of options. Daily specials. One day was grouper tacos. There is a gluten free Menu and a kids Menu which was nice to see. I had the fried grouper sandwich the first time and the second time because I liked it so much! Take the flavorless tomato off though. It didn't add to it and messed either the flavor. Large piece of fish! Partner had the oysters and gulf grouper plate first round. That grouper was grilled. It was good but the they actually asked to go back the second time for ..... fried grouper sandwich. Without tomato!!!! Wait staff was great both times. The only complaint we have: While waiting to be seated the first time, we were sitting by the water below by boats. The cooking staff (based on aprons) and other staff kept coming to smoke outside. It was about 20 Feet from people eating downstairs. We had to keep moving as the cloud kept getting bigger as more people joined. Luckily we ate both times upstairs. We asked the host about it and said there wasn't smoking in restaurants but apparently right outside the dining area with a wide open space was okay. Overall, recommend it. It was also recommended to us about 5 times. read more
