    Alaskan king crab boil
    City G.

    What else can I say but Amazing! You know when you crave great seafood, but you just can't find it? It's always hit or miss, but here it was a hit! Expect the Best Seafood, Excellent service, a Fun Beach atmosphere, and Unbeatable prices. We ordered the Snow Crab boil with sausage and corn.The crab legs were meaty and cooked perfect. Our bartenders were also great and made the perfect after crab legs drink. It was called the Ghost Party and it was fantastic. It was like pistachio ice cream in a Martini! I cant wait to go back! The best restaurant on Pensacola beach, and in my opinion, the best crab legs in Florida.

    Came to this restaurant for dinner last night and we were so impressed that we came back for lunch. Had the crab and shrimp tacos for dinner..... really delicious and fresh. Had the Mahi Mahi sandwich for lunch and it was incredible. We'll probably be back tomorrow Tom was our waiter today and he is top notch! They have hermit crab racing for the kids... my son won a t shirt .

    Beach view from table

    Beautiful view, excellent service, and delicious fish! I had the fried fish basket which gave a nice sample of several items including crab, shrimp, and fish.

    Great happy hour spot on the beach! Happy hours are Monday through Fridays 4-6. I highly recommend the appetizer Great Balls of Fiery Crabs. The restaurant is two stories but the bar is on the first story with beach front view. The dolphins love playing in front of you as well.

    This review is limited to my personal Experience…read more We visited Pensacola Beach the First week of June(2026) and no matter where we went, there was some indication somewhere giving credit to Sandshaker as the birthplace of Pensacola's "Famous" Bushwacker Cocktail. I had tried it a few other places and was not super impressed. Our hotel was very close to Sandshakers, so one of the days we were visiting, I decided to go get a couple Bushwackers for my Wife and I to try while the kids swam. Setting the scene... I walked into Sandshakers around... 130-2pm. Upon entering, not a soul in sight. The place seemed closed as it was VERY dark and quiet. I walked around until finding a small bar with a few patrons. All of which were pretty old (I am 40) and they all had to be in their late 60s to early 80s. I sat down, with the idea that i would be in and out. welp... I was wrong. The bartender was nowhere to be found, so I got to listen to a bunch of EXTREMELY crass men talk a bunch of nonsense as if they were teenagers that just learned to swear. It was very awkward. I would say 10 minutes passed and I decided that I had enough of it and was going to leave, as i stood up a woman appeared from the back and said "perfect timing" maybe thinking I had just arrived. I asked for two bushwackers and then got to see her exchange a few insults with the clearly regular patrons before getting my drinks and paying. I high tailed it out of there, but not being heading her warning that all of the booze was on the bottom and to make sure its properly stirred or it wont be very good. I walked back to the hotel and gave my wife the same instructions, we stirred as much as we thought was needed but were both met with straight alcohol. I guess not something most complain about because thats the purpose of drinking booze right? But they weren't good. We both struggled to drink ours and they eventually melted and we pitched them. Seems strange that the alcohol wasn't floated rather than put in first but I am no expert. We did not return and I did not get the hype. The Key lime Colada at Flounders was exponentially better than said Bushwacker.

    I came for the tiki drinks and stayed because Fish is apparently the patron saint of customer…read moreservice. I confidently ordered the wrong drink like I knew what I was doing, and instead of publicly roasting me, Fish cheerfully remade it without a hint of annoyance. The place was packed, but somehow the service was still fast. Drinks were fantastic -- strong enough to make me think I could dance, balanced enough to make me think I had sophisticated taste. Sneaky Tiki Bar absolutely nails the vibe: fun atmosphere, great drinks, and bartenders who treat your bad decisions like a minor inconvenience instead of a character flaw. Fish deserves a trophy, or at minimum his own cocktail named after him.

    If I could give 100 stars I would! This has been our most visited spot of our entire trip…read more Everything about this place screams fun! If you're looking for amazing local beach vibe bar with a twist this is it. It's definitely a local bar. It is pretty hidden and part of the RV resort, but is open to the public. There is no public parking on the lot however and you will be towed. Good news for you is you can walk from the nearby hotels or park in the lot next door where three hours are free then scan and pay. Some of these negative reviews are wild. I haven't seen one bad thing since we've been. We're planning on going again tonight for their trivia night. Drinks are fantastic, bartenders so fun, engaging and all the people we met just as awesome. They are dog friendly as well. You can't beat the vibes, photo ops and beach vibe. There are wings, bean bags, cozy chairs, TVs when weather permits and when a storm hit the other night we did storm shots. IYKYK. There are bathrooms, but be aware they're port o potties unless staying on site in your RV. Prices are good, you can even buy a cup with their name that is insulated, gives drink discount . Seriously the best stop on the beach. What's better than supporting local on top of it.

Our server was wonderful! She was so kind, attentive, and accommodating. For drinks, we had the watermelon cooler and the frozen strawberry basil lemonade, and both were SO good. We started with the spinach & artichoke dip, which was also delicious. For lunch, we had the fried chicken sandwich and the fried shrimp basket and loved both. It was also the little things that stood out. Our server brought ice water to the table without us even having to ask, which was refreshing since it's so hot outside right now. The restaurant was airy and comfortable, the service was great, the food was good, and the atmosphere was beautiful. Bounce is definitely worth the hype and we can't wait to try brunch!

The double burger was fairly tasty, but meat had a lot of gristle in it. The cheese pizza was poor. I've had better frozen store brand pizza. Mahi sandwich was pretty good. And fried fish basket was dried out. The fries were good.

Nothing really to write home about I love the fact that they offer so many flavors of the frozen drinks; keep in mind though they automatically at a gratuity, even if you're just getting a drink that's one thing that I don't really like about this location not sure if all the senior frogs operate the exact same way Service is a tad slow even when they're not busy, which is most of the time

    Waste of money and a good time!…read more We should've known we were in for a lackluster experience when no one was at the front to seat us. Once we got seated, it took almost ten minutes to be greeted by our server, Makayla. That will be a prevailing theme over the course of the meal. We ordered and got our food in a good amount of time. The tower of nachos was definitely the best-tasting of our meals...but that bar was pretty low. The La Mexicana Burger was completely bland and had zero flavor; my son's shrimp and veggies were so covered in garlic that he couldn't taste anything else. My wife ordered a specialty drink that never arrived. Every time we brought it up, Makayla had an excuse. We eventually said, "Cancel it," as we were done with our meal. The check comes and there's an automatic 20% gratuity. Our server's performance wasn't worth 20 cents, let alone 20%. My son said there was a tiny sign at the front that talked about the automatic gratuity. I understand the desire to take care of your servers, but automatic gratuity does not encourage servers to serve; it encourages them to be exactly like our server - lazy. We asked for our son's drink to-go. We waited another ten minutes...no drink. Eventually, we reminded Makayla, and she had another excuse. My wife couldn't wait to get out of here. This is by far the worst restaurant on the beach. Even worse than the original RFBF before they got new management. If you're on the boardwalk, go to Bamboo Willie's, or even Papa John's, because you'll get a better dining experience. Or even better: walk a little bit and go to Flounders where you'll never get poor service or bad food. This place is a stain on Pensacola Beach. Pic of the tower of nachos.
