We had such a wonderful experience at Scenic 90's Café! Our server, Jennifer, was incredibly thoughtful and made our breakfast with our toddler so enjoyable. She made sure to seat us in an area with plenty of room for her, and while we were waiting for our food, she brought our daughter some saltines and kept giving her the sweetest smiles. Those little gestures really meant a lot to us as parents! Our food came out quickly and was cooked to perfection. The omelet was incredibly fluffy, and the pancakes were HUGE! Everything was delicious. We also loved the nostalgic atmosphere and all the memorabilia and posters throughout the restaurant. Seeing West Side Story, The Wizard of Oz, Elvis Presley, and so many other classics made it such a fun place to look around while we ate. Great food, fast service, a fun atmosphere, and an especially wonderful server. Thank you, Jennifer, for making our family feel so welcome! We would absolutely come back the next time we're in the area. read more

Service was ok, decor is set up like a 60s cafe which is pretty cool. But the food was just ok.

Quiet, casual, relaxing atmosphere. Friendly and helpful staff. The food was amazing, something for everyone. One thing that impressed me was that they had several things Southern it is oddly hard to find in Pensacola... like fried green tomatoes and grits! Also some things not often seen anymore, like the Reuben and Monte Cristo sandwiches. Seafood was fresh and delicious. I had crawfish/shrimp Alfredo, the sauce was homemade and amazing. I could go on and on!! Three people in our group had never been here before and one person had been under the old owner. The new owner, Rod, introduced himself seemed like someone really wanting to do right by his customers. We were left feeling fat and happy and I'm definitely going back to check out the homemade desserts!!! If I could give more stars I would!! read more

What a cool place! Total 50's - 60's vibe... when we entered we were greeted and seated immediately. The hostess/waitress was very friendly and efficient. The menu has a vast array of options for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. The awesome thing is that you can order whatever you want whenever you want. The food was really good, as was the service. We visited in the morning so we opted for more of the breakfasty type options. I plan to return with the family, as I think the kids will really like the place. read more

The food was PHENOMENAL! My wife and I splurged here for a celebration and couldn't not have been happier! A coworker recommended it but they definitely undersold it! The service made feel like I was at home; important but relaxed to not helicoptering but never let drinks run dry. The atmosphere was one of what I think a '50's diner would be like. It reminded us of an old-timey Steak n Shake but with much better food! read more

Food and service were excellent! Our waitress was very attentive and friendly. I LOVED my lox plate. It was all very fresh and well done. The portion was huge. I had enough for a whole other meal. My husband loved his Cajun omelette. The eggs may look a little well done but rest assured, the inside was fluffy, buttery and well executed. The diner itself is super cute and clean. The booths show wear but who cares when the food is this good. 10/10 would go here again. read more

I ordered seafood egg Benedict and it taste like fish went bad and they still served it to me . The bacon a little burn but was still good . Also got the pancake stack it taste like they added salt to it on top of having salted butter . The milkshake was good and the coffee was good . Good customer service but sucky food . Beautiful plating food looked amazing but looks and taste are 2 different things read more

I ordered takeout and everyone was so helpful making sure I had everything I needed. The owner introduced himself and had just recently purchased the restaurant. The wings were good but very small especially for the price. I would definitely suggest you go there for breakfast it was delish! I have been there many times but today was "wings" for me ... read more

I've been going to Scenic 90 over 25 years. Understood it has been sold and new owner.we went for Mother's Day very pleased with Jennifer Desk who got us in in five minutes Jenifer was our waitress could not have asked for more pleasant waitress. several points so it took 40 minutes for our meal to get there and we saw people from church who was standing in line with us then got seated, then ordered then and left. The 2 steak specialthat arrived was inedible, companion said, wonderful, scrambled eggs, bacon, slightly burnt, and Canadian bacon dish was great With the new ownership, the quality of this particular dish is disgusting. I would not recommend Scenic 90 to any of my friends. I asked the gentleman behind the register if he was the new owner and said my steak was inedible, the potato and onion side dish were half cooked. read more

Good was amazing... great location and service was great! The area was beautiful ! Ordered breakfast

This wasn't our first choice to eat at, but when the one we originally went to said we couldn't bring the dogs even though they said they were pet friendly we went here. And a great choice it was. The staff were super friendly, taking time to pet our dogs and give good recommendations for pet friendly places and beaches around the area. The food was great and not super expensive. read more

Owner rude. Food had no flavor, dead fly on condiments, store bought rolls were dry. Best thing was the drinks. Would give it no starts if possible. Use to love coming here but it has gone down hill. Won't be back read more

Really REALLY wanted to like this place, and I am usually willing to give a spot a second chance. Got seated, and placed our order...35 mins for our food to come out. We ordered the salmon omelet and potatoes, French toast, bacon, cheese curds, and grits, and buttered noodles. The omelet was dry (I mean like dry and cardboard like). The smoked salmon was in a word, horrible as it seemed to sit on the griddle way too long. The feta was a weird texture, so the omelet was a complete fail. The French toast was soggy and tasted as if it had seasoned salt on it. Bacon was good, cheese curds were just ok (not crispy). The buttered noodles were served in a dirty bowl (inside and out as if it hadn't been washed). The grits were beyond bad. We are not ones for sending food back, so we just paid the check and bounced. PNot sure I want to take a second shot considering so much was bad. read more

We were greeted promptly and the place looks like a 60's diner on the inside and out. Our server was very friendly and attentive. We ordered and our food was out within 10 minutes. It was hot and delicious. Our eggs were cooked to perfection. My scrambled eggs were fluffy and buttery. My friends over easy were a 10! Most cooks either get the yellow too hard or the white too runny. Our compliments to the cook! The server made the statement the "A Team was there today." We will be back!! read more

Ate here today with my sister and there was mold on our blueberry cobbler. I informed the waitress and she said it was just the "blueberries".. Looking back at the picture it was clearly mold and we really regret believing the waitress and eating it. I was super excited too to try this place after family recommended it.. Super Disappointed. read more

Recently I visited scenic 90 cafe for the first time and I had a good experience, my only complaint is that my eggs Benedict didn't come with runny eggs, they offer to change them, I just didn't have time anymore. Service was great and atmosphere was nice. I would come back. read more

What a cute diner!!!! It made me feel like I went back in time. Me and my husband and my two boys were in town for a charter fishing trip. We actually ate here before heading out on that trip. We wanted to fill up before hitting the water. The vibe is super fun. The service was great. The food was great and cheap!!!!! Me and my husband had the chicken & waffles and my kids shared the 5-stack pancakes with bacon & eggs. Everything was great. I wanna go back when I'm in town again. read more

First time impressed. Had a quick lunch, burger for me, and chicken pot pie for me lady, and both were good. Diner food, but that was my expectation going in anyway. Got to meet the new owner who introduced himself when he bussed our table. Nice fellow, I think he'll do well. I'll be back. Sorry, no pictures. Check out their website... read more

Checked out Scenic 90s Cafe on the 4th of July for breakfast. Visiting from Nola and researched a few breakfast spots off the beaten path. I really try to find true local spots that make the trip memorable. This place is so dang cute! Traditional old diner booths and counter seating had me reminiscing about the "good ole days". Unfortunately, the breakfast wasn't worth the visit. We were so disappointed. I am a simple gal, especially with breakfast, so I didn't expect some gourmet meal. The hashbrowns tasted as if they were freezer burnt and they were cold. Scrambled eggs were ok but the sausage was tasty. Definitely tasted like standard buffet sausage but it was still not bad. Toast was bread (barely toasted) and the pancake we ordered didn't have any flare. My husband had the breakfast burrito and wasn't happy with it either. We tried Coffee Cup Restaurant down the street from here a day later and were thoroughly impressed. Scenic 90 Cafe is just a bit out of the way from downtown to get us to return. Cute place but the food needs to give off the "TLC" that the building appears to have. read more

A go to casual restaurant in Pensacola. I love the chopped steak with mushroom sauce. But most of all I really like the covered patio. I take my dog Calvin with me to enjoy. He loves the vanilla float that is made the old fashion way. read more

The vibes were cool! We got the ham and cheese omelet and breakfast burrito. The omlet was so overcooked we both couldn't eat. Probably won't be coming back, although the dessert sounded great. read more

Oh man this place is it! The selection is really great and they have gf options which is awesome for me. The gf pancakes are amazing. Very thick so you want to get 2 instead of 3. So good!! The waitress was accommodating. I needed to charge my phone and she plugged it in for me near the register. The place is really neat. Nice vibes. read more

Had a delicious Sunday meal . I ordered breakfast with extra bacon and my friend ordered the seafood casserole With peas and onion rings. When we found out the power was made fresh daily we also ordered a slice of pie for dessert I got the coconut cream and she got the chocolate cream pie we both agree the coconut cream was the best. If you have a chance to select which side of the dining area you sit on it seem to be a lot cooler on this hot June day on the right hand side when we got up to walk over to the restroom towards the left it was noticeably warmer on that side of the building. Would like to go back and order more items a great dining experience - parking is a challenge with limited spaces so keep that in mind. read more

Scenic 90, my daughters and I have been going for years. We are vegetarians and these are our favorites: ANY of the breakfast, which you can get anytime. The vegan meatloaf (AMAZING) with vegan mashed potatoes. The fried green tomato sandwich. The Greek salad. Any of the desserts! My favorite is the chocolate banana milkshake. They make these huge shakes and bring you the extra in the metal cup it's made in! Great friendly service every single time. We love the retro look and feel of this place, and like to bring a group and sit in the "family size booth." read more

I remember Scenic 90 Cafe being better when I lived here when I was younger. Something about the diner and the food was really appealing. Now that other new Pensacola gems have popped up with great breakfast, I feel like 90 can't compete. I know they are always busy and I'm sure their lunch and dinner is better then their breakfast, but I wasn't impressed with the Meat Lovers Omelette I ordered. The meat was overly smoky and wasn't as savory as I was hoping for, the egg was dry, ended up having leftovers, good portion but just not all that tasty. Mom ordered the quiche which was crustless but didn't look very appealing (low key burnt on the top), had asparagus and some other kind of cheese, it was just OK. I will probably come back because they have good prices and their pancakes look yummy. Will give it another shot with breakfast and will update, maybe! read more

Nice little diner spot with great daily specials. They serve breakfast all day. The food was good. The fried pickles and zucchini were my favs especially with the parm ranch dipping sauce. I also got the pecan cream cheese pie which was a pretty cool spin on a pecan pie. The service was great. The waiter was pretty attentive and was able to explain the menu and make recommendations to us. Oh let's not forget the have some of the best hand spun milkshakes here! The pricing was pretty fair and I would recommend people to give this place a try. read more

We ate here after neighbors raved about it and won't be returning. Food wasn't bad, it just wasn't very good and in desperate need of seasoning. Seems like everything is just heated up Sysco food. read more

Great little diner. Waitress was very accommodating and educational on recommendations. Service was hot and quick. Food was very good for a diner and for having so much variety. Our family of 5 ordered: Savannah pasta which was very good, fried okra was good and crispy,carrots which were okay. Philly was good and kids ordered pancakes which were large : Good, Chicken fingers and fries hot and fresh and good, and Classic burger which my son said was very good with delicious Mac and cheese. We all got desert as well and appetizer of mozzarella sticks. Ice cream the kids enjoyed, banana pudding was very good, and coconut pie was delicious. My husband ordered bread pudding which he enjoyed as well but it was in a square vs broken up which he did not prefer as well. Overall, very good and great service and variety. Will be going back. read more

We like to visit our local restaurants but sadly, some are better than others. Scenic 90 Cafe is the bottom of the barrel. July 26, 2023, we arrived a little after 10:30am. Seated quickly, a waitress came over, asked what we would like to drink and left for nearly 15 minutes. When she returned, she apologized for the wait and took our order. We waited and waited. Finally my wife says she needs to go to the restroom. She returned but we still waited. Breakfast arrived after a 40 minute wait. My waffle was cold. In a while, the waitress returned. When I complained my waffle was cold, she put her hand on it and stated it was not cold and walked away. Later, my wife told me she was in the bathroom with the waitress and she did not wash her hands when she left. My waffle was taken off the bill which now totaled $32.74. Tip was zero. As I complained to the manager, I watched our waitress duck out the back door; the manager begged us to come back again. Checked my credit card, charge showed up as $39.29; someone added an unauthorized 20% tip; the written receipt was no tip. Reviewers tend to be very critical but not in this case. We have recently been to this restaurant three times. Each time was worse until this fiasco. read more

Fast service and great food! Found this gem when I had a little extra time to kill before work. Sat at the bar and enjoyed the nostalgic atmosphere while enjoying coffee and a delicious omelette. Def worth checking out if you are in the area! read more

We both think they Actually rate 4.5 stars 1st time trying this little cafe modeled somewhat after the old diners up north. We both ended up with the fish and chips. I had red beans/rice and the fried zucchini as sides. She had the Mac/cheese and hush puppies. The meal also came with a corn muffin. The fish came out as several chunks of fried fish that we both agreed was very good. Seemed like it was an Atlantic mild white fish of some sort...maybe cod, Tilapia, or haddock. The tarter sauce is incredible and made in house by someone who knows what they are doing. The fries were as expected, although they really should watch the portion consistency. One plate had easily double the fries than the other. We didn't care personally, we certainly had enough food in either platter. It's an optics thing though and some people may care more. The red beans and rice is absolutely perfectly executed. Just the right amount of kick that complimented the not too forward, yet not subtle, Smokey ham flavor. The fried zucchini was salted correctly and the mottled batter good without overpowering the zucchini. Her Mac and cheese was very good. Creamy, cheesy, well cooked noodles. It is "Americanized" but that is not necessarily a bad thing. You get that great creaminess and classic American flavor in the cheese sauce most of us still love. The hush puppies were excellent. The simple addition of red and green mild peppers to a great batter lends a balance to what are normally too sweet at other places. I saved the most controversial for the last. You know when you go someplace (especially in the south) and they bring out corn bread or muffins....your probably thinking "oh boy, here comes that super sweet baked corn batter i really don't need but it's sooooo good and lusciously sweet. It's usually as sweet as southern tea, but it's warm and you can put butter on it!! Well; these are not them . Oh don't get me wrong, they are incredible. You know that Smokey, sweet, rich, umami ham flavor in the red beans and rice? Well that is what is in the corn muffins also. And it works!! It works reeeaallly well. At first I almost laughed. I almost got offended. Someone knows how good it is in other savory dishes and so they went overboard, entirely too far and put it in my sweet corn bread muffins! But alas...I couldn't be upset with them. It was just that good. Many people think something as simple as corn muffins or even the tartar sauce is easy to do correctly? Not. It takes skill to integrate proper flavors in a baked good or sauce. ( I bet their remoulade is the shit ). I promise you; "there ain't no amateurs in that kitchen". So happy we found this place. You should try it. Thanks to our great waitress, Melissa. read more

Horrors!! This cafe served my sister rotten portobella mushrooms in her $16 egg scramble. Not just slightly off but garbage dumpster worthy rotten mushrooms. I tasted a tiny bit and immediately spit it out. And they didn't even comp her meal! They remade her egg scramble which did not feature rotten mushrooms and tasted ok. The tepid potatos and onions had died long ago in the steam table (which I don't think was working to keep anything hot), D- to begin with and I think they just slid them from the rotten mushroom scramble plate to the remade scramble plate. My veggie omelette was ok... nothing special, same rating on the biscuit and pepper gravy. Their coffee was good. From the view point of a Culinary Institute of America grad (me), the meal was less than stellar. Obvious quality control issues and they should probably start dating the ingredients in the kitchen. If food looks like it was served yesterday...It is Not good enough for paying customers today! We will not be returning to this establishment for obvious reasons. Our server was pretty good. I sure wish that those cooks took pride in the food they prepare. This meal was shameful. read more
