We came in for Sunday dinner. It was empty when we arrived though we also made a reservation just in case. I want to say that overall the food was decent but not worth the price points. The portions are on the smaller side. We were still hungry after we left. I was most disappointed with the lobster roll - the fries were better. If you look at the image, the plate even looked dirty around the perimeter. Presentation didn't seem like a priority here. Despite the subpar food, our server was great! She was friendly and helpful when picking out what we wanted to order. read more

We stopped in on a cold rainy day and had such a great experience! Our service was great from start to finish! Carrie took care of us from seating to check and was phenomenal! We enjoyed the smoked tuna dip, which was outstanding, a captains burger, and a fried oyster basket. Everything was superb and perfectly cooked. The sauces for the oysters were delicious. We will definitely be back! read more

If you're on the hunt for a great seafood spot in DT, look no further! From the moment we walked in, the staff made us feel right at home. The service was impeccable, and the food was outstanding. We started with some amazing appetizers - calamari, oysters, and fried tomatoes - and for dinner, we had gumbo, lobster roll, and fish, all of which were divine! read more

I've been here a few times but most recently was the best experience. Staff was super friendly. I had the lobster roll when they first opened and it was okay. I gave it another try this time and it was excellent! My friend had a blackened mahi that he really enjoyed as well. read more

When Slick Lips first opened, a neighbor raved about it. But the reviews have consistently been mixed so I avoided going. Finally went to check it out and have gone back a second time. Sat at the bar both times where the service was excellent. I can't say enough about the baked oysters. Got the char-grilled the first time which were very good. But the winner are the Oysters Baytowne. The oysters were battered and fried perfectly (I'm very fussy about how and with what oysters are battered). The sauce was delicious and perfect for sopping up with the French bread provided. This dish is listed as a starter, but it's a generous portion. Enough to share or eat as an entree. My husband had the fish tacos with the special fries. Good but not spectacular. I had the mahi sandwich which was also generous and good. If you're a sangria lover, skip it. Many poor reviews cite the poor service. We did not experience that while sitting at the bar, but while we were there a gentleman went to the bartender to complain that he and his companion had been seated by the window and ignored by every server. This appears to be an area that management needs to pay more attention to. read more

I really enjoyed this place! It wasn't too busy when we came in, so everything came out pretty quickly, and everything was delicious. The standout for me was definitely the garlic Parmesan oysters...so good! We also tried the gumbo, fresh oysters, deep-fried oysters, and calamari, and everything was tasty. A nice bonus was the outdoor seating, which was great for bringing our pup along. Only downside was the water, it had an unpleasant tap taste. Other than that, everything was great and I'd definitely come back! read more

Slick Lips - Gumbo - Seafood Near Me - Pensacola, Florida

Was told to grab menus and sit ourselves and that's the high point. Food was inedible and even the Caesar's Salad managed to be screwed up. Service was the worst I have had in a long time and I felt like the entire restaurant staff could not care less if I was spending money there or not. Food was really really bad. Gumbo tasted like there was rotting fish in it, chicken tasted old and grainy. The calamari was barely OK. I often give restaurants another try before reviewing but I cannot spend money on a tremendously overpriced menu. $60 for a"soup", salad and appetizer with no drinks. So bad and expensive that I cannot return, you should not either. read more

Service ( Carrie) was pleasant and efficient. Food was prepared correctly. The manager came and checked at our table . Bacon wrapped Amberjack was delicious with mashed potatoes and green beans. My crawfish, spinach and bacon salad was out of this world. This was my third visit to slick lips. Location is convenient also. read more

Food was delicious! Ordered the fried green tomatoes for an app and was not disappointed. Also had the chargrilled oysters and they were so tasty. For the main, the shrimp basket (fried) with French fries and ranch was delicious! The star of the show was the red snapper & grits with collard greens and bacon jous. Ask for an extra side of the jous to pour on top! Ate the plate clean!! Service was okay- our waiter wasn't around much but everyone was helping out each other so was fine! Very casual ambiance which I enjoyed after a day at the beach! read more

We spent the morning walking around the Palafox market and needed something to satisfy our appetite. We've been wanting to check out Slick Lips since it opened a few months ago, so decided to grab a patio spot for brunch. We ordered a couple Bloody Mary's to start out with and looked over the brunch menu. I knew I wanted the BBQ shrimp because I had them at Brunchfest a while back and they were so good. My wife decided to go with the avocado toast. The Bloody Mary's came out and looked great (missed the pic opportunity). Unfortunately, they were lacking flavor and seemed a bit watered down. We added their house hot sauce and were able to get them right. Food came out and looked amazing! A good portion of shrimp although I wish it came with a bit of grits to soak up some of the sauce. Flavors were on point! The avocado toast was topped with pickled onions, sprouts and arugula salad along with 2 fried eggs - a filling brunch option! Our server was in training but doing a fine job checking on us as needed. We are excited to try more from Slick Lips and are glad to have them on Palafox. Their patio is great for people watching and enjoying the fresh bay breeze. The interior looks really fun too, so I'm looking forward to dinner there soon! read more

The fresh oysters were so delicious just fresh and briny, good size for this time of year. I also had the charbroiled ones but the chef got a little carried away with the seasoning and were too salty to enjoy. The Brussels were good a bit to aldenta for me I prefer them roasted a bit longer not as raw as they were but overall flavor was delicious. The service was impeccable my beautiful bar goddess was very welcoming and wonderful made my night just perfect. Love the beach bar vibe all the food I saw at the bar looked really good. I'll be back to eat and try the rest of menu soon. Thank you my beautiful friend and bar maid you made me dining alone a lovey experience don't mind spending my money at this establishment when you get the trifecta of delicious food excellent service and fun atmosphere. New customer for life. read more

Discovered this place today when looking for happy hours around 4 on a Wednesday in downtown. Raw oysters are $1.00 each for HH and we had 2 dozen that were fresh, cold and plump. The beers were $2.00 off and the BBQ shrimp on HH was excellent. The Cajun sauce was extremely flavorful. Kristi took excellent care of us. Highly recommend checking them out. read more

If there were a Michelin star for servers, Haley would be wearing it on a chain around her neck like a trophy. Our Slick Lips experience was solid across the board, but Haley? Haley made it. Before we even crossed the threshold, she gracefully approached us as we hovered over the menu like tourists studying a treasure map. She offered her help without pressure, just good vibes and Southern hospitality. That initial contact set the tone for what turned out to be one of the best dining experiences we've had in a long time. Once seated, Haley delivered that rare blend of personable charm and true professionalism. She took a special request from us--one of those "hey, I know this might be annoying, but..." asks--and handled it like a pro. She set realistic expectations, didn't sugarcoat the kitchen's potential response, but passed along the request with grace. And shout out to the kitchen for coming through! Now let's talk about the Sidewinder Fries. Haley gave a description so vivid, so poetically indulgent, I swear Anthony Bourdain is up there somewhere tipping his hat. Think: if a curly fry and a steak fry had a beautiful, golden, crunchy love child--it would be the Sidewinder. Crispy on the outside, warm and fluffy on the inside. She wasn't lying. They were delicious. A small potato miracle. From a business perspective, I understand how tempting it is for servers to push the priciest dishes on the menu. But Haley? Nope. When I asked what she personally liked, she spoke with authenticity. She named her true favorites, regardless of price, and only mentioned the higher-end items when they were truly popular or worth it. That kind of honesty builds trust--and loyalty. Thanks to Haley, we'll be back. Soon. Probably hungry. Keep the 2-top by the window ready. read more

Just dropping in to say that when Slick Lips opened the tip was built into the price. Prices were very high as a result. Since then, there have been mixed reports about whether tips are included or not, and due to the confusion and the still relatively high prices customers are not having a good experience and the servers are turning over at a fast pace as a result. There is much better seafood to be found in Pensacola, and at places not far from this location. read more

This place was highly recommended. The ambience was a lot of fun. It's a combination of a tiki bar, restaurant, oyster lounge. This place has live entertainment that was really good. It was a one-man band, but I tell you what, he was incredible. The service and wait staff was exceptional and accommodating. We did have a bit of a hiccup with our food. We placed our order, waitress put in order and somehow it disappeared. So from the time we placed the order to the time we received our food was super long. HOWEVER, the manager came over and apologized for the mess up AND comped our entire meal. The food itself was good. Portions huge. It is customer service like this that makes me want to go back and eat again. read more

Had reservations. Was told it would be 15 to 20 minute wait. Came back 25 minutes later and waited at door awhile before being acknowledged. Was told would be 15 to 20 minutes more but she would talk to manager and try to take care of the problem but never came back. Asked to speak to the manager but he/she never came. While waiting, another couple left after waiting an hour for their food to be brought to them. Understand if short handed but be upfront about the situation. We finally left and will not be back. read more

YUM and incredible staff. Our waitress was very sweet and the owner came around to tables after the meal to ask how everything was - we also found out the bread pudding (which was to die for) is his grandma's recipe. So special! Another highlight of this restaurant was how well spaced out all of the tables are and the volume - it's such a rarity to find a restaurant that doesn't smush tables on top of each other, so we LOVED the seating and the fact that it doesn't get crazy loud in there! 10000% recommend the fish or shrimp tacos and the bread pudding for dessert. Minus one star because my boyfriend's fries weren't hot and our entrees came out at different times. But we'll be back for sure! read more

Great location in downtown Pensacola. Our server was great, but the food unfortunately was average. I ordered the "award winning" gumbo and it came out lukewarm and was a bit bland. The blackened shrimp I ordered was okay. read more

Food wasn't the best was really basic for a downtown restaurant the customer service could've been better

This review isn't exactly fair because we didn't order food, but the happy hour here goes CRAZY. $2.50 for a glass of their house wines, buck shuck oysters, $7 plate of sliders, etc. Next time I come here, I'm getting the oysters. This was my first time meeting Kelby, and you gotta really KNOW someone to eat a raw oyster in front of them. Our server was awesome. She was super nice about us just drinking cheap wine for four hours (lol u the GOAT for that one, girl). read more

The food was lacking , we had gumbo and it had very little substance. When we read the menu we couldn't wait to order it but was disappointed. The service was awful, couldn't find anyone to get a beer or cocktail sauce with our oyster's. My problem was they were not that busy at all! read more

We dined here this past Friday night while having some friends in from out of town. There was no wait when we arrived and were seated promptly. We tried ordering some calamari but were told they ran out which was a bummer, we ordered the barbecue shrimp and tuna dip instead. For entrees my husband got the crab crusted snapper and I got the shrimp and crab pasta. My pasta had no shrimp and they also added what looked like chopped up hotdogs. It was quite off putting. Our server also seemed to be a little spaced out and would bring us the wrong number of drinks multiple times, we had a party of 5 so it was not like we had a very large party. read more

Yeah, pass on this one until they get some help in the back of house. The staff we interacted with (Host/manager, asst manager/auxiliary bartender, and waitress) were fantastic, super friendly and understanding. We sat down (party of 4) and put our drink orders in which were all on the menu, so nothing crazy. Our water/soft drinks come in about 5 mins, and one of us adds a beer to the order. It took 20 minutes to get our alcohol because apparently there's only one bartender. We ordered an appetizer that showed up with the food 50 minutes after we were seated. I ordered the "Slick Burger" off the menu, but apparently it's not offered any more. Waitress told me tonight it's a double smash burger with everything the Slick Burger comes with, so I ask for mine to come out medium. App and mains comes out hot, calamari is actually amazing, as is the shrimp and crab pesto. The 14 oz ribeyes were thin and seasoned weird, so much so that we asked for A1 to smother them in. My burger was 2 dried-out hockey pucks, no pimento cheese, no condiments. The bacon and onion strings were perfectly crispy however. They did comp my burger which I didn't ask for but it was appreciated. It's Valentine's Day and there are still empty tables so the ambience is nice, not loud at all. Customer service isn't the issue here, it's the food/drinks and how long it takes to come out. read more

Had lunch here with some friends a couple weeks ago. Fantastic service and great food. Tried the lobster roll, and the bbq shrimp--y'all, that shrimp was so good and definitely looking forward to ordering that again. Not what I was expecting at all! The lobster roll was good, too (but served warm for those who care). Friends had the oysters which they said were incredible. They had so many great options to choose from on the menu and I look forward to going back to try something else! read more

I purchased a "fried fish Basket," I use the word "basket" loosely, because I paid $23.00 for (1) piece of fried fish on bed of curly fries. I also ordered an extra side of hush puppies that practically disintegrated when I touched it with my fork. The tarter was just athick blob of mayonnaise as well. I'm disabled & it was hard enough walking there, to come home to this. read more
