    Frozen lemonade that's homemade, a cheeseburger with grilled onions, and french fries crispy!
    Eric H.

    I enjoyed the entire experience! From the ambience to the environment to the staff and most of all food!

    Insane sequence of events! My girlfriend was raving about Steak & Shake, but I stay rolling my eyes because she never had a burger from The Drop In. I checked Apple Maps before getting there because I remembered the place having abnormal hours, but Apple said it was open so I was hyped!! We made the drive over, but on getting there we realized that the OPEN sign was off. It looked like things were wrapping up, so I went up to the restaurant to show the staff that the hours weren't accurate. Immediately, Joe (the guy running the show) walked up and expressed his apologies. He said that he was having issues changing the hours on the site. My girlfriend and I were about to head out, but then he invited me back to the kitchen to post up on the stoop and get a quick meal from what was left over from the day. Those were some KILLER leftovers! Shared a burger with my girlfriend, and she begrudgingly admitted that yes, the burgers were substantially better than steak and shake. And then Joe, going above and beyond, turned the stove back on to make us some wings! While we were chilling together out back, he explained that a similar instance happened for Valentine's Day where a young enlisted couple from NAS Pensacola arrived past close, but he made sure to make them a meal so it wouldn't have ruined the special day! Looking back, I should've hit The Drop In for Valentine's because the restaurant I ended up going to in Destin was rough... Joe also reminisced on his experiences in fine dining, and it was totally justified by the great food we were tasting. That all being said, Joe didn't even charge us for dinner! Even though The Drop In might have some with communicating their hours, the food and the love from Joe is 100% there! Definitely worth coming through and giving this place some appreciation!

    Wow, this place has it all! Food, ambience, service, what a great place to drop in, and hang out. And Damian's is officially back! Just like the good old days.

    Frozen Lemonade

    The frozen lemonade is fantastic and everything on the menu is SO good. They have really perfected their hand cuts fries. We've been several times since opening and will be back all the time!

With somewhat dim lighting and a speakeasy's ambiance, The Burrow offers a great spot for just a drink or a full meal. For starters, check out their cocktail menu. Sure, they can make you your favorite drink, like a Manhattan or a basic Cosmo, but their featured drinks are outstanding. The Giving Tree is a smashing blend of pear & vodka, with a mint garnish, and it is seriously drinkable. The Burrow even offers CBD-infused cocktails for those that really want to take the edge off. The fare is beyond the standard bar & grille, though they do serve a fantastic burger. For appetizers, the Raclette Fries are a must-try with rich flavors that could captivate any palate, and bigger appetites can tackle the Pork Shank, served bone-in and topped with cabbage for that authentic German approach. If you want something lighter, then the Little Wedges (the only time I actually enjoy iceberg lettuce) could be a meal to many, topped with the usual bleu cheese & bacon crumbles - so good! Pricing is right on par with the value and the drinks themselves are simply outstanding. The bartender even made a previous 'seasonal' offering for my father-in-law, so you know the service is top-shelf. The space inside isn't huge, but the decor and layout is pretty well optimized. Great spot for any season, and with the biergarten space, you have plenty of options.

Great service and a great start with the Blushing Badger special drink. Good flavor and not overly sweet. Ordered the burger which was good (not the best I've had) and served on a brioche bun. My only criticism is that the bun was too thick and overpowered the burger. Ordered with sweet potato waffle fries, which were nothing special. While the food was decent, and the service and atmosphere very good, I think the food and drinks were overpriced. I don't mind paying for good food, but I think the burger was overpriced at $18 and the drink at $15. I may go back, but not real soon.

    Brown Bagger Food Truck Pensacola's brown‑paper‑bagged…read morebeauty of burger bliss man, lemme tell ya, nothing hits quite like a food truck burger when the spirit calls for something honest, greasy, and downright soulful. It's one thing to swing into a classy restaurant or belly up to a fine bar stool, but sometimes an old coot just wants a bun in one hand and the smell of grill smoke on his boots. That's where Brown Bagger delivers the goods, and then some. I pulled up to that truck on a sun‑soaked afternoon, and there was this fella let's call him Big Mike on the flattop slinging patties like he was born flipping 'em. Big Mike didn't just make my double Wagyu smash; he gave me a PhD in burger philosophy between laughs. "You ever notice," he said while slapping that sizzling meat like a pro wrestler body‑slamming a bad guy, "a burger's only as honest as the fist that builds it?" I tell ya what that man could sell sand in the desert and make you thank him for it. He stacked cheese, grilled onions, and that signature Bagger Sauce onto that bun with the sort of focus you usually only see from surgeons and ex‑wives signing divorce papers. Those burgers? Forget just good they're the kind of juicy, salty, glorious mess that makes you smack your lips and swear solemn oaths you never thought you'd swear in public. Smash‑style wagyu patties, fresh fixings, and just enough attitude to remind you that this? This is the golden era of eating food trucks parked next to bars, cold beer close at hand, and a butcher's apron of stories to take home with ya. So if you find yourself in Pensacola with a hankerin' for something that'll make you slap your knee and grin like a mule eatin' briars, roll your way over to the Brown Bagger. It ain't just a burger it's a roadside sermon in a bag, preached by a man who knows his beef and your funny bone. Amen.

I'm a creature of habit and always get a reuben at places like this in an attempt to find the best one in town and so far this is still my leader. The meat and toppings are stacked, it's perfectly toasty without being too hard and it's just a good bite. 8/10. The fried okra was good, standard fare, nothing exciting or innovative but delicious no complaints. 8/10. The appetizer sampler didn't look like much when it came out but it was more than enough for the two of us. I can't speak to the mushrooms but she seemed to really enjoy them and the accompanying horseradish sauce was incredible. The pickles and corn nuggets were very yummy and were perfectly cooked. No complaints! Oh and the ranch is pretty good too. Overall 7/10. Our food did come before our appetizer but that's okay we couldn't have been bothered by that we planned to eat it all together at the same time anyway, but it is worth noting just in case that's a concern for someone. We both impulsively got bushwackers, and honestly I wasn't expecting much because it was 5:00 p.m. on a Tuesday and they were seven bucks but they were yummy and had a strong pour. We really enjoyed the. 9/10. The two employees that we interacted with were nice but not over the top. Our waitress kind of just left us alone and that suited us just fine. All in all we had a great afternoon catching up, enjoyed our food, enjoyed our drink and pet everyone's dogs. You just really can't complain about that! Oh and the bathroom was nice and clean and well stocked.
