Jump in here on the way to the airport running from the hurricane and glad we did. The ability to sit inside or out is perfect leaving with a great view of the water. Even saw a kid catch a fish. the service was top tier, our waiter always ensured our drinks were filled, and that we were good. Burger (not pictured sadly) was fantastic. I am not a sea food guy, but my wife is and it was a nice sized burger and seasoned well and tasted fantastic. Wife loved the Mahi Mahi. Overall, spent $72 with the tip. great views, great service and would come back. read more

Very nice low key restaurant. The service is great and staff is friendly. Dim lighting and good music. Apparently lots of celebrities frequent this place so there's a nice little cool collection of photos on the wall to browse through if you have a wait. The food is amazing here! That Lobster Mac the serve is delicious. I had the Pecan Crusted Catfish but somehow lost the picture or deleted. Very fresh and tasty. Shrimp was nice and plump, also very fresh. Now their drinks are very strong, almost a little too strong for me. read more

Stopped in while in town this week. I ended up sitting at the bar since there was a wait for a table. Bartenders were great. Great food selection. Would love to sit outside on the deck next time since I love the water. Ordered the fish taco dinner, it came with three tacos, I had the fish fried and I got a side of grits, a mockarita to drink and Creme brûlée for dessert. Food was great. Plenty of parking in the lot. Dinner was $50 before tax. Would come again, there is more on the menu I want to try. read more

Tradition when in the panhandle ! My family and I made a stop to the fish house as we have been doing for many years while staying at the family beach home. Dinner outside was absolutely fantastic and the kids really had a great time. I think they have the best oysters in Florida as they are so fresh and full of flavor. Service was excellent and ambiance is like a family reunion . Definitely recommended!!! read more

Stopped in a quick bite and it was close to my hotel. The reviews say it's 4stars but I found it to be just average. I came in for yellowtail dish that I saw online but they didn't have it, I ended up going with my servers recommendation which was the Crawfish pot pie which was amazing, a little heavy but still good. The crab cucumber salad was the disappointment- it was just a mayo & cucumber not one piece of crab in there. The edamame was horrendous, half were cold and other pieces looked not it had freezer burn. Probably won't be back as nothing blow me away. But I will say the service was amazing, fast and super attentive. Also the view was amazing. read more

Another amazing brunch at Fish House! Olivia was absolutely wonderful and took such great care of us. Great service always makes the experience even better! Of course I had to get my favorite, the Grits à Ya Ya, and they were delicious as always. We also tried the chicken and waffles at brunch and they were SO good! Everything was fresh, flavorful, and perfectly cooked. Great food, great atmosphere, and amazing service from Olivia. One of our favorite Pensacola spots and we'll definitely be back! read more

First stop from the airport. Fantastic place. Beautiful view. Sat outside. It was fun looking at the pictures of all the famous people who have visited there hanging up on the wall as we walked in. We had the grouper bites which were delicious and the shrimp cocktail which was good as well. Best part of our visit was our server Dylan. He was so nice and gave us several recommendations while in the area. Thanks also Dylan for the tasty Key Lime Pie. So good. read more

I had not been here in 15 years! Nothing has changed, a bit of nostalgia. The dessert was amazing. The service is always good, that has not changed. If nothing else I could go for the dessert , a craft beer, and the view. The port of Pensacola right next door is doing some unsightly things, but I didn't notice much once I got on the deck. Still an amazing place to hang out on the deck. read more

What an absolute gem of a find. The outdoor patio is gorgeous overlooking boating docs with a great breeze! The staff is friendly and gave the best recommendations for lunch. The fish tacos were my favorite dish today. Spicy, great texture, loved the balanced favors and elements of the dish. The Shrimp and Grits were also lovely, the shrimp were extremely fresh. I'd come back here hands down for the outdoor patio && the fish tacos! read more

We started off with sushi (Tiger and Volcano) and it was yummy! Then, I ordered " Pecan-Crusted Catfish" and my husband ordered "World-Famous Grits à Ya Ya." Loved the sushi and my husband's meal. He those shrimp are some of the best he has ever had! I however, did not like the brown butter sauce the put on my fried catfish... tasted weird and made my fish crust soggy and was all in my delicious Gouda grits. The catfish needed to be cooked a little more. I had the green beans swapped for their hush puppies and that was an awesome choice. Restaurant had a huge patio area that was perfect for a late lunch/ early dinner and our server (Anthony) was great. read more

Had a little bit of a wait which I would probably expect for a Saturday night. Manages to snag an outside seat. Started with dried grouper bites, the fry was good and light. The stuffed flounder was cooked well the rice was a little off, too much extra chucks of veggies or something which was off putting. The grilled grouper serving felt small for $40, but it was cooked and seasoned well. The potatoes were yummy, felt there was more potato than the serving of fish. I enjoyed the creme brulee, it was a normal vanilla bean flavor with a strong sugar crust. The Gouda grits were nice too, good flavors all well cooked. Perfect Saturday evening spent with good food and service. read more

Well ...... after a long wait to accommodate 17 who were all here. We got seated in doors and proceeded to order. Generally you would have a manager to come over and introduce themselves and apologize for the extended wait and assure that we're going to take care of you. They definitely missed that training day of mgr school training. Here's the positive we were with family whom we haven't seen in a few years and it was a positive dinner. read more

We came in on Saturday for dinner and thought we beat the crowd but forgot about graduations!!!! We had a hour wait but it was well worth it. Once we were seated, our server Rick was right there. He is pretty funny so ask for Rick on the weekends. He gave us some great ideas and we went with what he suggested. We had the Grits A Ya Ya and the Catfish Meuniere. The grits were probably some of the best we have had. They were creamy, smooth and cheesy all at the same time. The shrimp were cooked to perfection and made that dish rock. The catfish had a pecan crust and the sauce that was over it made it an amazing dish. For dessert, we had an amazing bread pudding and key lime pie. The only this about the desserts that need correcting is the green sauce on the key lime pie. It doesn't do anything for the pie . The manager Dean came over and apologized for the delay in getting our meals and we really appreciated that. He was really nice and made up for our delay in dinner. We will definitely be back and the views help make the dining experience even better. read more

If Poseidon ever opened a restaurant, I imagine it would look a lot like The Fish House in Pensacola -- coastal, classy, and the kind of place where the cocktails arrive looking like they've been to finishing school. We went for lunch and grabbed a table outside, because why sit indoors when you can bask in that bayside glow and pretend you're in a Visit Florida commercial? You walk in expecting fish (it's literally in the name), but somehow I ended up being lured -- talked into, really -- ordering the Five Sisters Fried Chicken, which came with the bold promise of being "the best fried chicken ever." Listen... I love confidence. Truly. But calling it the best ever is like calling me the next quarterback for the Saints. Optimistic? Yes. Accurate? Absolutely not. Don't get me wrong -- the chicken was good. It was tasty. It was tender. The kind of fried chicken that makes you nod and say, "Yeah, that's nice." But the bottom was a little soggy, like it briefly thought about becoming a biscuit and then abandoned the mission halfway. Best ever? Not today. Now -- the shrimp cocktails? Excellent. Cold, snappy, and fresh enough that I felt the need to apologize to the Gulf. And the outdoor environment? Stunning. Breezy, bright, and basically crafted for people who want to casually drop "We lunched waterfront today" into conversations. And then, as if the universe wanted to remind us that Pensacola loves a good moment, we were buzzed by a Blue Angels flyover. I don't care who you are -- that instantly elevates any lunch. It's like Mother Nature and the U.S. Navy teamed up to give us a standing ovation. Overall? Fantastic shrimp, beautiful setting, solid lunch all around -- just not the fried-chicken spiritual awakening I was promised. Four stars. Would happily return... and next time, I'm letting the fish be the star. read more

We wanted to give a shoutout to Ricky at Fish House for the awesome service he gave us during our visit to Pensacola. We even talked to the manager, Nick, because we felt like Ricky deserved to be recognized. Ricky made the whole experience feel comfortable and genuine from the start. He was able to talk with my family in both Spanish and English, which honestly made everyone feel welcomed and included. He's very personable and easy to talk to, and you can tell he enjoys what he does. One thing we really appreciated was how attentive he was without being overbearing. He checked on us at all the right times, made sure everything was good, and never made us feel rushed or interrupted while we were enjoying our meal. He's also really knowledgeable about the menu and gave great recommendations whenever we had questions. We've had Ricky as our server before, and he's honestly one of the reasons we keep coming back. The food is always delicious, but having great service like that makes the experience even better. Fish House is lucky to have someone like Ricky on the team. read more

Didn't realize I had eaten here before until I sat down to write this review... apparently, this is my second time. This spot is unassuming -- almost deceiving based on appearances -- but don't judge a book by its cover. The food is GOOD. For example, the chicken tenders are seasoned to perfection. You can tell the marinade wasn't rushed. Flavor all the way through, not just on the surface. You will not go wrong with the Grits YaYa. Looking back at my previous review, I ordered it last time too. Normally I'd try something different, but I'm not even mad that I circled back for the same dish. That says a lot. There's plenty of indoor and outdoor seating overlooking the boat dock and the Bay Bridge -- a nice view whether you're with family or on a date night. Definitely add this one to the list. read more

I was so skeptical coming here. I thought it would be another average waterfront restaurant. Boy, was I wrong. The hot collard dip, shrimp and grits, and catfish meniere were top tier.

Not impressed. The outside of the restaurant was shabby and in need of repair. Sat by a smeary window that hadn't been cleaned for awhile. Took awhile to get the food and longer to get drink refills. The food was good, but mine wasn't very warm. The waitress finally checked on us to see how everything was when we were about finished. Give it a solid Ehhh... read more

Good service friendly staff food is good. I like their gumbo a very relaxed atmosphere. It's lovely to sit out on the deck and take in the scenery. As well. I have pictures. My phone was stolen. However, I have been able to retrieve many pictures. I will post them very soon. read more

Ok it's TRUE the outside appearance of the building is not very appealing to the eye!!! But don't judge a book by its cover.... For the last 10+ years The Fish House has been one of our favorite well established seafood restaurants w/o going to Pensacola Beach- Hands Down!! FRESH FISH - Grouper, Redfish, Salmon & Gumbo have been our favorites. Prices are very reasonable, service is excellent, hospitality is good, except when 500 guests are waiting in line for excellent FISH.... Twice a week visits remain on our menu when we visit PCOLA!!! Rating: 9.5 / 10. read more

Went to Veterans Memorial Park and finished about 11:00 am. Saw that this place was close and already opened. Glad we ate early as this place seemed popular. It was pretty large though. I had fish and chips (old bay seasoning) and absolutely loved it! Service was friendly. Nice view as it is right on the water. read more

Took the (1) bartender 30 minutes to get a drink for us. She was awful. The white sangria tasted like it was made from a bottle that had been opened in the heat all afternoon. We ordered the Salmon Oscar, Soul Rolls, and Hush Puppies. The atmosphere is nice and we are sitting outside. Our waiter, Zach , was the best part of this experience. If not for him , your rating wouldn't be as good as it is. read more

Fish house was outstanding ! Love the baked oysters and blackened red fish . Highly recommend!

The food was great, and the view was even better, we sat on the back patio, and I loved how they had fans going to help with airflow and keep the flies away. Our server, Anthony, was awesome. There were nine of us, and he did a wonderful job keeping drinks filled and getting all our orders right without missing a beat. My mom did find a hair in her food, but we've all worked in the service industry before and know how things happen, we didn't make a big deal out of it. Still, I have to mention it, which is the only reason I'm giving four stars instead of five. I had the crab cakes for an appetizer, really good! The scampi was a bit watery but had that classic scampi flavor. The oysters were okay, but the stuffed crab meat flounder was great. I really appreciated how they used a lot of the same ingredients across dishes, it shows versatility and smart product use without compromising quality. Overall, definitely a solid four stars, and I'd absolutely go back! read more

This place lived up to expectations. It had a lot of reviews so I figured that there must be a reason that it was popular. We only had one night in Pensacola and had to make it count. I decided this would be the place to sample the local cuisine. We were a little nervous because it was a Saturday night at around 7:30 or 8ish. The outside was very inviting but they had a table available immediately inside. There is an aquarium which provided entertainment for me and some irritation for GF because I kept asking her to turn around and "look at that big one". Our server was excellent. She didn't keep us waiting for anything and checked in on us. They flattered us but asking us mid 30s broads for ID. I ordered the ?black cadillac and GF the regular, run of the mill margarita. I like the creativity with some of the drinks but my drink was basically a brick to the face with flavor. It was a little bit overwhelming. It would have been great watered down a smidge. I like flavors but it was too much syrup/mixer to the point where it was detrimental. Fortunately they have a very extensive beer menu that I was able to pluck something off of for my second drink. Their menu is also quite extensive but not in the how-could-they-do-anything-well kind of way. They had a lot of appealing appetizers, especially their collard dip which I probably would have ordered if it came with something other than pork rinds. I will say that I was VERY impressed by a few vegetarian/vegan options they kindly included! What a lovely surprise. I ordered a vegan entree, sweet potato curry, and it was better than I expected. It was really tasty. I ordered their pimento mac and cheese and this was absolute crack. I wish this came entree sized. GF started with half of a dozen butter and garlic oysters, she says, "outstanding". For her main, she ordered their famous grits a yaya she says "incredible" and then "I told you, I was really liking the seasoning, whatever seasoning they had in it". I snuck a few bites of the grits and they were phenomenal. If I was a lil less full I would have liked to try some dessert. Also if GF had given me the opportunity rather than answering "no we're ok" when they asked without discussing with me first. Lol. I can see what the hype is about. read more

A great water - view choice with fresh food fish that has not all been fried to death. At the entry there are photos of famous folks who came here, which made me fear it was more hype than quality. However, we had fresh oysters shrimp red fish -- great service Gulf oysters 1/2 dozen and super sweet not briney Shrimp cocktail-- excellent and fresh Cup of gumbo-- good Redfish Lafayette with crawdads and Gouda grits-- creamy grits. The redfish was moist and delicious Key lime pie-- ok Super friendly waiter ( thanks Cayden) who helped us discern the taste differences of local fish. read more

I had really high hopes for this restaurant and I think three stars is generous. It's not that anyone thing specifically was bad it's just in General a bad vibe. Everything was a disappointment. Our food was too Salty and that is coming from two people who love salty food like chips. It was just really heavily salted. The view is great and the service was excellent. We had the grouper bites which were good. I opted for the shrimp and grits or grits Yaya, which was very salty and heavily covered with a cheese sauce. I felt the shrimp was a little overcooked and overly spiced so that they tasted really, really salty . My husband had a burger which he did really like, and he also liked his fries. I think something bothered us is we sat across from a waitress station andthe bottom of the refrigerator was falling out, and there was trash all over the floor. with the prices that they charge for their food. I really thought this place should've looked a lot better. We won't return unless it's for drinks and just an appetizer. Just not great. read more

Service was friendly and attentive, but unfortunately the food was mediocre at best. I kept my order simple with shrimp cocktail, a dinner salad, and fried fish, so I wasn't expecting much beyond the basics. The meal was just okay and didn't really stand out in flavor or quality. The service was the highlight of the experience, but the food left me disappointed. read more

Fun outside seating available, but we close to sit inside due to the heat. Server was attentive and kept our drinks filled.

Our second visit and we would come again. read more
