I've lived here all my life, and this was my first time visiting The Slippery Mermaid. It has the best sushi on the Gulf Coast! The service was great, and since I wasn't sure what to order, my server recommended the chef's special. They asked about my preferences and what I didn't like, and everything was absolutely delicious. I highly recommend this place to anyone who lives in Navarre, is passing through, or is visiting as a tourist and wants to avoid a tourist trap while still enjoying amazing food. Bonus points for the beautiful waterfront location! read more

After a long day of driving The Slippery Mermaid is exactly what the doctor called for! Pleasant service, great atmosphere, fantastic food! Jack waited on us, gave us some great tips on the menu, and absolute service with a smile! We started with the Mermaid Tails and Meso Soup, then had the Psycho Mermaid and Sexy Mermaid rolls, along with a Landlubber's Bowl for our non seafaring friend. We really enjoyed dining on the deck looking out at the sound with the evening breeze. Everyone walked away happy and satisfied! We will definitely be back! read more

It's a cute place. Sushi is decent. I do wish they had more options without cream cheese and all the sauce. Over all it's pretty good. Service is usually on point. Can't complain. More of a lunch spot in my opinion. read more

I was unfortunately not impressed. Seaweed salad tastes JUST like the prepackaged stuff at Publix. The size of the sushi is generous but the flavor itself isn't anything special. I ordered the "Summertime" roll and the wasabi mayo did not have any wasabi taste. The side of ginger and wasabi were also low quality. We have sushi restaurants in Tennessee that have impressed me more than this place. It was alright, but I'm just not sure what all the fuss is about! read more

Called to place a pickup order and was told "we're not taking any more pick up orders for tonight." I said "oh ok.." then I was hung up on! This was at 730 PM and they close at 9 PM. It may sounds crazy but they sounded very enthusiastic that they were not taking anymore orders... Sad to see this place slipping.. read more

One of my favorite sushi spots on the gulf coast! Inside is always clean and inviting, the service is excellent, and the sushi is fresh and flavorful! I always get a chefs roll which you tell them what flavors and fish you like and they create a custom roll just for you 10/10 read more

Florida panhandle and sushi is always an interesting experience. On one hand, people love seafood, on the other hand, many still cringe at the thought of eating raw fish. As a result, the fish that does get caught is hardly ever caught or handled to be ready for sushi. And restaurants that do exist, like The Slippery Mermaid, make an effort to conceal the fish underneath rice and endless toppings as much as possible to avoid scaring their patrons. Slippery Mermaid rolls are a bit whacky. Most are topped with tons of ingredients, are massive and do not resemble a western sushi roll that one might find anywhere else. Perhaps that's a sushi roll Florida Style! Where the big improvement for Slippery Mermaid lies is in the quality of the fish. It's hard to pinpoint exactly why, but it's fairly flavorless. The salmon does not taste like salmon and neither does the tuna. Those deep, unique flavors just do not exist. On the plus side, they are well constructed and the rice is of good consistency. Adding a quality sake list would have been a really great addition to the restaurant. Where The Slippery Mermaid truly shines is the staff. Truly kind people working here, extremely attentive and simply amazing. The space is very busy, almost always. read more

As a native of Pittsburgh, I was thrilled to see that Slippery Mermaid just happened to be in Navarre where we were vacationing. We ordered 3 different rolls and all were quite good. The Pleaser had the right kick and was very filling. Only qualm was the "steak" inside. It looked (and tasted) fake. Otherwise, very good rolls and was on time for pick up! Will try the Pittsburgh location at some point as well on a trip back home! read more

My wife and I have been dropping by this restaurant for 15 years and it has never disappointed. Wonderful Sushi restaurant, outstanding service, and a cozy atmosphere. It's a must every time we drop into town, and it should be on your short list when you are looking for a Sushi restaurant, The Slippery Mermaid delivers. read more

We were in for lunch on 7/3. The Slippery Mermaid does not disappoint. New this trip was the Land and Sea roll, it was okay, but the Psych & Sassy Mermaid rolls remain my favorite. The crispy Mermaid Tail appetizer has the best sauce that is the right mix if sweet & heat. We had a short wait for a table around 1pm, but the service was fast and attentive once seated. The dining area had a mix of tourists and locals, so the word is definitely out about this yummy spot. read more

I love eating here, food is excellent and the service is always fast and friendly! Tonight I came in at 8:10 pm to dine and was told the wait would extend past the hours of operation. That's totally understandable, however we got our food to go and ate outside, no one came in after us and there were quite a few tables open. This was a weird experience since myself and others I know have frequented here around the same time and have never had this happen. I understand the restaurant closes at 9 pm this was just a one off experience compared to the many pleasant ones I have had here. read more

First time here, and it lived up to the hype! I am a sushi lover but personally, I am not one for raw fish. Luckily, The Slippery Mermaid ‍ offers several cooked options! They also offer vegetarian and gluten free options. Not included in the photo was our appetizer: the mermaid tails. Cooked, crunchy, saucy, and delicious!! Troy was our server and he was an absolute sweetheart. We are from out of state with many questions and we took several minutes to order but Troy was happy to help us! The PA location is closer - but not nearby - to our home state. We will definitely make a trip to Sewickley to try more of The Slippery Mermaid! read more

This isn't New York sushi. And I know you'll say... honey you are not in NY but when close to ocean waters I think sushi will have an exceptional experience. I ordered take out and the rolls came in a styrofoam box. I was a little taken back and worried about it. All of the rolls I ordered were drench in sauce and completely took away from the roll itself. The rice was very soft and mushy and not firm. The plus is the fish was fresh. But I was a little disappointed on the over kill of the sauce. A light drizzle would have been a better experience. The staff was extremely pleasant and the food was ready very fast. Definite plus there. read more

I have been in the area for 7 months. I had given up hope of ever finding a good sushi spot. Until today! After placing our order it did take a bit to get our food but it was sooooooo worth it. Such a good spot. read more

Small little sushi restaurant in Navarre that i visited when i was in Florida this summer. We were part of a party of 7 - 3 adults and 4 kids. Unfortunately we had to sit outside cause there was not a place for us to sit inside. But they crammed 2 tables together outside for us to sit at. Food and service was pretty good. Kid ordered the sexy mermaid - which i think he only ordered cause of the name. LOL Kid said it was really strange, but not terrible. I ordered edamame and a poke bowl. Edamame is standard fare. But the poke bowl was DELICIOUS!! read more

Amazing sushi!! The tropical mermaid was so good! We had to go back twice for it! The tuna nigiri was so fresh and delicious! Serious must try! We will be back! read more

Such a nice cozy place for sushi in Navarre! We love this place. We met a sweet guy named Poppy on the beach a few years back and he recommended this place. We've been coming ever since. When in Navarre, Slippery Mermaid for dinner. Everyone is always so friendly and welcoming. Our waiter this past weekend was so good to us. Very attentive and helpful with our order. The food is amazing. Of course the sushi is always fresh and delicious. The saki is great. It's very low key with great music. If you're looking for good sushi this is the place. read more

In from Oklahoma for a quick beach trip and had heard nothing but good things about the sushi. We were seated quickly and ordered edamame as an app. We tried three rolls: the raider roll, the sexy mermaid and the Poseidon. Everything was delicious and we had speedy service. If you like like and cilantro, TRY the Sexy Mermaid. It was so fresh and unique. read more

Read to see why im giving low stars. Being gluten free with a gluten intolerance we were so happy to see the Slippery Mermaid takes pride to offer GF options on their menu. With that being said we ordered through DoorDash the GF options of sushi. Knowing that they carry GF soy sauce we looked everywhere on the menu for it but it was not there. They had every other sauce on the menu i.e. spicy mayo, Sriracha, garlic sauce (all at Xtra $1.00 charge,) but no GF soy sauce. So we called and specifically and asked for them to include it and the woman said they would. When we received our 63..00 order there was only regular soy sauce. So we called and they did not apologize only made it about the $1.00 charge for the sauce they would not receive. A frigging $1.00. So we had to eat our sushi with no soy sauce. Shame on them read more

Hands down some of the best sushi we have had in awhile! The atmosphere and view were great! Our server made great recommendations. We had an awesome time and will definitely be back on a future visit! read more

The Slippery Mermaid - Tiger Roll, Tropical Mermaid* and Land and Sea* - Sushi Bars Near Me - Navarre, Florida

We came on a road-trip from New Orleans to Navarre. This is definitely one of the best options when coming through here. The place was busy when we arrived, people waiting to be seated. We didn't wait long since there was only two of us. The vibes are great! Brittany the bartender was our server, she was so sweet and attentive. We eat alot of sushi in CA (where we're from) and we were not disappointed with the quality of rolls. The sexy mermaid was a fun choice, you won't regret it! The chefs roll was killer, nice little citrus on top, and a little sweet Thai sauce, but could be different every time someone orders it - so good and unique! The music was great. Just a very fun, light environment. Their unfiltered sake is great. read more

Excellent selection and the taste was amazing. Looks to be always busy but if you're good you're good lol. Wait time was reasonable. Will return and try some other sushi there as we saw many still to try. read more
