Pensacola’s Pizza Paradise: Top Spots For Your Next Slice
Welcome to Pensacola, where pizza lovers can indulge in a range of different pizza styles.
Dine Perdido Key: Fine eats in your flip-flops
The best type of food can be eaten in flip-flops. In the Perdido Key area and looking for just that? Northwest Florida’s “Lost Key” has certainly kept its flavor. Check out our picks for dining in Perdido.
Today, more luxurious condos pepper the pristine coastline, but the eateries that grace Perdido Key all share a similar recipe: serve great food and treat guests like family. First, many call their addresses “Perdido Key,” but officially on your GPS, it’s Pensacola. Just don’t tell them that!
Lillian’s Pizza
Flora-Bama Lounge & Package
Flora Bama Yacht Club
Flora Bama Ole River Grill
Fisherman’s Corner
Driving towards Perdido Key, if you aim at the Theo Baars Bridge and miss, you’ll land at Fisherman’s Corner. The little shack along the Intracoastal Waterway serves up some great casual Cajun Creole eats. The favorite: New Orleans BBQ Shrimp, which features jumbo shrimp sautéed in Yuengling, creole-herb seasoning and garlic butter.
Jellyfish Bar Restaurant
Jellyfish brought cultured flavors of martinis and sushi to the Key in the wave of growth following Hurricane Ivan in 2004. It still retains a casual attitude, but the sushi is among the best you’ll find along the Pensacola Bay Area. The reason: fresh Gulf Coast seafood.
There are also oyster specials and seafood, such as pecan-encrusted grouper, and prime rib, meatloaf and ribeye for land-lubbers. And cocktails? Oh yes, try the Lost Key Lemonade with Tito’s or my favorites, the Jameson Green Tea and Loaded Bloody Mary.
Sunset Grille
Lost Key Golf Club Restaurant
Lost Key Golf Club has a challenging, award-winning course, but as a non-golfer, I say skip all that stress and go straight to the restaurant. It’s a popular stop for breakfast and lunch with fine casual fare and happy hour specials so you can really enjoy watching others feed their golf habit.
The Crab Trap
Kin to the Destin and Fort Walton restaurants, the beachfront Crab Trap is a great spot for a casual lunch or family beach day – with a boardwalk leading to its back porch. Great family spot with a playground and a special menu designed just for kids, along with seafood specials for the adults.
Perdido Key Oyster Bar & Marina
Dockside along the expansive marina at Intracoastal Waterway mile marker 31, the Oyster Bar has been a mainstay for years for casual waterfront dining. Serving oysters on the half-shell, steamed, blackened or Rockefeller-ed, the oyster bar also offers classics such as market fish specials and Blackened Oscar.
Hub Stacey's at The Point
Unlike its Downtown Pensacola location, you can get to Hubs by boat or paddleboard! Perched on Galvez Landing, The Point offers great sandwiches, localized to the Key’s unique flavor. Live music and an expansive deck make it a great hangout as you watch the boats and barges cruise the Intracoastal Waterway.
Deep Blue Seafood Truck
The Deep Blue Seafood truck is a locals’ favorite lunch stop on the key, at Johnson Beach Road and Perdido Key Drive (where The Reef used to stand). Jen says they serve the best Po’ Boys along Perdido, thanks to lovingly-prepared fresh seafood and Gambino’s bread. Try the shrimp and snapper sliders, or the Seafood Philly, dripping with shrimp, snapper, onions, peppers and mozzarella.
Now that you're drooling on your screens, it's time for a food tour!
