But let’s not forget about the little beach lovers in your life: we’ve got a recommendation for them too. For the little ones, have them try the popcorn shrimp on The Fish House’s Kids’ Menu. Looking for something to pair your meal with? The Fish House also features an extensive drink menu featuring wine by the glass and bottle and house cocktails.

The restaurant’s vibrant energy perfectly encapsulates the essence of Pensacola Beach. Start off your night with a plate of Southern Fried Dill Pickles, a savory treat that perfectly balances the tanginess of the pickles with the creaminess of the ranch dressing. For your main course, try their Seafood Topped Steak Burger, a unique creation that combines the richness of a burger with a flavorful medley of shrimp and whitefish, all topped with melted Swiss cheese. Pair this meal with the James Bond cocktail, a sophisticated blend of Gordon’s London Dry Gin, Absolut Vodka, Kina Lillet Aperitif, and a refreshing twist of lemon. A unique feature at Flounders is its play area made specifically for children. Relax and enjoy your meal while your kids play – Flounders has something for everyone in the family!

At Red Fish Blue Fish, the sprawling outdoor seating area offers a relaxed and inviting environment, allowing you to soak in the coastal breeze while savoring your meal. Treat your taste buds to the Blue Fish Fries, an abundant serving of sidewinder fries smothered in a bechamel cheese sauce, then topped with a mix of cajun sausage, crawfish tails, and fresh green onions. For the main course, be sure to savor the Redfish Redfish, a remarkable dish featuring blackened redfish resting on a bed of jasmine rice, accompanied by asparagus and a cajun crawfish cream, all garnished with fresh scallions. Complete your seaside feast with a glass of their house margarita, offering a perfect balance of citrusy zest and tequila-infused refreshment.
Restaurant NOLA
The ambiance at Restaurant NOLA exudes an upscale, lively spirit of New Orleans, offering a welcoming and energetic setting to enjoy an array of Creole-inspired delights. Begin your culinary experience with the Geaux Geaux Shrimp, a creation featuring crispy fried shrimp tossed in a flavorsome New Orleans-style BBQ sauce. For the main dish, savor the Creole Past Florentine, a rich dish that combines al dente penne pasta, fresh and vibrant spinach, grilled chicken, and a generous showering of savory parmesan cheese.
