The Debri Sandwich is a must! Great service and friendly staff. Easy parking and convenient.

I took my friend out for a deive on our last day of being Hurricane Evacure, and this is where we landed, since neither of us had any experience with the location, we went in happily! Its a little dark, but it's comfortable,once your eyes adjust. I had the Muffeleta sandwich that tasted AHMAZING! It was also Huge! My friend had the salmon and said it was some if the heat dalmon shed ever eaten. The service was prompt and attentitive.

Everything was simply amazing, friendly staff, clean environment love the music playing gave a real New Orleans atmosphere. Drinks came out quick and delicious food. The same hot fresh. Amazing.. Even though we were full, we had to make room for some beignets, which were hot and delicious Be prepared to spend some money, but the food is well worth it Looking forward to return and try some of the other food. The shrimp and grits was great also.

More raw oysters and the fried oyster basket...I'm addicted. Great New Orleans vibe and atmosphere.

This place is so good that I ate here three times during my weeklong visit. Seafood gumbo had good flavor. I had the surf and turf, Poboy, and the shrimp in it were phenomenal, the roast beef was good as well. The next time I are here, I had the crab claws and shrimp plate. Both were served hot with a decent crunch and a lot of flavor. Even the french fries were good. All three nights the service was perfect, the third having sat at the bar and serviced by the bartender, which was on spot as well. The atmosphere seems to be very good, servers and employees seem like they're a cohesive team and in good spirits. This is a solid 4 1/2 star review, with the only drawback being the reaux in the gumbo was a little thin from my liking, and the consistency of the crab claws was a little different. the second time I had them, a little less crispy.

I planned a trip to Pensacola Beach and wanted to eat somewhere that served chargrilled oysters. I found this place and the website pictures and descriptions intrigued me. An explanation for the four stars is as follows: Hurricane drink (5) - Excellent drink. Good quality and great price. Charbroiled oysters (2) - i thought they were chargrilled so my bad for ordering these. They were ok. Creole gumbo (3) - good taste and dark roux. Tons of rice and very little meat. Turf and Surf Poboy (5) - excellent and will have to try it again. Service (2) - drinks were served quickly but the food took a long time. I think there was a party on the other side of the restaurant. Ambiance (2) - I did not expect much but the floors were not clean and all condiment bottles on my table were empty. I will go back to this place as I think it has potential to be so much better.

Our early lunch at Nola Restaurant in Pensacola, FL was a delightful experience, despite the Florida heat creeping in as we sat on the charming patio. We were warmly greeted and promptly seated by the maître d', who accommodated our request for outdoor dining. While we initially waited a bit for our server, who seemed to be juggling multiple tables, once he attended to us, his service was attentive and friendly. The highlight of our meal was undoubtedly the sautéed crab claws, served generously in a bowl over a bed of lettuce. They were cooked to perfection, bursting with flavor, though the lettuce underneath wilted a bit from the heat of the dish. My boyfriend opted for the fried grouper sandwich with cheese, which was delicious, although we were surprised by the substantial additional charge for the cheese and change in fish. We couldn't resist trying the Creole seafood gumbo, which, while good, didn't quite stand out compared to the other stellar dishes. The rice served alongside was a tad underdone for my taste, though it paired surprisingly well with the flavors of the gumbo. To cap off our meal, we savored half a dozen charbroiled oysters, made even better by our server's generosity in extending happy hour pricing for us. The aroma of garlic butter and Parmesan was irresistible, though the oysters varied in size, with one particularly large specimen that unfortunately we decided to skip due to texture concerns. Overall, the oysters were flavorful and perfectly charbroiled, leaving a lasting impression. Despite a few minor upsell surprises and presentation suggestions, Nola Restaurant delivered a memorable dining experience with its fresh seafood and gracious service. We look forward to returning to explore more of their enticing menu offerings and enjoying another sunny day on their inviting patio. Highly recommended for seafood enthusiasts looking for a delicious taste of Pensacola!

OMG one of the best meals I've had in a long time. I have not had BBQ shrimp this good since I was in Louisiana. An very authentic with the heads still on the shrimp. It took me a little time to peel and eat them because they were served steaming hot. Great broth. And the dipping bread made the meal even better. Great service. The waitress helped mom decide on her shrimp basket and kept our drinks full. She was timely in checking on us. Great decor. Made me feel like I was back in New Orleans. Highest recommendation!!!

We visited for dinner during our visit and returning two days later for lunch and the food was amazing! We had an appetizers and entree meals. All were delicious and big portions. The craft drinks are very tasty too. Especially the Hurricane which is made just as strong as New Orleans style. (If you've been you know) Our server on both visits were prompt and courteous. Definitely a New Orleans vibe with the decor. We look forward to returning.
