I’ve always loved Peg Legs - great deals on oysters throughout the week and delicious food. We like to sit at the bar when it’s busy and don’t want to wait for a table. They took my gluten allergy very seriously and had a separate gluten free menu and had a manager come talk to me to assure me. Highly recommend!

We dropped in at 5 pm. They said they did not have any water view tables, because they were reserved. Well we left at 6 after having great meals, 50% of the water view tables were still empty. Suggestion, at least leave a couple of tables for walkins or let the walks in know its for a limited time. I see loss of revenue when people don't show up or leave because of no water view. The food was awesome and service was good. We had a Shrimp and grits, Salmon dinner and a delicious gluten free brownie with vanilla ice cream and dash of rum. We will return and call ahead of time.

My dad is celiac and IT IS NOT A GLUTEN FREE SAFE PLACE! The server wasn't sure about any meal, she said" maybe it is gluten free" so... If you are celiac you know that " maybe" it's not safe , btw the fans didn't work and no a/c

Fun, rustic atomphere. Covered outdoor seating on the bay. The St Louis ribs were delicious. Fast, friendly service. Server is knowledgeable of gluten free options. Most of the menu is gluten free. Would go back again.

Cailyn was fantastic! Had a gluten allergen at the table and was able to provide a GF menu and help answer any questions. Was very busy around 5-6pm, she handled it great

We ate here twice during our stay in Pensacola Beach, I had peperoni pizza which was good, it was light on sauce which is the way I like it. My wife had the gluten friendly crust with pepperoni and mushroom both times. She said it was in the top three of all pizzas she has had, mine was good but nothing special. They did leave off the mushrooms the second time, when we did carry out so it would have been too much trouble to go back and get it corrected. The pizza is a bit more expensive than most places, but that is kind of the norm for most restaurants on the beach. And drinks are a bootle or can, so no refills.

I have been here quite a few times and each time has been pleasant. The service is always good and the food as well. Each time I come I make sure to let our server know I have a gluten allergy and also an oyster allergy. They have GF marked next to their Gluten Free items which I love and, in my experience, the servers are knowledgeable. Yesterday, our server was Bethany and she took extra precaution for me and noted all allergies to the kitchen and took very good care of us. I feel very confident when I come in here. I had the ribs, (jr size,) and they fell off the bone, I ate them with a fork they were so tender. My daughter just wanted a side caesar salad and said it was delicious. The restaurants along Pensacola Beach are some of the best but Whiskey Joes is my FAVE!

I stopped in not sure what to expect but Terry was such a delight. She helped me figure out what was gluten free on the menu so I could have a delicious breakfast! Thanks again and I’m sure I’ll be back! :)

Salt delivered on every level. I started with a perfectly made dirty martini, and those blue cheese-stuffed olives were a standout. For dinner, I had the lamb lollipops, and they were tender, flavorful, and beautifully plated. We shared the charcuterie board, which was not only high quality but also had gluten-free crackers, a detail I really appreciated. It’s rare to find a restaurant that offers such great gluten-free options without compromising flavor or presentation. Service was top-notch, the atmosphere was relaxed yet upscale, and I left genuinely impressed. Salt is far more than a hotel restaurant. It’s a restaurant this Pensacola local looks forward to visiting again and again.

I love coming here when in Pensacola. It's my special night for great food and wine. The staff is always wonderful and helped me to navigate my gluten free needs. I have to get the wagyu beef no matter what, it melts on the tongue with a delightful salty feel. I love the new crab dish with delicate radishes. And always find the sashimi to be top notch!

Not as great as competitors for several reasons: 1. The açaí base was so thick, it broke my spoon. 2. The staff was unable to give me information on gluten free options in the store. 3. Staff were on their phone the entire time while I was trying to order. The bowl itself was okay, but the customer service is what got me the most. Fellow açaí shops in the area have way better service and that is probably why I will stick with them.

Over cooked shrimp the gluten free menu was false all in all would never recommend to my drunkest friends or my gluten free friends

Jennifer DiMaria

Richie was our server and he was awesome! I have a gluten allergy and Richie did a great job helping me find safe items to order. The party atmosphere was fun and we enjoyed our food!

First time there and wow, what a neat little place! Just a super easy going, nice, beachy vibe/décor with both indoor and outdoor covered seating where you can chill in the breeze, which we did. We were immediately sold when the super nice bartender (Krista, who we later learned was actually the GM) said that yep, while they weren’t celiac-friendly due to same fryers, they could totally do cornmeal seafood for GF folks like my wife. PROS: • Service (5.0 stars) – Wendy was incredible, crazy friendly and super helpful, got answers to our questions with a smile, super friendly and took great care of us from start to finish! • Fried Shrimp (4.5) – Loved my regular battered shrimp, and the wife loved her cornmeal shrimp – win-win for both of us! • French Fries (4.5) – Very fresh, with just the right amount of seasoning, and just the cuts I like too – regular cut, with just a hint of crisp on the outside while being nicely soft on the inside. • Fried Okra (4.0) – Yummy, and always nice to find a seafood spot who serves it so well : ) • GF Options (5.0) – Not many restaurants in PNSB offer cornmeal seafood so this place is a real gem of a find. Note that they’re not celiac friendly as they don’t have separate fryers, but if you’re like my wife who’s just simply GF and won’t double over from a hint of it, it’s totally fine! CONS: • Oh yeah, there were none : ) And like Ahnold said, I’ll be back! (Er, make that “we’ll” be back : ) )
