Reviews for The Oar House in Pensacola, FL
After eating here I see why this place has such a good rating. Yes, this place is great for seafood. The fish is fresh, the... shrimp is cooked to perfection, and the margaritas are great just make sure you tell the bartender how you want the drink made.I was pleased and impressed with every dish and bite. The best tip I can give you is to ask for the Oar sauce and dip it ineverything! it's their house sauce, and it's great on fish, fries, and even the hush puppies. And yes, the Hush puppies areperfect; they are sweet and not dry. I had the fried fish combo basket combo, and I left so full I almost fell asleep driving onthe way home. My dad who was with me on this trip had the grouper and rice, and he said he loved the Blackened style fish andthat it was the right amount of spice and the fish was just right and flaky. The rice was great also, and the vegetables werenice and fresh. The wait staff was nice and friendly and helpful. I had a great time here. There was plenty of parking, and wewere shown to our seats immediately. I only wish I would have brought a lot more people because this place seems it would havebeen great to spend the entire day there eating and drinking. The view is great, and the music was not too loud. I had a goodtime here and can't wait to return. Read more
Nice little place. Not really a secret, but I know alot of locals who have never been here. We got at least once a month. The... cheese grits are pretty good. Whenever we have guests this is a place we take them or recommend it. Definitely worth a try andthe prices aren't bad. Read more
Love going to this place every time I'm in town! Their crocodile bites are always a hit. ???? The service is always friendly,... and we love sitting out overlooking the water, but there are plenty of other options for seating, including a rectangle barspace and covered seating as well. The sand volleyball court looks fun, but haven't tried it yet. Read more
Great hangout spot. Great food, service and drinks at a very reasonable price. One interesting note...they have a Tenderloin... Steak (filet) for $27.95! Could it possibly be good? It was a about 10 oz. perfectly cooked and delicious! If you likevolleyball, they got that too. Read more
First time here, it was recommended to me. I have to say it was very good. Beautiful scenery. For starters we had the smoked... tuna dip and that was delicious. The fish was delicious, the only thing I didn?t like was the fried oysters they were bland andjust not appetizing, the cheese grits were good, shrimp good. Overall, it was a great experience. Our server was awesome! Read more
Oar House is such a cool place and dining experience; great beach bar. The food was okay. We had oyster and shrimp baskets. The... oysters were large which made them a bit tough/chewy but everything was well seasoned. The hush puppies were delicious. Ourwaiter, Irvin, was AWESOME, very professional and attentive; he should be made a manager! The only disappointment was the coffeecocktails. Read more
WOW!!! First off, I wish I had taken pictures of my food, but at first site I rushed in for a bite and never thought of pictures... again. I only wanted to keep tasting that amazing food. I had the fish and chips (I chose to get cheesy grits instead of fries).I've never had grits before, but I'm in love with these! I also had a Gator bite and that was delicious! Before even trying thecheesy bites the server told me if I didn't like them he'd give me chips instead. Also traded out a drink my buddy didn't likefor a different one, free of charge. They clearly want the customer to be happy, and they succeeded. The atmosphere is alsoperfect! Beautiful views compliment the perfect cuisine! 6 STARS! Read more
First time in Pensacola, Googled best seafood near me and this popped up. And yes, it was really good. My server was very... pleasant and made me feel welcomed. I had the lunch version of fried shrimp and fish. Shrimp were fried just right.... wishedthere were more than 4! Can we talk about the fries? ?? them! They were hot and crispy, yet soft inside. I would come just forthem. Glad they served more than I could eat! Will definitely be back! Read more
