“ We had a great dinner here. Shrimp & Grits - 19.75. The shrimp & grits were excellent. The grits were cheesy enough to add flavor but not so much that they felt heavy or greasy. The sausage and shrimp added bursts of savory flavor with each bite. Highly recommended. Seafood Gumbo (bowl only) - 11.50. Served piping hot with an excellent seafood flavor that blended together perfectly. It was very salty but also very tasty. If it was less salty, it would be a perfect bowl of gumbo. Still, I’d get it again. Fried Mullet Dinner - 15.95. The fried mullet was good. It had a fine, stringier flesh with some chew compared to cod or even catfish. The flavor was good—not muddy like some catfish can be. It was served as individual filet portions and a separate backbone. They were all breaded in cornmeal and deep-fried. Served with tartar sauce and a lemon wedge. After eating the fillets, I ate the backbone by removing a sliver of the edge (which had small pin bones) and pulling the meat off the spine. Hushpuppies (side). Amazing. They had a thin, crispy crust and a soft, fluffy interior with bits of sweet corn kernels and red peppers. They tasted like seafood and were wonderful overall. Fried Okra (side). Tender and crunchy with no stringiness. Mixed Vegetables (additional side) - 3.25. Likely boiled or steamed. The cauliflower was mushy and bland but went great with the salty gumbo. The broccoli stems at the bottom of the bowl had more flavor, seasoned with lemon pepper. Overall, everything tasted good, and the variety of flavors worked well together. I would definitely jump at the opportunity to eat here again. Note: They charge an additional 4% if you use a credit card. ”
“ Such a lovely place. Very elegant decor with candles on the table very nice. Their menu had some great options. Shrimp are big. Food is tasty and very attentive service ”
“ Cute place and the food was delicious. Went during lunch so it was somewhat busy and our food took a while to come out. The table next to ours got there after we did but got their food before we did. Other than that it was an overall good experience. ”
“ Great place that I found thru internet search while spending time in Pensacola. Great service and high quality food. Atmosphere felt like being in someone’s house eating by the kitchen (in a good way!). Will definitely be there again if I visit Pensacola some other time. ”
“ Relaxed atmosphere, great service & accommodation, very well portioned relative to pricing (especially compared w/ other places where we ordered “cups” of similar items w same price in the appetizer section). Highly recommend the Bayou Alfredo! ”
“ The fishing hole is not your average hole in the wall resteraunt! The minute you step in you know you are in for a treat! The atmosphere is that of a five star resteraunt. Dress up or dress down you'll fit in. The food is to die for. All cuisine is seafood mainly. It comes out piping hot and the first bite makes your mouth water! The homemade sides like cheesy grits and hushpuppies will leave you wanting more. They do also sell wines and beers to go with if your down for a date night or lunch with the guys or gals. Give the Fishing Hole a try you won't be disappointed!! ”
“ I've passed by this restaurant for years I literally go to Divas 1 doors down for my toes and dollar tree in the shopping center atleast twice a week. The service was amazing but the food was odd the charts. Just like fresh, hot and seasoned. As far as ambiance- the walls need to be cleans and baseboards scrubbed. I couldn't add my pictures ”
“ Excellent food! And the staff are super nice. Megan and Sabrina made my dinner very nice tonight. I will definitely be back. ”
