“Where should I eat in Pensacola?”
That’s the burning question everyone seems to have for me after learning I’ve been a dining reporter for the Pensacola News Journal since 2021.
While people always crave a recommendation, it’s almost impossible to answer. Do you want to try an old-school diner that’s cozy and nostalgic or a sandy tiki bar that makes you feel like you’re on island-time? A hole-in-the-wall only the locals know or somewhere so iconic-Pensacola that people will say you haven’t really visited here if you haven’t tried it?
There’s such a beautiful mix of timeless places and exciting new start-ups in Pensacola’s dining scene right now, and we believe there’s room and reason to honor them all.
Our new free Pensacola Eats newsletter will put a spotlight on all the need-to-know information regarding Pensacola’s dining scene to give you a more complete answer to the question: “Where should I eat in Pensacola?”
Since my first article written for PNJ that featured Native Café’s expansion plans in 2021, I’ve boarded the back of countless food trucks on hot and sweaty summer days to interview the owners. I’ve also been seated at glamorous restaurant debut dinner tables for soft openings as the owners nervously work the room.
