Beings from south louisiana nothing is usually authentic in my eyes. This place is legit. They have a excellent batter on their fried foods. I reccomend the fried platter. They have great oysters and the kids meals are excellent. My kids are very picky and for them to eat it all is saying something. Kids meals even come with a... More

If you like raw oysters, they do them right here. Prices are good and service is excellent. Indoor and outdoor seating. Get there before 6:30 or be prepared to wait. Its popular. The seafood is outstanding and I would definitely go again. Below the bar is another venue playing live music. Not sure if it is part of Peg Leg... More

Peg Leg's is an experience, not just a restaurant! It's always worth the wait (and there usually is one in season), but there's things to do while waiting like check out the boats, the gift shop, the playground, the bar! Food is consistently wonderful! My husband and I usually get the fisherman's platter which gives us a sample of several... More

Great food & atmosphere, waiter has been there a long time - even comped us a couple of beers! Went back a couple of nights later for dinner, then a nightcap at the outside bar - great place!

This place came highly recommended, so it was a must do while we were in pensacola beach. We had been told there would be a wait so we decided to go at 5 for dinner, thinking the early hour would help. We still had a 40 minute wait, but it was definitely worth it. There were 4 at our table... More

Our group of 8 was told it would be a 45 min wait...turned out to be only about 15 mins which was great! The food was very good! Our waiter was really great, never ran low on drinks! The kids loved the sand buckets that their food came in and a great keepsake! The only bad thing was that we... More

May well be the best all around restaurant on Pensacola Beach. Food is always good, prices better than most. Expect a wait. I've been there several times and it is always busy. That in itself tells you a lot about a restaurant. Extensive menu so there is always something to suit everyone's taste.

Fun atmosphere with live music. Definitely very touristy but also enjoyed by the locals who recommended it. Oyster sampler was delicious, but heavier than we expected for a late meal. Shrimp boil was very good. Bar staff were not very attentive despite us eating our meal at the bar and it not being too busy at the time. Also good... More

My friends and I are in Pensacola Beach for just one night so after reading several reviews I decided that this must be the place because all the reviews said "long wait" or "well worth the wait" in their comments. They were not kidding! I must admit we were getting discouraged and thinking ..."There is NO WAY this can be... More
