I've been here many times, and it has become a family favorite. Regardless of what we order, and what time of day or meal, these folks are always friendly, and the food is prepared timely as well as very tasty. And if you or the kids like chocolate milkshakes, they are a great addition!

Nostalgic diner where both out of towners and locals are found. Meals at our table included gumbo, grilled catfish, and omelet. Everything was good. The blush wine vinaigrette was delicious. The gumbo could have been a little better in our opinion, but there are thousands of ways to make it. I asked for regular grits and got cheese grits, but I didn't bother telling server to replace it because I like grits both ways. Upon leaving, one of us got a shake to go to top off the meal. Satisfied with experience.

This was out first visit here. When we arrived we were greeted by the very friendly staff. We were told wait time would be 5 minutes. We noticed several empty booths and tables. While we waited we had 4 other families waiting as well. After about 15 minutes one of the other customers asked when they would be seated. They were told by the wait staff that it was up to the owner to decide when someone would be seated. While we continued to see tables open up no one was being seated. I went up and asked what the issue was and was told the same thing that it was up to the owner to decide. While we waited there were at one time 5 staff members lined up against the wall with nothing to do. We counted 6 empty tables. After 35 minutes of this nonsense we decided to go elsewhere. Sad when you have several empty tables with customers waiting and your philosophy is you will sit when I say so mentally. Won't waste my time there.

I'm very sorry this happened, Richard! This is incredibly out of the ordinary (in fact, the first time we've heard anything like this happening); especially since the owner doesn't decide when people are getting sat. We'll pass this along to him and get to the bottom of it. Please know that the next time you're here, it won't be happening again!

My (new to Pensacola) wanted some comfort food and picked the Cafe. I (transplanted local for years) told her I'd never been, but it has been around awhile, so I was hopeful. Won't be going back. I will give them some grace on the service, as they were somewhat busy, and I am in the hospitality business. My friend ordered hushpuppies prior to my arrival as a starter; they were good. I ordered clam chowder, but they were out. Our server came back and said they were preparing more, if I still wanted some. I'm thinking, hmmm, probably frozen so I was on the fence and was offered a taste, which I thought was really nice. I waited. And waited. The server came back to let us know our food would be out shortly and I asked if the soup was ready for a taste. She returned with a whole bowl. The food came out. My potato skins looked bad from the start; one bite confirmed they tasted as bad as they looked. My friend's meatloaf was dry, the cream corn was extremely sweet, and the mashed potatoes were fake. When asked the proverbial "how's everything tasting" I said, "not good" and was asked what was wrong. I was honest and said mine looked & tasted like 4-day old potatoes that were cut up and cheese added. I was told they come in like that, frozen. I'll leave that right there. My friend provided input, as well. We were offered replacement dishes to which we nicely declined. Thank goodness my soup was ok, with lots of pepper added. In the midst of everything, another order of hushpuppies magically appeared that we didn't ask for, so we declined them since we hadn't finished the first order. We were offered a free dessert that was "being prepared at the time" but we were so over it all and just wanted out. We weren't charged for my potato skins; but we were charged for soup I didn't order, a second order of hush puppies that we didn't ask for, and the full meatloaf dinner that my friend ate less than a quarter of.

We like to visit our local restaurants but sadly, some are better than others. Scenic 90 Cafe is the bottom of the barrel. July 26, 2023, we arrived a little after 10:30am. Seated quickly, a waitress came over, asked what we would like to drink and left for nearly 15 minutes. When she returned, she apologized for the wait and took our order. We waited and waited. Finally my wife says she needs to go to the restroom. She returned but we still waited. Breakfast arrived after a 40 minute wait. My waffle was cold. In a while, the waitress returned. When I complained my waffle was cold, she put her hand on it and stated it was not cold and walked away. Later, my wife told me she was in the bathroom with the waitress and she did not wash her hands when she left. My waffle was taken off the bill which now totaled $32.74. Tip was zero. As I complained to the manager, I watched our waitress duck out the back door; the manager begged us to come back again. Checked my credit card, charge showed up as $39.29; someone added an unauthorized 20% tip; the written receipt was no tip. Reviewers tend to be very critical but not in this case. We have recently been to this restaurant three times. Each time was worse until this fiasco.

Unpleasant! My husband went to pick up a to-go order and he said it was absolute chaos. They had only 1 register for all orders inside the restaurant and to-go orders. First the girl charged us for an order that wasn’t ours, and we had to wait for the manager. While waiting other guests were having to wait to pay. Then another girl started to ring up a guest and made a mistake also. The food was cold by then. Sandwiches were subpar and smashed. My cheesecake was to have strawberry sauce, but there wasn’t any with the desert; which had a peculiar taste. We won’t be going back!

Last time for us for awhile. Same inattentive slow waitress as 2 weeks ago. Bad service, overcharged by $10 and the meatloaf and gyro were all around not good. Manager(s) walked past us twice. Had to chase Madison down to get our bill. We should not have left any sort of tip. We were too tired to go over it all with her so we just payed and left. This place was always our go to for a decent meal. No more, at least for now.

A throwback diner with great food and service. Over time, we have built a relationship of friendly bantering with our favorite server (Kelly) and schedule our visits around her schedule. They have all day breakfast and daily hot plate specials. A great place to eat, relax, and enjoy an old fashion milk shake.

When Gus was here the Greek Omlette was the best ever. But Gus is a Master Chef. Now they have short order cooks who don't know how to cook an Omlette. They don't know the difference between scrambled eggs and an Omlette. Sad. To their credit my brunch was complimentary.

My son chose to go here when I was visiting. Great diner food. So many choices and great prices. They social distance everyone and the wait staff wear masks. Plenty of parking. Friendly service.

Ordered the special crab cakes Benedict. Dillynn delivered it promptly but it was HARD. Not hardly soft poached as a Benedict should be. So back to the kitchen for a do over. Dillynn delivers it again and the second time it is absolutely delicious. Dillynn is so apologetic that I actually believe her. She saves the day. Don't understand why the Chef can't get it right the first time. Getting it right the first time is an indicator of good quality. Does the manager track do overs? I wonder? Not 5 stars stars for sure. This is a 3 star review all because of Dillynn. She saved the day! Good job.

I'm really sorry there was an issue with your Benedict, but I'm so glad your server was there to save the day. :) We have a brand new kitchen manager so you can expect a perfectly poached egg the first time, next time (as it always should be). We hope we'll have the chance to cook it for you again!

We just ate here. Melissa was the best server! Get the All-American cheeseburger. It was huge and so tasty. I especially love the strawberry milkshake. My husband and I shared ours. I had whipped creme, chocolate syrup and a cherry on top. Was so surprised a real strawberry was at the bottom! We ate at Global Grill, a great fancy restaurant our first night, but this is also my style! Worth a visit if you're in the area!

We ordered for pick up. Got home and they gave us mozz sticks instead of potato skins. And mac and cheese instead of mash potatoes. For the price the quality was not worth it. A meal from mcdonalds would have been as satisfactory. We are new to area so we are trying near by places. We wont be going back here.

I hadn't been to this diner in years, but it has a new owner, Rod Bish (who has a great reputation), so my husband and I went for lunch. I had fried pork chops, steamed zucchini, steamed squash, and chicken noodle soup. My husband had meat loaf (the lunch special), green beans and broccoli. Everything was delicious! Servings were generous (2 pork chops). My pork chops were fork tender. I got a piece of chocolate/peanut butter pie for later, and it was fantastic! We'll be back!!
