Great restaurant located next to the toll bridge area in Pensacola Beach. Indoor / Outdoor seating. They serve up fantastic fresh seafood, casual options, delicious cocktails (full bar), and brunch that cannot be beat! A bit more upscale but still casual. I will need reservations on the weekends, so plan on calling ahead. We highly recommend it!

One of Pensacola's most south-after restaurant experiences. For over 30 years, McGuires has consistently served up delicious steaks, seafood, and everything in between. Reservations are highly recommended as there is always a long wait without them. Go to their website to "join the waitlist" which will hold your place and typically you'll have about 1/2 and hour to 45 minutes from the moment you join online. We highly recommend it!
