Shannon's Seafood Kitchen: Fresh Seafood & Comforting Po' Boys in Pensacola

The service was excellent and the staff made me and my sis feel like family from the moment we walked in. The food was seasoned and DELICIOUS. Portions were generous and i was able to get full and bring a nice plate home. I highly recommend the mullet and flounder. They gave me a free dessert for father's day too!

First time eating here. The mullet, oysters, okra, and hush puppies were really good. cheese grits and collards kinda bland, Sadly the grouper was not cleaned right and tasted somewhat mushy and fishy. That won't stop me from visiting again. Decent portion as well. It was a bit difficult to breathe, maybe kitchen ventilation not strong enough.

The food and service here are fabulous. We had a fried shrimp dinner and a combination fried shrimp and oyster dinner and both were absolutely delicious. This will be my go to over all the seafood restaurants around. This gets a 6 out of 5 star review for the food, service and atmosphere. We had Donna as our server but Denise can help you just as good!!! Try it, you won't regret it!!!!

It was my first time visiting Shannon‘s. I was greeted as soon as I walked in the door and was asked if It was my first visit. I told the lady yes, and she let me know how things were done. The Food came out in a timely manner and was delicious. The portions are generous ..this is a hidden gem.. Both of the ladies that were there , were friendly and very helpful with whatever we needed.. I live in Pace and I will be back. My sister and brother-in-law live in Loxley and they will be back . It may seem a little far for some, but it would be worth your while to try this place…

While on vacation in Pensacola, my son and I finally got to try a spot I had saved on my Google list—and it did not disappoint! We both ordered the Ultimate Seafood Platter, which came with fried catfish, shrimp, fried soft shell carb, okra, and coleslaw. My son swapped his okra for fries, and everything was hot, fresh, and perfectly seasoned. We decided to dine in since we were starving and the place was quiet with empty tables. What really stood out—beyond the delicious food—was the care and pride the cook put into our meal. She gave my son an extra catfish filet because one of his had broken in half. It might seem like a small gesture, but it spoke volumes about the pride she takes in what she serves. We’ll be back in town this fall, and this place is definitely on our list to visit again. Highly recommend!

First time here. I WILL BE BACK. This place is very casual no need to dress up. I will recommend the catfish, crab cake bites. Based on my meal, they can rock in the kitchen. Everything was clean and orderly. Staff was friendly and knowledgeable about the restaurant. As I say... Go there. I came back...it's STILL GREAT. Service was great, cooking was awesome go there you will be happy.

Dropped in here after searching for a seafood joint close to my niece’s neighborhood. What.a.find. This is a no-nonsense, hidden gem tucked into a strip mall, quietly serving fantastic food. The vibe is simple - clearly the focus is on the food, that’s fine by me. The folks behind the counter and in the kitchen were genuinely warm and friendly. Our food came out quickly, and my niece and I were legit excited when it arrived. Like, pause-the-conversation, eyes-light-up excited. We split everything we ordered (why don’t more people do this?) and then proceeded to eat in that so slow yummy way - eye closed and long “mmm”s - it was like a religious experience. The surf and turf fries *chefs kiss!* - the beef gravy was rich and out of this world, it stole the show. Mains: both had Mahi Mahi - mine grilled; hers fried. Both were fresh, perfectly cooked, and absolutely delish This isn’t a flashy spot, if you’re looking to be “seen”, go somewhere else. If you want great seafood, no hype - paper plates and plastic utensils - and you (like me) enjoy the quiet thrill of finding a tucked away place you’ll immediately want to tell people about—this is it

If you're looking for a seafood restaurant that truly excels, look no further than Shannon's Seafood Kitchen. My recent visit was nothing short of spectacular—the food was out of this world! Every dish we ordered was not only abundant in portion but also packed with flavors that pleased the palate. The highlight of our meal was undoubtedly the Big Daddy Po Boy. It was generously filled with perfectly fried shrimp, fried oysters, crunchy lettuce, and a deliciously homemade spicy mayo sauce that elevated the dish to new heights. I also couldn't get enough of the gumbo soup; it was rich, hearty, and bursting with the essence of the sea, offering a wonderful blend of spices and fresh ingredients that warmed the soul. Adding to this amazing food experience was our friendly server, who made the dining experience even more enjoyable. She was attentive, knowledgeable, and provided fantastic recommendations that guided us to some of the best choices on the menu. I wholeheartedly recommend Shannon's Seafood Kitchen to anyone looking to indulge in delectable seafood. Don’t miss the Big Daddy Po Boy and the gumbo soup—they're must-tries! You won't be disappointed!
