Top 10 American food in Perdido Key, Florida, United States
Reviews on American food in Perdido Key, Florida, United States. Perdido Key, which means “Lost Key” in Spanish is a narrow strip of white beaches and aquamarine waters where beachcombing, fishing and sailing are ways of life not just recreation choices. Perdido Key’s unspoiled beaches are the island’s main attractions. Undulating wind built sand dunes are dotted with sea oats, bunch grass and beach grass. Venture to the eastern end of the island to the Gulf Islands National Seashore where swimming, snorkeling, fishing, boating, bird watching and hiking are popular pastimes.
Tee time, anyone? Two exceptional golf courses are easily accessible, the Perdido Bay Golf Club, a links style course, and Lost Key, a target-style design fashioned by Arnold Palmer designated as an Audubon Signature Cooperative Sanctuary golf course. Other preferred activities on Perdido Key include dolphin watching excursions, moonlight cruises and sailing tours.
Perdido Key is also known for its out-of-the-ordinary celebrations such as the New Year’s Polar Bear Dip and the Interstate Mullet Toss. For a non-stop celebration, drop by the legendary Flora-Bama Lounge on Perdido Key, a beachside oyster bar, beach bar and Gulf Coast cultural landmark.
Pensacola is located only 15 miles from Perdido Key offering a wealth of day trip options to attractions like Historic Pensacola Village, the National Museum of Naval Aviation, Pensacola Lighthouse and Museum and Fort Pickens, a fort built in 1834 and once occupied by federal troops during the Civil War.

Found this place on Trip Advisor. Said it was for mostly locals and had been here for years. Saw they had music , saw where Bluegrass Band played here regularly. Called to get more info and was told they would have two bands- one inside - one outside. Checked out menu online and liked what I saw , so we made plans to go. This is an older place and itâs a little dated - but it makes up for it in the food, wait staff and music. Everyone was happy with their meals and service- we had 9 people in our party. We stayed to listen to Bluegrass band and a trio of guys on outside courtyard - they were both great! Need a few more chairs and tables but if you want a place while in Perdido Key with great food, service and music this is the place! No gimmick tourist trap like Shrimp Basket! We will definitely go back- i want to try the fried mullet!

Well, when you wait too late to make reservations or get on the call ahead list at the places you wanted to go; thereâs this place with no wait. Most of the fried food that hit our table was over cooked, and dried out. I will say the blackened red fish dish was good. Other than that.......Meh..We are sorry that you are disappointed but appreciate your feedback. We are committed to providing you with a great experience and hope you give us another chance in the future.
8. Perdido Key Oyster Bar Restaurant

The ambiance is very nice but the food is not. Might consider having a drink there but the presentation is lacking and the taste uninspiring so don't order any food. It was a waste of money. Starting with the salad, which was obviously premade, had chunks of core in it. The "homemade" dressing tasted like diluted mustard so I didn't use it. The Seafood Platter was boiled not broiled which made the contents chewy, yuck! Here for our 43rd anniversary, what a disappointing experience. Don't waste your money, walk on the pier for free, look at the boats and water, then eat anywhere else but Perdido Key Oyster Bar Restaraunt.

Lunch menu (which does not appear to change) had mahi mahi on it--that was our choice. We had it grilled and it was quite good. Choice of 2 sides is also a nice feature. We decided on new potatoes (hard to mess these up) and one of the veggie choices for the day--black eye peas--which were great! Also came with 2 hush puppies that are very crispy on the outside and very light on the inside.Delightful lunch. Not crowded at all. Good service.

My wife and I had a very good Sunday luncheon here earlier today. The food was some of the best we've had in the area- and we're locals. Our waiter was a young man, obviously learning the ropes, and doing the best he could. We were pleased (he got an 18% tip). We saw the manager being not only hands-on by moving carts around and assisting others, but he took the time to ask those at each table if he could do anything. He responded to their requests immediately. We were impressed with both the food and the customer service here. We'll return.Thank you so much for the feedback. We hope to see you again soon.

We loved everything about this place! We sat outside, and even though it was hot and is off the main road, it was still breezy and laid back. Our service was quick and friendly. Drinks were good (though somewhat pricey), and the food was amazing - we have 5 in our party - had burgers and mahi tacos - all were amazing! Highly recommend this jewel

It saddens and frustrates me that I cannot give the Flora-Bama Yacht club a better rating. We have been eating here for years. The DESIGN of their dishes is very good, but the current execution of those dishes is sadly lacking. Iâll point out two examples from my meal tonight, the char-broiled oysters and the blackened triple tail fish dinner. The oysters have great flavor, but the cooked shells were stacked on a small platter, resulting in the grit from the one above contaminating the ones below. Do you like gritty oysters? The triple tail fish is a wonderful sweet fish and they do a good job cooking it at the FB Yacht club. Unfortunately, the sides on the plate are not up to par.When I first had this dish years ago, the dirty rice and grilled vegetables tasted freshly prepared. The individual grains of rice were discernible, there were tiny shrimp and other extra ingredients. Tonight, the dirty rice was almost a âmashâ rather than a rice dish and looked like it had been in a warming pot much of the day if not longer. I did spot one shrimp between the blobs on our two plates. The grilled vegetables of old are now âsteamedâ. No seasoning and absolutely no flavor. The Cajun toping has likewise lost its original luster.So, was this a good meal? Yes, some of it was tasty. Was it better than one of the local family buffet restaurants? Only for a couple of the items. Another indication of the current execution is the fact that my glass of wine came in a 12-ounce plastic cup.My impression is that the original menu and food delivery was established by an experienced chef. That person must have subsequently departed and a âcookâ was hired to prepare the menu using the same recipes.My meal years ago was worth the well over $100 tab for two, but tonight, not so much.Hi there, My apologies for the delayed response. We very much appreciate you taking the time to let us know about your recent visit. Please know that your comments have been passed to upper management for further review and action. On behalf of the Yacht Club, I want to sincerely apologize for the experience you all had. I'm not in the business of making excuses so I won't take up your time with that as it seems you may have caught us at a "not our best" moment. Can you tell me if a manager ever came to check on ya'll, or were you able to speak to a manager while there? Any additional info is helpful so that we may address this with the appropriate staff. Again, I extend our sincerest apologies for this occurrence, and I'd love to offer you a gift card to be used on your next visit if that's of any interest to you. Please feel free to email your comments and info to me at [email protected].
