Always a blast! The spot is right on the Bay and it's absolutely stunning. They've got a playground for the kiddos and sand volleyball for the adults. The staff is super friendly and top-notch. The food and service? Always the best. Today, we kicked off with some awesome rolls and house-made honey butter. The Deviled Crab basket was a steal for $9.99 - four deviled crabs and fries! We also devoured the Spinach and Shrimp dip. My Yellowtail Sunrise sushi was a dream, perfectly put together. Huge portions, tasty drinks, gorgeous views, and fantastic service - it's a top family spot!

The food and drinks were excellent and our service was too. Amanda was our server and she was friendly, very polite and she checked on us a few times to make sure we were taken care of. We actually ate there twice while staying across the street on our vacation. I would highly recommend eating here.

Service was great. Complimentary bread and butter was great. Sushi and tuna poke bowl were both good. Shrimp and grits was very good. The pasta was ok. Once salt and pepper was added it was better. This was the least favorite item. The huge key lime pie was very good.

Flounder's was recommended by the hotel as "if you're only going to be here one night, eat at Founders." It is unpretentious and laid back. Our meals were excellent as was the service. The prices were reasonable. A wonderful way to end an already great day.

My 1st time at Flounders. 100 percent will NOT be my last time going. Absolutely positively a wonderful experience and atmosphere. It’s a huge restaurant, zero waiting whatsoever. The amazing server, Sara, was by far the best. The young lady is knowledgeable, attentive, friendly, happy, proud of her work, and just plain awesome! The food was delicious, delicious, delicious. I so glad we went to Flounders and had Sara to serve us so well. I urge everyone to to go to Flounders, ask for Sara, but I am certain any of the ladies or gentlemen can serve you well, but I would choose Sara!!! Take time to explore the restaurant and its decor, inside and out. A lot of good photo opportunities to show off on social media. Sara, you are the absolute best!!!!!

It was excellent! I had the shrimp scampi Alfredo in my husband had this seared tuna tacos. Scrumptious! Brenden was our waiter and she was awesome. I wish I could give six stars. We ordered the banana pudding to go because we were stuffed. Great place for any size of group!

Flounder’s hits the mark for a laid-back meal with a view. We stopped by on a Friday afternoon, and the atmosphere was relaxed but lively, perfect for unwinding without the weekend rush. The weather was finally gorgeous after several days of clouds and occasional rain, which made the outdoor seating and waterfront views even more enjoyable. The fish tacos were crispy, flavorful, and well-balanced, while the ribeye steak was grilled perfectly. Tender with solid seasoning. Shoutout to Trish, our server—she was upbeat, attentive, and made the whole experience smooth and fun. Even with a steady flow of guests, service was quick and friendly.

I’ve been to Pensacola 3 times and will be going back soon. This restaurant is always a must! Everything on the menu is absolutely delicious. The last thing I had were the shrimp tacos, and they were incredible! The slaw was flavorful and spicy, just the way I like it, and so filling. The virgin piña colada is also one of my favorites—so refreshing! The view is amazing as well. I highly recommend this place, 200%!
