There is 10 locations across the south United States. In a nutshell, the food is great but the service is lacking. I've eaten here over a half dozen times in the last year (and recently) in a varitey of settings- lunch, dinner, meeting room. overall this assessment stands true. I ate lunch at Zea Rotisserie and Grill recently with an associate, and we sat for over ten minutes until we were approached for a drink order.

That being said, they have some fantastic stuff on their menu. Their dry rub ribs are absolutely excellent and their salads are delicious. The atmosphere and ecor are clean and warm, with special touches everywhere. If you can get service, it is the perfect location and environment for a business lunch. The tabels are not too close and sound doesn't trave. In addition, ... ]]> http://pensacola-restaurant.info/2007/11/13/zea-rotisserie-and-grill/feed/ http://pensacola-restaurant.info/2007/11/13/eat-2/ http://pensacola-restaurant.info/2007/11/13/eat-2/#comments Tue, 13 Nov 2007 14:33:50 +0000 Seven http://pensacolarestaurant.wordpress.com/2007/11/13/eat-2/ http://pensacola-restaurant.info/2007/11/13/eat-2/feed/ http://pensacola-restaurant.info/2007/11/09/city-grocery/ http://pensacola-restaurant.info/2007/11/09/city-grocery/#comments Fri, 09 Nov 2007 15:29:00 +0000 Seven http://pensacolarestaurant.wordpress.com/2007/11/09/city-grocery/ Every city is full of deli restaurant counters, many of them outstanding. Pensacola is no different. The City Grocery is unique in its atmosphere, history, and location. Inside, it is completely urban, like any deli you find on a street corner in New York. It has an old feel to it, and for a reason. The City Grocery has been around for a very long time, since the antique building was built.

Prior to 2003, you could find articles on the stores shelves that seemed to date back to the seventies. What kept it in business was its neighborhood location, its outstanding deli ... ]]> http://pensacola-restaurant.info/2007/11/09/city-grocery/feed/ http://pensacola-restaurant.info/2007/11/09/red-barn-bbq/ http://pensacola-restaurant.info/2007/11/09/red-barn-bbq/#comments Fri, 09 Nov 2007 14:49:00 +0000 Seven http://pensacolarestaurant.wordpress.com/2007/11/09/red-barn-bbq/ Just west of the intersection of Avalon Blvd. on Highway 90, about 10 minutes from I-10,this BBQ joint is worth the drive to Milton from Pensacola. It is a country atmosphere with a focus on the barbeque, and oh my, is it ever. Regular specials provide all-you-can-eat opportunities, but you've got to have a big appetite to go for seconds. Everything about Red Barn's fare is tasty. Even the fries are perfect. They offer a selection of house sauces that hit every note just right.

I'm not sure that can write anything more to praise a BBQ place ...

It has become a weekly stop and we've even begun to develop a regular order. This restaurant has become additionally attractive as we have begun a carb-controlled diet.

Let's first address the atmosphere, which will further explain the "rough start" comment. The Global Grill is well recognized in Pensacola for its...um..."cooler than thou" attititude. To be sure, it is one of the coolest restaurants in Pensacola, with its hip "tapas" menu, artsy atmosphere, designed decor, and downtown location. The servers are noted for the same hip, artsy, pierced, model-like attitude. And while all this could lend itself to a patron's feeling of inclusion in a hip set, a restaurant can not survive by decorum alone. The Global Grill quickly became home to ... ]]> http://pensacola-restaurant.info/2007/10/31/the-global-grill/feed/ pensacola-restaurant-global-grill.jpg http://pensacola-restaurant.info/2007/10/03/francos-italian-restaurant/ http://pensacola-restaurant.info/2007/10/03/francos-italian-restaurant/#comments Wed, 03 Oct 2007 13:21:00 +0000 Seven http://pensacolarestaurant.wordpress.com/2007/10/03/francos-italian-restaurant/

There are people in Pensacola that swear upon Franco's as the end all of Italian food. They say that if you ever want REAL Italian food, not that commercial stuff you get at Tres Fratelli or Carrabbas (both excellent restaurants), Franco's is the place to go. 

Franco's is in a great location, downtown, admist powerhouses like MacGuires, Zeas, Outback, The Melting Pot, and Carrabbas. When you enter you know it is genuine Italian. There is bad art of Italian landscapes on the wall, and a table full of people talking Italian in the back... you know, mobster style. But either it is ...
