The Grand Marlin Restaurant features a main dining area with a shucked to order oyster bar, exterior North Drop Bar overlooking the beautiful Santa Rosa Sound, and private meeting rooms. This Pensacola Beach restaurant, with an air of island casualness, serves the highest-quality cuisine, including the freshest local seafood featured on menus designed and printed daily to take advantage of the local bounty. The atmosphere creates a fusion of the Caribbean and the Pensacola Bay Area. Executive Chef Gregg McCarthy has a passion for great-tasting food and particularly loves working his culinary magic with fresh Gulf Coast seafood. Boaters and beach-goers feel comfortable in shorts and flip-flops at the oyster bar, in the dining room and at the North Drop Bar.

We pay tribute to the rugged individualism of Pensacola’s unique historic cultural significance, specifically its Spanish influence. Real and super-rustic, the kitchen presents Old World cookery at its roots, with all the layers peeled back. Brother Fox utilizes a live-fire approach to cooking almost everything that we serve, from coal-roasted oysters to Carne Asada for two, served with hot tortillas. Our beautiful outdoor seating sets the stage for a casual meet up with friends for a glass of wine from regions near and far, carafes of Bathtub Gin or Sangrias from the bar. Inside, the cuisine and casually elegant design are the embodiment of a “neighborhood” spot that caters to visitors and residents alike, for special occasions, celebrations, and some of the finest wood-fired cuisine in Pensacola. Imagine food with soul, both exciting and traditional, in a breezy setting, right in the heart of Old East Hill. We are open daily for Dinner at 5pm

    Went for a date night and have never been before. Restaurant is large but considering the size it’s not overly loud. Waitress was amazing, made great suggestions. Our food was also amazing! We had the smoke fish dip, grilled salmon with sweet potato hash and the grill tuna with whipped potatoes. Both of our plates were completely empty when we were done. Prices are comparable to any higher end restaurant, especially out at the beach with seafood. Definitely recommend and will go again.

    We thoroughly enjoyed our Valentine’s dinner at Brother Fox last night. I’ve been wanting to come here since they opened and we finally had the opportunity and I’m so happy that we did. The food is absolutely amazing and was above and beyond any expectation I had. We are going to make more of an effort to come to Brother Fox and Sister Hen in the future. Thank you Chef and team for sharing your amazing talent with Pensacola!

    It was another perfect night at Jackson’s in Pensacola! My husband and I had an early Valentine’s dinner and were lucky to get Matt, who was full of natural energy and so helpful, as our server. We had delicious steaks, mashed potatoes and shared a Caesar salad, but my favorite was the bread and butter and the dessert—I can’t remember the name, but it had toffee and Chantilly cream—but it was truly heavenly—thanks to Matt’s recommendation! Jackson’s is one of our favorites, and you must try if you are in Pensacola.

    Wonderful early Valentines dinner here. I had the coconut sea bass which was the best I’ve experienced; he had the pork chop and enjoyed that. Attentive staff, beautiful restaurant, great location. Good music but it was a little too loud for me, considering the serene atmosphere. Wonderful place for a special date.
