Jaco's Bayfront Grille - Pensacola

So nice and yummy. 4th of July and we can't wait to return to enjoy everything they have.

I wanted to love this place, the atmosphere and service was amazing but the food fell a little short. The appetizer shrimp dip was delicious but the chips were so stale, we got fresh chips later that made the dish edible. Our main meals looked great but one dish had rice that was uncooked and came with barely any seafood. The fresh catch flounder and Tuna was great though. Overall just not what we expected for the price.

Outstanding. Situated right on the water overlooking a small marina, outside dining offers a nice end of day view as the sun sets. Our server, Rachel, was absolutely wonderful and gave fantastic recommendations for cocktails, appetizers, and our entrees. My wife and I ordered the calamari trio, which was perfectly cooked and had a different but excellent choice in dipping sauces. She ordered the Bella Mushroom Stack and absolutely raved about it. I absolutely loved the Seafood Acadian. The shrimp and chicken were perfectly cooked, and the crawfish étouffée was deliciously seasoned.

If you sit outside beware of the scorching sun! Definitely could use some shades to optionally pull down for those seeking reprieve from the rays. Food was good but they did not have A1 steak sauce which is a staple but instead had their own house version which was okay but definitely should give options especially for those that do not eat seafood but go to seafood restaurants because everyone they are traveling with does.

Stopped in for late lunch during the Blue Angels performance. Fast, plentiful seating and great service: so friendly and attentive. Hubby had the grouper sandwich special which was delicious, and I had the guac and salsa with chips. My only issue is the housemade flour tortilla chips weren't salted after they were fried, but overall the dish was still fresh and tasty. Can't wait to be back over this way again to try more of their menu.
