Tiffany's
Casino Beach Boardwalk, Pensacola Beach, Florida
(904) 832-3663
Burgers/Snacks
After a heroic struggle to avoid adverse condemnation by the county, Tiffany's is now the only burger joint left directly on the beach. Tiffany herself has been indisposed for a few years by the local constabulary in an unrelated case, but her mother bravely carries on.

MODERATE
Boy on a Dolphin
400 Pensacola Beach Blvd., Pensacola Beach, Florida
904/932-7954
Seafood/Steaks/American
Excellent Greek fare in pleasant surroundings overlooking Santa Rosa Sound. Great menu, good wines, reasonable prices. For an appetizer, try the taramousalata (smoked salmon dip, Greek style). Tell Dimitri we sent you. Outdoor deck.

Capt. Jack's Seafood Shack
63 Via de Luna, Pensacola Beach, Florida
904/932-6744
Seafood/American

904/ 932-3525.
Seafood/Eclectic.
Mon.-Sat. 11 a.m.-late; Sun. brunch at 10 a.m.
Upstairs, somewhat fancy and rather pricey. Downstairs, the dress is casual, the food and drink are just as good, there's good music in the summer, and your neighbors are the better for it. A large outdoor deck lies at the foot of one of the last sand dunes left on Pensacola Beach. Children's menu.

Chan's Market Cafe (& Liquor/Wine Store)
16 Via de Luna, Pensacola Beach, Florida
(904) 932-8454.

Jubilee Beachside Cafe
Quietwater Beach Boardwalk
(downstairs from the Jubilee Restaurant), Pensacola Beach, Florida
904/ 934-3108.
Cafe/American.
Casual Open daily for lunch & dinner.
Another trough on the tourist trail. Upstairs is fancy, downstairs casual. Both are over-priced. Sundays, a champagne brunch is available.

The Marina Restaurant
715 Pensacola Beach Blvd., Pensacola Beach, Florida
(904) 932-5700
Seafood/Family
After four owners in as many years struggled with the ridiculously inconvenient floor plan, the Marina closed for good on December 1. It is scheduled to reopen in the Spring of '98 as an English steak and ale house,but you'll still need to be fit and sober for the long climb to the second and third stories where the fun begins. Bring your own crampons.

Pegleg Pete's Oyster Bar
1010 Ft. Pickens Rd., Pensacola Beach, Florida
904/932-4139
Seafood/Raw Bar/Cajun
Live music

Sun Ray Taco Shop
400 Quietwater Beach Boardwalk, Pensacola Beach, Florida
904/932-0118
Mexican/American
Good Tex-Mex, imported beers, and Margueritas. Prices are reasonable, service is pleasant. The best blues band in the Panhandle hangs out here five night a week. Kids have their own menu and TV screen.

EXPENSIVE
Jubilee Restaurant
Quietwater Beach Boardwalk
(upstairs from the Jubilee Beachside Cafe), Pensacola Beach, Florida
904/934-3108.
Fine Dining/Floribbean

Antique clocks and suits of armor grace the walls. There's nothing old fashioned about the prices, though. See above, as well.
