Jubilee Oyster Bar & Grille

Just sat in here for 10 minutes with the bar tender not even acknowledging us. No host or hostess no waiter and no comment when we walked out. Off to Flounders where we had a great meal and experience earlier this week!

After asking the server for a few moments to think about what we want to drink and to look over the menu, we waited for about 15 – 20 mins (as we see our server socializing with friends constantly) until we asked the bartender to send a server to our table. A different server comes to our table and takes our drink and food order (1 margarita, 1 angry orchard & 12 oysters and a basket of fried grouper). She then brings 1 of our drinks and our server brings the other after a few minutes. My oysters come first, and I assume the grouper will come moments later.
No.
We then waited and waited for the basket of FRIED fish to come (which should only take 10 – 15 mins MAX). We notice a table of 14 people (who came after we ordered our food) get all of their food. I then ask a manager where our food was and she said she would look into it. Our server comes by and I order another margarita as we still wait for the fried grouper basket. He then comes back to ask if we ordered a martini and I told him no I ordered a margarita as he tries to take my oysters which I had not finished yet. I stopped him thankfully.
We continue to wait, my margarita finally comes (no salt or lime like the 1^st one had). Then we notice (after about 40 mins since we ordered our food) another table who seated and ordered after we had, get their food. I quickly finish my drink and we walk over to our server and tell them to forget the grouper & that we wanted to pay for the bill.
All the manager had to say was sorry, I expected to be compensated in some way shape or form but no. It took them a while to fix the bill and let us pay. Go figure.
I would not recommend this play to anyone, servers need to understand that every table matters. A 2 top table matter just as much as a 14 top table.

Tried to visit this restaurant for lunch. The place is CLOSED. And not closed for the winter. Closed for good. Phone number has even been disconnected.

So far one of the best meals I had in GS.
Pan fried grouper was EXCELLENT.
SERVICE was good and oysters were very good.

We tried to go to Jubilee Saturday night and found out when Alabama football is on, there is no food, just the bar. So, we came back on Thursday. We ate at the tables along the sound, a perfect spot for a few appetizers and drinks.
The drink special was 2 for 1 drafts.
We ordered the Tuna Poke and the Meat Pies. Tuna Poke was amazing. The flavors really stuck with you. The Meat Pies were delicious. We were expecting something the size of your palm, but they were just two-​bite pies. You get 5 in an order. I wish they had these in a meal portion size!
The serving staff was very good, friendly and helpful.

This restaurant is located at the inner bay of the Pensacola. They have inside and outside seating for romantic night. However, after September, it is too cold for the outside.
The restaurant is an open air inside or out. They have TV for the sport game. I have order the Tuna Poke and the Grouper Chardonnay. The food come out all right. The tuna poke is sesame oil, soy sauce, ginger and sesame seed. It was dice into cube and enable to be pickup by the accompany tortilla chip. This is the best appetizer they have and they are great to eat and chat.
The Grouper Chardonnay is fillet and lightly mixed in flour and pan seared. It topped with a sauté
of julienned carrots, purple onions, red & yellow bell peppers in cream sauce finished and served over angel hair pasta. This is average dish to me. I will prefer the grilled grouper.
The service is a bit off. The server keep forget what we have ask and delay bring out the food. It is a bit cold to sit outside. I would prefer paid the food with AC and control environment.

Grouper Jubilee sandwich was awesome! Maybe ask for like half the cheese though. The meat pies were my favorite. Key lime pie was nothing special

I used to live in the area and came back for a visit. Didn’t realize Jubilee had been closed for a while when I chose it for my husband and I to have dinner.
The staff was very friendly so that was a plus. They also have Sweet Water 420 on tap which was a HUGE plus for my husband since that’s a very hard beer to find.
However, the food was not that great. We had calamari, peel and eat shrimp and fish tacos.
The fish tacos were good and helped save the review. The chips were also good but they’re chips. Hard to really mess those up unless a restaurant charges $ for tacos and throws Tostitos on a plate with them.
The peel and eat were WAY over cooked, not cleaned well, and a couple tasted possibly spoiled so I’m really hoping that doesn’t turn out poorly for the rest of our vacation.
The calamari was ok; when it came out, it looked greasy because it had a high gloss shine. However, it turned out to have a sort of sweet glaze on it that was not mentioned on the menu. It wasn’t bad but I would have preferred without it and wouldn’t have ordered if I had known.
I did let the manager know about the shrimp and they took them off our bill and had the kitchen staff check them.
Best of luck with the relaunch of the Jubilee brand!

Ok.

Not sure I can write a review worthy of this place. I wanted oysters, so naturally my wife and I ended up here. Hostess was quick and courteous. We got a high table on the back deck overlooking the bay. Our waiter Anthony was wonderful, prompt, engaged us in conversation and really flexible (I tend to change my mind often).
But the food speaks for itself. It is, in a word, unbelievable. I had the raw oysters, served with cocktail and horseradish. My wife had the Mikeys soon to be famous charbroiled oysters, which were served w clarified butter and some French bread. Both were amazing. They do oysters right, no tiny oysters. We tried the gumbo. Coming from Alaska, I can’t really tell a proper gumbo from a knock off, but it was fanstastic.
We decided to keep eating and had the ceviche and fried oyster basket. It was obviously too much food and we couldn’t finish it all, but we wanted to try it all! If we could go back, we would have the snow crab platter, which we saw another table get and it looked amazing as well.
We got to meet the owner, because he was there working, which I really appreciate, as someone who works in the service industry. He’s out there working for his restaurant’s success.
We both had drinks, too: not much on draft, lots of bottled beers and a full liquor bar.
We really can’t recommend this place highly enough.

AMAZING!
We had a table right on the water, the food was delicious, the drinks were spot on & not to mention the prices were very reasonable!
Recommendations: Drinks… You have to try there World Famous Bushwacker!
Food… Best GROUPER BITES I have ever had — CHARGRILLED OYSTERS — all I have to say is WOW — They were so good I ordered another dozen. YELLOWFIN AHI — cooked to perfection! If you have not tried Jubilees yet you are missing out!

I have tried multiple items on the menu, and they are all great. Try the gumbo, best i have ever tasted. The queso fundido and meat pie apps are authentic, excellent and quick. The 2 grouper entrees are also both unreal!

The fish tacos are terrific and the gumbo is some of the best I have ever had. If you are a chorizo fan make sure to get the queso fundito, you will not be disappointed. Glad Jubilee is back on the Boardwalk!
