Awesome Food,But Wish Their Prices Weren't So Outlandish For Normal Food.. I went here because my daughter wanted a BBQ pork sandwich. We got in and got a great waitress who did a good job of helping us. I was disappointed because all the prices jacked up double on the weekend. My daughter had to order everything separately. She is only 14,so I hated to have to spend $10 on a lunch BBQ lunch plate with fries,but that is what it was. I got a loaded baked potato and it was great if I could have only paid the normal price they have of $6.99,but if you want beef or pork instead of chili they jack it up $3 more dollars. At any other restaurant it would have only been an extra $1. So I ended up paying $9.99 for a pork baked potato. I just think that $24 is too expensive for an average lunch for 2 people at an average run restaurant. I would pay that at Margaritaville. Good food,just be prepared to punch a $10 plate for each person no matter the age.
Great place with good weather. Had lunch with my wife. outside patio is awesome view of ocean. portions and food were great. they have live music will definitely stop by when they have that. prices for lunch special were good too.
My husband and I ate here on a Friday night. The sunset on the back deck was amazing. The bar was nice and played good music. It was kinda dark outside once the sun went down and couldn't really see our food, but I got the seafood gumbo. It was pretty good, husband got BBQ pork. Great portions and he loved it. My margarita was really good. I would go again.
Pretty good meal. I would ask for the sauce on the side. Great atmosphere! Friendly, efficient waitress.
Always Great. Love this place! Everytime we eat here we never leave hungry! Huge portions, friendly staff, LOVE the new location. Another commenter mentioned a $78 steak, don't let them fool you, its a 48oz Poterhouse! They have something for everyone and my favorite bbq is the beef sandwich, Amazing!!!!
We enjoyed a great dinner on the deck with a beautiful sunset and view of Navarre Beach. Food good as always, friendly attentive service. A favorite of locals and now our seasonal guests as well.
Had the baba burger, boiled peanuts and onion rings. Burger huge and juicy, peanuts amazing as well a rings. Reese the bartender took good care of us. Loved the atmosphere, great view of the intercoastal with all the pelicans cruising by.
Some people know BBQ, some don't. In this part of the South, people seem to prefer moist bbq that has the texture of something cooked in a slow cooker (crock-pot). To Texans, that might be good, but it's not BBQ. BBQ is supposed to be smoked, low and slow. This will tend to dry the meat out a bit, but the smoky character is cooked into the meat. The charred ends of the brisket or pork shoulder are the most prized parts to us. I had the pork at East River, and it was excellant. A bit dry, but with great smoke flavor. Try the baked potato with pork and jalapenos. If you are ever in the Daphne, AL area try Mike's Smokehouse. Best BBQ east of Austin.
Yummy. Ive been there a couple of times and have loved everything. Coming from Texas, BBQ has to be done right and this place nailed it!
I like this place. Yea, not the best BBQ in the world. Maybe not even the best I the nw fl area. But it is still good and sometimes some items are very good. I dont ever find one perfect place and dine there exclusively i love to try new places and appreciate different restaurants for their own special nuances. I guess it's the local charm Here. We like their wings, burgers, beans,BBQ pork and they make a mean Long Island Tea. And don't miss trying the boiled peanuts. We have most always had good service and we will continue to frequent our little local BBQ joint. Just try it and lighten up a little bit. I'll bet you will enjoy the experience.
Good BBQ.. Probably one of the best around Pensacola, with the exception of Mike's Smokehouse over in Daphne at the old Cafe Malbis location.
Some of the best BBQ I've ever had!! Great service and selection of beer. Love this place, everyone should try it!
Best BBQ in Navarre. This place is your typical "hole in the wall" and is more of a bar than a restaurant, but the BBQ is EXCELLENT! I also am a big fan of their coleslaw, which consists of wide ribbons of cabbage in a very nice thin but still creamy sauce. They smoke their meats in a huge brick fireplace/oven right there inside the restaurant. Their beans are also excellent and portions are big. LOVE IT!
Great dinner last night. Our server Alexis was very attentive and did a great job with our table of 4. The food was fresh, hot and tasty! Highly recommend the Big Country Cheesesteak sandwich. Delicious! Affordable for the whole family. Live Music was good too. The view is AMAZING! Overlooks the water and Navarre bridge. You can eat inside or outside. Overall a really good experience. Thank you!
Had a great time at the East River Smokehouse. Prices weren't too expensive, and the food was good! I particularly enjoyed the BBQ sauce with a bit of spice to it, and the Blackened Chicken Tacos. Atmosphere was great, and the staff was very friendly! Will definitely be visiting again!
We have previously enjoyed this restaurant and have been looking forward to visiting again; however, recent negative reviews had us worried. Today, we enjoyed the breeze, the view, great service, and delicious food. Yes, there is a 4% charge added when using a credit card, but apparently, a lot of places are doing that. Either bring cash or prepare for a small additional charge. No problem.
Walked here from nextdoor, we are camped at Santa Rosa RV Park for Tuesday lunch. Took a couple minutes to get seated but we were greeted and seated at a nice table. First time here, love the decor! They have multiple tvs going so there is stuff to look at everywhere! Food came, was hot and SO good. We got the pulled pork lunch plate and the beef brisket lunch plate. Lots of meat! Their BBQ sauce is really good, a hint smoke and some sweet, mmm. We enjoyed lunch, staff was friendly and helpful, and even had a chat with a couple other tables, a happy environment🙂 Definitely would come back again!
East River Smokehouse is by far one of the best restaurants we ate at in Navarre. They sat us outside on their back patio next to the sound. It was amazing! Our waitress took on 15 of us. She did an amazing job! Was super friendly and responsive to our needs. I ordered the corned beef sandwich with a side of fries and an unsweetened tea. Love that they serve their drinks in big Mason jars! The sandwich was delicious and definitely could of ate more fries! Overall, I would highly recommend this place!
Cool little spot right off Navarre Pkwy, I've drove past this spot enty of times and decided to stop in and try the place out. The apps were great, we had fried mushrooms and jalapeño poppers, both highly recommend and true to form. My wife had a brisket rib combo, we are big on sauce on meats but this was decent, my son had the chili dog which was huge. I had the prime rib. And aside from the fat content it was really good. . A family of 6, we spent $150, and it was a decent meal.
This place had mix reviews but we decided to give it a try. Its located right before the bridge going across the bay to Navarro beach. Our kids wanted to eat outside on the deck so we picked that, but if you rather they do have dining inside. Had potato skins for an appetizer which I would give them a 4. Little less potato would be a 5. I had country fried steak with smashed taters. I included the other dishes that my wife and daughters had. We all had there sweet tea and it was great. Hope this review help you our.
this place is perfect. both inside and outside. has cold beer. drinks and the food is very good. I recommend the shrimp chicarrones.
a spectacular sight. let me enjoy a perfect sunset! good location
The East River smokehouse was amazing. The food was awesome and my family enjoyed every bite. The staff gave great service and was attentive to our needs as a large family. The place is in a great location with great views of the pass. I would recommend eating here on your next trip to Navarre .
The food was delicious and our server Shannon was amazing! She was very helpful and answered all of our questions and helped make suggestions for us! Even though we were the last table of the night she treated us like we were the very first one. Definitely recommend stopping in to see her and the crew for a great meal.
Food was yummy. Seemed like waitress kinda forgot about us after delivering our food to the table. Great views from back deck/patio.
The view is amazing here, plenty of outdoor seating. The food was delicious, try the Porky's pork balls! The drinks were very good, too, once we finally got them. The bartender was "missing" and is the main reason I'm giving 4 stars instead of 5. Would definitely try the place again.
Delicious food. I had the ribs and they were good. The potato salad stole the show though, seasoned perfectly. The wait staff was also so kind and accommodating, they were understaffed but working very hard and made the time we were there good. Great atmosphere with excellent music!!!
