I highly recommend this hidden local seafood restaurant. No frills but excellent, fresh seafood. You have to walk through Maria's Fresh Seafood Market - no fishy smell- to get to the stainless topped tables to dine in at Maria's Olde East Hill Grill. Delicious, fresh, non-greasy, generous portions!

Moved to the Pensacola area not long ago and saw Maria's Fresh Seafood while out scouting the area. it had been a long time since we had fresh crab legs so we stopped in. Asked to see the crab legs, looked pretty good. Problem was it was a small bag so we asked for more clusters. They bagged them up. As we were walking out I told me husband it didn't feel like 2 pounds. Got a couple clusters that only had 2 or 3 legs. When we got home I opened the bag to find some poor looking legs. They were very small, which again made me wonder if we got 2 pounds. I don't judge a book by the cover so I steamed them. I have to say besides the time we bought some in a grocery store that smelled like bleach (we returned them) these were the WORST crab legs we've ever had. Absolutely NO TASTE and I used Old Bay to steam them. They were dry and the legs had barely any meat, what you could get out just flaked out. We purchased some frozen ones from a local store that were the best we've had in a long time and we paid much less and seemed to get a lot more for that 2 pounds. We will not be returning. The seafood is NOT fresh.

Some things ok, some horrible. I've never eaten a more overcooked gumbo in my life. Nearly flavorless with seafood that's been cooked to the point of baby food consistency. I do not like that they don't devein their shrimp and the poor boys. Fried mullet is okay.

Great Food. Sweet Staff. Fresh Seafood. Small restaurant but worth it if you have wait. The market always has the freshest seafood to take home & cook!

Good place to eat. Food is fresh and priced good. Had Blackend grouper sandwich with onion rings. It was all great. The onion rings are homemade. Not frozen. Of course, the grouper sandwich was awesome.

Always the best. Far better than Joe Patti's. Not to mention, Maria's services most of the restaurants in Pensacola. That says a lot!

It was ok but nearly everything was fried. A shame for the fresh fish. No real low carb options.

This place was awesome!! The sea food was all fresh and ready to go! The employees were great, attentive to my needs, being this was my 1st visit, very polite. My daughter lives not too far from there, we will be going back! I went through a door into the adjoining restaurant also Maria's. The food that was being brought out was fresh looking, hot with steam coming off. The patrons looked like they were enjoying their food, and the place was packed with people waiting to be seated. This was at lunchtime on a Wed.We will be back!

The folks at Maria's are super! Everytime I am in Pensacola I stop by to get the freshest seafood to bring back to Tennessee. They are always so helpful and make sure that I get what I want, offer to box ot and ice it, they go above and beyond. They will always have my business when I need fresh seafood when I am in Pensacola! Thanks for all you do for your customers!

Staff was very helpful, and quick. The seafood was very very fresh. They had shrimp, crab legs, and live crabs, as well as an array of fresh fish. Their live crabs were fiesty!

Love getting fresh fish for a great price! However, one of the ladies working there was very rude when I had questions. I'd still return because the quality is good but the customer service is lacking.

Horrible service. The few workers that actually helped people weren't calling numbers. I waited a long time just to order some steam shrimp. Other Workers were more focused on playing around with each other than helping customers. I'll just stick to Joe Patti's plain and simple.
