I hope we tipped an appropiate amount. Actually, it was a very nice place and had great food. Oh, and the service was great. There is an interesting sidelight. Once, a few years back, I was im Melbourne, Florida on a business trip(working on the, then JSF program). There was a Lobster Shanty in Melbourne. I went there and, sure enough, it was the same chain, a chain of two restaurants! | |

Country: | Speaking of restaurants Dave - remember McGuires in Pensacola??? I can't wait to get back there just to head over there and have some beer and steak... definitely one of the best places I think I may have ever been.

I don't think we have ever been to McGuires. We have been gone for 35 years and only go back for visits, and I think they came later. Our favorite places to eat there are Barnhill's in Warrington, Oyster Bar in Warrington (it may not be there anymore), and Triggers on Gulf Beach Hwy towards Perdido Key. Oh, yeah there is the Shrimp Basket on Gulf Beach just barely in Alabama. Being an original Pensacolan, I miss my shrimp, crab, mullet, and Southern food. Every time we go, it seems my brother has found a new great restaurant.
Oh, by the way, when you are in Pensacola, you should go to Lambert's in Foley, Al., about 40 minutes away. Lambert's is a famous restaurant picked by Travel Channel as the top place to pig out in the US. Also, it was picked as one of the ten best places to exit for good eat'n in a USA Today article. It has great food and is great fun! Look it up at "throwedrolls.com". By the way, they throw the rolls at you! They are wonderful.
