Juana’s Pagodas

We had the lunch special tuna salad on a toasted croissant for $ 6.99 with a side. This was by far the best tuna salad and lunch meal we have had in the area. The tuna was fresh and chunky. It had thinly chopped red and yellow pepper, red onion, capers and nuts in a light mayo/​sour cream base. There was more fish than sauce. The bread was yummy. Several sides including vegetables were offered but I elected the sweet potato the fries and hubby got the fries/​onion rings. This was a bright and cheerful restaurant, bakery and bar. We brought a slice of key lime pie home. Can’t wait to go back there for breakfast. The staff were very friendly!

The food we ordered was alright, but definitely nothing special. We came for lunch. I ordered the chicken pagoda sandwich. It was good chicken, seemed like it needed something else but I couldn’t figure out what. I ordered half fries and half onion rings with it. They have the BEST crinkle fries, crispy and not too greasy. The onion rings were perfect, the onions did not come out at all when you bite in. My mom ordered the nachos, the chili adds a bit of a nice kick. The problem with the nachos was everything was piled too high. So all the toppings were on the top instead of spread all over the chips (the bottom chips had no toppings– and the plate wasn’t wide enough to mix things up well. I have been here previously to the bar which has a fun atmosphere, this was the first time at the restaurant. Friendly but our drinks weren’t kept refilled, and it took a while to get the check. Loved sitting outside though, enough shade while still enjoying the beautiful weather!

We stopped in to this place because a favorite band we follow was playing. This place has been here for over 20 years. The have grown from one small pagoda to a string of buildings and various bars and eating venues. The venue was very well suited for a seaside bar. They have music on weekends and other special occasions. The place is a nice meeting place and a kick back fun venue. The staff made it an enjoyable and pleasurable experience.

Our server was really nice, but a very very slow server who got a lot of our order wrong. In my opinion the food we got was not worth the price they charged. I ordered the shrimp sandwich and it was the most pathetic excuse for a sandwich I’ve ever seen come from a restaurant. Literally a loaf of bread with 7 «seasoned» shrimp on it, that is all. They had one tiny slice of tomato on the side that didn’t even cover ¹⁄₃ of my bread and a piece of limp lettuce to accompany. The shrimp was tough to boot. And somehow they manage to charge $ 16 for that. They blamed the slow, poor service on the shock of warm weather towards the end of a season and the overload of tourists and lack of servers, but I saw plenty of servers roaming around. Not impressed with this place, the quality of food, or the service at all. Will probably not return.

We are visiting here for the first time and we picked this as the restaurant for our first meal, unfortunately we sat for over 10 minutes and we were never greeted by a server and they were not full. Even if we had to wait we, should have at least been greeted. The guy who seated us saw us leave and didn’t care enough to ask if everything was ok. Maybe it was because of our skin color. Nevertheless, no second chances to make a first impression!

3 star for food — 4^th for service. Loved it here! We were with 2 other couples and everyone loved their breakfast. Hubby and I split an omelet and had their in-​house raisin toast which was so good — we ended up taking a loaf home! Bloody Mary was super good and nice and spicy! Waitress was super friendly and didn’t try to hurry us since we all weren’t even sure if we were going to eat! So glad we did!

Great local spot with so much potential, yet they slack on originality in their over priced menu. Food is average. Best thing they had going for them was their crispy breakfast potatoes, but they got lazy & now serve you frozen bagged potatoes that I can buy from the grocery store. Will we be back? Yes, because there’s barely any other restaurants on the beach here in Navarre. We would love it if they revamped their menu though with some originality and creativity!

Live music and trash punch drinks. If you’re looking to cut loose, this bar could be a fun spot. The venue is large and very casual (you could wear your swimsuit, a hawaiian shirt, and flip flips, and it would be ok). Oh, and they have beach volleyball (with lights) if you like to play. I took home my plastic «rum» bucket as a souvenir. Band /​Music was «ok» — mostly cover songs and lots of people watching.

Lived on the beach about 3 years ago for a year and ate there only once b/​c it seems like a kinda young crowd. However, at that time the service was slow and the food mediocre. I am not saying that it is always like that b/​c I can’t judge the place on one vist… and I would totally try it again… esp at breakfast one day. I hear they have crazy good breakfast goodies.

The location is A+. The service at the restaurant side was great. The service in the bar areas was TERRIBLE. The food quality and quantity was «C». Great place for drinks, if you can get the bartenders to quit texting on their phone; otherwise, BYOB

Four star casual breakfast! A really great «beachy» spot to enjoy really good omelets. Also, amazing pancakes and french toast. If you’re carb loading this is the place to eat!
We sat outside under cover and it was perfect weather. Our server was so nice. The food did take a while, but we were in no hurry, so no problem. Mediocre coffee. If you’re a coffee snob, order juice or tea instead. That’s what I should have done.
They bake all their own breads and muffins. Amazing cinnamon raisin bread and cinnamon rolls!

This place was OK. I think I would have liked it better had we not been sitting at a high top with literally the most uncomfortable stools in the world that left major thigh/​butt imprints (I advise wearing knee length shorts!). The food was alright. I had a fish sandwich and half fries half onion rings. Even the fried fish is very fishy, so if you prefer mild fish I’d suggest a burger, however neither my mom nor my sister liked their burgers very much. I don’t think the fish was cod, which I am used to getting in fish sandwiches, it was a darker meat than cod. The fries were OK but the onion rings were really good. I feel like I’m complaining a lot but this place seems to be more about atmosphere than food. The service was perfectly fine though, our server was very nice and did a great job considering how many tables she had.

On the Sailors Grill side: Good food, a little too pricey, but you are paying beach prices/​taxes. Sometimes the service/​wait is a hit or miss. I wouldn’t go again on Mother’s Day as we waited over an hour an a half for our food. I like this place, however sometimes it’s great, sometimes not so much. Awesome location with a great view.
The bars: not super cheap drinks, however they have outdoor, indoor areas. A new area that’s kind of like a sports bar. My husband and I met at Juana’s 5 years ago, and we love going coming here. I love when they have live music and sometimes you can hear it on the island from a few miles down the road.

Pretty awesome sitting at a table for 20 minutes with not even a «someone will be right with you» about 4 waitresses wanted by 3 or 4 times. Oh well looked over priced for the crap they where serving anyway. We’ll take our money elsewhere, maybe we cab at least get a water within that time frame from someone else.

Good fresh seafood. Had fish finger & shrimp basket with fries & onion rings. Served in less than 10 minutes (2pm). Loved that we felt comfortable in our wet swimsuits & coverups. Can sit inside or out on deck.

We were recommended to go to another restaurant but we insisted that we wanted to try Juana’s Pangoda. When we sat down it took longer than expected to get drinks. After we placed our meal order it took nearly 25 minutes for our food to arrive. As we ate, the food was bland & the Pagoda fish sandwich had a covering or gills or skin attached to it. Nothing was spectacular. At best it was a step above cafeteria food, except for the vegetables. They were on par for a cafeteria. We had high expectations & needless to say we will not be going back. We wish we would have taken the initial recommendation and went to the other restaurant

Poor planning for today. Not enough staff. At least 10 empty tables and hour waits. Thought they were better than this.

This is the greatest! They have it all. The view, food, staff, cocktails and the beach. What a wonderful place! Oh and
Did I mention Juanawear? Beachwear at its finest!

This is definitely a great hangout spot for some good drinks and grub. The views are great, especially at sunset. We came as a party of six and enjoyed some awesome drinks while waiting 45 minutes for a dinner table downstairs. No complaints on the wait time! We were perfectly content drinking and ordered a couple appetizers.
The pizza appetizer was alright. It reminded me of a subway pizza honestly. Definitely not worth the price. The nachos were abysmal. They were a pile of chips solidified into a single mass by cheese and then smothered with picante sauce… Gross and hard to eat.
Overall 5 stars for atmosphere and drinks, but food needs improvement!
P. S. The Malibu rum bucket is the bomb!

Burgèr was typical, maybe a bit overdone as ordered. Beer in a mason jar and the place in general has a good friendly setting with character. Recommend visiting.
