• Spanish • Pensacola

We pay tribute to the rugged individualism of Pensacola’s unique historic cultural significance, specifically its Spanish influence. Real and super-rustic, the kitchen presents Old World cookery at its roots, with all the layers peeled back. Brother Fox utilizes a live-fire approach to cooking almost everything that we serve, from coal-roasted oysters to Carne Asada for two, served with hot tortillas. Our beautiful outdoor seating sets the stage for a casual meet up with friends for a glass of wine from regions near and far, carafes of Bathtub Gin or Sangrias from the bar. Inside, the cuisine and casually elegant design are the embodiment of a “neighborhood” spot that caters to visitors and residents alike, for special occasions, celebrations, and some of the finest wood-fired cuisine in Pensacola. Imagine food with soul, both exciting and traditional, in a breezy setting, right in the heart of Old East Hill. We are open daily for Dinner at 5pm

    Had a great experience the first time we were there. This time was still good but not the same. the Service in Sister Hen is outstanding. The service this time in Bother Fox, not so much. The room was freezing and our Server forgot to tell the manager to turn the ac off since it was only 50 degrees outside. They were not busy although they were out of some of the menu items that we loved from a couple weeks ago. Special was just the fish of the day. The server did not know that we were in Sister Hen and had Hendricks Gin there and told us they were out in Brother Fox. Waited and they finally served Hendricks Gin. Our Server was very good and I realize they were just doing what they were told - so not their fault. Then we finally tried the Paella - it fell short of all the other items on the menu. The seafood was over cooked and the rice, although cooked - was not crusty as in Spain. So that was a disappointment. Their wine list is awesome and had a little of something for everyone. We will still go there since the appetizers and cocktails and Sister Hen are AMAZING - but just something to think about. Consistency is a big deal - and we are locals. Onward and Upward. We will be back for the experience as I mentioned before.
