Five Sisters Blues Cafe – Pensacola, Florida
Posted in Pensacola on March 23, 2011
On Friday night, my husband and I went on a much needed date night. We wanted to try a restaurant we hadn’t been to yet so we chose Five Sisters Blues Cafe located in the downtown area. When you step into Five Sisters it will remind you of dining in New Orleans or another city equally influenced by blues and jazz music. The food is true Southern Soul Food but there is some lighter fare available as well. Five Sisters Blues Cafe will be open one year in May. It is named in honor of his mother and her four sisters.
I originally planned on getting a salad but when I spotted the shrimp po’ boy, pineapple coleslaw and macaroni and cheese, I had to go with that. My husband got the chicken tender basket. When the meal was served, my husband took one bite of chicken and then cut off a piece for me.
“You have got to try this.”
“No…that is ok. I have plenty to eat.”
“No, really. You have to try this.”
My husband knows that I would eat homecooked Southern fried chicken every day if it came without calories or fat. I took that bite and could not believe how delicious it was. This wasn’t your typical chicken tender basket from a chain restaurant. This was juicy, perfectly seasoned, melt in your mouth fried chicken.
Though we ate at Five Sisters during our date night, we did see plenty of families eating as well. If you are in the Pensacola area, I hope you decide to stop by Five Sisters Blues Cafe for lunch or dinner (or a good ole Sunday brunch). Hopefully, you won’t be disappointed.
