We were traveling the GICW and saw that there was a Sea Turtle rescue center in Navarre. Checking the map also showed what looked like a fantastic little restaurant with docks and an anchorage. I called and talked with a very helpful and friendly lady who gave Kevins phone number and said he could give me more information. Kevin was super. He said there was a space available if I wanted it, I said yes and arrived in time for my wife and I to enjoy a delicious dinner. The staff, one and all, were very helpful, polite, considerate, and really seemed to enjoy their jobs. Juana's however is way more that just a beach eatery, it is a one stop place to have a blast! We went to the bar after dinner and enjoyed music bingo and cocktails, met wonderful people, and had a great time. Breakfast was as enjoyable as dinner, delicious and hearty. We would love to give Juana's more than 5 stars and wish we had been able to stay and enjoy all of the fun things Juana's offered like line dancing and karaoke nights or enjoy a game of beach volleyball!

What a find!!! Right on the beach with so much to watch as you sip on their fabulous assortment of specialty cocktails (I recommend the Key Lime) and munch on their delicious menu of mouth-watering bites (the blackened fish tacos are the best I've ever had)!! If you're vacationing nearby or just driving along the scenic route, this place is definitely worth stopping for!! Highly recommend!!

Great food, great service and FINALLY a fountain drink on vacation with the right mixture! My red snapper tacos were on point, tater tots cooked perfectly, and my family's burgers were spot on! Thank you guys for a great experience and great food! Our waitress was a joy to have, great attitude, upbeat, and never a empty glass!

Juana’s Pagodas is one of those places that just hits every time you go! The food is awesome — I had the bacon cheeseburger with tater tots, and it was cooked perfectly with crispy bacon and melted cheese. The hush puppies were spot on too — golden and crunchy on the outside, soft inside. I paired it with an Old Fashioned that was made exactly right — smooth, balanced, and refreshing with the orange and cherry. The atmosphere can’t be beat — laid back beach vibes, friendly service, and that classic Navarre feel. Whether you’re coming by boat, hanging out for drinks, or grabbing lunch, Juana’s is one of the best spots around. Highly recommend!

Wendy and my bartender were great! I got the Jerk Chicken Tacos and they were amazing. I ended up removing my jalapeños because I am more of a big baby when it came to the spice level. But removing them kept the amazing flavor of the pickled onions and jerk chicken. Highly recommend

⭐⭐⭐⭐ Scenic Spot with Beach Vibes, But Food Was Just Okay We visited Juana’s Pagodas in Navarre, FL with the entire family for a fun beach day—and although a surprise storm cut our outdoor time short , the staff was kind and let us hang out inside for a while, which we really appreciated! The atmosphere is definitely beachy and laid-back, with a great view and space for families to relax. The kids enjoyed their food, which is always a win! However, the food overall was just okay and a bit overpriced for the quality. I wouldn’t recommend the fish and chips—they were underwhelming and not worth the cost. I also ordered the tater tot nachos thinking they were vegetarian, but they came loaded with meat chili—a heads-up on the menu would’ve been helpful! Still, it’s a decent spot to escape the heat or dodge a storm, and the casual vibe makes it family-friendly. If you’re going more for the drinks and views, it might be worth it. Just don’t expect amazing food for the price.

We enjoy this spot when we're visiting Navarre. It has a great indoor/outdoor seating and places for the kids to play while you wait for your meal. The night we visited the parking lot was overflowing for a volleyball event they were hosting, but the restaurant wasn't too busy so we were seated right away. The server greeted us and was really attentive the entire time we were there. The only issue was the fried shrimp and fish we ordered tasted like it had been cooked in old grease. We also had a burger which was good. Overall the service and atmosphere will bring us back, but we will definitely be trying some different meals next time.

I had a late lunch at Juana's and enjoyed sitting at the indoor bar talking to the bartender. Ashley was friendly and helpful. They have a full bar as well of several local draft beers. There is also an outside bar that looks over the beach with volleyball courts and beautiful waters. I was talking to the outside bartender, and they do not serve food at the outside bar but you can order it to go from inside and bring it out yourself. I do not understand it but "that is what she said" haha. At any rate, I had the daily special, a local catch, fried mahi sandwich and a side of with onion rings. It was so hot that I had to wait a couple of minutes for it to cool! Cold beer and a delicious lunch couldn't ask for much better. I will definitely be going back to Juana's especially when the weather cools a bit.. Urban Cowgill July 2025
