About Boathouse Oyster Bar

Boathouse Oyster Bar offers a small seafood menu with a focus on oysters. The place has a grungy vibe that many find appealing. Despite mixed reviews on service and atmosphere, customers praise the quality of the oysters and dishes like the blackened Mahi sandwich and chargrilled oysters. The Mac n cheese and crab legs have also received positive feedback. Vegetarian options are limited, but the shrimp tacos and gumbo remain recommended. The bar features friendly staff, and the outside bar allows smoking in a spacious area. Live music, including bands like Boathouse Homies, adds to the lively atmosphere, making it a great spot to unwind and enjoy a Florida feel. The quality of raw oysters is exceptional, and the overall experience is enhanced by good service and a fun vibe. However, waiting times can be long, which might be challenging for families with kids. Despite some reports of slower service and occasional shortages of draft beers, the restaurant remains a popular choice for oyster lovers and those seeking casual seafood dining with a relaxed, energetic environment.

Been coming to Destin for 4 years and just discovered The Boathouse Oyster Bar! Woah if you haven’t been here you need to stop in check the place out Make sure you Tip Paulie and Randy a couple good fellas working their tails off. I’ll be back in June! To management/owners make sure you take good care of your staff they are all good people! Until next time, Keep it on the dock!!

Whoever the skan* is that was working today is terrible. She has a terrible attitude and flat out sucked all around.
Tried to bill be for food I never got and then had a crappy attitude when I called her out on it.
If you want a tip maybe act friendly even if you aren't.
We waited while she was on her phone or counting her till and never got asked if we needed anything else.
The ratings at this place are deceptive. Good food and drinks but horrible service.

The owners seem to be taking profits into consideration much more than customer service and choice.
Always running out of beer and not keeping stock in the winter is ridiculous, you must have the money for inventory.
Since coming here for 10 plus years the place has gone down every year, hope you don’t run out of tourists.
