“We had such a fun time at Fudpucker’s! My son absolutely loved the gator interactions—it was definitely the highlight of our visit. Everything was exciting and super engaging for kids. The food was great too—everything we ordered was delicious and made the whole experience even better. Emily, the photographer, was amazing! She was so kind, knew exactly what she was doing, and worked quickly while still capturing great moments. We really appreciated how smooth and easy she made everything. Overall, such a memorable and family-friendly place. We’ll definitely be back!“

“Don’t let the plain exterior fool you, this place is dope. Julianne greeted us with a smile and was an excellent host/server. They have Gluten free garlic cheesy bread as well as gluten free pizza crust that is fantastic. Had a couple of the specialty pizzas and am in heaven. Run, don’t walk to Merlins!“

“Louisiana Redfish was PHENOMENAL. Shrimp and Grits was EXCELLENT. On the apps: recommend the Pork Belly, Fried Green Tomatoes and the Crab Cakes - ALL AMAZING. Service was great too. Prices are a bit high, but typical for waterfront view, but they had a good bar happy hour and a BOGO half off entrée special for early diners, which was unexpected and appreciated!“

“Tried a new place for breakfast this morning. Atmosphere was excellent. Not noisy at all. There are options for seating - outside, inside and a counter area. Very clean! Staff is very friendly and very polite. The kitchen was on point - food came out very quick and was delicious. Highly recommend and will definitely be back!!“

“The best breakfast sandwiches on the Emerald Coast—hands down. the croissants are unreal, and it’s one of those spots you keep finding excuses to go back to. Our favorite is when the French Dip lands the first week of every month. We make the drive down from Ponce de Leon just to get it. No joke—it’s that good. If you’re anywhere near Destin, it’s 100% worth the stop.“

The steaks were cooked to perfection—tender, flavorful, and served on those signature sizzling plates that make every bite a treat. The sides were generous and delicious, rounding out an excellent meal.
It was the perfect spot to celebrate our family vacation in the Destin area. Everything from the food to the hospitality made for a memorable evening. We highly recommend it and look forward to dining here again on our next trip.“
