This is the #1 best restaurant in all of Destin!!! Crab stuffed shrimp are like heaven on a platter!!!
Great food right on the beach.
Excellent food. Beautiful view of the beach. Awesome service.
Seafood has consistently been good. Our favorite place to eat in Destin (4 times this week). I tried the ribeye tonight. It was good and cooked to order. However, they should serve a true baked potato and house salad with steak. Your options were twice baked potato which (which tasted like something from a grocery store freezer(or mashed potatoes (may have been a better option). No salad but slaw was available. Not my choice with steak. If you are looking for consistently good seafood it can't be beat.
The smoked tuna dip was divine! We got the Parmesan amberjack and it was so rich and flavorful!
Liked the atmosphere! It was pretty much like a saloon on the beach. People were talking loud and the waitress was pretty kind to my girlfriend and I. I liked the food - had fried shrimp with green beans and a Gulf Grouper.
Food was great. Service was good.
Had dinner there tonight.
Grouper, crap stuffed shrimp, gumbo, key lime pie, twice baked potato all AWESOME 😋😋
Server Frank, professional and friendly
Atmosphere and view extraordinary
Sadly disappointed. Family has been coming here every summer for the past 10+ yrs. Service, atmosphere and views are excellent. Food quality has suffered over the past 4-5 yrs. We ordered a dozer raw oysters and seafood nachos with margaritas.
Well this is a restaurant, not a hotel. Anyway, probably the best seafood platter I have ever eaten. It was called the Boiled Jubilee with slaw. Best slaw too. Mahi, scallops, gulf shrimp, & crab cake. Next time I want to try the fried shrimp & scallops. Hate to see this place in the summer. We just visited in mid September, on a Monday & it was still a 30min wait for a party of 2! We were on page 3 but they serve a lot of people. Absolutely worth it though! Plenty of waiting areas & tables. Took about 20min to get our food. I highly recommend. Will return.

$25 sandwich was disappointing!
Great spot right on the beach with delicious food.
