23 Best Seafood Restaurants in Fort Walton Beach

“Our daughter got married there this past weekend April 26th, 2025. It was an amazing place for venue and food!!! The GM John is the absolute best to work with even if he’s a little on the short side (had to Boss Man)🤣🤣. He made the process so smooth and stress free! Couldn’t recommend it more. Thanks for everything and will be sure to stop again if back in the area!!“

“Girls trip 2025! First time there and it was our favorite of the trip! Whitney, our waitress was absolutely the best! Sitting on the patio overlooking the water was the cherry on top! I had the blackened redfish with crawfish topping and it was so delicious! Also the pimento shrimp dip and the fried green tomatoes were delish!!! I even got 2 tees from the shop! Loved it and will definitely return! ❤️“

“We went here multiple times on our Okaloosa Island vacation. Our first stop after getting off the airline because we were starved. Family steamer was fantastic! Had to make more stops before we returned home. Each time was fantastic!“

“We had the raw oysters, mussels, the house salad was so good. My father had the pineapple shrimp, my friend had the seafood medley and I had the steamed lobster tails with potatoes and asparagus. Everything was fantastic, cooked to perfection and just so yummy. The staff was super, friendly and fun! Will definitely go back!“

“Consistently good service and great food. I’m a picky eater and they always always cook my food the way I like it. Prices are right on par for the area. I love this place.“

“Pretty good food, little pricey, but good food.“

“Crab crusted grouper was excellent. Their fries are absolutely amazing. Pow pow shrimp appetizer was good. On the other hand, Seafood Alfredo came out cold, needs more salt or seasoning. Not a fan of the grilled shrimp tacos, also came out cold and tortillas were rubbery. One of the water cups was dirty on the inside and waitress brought a new cup right away. Waitress was very attentive. Coming back but will only order the food we tried and enjoyed.“

“we split the nachos which were good, i would say overpriced the amount you receive and we also got the grouper sandwich and we substituted the sauce for their cilantro ranch which is amazing. We havnt done their breakfast bec 23$ a person for a breakfast buffet is out pricing themselves. We did try their small pepperoni pizza for room service last night it was ok.“

“🦀What a delightful surprise! We had the best snow crab, the best beverages, and overall the best service we have had in a long time! Philip, the server, was outstanding!! Not only did he go over and beyond, he was thoughtful, personable, and super-friendly. We will be back and hope that he will be our server again. Thank you, Phillip!“

“Fantastic! Great food, friendly servers, beautiful sunset and an outstanding mix of live entertainment ! We love playing and partying there“

“We had dinner there last night and as always it was so good. I honestly can’t believe that some people drive right by to go to the more touristy places. We live about 75 miles from Ft. Walton Beach and this has been our go to place since the mid 80’s. Best gumbo I have ever had. Give this place a try. You won’t be disappointed ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

All of the ingredients tasted super fresh! We loved the outdoor seating atmosphere! Our server was CJ and he was a pleasure! So fast and accurate with our orders and so friendly! We loved getting to listen to the live band Paradise Vale as well! 100% recommend!“

“The food is excellent. We have eaten several different items on the menu and never had a bad meal. The is a variety of choices, something for everyone. Seafood, steak, pasta, salads, and more. The service is also excellent. Very professional and friendly. You will never be thirsty; they are constantly refilling the water glasses. They have an extensive wine list. Desserts are amazing. Be sure to save room or get one to go.“
