24 Best Seafood Restaurants in Fort Walton Beach

“What do I recommend? Anything!! Everything!! We had the fried grouper dinner with coleslaw and fries. The grouper was so fresh and juicy. And flaky!!! The coleslaw tasted like my mom’s! 🥰 and the hush puppies were pure perfection. We had planned to visit a place over in Destin but the prices were ridiculous!! $42 for six jumbo shrimp?! C’mon!! I honestly wasn’t expecting the quality of food for the price I paid! Great food. Great prices! I only dealt with T who took my order and was so courteous and Joey who I just had to tell about our wonderful experience. I told her we would be back before we leave and I’ve already planned my Sunday dinner! This was the Stewby’s on Racetrack Drive in Fort Walton. Highly recommend it!“

“The Gulf is one of my favorite places. The staff is always friendly and it’s the perfect place to grab a bite and relax with family and friends or read and study solo. Yesterday was a bit chilly so Olivia and her teammate lit the fire pit for us. We were able to eat and enjoy the views while staying warm. Thanks again Olivia and staff. 🫶🔥🔥“

“I had a friend in town and whenever she comes in town this is her favorite stop! We were celebrating her 60th Bday and Morgan at the racetrack restaurant was AMAZING!“

“Great Food &Service CrestviewOutdoors 980 West James Lee Blvd Crestview“

“The best seafood I have ever eaten in my 50 years of life. We came to vacation from Kentucky and The Shack has the best fried geeen tomatoes I’ve ever eaten! Make it a point to eat here when you come to visit the area. A++++ 10⭐️“

“We have been watching the page since opening and are so pleased with our selection of the steamed seafood platter for 2. Everything was delicious and perfectly prepared. The platter actually looked just like the pics online! (How often does that happen?) Our server Baylee was very attentive, helpful and prompt. We ended with Tiramisu and left with big smiles! We will be back.“

“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.“

“Had dinner at Angler’s Beachside Grill and ordered the crab-crusted grouper with hush puppies and the vegetable medley. Everything was absolutely amazing. The grouper was cooked perfectly, the crab topping added incredible flavor, and the entire meal was fresh and delicious. The hush puppies were a great complement to the meal, and the vegetable medley was cooked just right.

The food, atmosphere, and overall experience made for a fantastic evening. If you’re in the area and looking for great seafood, I highly recommend giving Angler’s Beachside Grill a try. I’ll definitely be back!“

“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.“

“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 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“I’ve been there a couple of times. The food and service is good. I think they’re very close to being awesome. My only complaint for the Shrimp and Grits is the shrimp are obviously frozen farmed, and small. The grits and biscuits are very good and well seasoned, they need bigger, fresher shrimp to make it a high quality dish. Definitely a popular place and I need to try some other meals.“

“🦀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!“

“Bangkok Bistro is my favorite place in town. Good staff and great food. you won't be disappointed.“

“we love this place, it's close to our house, they make a delish paloma, food is good but golly gosh darnit ~ please teach the cooks how to fry and egg for the huevos rancheros dish!!! they simply ruin this dish when serving it with an over cooked brown (yes that is how hard they fry it) eggs ~ it ruins the dish; do not serve this dish, huevos rancheros if you cannot make it correctly, thank you“

“Best food in Fort walton bch by far well worth the price I love the Place !“

“The best Mexican food we have ever eaten. Staff is pleasant and attentive. Highly recommend!“

“This was our first time and everything was amazing! The food was delicious! We had the wings, empanadas, and hummus for appetizers! We also had the lasagna, a burger, and the GI Jade special pizza! 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.“

“Great atmosphere, great food, great service, great view, and great margaritas! Sawyer was the best server ever! Ask for her!“

“The team work is excellent Charmaine working drive thru did an great job ! The food quality was good and made jn a reasonable time 10/10 service highly recommended..“

“I would recommend AJ’s for the live music and drinks, but the food is lacking. $26 for 8 oysters is ridiculous. I ordered the “shrimp spring rolls”. I expected a spring roll like you get in an Asian restaurant. I got six shrimp tails wrapped in phyllo for $16. Very disappointed in the food but the atmosphere is nice.“

“Song Han and Jade run an incredible restaurant with fantastic food and a better experience! This is the best hibachi in my he area, hands down. 10/10 recommend!“

“our server Danielle was amazing....“
