“Don't come here if you can't handle your alcohol, don't come here if you can't handle being around annoying drunk people, don't come here if youre offended when drunk people act stupid. If you cant handle any of that than you should stay home cause you can't handle going out This is a bar for grown ass adults and it's the only one open late in niceville so it's a melting pot. This place is cool, there aren't any rules just don't be a dick...“

“We were traveling back home to Lakeland from a long holiday and we decided to stop in Niceville, we saw this place and decided to try it. We are so happy we did! From the sushi roll to the ramen bowl and the tempora shrimp, EVERYTHING was excellent, including the staff. We loved the atmosphere, relaxed and sport friendly, for those who like to watch football. When we make our way back to North Florida we will be stopping by again. I hope to see them in our beautiful City of Lakeland one day. GREAT JOB EVERYONE!“

“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!“

“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. 🫶🔥🔥“

“Very cool place, I suggest you go heavy on mosquito spray.
Just a update since I'm new to fla. It wasn't so much a mosquito issue, it was (No Seeum) bug that got me on the back of my knee, those little bastards are vicious. 🪰 👿“

“We found this fabulous spot on a FB group for Fwb. We ventured out and had dinner last week - feta dip (OhMyGoodness!), hot honey flatbread, crabcake on lobster risotto, and creme brulee special. The service was spot on and the food was flat out fabulous! I took leftovers home and ate every bite - esp. the feta which surprised me as I already had a great whipped feta recipe. Nope, there's is better. Only caveat is they don't have cocktails but they have great wine options and beer/sodas. We took our dog (huge plus) and enjoyed a beautiful evening!“

“I’ve been going to Radbar for 5 years. Everyone is kind, and the conversations with the girls are always fun to have! Theme and Contest nights are the most fun you can have on any weekend, and Radbar does it right! The drink selection is A+ with IPAs and Coolers for adults and sodas and waters for underage gamers. Keeping it open for everyone till 9pm gives the younger people a chance to experience old school arcades, but of course after 9, it’s a nice relaxing getaway for gamers! 10/10 will keep my business every time!“

“Such a great place that me and my friends love to come to! Great spot on the water with lots of places to chill and hangout and enjoy the great atmosphere, good drinks, live music and the different food trucks they offer. Service has always been quick and friendly as well. Great spot for everyone from locals, tourists, families, couples, or just a friendly gathering. If you haven't checked them out yet I highly encourage you to go and see what a great spot this is!“

“Our party of 3 got seated right away. We all ordered different drinks and the favorite was the maker’s pina colada drink. Tom was the best server and took great care of us! My husband and I shared the platter for two and everything tasted great. Will definitely make a return visit.“

“We came in on a Friday evening after spending the entire day out in the Florida heat, and what we walked into was an incredible surprise. From the moment we stepped inside, the atmosphere was welcoming, and the amazing aromas instantly let us know we were in for something special.

The biggest highlight of our visit, though, was our server, Karina (“CoCo”). We were incredibly fortunate to have her taking care of us. She didn’t just meet our expectations….she completely exceeded them! She was outstanding with our child (which is always my top priority), attentive, personable, and had an impressive knowledge of the entire menu. Her recommendations were spot-on, and she made our dining experience unforgettable.

We visit here several times each year, and I can honestly say CoCo is the best server we’ve ever had. The food is always fantastic and highly recommended, but if you want the absolute best experience, be sure to ask for Karina (“CoCo”). You’ll be glad you did! And if you do, let her know you heard about her through this review.“

“We’ve been here several times during the evening hours. But our first time experience at lunch was a bit disappointing. My food came out but my wife’s calzone came much later. Our waiter was hardly checking on us for refills and never apologized or even tell us the food would come out late. (Plus no bread or their special oil.) I know it was lunch, but my highlight was the bread. I don’t know if we will come for lunch for a while, but we will give it a chance for evenings. I even wrote a note on the receipt and left my phone#. But as yet have I received a call.“

“We visited last summer, and stumbled on it by chance. We had a great time and ended up visiting multiple times during our vacay. Before we left the bartender knew my drink order! Friday nights get busy due to the military crowd, but we were there during peak season and had the best time. Cold drinks, not over priced, and not a tourist trap. We love the duck“

“Went there for the Spirit of 1989 show. It was good show in a decent venue. It was extremely hot in there and felt like the heat was blowing on me, but it was cool outside so was able to go out between bands. They had the game playing outside so I could check the score in between bands. There is some actual seats inside and outside the venue, having a bad back, I am unable to stand long periods of time. The bands were good, it was a good time. I would definitely go back for a show there again.“

“my favorite place to go! wonderful people, great atmosphere, great beer, they make you feel like family!! Salthop is the Best!!“

“I had an amazing experience at this bar, thanks to Becca. She was incredibly attentive and made sure to carefully listen to my order, especially after I mentioned I had food allergies. I felt completely at ease knowing she took that seriously. Becca took great care of me and my friends, all while still keeping up with other customers in a very busy summer crowd. It honestly felt like I had my own personal bartender the whole time. Her professionalism, friendliness, and attention to detail made the night stand out. Highly recommend stopping by and asking for Becca!“

“Best pizza Ive ever had! I don't even like pizza lol but this pizza is different. The sauce.... the cheese 🤌 i got one slice and went back and got two more! Sad im not local to this place bc I could legit eat here daily. This is a must if you visit the boardwalk!“

“Fantastic resort in Destin with the best views and rooms!“

“We found this restaurant through Resy. I’m so glad we decided to give it a try. My family is always searching for fresh, high-quality food and this place absolutely delivered. Everything we ordered was incredibly fresh and delicious…we tried quite a bit of the menu and honestly couldn’t pick a favorite, which says a lot! I missed a few pictures of some of our order. The restaurant itself is beautiful, spotless, and so well kept. It has such a welcoming atmosphere. The service was wonderful, and my son even said, “This place is heaven.” We can’t wait to come back the next time we’re in the area!“

“My wife and I ate there last night. Kind of expected it to just be a bar with “bar food”, was so wrong! We had a dozen fresh oysters, I actually had a few of them and I usually hate seafood! Super yummy! I had the chicken dinner, sauce and chicken was really good, so were the cheese grits. My wife had the catch of the day, happened to be Flounder, one of her favorites. The portion that came out was HUGE and she said really yummy, too! Tons of beers on tap and some funny t-shirts for sale too. Great place, may go again tonight!“

“Been to the Harbor Tavern a bunch of times but never to eat I finally got to try some items off the menu recently and lemme tell you they did not disappoint! I tried the mediterranean bowl with gyro meat with additional add-on of gyro meat and extra tahini sauce for the fries that we ordered everything was flavorful and so fresh tasting I can’t wait to try other menu items“

“Will at Crab Island is awesome“

“I visited Sammy's in Fort Walton just last night (6-17-24) and it was a blast. This is the first time i had ever been in this type of establishment and it exceeded my expectations. The service was amazing, the drinks werent very expensive and all the ladies were great on stage. It was a little slow when we got there around 10pm but it definitely picked up soon after that. Especially when Gabby got there and got on stage, her set was amazing and she was by far my favorite. So if you are in or around the area, be sure and stop in and ask for Gabrielle, you definitely wont be disappointed.“

“Great bartenders. Feels like a friendly neighborhood bar“

“Madison was a great bartender! So personable and her drinks were amazing! Can’t wait to come back. Our whole group throughly enjoyed her company!“

“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!“

“Great place to relax after a long work day“

“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.“

“My family ate here Friday night and it was wonderful. We had outstanding service from all the staff, but especially our server Mackenzie. Hands down the best Sushi we have ever eaten and yummy filets cooked to perfection. Our little girl loved her kids quesadillas too. Great experience, lovely view, top notch service and incredible food. We will be back the next time we’re in Miramar Beach! Do yourself a favor and give them a try.“

“This place is a hidden gem! Food was fabulous! Highly recommend!“

“Second year eating here and they have great service and our waiter Brandon was very professional and constantly made sure we were satisfied! Highly recommend!“

“Stopped in while visiting the Destin area from Kansas. Met Courtney, Bartender, and some locals which is what I wanted versus a Restuarant bar. Happy I did. Nice place offering a solid list of regular beers and drinks. I’ll definitely go back when in the area!!“

“Great food, drinks and Service. Luis was excellent. The views of the Sunset are absolutely beautiful from The Whales Tale deck.“

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