“Such a fun lil’ dining spot! Casual with a great menu selection and cocktail and beer menu also! Small area inside for dining, with outdoor patio and inside bar! Also have a dock to come by boat! Not a lot of parking available, but can park on roadside and at Compass Rose a Walk down. Loved the Gouda & Bacon oysters! Fresh with lots of melted Gouda & crispy bacon! Come with grilled bread! 🥖 The frosty cold IPA & 🍺 3rd Planet “Your my little boy Blue”Blueberry Beer, was a bonus! Great place for a get together, family meal, or just to have a drink and snack or lunch-dinner! The view is beautiful, and 3 house cats 🐈 hanging around, to entertain! Will definitely be back!“

“This is the best place in the area. I’ve driven an hour just to go here. Always look forward to going here. The food is always good and the service is also very friendly and professional. He constantly cleans the table and disinfect the door which is very comforting these days. Food is always and constantly great. Tastes the same every time I went. Also, love summer bean dessert wish it was year round if I had to complain about something. Lol. Highly highly recommend !!!!“

“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!“

“Great dining experience! Food was amazing and our server Tiffanee was top notch! She was knowledgeable and made great recommendations!“

“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. 🫶🔥🔥“

“Awesome food for the price. Food was fresh rice was on point sticky iky….Chicken had a good smoky teri taste and pork was juicy wet!!!!!“

“Had such a great experience at PB&J Bistro today! I ordered the BLT with a side salad topped with goat cheese and their citrus dressing, and everything was fresh, flavorful, and perfectly put together. The dressing had just the right balance and really made the salad stand out. My sister got the chicken salad sandwich with fruit, and she couldn’t stop talking about how good it was. Our friend ordered the tomato grilled cheese, and it was just as impressive, food done right. Everything we tried was honestly amazing. You can tell they put a lot of care into their food. I already can’t wait to go back!“

“Yo he ido a muchos restaurantes boricuas en Florida y, sinceramente, Papi’s Café and Grill es el único restaurante puertorriqueño que he probado en toda Florida que sabe 100% auténtico. Todos los demás no se sienten auténticos; tienen algún ingrediente o sabor agregado que los hace sentir como una copia y no como el sabor que amo y con el cual crecí. Yo extraño mucho mi isla, y cuando entro a Papi’s Café and Grill, instantáneamente me siento en casa. Además, tienen el mejor café auténtico y las mejores empanadillas. Lo recomiendo 100%. 🔥🇵🇷“

“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!“

“We stayed in Destin for a week and stumbled upon this place. It’s a little rough from the outside - looks like it’s in a mobile home trailer - but don’t let that fool you. The food and service were both excellent. My daughter insisted we come back and eat at Thai Smile our last night in town. We are vegetarians and they were very polite, informative and accommodating, and remembered us when we came back. Highly recommend.“

“Best food I had while in Destin!“

“The owners and staff are amazing, and the food is absolutely delicious! Best burgers in the area in my opinion. Highly recommend eating there.“

“Food is delicious! Service is great! Our favorite place in Niceville. Love the filet and lava cake and more.“

“Just ate here on vacation and it was amazing! Tom was our waiter and went above our expectations with fast service and even had special drinks prepared for us. He recommended great menu items and brought different sauces for our food. We will be back again!“

“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!“

“My family and I had the best dinner. Appetizers, entrees and dessert were all absolutely amazing. Our server was on top of it and kept us very happy. 10/10 experience!“

“Fantastic dinner and drinks, the flavors are incredible! Great service all with a beautiful view! Bonus was a dolphin sighting. New fan favorite. Husband already requested for birthday dinner next year.“

“Great food and portions!!! With all the great selections, can’t understand that they serve frozen potatoes for breakfast. 🤷‍♂️😔 Any kind of American potatoes (leftover baked diced up… ) would be a Great addition!!!“

“We are visiting the Ft Walton beach area for the first time. Soi Bistro came highly recommended and did not disappoint. Friendly staff and an enjoyable atmosphere. Will definitely go back to try more of their offerings. A must for sure“

“Excellent food and the service was fantastic. Amanda“

“Love coming here for breakfast!! Best spicy Bloody Mary around! Hands down! There gyro breakfast and western omelets are top choices and so flavorful and delish!! Highly recommend checking it out when your are town.“

“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.“

“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 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⭐️“

“Not bad pizza overall. Unfortunately they force you to get three toppings, or if you want less you still pay for three…? Most bizarre was the fact that they actually consider the mozzarella or “other cheese” as one of the three toppings??? That’s not NY, might be central FLA, which is fine. As the review started, not bad pizza but floppy especially if you order more than a topping. “Three toppings” intention actually means in ADDITION to the cheese. 12” for $22 is crazy & the gimmick of an 18” for $27 clarifies the gimmick. Order the pizza to be cooked “well done” & hopefully that should help with floppiness without burning. Enough of the pizza dissection. The small bar portion is cozy & half price HH is great! Will be back for HH, not certain for grub.“

“I’m from Texas and I usually don’t like any Tex mex restaurants there. I’m very picky about how the food taste. Best Mexican rice and beans I’ve ever had. The street corn and poblano enchiladas were top notch! Wish we had one of these in Texas 🤞🏼I love this place ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“The garlic dipping oil is amazing. We took some home and put it on sandwiches and in a crab omelet. We have been talking about it for days. The lasagna is remarkable and the ribeye steak I ordered was enough for three meals. Cooked perfectly medium rare. Friends had the lobster ravioli and shrimp with vodka sauce which was good. Calamari was outstanding, very tender. Our waitress was Lauren L., very professional and pleasant. We will definitely go back there again next year when we visit.“

“New owners and the food is great! The server was very good. I ate there 2 times this week.“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ If you’re craving authentic German food, this place is a gem! From the moment we walked in, the service was warm, attentive, and welcoming. The menu is packed with traditional favorites—everything tasted fresh, hearty, and true to its roots. The schnitzel was perfectly crisp, the sausages were full of flavor, and the sides (especially the spatzle and potato salad) tasted just like something you’d find in Germany. And the beer selection? Outstanding—ice cold, authentic, and the perfect pairing for the meal. Where else can you dance the chicken dance in Florida? It’s rare to find a spot that nails both the food and the atmosphere, but this restaurant does exactly that. Fun music on Friday and Saturday nights. Highly recommend for anyone who wants a genuine German dining experience with top-notch service. Thanks Luci! Prost! 🍻“

“delicious food, fast service. had the luau pig, rice n gravy and macaroni salad. and a musubi. the gravy is amazing!! highly recommend“

“We had the best time , food was great. Service was on point. Highly recommend a visit“

“During my recent visit to Acme Oyster House in Seascape, Florida, I was treated to a delightful dining experience that truly showcased the best of coastal cuisine. This gem of a restaurant, known for its fresh seafood and vibrant atmosphere, exceeded all my expectations. From the moment we arrived, the welcoming ambiance set a perfect tone for our meal. Our waiter, Pat, was a standout from the start. His friendly demeanor and extensive knowledge of the menu made us feel right at home. He took the time to recommend some of the restaurant's signature dishes, and his enthusiasm for the food was infectious. We began our culinary journey with a dozen oysters on the half shell, which were incredibly fresh and served with a tangy cocktail sauce. Pat's suggestion to try the chargrilled oysters was a game-changer; they were rich and flavorful, topped with a heavenly garlic butter that had us savoring every bite. For the main course, I opted for the grilled Shrimp Platter. Both dishes were beautifully presented and bursting with flavor, showcasing the restaurant's commitment to quality ingredients and traditional recipes. What truly made our experience memorable was the generosity of the manager, Shannon. After noticing how much we were enjoying our meal, he personally came to our table to check in. His genuine care for his guests and passion for the restaurant really shone through, making us feel valued and appreciated. In summary, Acme Oyster House in Seascape is a must-visit destination for seafood lovers. With exceptional service from Pat, the warm hospitality from Shannon, and a menu that celebrates the flavors of the coast, this restaurant has quickly become one of my favorites. I can't wait to return for another unforgettable dining experience!“

“My husband took me to the melting pot in Destin for our anniversary. Our server, Grant, was the BEST!! If you go to the melting pot, make sure that you ask for this young man. He is very polite, patient and accommodating.“

“We dine at Fat Clemenza’s every year when we visit Destin. Food is unbelievable. I would recommend this place for people that want casual pizza or fine dining Italian.“

“Best Mexican restaurant in FWB imo. Truly authentic! Do not let the outside fool you - the inside is very nice and stylish. Food is amazing and not too salty. Service is great as well. I love their homemade chips - some of the best that I have ever had - light and not greasy. Salsa is just right as well. This restaurant puts all of the others to shame!“

“Great beer! Live music! Friendly staff!“

“Use the Destin Harbor haulers app to request free rides to this location!“

“We have been here at least once a week for the last month! Delicious food and friendly staff.“

“The Back Porch did not disappoint one bit. We loved the atmosphere. We were seated out on the back porch right in front of the gulf and had a wonderful breeze blowing the whole time, which was great since we were visiting Florida in August. We got seafood and steak. The steak was amazing and tender. The grouper, crab bites and twice baked potatoes were delicious! We will definitely be back!“

“A hidden gem in Destin! A tiny spot with parking in the back. The atmosphere is quaint with maybe 7 tables inside and 4 tables outside. I’d imagine during peak season you’d need a reservation. Out bottle beer and champagne split was not ice cold, but that’s the only thing I’d complain about. I had the gyro platter, the meat was perfectly seasoned and served over a bed of rice. The salad was served on the same platter with a nice balsamic type dressing and plenty of feta cheese crumbles. My husband ordered the Swedish meatballs served on garlic mashed potatoes and the salad on the same platter. He did say some of meatballs were a touch overcooked but over all enjoyed the meal. We will definitely go back to try other dishes.“

“Crunchy salmon skin hand roll so freaking good ? oh my God lol finally“

“The absolute best staff! They took very good care of us. Neat atmosphere, food was good!“

“I love this place! First Korean restaurant I ever ate at (back in 2003ish), and been going back ever since. I liked a Korean restaurant in Germany too, but no other place I've tried (about 20 others) has compared. The owner always remembers me, my family, and my friends. We don't even need a menu, she knows what food and drinks we want and lets us know if there's something special to try that day, like the seaweed soup.“
