★★★★★ 5.0 Shawn Casselberry · Jan 2026

Definitely one of our favorite seafood places around Destin. They have a long wall of window seats so you can enjoy the incredible view. The service was spot on the whole time, with menu suggestions, refills, and attentiveness. We ordered hush puppies and they came out quick and included strawberry mint butter. The shrimp po-boy and coconut shrimp were excellent. The strawberry shortcake cheesecake looked amazing but we were too full, so we will have to come back. After lunch we enjoyed a nice post-meal walk on the beach and found some cool shells.

Very special place to dine if you're looking for a beachfront. Very brightly decorated with a nautical theme. The food was delicious, and prices are about standard for the area. So glad that we stopped to eat here.

Great place right on the beach. Great food. Had the grilled Grouper with a side of lump crab. Twice baked potato was really good. Beans and rice were tasty. Highly recommend. Have to have the Grouper grilled or blackened as it is a good clean tasting fish. Drinks were good and at a fair price.

For starters, you can't beat the view. The length of the building runs parallel with the beach. A you approach from the parking lot, you're greeted with an outdoor bar. We ordered two margaritas while we waited fort our seats, about a 20 minute wait on a Tuesday at 4:30. We just missed happy hour, this two margaritas were $27 in a 12 ounce cap. A 32 ounce margarita "bucket" is only $23. The menu is very large. The fried shrimp are on the large size and vertical tasty. We also ordered there coconut shrimp dinner, same sized shrimp but there was just a slight hint of coconut. Overall the food was above average. Our server was real good and attentive. The margaritas were average for flavor and poor pours. There's a narrow catwalk outside of the main dining room and about 10 picnic tables on t

★★★★★ 5.0 Steve Schardein · Oct 2025

A classic. Great food, right on the beach. Service is very friendly and relatively quick. It is PRICEY (~$40 for most main entrees) but that's to be expected given the location and crowd levels. We've eaten here probably a couple dozen times to date. The blackened fish is really good (grouper and snapper specifically) and the beans and rice are great, with a healthy dose of latent heat. I appreciate that the (very mid) vegetables they used to force-include with entrees in years past are now subbed for a side of your choice (we went healthy and got fries). Kids meals are inoffensive but nothing extraordinary. The drinks are always heavy pour it seems, with plenty of rum/tequila in many, but also relatively tasty nonetheless. Wife ordered the Berry Blast and I got PJ's Punch (which definit
