Ok. I've been patronizing Skipper's for as long as it's been in business...even before I had a…read moretaste for shrimp. I even have a t-shirt I wear proudly in my home town. Like many things here in Destin over the last few years, change is abrupt and frustrating. And for this review I don't mean ownership...I've continued patronizing since the original Skipper sold out and still love the shrimp and tuna dip there--and the folks helping behind the counter. I will typically visit 4 to 5 times during a break here to ensure we always have fresh, local, steamed shrimp in the fridge...it doesn't last long. And Skipper's has always had the best. But my first visit this summer really bothered me. After an honestly strange interaction with the young man handling the counter--seemed he couldn't interpret the questions I was asking about sizes, though I was being somewhat comic (I was happy to be getting my first batch of the summer!)--I chose my size and weight and requested it to be steamed with cajun seasoning, my usual. He then told me it would cost $5 to steam. I was floored. Again, how many years I can't even count that I've followed a routine of hitting Skipper's, grabbing a couple pounds and a tuna dip, request the steam, pay, leave the tuna dip on ice, head to Winn Dixie for a couple items, return in 10 mins to pick up the steaming hot shrimp, and head back to the condo to enjoy the best shrimp in the world. Never have I been charged to steam. So I asked the guy behind the counter when they started charging. His reponse? "We always have." I asked how long is "always" to him. He said since he'd been working there. I asked how long that has been. He said "about 8 months." Well, little did he know I had just followed my routine in April and was not charged for steaming. And I followed it several times in November as well with no charge. At the very least get the story and justification straight. It's enough to see the new credit card transaction charges on everything in Destin now (pre-tax, btw). This is just another hit. And I get it...small businesses have it tough, no doubt. And I will always support small businesses...as long as they make me feel good. This young man did not. And one more thing to add here...unfortunately another criticisim. On our next visit a few days later (can't give up the shrimp, and there really is no better...though there's a spot closer to Destin that may compete I've learned), my wife followed my routine while I was golfing. When I arrived back home, she was almost embarrassed to tell me that the steamed shrimp had come with butter and lemon...without notice. And I mean a Southern serving of butter...a pool of it in the tin container. We absolutely prefer our shrimp seasoned only (cajun, not old bay). Period. Adding a ton of butter with no check for preference or confirmation of a practice a new patron or old would never know was default (albeit, in the last few years the folks behind the counter would know me so knew how I liked it, which I also cherish) is just a straight up failure of service to me. I will say we drained the butter and saved it as it was tasty as heck on toasted bread, but not with our traditional shrimp enjoyment. Whenever I meet a new tourist to this area no matter where that may be--the geographic breadth of folks visiting here is amazing the last few years--I ALWAYS recommend Skippers fresh shrimp and tuna dip. I even did so with a family we met in the Austin airport on the way here headed to their first vacation in Miramar Beach and happened to be staying right across from Skipper's on old 98. I even bragged about how Skipper's steams it for you right on the spot. I surely hope they were asked if they wanted butter and lemon.

Shrimp Scampi 9/10 I chose to have the shrimp grilled, they were cooked perfectly, juicy, and a great flavor too. Probably some of the best cooked shrimp I've ever had at a restaurant. Pasta was cooked well. The scampi sauce was a good flavor. Adding the juice from the lemon made it even better. I love tomatoes in my scampi so that would be my only suggestion to make this a 10/10.

Nice Budweiser tap special, but for me I appreciate their selection of IPAs. Seafood gumbo was good. The hush puppies are addictive. Tuna dip is delicious. Ruben sandwich was ok. Fries were good. I did notice on two occasions we were seated by the hostess at a table that needed to be wiped off. Even though there were several empty tables. The last time here the same hostess sat us at a dirty table, we told her about it, so she seated us at another dirty table. Complained about that but she would not wipe the table so we sat in a totally different area. That's just inexcusable laziness. (hear that management?). But all our waitresses provided excellent service. Looking forward to our next trip!!
