Ordered pickup, it was ready so fast less than 10 minutes and it was delicious! Looks like a clean, nice restaurant, nice staff!

This is a place you can dress casual and have an incredible dining experience. Started off with the fried portobello mushrooms incredible, we then went to the main course,I had the pistachio crusted grouper, which was the best I've ever had. My wife had the fried shrimp basket. Shrimp was fresh and light. The taste of the seafood here is so fresh. Giovanni the owner and chef did two years in Hells kitchen withGordon Ramsay's read more

What a fantastic seafood house! With so many big box restaurants in Destin, all claiming to be the best seafood place around, I think this normal sized restaurant is amazing! Nice decor in the dining area, with a small bar with a few TVs. Plenty of seating options and tables. But the star of the show was the seafood. Both of our Grouper dishes were stunningly delicious, I mean I could have licked my bowl clean it was so good. The fish was delicious and cooked with finesse. I really liked the Gouda Grits, what a great twist to grits! The shrimp Alfredo was so good, the shrimp were cooked perfectly! The fish and chips was solid, really tasty fish and perfectly salted fries. Our waitress was very kind and super helpful. Don't skip on Fish On Seafood House, it was a diamond in the rough! read more

Very friendly service. Huge portions that are so good you may or may not take some home. We got White Fish over Gouta Cheese Grits. Mine was fried and my sons was Blackened. I am kicking myself for not getting a picture of it. It was huge and it was good. We both finished ours. My granddaughter got chicken wings and fries. They were good too. Especially the fries. Nice and clean modern looking place. The chef was on Hells Kitchen season 5. That was pretty cool. I'm a fan of Hells Kitchen but I'm more a fan of how darn good that fish was. Man I wish I would have taken a picture. Oops almost forgot. Get the Bang Bang Shrimp Appetizer read more

We were in Destin for a week long family trip and ended up eating here twice it was so delicious. The servers were quick and took great care of us! We never waited for a table and the atmosphere was calm and a great change of pace from some of the busier beachfront restaurants. It was a clean restaurant and the staff were great! The fish tacos were amazing! I ordered them both times we visited. My husband ordered the shrimp Alfredo the first night and it was perfect. The second visit he ordered fried Mahi with Cajun rice and it was the best fried Mahi he's ever tasted. It was also great to see the owner working in the restaurant. He came around and asked how our food was and if we needed anything. I could eat here weekly if we lived closer! read more

All fish are very fresh. We loved the whole fried fish. We also tried Pistachio Crusted Grouper but I think it is no better than a simpler dish because all the sauce is covering up the freshness. I would recommend having very simple dish to enjoy the freshness. Fish tacos were good but I wish it had more fish in them. The server was very nice and kind, especially to kids. A bit dark inside but cozy ambience. Overall highly recommended and we would come back while we are here. read more

Amazing food! Blackened grouper sandwich is amazing! Definitely get the tartar sauce and the aïoli for the sandwich or anything else you order! Wait time is short, service is fast, food delivery is even faster! This might be the BEST HIDDEN GEM in Destin. Lighting is good. Sound is enjoyable! Seating is comfortable. I am a Crème brûlée snob but this might be my top 10! Only critique I have is have a more mild buffalo sauce for the wings, and a personal preference is a little more charred sugar on the Crème brûlée. read more

Came here for fried fish. They had a few options like Mahi, Grouper, etc, but I tried the catch of the day, which was Red Snapper. You get to choose a side, and I got fries. It seems they place your fish on top. The fish was great! Came out crispy, hot, and super tender. Fries were nice and crispy too. The service was excellent- the restaurant was sort of fast casual, with orders placed at the front, but the food was delivered to our table and we were checked on during our meal to make sure everything was good read more

It one of the hidden gems in Destin. They have some of the best fish tacos around. So good!

I discovered this restaurant on Yelp, and after being impressed by the good reviews, my husband and friends decided to try it on a Friday night. It seems to be a fairly new establishment because, upon entering, we found that we were one of only two parties dining there. We ordered a variety of entrees, including the fried shrimp basket, the fried catfish basket, and the smash burger, along with a frozen margarita and some hard seltzers. There is plenty of indoor and outdoor seating, but we opted to sit outside. Our food arrived quickly, and it was piping hot, fresh, and served in generous portions. Everything was incredibly tasty. On a Friday night, this place should have a line out the door. I hope the 5-star reviews for this restaurant helps boost its business because it truly offers excellent and fresh seafood. If you have the chance, I highly recommend checking it out! read more

Fresh! Everything tasted so fresh. And this place was such a great vibe through the employees, to the decor, all the way to the flavors. Good things all around. The guy working at the cashier was all by himself yet kept an eye on our table and all the others eating too. Honestly very very impressive service. He was super kind and quick. Everything here is all good vibes! read more

Where do I even start!!! This place is such a hidden gem and honestly top notch! The ambience is nice and calm, and the prices are great. Plus, there's actually PARKING!!! The previous day we "ate on the beach," and let's just say; this place is hands down the best! This place is golden, the food is outstanding, and the whole experience was worth it. Definitely on my list when I come back to Destin. YOU NEED TO TRY IT... sincerely, a Texas girl!! read more

We saw all the 5 star reviews and had to verify! Welp, verified, legit 5 star experience. Unlike some places, there was plenty of parking here. You order at the counter as you enter and get a number for them to find you at whatever table you seat yourself at. We didn't wait in line long and the staff was friendly and helpful. It was cool and slightly dim inside so we elected to sit outside. Outside seating is limited to 3 large picnic tables. We had blackened red snapper over grits, shrimp and grits, a Caesar salad, and fish and chips. All the food very good. Worthy of note everything comes with hush puppies and even a small extra basket for the table. These were easily the best we had during our week here. All the food was served hot and at the same time. The snapper was cooked perfectly. The fish and chips (fish) had a really tasty seasoning in the breading and it was a nice portion of really good fish. The grits were yummy and the shrimp and grits was very tasty. Everything was great and served pretty quickly. Added bonus, from 4-6 you can get 1/2 priced boozy slushies, and we didn't read more

10/10 recommend. We came around 3:30 and the place was weirdly empty, but we decided to take a chance and have lunch anyway. We were NOT disappointed. The blackened tuna was so flavorful and delicious! The grouper (blackened) sandwich was delicious. The fish tacos were juicy and giant. The Greek salad was so fresh and yummy as well (added blackened shrimp). Will definitely be back. The dining room is spacious and light with plenty of seats for large parties. You order food at the counter and then find a seat and the food came out really quickly. read more

IF YOU'RE A TOURIST , YOU NEED TO COME HERE! If you want real fish and chips, this is the place to go. We've been in town for a week on our honeymoon and tried a few other spots, but nothing really hit the spot until we found this one. The food was fresh, flavorful, and perfectly cooked--and the people were absolutely amazing! Very quick service as well! The place also very clean and neat! I didn't take the best pictures but trust me, it's worth it! Sincerely, a Texan read more

I stopped by here earlier today with my wife and twins for lunch. We were in Destin for the day and had just gotten off the beach when we fired up Yelp to help us find a seafood spot and came across Fish On. It looked like a fancy place when we pulled in, but it thankfully ended up being a chill spot. The interior of the restaurant has a clean and bright coastal feel. The walls are painted a light seafoam green with white trim and large white plantation shutters on the windows, letting in lots of natural light. A large mounted marlin hangs from the ceiling, reinforcing the seafood theme. There are ocean-themed paintings on the walls, including a mural of windows opening out onto the water. The dining area features a mix of white-washed wooden booths and long tables with blue chairs, giving it a casual and airy atmosphere. Overhead lighting is recessed into the ceiling, and everything feels neat, relaxed, and family-friendly. Ultimately, we chose the exterior seating area, which was a covered wooden deck with a sloped roof and exposed beams. It's shaded and equipped with ceiling fans for comfort, making it a nice option on warm days. The area is furnished with wooden picnic tables and overlooks a parking lot bordered by palm trees and landscaped greenery, giving it a laid-back, beach-town vibe. It feels casual and open, great for families or groups. For lunch, I ordered the grouper sandwich while my wife went with the half-pound shrimp boil, and our twins shared a kids' chicken tender meal. My grouper sandwich was very good. The breading on the fish was super light but crunchy, really letting the grouper shine. The bun itself was toasted, and I really enjoyed the tartar sauce, which was bright and had an herb in it that I couldn't quite pick out. The fries were great as well, with a super crispy exterior and a warm, soft interior. They were topped with flake salt, which was a nice touch. My wife ended up really enjoying her seafood boil and was impressed with the amount of shrimp she got. Last but certainly not least was the kids' meal. The chicken tenders seemed to have the same breading as the grouper--light, airy, and crunchy--which made me think they were prepared in-house and not just bought frozen. The bottom line for me is that I would head back here again in the future. All of our food here was excellent and we loved the outdoor area where our twins could play without really bothering anyone. read more

This was the best food we ate while visiting Destin. That's not saying much -- Destin shockingly didn't have very good food, at least in my opinion. However, Fish On Seafood House was an outlier. We split some fish dishes and everything was excellent. The Firecracker Shrimp were huge and super crispy and flavorful. I got the Fried Catfish which was fresh and well-seasoned. My Mom enjoyed her Grilled Grouper Sandwich and the hush puppies/fries on the side as well. I don't know when I'll be in Destin next, if ever again, but I would get this place again for sure. read more

We came here on Tuesday evening for a late dinner after driving in. The best fish fry in Destin area! We were greeted by one of the owners and he was so nice. Gave us some tips ok what was good and fresh. I had the fried fish of the day and shrimp and the fish was cooked to perfection! The shrimp was tasty. The batter to both seafood was outstanding! Beer was cold and tasty! I will be back again! read more

They were very fresh, and I loved the slaw and sauce on top. read more

Best Seafood Spot in Destin, FL--More People Need to Know About This Place! We randomly found this place while heading to another restaurant on a packed Friday night over Memorial Day weekend. Most places had crazy wait times, but this one had no wait--which honestly had us a little skeptical at first. But wow, are we glad we gave it a shot! The vibe here is super laid-back. You order at the counter, grab a seat, and they bring the food out to you. We got the Pepper Crusted Tuna and the Whole Fried Snapper. Everything came out hot, fresh, and fast. The tuna was loaded with flavor--kind of an Asian twist that totally worked. But the real showstopper? That whole snapper. Crispy, perfectly seasoned, and just insanely good. The fries were legit too--nice and seasoned, not just an afterthought. My wife and I love whole fried fish, and this was honestly one of the best we've ever had. We've tried some of the fancier seafood spots in Destin with beachfront views, and while the views are great, the food's usually just okay. This place might not have the scenery, but it kills it on flavor and quality. More people need to be eating here--it's a total hidden gem. We'll definitely be back! read more

I would give more stars if I could! This was my first meal in Destin and it did not disappoint! The shrimp in gouda grits with Worcestershire sauce was out of this world. If you love a blended cocktail, their slushy drinks are so tasty. What puts them on top as my favorite stop in Destin is the customer service. The owner is so kind, checking in on us throughout our meal, filling our water, cleaning our plates. He was delightful to talk with and we appreciated his service. Not on the water but the food and service is so great you won't even notice! read more

We go down to Destin most summers with our kids and extended family. When I'm in town I want to eat as much seafood as possible. I absolutely hate going to tourist traps where the lines are long and the food is passable. This last year I spent time trying to find something that was going to provide good food, but without all of the trappings I hate. Fish On nailed everything I wanted. The setup is pretty simple. You order at the counter and then they bring the food to your table. There are ample tables that are well designed and overall it felt very efficient. The food we got was absolutely fantastic. I didn't hear a single complaint from the kids or adults. A stand out to me were the hush puppies. I also really liked the grouper that I got. The kids liked the french fries. We didn't get them, but some of the neighboring tables had salads that looked fantastic. My mom and sister thought the crab cakes were excellent. Overall I was very happy with the overall experience. I felt the prices were reasonable, the food was excellent, and the food came quickly to our table. I will definitely be coming back the next time we are in town. read more

This place was not at all what I expected. It should be listed as $$$ not $$. The food was cooked fresh. My grouper was hot but the sandwich was not worth $22. The server was very conscientious and on top of it. It was more like a diner than a restaurant with paper napkins. Just underwhelming read more

I didn't know this place existed and we've been visiting Destin once a year for the past decade. I was looking for any new restaurants in the vicinity and this one popped up. It's hard to stumble across it since it's set back in the shopping center and you can't see it from the main road. I would say the food here falls right in between Dewey Destin's (Bayside) and Boshamps. You order at the counter, grab your beverage and find your table. The setting is super cute and fun. When we were there on a Saturday night it wasn't very busy, but there was a food festival going. We ordered the smoked tuna dip, shrimp and grits and blackened grouper with side of mac and cheese. The smoked tuna dip had good smoke and nice flakes - it was delicious and served with pita chips. The shrimp and grits had plenty of shrimp and the grits were well seasoned. The sauce gives bbq shrimp vibes - I would've liked a little less of the sauce. The grouper was served on top of a mound of the mac and cheese. I think this is where they can work on the presentation. The mac and cheese was a side, not a pasta. Instead of serving so much mac and cheese as the base, maybe give two normal-sized sides with the entree? Mac and cheese was good - not sure what other reviewers were talking about not liking the texture. The fish was a little oversalted but still good. Overall, this place is a good option for yummy local seafood. read more

Super attentive to their clients. We ordered the shrimp boil and smoked tuna spread. They paid attention to us and realized that we didn't care for the tuna.

Reasonable prices. But to substitute french fries for another side dish was an additional five dollars and you could buy aside for six so I'm not sure why such an increase in price to switch from french fries to another side dish. Also waiter was not real friendly. read more

The food and service at Fish On Seafood House were on point. The chef (Giovanni Filippone) has been featured on Hell's Kitchen and once you eat here you'll understand why. The restaurant was very clean and the service was exceptional. The wait staff was very friendly and knowledgeable. I enjoyed the fish and chips and they were prepared perfectly. The fish was Mahi and it was breaded and fried to a golden brown. My wife tried the biggest Po Boy I've ever seen. It was a giant hoagie with large fried shrimp. My wife took half of it home. You don't want to pass this place up. It's a must try. read more
