    Such a quaint place and fantastic food. Not an extensive menu but absolutely delicious. The grits are the best I've ever had.

    Say hi to the gators (there are several in the lake, and you are just about guaranteed to see them).

    The good is worth the wait. It's a small but cozy footprint inside with typical beach decor, but…read moredon't let that dissuade you. Once inside you order at the counter and the time you wait is minimal compared to the amount of people inside, the service was excellent start to finish! I can see why this is constantly rated one of the best fish houses as every thing was perfectly cooked and flavored. We had a group of ten and everything was correct, a nice change of pace from other recent experiences. The Bang Bang Shrimp stood out to me most of all but everyone was pleased with their food.

    Scooter's Fish House must be good if it has a line out the door, right?…read more We visited with a party of 10 and ordered a little bit of everything: bang bang shrimp, grilled shrimp, fried swordfish, fries, coleslaw, hush puppies, and chargrilled oysters. Once you place your order at the window, you're handed a drink cup and sent into the chaos of finding a table. The place stays busy, and with the crowd, TVs, and constant activity, it can get pretty loud. If you're hoping to have an easy conversation with your group during dinner, be prepared to compete with the noise. That said, the atmosphere is fun. The restaurant is full of local character, plenty of decorations, and enough going on to keep things interesting while you wait for your food. The food came out hot and fresh from the kitchen window. The chargrilled oysters were the highlight of the meal--piping hot, perfectly cooked, and served with fresh lemon. Everything else was solid and exactly what you'd expect from a casual seafood spot, but nothing really stood out as memorable. Overall, Scooter's is a good place to grab seafood if you're already in the area. The oysters are worth ordering, the atmosphere is lively, and the food is consistently decent. Just don't expect a meal that's worth making a special trip for. TL;DR: Good food, great oysters, fun atmosphere--but not quite destination-worthy.

    If it's Dewey's, it's gotta be good....at least that's been our experiences for the past decade or…read moreso. (Including many visits to the originals in Destin.) Parking is so much easier here than in Destin. Food....is very much the same. Hot seafood-based appetizers, soups, salads. Grilled or blackened seafood baskets, shrimp or crab steamers, sandwiches (including chicken and hamburgers) plus a kids' menu. with sides. And....they'll "cook your catch" ..... "Been fishing? We will fry, grill, or blacken your fish for you!" Check website for details ... restrictions listed, along with price. Soft drinks, beer, wine and cocktails at this location. Yep...they got it all.

    We visited Dewey's in Navarre around 8:05 PM on a Wednesday night. The food was outstanding,…read moreeverything was cooked perfectly, flavorful, and easily deserving of 5 stars. The setting was also beautiful. We chose to sit outside overlooking the bay. While it was dark enough that we had to use our phone flashlights to see our food, we didn't mind because the skyline view was lovely and we enjoyed watching the glow-in-the-dark kayaks on the water. Unfortunately, the service was a different story. You order and tip at the counter before being served, then find your own table. Once seated, it was unclear whether food would be brought out, whether our name would be called inside, or what the process was. No one ever came outside to check on us, offer napkins, provide condiments, or ask if we needed anything. I eventually sent my 11-year-old daughter inside to ask for napkins. The restaurant was not busy, and there appeared to be plenty of staff on hand. However, it felt like everyone was focused on cleaning and closing for the night rather than taking care of the guests who were still dining. My only suggestion would be to reconsider the tipping process. Since gratuity is collected before any service is provided, it's difficult to know what level of service you're rewarding. If I returned, I would likely skip the pre-tip option and bring cash to tip afterward based on the actual experience. The food was excellent, but the lack of service left a lasting impression. Based solely on the meal, I'd absolutely return. Based on the service, I'm not sure I would.
