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.

The young ladies working at the register were incredibly kind, welcoming, and pleasant. As I was leaving, I asked if they had a couple of plastic forks, knives, and spoons. Not only did they happily bring them, but they thoughtfully added salt and pepper packets as well. Later in my room, as I was getting ready to enjoy my cucumbers, avocados, and oranges , I noticed the extra care they had taken. Such a small gesture, but it genuinely made my evening. In today's busy world, it's the little acts of kindness and thoughtfulness that leave a lasting impression. Their warm attitude and attention to detail were so appreciated that I ended up shopping there multiple times during my three-day stay. Moments like this remind us how powerful simple kindness can be.

Decent grocery store!…read more Reminds me of a Publix, but not quiiiiite up to snuff as far as layout and clean modern feel. Decent prices though!

We're not eating here." (Apparently he wanted more ambience and didn't want to eat outside, despite the weather being beautiful and the porch picnic tables being great!). We went inside, ordered the seafood boil (1.5 pounds of shrimp, 1.5 pounds of scallops, 1 pound of mussels, some potatoes and corn), and that was PLENTY for 2 adults and 2 kids. We ordered the house garlic butter sauce and it was AMAZING. I'm not a huge potato fan, but they were INCREDIBLE and really worth getting. The food was incredible, and felt super fresh. While the ambience wasn't great, it was super authentic and awesome. We were bummed to miss out on the key lime pie (sold out), but we would go back!! Great customer service to boot.

Its not always easy while traveling. I will be in Florida for 31 days so I needed to stock up. This is the closest health store I could find near our condo. Besides the WFoods. I alsys like to support the little guy over the big box places so we stopped in. This store is amazing! This store is super clean. This store has everything! The folks here are so nice and eager to help. I could hang out here all day and browse every section. Why the 4 stars you ask? Because unfortunately everything was so darn expensive. I only got a few things here and had to head over to big box competitor for the majority of things. I would have purchased all of my items here if it was only $1 more here and there but everything was way higher. I know in today's economy its hard to keep the prices down. I will be back for produce and my favorite mineral waters while here in town. I would totally recommend this place for the selection of produce, organics...deli, wines...everything... the customer service... so eager to help and the store is so well organized and stocked. I just wish I had the extra cash to not have to budget. One thing that I will add that did confuse both myself and the hubs is the pricing... we grabbed several different items at first when we thought they were a certain price but then after a second look they were a different price... so read the descriptions on the tags... they could be for the item below..I thought my favorite mineral water was 2 for $4....turns out they were almost $5 a piece... the tags are confusing.. it hapened to us twice... Not a deal breaker just pay attention to the lables and signs.. great store!
