    I ordered the fried shrimp plate with baked beans and mac and cheese as my sides. I also had a spoonful of marinated slaw that came with my shrimp and everything was excellent! The mac was a tad dry but still tasted good. The beans and marinated slaw were my favorite out of everything. My friend ordered the burnt ends plate and it was amazing. The people working there are super nice and down to earth! It felt like home away from home.

    I stopped in this spot during my short visit to Destin. I'm not a seafood gal and most of the popular restaurants were seafood best which makes sense for your beach town. When i arrived there was someone ordering take out. I ordered my food, paid and then you sit down. They have a little sink right outside to wash your hands which was cool.. The staff were super friendly and very welcoming. I ordered the turkey BBQ sandwich, potato salad and baked beans. That meal was delicious. Everything was nicely seasoned and not salty. I ate every last drop of my food. The portions were fair and the prices were very reasonable. I had intentions of returning to this spot before I returned home but didn't get a chance. I would definitely come back and check out some other menu items.

    We DoorDashed our order, so we expected it to arrive a little less than piping hot, but still wanted to give this spot a try! We got the chicken tender platter with mac & cheese and potato salad. The mac & cheese was pretty dry and lacked seasoning, and the tenders were on the tough side. The potato salad, though, was actually really good! We also tried the rack of ribs. They had decent flavor, but didn't fall off the bone like we'd hoped. The smoked chicken ended up being the best thing we ordered, juicy, flavorful, and clearly made with care. The biggest letdown was the banana pudding. If you're from the South and expect classic banana pudding with layers of Nilla wafers, this one might not hit the mark. It tasted more like whipped cream with just a single cookie on top. Overall, not a bad experience, but definitely room for improvement, especially with the sides and desserts.

    Came to try this place out. Not impressed at all. The decor is nice. The service was quick. The food wasn't the best. The chicken and ribs were extra light not cooked all the way. The wings were extra big and deformed. Nothing was great about this place. I don't recommend at all. The burnt ends were just pice of briskets cut in squares and over cooked. This was not real barbecue

    Destin Vacation must for BBQ! 2nd time eating here and trying to get caught up on reviews. We ate the first night and I was so hungry. I ordered platter with baked beans, potato casserole and Broccoli cheese casserole! The Broccoli had just came out of oven and was delicious! They have specials ,so be sure and look for those. Husband had chicken and they were nice enough to take off bone. Side was slaw. Now let's talk Sweet Tea! Sooo good. Not everyplace has good tea. Some taste like the bottom of instant but not here. Then......and I know your thinking that was enough food for a over weight older person.... then we had Pudding. Free from a coupon. This place is down out of the hassle area but still on the main street. You can't eat fish every meal so give this a try for sure.

    Amazing! We were the first ones to dine on a Friday morning at 11AM and there were 4 other tables there with us. We've been to the other Moe's location but I think this one is newer. We ordered the chicken platter and brisket platter. The chicken platter was so much food, bang for your buck! The brisket was amazing. Everything was sooooo good. Mac and cheese, potato salad and hush puppies were our sides. Get the Mac & cheese, it will change your life! This location is massive. Lots of indoor seating for the Florida heat! The customer service was great and the food!!! Can't wait to come back here for our next visit.

    Food was great. The only thing I'd say is to get the sauce on the side. Service was amazing. Very kind and homely feeling. The ambiance is awesome. Very much a hole in the wall feeling. Super good.

    Chicken, potato salad, squash, cornbread
    Sandra B.

    Delicious! I had the smoked chicken plate, hub's had the brisket. Squash was very good, potato salad, very good, Cornbread was excellent. Highly recommend this place.

    Authentic down home BBQ When I'm Destin this is a must stop  Can't go wrong with anything on menu however the wings are crazy good

She was from Bulgaria and had an accent, but she was very easy to understand. She was attentive, kind, and constantly checking on our table to make sure we had everything we needed. She kept our drinks full, brought anything we asked for promptly, and truly provided outstanding service. It was upsetting to see some people treating her poorly and blaming mistakes on the fact that she has an accent. She worked incredibly hard and did an amazing job. Everyone deserves to be treated with kindness and respect, especially someone who is clearly putting so much effort into taking care of their customers. Thank you for a wonderful meal and for having such a dedicated server on your team. She made our visit memorable, and we hope she gets the recognition she deserves.

ABSOLUTELY HORRIBLE experience on a Saturday evening in July!!! My family and I chose to come here to celebrate my sisters 30th birthday while we were on vacation. We had a 6:30 reservation and were seated right away. Our server greeted us and took our drink orders. It took an hour and a half to get our drinks which were wrong. My parents margaritas were not frozen as requested. We placed our food orders. My sisters steak came out completely burnt. My brother in laws club sandwich came out with burnt toast. The sweet potato waffle fries and regular fries were so overcooked you couldn't even eat them. The shrimp in the seafood boil wasn't deveined and there was still shit in the shrimp. The potatoes in the boil were undercooked and the boil itself was under seasoned and bland. They tried charging me for 2 mocktails when I only had 1. My sisters salad was wrong and missing the requested shredded cheese. The server and managing intern were both very unpleasant to deal with. This place is nothing but a commercialized money trap with piss quality food and service. If you are on vacation STEER CLEAR OF DESTIN MARGARITAVILLE!!!!!

We started with the tzatziki, shrimp wonton rolls, and potstickers. All three were great, but the shrimp wonton rolls were my favorite. For my main, I ordered the grilled shrimp pita (loaded with shrimp) with fries--definitely hit the spot. Around the table we also had burgers, a Mediterranean bowl, and pork belly tacos, and everyone loved their meals. We were so full we didn't even make it to dessert. Overall, great vibe, great food, and a fun atmosphere. Definitely worth checking out--just plan on taking an Uber or Lyft since parking is limited.

It felt like our table had been overlooked, which was disappointing, especially for a party of six. That said, I don't think one server represents the entire restaurant. The kitchen did a great job, the food was worth the visit, and the atmosphere was beautiful. Would we come back? Absolutely. With so many great restaurants in the harbor area, we'd probably explore a few others first, but AJ's is still a solid choice for seafood, oysters, and waterfront dining.

It looked like a nice, relaxing, elevated restaurant we could relax at after a day of excursions. It really wasn't that. After spending most of our days eating at the themed surf restaurants that decorate with shark heads, surfboards and tiki lights. We had hoped this would be a change, it's really not. It may not be grossly decorated with those tiki-style items, but most certainly is that same type of restaurant. It's not elegant, it's not elevated and its most certainly, not relaxing. The food was very good, the service from our waitress, Savannah was mediocre. She seemed bored or maybe having a bad night and was doing her best to cover it with a smile. We ate up at the skybar which does have a very lovely view. The high-top table and chairs are uncomfortable. My wife and I had to come off the chairs to stand next to the table for a few moments because the chairs were so uncomfortable. As far as their food goes, I had the shrimp tacos. They were made with very fresh tasting ingredients and the shrimp wasdelicious. At least the 2 pieces per taco they came with. Most of what was in the taco was just the filling. $22.00 for two tacos I expected more shrimp. My wife's Grouper Moreno and the conch fritter appetizer were both delicious. Dessert was the salted caramel cheesecake which was good, but ridiculously sweet (as you'd expect it to be) Overall, the food was very good though the tacos could have included more shrimp then they did. The service was just okay. The restaurant itself is nice, but not the quiet relaxing place it looks like on their website. It's just another surf themed style restaurant, without all the gaudy decorations.
