    On tap - (half the board) - nice selection of Craft brews
    Denny K.

    Positives and negatives as there are for every place on the foodie map. Two positives to begin: centrally located in downtown Fort Walton and very good selection of brews on tap. Food...no/yes...if the next door purveyor of BBQ chooses to be open--yes. Otherwise, BYOF. On the other hand, people come to have a few drinks and play some OVERSIZE games. That's a positive #3. The games like giant Jenga with 2 x 4 pieces, indoor corn hole, old-time shuffleboard (cool), and a few more odds and ends - all adult size. Did I say, Connect Four using saucer-size pucks? Awesome. The one big drawback for me and my friend was the decibel level of the canned music being played. It was overwhelmingly LOUD. We simply could not have any sort of conversation. Place was packed with young people, so an old timer like me might have felt out of place...except that the wait staff is very congenial and welcomes all comers. Good times roll on at the Salty Duck.

    Relaxed place to hang out. Really low key. Games to play and football on tv. Not very busy, and bartender is friendly.

    Lots of craft beer and tvs. From open till about 9-10 the crowd is 30-50's. After that the 21 year olds takeover slowly.

    First time for our party of six here and we came for the band but will be back for the service,…read moreambiance, and food. We had a reservation because the band is a local favorite. We were at the best table in the house. We were a difficult party with three separate checks but no one sat next to or across from their spouse so amazing Josiah (sp) got all our orders right and our checks were all correct too! Being all retired, some of us are hard of hearing and he had to repeat himself several times. Also, we had lots of questions and special needs. Josiah handled us warmly and did an amazing job. Here is how good he is- the stage lights were shining right in our eyes and one of the ladies in our party asked him to turn them down. The eldest of us laughed at her saying the waiter had no control over the band. Next thing we knew, the band's sights and sounds technician stopped at our table and adjusted the lights for us. Wow!!!!

Chris understood what I wanted and the kitchen made it happened. Very good cut of prime rib and was finished the way I like it. Chris was very hospitable and his co-bartender, Ryan was always checking on me to see if I needed something. Both Chris and Ryan provided very good customer service. The prime rib was very good. Good selection of cut, cooked and finished appropriately. Very good flavor and easy to cut. Potatoes were also flavorful and soft without being too mushy. The atmosphere is a bit odd as the building was repurposed, but it doesn't take away from sitting at the bar experience. The restaurant tables are in an open room with a half wall separating the restaurant table area and the bar. Odd, but they make it work. I give food, especially the prime rib, bartender customer service and drinks 5 stars. I'd give the restaurant section a 4 stars for how it's laid out and how loud it could get. I'll round up to a 5 star on this review since Chris and Ryan did a very good job and the food was very good. I recommend Jake & Henry's for a good prime rib and good customer service.

We thought it was fantastic the first time, but even better the second time around. This is a great hidden little spot. The atmosphere is great, small, intimate and very attractive. Both times there was excellent live background music. The first time we had a bass player, last night a vocalist. Both were excellent and at a level that allowed for conversation without shouting. The waiter Brandon is very attentive, extremely friendly and knowledgeable. The wine selection is excellent. Best of all is the charcuterie choices are tremendous. We ordered the medium size (two meats/two cheeses) both times and came home with a to go box. The artist doing the trays does an amazing job. Each includes grapes, nuts, chocolates, cracker etc. Well worth speaking this place out and giving it a try.

However our bathroom definitely needed some upgrades. The bottom of the tub had stains in it and the toilet seat needed to be replaced.
