Chips and queso
Jessica S.

YUM! What a great dinner for our family! We went early (around 5pm on a Friday night) and there was plenty of seating. We got everything from Blackened Grouper Sandwich to Coconut Fried Fish Bites to Chicken Tenders and every single person loved their meal. Seating had a variety of options as well as a fun beach area. The servers were kind and helpful and Junior made sure our visit was amazing. I'll include some pictures but we will definitely be back to enjoy this delicious restaurant on a waterway.

Mahi-Mahi Tacos so good

Went to dinner on the first night of my vacation ( husbands work trip) and wanted something light but good and we found it. Everything was great except the sweet tea wasn't sweet tea at all. I'd go back just for the Grouper Bites so good

The spectacular view!

Jorge is the BEST! Great service and million dollar view along with fresh and delicious food! I had the lobster and shrimp dip along with the grouper bites. Everything was perfect, delicious, and relaxing atmosphere.

Ambiance was great and what we were expecting chill beach vibes. Food was okay. Self service type of Dinning. Order at the window and food is brought to you.

We loved this spot! Best way to kick off our trip. The environment is relaxed, beachy vibes. Super casual. It's a nice set up because you order when you want at the counter and can sit anywhere you want. There's ample seating including shady spots and it's right on the bay so the views are nice. Bar is located in the middle but they also have good iced tea for lunch. Variety of items on the menu which is predominantly seafood but has some non seafood options which we appreciate and wrrr still cooked well. We had swordfish bites, mahi mahi tacos, grilled chicken sandwich with bacon and basil aioli, chicken tenders for the kids and hamburger. Everything was delicious. We will definitely be back.

If you're looking for an open air place to eat, grab a drink and relax on the water, this is your place. They have plenty of parking & seating. It an order your food at the bar and they bring it out kind of place but the food is fantastic. I got the salad with grilled grouper. It was so good I forgot to take a photo of it, so you'll just have to trust me.

Tuna TUNA POKE BOWL
Kim C.

Tuna Bowl and the Orange Crushes were great! Super fun atmosphere! We sat on the couches and they were comfy!

Mahi Mahi tacos and a Surfs Up drink. Such a  great location and excellent service.
Jill T.

Excellent service, cute little merch shop and excellent food and drinks. I'd come back for sure!

Coconut grouper bites, lobster and shrimp roll with little lobster, blackened cobia over cooked, rice was hard not fresh

Food was just okay. Got the coconut grouper bites which were over battered, lobster and shrimp roll which was pre-mixed and didn't taste that good, wife got the blackened cobia with mango salsa and mixed veggies, was a bit over cooked. The atmosphere is fun outside on the water. You order food at window or bar and seat yourself. Was fun to visit with our party of 8 and hang out on the water area for a few drinks.

Great food and ambiance. A bit hot in the summer, as seating is all outside. I'd give it 5 stars if it had beer on tap.

Ask the Community - The Gulf

Is there any indoor air-conditioned seating?

I don't think so. I believe there is an upstairs bar though.

This place looks delicious. If I rent a pontoon in Destin Harbor and decide to get the family lunch, Is there a place to dock or "park" the pontoon boat at this location?

Yes

Came as a recommendation from hotel staff - 2 mins from hotel and well worth it. Got an order of…read morelemon pepper wings and they were excellent! Next time I'm in the area, will try a pizza. Everything looks great from what I saw.

First I called. Was immediately asked to hold for 2 minutes. The girl finally picked up the phone…read moreto take my order 9 minutes later. She did apologize. I went ahead and tried to place my order. The hostess couldn't answer any questions. She didn't know if they had red onions. She don't know if the had ricotta cheese. After I explained they served lasagna so they would have ricotta cheese. She still stuck to the story they didn't have red onions. When she had finished taking my order she asked for my credit card info. I explained I would be paying in cash when I got there. She then refused to take my order after I would not give my credit card number over the phone. I pay in cash because I had someone steal my info in the past just like this. She said I would have to come in if I pay in cash and they would take my order then. Ok. I went up there. After waiting at the bar another 10 minutes for someone to take my order a pretty young lady with a nice smile took my order. She said it would be about 20-25 minutes and when it was ready she would immediately bring it to me. I told her exactly where I would be so she wouldn't have to search me out. She agreed and I sat right outside the front door on the bench to wait for my pizza. After 58 minutes I went in and she had taken my pizza around the other side of the bar and missed me. I finally caught her after she went outside to the other deck looking for me. She explained the wait was so long because the kitchen was slammed. I told her that obviously the pizza had been ready for awhile because it was cold. I could feel the box and everyone knows if a pizza is hot you can feel it through the box. This pizza was probably ready in 20 minutes like she originally said. I should have gone in and checked earlier but she had assured me she would bring it out as soon as it came out of the kitchen. I am usually a good tipper but I do not tip up front like so many servers seem to expect that these days. I will tip accordingly. And this time I did not tip because not only was my pizza cold due to sitting at the bar for long enough to literally get cold but the girl lied to me as to the reason it took so long. It had obviously been ready for quite some time. It probably was a good pizza when it was hot. I also want to add that $32 was extremely high for this puny, cold pizza. I gotta say, I'm not a big fan of this place. After I left I realized that I did not receive a copy of my receipt which I did ask for. I checked and although no one informed me when I placed my to go order they automatically add a tip to the bill. So in addition to the sorry service, sorry cold pizza I was ripped off for a tip that I did not authorize. Normally I would never encourage dine and dash but I sincerely hope they get a dozen dine and dashers since they steal a tip without informing customers. Save your money and stay away from this FUBAR restaurant. I guess we should all have felt forewarned since they state in the name what they are. It lives up to its name.
