The food is amazing and while the place is nothing to look at, they have fresh seafood and their hush puppies tasted great too. It's is self service to line up at the counter to place your order and you get your own drinks but that works out just fine. The place looks more like a bar but there are families eating too so all are welcome. read more

Where Y'AT is my go-to for lunch. I like that: 1) the seafood is fresh, 2) the atmosphere is lively and fun, but not overly loud, 3) although the food is always cooked to order, I can be in and out quickly, and 4) staff are always thought - ful with the condiments, including all that are appropriate for your plate. Finally, the coleslaw, which is usually an afterthought to me, is the best I have ever tasted. It is light, fresh, and seasoned with a dash of DELICIOUS. read more

Where Y'at Seafood - Fried fish - Seafood Markets Near Me - Navarre, Florida

As a born and raised Louisianan, I do not say this lightly: this is hands down the best Cajun food around. I happily make the drive all the way from Destin just to eat here, and it is always worth it. Today I had the pleasure of meeting one of the owners, Courtney (hope I am spelling that right), and he could not have been kinder. Talking with him felt like being back home, pure Louisiana hospitality through and through. For lunch, I started with the fried mushrooms (a solid 1000/10), then ordered the fried shrimp poboy, which is also available blackened or grilled. It came fully dressed with LTM, just like it should, and let me tell you, it was incredible. Bold, authentic flavor in every bite, from the shrimp to the breading to the mushrooms. As if that was not enough, Courtney was generous enough to let me try all three desserts on the menu: banana pudding, bread pudding, and classic beignets. Every single one was fantastic, but the banana pudding stole my heart, absolute perfection. This place is worth every mile and every dollar. The bartenders today were also so kind and helpful (I hate that I did not catch their names). I left beyond satisfied and already looking forward to my next visit. If you are craving real Cajun food and true Southern hospitality, do not think twice. Go. They have outside seating as well. read more

Where Y'at Seafood - Salmon with Crawfish Etouffee - Seafood Markets Near Me - Navarre, Florida

Ok, this is a place that if you look at it from the outside, it will probably make you skeptical of going in. But don't let the shell fool you! They are definitely no joke. They have some of the best Cajun seafood you will ever eat. The food was so good that we bought dinner to take home with us! They are very friendly and the people that were in there were so friendly also. It was like eating around family. We had the red fish blackened and shrimp poboy s and took home the scallop special and the chicken thighs. Everything was delicious and we even bought the seasoning that our fish was cooked in. Oh, the beignets were so delicious and better than any I've had in New Orleans or anywhere else. Please put this one on your definite list because you will become a regular. read more

We tried this hole-in-the-wall on our last evening of vacation. It was recommended by a local. The jambalaya and hush puppies were excellent. It was easily our favorite place in the Navarre area. read more

Appreciate the recommendation from the bartender at Windjammers Bar on Navarre Beach! The Cajun spiced smoked tuna dip was a great appetizer! The dozen raw oysters were a good starter. The crawfish etouffée was good but a bit too salty. The grilled red snapper Po Boy sandwich was simple & delish! The ambiance is dive bar meets crawfish boil. The next time I visit, I'll get the seafood boil cause it looked awesome and most tables were enjoying the boil platters. read more

This is my favorite spot in town. I can't come here without ordering the etouffe! We've tried so many things on the menu and everything has always been delicious. The shrimp is always perfect, as is the catch of the day, and the sausage! They're got a great selection of beers, the outdoor seating is spacious, they're got a play area, and if you're lucky, you'll get treated to some good live music. Don't miss out on where y'at! read more

After spending 5 years in Louisiana, I have found that almost all crawfish I have had out of the state is not good. Luckily, where Y'at is not one of them and conveniently way closer vs. Cubs. Crawfish were large, as expected mid season, and definitely has that Cajun spice/heat to it. Pricy but not the worst I've seen ($7.99/lb). Definitely better than cubs/others in the area and the rest of their menu gives that homey Cajun/creole soul food feel. Will definitely be going back! read more

This is the best kept secret in Navarre. It looks like a dive from the outside, but the food is AMAZING! Seating is sometimes difficult, but on a nice day, you can also eat at the outside tables. And save room for dessert! The beignets are out of this world! read more

This is totally a dive-so it's a little grubby and rough around the edges...BUT MAN are they kicking out some delicious and under reviewed food...and it's coming from a food truck outback! We came here not expecting much if I'm being honest...but they had me after seeing a photo of their onion rings, so off we went. We walked out stuffed to the gills and still talking about the food 3 days later...here I sit write this review. Service was great-super polite and chatty. They'll tell ya anything you want to know if you're nice and they aren't slammed. We went on an off night during the off season, so it was a more chill vibe. Everything was fresh, made to order, crispy and piping hot! All of our seafood was prepared perfectly and all the sauces are made in-house. Everything was seasoned properly and full of it too! *chefs kiss* Don't expect to be waited on-it's an order at the counter and get your stuff yourself kinda spot...they will deliver the food to your table but if you need something you gotta go ask back inside or get it yourself at the side counter. Things we also ate but didn't get a picture of: Gumbo-delish Crab Chowder-super delish (2) extra baskets of onion rings-judge me!! Would come back here in a heart beat!! read more

The food and service are great. It isn't much to look at but I've found that the local "hole in the wall" restaurants often have the best food. Inside is small but there is plenty of room outside to eat. My go-to place for crawfish near Milton. read more

Food is a Must-Try when you're in Navarre Fl! Crawfish done the right way, no sauce topper. The food is season and cooked perfectly. Ambiance is perfect when you're on a beach vacation. Food service is prompt. They insure you're getting the food hot. The only con I see is the self serve drinks, water and getting your own menu. read more

First time coming here and decided to go try it based on what other yelp reviews said. Because of that I knew that you order at the counter then go sit down. I don't recall there being any signs of how/where to order and I noticed several folks come in and looking around a bit confused about what to do. Now the good stuff- the food! When we pulled in I thought hmm this is a little hole in the wall place but again, read good reviews so in we went. Husband had a half fried oyster po'boy - fiend had half shrimp po'boy- and I had the kids shrimp and fries and an order of beignets for the table. The portion sizes were very generous. I would highly suggest if you are there with someone who is getting the same po'boy you are -order the whole size for $5 more and split it- My fried shrimp were better than the way more expensive place we ate at the night before. All of our first times trying beignets....YUMMMM I'm glad I only got 6 because I would have eaten all of them if there was extra. All of the staff that we talked to were super nice. Would recommend trying if you are in the area. read more

Where Y'at Seafood - Seafood Markets Near Me - Navarre, Florida

Growing up in New Orleans we're accustomed to a certain quality of Cajun foods. There was a group of us who got together and met at Where Y'at's. My friends Wendy and Mark frequent the place and know the owner and his backstory. Evidently, Courtney settled in the Navarre area after Hurricane Katrina. It was about 12 of us in the group, all of which grew up in and around the New Orleans area and Slidell. We all cook very well ourselves. Most people do who grow up New Orleans ha ha. I was quite surprised and pleased at Mark's suggestions. Courtney was due to bring in some fresh grouper which is a favorite of min every time I go to the Florida. Love those grouper sandwiches! I chose a group of poor boy which I've never had. We usually get them on bones in Florida. They had Leidenheimer bread, which is another local favorite. I actually saw Courtney bring the grouper out and put it in the counter where they also sell fresh "catch of the day". The grouper was fried to perfection! Mark & Wendy suggested I try the onion rings. Typically onion rings are over coated with breading. Not my fave. However, these were the best I've ever had and I've had quite a few. The batter was very light and did not take away from the onion flavor. You have sometimes you abide into an onion ring in the whole onion comes out the ring stays not in this case. I'm salivating thinking of them. And Mark & Wendy kept raving about the red beans and rice. Do you know anything about New Orleans? You know everyone makes their own version of gumbo and red beans and rice. I have to hand it to them, they are dead most of my friends, red beans and rice...ha ha darn near close to mine! Several in our party had never tasted maque choux, which I find interesting. It was a staple in my community. It's Cajun twist on cream corn. One must try it to fully appreciate it. Although my versions a bit creamier, their's hit the mark. We usually make a yearly trip to Navarre in this will definitely be a stop. We won't miss. Next time I'll bring a quart of each back to the beach house! The ambience and the place is typical small venue hidden gem that only locals in New Orleans would know about, if it were in New Orleans. The employees are super friendly, even as busy as they were, which ought to tell you something right there. I hear there's an outdoor area where music is played in tables are set up. I'm sorry I didn't get a chance to check it out. Bon appétit should you venture for and try a taste of New Orleans in Navarre! You will not be dissatisfied read more

My G'daughter was visiting from DC during spring break, had researched Where Y'at and was anxious to go. We got there around 4pm, before the dinner crowd and was 3rd in line to order - waited about 15 minutes. She ordered the 2lb crawfish boil w/o sausage, I ordered shrimp basket at about $20 each plus an appetizer. Well at about 11pm she began vomiting and had diarrhea, non-stop! I immediately thought FOOD POISONING - the CRAWFISH!! I was ok from my shrimp meal and fried mushrooms app. She was scheduled to fly back to DC at 6am - which I had to reschedule (pay change fee). She continued vomiting and diarrhea throughout the day, we still go to the airport for 7:30pm Flt anyway but Delta didn't think she should fly - again canceled her flight. BTW, she had sprained her ankle prior to arrival and was on a knee scooter. I nurse her and returned to the airport the next day, she feels much better. I now call Where Y'at, request the Mgr and leave a VM - no reply after 2 days. I call again - VM ... I do finally get a call from Mgr. Courtney. I explain everything and request a refund for the crawfish - only. We had spent $63.xx and I was requesting $23 refund ... this Mgr. went back and forth with me about it not being food poisoning. No one else complained and how would they survive if they refunded money to everyone complaining ... DUH, what about good business practice!? She finally offered us a complimentary meal - I told her again that my G'daughter was back in DC and I'd NEVER come back to their restaurant!! I've gotten food poisoning from another seafood restaurant and thought it was a new allergy - Allergist said very often in this area Restaurants will serve BAD seafood ... thus I had food poisoning NOT allergy. I recently had dinner with a friend and she too purchased BAD seafood from Where Y'at, felt ignored and said she'd never go there again either! REMEMBER, BAD NEWS STAYS AROUND AND CIRCULATES QUICKLY. read more

Service was good for a little local restaurant. Restaurant's interior is nothing amazing but it does not need to be with the quality of the food setting the stage.

Definitely will be back when in the area. read more

Wow! Wow! Paradise in paradise. Listen ya'll this is a basic place. Great food. Great service. Basically delicious. Huge portions. Fresh. I bought their spice blend. Clove. Black Pepper. Not exactly Cajun. Not exactly anything but fantastic. They have a little fresh seafood market inside. Lots of spices and hot sauces. Beer. Sodas. Tea. We had: Blue crab Viet-Cajun shrimp, could have been just a bit spicier! The BLT Snow crab The 24 hour marinated fried chicken Hushpuppies, so moist! Perfection. Fried shrimp, very lightly battered! Fried mushrooms, some of the best I have ever had. And I eat them if they are on a menu. Bravo. We'll be back again and again. read more

First timers here as we always pass it going to Milton and so happy we stopped by for a late lunch at 1:30 pm. The 6-7 inside tables were still filled with customers and several seats were open on the counter/bar. They also have outside covered tables with more customers. These are what we ended up ordering and we were not disappointed. Glad we opted for 1/2 Po boys as they were filled with all the fixins' and love that it was also toasted. The staff was very friendly and no one stood around. Everyone was busy moving around cooking or serving . What a great menu with a variety of seafood. Look like the crawfish was a big winner as most of the tables had this dish on it. There's also pre bagged crab boil seasonings for sale along with an iced case full of fresh fish and shellfish. We definitely won't be passing this place ever again without making a pit stop! read more

A FAVORITE STOP. The food is so good at this perfectly splendid small and inviting "hole-in-the-wall"seafood restaurant / fresh market. I've had the Royal Red shrimp, which reminds me of baby lobsters , and the crawfish special which was worth the mess of cleaning to eat! The key to any meal is their garlic butter!! They offer soda and tea, plus beer to drink. I wanted the beignets, but I got the yummy bread pudding instead! #allworthit Sorry no pictures because I scarfed it down! Oh, and the service is great, but they do ask you to tip up-front after you order and pay at the bar. I can't wait to come back in the summer and sit outside and eat to live music. read more

We traveled to Navarre Beach for a week to enjoy the beach and fresh seafood. With the many options the Gulf Coast has to offer, we are so happy we found the best in Where y'at. We actually ate here three times this week because the food was so good. We search out local spots and try to find authentic hole-in-the-wall places that are the staple of a community. This place is so amazing, and everything is cooked to perfection. The freshness of all the seafood was the highlight, and they have mastered the side dishes that complement the fish, shrimp, and crawfish. The blackened catch of the day (grouper, black drum, and cobia) was amazing and cooked perfectly. The maque choux is the best side dish I have ever eaten and screams French Quarter! We finished our experience with beignets that were phenomenal as well. They have a fresh seafood market as well that you can take home to enjoy. The staff from the owner down are so friendly and welcoming that you feel like family. So happy we found this gem and can't wait to come back. read more
