Came here for lunch and it was a nice place off the ocean. Our waiter Autumn was the best. She handled our group of 12 with ease. The gumbo got rave reviews. I ordered the spicy grouper club. The fish was seasoned well and the slaw on it was good, but it was just so much of it and it made the sandwich bread soggy and messy to eat. Staff was great and would recommend.

This place was suburb! The service was top notch! Everything tasted so delicious. We will be going back!

Ate here for dinner. Beautiful views over locking the dock and see the boats moving about. We had great service while eating the cheeseburger and sushi roll. The sushi was the biggest one I've ever had and absolutely packed with seafood. Did not have enough to pay to park.

Came during holiday season closer to closing time and we had a great meal. Our server was attentive. Great place to grab some fried fish and sushi! Unique offerings as many places we see are offering sushi on their menu. No complaints. Fried shrimp platter was great, added on a fried fish filet. Sushi was and rice wasn't mushy.

Beef and broccoli

I love Harbor Docks and try to visit whenever I am in town. I would give them a solid 4.5 b/c I feel like their prices are very expensive (and keep going up) but since we can't do half points I rounded up to 5 stars. The restaurant is huge, upstairs, downstairs, and back porches on the water. I love eating outside. Service is fast and very to the point. Fish of the day was grouper and 3 of us ordered it. My daughter had a kids grilled fish meal which was about $14 but came with a nice piece of grouper and grits. My husband had the grouper tacos and I had the grouper club. I wouldn't call it a club since it was more of a simple sandwich, no lettuce, tomato, onion, just bacon, cheese, and slaw. The thick bacon was good but overpowered the fish-which was fried but would have been better grilled. It was also super pricey at around $32. I wouldn't order it again but would definitely try grilled grouper next time. My other daughter got sushi and loved it. I have had the Thai food here multiple times and it is always delicious too. Highly recommend trying the key lime pie for dessert! Be sure to go to the fishing docks behind the restaurant afterwards. It's a fun place to watch the boats and see the sunset.

Sushi - took longer than it should, but worth it!!!

Monday evening, advised we'd have to wait 45 min - to an hour, but we actually were seated in 20 minutes. Seated inside but could see the pier outside and the pretty view! Exhausted from a long sunny day, Lily was our energetic server, full of positivity and enthusiasm. My daughter really responded well to her and said she's so cool! Kudos for acknowledging the kids, bc they like the interaction. Moving to food, jt was worth the wait! I ordered the gulf grouper, kids split a cheeseburger, along w sushi and my husband ordered the swordfish and grits... definitely recommend the green tomatoes w GOAT CHEESE!!!! And I agree w Lily, one of the best key lime pies... the right amount of filling to crust ratio and not too tart! We will be back!

Summer Roll and Rainbow Roll
Tyler H.

Phenomenal spot right by the water. Friends recommended this place which has a lot of fusion foods. Yoshi the head sushi chef has been here a long time according to my friends. We started off with some Japanese beers and appetizers. I recommend the tuna dip, shrimp, and pot stickers. They were phenomenal. We went on a busy Friday night so we had to wait for a while but it was so worth it. The vibes were great inside and the energy was buzzing. Talk about freshly caught fish right into your sushi roll. These hand rolls were phenomenal. You could taste the freshness of the fish in each bite. Great spot- will definitely be back

Do they have a happy hour?

Do they not have breakfast anymore?

They open at 11 AM for your breakfast.

What is the "least busy night", or does such a thing exist? I have a compromised immune system and am trying to find the best night to go where I will not have a long wait with lots of people since they do not take reservations.

We sat outside, enjoyed the live music, and the atmosphere was perfect for a group celebration. Service was quick and attentive, especially considering how busy they were. Food wise, the pimento cheese dip was unfortunately not a hit for our group. It had a very thick, almost paste like consistency and was difficult to spread. I also ordered the corn and crab bisque, and personally was not a fan of the sweeter flavor. For my meal, I ordered the summer salad and absolutely loved it. I finished every bite. Our server also highly recommended the first three fish options on the menu, and everyone who ordered fish completely cleaned their plates. Portion sizes were very generous. The only issue we had was the bride's steak being overcooked, but the manager personally came over, addressed it, and made sure everything was taken care of. Overall, great atmosphere, live music, generous portions, and solid service. A fun spot for groups and celebrations!

The restaurant is very large with indoor and outdoor dining areas, and it is casual, but classy. Overall, we had a great experience. The host was fine; however, lacked empathy and customer service skills. He was a full 30 seconds ahead of us, and if we wouldn't have been tracking him with our eyes, we wouldn't have known where to sit. By the time we got to the table, he was nowhere to be found; however, the menus were in a pile on the table. Our server, on the other hand, was very pleasant. He was kind, caring and kept us informed and checked in on us frequently. The table shared the crab cakes and the blue crab claws, both of which were very good. Of course, the complimentary hush puppies are definitely a hit as well. For my entree I had the Grouper Louisianne. It was a tasty piece of fish, that came with a great side salad and a super delicious twice baked potato. Other than the host, the other reason for the minus one star, was the unusually long time it took between the salad course and the main course. It was a full 20 minute wait, after we were done with our salads, for the main course to arrive. Otherwise, I would likely try the restaurant again at a future time, if something brought me back to the area.

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.

While vacationing in Destin, Florida, we decided to try The Back Porch, a beachfront restaurant…read morelocated just outside our resort. This place is always busy, so I recommend arriving early. They also have a charming gift shop that's worth checking out. The restaurant was clean, well-managed, and organized despite the crowd. We were seated within five minutes, and our table was greeted immediately for drink orders. Our server, Ethan, was excellent--attentive, efficient, and friendly throughout the meal. I ordered the Surf & Turf, featuring a 14-ounce ribeye and snow crab legs, along with coleslaw and lemon dill rice. The steak was cooked very well, though it could have used a little more seasoning. The snow crab legs were sweet and flavorful, especially dipped in the melted butter. The coleslaw was fresh and delicious, and the lemon dill rice was the perfect accompaniment, soaking up all the flavors from the steak and crab. This was the perfect spot for our group to gather after a long day at the beach. The atmosphere, service, and location made for a wonderful dining experience. Rating: 4/5 stars My only critiques would be that the prices were a bit steep and the food could have benefited from a little more seasoning. Overall, it was a great experience, and I would gladly return.

Everything we ordered looked like it came from a pre-made grab and go cafeteria. and just slapped on our plates with tongs. The top of my twice baked potato was dry. Mashed potatoes were plain. Onion rings were greasy and limp - actually dripped grease out as I took a bite. Fries were not fresh. The fish tacos looked reasonably fresh, but the fish itself was dry. The"bucket" drink is basically $25 for pineapple juice that had gone bad three days ago. Super disappointing. This is the 6th meal we have eaten in the Destin area, the most expensive so far and least worth it. The only saving grace is if you are lucky enough to be sat next to the open air windows - windy, but great view. Oh - and they have a gluten free menu, which is the first we've seen here all week and very much appreciated.
