Every time we go to St Joe's Beach we make sure to eat at Killer Seafood. The food is always excellent and the people working there are the best. I have a shrimp allergy but the shrimp in simmer sauce is worth the itching. The only bad thing I can say about the place is that it's usually packed. We were lucky enough to get a table Sunday at lunch. Now 3 days later Hurricane Michael comes through and I heard Killer Seafood didn't make it. I hope that's not the case. Mexico Beach is such a great place with great people. read more

Killer Seafood - The walls are covered with customer's dollars. - Seafood Near Me - Mexico Beach, Florida

We visited in September 2017. Very disappointed in the fact that everything was fried and had way too much grease. Everything, and I mean "everything" tasted the same. No choice in seating with family/friends only. Limited seating in a small building. We won't go back. I can't believe how sad the food really was. read more

Well this place keeps getting the awards. Recently it was named one of the best local "dives" in the USA in of the seafood mags. That's not why we go. We live nearby and we are picky about our food and this place gets our business a lot. In particular I like the Tuna soft tacos. I love good sauces and the taco sauce is perfect for their fried-to-perfection fries as well. You should also try the shrimp - my daughter says this is the only place that does them right. And the bread bowls are excellent. They are also doing whole fried lion fish right now. Enjoy. But come early. It's a dive, remember, and it's kind of small but don't let the building spoil your fun. read more

I was really looking forward to some great fish tacos. I was extremely disappointed. I specifically asked if there were nice chunks of fish and was guaranteed there was. There were a scant amount of what looked like dime sized nuggets. Not only was there no flavor but way to over priced for naught! Would not recommend at all! read more

Deep fried shrimp and their award winning keylime pie is a must!! Small restaurant get there early for table. Great staff and delicious food. read more

Great food! The kids were tried after a long day of swimming and the beach so we ordered take out. The shrimp grouper and crab cakes were outstanding!! They did a great job of adding in extra cocktail and tarter sauces as well. We will definitely be back next summer. read more

Yep! This is a favorite of the locals, the snow birds, vacationing folks, and military folks at Tyndall AFB. I see why. We got the Killer Tacos and a scallop basket with hushpuppies and slaw. It did not disappoint! The portions were plentiful, the food was delicious. We did not have room for dessert but have heard their Key Lime pie is out of this world! Finally, the service was probably the best we have encountered on our trip! Everyone was very attentive with refills and providing recommendations. I hope we have time to go back this visit! *** Note: This place is cash only! read more

We've been to Mexico Beach twice this year, eating at Killers both times. Highly recommend, excellent food. Only downside is the "cash only" requirement. This can be challenging for tourists with limited cash on hand. read more

Well, we were really looking forward to this restaurant, but very disappointed. We were obviously new, but no one offered to let us in one the secrets.... 1. you must find your own table (it is dark and it was crowded!, yes I know it is small, but it is dark and the only available table was at the back 2. you must pick up your own menus, 3. after you get your menu, then you must go place your order (no, i'm not lazy and I don't mind doing this, but NO ONE explained the operation here!) We had the fresh catch, market price, grouper. The grouper was the best thing we had, but it was unseasoned (no salt in cooking it), the coleslaw had an odd flavor, which I could not figure out, and the hush puppies were ok, but nothing to rave about. Also, when ready to go, you must go the bar to pay (they keep your ticket there). read more

We were referred by a local that said to try the grouper tacos , which we really liked . Nice option to have topped with either lettuce and tomato or with slaw so we went with the slaw - really really good . My husband really liked them and said he wishes they had 3 tacos instead of just the two. Small place with good food so I'd recommend it as well . Reminder : cash only read more

Fried shrimp basket amazing delicious grilled cobia...recommend both! Hush puppies are worth taking any leftovers home! Some of the best I've had in years! Y.U.M.! read more

I went to Killer Seafood with my son today for lunch. Every time we vacation in Mexico Beach we visit this place. It was another great experience and Killer bowl and puppies were awesome. This year I'm taking home some sauce to enjoy later in the summer. Great food and service. read more

Long wait times, small building with about 10 tables inside, our waitress failed to give refills. But it gets 4 stars only because the food was good. read more

Absolutely awesome food and service. The fish tacos were outstanding as was the shrimp bread bowl. We went for lunch and it was somewhat busy but got a table outside. The server was extremely nice. If you don't like seafood, of course this isn't the place for you. But if you do, definitely go eat here. read more

I got the fish tacos and my wife got the seafood bowl and both were excellent. We went for lunch and the place was busy. The service was great and the food was out fast. Try the tacos. They only take cash. read more

Wow,have not been in awhile,delicious soft she'll crab,shrimp basket,and THE KILLER SEAFOOD BREAD BOWL,with shrimp and scallops,to die for.Also great service,and the key lime pie,awesome.We are locals,we are fortunate to have KILLER SEAFOOD as a go to place.Thankyou read more

After so many favorable reviews, we were expecting much more from this restaurant. For us, it wasn't killer at all. My wife's fresh grouper dinner was not good. It was over cooked, the cole slaw was awful and the fries were way too salty. She said it tasted like fast food. My shrimp bowl with rice in their simmering sauce was pretty good but not anything really special. There sure was a lot of it in a huge bowl though. For the cost of this dinner, just under $40, it was way over priced. The service was just average. We will not return. read more

Stopped in for lunch while house hunting in Mexico beach. The first thing I noticed was the music. They were playing a song that is in steady rotation on my iPod but I don't know any other humans who know of the band much less that particular song. I asked and they said they were playing satellite radio because you can't get music like that on the radio here. Huh. I'll take it as a good omen. The other yelp reviews and the lady who helped me recommended the fish tacos. Against my better judgment I ordered them. Though I think fish tacos sound interesting I have been unimpressed by them the few times i have had them in other parts of the country. But, what's life for if not to learn the same lessons over and over? This turned out to be a new lesson though. That lesson is that THESE FREAKING FISH TACOS ARE AWESOME! Even if you don't think you like fish tacos, you've got to try them. The sad part is I may never try anything else there because I'll always get those fish tacos. BOOOOYAAA!!!! read more

My family and I moved here back in 2015 and decided to try this restaurant while in Mexico Beach. The wait wasn't bad, the hostess took our orders and seated us. Our server was a bit short with us but she could of been having a bad day, other servers picked up what she lacked by refilling our drinks, and checking on us. I had the 2 combo with the fresh catch, and the crab cake. Their hush puppies were my favorite though, they have a bit of a kick. We also got a slice of pecan and a slice of key lime pie. They even heated up the pecan pie! Our total was 68 for four people including dessert. Definitely will be back! read more

In the world of fish tacos, Killer Seafood is sort of a big deal. I've eaten all varieties of these delicious little pockets of flavorful delight, and I honestly can not remember enjoying one more than the one I ate 3 minutes ago. The tortilla was surprisingly high quality, and the grilled tuna was UNGH (onomatopoeia) good. Please please please cover and smother whatever you order in their house made Hot Sauce, as it's not actually hot but rather garlic-ish and vinegar-ish and contributes on so many levels to your dining experience. Whatever is your spirituality, you'll be thanking your personal version of God or the devil for such a wonderful, not quite forbidden, piece of passionate gustatory satisfaction. And hey, the beer is cold too. read more

Probably my favorite restaurant in Mexico Beach. I really love the fish tacos, but everything I've tried has been delicious. Super friendly staff. Cash only, but worth the ATM fee if you have to go that route! Besides a bit of a wait this place is pretty near perfect! read more

We were treated very poorly here and ended up walking out after two hours of waiting and the hostess accidentally giving away our table twice. This place has rude employees, bad service, cash only, long waits, and is not for groups at all. We are a family of seven and they acted like it was a HUGE inconvenience for us to be there. Go down the road to Toucans and have some real service and family time. We won't be back; that's for sure. read more

Stopped for lunch, we had our two Cairn Terriers with us so we sat on the patio. The server brought a bowl of water out for the pups with our drinks. We both ordered the fried shrimp basket, and everything was excellent. The shrimp we're lightly breaded, and were some of the best I've ever ate. The entire staff was very friendly, and even if we we're not their table they checked to be sure we had everything we needed. Our new go to place when we're in this area. read more

The staff here could not be more rude.... except for Hal who helped us get a great table. The servers, however, could learn a lot from a customer service class. Telling a customer that"you're killing me" while I'm trying to move out of your way is RUDE in case you didn't know. The words "thank you" and a smile could go a long way. Maybe you don't work for tips here, that could be a mistake. $1.00 tips could get old. Mexico Beach is growing, watch out Killer Seafood, you will get pushed out with that sad service. read more

Actually rating the management instead of food since we were told they didn't want our business since they already had a wait. How does a restaurant at the beach, during the summer, close before it even gets dark. Will not be back. read more

Great beach food experience. Be aware - cash only. There's an ATM next door, but you probably want to get cash on your way. We had the Shrimp and Scallop Killer Seafood dish - and it was great. Be aware that this is almost a shrimp and scallop soup over pasta or rice. Everyone enjoyed it. Service was perfect. Our orders were taken 5 minutes before our table was ready, so when we sat down, the wait was minimal. Beer was cold. Fish salad appetizer was fresh and obviously home made. We have a new #1 in the Port St. Joe area. read more

Best fish tacos. Ever. Ever. Ever. Great shrimp too. If you're in the area, you need to eat at Killer Seafood!

CASH ONLY!!!!!! Excellent seafood. I had the fresh caught grouper special and my wife had the grouper fish tacos. My fish was some of the best grouper I've had, thick portion, not over breaded, and obviously freshly caught. The tacos were the same. The fries and hushpuppies were ok, and completely overshadowed by the grouper. The hot sauce on the table was the biggest surprise -- obviously home made, not very hot, with a definite horseradish taste. So good we bought a bottle to take home. Prices are what I would consider normal for a beach restaurant : $15 for the grouper, hushpuppies and fries. $10 for two fish tacos. While the portions seemed small for the price at first, I was stuffed by meal's end and the I don't mind paying for excellent food, which this was. Remember, cash only. read more

A fantastic place with a great local vibe. The staff are very friendly and take pride in their food. We sat at the bar and talked to the staff. We listened to the guy at the door who greets you and only allows people in based on the size. Plan to wait if you get here after 6p. We had the catch of the day (grouper) tacos on corn tortillas with cole slaw as well as the tuna tacos with lettuce and tomato. Our sides were French fries and hush puppies. This is a low key place that has minimal seating with great good. A must stop. Cash only. read more

on our first attempt to eat here we were turned away because they were closing in 15 min. on our second attempt the waitress was so rude i almost walked out. i had the grouper (that only comes fried) with the cole slaw and fries. it was equivalent to eating a meal at Captain Ds or Long John Silvers. we then patiently waited for our check when another woman comes over and rudely tells us that we had to go to the register. i seriously have no idea how this place is in business other than the fact that there aren't a lot of choices in MB read more

Best fish tacos in Bay County (including homemade hot sauce)! Good beer. Casual, comfortable ambiance. Reputable family-owned business -- a favorite of the locals. Cash only though! There is an ATM at Gulf Foods next-door. read more

Fish tacos were as great as reported (go easy on the cheese, though). The Killer Bowl (oysters, scallops, or shrimp) is amazing - the sauce is drool-worthy. Friendly owners and staff. So glad this place exists. read more

My favorite place to eat in Mexico Beach. From grilled fish tacos to fried whole fish to scallops simmered with rice and spicy tomato sauce -- if it's seafood, and you get it from Killer, it's going to be amazing. They've always got a Catch of the Day which is anything they pull from the Gulf or bay that is in season. Last time I went, they had whole lionfish and soft shell crab. Service is great, food is always fresh and hot. read more

This place is AWESOME!!!! We went there after seeing all of the great reviews on here & we were not disappointed! The first night I shared a soft-shell crab & crab cake basket with my son..... BEST soft shell crab I have EVER had!!! We went back for lunch the following day & I got the Tacos with cole slaw on them...... OMG Can you say Heaven? BEST fish tacos I have EVER had (& I'm pretty picky!) Everyone in our party was happy with their food every time!!!! Our family just purchased property in the area & we are already planning to eat there daily on our future visits! :) My daughter wanted me to also add she was glad to see the employees are all UGA fans there as well! LOL *****JUST REMEMBER CASH ONLY************ read more

Wonderful seafood in a casual atmosphere. You sit, choose from the menu, then place your order at the counter. I've seen this before and it doesn't bother me a bit, especially if the seafood is as good as it was at this place. I ordered the grouper tacos and they were simply awesome! One issue was my husband ordered the grilled Wahoo po boy and they brought him a fried grouper po boy, which they comped us for. Totally appropriate. My advice is the owner (who actually took the order) slow down and actually listen to what is being said to her. I was standing right there and heard my husband order his food quite plainly, so I don't know who screwed up, but she came over to our table to somewhat debate the issue. We could have done without that encounter. Awesome seafood, perfectly cooked at prices you would expect to pay for quality. read more

This was a great experience for someone being from the Midwest. I love seafood and their menu definitely accommodated my hunger for it. The atmosphere was really nice. The seating is limited so make sure you allow yourself some wait time. read more

This place was such a disappointment. Crab cakes were more like flat, burned hush puppies, not really sure if they even had any crab in them. I didn't eat them, ordered the grouper basket to go and told them I wasn't happy with the crab cakes. The guy at the register offered no apologies or anything. It was like.. just give me your money and go away.... Our sever was a young kid ,but he was decent. We had a party of 9 and he kept us good on drinks and such. Ended the meal with $157.oo bill with 3 of us totally dissatisfied.. We won't be going back.. read more

Fish tacos. Fresh fish. Shrimp basket. All fantastic. Very good. Definitely killer key lime pie. Man, good food.

My favorite place for scallops. Usually dine here 3 times every trip. Po boys, soft shell crab, local catch also.

Excellent seafood and service! They have great fish tacos and what they call their "Killer" shrimp, mussels, scallops. It is a spicy broth with the seafood in it, then they put rice or pasta and serve with a homemade bread to sop up the juice. Very tasty! It is a hoppin' joint and they have a system of keeping the tables filled then emptied to seat the maximum number of people. Interesting decor, divey, and an interesting cooking, delivery, and service system. Definitely a must eat place in Mexico Beach. Bring cash. read more
