The seasoning is just right ( you can order it how you want it), and the service is excellent. The prices are a little high, but reasonable because the food is worth it. The establishment is always clean. I highly recommend the steamed seafood.

Food and drinks are on point, we both ordered their Smoky Old Fashioned and the tacos as well as their staple Wagyu hamburger! Service was great and our waitress Erin was really friendly and checked on us often which was really nice! While they have expanded, reservations are a must if you're looking at bringing in a large group for dinner. Their menu is a revolving one so what some may have one night could differ another. If your in Destin and looking for a nice place for dinner or a libation this place definitely worth checking out!!

My aunt has lived in Niceville for over 30 years and strongly recommended this place when we were…read morediscussing dinner options. Due to the heat, we asked to be seated inside, though the patio was quite large. The staff was so, so kind and accommodating. I can't have gluten and asked about specific menu items that would be okay. Anything fried is in shared oil with breaded items, so there's a risk of cross contamination. The waiter recommended the shrimp boil as an option, and oh my gosh. It was SO good. My husband and mom each had a hamburger. My aunt had the redfish, and my dad had the Reuben. All of our food was excellent. My meal took the longest to eat since I had to peel my shrimp. I wouldn't mind sitting outside once the weather cools off a bit. This was a terrific suggestion from my aunt! Also, you can buy t-shirts for $20 each. We got ours. We will definitely be back!

I didn't want anything heavy so I got the spinach salad with blackened redfish. The food came out really quick and it was alright... Not the best salad I've had, but solid. My one gripe (which is a big one) is that the bill was $37 (w/ tip) for just the salad and and iced tea... Yikes.

If you're looking for a new sandwich spot in the SRB/30A area, this one is worth checking out…read more Everything is made fresh to order, and I appreciate that they offer several bread options instead of limiting you to the standard hoagie roll. The staff is consistently friendly, and while this place can get pretty busy, they do a great job keeping the line moving without making you feel rushed. The atmosphere is casual and welcoming, with TVs showing the latest sports and music to keep things lively while you wait. If you enjoy a cold brew with your sandwich, you'll also find a solid selection of draft and bottled beers to choose from. Fresh ingredients, friendly service, and a relaxed vibe make this a great addition to the local dining scene.

Upon arrival, I'll be honest, I didn't expect much. SO glad I was wrong. This was one of my…read morefavorite spots while were there. And it was a welcomed break from seafood. We came here and the wonton appetizer was amazing. We had a burger, a patty melt, and I got the buffalo chicken sandwich. Our waitress was attentive, and checked on us in a reasonable amount of time. She was good with meeting our needs and bringing back items requested. The atmosphere is welcoming, the music they play is amazing and inclusive to all and the people were are all welcoming. First off, food came out piping hot, and they have these unique fries and they were amazing. This spot definitely exceeded my expectations and I will gladly return on our next visit to Destin.

The space has a cool indoor/outdoor setup, and the night we went they had live music, which made the whole place feel really lively. We sat inside but could still enjoy the music while catching some basketball games. The menu leans Mediterranean and everything looked incredible. We started with the tzatziki, shrimp wonton rolls, and potstickers. All three were great, but the shrimp wonton rolls were my favorite. For my main, I ordered the grilled shrimp pita (loaded with shrimp) with fries--definitely hit the spot. Around the table we also had burgers, a Mediterranean bowl, and pork belly tacos, and everyone loved their meals. We were so full we didn't even make it to dessert. Overall, great vibe, great food, and a fun atmosphere. Definitely worth checking out--just plan on taking an Uber or Lyft since parking is limited.

Tried CJ's for the first time, for a (local) dinner alternative. Yes, it's a pub/bar, but they…read morepromise good food. Nice (but cramped) pub feel, but limited pub menu. Our first turn-off was the waitress telling us she had to keep our credit card during the meal (for a "tab" - though we only drank water.) The food took a long time to arrive, and it was decent, but salty. We didn't come to drink alcohol, or to watch sports on many TVs. Just not the vibe we were looking for. Your mileage may vary.

I'm always leery about Mexican food - it tends to be heavier than I would like and I often just assume it might be low quality. Because of that pre-disposition, its not very often that a Mexican restaurant impresses me but this one certainly did. First off, my husband and I ordered margaritas and when they asked if we wanted small, medium or large we were like - "um...large". Holy cow, are they ever! We should have actually shared one because these things are huge! We each only finished half and they gave us to go cups for the remainder - popped them in the freezer and finishing them off tonight. And not only are they ginormous, but also delicious. A nice amount of tequila and good flavor! For food, we ordered steak fajitas - very good, thought I would have appreciated some guacamole with it. Tacos Birra - second or third time for my husband having these here because he likes them so dang much. And a 3 item combo with 2 soft shell corn tacos and a chile rellano. They were kind enough to allow my son to go slightly off menu with a carnitas taco instead of the basic ground beef or chicken and he very much liked it. My chile rellano was quite good as well. And since the chips and salsa always matter to my husband - we also enjoyed these throughout our meal. In fact, I even liked the salsa and don't usually eat it.

Highly underrated! For a vacation spot in a high rise condo it's great! Staff is super friendly…read more We had the fried shrimp last night which was great with their Tatar sauce. Huge bonus - their old fashions are fantastic and the best deal in the area. (Coming from Ky native) Then tonight had the cheeseburger with mushrooms and bacon. Upside.. $14.99 includes choice of cheese and two toppings. Got the homemade kettle chips with their homemade cilantro / heaven dip. It's close to a ranch but wayyyyy better!! It's crack! And theirs live music. Actually they are known for the pizza, which I'll try next. But seriously.. 4 pieces of bacon on the burger? Hell yeah..
