    One for the road
    Joseph B.

    Came here on a Monday afternoon to an empty "dive bar". I guess I expected a younger crowd but not so on Monday afternoons. Definitely a local hangout and probably more lively at night or on the weekends. Bottled beer was $3.50. 3 pool tables and a basketball game... looks like a DJ or live music happens here. Guess I'll have to return on a weekend night...

    We couldn't resist double fisting these delicious, cheap "blue drinks."

    Can't say enough about this place if you're looking to have fun. On weekdays they have a $2 drink happy hour from 11-midnight. Get the "blue drink." I guess on weekends this place blows up because that deal goes until 3 A.M. The have a DJ and pool tables and chill bartenders. Go here if you want a less touristy, local Destin experience.

    Great dive bar. Friendly people. Locals so engaging. The place had a bit of an odor but that's the dive bar fun!

    The bartenders always have a smile and make bomb drinks for cheap.

    My bf and I had gone previously with a different captain and had such a great time that we decided…read moreto come back again to celebrate his birthday with a group of 8 people. Unfortunately, this last experience was completely different. The previous captain was interactive, gave us fun history facts, got in the water with us, offered cups/drinks, and really created a fun and welcoming atmosphere. This time around, our captain honestly made the experience uncomfortable and not enjoyable. The energy felt very much like "sit down, be quiet, and I'll just take you there." At one point he even said, "This is my aux, I control the music," which just came off unnecessarily rude and dismissive toward the group. We understand every captain has a different personality, but this experience made us realize how much the captain truly dictates the overall vibe of the trip. We ended up mostly avoiding interaction because it felt awkward, which was disappointing considering this was supposed to be a birthday celebration. On top of that, gratuity was automatically added at $15 per person, so we paid an additional $135 for an experience that honestly lacked hospitality and customer engagement. We love the concept of Tiki and had such a positive first experience, which is why this was so disappointing. I just wanted to provide honest feedback because the difference between captains completely changed the experience for us.

    We chose Harry T's while celebrating my mom's 80th birthday before the fireworks, and unfortunately…read morethe food was the biggest disappointment of the evening. The location and atmosphere are fantastic, but the kitchen simply didn't deliver. The Fried Green Tomatoes lacked the crisp texture you'd expect from such a classic appetizer. My daughter's 8 oz. filet had virtually no seasoning and tasted surprisingly bland, especially considering the price. I ordered the Wedge Salad with fried chicken, and the chicken suffered from the exact same issue--it was nothing more than fried protein with absolutely no flavor. The biggest letdown, however, was the salad dressing. At this price point, I expect a restaurant to serve a fresh, house-made dressing. Instead, it tasted like something poured straight from a jar. A great wedge salad deserves a dressing that complements it, not one that feels like an afterthought. Harry T's certainly has the views and the location, but great scenery can't make up for under-seasoned food and shortcuts in the kitchen. There are too many excellent restaurants in Destin to settle for an average meal. I would recommend looking elsewhere if you're hoping for food that matches the price tag.

    First time for our party of six here and we came for the band but will be back for the service,…read moreambiance, and food. We had a reservation because the band is a local favorite. We were at the best table in the house. We were a difficult party with three separate checks but no one sat next to or across from their spouse so amazing Josiah (sp) got all our orders right and our checks were all correct too! Being all retired, some of us are hard of hearing and he had to repeat himself several times. Also, we had lots of questions and special needs. Josiah handled us warmly and did an amazing job. Here is how good he is- the stage lights were shining right in our eyes and one of the ladies in our party asked him to turn them down. The eldest of us laughed at her saying the waiter had no control over the band. Next thing we knew, the band's sights and sounds technician stopped at our table and adjusted the lights for us. Wow!!!!

    We had a great experience with the service--Madison was absolutely amazing! She was friendly,…read moreattentive, and made us feel welcome from start to finish. She was definitely the highlight of our visit. That said, the food pricing was hard to justify for the location and overall experience. I've dined at fine dining restaurants before, and these prices felt excessive. Charging premium prices for items like a surf and turf that comes with shrimp instead of lobster just didn't match the value. While the food was decent, the cost didn't reflect what was served. I'd return for Madison's outstanding service, but the menu prices would make me think twice.
