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!

It was too dry but we were hoping our toddler would eat it. The green bean medley was good as just a simple veg side. It's long beans with mushrooms and onions. The onions and mushrooms i could've passed on but it wasn't over seasoned which is what I needed The twice baked potato was good, very cheesy and I think it has bacon in it The grilled fish sandwich was great. Nice sized fish & the Cole slaw is good here, almost fruity. It came with a ton of fries that were cooked well. The bread is soft & the tartar sauce went well with it The crabs were cooked perfectly and so sweet. I almost wish we'd have gotten an extra cluster for $18. It's always busy at this place. They told us 35 mins for the wait but it took maybe 20. It filled up as we left though. They have a gift shop and beach access to entertain you while you wait + a loud speaker so you can hear them call for you. The lot is across the street and it fills up as there's other businesses here but usually someone leaves within 5-10 mins so just have someone get on the wait and then go find a spot if you have more than 1 person

Steak cooked perfectly, very tender and flavorful. My boyfriend had the catch of the day (swordfish) and he loved it!! Our drinks were very strong and good.

We had the pleasure of having Mike as our server. He was nice and knowledgeable. He made several recommendations, which we took him up on. We started off ordering cocktails. I had the white sangria and my husband ordered an old fashioned. Both drinks were just okay, but the star of the show is always the martinis, which was our next round of drinks. My husband also had a Moscow mule and he enjoyed it. For food, we ordered the calamari, filet mignon wontons, scallops and the red snapper. We enjoyed all of our food, but the dirty rice was a little too mushy for our liking, so we'd probably try something else the next time. Overall, we enjoyed ourselves, and look forward to visiting again!

We brought in our fresh catch for their "Hook and Cook" experience, and from the time we sat down the folks at Brotula's treated us like celebrities! The restaurant was spacious and well decorated and made you feel like you were on the beach but then nothing could compare to the experience which was simply amazing! Chef Terrance was sensational and worked his magic for real! He took our fresh haul of fish and prepared it three different ways! The Vermilion snapper was fried to golden-brown perfection, the Tuna was blackened with a deep and sultry flavor, while the Triggerfish was beautifully seared. And let's not forget about those phenomenal sides which included roasted broccolini, crispy Brussels sprouts, fried corn, French fries, and some of the best creamy gouda grits I've ever had. We even had an amazing seared Lionfish dish as this was during the Emerald Coast Open. But the day would not have been complete it was not for our server, Naz. No words can describe how much he elevated the experience! The attention to detail was flawless, and his anticipation of our needs was so on-point I don't think we ever had to ask for a anything. This is the type of service you can write a book about! So if you are in Destin and especially if you've been fishing and need a place to cook your catch, please do yourself a favor and hop on over to Brotula's! Huge thanks to Naz and Chef Terrance!

The decorations gave hs a great first impression when we entered the building. We had a friendly server that assisted us choosing our meal for dinner. He was friendly and kind, helping us with what we needed. We ultimately ordered the $300-400 "Deluxe" seafood platter. The main part consisted of 1lb snow crab, cluster crab, gulf shrimp, mussels, and king crab. The cajun flavor enhanced the dinner experience much more, and our entire family finished the whole plate. We have never ate seafood like this before, and it felt so good to explore another famous taste of authentic seafood. Try to enter around 6-7 pm, because the restaurant prioritizes outside seating and it does get packed after the said hours. When you visit Destin, maybe give this delicious seafood restaurant a try.

We visited during Memorial Day weekend, and while walking down the pier, saw that they would have a…read morefirework show later at night. It seemed like the obvious choice to dinner here and watch the fireworks show in their outdoor sections of the restaurant (one is truly outdoors and upstairs, while the other is within a mesh to keep out bugs). You could also takeout the food and eat on the pier as there are tables and chairs on it, though I suppose atp you could just have food from anywhere. The service here is a bit a slow. They are busy at night, so it makes sense, but they don't take reservations, and you cannot leave your name or anything to be called for later. We were suggested to come back later and they'll seat us if there's a space available. We decided to wait nearby to ensure an outdoor table. Once seated, we did take awhile to order, and our server was really nice. The food did take some time to come out, and it was fine. Definitely paying for being on the beach though the fish itself was cooked well. It was soft and broke apart easily. The coleslaw was meh, and if possible, definitely swap it for something else. While the food did take awhile to arrive and later their card reader was down, so we had to wait an additional 10-15 minutes to pay for our meals, it was overall still a good night. Our view of the fireworks was amazing, and though it was a short show, it was really fun!

Covered, stained, and reeking. We asked to speak to a manager expecting some kind of reasonable resolution. Instead, we were offered... drinks. Drinks. As if that somehow fixes being soaked in hot sauce, ruining our belongings, and completely killing our meal.
