    Grouper platter, cheese grits, green beans and hush puppies.
    Arian P.

    The service was great, the food was delicious and the atmosphere is family oriented and has such a hometown feel to it.

    Nicks is along a remote section of the highway and by the amount of cars in the lot we figured it had to be decent. Mostly locals, it seemed. There was a table full of officers who were finishing up their meal when we arrived. There were lots of families, kids of all ages. The walls are lined with some really great pics and memories (maybe of the family?) and also some pretty impressive w trophies from hunting and fishing trips. There's lots to see. I didn't get a pic but my husband had the fish sandwich. It was huge. Three large pieces of fish. Would be enough to share. I ordered a half pound steamed shrimp. It was very tasty. We also ordered a fried shrimp platter that my son and daughter shared along with a grilled cheese for my other kid. The side of hush puppies was more than i realized.... They were really good too. The food was all seasoned well. Only one complaint.... Service was pretty rough. We got there around 1:45.... Waitstaff was frazzled at the hind end of a lunch rush and tho we were seated fairly quickly, we sat quite a while waiting for someone to come address us. Maybe they were just having a bad day? If we were locals, we'd definitely be back. The food was great and the casual mood was just our style. I'd go back with low expectations for a warm welcome tho....

    My $25.00 fried fish meal. Gloppy grits, 4 shrimp, and 2 fish nuggets. I was robbed.

    I drove by this scenic place a hundred times and always told myself I had to eat there. We finally did, and it is just a big regret from start to finish. We ordered 2 seafood dinners and a fried chicken breast dinner. The wife got grilled shrimp and fish, and I got the fried version. First, the chicken...the portion was good, but the chicken was overcooked and dry. My fried fish and shrimp were fine, but for $25.00, it was an absolute ripoff. The fish weren't even whole fillets but 3 inch sections of a larger fillet. Basically, they were 2 fish nuggets. Do the math on this and you quickly realize that you have been had. The wife's grilled was the same meager portions, but to top it off, the skewered shrimp were hammered and tough. Someone forgot about them on the grill or they sat and sat. The cheese grits were anything but creamy. They were actually gloppy and unappealing. The cooks have to had known the grits were obviously gloppy, yet they never took the effort/initiative to heat them up, add some milk, and get them where they needed to be. The place wasn't busy, so they couldn't say they got slammed and lost the quality. Walked out and paid $95.00 for 3 people - no appetizer, no beers, just 3 meals and 3 sodas. Sad.

    Hush puppies and fried green tomatoes

    Good food, friendly service, cute inviting atmosphere! We ordered a few things including fried shrimp, fried fish of the day (tile fish), and hush puppies which are delicious. Also we had fried green tomatoes and crawfish, each very good as well. There are little piglets and chickens roaming the area outside which is so cute and fun for the little ones. Overall great experience, recommend!

    Pigs outside, so cute!

    BLUF: Best service in Santa Rosa Beach and a menu that offers coastal and American fare…read more I love a fish camp! Not that I have ever been to a real fish camp but a restaurant with fish camp in the name calls to me so my sister and I visited Stinky's for an early lunch. Stinky's is an awesome spot for lunch because you can get half of a salad and half of a po' boy or half of a po' boy with a cup of soup. I was tempted by those halfsies combinations but ultimately I went with a basket. Much to my surprise, the basket could be ordered fried, grilled or blackened. I went with blackened shrimp and they were excellent - perfectly seasoned and perfectly cooked. So many places and people (myself included) overcook shrimp but these were timed perfectly! The basket also included tasty, crispy, big curly fries and hush puppies. What's not to love about fried dough but the hush puppies weren't my favorite. Those shrimp on the other hand . . . I am still thinking about them! I am sorry I am not remembering our server's name because he was awesome and absolutely deserves a shout out. He was super kind, attentive and personable. He had my heart when we offered me a Diet Coke to go. I'd go back to Stinky's just for his hospitality . . . And those blackened shrimp. The atmosphere is very casual and it has its own parking lot. Next door is Stinky's Bait Shop which is a unique spot offering fish and tackle, coffee, happy hour and a casual simple breakfast. I look forward to returning to Stinky's - either the restaurant or bait shop, maybe both!

While waiting, we sat at the bar. I ordered a Paloma. It was tasty and the presentation was nice. However, we saw a cockroach in the straw container on the bar. We told the bar tender and she threw half the straws away. We told her she needed to toss all of them and she did. I couldn't finish my drink after that. The wait was very long. On the phone they told us it would be 20-30 minutes. It was 2 hours. They told us the reason was because another table was overstaying, which didn't make a lot of sense. Our waitress was rude. She was annoyed we wanted separate checks and was very curt. All of us were put off by her attitude. For appetizers, we got the edamame hummus, edamame, Brussels sprouts, and shrimp lettuce wraps. The edamame hummus was weird. It didn't have a ton of flavor and the wasabi peas and ginger on top were just strange. The Brussels sprouts and shrimp wraps were good. The shrimp wrap was probably our favorite app. For my entree, I got Sandor's ravioli. It was good, but not hot. The ravioli was handmade and very cheesy. The fish was perfectly blackened. Unfortunately our bride's steak was undercooked and she didn't want to send it back after the long wait and waitress attitude. I got the key lime pie to go and it took forever to get it. We had to ask another server to get it. It was amazing, but not worth the hold up after an already negative experience. We let the manager know about our experience and while they were very apologetic and offered us a discount, our experience was what it was and we had already paid. I appreciate their acknowledgment and offer to make it right.

    If you're anywhere near Grayton Beach and love a good, cozy dinner spot this is it…read more Grayton Seafood absolutely blew us away. From the moment we walked in, the staff made us feel like we were old friends, so warm, so welcoming, and genuinely fun to be around. We were laughing and enjoying ourselves before the food even hit the table. We sat outside with low lighting, soft live music in the background, and the most perfect relaxed atmosphere. The music was lowkey but so good, it added to the experience without taking over. And the food... wow. The wedge salad with the fish of the day was fantastic. Fresh, flavorful, and just done right. This place is intimate, charming, and honestly feels like a hidden gem. Safe to say this is our new spot

    ChatGPT said this was a place where you'd spend about $20 a plate. Maybe if you only ate appetizers…read moreand off the kids menu. Ordered the blue crab sautéed for my kids to try. Came out tasting fishy and not fresh. Sent it back after trying two, just to make sure the first one wasn't off. Sent it back and they said they took half off the charge for the crabs. I let them know that was unacceptable and I wanted to remove my entree from being made. They came back and said they took the whole cost off, but it's what should have been done from the beginning. I still didn't get my entree. I completely understand that it could have just been a bad batch, but ingredient issues are the problem of the restaurant and not the customer. Fried pickles were breaded in corn meal. They were crispy and tasty. Son got the spaghetti (linguine noodles) off the kids menu. Said he didn't like it because it had a weird texture. I tried it and the noodles were over cooked. Sent it back to be remade. Came back a little over again. He ended up not eating it. My wife got the triple tail (blackened) from the catch of the day. It came covered in a remoulaude, with green beans and a garlic mashed potatoes. She loved her entire meal. My daughter got the fried shrimp with a side of fries. Fries were perfectly crispy but a little under seasoned. Fried shrimp was crispy and seasoned well. She enjoyed her meal. (Son also approved of the meal as he ate some of hers due to not liking his food.) Slight off smell when you walk in, but it fades quickly. (Could just be a me issue as I am hyper sensitive to smells.) Lights dimmed to give a nice ambiance, but then they sit you in hard metal chairs. Kind of confused as to what they are trying to be. Michael was a decent server. Really disappointed because I wanted this to be a great experience.
