The good is worth the wait. It's a small but cozy footprint inside with typical beach decor, but don't let that dissuade you. Once inside you order at the counter and the time you wait is minimal compared to the amount of people inside, the service was excellent start to finish! I can see why this is constantly rated one of the best fish houses as every thing was perfectly cooked and flavored. We had a group of ten and everything was correct, a nice change of pace from other recent experiences. The Bang Bang Shrimp stood out to me most of all but everyone was pleased with their food. read more

Scooter's Fish House must be good if it has a line out the door, right? We visited with a party of 10 and ordered a little bit of everything: bang bang shrimp, grilled shrimp, fried swordfish, fries, coleslaw, hush puppies, and chargrilled oysters. Once you place your order at the window, you're handed a drink cup and sent into the chaos of finding a table. The place stays busy, and with the crowd, TVs, and constant activity, it can get pretty loud. If you're hoping to have an easy conversation with your group during dinner, be prepared to compete with the noise. That said, the atmosphere is fun. The restaurant is full of local character, plenty of decorations, and enough going on to keep things interesting while you wait for your food. The food came out hot and fresh from the kitchen window. The chargrilled oysters were the highlight of the meal--piping hot, perfectly cooked, and served with fresh lemon. Everything else was solid and exactly what you'd expect from a casual seafood spot, but nothing really stood out as memorable. Overall, Scooter's is a good place to grab seafood if you're already in the area. The oysters are worth ordering, the atmosphere is lively, and the food is consistently decent. Just don't expect a meal that's worth making a special trip for. TL;DR: Good food, great oysters, fun atmosphere--but not quite destination-worthy. read more

Had a late lunch at Scooter's today. The fresh fish of the day was swordfish. I had it grilled and sides were fried okra and grilled. My wife had grilled swordfish, Cole slaw and potato salad. Fish and okra were very good but the fried cabbage was kinda bland. My wife like her fish and preferred the coleslaw. Overall, it was a tasty lunch for a good price. read more

Well well well! A hidden gem in navarre, fl. Definitely going to be a stop when we come o the beach again. The hush puppies down here are amazing!! The service was them calling your name over a loud speaker which was cool. The tables were local advertising , which I thought was cool. read more

Service was good. We were greeted and my question were answered sweetly. The food was amazing. Recommend the boom boom shrimp. It was delicious also enjoyed the fried onions and the beans. The place is a hole in the wall and it was very packed, but you could see why with all the amazing food. read more

Scooter's Fish House was very busy and had a line to order before seating ourselves at a table. Plenty of tables inside to sit at. Waited an hour for our meal. We had a mixed experience. I ordered the baked pompano with fried okra and potato salad, which was good but not repeat-order-worthy for me. The fried okra was a highlight - it was very tasty! My husband's fried shrimp dinner wasn't hot when he got it, which was disappointing. My mother-in-law's fish of the day (triple tail) was just okay. The biggest issue was with the key lime pie upgrade. We were charged $6.47 for a slice, despite being told it was a $3 upgrade. When we went to pick up our food at the window, they told us they were out of key lime pie and offered a large side of seasoned fries instead. They seemed to be having some technical difficulties with their system which was probably why the key lime pie inventory wasn't up to date. Their kitchen also seemed backed up/overloaded. read more

To date, Scooter's Fish House has been hands-down THE BEST seafood I've ever had in MY LIFE! l'm a die hard seafood lover and have had seafood that claimed to be caught same day/local, but wherever Scooter's is getting their seafood from, and whatever they're doing to it, is far superior then anything I've had before. The vibe here is relaxed and there's plenty to choose from on the menu. Not to mention, the prices are reasonable for the quality you're getting on your plate. I ordered the Grilled Shrimp Dinner Plate ($17.99) which came with grilled shrimp, hushpuppies and two sides. I went for an order of fried okra too, which was delicious. Everything I've tried here was a winner. Also, side note, there's plenty of seating around the corner from the front register, near the back. Will happily continue to visit Scooter's whenever we're in the area. read more

The place and plates may not look fancy but OMG the food was amazing!! The best place we have eaten at all trip! We ordered the catch of the day sandwich and grilled seafood platter with hush puppies and fried okra. It was so good that we ended up placing another order for grilled shrimp with more fried okra and hush puppies. I definitely recommend coming here and we will be back next time we are in the area. read more

We stopped by Scooter's in Navarre with a fairly large group and, admittedly, we were those people. . .the last to order right as the doors were closing. Despite that, the staff was kind, welcoming, and didn't make us feel rushed at all, which we really appreciated. The atmosphere was great. . .super casual with a big family vibe that felt like a classic coastal hangout spot. It's the kind of place where you can kick back, relax, and just enjoy good company. As for the food, it was good, not amazing, but to be fair, it was the end of a long day for the kitchen, and that may have impacted things. The fried shrimp were a little overdone and tougher than expected, and the okra just didn't have much flavor. That said, we were grateful they still served us, and the rest of the meal was satisfying enough after a long day out. All in all, Scooter's has a lot of potential, and I'd definitely give it another shot during normal hours when the kitchen's in full swing. I'm looking forward to trying it again under better timing. I have a feeling there's a great meal waiting when the stars (and the fryer) align. read more

I was very disappointed last month- ordered shrimp and calamari. Calamari was not much calamari and lots of empty fried batter. Shrimp was over cooked and numbered 4! French fries and Cole slaw was good read more

Outstanding service. A lot of people are complaining about portions--I have no idea what they are talking about. The portions were plentiful and the food came out very hot and quickly, and correct. This is a short-order place. Order at the front, and they call out your number and you pick up at window. Plenty of seating for our party of 10. I got the ultimate platter with fried fish, fried shrimp and fried oysters. It came with fries as a side. Plenty of self serve tartar sauce and cocktail sauce, with numerous hot sauces to your desire. We got an additional side of fried okra which came out lit! If you need a quick lunch or dinner, want a short order (not waited service), and want it hot, go to this place. The last thing I'll say: my great-grandma is a diva and didn't like her grits (which I later happily ate ). They replaced it with an order of fried okra, no questions asked or other charge noted. Kudos to the team here. We will be back next time we visit Navarre. read more

Good fried seafood. More local than tourist hangout. Not easy to get in/out due to curb at intersection.

Someone associated with this restaurant needs to update their website. This is 2026. Upon early arrival we were informed quite rudely that there was no happy hour. There was no beer. The advertized drinks were not available. With 2 kids we attempted to order chicken for them. No chicken available. The employee's attitude was "take it or leave it." We always try to support local businesses but this experience was underwhelming. We cannot recommend dealing with this attitude toward the public. Perhaps you could update your menu online. read more

So, it's been a minute since I was here last and found myself disappointed in food quality and size last time. Welp, this time, Scooter's was certainly consistent! I ordered the 2 protein platter to go, got the fish and shrimp. $28. Got it with fries and coleslaw. Yep, 4 (22-24 sized) pieces of shrimp, and two chicken tender size pieces of fish. Cole slaw was an onion-y version of KFC, but hey, at least the seasoned fries were good. Oh, and two hush puppies, one overcooked the other cooked well, and extra bland. I really REALLY wanted to like this place and I'm big on supporting local, but I'm not one for overpriced mediocre food. What's the saying, fool me once...yeah won't do it a third! (But the girl at the front counter was super friendly, hence 2 stars!) read more

Scooter's Fish House - the fish size for each piece is about the size of two chicken nuggets. - Seafood Near Me - Navarre, Florida

Went out of our way to eat here and personally I don't see why all the high reviews. Had the grilled shrimp, not enough to fill me. The "wedge salad" turned out to be a cup or so of iceberg with a 1/2 slice of tomato. The "cheesy grits" just grits with a few sprinkled shredded yellow bits on top. I imagine the other seafood establishments in the area are far worse, though I haven't been able to try them. The A/C was set to 54 which likely made it comfortable for the kitchen, but cooled off my lukewarm food too quickly and my nails were nearly blue when we left. But if this is supposedly the best in this high tourist area, I don't care to return to the area for seafood. read more

Oh man! Best fish tacos I think I have ever had!!! For how busy they were, the attitude of staff was great! Very nice people taking orders. And again, for how busy they were pretty quick! The space was chill and easy going feeling! Definitely recommend while you are in town! Thanks to the cooks for the delicious food! read more

The food here is freshly cooked and has a wonderful Homemade taste- the fish, shrimp, cheese grits, collard greens are amazing! This is the best food we have had in Navarre! The fish is fresh and great grilled or fried and the service is nice! We will be back! read more

I was looking for seafood while here at my favorite beach. I haven't been to Navarre in years and it's grown. My secret beach is no longer a secret. If you don't love the crowds and don't mind a 4 minute drive away from the pier, you will find some very affordable EXCELLENT seafood! I always use Yelp to find my next meal when eating out. I did my research on this place and they didn't disappoint me! A beautiful blonde with a great smile greeted me and answered my questions while ordering. We ordered key lime pie to go only because we had no more room. We left STUFFED and HAPPY! We shared the colossal grilled shrimp plate and the snapper plate. Hush puppies were the best my husband's had, the potato salad was good but the fried onions, coleslaw and okra were amazing. There is lots of rooms inside with picnic tables and lots of sport TV's. You can self serve lemons for tea and all the tartar sauce and cocktail sauce you need. Their cocktail sauce is really good and has the perfect amount of horsey-radish in it which I love. I shook hands with Mark the manager on tonight who gave me my key lime pie along with a great smile. I had a wonderful experience this evening and this excellent meal was a BIG part of it. The photos here of their food do not do them justice! I was so excited to eat that I can't say mine are any better so go try it for yourself! read more

Wow! A must try if you're in the area! Kind service, speedy food delivery, relaxing & calm, yet fun environment!! My husband got the catch of the day fish grilled sandwich (sea bass). The fish was very fresh tasting! This spot is lowkey and not super touristy. Highly recommend! I got the fried catch of the day fish sandwich with the cheese grits. 10/10 would eat here again! Such fresh & flaky fish... YUM! read more

As far as taste and quality of seafood, this is the best place I have tried in the navarre Beach area. It came highly recommended. Hole in the wall restaurant even though they have two rooms of tables and a back patio. Basically you order at the front counter and then they call your number and you come and get your food. I ordered the scooters platter which had Fried oysters, grilled and blackened fish and shrimp , hush puppies, coleslaw and fries for $28 not bad. I will tell you this the blackened fish and shrimp as far as taste was as good as I've ever had. Portions were kind of small, but food quality and taste were exceptional. Highly recommend. This place is about 1 mile from the beach and worth visiting read more

New dining hours- not open on Wednesday. Food is always good but they can run out of their fish!

Great food (depending on what you get), quick service, ma and pop restaurant, casual atmosphere. This is an order and seat yourself kind of place. Sitting outside is not ideal, typically hot and noisy, and lots of bugs in the summer. Indoor seating has picnic tables and plenty of room. We ordered, mahi samwich (spelled this way on the menu), flounder dinner, cheese grits, baked beans, and cucumber salad. The grilled mahi samwich was underwhelming, small portion of fish and a big cheap bun which detracted from the flavor. The fried flounder dinner plate on the other hand was incredible: great flavor, massive portions, and comes with two sides. I don't normally don't go for grits, but after a bite, I was literally in heaven, soooo good. The beans were also very good, but nothing could compare with those grits. The cucumber salad was not good, overly salted, mostly onions and a semi off-putting flavor. I didn't even eat half of it. The dinner also comes with 2 hush puppies which were also good. I'll certainly be back and will spend the extra $$ for the dinner plate to avoid the samwich. read more

Walk up to the counter and order. Find a table and they will bring your drinks and food. Unfortunately all the seafood was over cooked. I had the fish special Mahi Mahi grilled, family had fried shrimp. They both were dry. Hush puppies were good as well as the cheese grits. read more

Very average food, service and ambiance. Place was not clean. They were out of ice in one machine, out of sweet tea, soda machine sprayed the soda out. Bang bang shrimp was ok, fried shrimp was ok, fried fish good, fried oysters good. French fries were the best part of the meal - crispy and delicious. Won't be back. read more

Scooter's Fish House !!! I this not so hidden gem. It only gets better every time we go. We had a great dinner tonight with outstanding over the top service from a window service system (order and number called) and wonderful dinner. 1. THEY offered a local discount and in this economy every cent counts. 2. They brought out our order to the table as they were ready because "they didn't want them to get cold!" 3. The food was a delicious, hot, and quick! I had grilled oysters, my husband had bang bang chicken tacos and hush puppies, kids had calamari and fried shrimp all delicious. Honestly as a stay at home mom who is always taking care of my family and headed to baseball were I would be team Mom and dad coaching it was just such a blessing tonight that they went above and beyond in service. God bless them read more

We love the fried okra Good service and the people were very friendly. I hope to go back soon.

Let me start off by saying I am a Christian man, with this being established, I have to tell you all somebody has received a divine touch in the kitchen at scooters. Now I can cook, I mean, I can really throw down so I know some good food when I taste it and this is some good food. We ordered the scooters sampler and added some fried crab to it and oh my gosh, I inhaled it all. I chose cheese, grits and okra for my sides and I'm a country boy and I know grits and y'all these are some good grits. I am a black man and I know seasoning and all of this food up in here is seasoned to perfection and I am going to slap whoever made the hush puppies because they are better than mine! I am on vacation so I guess I have to take some good pictures so I can lick my phone thinking about the offerings here, Come on by, you'll see! read more
