Food-five stars. Wait-1 star. Go at 4:00 or at 8:00. We went at 6:00 and waited 2 hours 45 minutes…read more There is a sand beach, docks, and a bad out back, but that was too long of a wait. The food hit it out of the park though. The fried green tomatoes appetizer was delicious, but I would get a second app if you are in a group of 6+ people. My husband and I both got the red snapper chef recommendation. It was the best meal I've had in a very long time. Our son got the filet and it was cooked perfectly. I was excited to finally have an elevated meal while we were vacationing here. Very, very good food and an awesome atmosphere!

We came here with a group of 12 for a bachelorette trip and overall had a great experience. We were…read moreoriginally told the wait would be 1.5 to 2 hours, but we were pleasantly surprised to be seated in under an hour. 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!

JackaCuda's is a seafood and sushi restaurant located in Destin, Florida. We stopped in for lunch…read morebecause most of the other restaurants were too crowded. This restaurant was completely empty, which was definitely not a great sign. Regardless, we were happy to be seated and decided to stay and dine-in. First off, this restaurant, aesthetically, is very nice. It's decorated well and has a large bar. Our server happened to be the bartender, Keith. He was friendly but it was obvious they were desperate for business. He almost never left our table. It is what it is, he wasn't rude, but you could tell he was bored and possibly lonely as well. The food was hit or miss, truly. We started with the Crispy Pork Dumplings, which were really good. We also enjoyed the Fried Shrimp Rangoons. They had a nice texture and filling to them. Our entrees weren't as good -- my Poké Bowl was too fishy and needed more sauce/seasoning. My Mom's Mahi Mahi Sandwich was alright -- the fish was good quality but it was overly salty. The kick in the shins was at the end, when we received our bill. This place adds a 20% "service fee" to all orders. This brought our bill from about $65 to nearly $80. So, given the service charge, I don't think we'd come back. But I hope more customers come in, Keith is great socially.

Chef came to our home last evening and prepared an absolutely amazing dinner. Great menu choices…read morewere available, we partook of 4 tapas-Baked Oysters, Crab Cakes,Pork tenderloin and bacon-wrapped dates with blue cheese. The soup was amazing and dinners were superb. I could not have been more pleased with his work and recipes, with his and Rhonda's personalities and willingness to engage and indulge our questions. If you're looking for something new and different for your guests-this is it! He also does a charter Sailing and Snacking out of Destin that will be next on our list of things to do. Enjoy!

I had inquired about meals and was planning on hiring the chef. I had questions regarding his menu…read moredifferent services because my friends have two different completely different taste pallets as well as all allergies. I sent over the chef exactly what he said which was two entrées and I also asked if they could provide I said if they couldn't buy dessert that was fine. He was completely rude and told me to go to a restaurant instead where I would be served better because I don't understand "the effort" it takes to provide meals for three people. Clearly, I understand which is why I was offering to pay for set service. I cannot believe that this man would talk down to someone so poorly Edit: responding to the owner. Do not be dishonest full story has been shown in the images. Clearly this shows you can not provide good customer service let a lone any. Report away, this is factual, based on m y experience and provided documentation
