Great view and a nice outdoor venue. It can get warm there and the mosquitoes can be bothersome. The construction is a pain nearby but....the service is awesome. I had the the mahi mahi tacos and they were delicious read more

Nice place. Very friendly.great views. Great "outside atmosphere". We had drinks, fries, salad, steak, tortellini, green beans. All good, though tortellini was a bit mushy. Steak was a little too well done, but marinade was good. 120 for two drinks each plus meals and tip. So. Go figure.... We'd go back. Maybe not right away... read more

OK this place is pretty cool to eat at. The atmosphere is amazing as you overlook the bay. once you enter you head to the counter and place your order then go find a table. They bring your food to you so that was nice since picnic style eating. We all enjoyed our food. Will definitely try this place again when in the area. read more

Went to dinner on the first night of my vacation ( husbands work trip) and wanted something light but good and we found it. Everything was great except the sweet tea wasn't sweet tea at all. I'd go back just for the Grouper Bites so good read more

YUM! What a great dinner for our family! We went early (around 5pm on a Friday night) and there was plenty of seating. We got everything from Blackened Grouper Sandwich to Coconut Fried Fish Bites to Chicken Tenders and every single person loved their meal. Seating had a variety of options as well as a fun beach area. The servers were kind and helpful and Junior made sure our visit was amazing. I'll include some pictures but we will definitely be back to enjoy this delicious restaurant on a waterway. read more

The Gulf - Ocean view - Seafood Near Me - Fort Walton Beach, Florida

We loved this spot! Best way to kick off our trip. The environment is relaxed, beachy vibes. Super casual. It's a nice set up because you order when you want at the counter and can sit anywhere you want. There's ample seating including shady spots and it's right on the bay so the views are nice. Bar is located in the middle but they also have good iced tea for lunch. Variety of items on the menu which is predominantly seafood but has some non seafood options which we appreciate and wrrr still cooked well. We had swordfish bites, mahi mahi tacos, grilled chicken sandwich with bacon and basil aioli, chicken tenders for the kids and hamburger. Everything was delicious. We will definitely be back. read more

Amazing food and atmosphere! I'm a local and love this place in the summer time! The setup is so beautiful!

Food was just okay. Got the coconut grouper bites which were over battered, lobster and shrimp roll which was pre-mixed and didn't taste that good, wife got the blackened cobia with mango salsa and mixed veggies, was a bit over cooked. The atmosphere is fun outside on the water. You order food at window or bar and seat yourself. Was fun to visit with our party of 8 and hang out on the water area for a few drinks. read more

The Gulf - Coconut grouper bites, lobster and shrimp roll with little lobster, blackened cobia over cooked, rice was hard not fresh - Seafood Near Me - Fort Walton Beach, Florida

If you're looking for an open air place to eat, grab a drink and relax on the water, this is your place. They have plenty of parking & seating. It an order your food at the bar and they bring it out kind of place but the food is fantastic. I got the salad with grilled grouper. It was so good I forgot to take a photo of it, so you'll just have to trust me. read more

Been there several times now. It's all outdoor seating but plenty of shady spots so just be ready for that. It's a wonderful setting on the bay shore with plenty of space for kids to play, if needed. The food is fine, however, the margarita had little to no alcohol which surprises me being tourist driven but perhaps the bartender was having an off day ;-) It's okay to add a little extra value to drinks, especially when there's so many places to choose from around there. read more

Cobia BLT! Just order it, it is that good. Hand cut style fries were some of the best I have had in a while. Counter order for food and drinks but staff was friendly and the order was delivered to the table promptly. Lots of outdoor tables over looking the water. read more

Great variety of food and the seating by the water is so relaxing. Very casual and tasty. I've been twice as I ordered a tuna poke bowl the first time and have been dreaming about it for 2 years before I could make it back. My second bowl lived up to my memories of the first! read more

We came back after visiting last year. Beautiful outdoor setting on an inlet. Lots of seating. You order, pay, and they bring the food to your table. We shared the cauliflower bites - absolutely delicious! The tuna poke bowl had a delicious combination of fruits & vege to go with the tuna and rice. The lobster and shrimp salad had a good amount of lobster, the seafood was fresh and tasty. The Gulf-Rita from the bar was a perfect drink for a warm, sunny afternoon outside. Some tasty local beer options as well. read more

Great food and ambiance. A bit hot in the summer, as seating is all outside. I'd give it 5 stars if it had beer on tap.

Decent food, but really dislike ordering drinks separately at the bar. Had to go to the bar to get a cup of water and then the ice had orange specks in it in 4 different drinks. Also, would prefer some indoor seating options on a super hot day. read more

The food was delicious, and it was so nice sitting outside enjoying views of the bay!

Sooo the view and vibe is amazing. The service is also great! But the food, my god. It was so bad and definitely not worth the price. If it was half the price I probably would be slightly okay with it. But the food was just gross. No flavor and the poke was soft and warm.. the lobster roll had no flavor whatsoever and roll was stale. The guacamole was legit grocery store guacamole. All that being said cute place to come hang out and get a drink, but I recommend to eat before coming. read more

The grouper bites are a must have. Great service and they checked on us multiple times

Great scenery on the bayside of the island and friendly beautiful waitresses . I loved the brisket tacos and drinks .

Snow crabs, Tuna poke bowl, Shrimp taco bowl and Gulf burger were good. Indoor and outdoor dining. Good service. Order at the counter and they bring it to you. The staff checked on us numerous times to see if we needed anything else. Would recommend. read more

The Gulf is an amazing spot to grab some food. I love the vibe and ambiance. It's a chill spot with all outdoor seating with a view of the water. It's lively and fun. The food is fresh and delicious. Prices are fair. Variety is good. We tried the blackened fish tacos and burger w/fries. All of it was great. Service was fast and friendly. I'd love to come back if in the area again. read more

Cafeteria style 'order here and we'll bring it out to you'. Food is so-so and drinks are massively overpriced. The view is great, and there's a volleyball pit over to the side. Ample seating, but all tables are huge. You're not getting a private table for two when this place is hopping. For reference: seasonal adult beverage was piña colada - $11; a double Titos and water with lime (great summer beverage, BTW) - $18. That's a whole bottle, people. Bring it down a notch, this ain't Paris. Nice to stop by and glad I checked it off my list as it was recommended by a friend, but won't be back. read more

The atmosphere is awesome however when I eat, I base the weight of the review on the food. All three dishes were served cold. Shrimp tacos, grilled cheese, and mahi mahi tacos. The food came fairly quickly based on the amount of people, but all the food was cold, not just one dish. The price for what you get is on the high side of tourist district pricing. read more

The Gulf - Seafood Near Me - Fort Walton Beach, Florida

What a great spot near Destin!!! We came here twice. Once for lunch after a day at the Gulfarium and the second on our way to the airport. The vibe is like a cool, surf-style beach restaurant on the bay. The restaurant itself is made out of bright blue shipping containers. All the seating is outdoor (except for what seems to be an event space upstairs). There are tons of seating - many under large umbrellas. You order at a window and they bring everything out to you. We had the mahi tacos both times (what can I say, they were good!) and my son had the grilled cheese. We added queso and beans and rice. Queso was excellent!! Beans needed some seasoning. They also have a dock you can pull your boat up to and sand volleyball courts. There is also a nice park close by. If we go back to Destin, we will be stopping by...this time on a boat! read more

Atmosphere, little shopping area, drinks and bartending staff 10/10. The actual food 7.5/10. Pick your poison. Great to bring kids to run. Our main thoughts while here - this is great, why is nobody else here. Compared to fudpucker's or joe's crab shack - 10/10 especially with no wait. All things considered 4/5. read more

What ambiance! Beautiful place in the Bay Area so peaceful and serene came here visiting from Birmingham Al looking for something delicious to eat once we figured out what we wanted we got in line & ordered food the service was friendly and the wait for the food wasn't long at all we ordered crab boils the shrimp bowl & the snapper blt the crab boils were pretty good however the corn & potatoes were dry & overcooked my snapper was fried extremely hard & not enjoyable and make sure you ask for extra aioli because I didn't taste much & it made the sandwich very dry the shrimp tasted a little funky and it did indeed mess one of our guests stomach up later on the expresso martini was the best thing out of everything we had if you're looking for drinks & a nice scenery this us your spot I suggest getting food elsewhere unless you're willing to pay double price for something that may or may not be good read more
