Located on the larger pier in the Gulf. Me and my family stopped for lunch while we waited for our room to get ready. The service was great. It was busy but we were seated right away. The server was super nice and had recommendations. The kids burger was good and large. My son and I got the grilled Red Fish Po Boy. Just note the grilled red fish was pretty spicy but had good flavor. I'm not sure I'd want to taste it blacked and I like spicy. The pasta salad was good. My parents got the fish tacos. They were good and there was a lot of food. My mom really liked their Bloody Mary. I'll be back. read more

This was so disappointing. We spent over $120 before tip for 3 adults and 1 child. Service was so so. Drinks over priced and not good. Got the fried calamari and it was good, but a very small order and when requested more sauce was told it would be $.50 more. My grand daughter got the chicken nuggets ok but tater tots were almost scrambled. We got Shrimp Po Boy and shrimp was not cooked. We wished we would gave gone to McDonald's. read more

Food was good, service was great, the view was spectacular! The waiter was very helpful explaining the menu options. They were still serving limited menu items, but he mentioned they would have full service back again in a week! read more

Windjammers on the Pier - Blackened fish tacos with side of potato salad. - Seafood Near Me - Navarre, Florida

Responsibility is an area we frequently miss when discussing food, yet it is of paramount importance. With Windjammers, the responsibility is for the coastline environment where it happens to sit. The amount of single use plastic used is substantial, resulting in an issue that generates garbage throughout the vicinity of the restaurant that does not get picked up. Thus, to maintain Navarre in the state of beauty is a conscious effort, that needs to have a better focus. Replace single use styrofoam cups with reusable ones or at least recycled paper, get rid of infinite plastic sauce bowls and lids, replace plastic straws with paper ones or eliminate entirely, serve beer as much as possible in chilled mugs and initiate efforts by staff to clean the surrounding area daily. The current ways just cannot continue and the restaurant unfortunately causes more damage than pleasure given it's unique location. As far as the meal, Windjammers is a very respectable place for fresh seafood, with spectacular preparations of fried oysters, local fish and shrimp. Simple and delicious. As a matter of fact, the batter used for oysters is some of the best to be had. The salads either need improvement or to be removed from the menu. The beers on draft compliment the easy flow of life in Navarre. Folks working here are extremely kind. There are a few odd rules, such as not allowing people to come in barefoot from the beach, which is a bit odd considering the location and extremely casual nature of the establishment. It was also strange that during a recent visit, the restaurant allowed a group of maintenance workers to drill and do roof work during the busiest time of the day, creating a lot of drilling noise and adversely impacting the experience. People come here for fresh air and enjoyment, not to spend the entire meal listening to drilling that should have been done during hours when the restaurant is closed. In worst case scenario that drilling had to be done at that time, which is unlikely, they could have at least told visitors to expect very loud noise before being seated. Despite the points above, Windjammers is a pleasant place with a Florida atmosphere and a lot of potential. With the right management, it could certainly fix some of the ongoing issues quickly and become a better steward of the area where is is located. read more

Cheers to the ladies serve on my beautiful ladies your the best we do appreciate how hard you work. read more

Fantastic beachfront bar with great food and ambiance! Friendly service too. Relaxed environment creates a beachside experience!

We went to Windjammers for breakfast and it was amazing. The food quality was high. We had the chicken and waffles, beignets, biscuits and gravy and French toast. The service was quick and our server was very nice. We loved being able to see the beach and the pier. Highly recommend! read more

I just love going to this bar on the beach. The food isn't the very best but you really can't beat the access, thee awesome staff and the drinks and the food is still good enough for beach food. I am not from here but have come several times. This time, everything has been very busy, but Braden found me a perfect table with a great view in the bar esp for someone alone. Sarah was a fantastic waitress. It really does make a difference to have people working that are not only good at their jobs but clearly like their jobs. Thanks for a great experience! read more

We stopped in for lunch and grabbed the grouper basket. The grouper was ok and the loaded potato salad was alright. I liked the view and the atmosphere was pretty cool. As for the staff, not friendly at all. The bartender seemed as if we were bothering him by asking for extra sauces on the side and questions about the drink menu. We even stopped a server as she walked by and seemed very short with us. I would probably go back to grab a drink and enjoy the view since there are not really too many restaurants on the island but that's it. read more

Loved the beach/water view and casual atmosphere! People were friendly and happy to serve! When I'm at the beach, I order fish tacos 90% of the time and these did not disappoint!! Asked what the fish of the day was and our luck it was Mahi!!! So tacos, sandwiches and all salads were Mahi today! The tacos were good because they were simple. Huge chunk of fish, tiny bit of slaw and fresh salsa!! I like to taste the fish!! No heavy sauces to cover it up. Came with fries which here these curled wedge type things! Yum! Add cold beer and a great view of beach!!! Well done! Staying on island so back again for lunch probably tomorrow... read more

Windjammers on the Pier - Chicken fingers and baked potato salad - Seafood Near Me - Navarre, Florida

I like to come here for the great Gulf views. The staff is friendly. We enjoy sitting close to the water views. Mostly we go here for a cold drink and sometimes the shrimp tacos, they are fresh, spicy and delicious! The prices are a bit high for what you get but that is with every place on the beach. read more

The review is heavily based on the service vs. the environment and food. Cute spot on the beach with a beach bar vibe. The food wasn't bad. The menu is very small now but the mahi tacos were decent. They mahi wasn't really "blackened" but was still good. The gator bites were good just a very small portion for the $18 price point. The service is where I was greatly disappointed. I used to work in the service industry and have a lot of patience for slow service. However, it took our waitress almost 20 minutes to come to our table upon initially sitting down. The drinks took around 20 minutes as well. You would think being sat directly next to the bar, it would've been a quicker endeavor. The food also took around 20 minutes, which is typical. They cleared our table but the waitress took an additional 30 minutes to cash us out after seeing me, card in hand, waiting for her. The bartender was also unprofessional to my boyfriend and some other fellow patrons after overhearing them comment about the slow service. Slamming his drink on the bar once it was made. I am advocate for being patient with a busy restaurant. However it was not packed when we were there, with multiple open tables. It's really a shame because the location is nice, it I won't be coming back unless it is for a quick drink. read more

With only a couple options nearby we decided to have dinner here, mistake! We're we're sat on cheap lawn furniture, weren't about to order drinks for 8 minutes, when the server returned with the drinks we ordered because we were concerned if we didn't we wouldn't see him for some time. (In all fairness the hostesses did seat him with 3 parties back to back so I can understand his struggle, but the hostesses need training.) The calamari's breading crumbled off, the carne taco had large dried chunks, the shrimp tacos were ordered grilled but clearly cooked sauté style. (We've had better shrimp tacos in Chicago, sad day for a restaurant on the water.) Karaoke is cool except when it's drunk people screaming and stomping. (Half were drunk.) We ate and left, I didn't want to order a second beer, I rather have left. read more

We are off season obvi- down here visiting a friend. We ate here for lunch. We were met by a super sweet and bubbly hostess/ waitress. She sat us and got us two drinks!

I live in Navarre so yes I am a local. Some restaurants cater to just tourists. Windjammers also gets the respect of locals who provide business year after year, every month on the calendar. The manager Buddy is awesome! The barkeep Aubrey is amazing! On the beach walkup level is an open bar for your convenience back and forth to the pristine emerald waters! read more

I stumbled upon this restaurant on my first solo trip to the Destin area. I was instantly attracted to the huge public parking lot and the clean public restrooms to change into my bathing suit! There is a huge pier here. It is a great spot to watch local fishermen catch some fish or gaze out into the ocean to look for dolphins-- and maybe even a shark or two! The first time I've visited this area, I did not stop and eat. I made a mental note to come back, if I were looking for a place to sit next to the ocean and grab some food. When I return to Destin a few months later, I took my mom and grandma to this local spot. I would give the food and overall three stars, but the view is easily a 4 1/2, five star review! We were starving, so at that point, anything would have sounded delicious... So we decided to feel the wind in our hair and salt on our face, as we sat and ate by the ocean. The food was really greasy. It tasted amazing going down, but soon after, my stomach rebelled. I'm not used to greasy food, so it did not sit well--However, the tater tot's were delicious!! If you're looking for a place to have a meal Oceanside, I'd recommend this place. They have a wonderful outside seating area, as well as a place at for the kids. They also have volleyball courts underneath their seating area. It's a great place to play in the ocean, walk the pier, and then grab some grub. The atmosphere is definitely casual and the food is more bar-food. We went at lunchtime, so the menu might be different in the evenings. read more

Ambiance was not how it was pictured at all. The outside was closed to weather and it was a nice day. Went through the door to be greeted by the hostess and turned around before being seated just because it looked nothing like the pictures I thought I was in wrong place read more

Windjammers on the Pier - Carne asada tacos, salad, waffle fries - Seafood Near Me - Navarre, Florida

Came here on a weekday afternoon, it was moderately busy. We had some wings, tots and fried pickles. Honestly the food was 10/10. We got naked wings with sauce on the side and that was the way to go. They were crisped to perfection and fresh. The hot honey was phenomenal and I definitely recommend. The fried pickles were perfect, they were sliced pickles and the seasoning was delicious. It's easy to rack up a $100 bill but the service was good and so was the food. Would def come back. read more

Had two meals here while on vacation that were both good. Blackened grouper sandwich was on special one day and it was phenomenal. My wife and I were having some drinks and split this sandwich and it was plenty for the both of us for lunch. They struggled a little bit at dinner when we went back due to staff issues I think, but that's just the way of the world for now I guess. We waited by having drinks (again) and once we were seated our dinner service and food was good. It's a fun place with karaoke a couple of nights that the kids are allowed to participate in as well. It's an open restaurant with views of the beach and ocean that are worth the visit. read more

Ignored the low star rating to avoid the sandwiches we packed in our cooler. Mistake, place wasn't very good. Worst food I've had all week. You pay for the ocean view and convenience, not the food. Ordered: 2 frozen drinks. They were okay, would expect more from my local chilis bar. Jumbo shrimp App, best thing we ate here. Main: Fish tacos & shrimp tacos (nothing impressive) Side: Fries, hard and seems to be sitting from last nights orders. Staff was friendly. read more

Our waitress was very good, good portions of food also. We ordered the hamburger basket and queso and house made chips. Fun place.

Food was delicious!!! He had the breakfast burrito warning it is huge! I had the chicken and waffles cooked to perfection! Service was on point also. Not to mention the excellent views. As a local to the area will always come back here. read more

My husband and I were there yesterday and got 4 coastal margarita's with patron. The bar charged us for the coastal margarita added an additional charge for the patron, which we knew there would be an up charge. Then they added a grand marnier float and the bill was just at $68.00 before tax and tip. $17.00 per margarita in a 16oz plastic cup with ice. My husband also had to wait at the bar to get our drinks. There was 3 bartenders working but 2 were most of the time just standing around talking. To us that was very high and we will never be going there again for an afternoon drink. I am glad we did not get any food as the bill would have been over $100.00 for two of us. Unsure of how the prices work but that was way more than we have every paid anywhere we have went for a margarita with patron. Very unhappy customer read more

Stopped today and loved the changes to the property. I ordered a Tequila Sunrise and could not even finish it. Something strange about the Orange juice and they must have used the crappiest alcohol they could find. I don't think that such a simple cocktail would be so hard to make. I should've gone with a beer. read more

My second favorite place to eat in Navarre! Practically sitting on the beach with great food, drinks, and views. I truly love it here and I could spend all day here. The staff is always friendly and helpful. Just a short walk next door from Summer Wind vacation rentals. I ordered the taco trio but ended up with 4 different ones. My original order was the Mahi-mahi, steak, and chicken but they threw in a shrimp for no extra charge. They were all great but the mahi-mahi was my absolute favorite I could eat them everyday if I had the chance. For sure a great place to eat while visiting Navarre. read more

Windjammers on the Pier - Chicken,steak, mahi-mahi, and shrimp tacos. - Seafood Near Me - Navarre, Florida

This place should be only for drinks, a bar and that's it. We had such a bad experience. We ordered the Calamari and I tell you what I've never seen such a sad dish in my life, there were about 9 burned rings of calamari, I was so amazed I wouldn't even offer that to my worst enemy. The server was really apologetic when I point out the looks of this dish, the food overall was terrible. How can they fool people like that? Jesus you are in a turístico area, I'm sure you get a lot of traffic but come on, treat people with a little respect and serve decent food or just dedicate your place on drinks only or who knows I've cream! Food was mediocre and took more than 2 hours to come to our table. I could see our server trying to scramble with other tables, no wonder it took so line I will NEVER go back nor will I recommend this place. You lost 3 locals and 3 visitors. read more

Mark was fabulous! Super attentive and friendly. Very courteous and accommodating. We walked right in, sat facing the beach and had an amazing meal. I highly recommend the blacked fish (mahi mahi) tacos with the baked potato salad! Delish! My daughter had them grilled and liked them that way too. My bride had the house salad with chicken (she said she thought it was fish at first because it was so tender and flaky). Also had a yummy sangria margarita. Will definitely be back! read more
