We were staying across the bridge in Destin and drove by this place and decided to stop by for lunch the next day. It was a very good choice. We were seated right away on the deck. It was a cool, windy day in late April and they had the plastic down covering the windows. It was nice sitting outside... More

We had a small wedding party of about 20 people. They had an area blocked off for us and had it set up nicely for us. The Servers were awesome and everybody was happy with the food. I am very happy with our overall experience there.

This is our 2nd visit. I was a bit worried about the service because of the recent reviews. We didn't have the same issue that other folks had. I was happy with our meal. We had an awesome server who was attentive and friendly. Our whole meal, for 4, was about $60. Take a look at some of the travel... More

Stopped by Anglers on a cool windy day. Not so great for beach side dining, but the staff is pleasant and accommodating - they closed the window panels so that we could eat comfortably. Mahi Mahi was delicious as was the Chicken Bayou. Kids enjoyed the chicken tenders. Heard great things about the burgers, but decided to give those a... More

Not sure what happened to this place. It used to be legendary...now the customers wait and wait and receive free drinks or appetizers for their inconvenience and frustration. Food is great once it finally arrives. Best view in town, beside the pier.

Service and food were both well done. A burger we ordered was under cooked but our server quickly sent it back ... Came back quickly and correct. The cobia special was tasty... All fish is fresh and local... The pier walk provides for a good post dinner diversion.

This restaurant is located at the base of the pier. Service was friendly and the atmosphere was fine. The problem was the food. The fried oysters were inedible- over cooked to a leather-like consistency. The hushpuppies were so hard that one bite was all I could manage. The shrimp were the best item on my platter. If you like shrimp,... More

This restaurant is just about average. The service isn't the greatest, we waited quite a long time till someone ever came and waited on us and there was hardly anyone in the place.

Food is still enjoyable but the service has become slow and inattentive. Table was dirty when we arrived and the hostess made a feeble attempt to wipe it clean with a dry paper towel. We wiped it clean ourselves after she gave up. Our order took over an hour to be served. Food was satisfactory but I won't bother going... More
