Prices high, for that price they wouldn’t give guests wi-fi PW. Food came fast at 515pm. Ordered calamari and the seafood linguini. It was okay, would not recommend for the price, VERY minimal service. Expected better.

I had the crab legs and shrimp. Not enough spice and seasoning for this Cajun. The drinks are good. Fairly priced.

My personal opinion, I ordered the crab legs, they were very delicious they also had corn on the cob that was delicious as well! My husband really enjoyed the snapper, and my children enjoyed the fried shrimp basket. They also give the kids a little bucket and shovel souvenir to take home, super cute!

Three family members were ready to spend high $ on crab at 6pm. Went to deck hostess stand for seats as they had 20+ tables available, but young hostess wanted to put us in the direct sun...We politely asked for a different table away from sun and she walked us to a different one & just threw menus on table & walked away. After 15 minutes, no one approached us at all & there were at least 5 waiters/waitresses around chatting in bar area. We gave it 5 more minutes, and decided to walk out to spend our money elsewhere. VERY disappointed and were willing to give this tourist trap another chance after a 2 year hiatus, but lost us for good. Highly recommend you not spend time or money on this place!!

We enjoyed the food here very much. My wife loves to order crap cakes and they had one of the best crab cakes we have ever eaten. Everything else tasted great as well. We will hit them up again for more menu items on our next visit.

Hostess was rude, food was mediocre, margarita was terrible and it was way too expensive for what you got.

I ordered the crab legs and they did not look or taste fresh. A place that has crab in their name and located on the beach should be expected to taste great in that department. My husband had the grouper it was pretty greasy but edible. Definitely not worth the price that they charge for it.They did not give you any bibs to keep the food off of your clothes, nor did they give you any hand wipes to wipe your hands. The ladies bathroom did not have any hand soap in it. One of the dispensers was out of order and the other ones didn’t have any soap.The waitress was nice but she lost my card in the middle of the restaurant. Thankfully it was found, the customer that found it (on the floor) was nice enough to take it to the hostess station and turn it in.Not very happy with this restaurant. Two extra stars because it has a great view of the beach.

Food was great but a lil pricey. We had the gumbo, fried calamari, crab trap mahi and the crab and shrimp linguine. The linguine I think was our favorite, the sauce was absolutely delicious. Our server was Alexis and she was friendly and very attentive to our needs. Parking was easy but it was on a weekday, not sure how it is on the weekends.

Excellent food, without question the only place I have been satisfied when vacationing in Ft.Walton. To others reading the review, just know it is very, very expensive. Family of four (two littles) cost $150 dollars with tip. You cannot skip the shrimp dip, it was ridiculously good and generous. I had the crab cakes served over fried green tomatoes in some kind of gumbo like sauce, again, excellent quality. I love dining out and have done so all over the world, there is not much out there that strikes me as unique or exceptional anymore, but that dish checked all of the boxes. My wife's crab legs were standard, nothing unique, but we're hot and fresh. My kids liked their food well enough.

Great view of the pier and the playground to watch your kids if you choose to sit outside. Our server was nice. The food was so-so but not worth the price. Best thing we had was the appetizer ( crab dip). Our boiled shrimp that we wanted hot came out lukewarm, the vegetables with my mahi were bland as could possibly be. The rice with it taste like it came out of a box. Crab legs were pretty good, my wife liked them anyway. I’m my opinion if you are sitting inside and don’t have a good view of the beach outside, this place is a no go. I’ve been to many, many of the local restaurants and we spent more here than any of them and it just didn’t live up. Like I said service was 5 star, for was 2 star, so you get a 3 star. Wouldn’t recommend if you had another option.
