Elmo’s Grill is the place to go for a great seafood dinner. A great, local seafood dive. Our table split 2 a la carte seafood feasts. It was delicioussssss. The kid’s corn dogs were good, too. The seafood feast was just incredible-tasting food and I finally got a sweet enough sweet tea for the first time since we’ve been down here on vacation. For the quantity, the a la carte seafood feast is a banging deal. The New York strip was so tender and flavorful. Good customer service, as well. If you like seafood, you can’t pass this place up. No matter what you order, you can’t go wrong here.
Someone told me the fried shrimp was great here, so my family stopped in for dinner. My older boy got the all-you-can-eat fried shrimp and absolutely loved it. My younger boy got a burger and fries and loved it too. We also tried the local catch, fried pickles, and peel and eat shrimp. It was all perfectly cooked, and the cole slaw was great too! This is definitely on our list of great places to go!
This place would have to be one of the best places I have ever eaten at. The waiter was super friendly and answered all of our questions. Our orders were all correct and were swiftly delivered to our table. One of our orders was accidentally picked up by another waiter but our order was quickly remade and brought to our table. The food was fantastic and the fries were wonderful. I could go on forever about how amazing my experience here was. Customer service was top tier and even the entertainment was good. Would highly recommend taking family and or friends here to eat. Also of note they have great pricing/deals on certain meals.
Was looking for a local seafood place without a 2 hour wait when we stumbled across this hidden gem. Everything we ordered (shrimp, grouper, crab legs) was great & reasonably priced.
If I’m being honest, the food was kind of mid. I had the shrimp platter and an appetizer of cheese curds. The shrimp wasn’t terrible, but it wasn’t anything to write home about. As for the fries, they were objectively below average (not crispy and a bit soggy). Then, we come to the cheese curds which were also just ok. average. (culver’s has better cheese curds). I wouldn’t recommend this place, but I would also not advise against eating there. Food was not worth the price.
Last night my husband and I went to Elmo’s Grill for the first time and loved it! The food was delicious and the restaurant itself made for a good time. I don’t know if they have live music every night but they did last night and it added to the experience. Our waiter was very attentive to our table which made us feel well taken care of. Definitely will be back in the future!
Wow, this was such a great place! An amazing hole in the wall kind of place! After being in Destin for almost two weeks I regret not coming here sooner!! The service was great! Our server Andy was such a doll! The ultimate boil was outstanding with 3 lobster tail a half pound of shrimp and snow crabs legs with corn and butter! And the key lime pie was also amazing! So worth it and for sure the best dinner we have had around the area ❤️
Fantastic food with a very relaxed vibe. We had the Ultimate Seafood Feast steamer which was excellent.The restaurant was not too loud or crowded, even at the busiest times. We got there early to beat the rush (it's spring break week) and there was a bunch of folks waiting outside when we left.
I really wanted to 5-star this place and there are good parts but I just can’t get over the fact that my draft beer came just before my meal. The bartender is doing about 50 things, like serving to-go orders instead of pretty much printing money. Also, this isn’t a bad thing but be prepared to wait. Our time from order to table was on order of an hour.
The staff, especially Amber, was extremely friendly and made our dinner a very fun and enjoyable experience. The food was delicious as well! I would give more than five stars if I could. I highly recommend to anyone visiting the area.
