re: Places to eat in Fort Walton/Destin

Tommy Bahama's is great!! I recommend the 3 course price fix menu for $33. For the appetizer order the crab cake or the shrimp; for the entree order either the Ribs or the Filet Medallions; Dessert order either the Coconut Cake or the Key Lime Pie!

If you're looking for seafood, go to Dewey Destin's, Back Porch, or Pompano Joe's. Avoid AJ's (food quality and portions aren't as good as they were 10 years or so ago) and avoid Fudpucker's (bleh food).


As for breakfast, go to the Donut Hole.


And if you're looking for something else other than seafood, try Tuscany Italian Bistro. It's a somewhat upscale Italian restaurant operated by a former Hell Kitchen's contestant winner. We had a great waiter and he let my boyfriend (Hell's Kitchen fan) go to the kitchen and take a picture with Angelo. Waiter got a good tip from us that night!


I've heard Fat Clemenza's is good too but I haven't had the chance to go yet.
