I go every year but can’t remember half of them. I like donut hole, fat Clemenza’s and Dewey Destin as staples. Seems restaurants go down while others/new become popular. All the way from Destin to 30a. $-$$$.

Been to Stinky’s over that way?

Pescado was really good when we went.

Cafe Thirty-A is our favorite but lately we have been going to the Emeril's in the Grand Blvd. development because it is closer to where we stay. . I am going in two weeks and plan to go to both of those places.

If your up for the drive down to Panama City. Firefly is my new fav for finer dining. (Since the closer of Pandora’s) Don’t be fooled by the exterior of this place

Went to Destin a couple weeks - this was my best meal while I was there.


The Back Porch

Great smoked tuna dip appetizer.

There’s an app you can use to sign in early...it’ll tell you how long you have to wait so you don’t have to show up early. IDK what it is, I always delete it after vacation.

The Craft Bar has good beer and acceptable food options.

Sushimoto is pretty good too.

Just got back yesterday from Destin. We stay on Old Hwy 98 so many of my choices are geared towards staying nearby.

We go to Mimo's every time. Very good Italian. We also tried a new place (for us) called Pazzo Italiano. It was good but I was fairly drunk so don't hold me to it. We normally go to Fat Clemenza's but didn't go this time.

I highly recommend Brotula's. Never been disappointed and had some very good meals there. I got the cast iron snapper and it was wonderful. One of the best cooked Snapper filets I ever had. It was laid over roasted potatoes and covered in a sauce.

We went to Captain Dave's for the first time. It was okay but nothing special. Very nice views as it's right on the beach. The jumbo shrimp were also pretty good.
