Aaron GrebnerJuly 28, 2014pretty crowded, but they had a cool service that text you when your table was ready. Great drinks, only negative was my chicken was a little too black and the vegetables with my dish were bland.
Jamie LynnApril 1, 2016Fun outdoor spot with live music on the roof! Tuna dip with crackers and mozzarella sticks (balls) were a yummy snack. Togo drinks that you can take on a walk on the pier
Andrea LeTardApril 9, 2011Good lunch with extensive menu. Firecracker shrimp is good. Drinks are weak... We asked for an Ezra shot in big margarita and bloody Mary. Awesome night time spot... Take friends here for party time!
Nicole TankovichMay 24, 2013Happy hour special: 1 doz fresh raw oysters for $7.95, Mon to Fri 11 am to 6 pm. The oysters were huge and delicious!
Vatche ArabianOctober 26, 2014A little expensive, but good food and atmosphere. The fried Mahi Mahi was excellent.
Elizabeth DorffMay 25, 2015Love this place for drinks at Club Bimini on the roof. Great view, good to start your night or end up here later!
Kaylie BradleyMarch 22, 2013The woo woo drink was great. Pretty cool that you get a free cup but I'm glad I didn't have to pay extra for it, it might not last long "it's not clink clink hard" more like 2 solo cups stacked.
Matt EllmerMarch 22, 2013So awesome truly one of the best if not the best food we ate all week. The Bimini bash was and is awesome.
Jill WAugust 13, 2011Sit downstairs & inside for a nice view with ac. The seafood bucket for 2 is $72...but easily fed my 2 teenage boys and hubby's jumped in and ate a ton.
Social News NetworkDecember 4, 2013The restaurant is right on the Harbor and has a great atmosphere. The food and drinks are really good.
Derdere DerdereApril 21, 2015Po'boy with shrimp was delicious. Servers were kind, ambiance is nice. Good place to have a nice dinner.
Nice big screen to watch sports. Good idea moving stage for performers. Way too many annoying cigarette smokers though. Ruins a potentially great venue.
Adam AtiqullahFebruary 26, 2014Bleh. Food is very average and like all seafood $$$.You would probably get the same quality food at Joe's Crabshack or some other chain. It is nice that the place is open air and on the water though..
Mengzhi WuAugust 13, 2017The baked potato in size and taste was far superior than the rest of the seafood platter combined. Shrimp, scallops, mussels in tiny watered down bowel, dry mahi, veges worse than frozen. Sad :(- Joe PAugust 9, 2014Great place for drinks and entertainment or if u want to b seen! Forget the grub!
- Carly KarasNovember 13, 2012Oysters are delicious and the best time to go is during the fishing rodeo in October!
Becky McDanielJanuary 24, 2011Go to the bar on Sunday nights 4-8pm to watch Jones and Company perform. That is my reason for going. Great place to see the sunset as well. Food was pretty good but overpriced.
Jordan RMarch 22, 2013Caution: crab cakes look larger in the picture than they are in real life. Good drinks.
- Alex PerkinsJune 11, 2011Perfectly cooked seafood bucket, right on the peer, great place for families (which makes it a bit noisy)
Tess SAugust 29, 2012It can get really windy! Be prepared to hold your beer non-stop...which you should be anyway
Ask for a cozy to keep your beer cold, it's a cool souvenir and it's free!!!!
Mandi MaganziniSeptember 20, 2014Roll Tide Roll! Great place to watch the bama game when they're playing FLORIDA!
Octavia NasrDecember 30, 2011"Firecracker Shrimp is yummy... It is sweet, spicy and delicious!" So says my Chef in training Aya (11 yrs old)
Steven EikenbaryOctober 11, 2013Want to pay outrageously for poor quality good? This is your place! Got the Run of the Kitchen (4-5 kinds of fried seafood), and the best thing on my plate was French fries.
Leon van MaurikNovember 28, 2018Friendly people and ok food. I had the chicken but it was a little cold.
Angela VaughnDecember 23, 2010Go set up for the afternoon at a table over looking the dock to watch the weigh ins during the Annual Destin Fishing Rodeo- Original Penguin HQMarch 5, 2012Enjoy the simple things in life. Try the no-frills steamer basket! -Original Penguin Destin Commons.
Danielle KarageorgiouSeptember 12, 2013Not a fan of the AJs dark lager, however everything else was awesome!
Fresh seafood, ice-cold drinks, and the friendliest staff in Destin!
