The oysters are amazing. Fresh or chargrilled. We arrived early we had to wait on soups. Chicken tortilla soup was the best. The place is spread out so you might order at bar and they deliver food to you but great views and awesome oysters. Live music which was very nice.

We were IMMEDIATELY welcomed by Heather and she was our girl!! She welcomed a straight forward beer order and my request for a random gin drink (it’s my new favorite). Her service, and Brittany’s, were amazing and we’re excited to come back next time we’re in town. Don’t skip on the boiled peanuts OR the special oyster of the day. Staff is incredible/ personable and the atmosphere is perfect for ending a beach day. (Pictured is the aftermath and a drink she recommended/ we ended up loving too)

This place is an amazing low key hangout/ bar restaurant/ dock/ convenience store all in one. It was my first time there. I’ll definitely be back. Shannon the bartender!!!! Gorgeous inside and out. Made me feel like we had been friends for years. I got the seafood gumbo!!!! It was everything! Just spicey enough that you know the New Orleans flare was there, but not crazy hot that your taste buds dye of hot spice pain. The atmosphere is whatever you want. There is inside, outdoor, full Sun, shade. I stayed just watching the boats go by, enjoying all the water activity until my white skin said enough.

It was a great experience. The quality of raw oyster was exceptional. We love the vibe and everything. Just the waiting time is a bit long so if you bring your kids, it will be challenging.

Delightful spot with flavorful dishes and good service. Nice harbor view and atmosphere of the hustle and bustle of the docks.
We were fortunate to watch as a 325 pound swordfish was brought in and weighted. What a cool experience!

This place was great. Its a classic bar/live music in Destin type of place, but the hidden gem here is the food. Amazing food with some really great options! So you can come to just get some drinks and hangout, or get a really nice meal. Preferably both! Would recommend.

Boathouse Oyster Bar is the absolute best place to get oysters!!! My husband and I eat at a lot of different restaurants and this one rates at the top for us! We make it a point to visit this place at least once during our vacations to Florida. The past two years we’ve had Megan as our server and she is fantastic! The atmosphere, the food, everything! I hesitate to even put this out there because we love the “dive bar/local” feel of it … I would hate for it to get too well known! But, if you’re looking for great oysters, this is your place!
Note: they do not have any fried food, but there are plenty of other really good options if oysters aren’t your thing. Our kids love the cheeseburgers!
Enjoy!!
