We first ate lunch here after arriving for our weekend in Destin. My wife and I both had the Po Boy Oyster sandwich with fries which was delicious! There was no wait on a Friday close to 1:00 . We were waited on immediately and the food arrived within minutes we were very pleased. We decided to return the next day for dinner because we wanted a nice seafood dinner and they had for dinner exactly what we wanted and we loved the atmosphere as well as the great service. My wife wanted broiled scallops only because she wasn’t as hungry due to lunch as she hoped. They didn’t have just scallops without a 2nd seafood item however I asked if she could just get scallops and they said yes. She got the twice baked potato as well with coleslaw both were delicious. I got the Broiled Jubilee with Gulf Shrimp, Scallops, Mahi Mahi and one of our famous Crab Cakes. This was absolutely delicious!!! We were so glad we went here everything was perfect and just like lunch on Friday this was Saturday about 6:30 and even though it was crazy busy again we were seated immediately no wait as well as the food arrived quickly and again the waitress was great! We highly recommend eating here you won’t be disappointed!!!

We came to this place after dinner time and I wasn’t super hungry. I was really just looking to have a few beers and look at the menu. I ended up getting the gumbo and panko shrimp scampi and a bunch of the beers on tap and a rum punch. This place did not disappoint as our server Corey was superb! The food was on point! The drinks were also very good as the beers were from local breweries. I would say my only complaint was the beer was served in plastic cups and not frosty mugs. Can’t wait to come back for the other dishes and experience it during the day time for some of the views of the ocean. Fantastic spot!

Touristy, but good! It’s the back porch, you know what to expect, and it’s good! I had the amberjack sandwich and their gumbo. Goth great portions and super tasty. The hushpuppies were also worth getting! Great season view and ambiance here. A must stop in Destin

Food was amazing! Service was spot on. First time here, saw several dishes being delivered to tables around us. Plates were full, large portions. I feel the prices were good for the amount of food you got. Had a couple mixed drinks that were on special. I expected them to be light pour, but was shocked they were a good pour, well worth the money. My server was ASHA, she was polite, friendly and very attentive. I got the fish basket and my wife had the blacken grilled grouper. All and all, I score this dinner a 10!

Awesome seafood restaurant that also has a great cause attached.
Came here with a co-worker after a long day of working in the panhandle Florida area.
Had been recommended this place by locals and it did not disappoint.
The place was absolutely packed but we still got a table in under an hour. The bartenders were really friendly. Were able to get drinks while we waited.
The service at the table was great. Our waiter was extremely helpful with the menu and the different variations of things and he even offered some suggestions. There’s a good selection of beers and some of the purchase of a beer goes towards their local rescue.
They also have a gift shop where certain shirts go towards the local rescue. So of course I bought one. They also have a gift shop where certain shirts go towards the local rescue. So of course I bought one.
The food was also really good, especially the seafood. My cohort said the oysters were amazing.
Overall, I highly recommend The Back Porch. Don’t miss out!!

Sit on the Gulf, get the grilled Amberjack sandwich, watch the sunset, let the kids run on the beach while you wait, great beer selection – the best. They do get busy! Great service and people. Visit Zoltar at the Candy Shop when you’re done.

We enjoyed a great lunch there! I had the fish tacos, my husband had the cheeseburger and both were delicious but the service was really nice. Our waitress was very attentive and kind in spite of being busy. The view from our table was amazing. Definitely will be back!

My friend and I went here for our last night in Destin, and the food did not disappoint! The appetizers were delicious — the crab and artichoke dip was super flavorful, the calamari was perfectly cooked, and the oysters were incredibly cheesy (in the best way!).
Entrées were around $40–$45 per plate, and everything we ordered was worth it — fresh, well-seasoned, and full of flavor. The service was exceptional; our server was attentive and friendly.
The only thing that could be improved is the atmosphere — it was okay, but with a few updates, it could really match the quality of the food and service.
Overall, a great dining experience to end our trip on a high note!

When we ate lunch here, we were totally enthralled with the view. The food was delicious, right on the shore, and we had amazing views of the water. It was open-air seating. We enjoyed our meal; I had the Greek salad with mahi. Absolutely delicious! Our server was great; Baioli our server took great care of us!
