We had an amazing time! Ian provided such wonderful service! He was attentive, very personable, and took the time to walk us through the menu and offer his insights when asked. His recommendations were spot on! The Voodoo Magic drink bucket was so good! The food came out quickly, was delicious, and were very generous portions. We will DEFINITELY be back the next time we are in town and hope to see Ian again!

Our server GRANT was exceptional. Our food was so good. The atmosphere is great for kids, and there is so much to do and see. Even on Memorial Day the service was quick. Definitely recommend Grant as your server.

1st time visiting this place based on the reviews. Our waitress, Sarah V, was amazing!! The food was great, and in good amount of serving, had no room for dessert. They had alligator shows. And they had live gators to view for free, you can even feed them. This is a great spot, esp for tourists. They started a gator fest every first weekend of May.

The food was great we all started eating before I could take pictures but definitely good sized portions. Drinks were amazing! The live gators were pretty cool. You can feed them and take pictures holding them. A very neat experience!

Walking in was interesting (good interesting), staff was very kind seating us. Our waitress, Sarah V, was outstanding. She had such a kind smile and she was genuine. She is the kind of waitress you want. She makes sure you have everything you need and checks on you just the right amount of times. She even throws in some good conversation! Highly recommend!

We visited from Mississippi and I absolutely will be back. The food was so good and the service was fast. Ms. Teresa was our waiter and she was so friendly and nice. She made some good recommendations off the menu and everything was spot on. I love the environment!! A wonderful place to eat and visit plus the baby gators are so cute! Definitely family oriented.

Tracy was amazing. Provided lots of good information. The food was pretty good. I don’t even like hush puppies but these was pretty good. Nice and crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside. Seasoned just right. I had a Hawaiian Margarita and it was tasty. Expensive but it’s seafood.

If you're looking for a great meal and entertainment for the family this is the place to go. We went on a Friday afternoon around 3:00 and there were plenty of tables available. The service was fast and the food was great I experienced my first gator burger! Erica was fast and efficient with her service! Even if this place was busy and had a long wait there's plenty of options to entertain you while you wait. A must visit when you are in the Destin area. An added bonus was 80s music videos playing on TV's nearby.
