Love the fish and the view! Stuffed shrimp is delicious! I'm not an oyster person, but a friend of ours is and he said they were great. The oyster shack is just outside the main restaurant. We eat here every year!

Will never go back. While on our family vacation we visited Dewey destin, and it was not at all what we expected. The restaurant came highly recommend by the staff working in our condo, so looking for a good seafood meal we decided to try it. There was a very long wait and that was to be expected, but we...

Came from Perdido Key just to eat at Dewey Destin. Always have to go whenever we're anywhere close. Food just as good as remembered. Fried shrimp basket and the soft shelled crab basket. Excellent.

Great place to eat especial during sunset! Barely any wait here when you have to wait for an hour or more on every restaurant in Destin!

My daughter got the fish platter and has been very sick for 4 days! The food was not nearly as good as the reviews made it sound! The hush puppies were very good, but the fish was very dry and obviously not handled right! They are way over priced for the quality of food! Will never eat there again! As... More

The food was very good, especially the hot crab meat dip.....yummy. But we all thought the prices were too high. This will keep us away. We really like the outdoor seating with the excellent view of the harbor.

Have eaten at Dewey's several times and what keeps bringing us back is the quality of food. Whether it is deep fried, baked, or grilled you cannot go wrong here, and what makes the difference is the quality of the ingredients. you can taste the freshness. It is a little pricey, but well worth the splurge if you plan on... More

This is not what you may expect as you drive up to it or walk inside, but don't judge a "book by it's cover." It's AMAZING food!! This is what I call a "hole in the wall" place & they are sometimes the best places to eat. This was our second time here & it was as good as our... More

We have been to destin many times and had never heard of dewey destin until I found it here. I had it on my must go list! The reviews seemed to point to the Calhoun location. We went there first. Hole in the wall place cooks out of a trailer looking thing over looking crab island. This would be the... More
