Wonderful restaurant. Shabby chic vibes. Excellent food. I had the King Crab Dinner. My wife had a combo. Everything was very well prepared. All dinners come with a salad for the table. They only have one dressing and it's fantastic! The portions are large -...you won't leave hungry. I would definitely return.More

Very unassuming from the outside, but very nice inside. A little more upscale than most places in the area. Our server, Jill, was very good about suggesting dishes for us. Everything we had was really good. Tried their Key Lime Pie...not as good as another...place. Drinks were good too.More

I was on a couple of Facebook groups that talked about how good this place was. So we had to try it. I receive the worst King Crab Legs I ever eat. They had 0 taste and were so rubbery I could not even crack...them. Had to use the scissors to cut them open. My wife ordered the fresh catch of the day. Red Snapper Blacken. It was overcooked and thin as a cracker. The only thing that was worth eating was the steak NY Strip my son ordered. My son begged us to complain but we normally don't. So I didn't say anything. But I should have.More

If you have kiddos that are picky eaters this is not the place for you. The kids menu is lacking. The fish and steak were delicious, but the sides were not tasty. The vegetables all seemed like they were from the freezer. And they didn’t...come out hot. The filet and red snapper were great, get the rice as your side and you will be pleased. Family style salad was fresh and good!More

We tried dinner tonight and my wife ordered the tuna appetizer and it was excellent. My son & I both ordered "fresh catch" of the day blackened grouper. It was fresh caught in the Publix's frozen section and heated up in the microwave. You had...to forcefully cut it with the fork to eat it. It was tasteless. I've been vacationing here for 30 years and this is the worst fish I've had. The salad was family style and delicious. The waiter was good. The atmosphere was good.More

Some of the reviews classify this as a warehouse building which couldn’t be further from reality. An upscale building just off the beach with jazz themed decor, Old Bay Steamer is our new Walton Beach fave. Impeccable service, great cocktails…try their version of an Old...Fashion….and exceptional seafood. The king crab was the BEST!More

We drove up to this windowless building with some trepidation-it was dark and “unrestaurant” looking but, it had come well recommended. We were cheerfully greeted right at entry and immediately seated. Our waiter was a delight! Wish I had his name but you could just...ask for the gay, hippyish, Kansas grown, motorcycle guy with a mop of hair. Friendly, funny and entertaining. The interior is quirky and warm. We order the shrimp steamer - a HUGE platter of great tasting shrimp and a wonder crab cake plate. Really enjoyed our meal here. Recommend.More

I had the "Triple Steamer" - Grilled lobster tail, glazed scallops and skewered shrimp over rice. It was good, the scallops nothing to write home about. Blue Crab Claws appetizer - between three of us, none liked it. Everything else tasted pretty good, but for...the price we paid it should have been fantastic. Not a great value.More
