Dewey Destin's Harborside

"I normally visit the other Dewey’s location (bayside), but I was more than pleasantly surprised when I opted for the harbor side. Kim was an amazing server and was particularly patient with the four children we had in our party of ten. I would go back tomorrow just for a plate of their hush puppies! Best I’ve had in the Florida Panhandle. Their hot sauce is fantastic as well. Great experience overall. We even were visited by some of the friendly local wildlife in the parking lot afterwards. If you’re wanting a semi casual dining experience with a great view of the water, look no further than here!"

"We enjoyed a delicious lunch here! My uncle and I had the fresh catch of the day, which was triple tail. We both had it blackened and on a sandwich. I also had the collard greens & coleslaw and both were so good!! My hubby had a grilled chicken sandwich and it was tender and delicious! My Aunt had fried oysters and loved every one! We had a super kind server and enjoyed the harbour view!!"

"We absolutely loved this place! We decided to go to Destin for the very first time for a day and chose this place to eat at. I had a lunch special on Saturday and my husband had a dinner plate. It was VERY reasonably priced. We sat outside on the heated porch and it was wonderful. Our waiter was so nice and gave us a lot of recommendations. They gave us complimentary Cole slaw and it was very good. It had a little sweetness and creaminess. The shrimp was perfectly cooked and their sauces we absolutely delicious. The cheesy grits were so good. We definitely will be back when we go to Destin!"

"As you pull in, there are two parking lots with entrances easily accessible to both. When you walk up to Dewey's you follow a path and walk through a cute outdoor eating area with garden tables and beautiful shade outside the building. As we entered the facility, we were greeted by a very nice hostess and given the option to either stay inside the building or go outside. We chose to go outside to enjoy the atmosphere. It is winter, so they had the outdoor heating lamps on above the tables on the porch facing the water. It was delightful. As the sun got warmer, a turned off the heating lamps unless you requested them to turn back on. As for our lunch? My family ordered hot crowd dip as an appetizer, but I was not a fan of it... It was tasty, just didn't like the texture combined with the temperature of the dip. The rest of the table loved it! Lunch? OMGosh! Best stuff shrimp I've every had at a restaurant! 5 large shrimp, stuffed with tender blue crab and wrapped in bacon and came with a side of homemade remoulade (with my chosen sides of french fries and hush puppies)! Yummo My sister had the same, but chose collard greens an cheese grits for her sides. She agreed on the shrimp. However, we were told the collard greens were not spicy. At first when you take a bite of the collards they're very tasty but they have this little bit of heat. The heat sits in your throat and expands until you feel it everywhere. It was a good heat, but it was definitely spicy. My nephew, father, and family friend chose the grilled grouper sandwich (normally comes with tomato & lettuce, but it was so tasty that they decided to have them included) Delicious! My knee's got the blackened grouper and loved every bite! All orders came with the side of coleslaw automatically. It is mayonnaise base, so if You prefer vinegar-based coleslaw this wouldn't be your side and you can request not to have it served. Our waitress Nikki was fantastic! She was personable, knowledgeable, and just a wonderful addition into experiencing a delicious lunch at such a great restaurant."

"This is a must stop and enjoy restaurant! With the prefect harbor view and delicious food, GOT to have a slice of the Key Lime Pie. You will not be disappointed and highly satisfied with your choice of eating here! I had to Blackened Grouper with cheese grits and fries that came with side of coleslaw. I did get an appetizer which was the yummy Hot Crab Dip! The waitress was very polite and helpful! 5+ stars all the way!"
