    Food was good but not the best we’ve had. We were seated immediately with our reservation but it took an hour to get our food. Waitress was sweet and was doing her best seemed to have too many tables. We didn’t blame her for this as it was super crowded and one table was a large party that was very demanding. Glad we had the opportunity to try the restaurant but probably won’t go back.

    The service was great but seemed the food was a little over priced. Don’t skip out on dessert!

    This was one of the worst places to eat at in Destin. I was here on a family trip and was told to try this place. The service was horrible, I made a reservation and wasn’t seated until 40mins later. We waited 2 hours for our food and when address the manager he had nothing to say but it’s a busy day in the neighborhood. I would NOT recommend this restaurant to anyone. Bad service, and no consideration for their customers.

    Did not have a wait to get a table. That was the only positive. It took about 2 hours to get our food. The restaurant was not full , so not sure what took them so long.

    Reservation was at 6:30. Still had to wait 40 min to be seated. Waited at bar. Ordered a beer, bartender was so in the weeds with the service well that I never got the beer. Once seated, we ordered gumbo and shrimp cocktail and drinks. Those took 30 min. We never ordered dinner. Just tabbed or and left. The server Austin was really nice though. Everything else was awful.

    We had a reservation and were seated on time. We placed our order for 2 beers and 2 entrees. We were told the bar was backed up, and it would be a while. 30 minutes later, we got our 2 (canned) beers. After an hour passed, we asked when we might get our entrees. We were told soon. It turns out that our waitress never put in our order for food. When we finally got it, the steak was awful. It was as thin as a steak can be and way overcooked. We were offered a free dessert, which we declined. We just wanted to leave and forget about the whole experience.

    We had a reservation thinking we would get seated quickly, but we were wrong. Over a 30 minute wait even having the reservation. We had a group of 14 with two 4 year olds, which is why we made the reservation in the first place. The service was very slow, food and drinks. We had to ask for silverware twice. Food was OK, but one meal was cold. We will not be going back to Bubba Gump.

    The food and service was very bad. It took 25 minutes to get drinks. It took 30 minutes after that to get soup. The soup was cold. The food tasteless. The service like you never seen before.
