Worst dining experience we've had in Destin in over 20 years of visiting. Went for an early dinner at 4pm in the afternoon. TS Claudette was supposed to arrive around midnite so even though the wind was normal and no rain, the Mgr had ordered all of the windows shut. The Crab Trap just down the road had its windows open. It was very warm, the ...

Big disappointment. My wife and I went on a Wednesday night in July around 8:30. The wait was about 1 1/2 hours. The food was bland and cold. NOT at all worth the wait. We have far better seafood in Louisiana. Nice to be seated by the beach though.

Lousy cold food, lousy service. We waited 1 1/2 hours to even get into the restaurant. Once in there we placed our food order. We were told it would be another 30-40 minute wait for our food. So we ordered Queso and Chips. The queso was cold. I asked for warmer queso. The next batch was only slightly warmer. Our food finally arrived and it was ...

In Destin on vacation. Really long wait, but I expected that for a beach front seafood restaurant. Prices were fair for the amount of food (approx. $20 for entree and sides). Not a bad table in the place; beach views all around. Oysters on the half-shell were great. Crab cakes and fried platters were wonderful. The waiter we had was somewhat ...

Great seafood nachoes. Go when it's not busy. Service and the wait is too long. Bartenders need better personality.

Amazing atmosphere, great food, and fun for the whole family! When I have friends/ family come in from out of town Pompano Joe's is always the place that I take them and it is always a hit!

We lived in Destin for a year and Pompano Joe's was our favorite restaurant! The best gumbo and crab sandwich on the Emerald Coast. As a travel agent, I recommend this restaurant to everyone I send to Destin.
It's the best!
In summer, arrive early because there is a wait.

We hadn't heard about this place beforehand, but saw a billboard for it as we drove along rte 98. It was a beautiful day (Dec 31, 2007) and the idea of eating on the beach sounded great. The location was perfect: right on the beach, which was very clean and uncrowded. We waited about 20 min to be seated (it was mid-afternoon) and got the table ...
