Going to be there mid May. Not super concerned about price so much as the good food and atmosphere.

All garbage above

Breakfast - donut hole
Lunch - dewey destins (there are 2 of them), Harbor Docks, Boshamps, or Local Market
Dinner - Harbor Docks or Boshamps

eta: landsharks and mcguires are fine, but they're far from the tops in destin. Mcguires good for burger and atmosphere, bad for nasty beer brewed on site. landshark good for wings/bar food but not much else. hot waitresses on occasion.

My favorite is Cafe Thirty-A right outside of Destin.

Mimmo's Italian restaurant is very good and has excellent pizza.

Bistro Bijoux at Baytown Wharf.

Honorable mention:

Marlin Grill, also at Baytown.

Emeril's Coastal can be good but I find is not as good as it was when it first opened.

Everyone recommends Boshamps. I have never been there. I am going to Destin the first week in June and will have to check it out.

It’s great food! Get there very early or expect a wait but it’s worth the wait.

Thanks for the comments. We don’t go to Destin to eat but we are interested in the original Dewey Destin that is just a walk-up. Is that the one you guys are talking about?

Listed Bud & Alley’s mainly for the best scenery in the area (in more ways than one). I’ve found the food to be good enough. Listed George’s at Alys Beach because I can’t imagine being in Destin for an extended stay without at least one trip down 30A to Rosemary Beach.

Cafe 30-A and Cuvée 30A are awesome but they are minimum 45 min from Destin FWIW. They are near Rosemary Beach almost to Panama City
