Reviews for Pompano Joe's in Destin, FL
This place is awesome! We showed up at 530. There was a 45 min wait. Which gave us time to enjoy a few drinks and take in the... setting sun. So beautiful! Once inside we were seated with a nice view of the beach and evening sky. We had the mojo shrimpappetizers, grouper with crab and steak and shrimp kabobs. Everything was perfectly prepared. Our server was prompt and kept ourdrinks flowing. This a must go place if you are in the panhandle of FL!! Read more
Fast, friendly, speedy service. Came during Happy Hour and took advantage of drink and appetizer specials. The "pork" nachos... were easily the best pick among the three we sampled (nachos, fried mozzarella sticks, and fried calamari). I put pork in quotesbecause I could have sworn we were eating beef instead. Didn't taste like pork at all. Regardless, they were tasty and theportion was hearty. My wife took advantage of the $6 margaritas. She thought they were strong and after 2, had a little buzzgoing. I had a couple of the $3 drafts. Would we go back? Yeah, for those "pork" nachos if nothing else. If outside of HappyHour though, I'd be hard-pressed to pay the going rates for the entrées. Read more
The food, the drinks, the service, and the atmosphere makes this place a must go back on my list. Despite the longest wait time... given. But ???? The sea scallops are great, as well as the crab cakes and grouper and lobster dinner, the twice baked potatoswere very good. I can't wait to go back. Cons: 2hr wait time on a Thursday Night, but it was worth it; The restrooms are so cutebut could be dried up occasionally specially at night the floor was very wet. Read more
"Can we please get some sea salt from the ocean to add to this flavorless food"? That's what came to mind while tasting the... food. I had the fried snapper which left me disappointed. My lovely wife had the blackened scallops.We have a family of six andI tasted everyone's dish. We had high expectations because the food smelled so good every time we walked by the restaurant. Thefood just doesn't taste as good as it smells. I did love the atmosphere and the service was great. I'd recommend if you likebland food. Read more
Best fried coconut shrimp I've eaten anywhere. Great fried calamari that was tender and not overdone. My wife was impressed with... their sea scallops. While the crab cakes are full of meat, they weren't seasoned right and were very bland. Couldn't recommendthe crab cakes but excellent restaurant otherwise. Read more
Very olease with all our food and drinks! Would have love to dine in, so I advise you to go early. We enjoyed the lunch... specials. Try the salmon, shrimp, and jerk egg rolls. Trust me you won't be disappointed. Visit the bar on the lower level for atasty drink beach side!!! The service here is exceptional! Read more

What a location. Right on the edge of the beach, amazing views of the gulf. Plenty of seafood options. I met a friend and his... family so I was lucky and didn?t have to wait. Set right down and was greeted by the waiter who took my drink order. We startedwith the tuna dip served with pita bread. Highly recommend. Great flavor. I could have eaten this in a meal. Fantastic! Iactually went for the chicken fettuccine on this visit and wasn?t disappointed. Highly recommend Read more
