We're on the way to Sandestin for a few days and need restaurant recommendations. We usually go to Louisiana Lagniappe at least once. We went to Dewey Destin's last time, but I wasn't too impressed. Long wait for mediocre food. I don't mind eating at a hole in the wall dive as long as the food is good. Whatcha got???
Edit: needs to be kid friendly.
Take a little drive across the bay and eat at Nick's (on the bay). They catch most of what the serve right there locally. So they are serving about as fresh as you can get. We were there a couple of weeks ago and he was bringing in the crabs from their traps. One of the patrons asked if he would bring one if for his kids to see. It is a hole in the wall place, but their food is really good and they are very hospitable. I don't think you will be disappointed. I'm a local and that's where I prefer to eat seafood.
