Resturant in Ft Walton Beach--kids, dolphins???

[DD]

Dewey Destin's is located on a road called Calhoun. It is the last road before you go over the Desitn bridge to the right. Immediately when you turn on Calhoun take the 2nd driveway past some shabby looking buildings til the road ends. Dewey Destin's is a little shack on the water with picnic tables on the dock. Great fish sandwich.

Yeah, that's it.

We just got back from Destin and visited Ft Walton quite a lot. We thought about Dewey Destin's, but decided not to because we were not sure if they'd have a high chair because it is so casual, so if you need a high chair, I'd call first. We have three kids ages 8, 6, and 1 1/2. We ate at: The Black Pearl (expensive)... but in a cool area, the coolest I've seen for kids because there's a nice playground RIGHT ON the BEACH! AWESOME. There were other restaurants there, including the Crab Trap (which is everywhere, but we never went to that one) We also ate at: Gilligans (nice view of boats, the kids liked it), and Pompano Joe's on scenic 98 was really nice as well, but go between 2-4 to avoid waiting. Food here was the best fish we had on the island. All the kids meals were expensive... at least 6.00, most of the time we paid at least 7.00. We got smart toward the end and just purchased an adult meal and split it for them... for only 8.00 total for two kids. Gilligans only gave my kids 1 chicken finger and 5... I tell you, ONLY 5 french fries. Thank goodness they messed up their order and the kids got two orders each because it wasn't enough food for them for just one meal. The kids meals in general are a rip-off everywhere we went. And there were NO kids cups. Fine for older kids, but my youngest wants to drink out of a cup with a straw like his brothers and styrofoam just doesn't hold up to a 1 1/2 year old. Have FUN! We did!
