Very pleased with the food and the price. If you go between 4:30-8:00, the right side of menu is 1/2 price. I had the stuffed shrimp, my husband had the prime rib and fried shrimp, both very good. Much better food, and 1/2 the price of the meal we had at AJ's. Total bill, before tip, around $33. Will definitely... More

Food was wonderful. Great prices. No wait. Lovely quiet little place. We did not have dessert there as kids wanted Bruster's, but desserts sounded great too! Best seafood meal of our entire vacation!

The decor is a little outdated, but the food was one of the best meals we had in Destin. The prices are the best! Not expensive and the food is delish!

Our friend's dad goes to Destin every year and recommended this restaurant and we were not disappointed! A family of four eating for under $100 at a seafood joint around here is hard to find but here it is! From 4-8 everything on the right hand of the menu is 1/2 off and the Captain's Platter was well worth the... More

I ate here with a few coworkers and overall I was unimpressed. One of my coworkers wanted to eat here because between some times half of the menu is half off. Well, the prices were 2 times that of other restaurants so you really weren't getting that great of a deal. The portions are small and the food was okay.... More

We go here every year. Food is very good and prices are reasonable. Also not a long wait. Kinda off the beaten path, but worth finding it.

We ate at the Lighthouse based on Tripadvisor reviews and were not disappointed. The right side of the menu is half price between the hours of 4:30 and 8:00 pm. It turned out that on Wednesday when we ate there, they were open between 4:30 and 8 pm :>) The food was really good. My broiled grouper was moist and... More

It was our first visit, a neighbor at our hotel suggested we go and it was wonderful. I will say it was a little hard to find. It's behind a building that faces the main road, kinda tucked in the trees. It looks a little dated but we were there for the food. The staff was very friendly. The thing... More

Everyone in my party of four was very satisfied with our visit to the Lighthouse restaurant. I ordered a platter (off the 1/2 price side) which contained fish, scallops, shrimp and a crab cake. All items tasted great, presentation was very nice, and servings were ample. Normally, I would not order a platter thinking it too expensive, but at the... More

Seemed like the asparagus was out of a can, as did the chowder. Crab cakes did not seem to I have a lot of crab. Service was good. The half price side of the menu would have been overpriced at full price.
