The selection of food is good. The atmosphere with live music is fun and festive. They serve strong drinks, making them worth your money. The view of the Harbor-walk from the upper floor is wonderful as we got to see fishing boats come in and unload the day's catch. If you want fine dining,this this not the place,but if you... More

The view from our table was great, literally on the dock next to some charter fishing boats. We had some steamed oysters and AJ's fresh fish sandwich, both were scrumptious. Fresh, fresh, fresh! Our waiter was not the friendliest guy on earth but he was polite and efficient. The prices seemed a bit high for an area that is full... More

Food was good, but noting exceptional. Hubby had a fried platter of different seafood and I had seafood pasta. Both were just ok. I had the same seafood pasta at Mcguires a few nights later and it was much better. Price was a little high but the view was great.

Good food and the bands were really good. Super location to watch the boats come and go. We were at the Emerald Grande so it was an easy walk so did not have to worry about drinking. Bar staff was experienced and on the ball

Vacationed in destin for 7 days and ate here twice!! Great margaritas, and excellent she crab soup and French onion soup!! My husband had the grouper and cobia fish special topped with crab and it was to die for. The prices are great compared to other restaurants in the area! You can drive or arrive by boat!!

I really enjoyed AJ's! Great food, I recommend the Surf & Turf, an excellent blend of nice plump fried shrimp and a New York Strip. Excellent service! The place to go if you are a people watcher! Dock side, entertained by grumpy old pelicans and pirates! Entertainment. Loved The Experience! Had the BLT bloody mary, was scrumptious!
