My wife and I recently ate at Staffs for the first time. We had heard that the restaurant was pricey, but this was not the case. Money is no object to us, but if you are on a budget, the price ranges are accommadating. My steak was perfectly cooked and tender. My wife's snapper was amazing. Service was excellent. After... more

The grilled shrimp and amberjack was fantastic. Service was polite and attentive. The restaurant needs a facelift, looks like an old 70's restaurant. However, the food was great and normally priced for the area. more

I live in Elberta/Orange Beach area of Alabama. We have our share of good restaurants, but NONE that compare to Staff's. i found this site a few minutes ago when I was looking for their phone number and saw where someone had written a bad review. I have eaten at Staff's since the '70's. Never had a bad meal or... more

We visited Staff's after Labor Day when things in Fort Walton are not very busy, and we arrived at the restaurant a little late in the dinner hour so there we were amongst only 3 or 4 occupied tables. I would assume during the peak season Staff's would be a little busier. The service was friendly, and the food was... more

The food at Staffs was not very good considering the price you pay. The waitress was very nice and the atmosphere was good but the price we paid for the quality of our meal was horrible. more

The service was excellent--waiters were very attentive and personable. We especially enjoyed the salad and homemade dressings along with the bread; also the onion rings. Our group had fried shrimp and grilled amberjack. Food was fresh and tasty, but could have been served slightly warmer. Enjoyed their key lime pie for dessert. Would definitely return again. Price comparable to area. more

We just finished eating dinner at Staff's Restaurant. We were in search of a steak dinner. Having read the side billboard when passing by during the week we decided to give it a try. If we had not been so hungry we probably would have gotten up and left upon looking at the ridiculous prices for steak. Some of the... more
