We ate at Stinky's last week--we are locals and wait until the tourists clear out and there are no lines. The Appalachicola oysters are phenomenal this time of year. They have become well known for excellent preparations of local fresh seafood. The wahoo special was superb---blackened just right with grits and good veggies. Their fried shrimp and oysters are fantastic.... more

Fresh,fresh,fresh. Expertly prepared. It's like they have moved the original Stinky's from Santa Rosa Beach to Tallahassee--even the sign! It won't take you long to have your own set of favorites. Everything is made on site with the exception of the poor boy bread that is brought over from New Orleans. There is a smoker in the back that had... more

Food is average, nothing special. Service was awful, we had a big group so the waiter knew he would get his 20% so he didn't do much for us. The food was overpriced for the quality. I paid $80 total for two people for a meal that wasn't worth $30. The hostess said the wait was 15 minutes it was... more

My husband and I took a quick getaway without children to Sandestin and decided on Stinky's for lunch (despite the name). The parking was no problem (no valet at lunch), and the restaurant was not too crowded. We were seated quickly and the waiter went overboard to please us. The food (grilled grouper sandwich, shirmp po boy and seafood gumbo)... more

Considering the parking was valet only, I had pretty high expectations for Stinky’s. Unfortunately, my excitement diminished upon entering the restaurant. The atmosphere was as aesthetically pleasing as an Applebee’s. The staff was hanging out shooting the breeze at the hostess stand so our group of four could barely fit in the door. The menu was limited, even for a... more

My family and I just got back from eating at Stinky's Fish Camp this evening, 8/25/09. When we drove in the parking lot we asked to park our own car, because we have a brand new car we purchased the day that we drove down to Florida. We were told that it was only valet parking, and if we wanted... more

Ate here with my family of 4 8/19. We were looking for good local seafood, and chose this place based on the tripadvisor ratings. We were not disappointed. The food was excellent and the service first class. This place is somewhat "out of the way" and it was not very crowded on the Wed night we were there. Two of... more

The menu is very creole inspired and the dishes are too busy. The atmosphere is loud....the only thing Stinky's has going for it is it's view. I wouldn't return. more

Stinky's Fish Camp is one of the best restaurants in South Walton, if not THE best. Our service is impeccable. We arrived early, before they began serving the full dinner menu, so we had a drink at the bar. First of all, the bartender was wonderful. While we were waiting, he was able to recommend several great wines under $30... more

My wife and I sit at the bar for quick seating and great service from our beverage counselor "Doughnut" Grouper squares are awesome, fried green tomatoes with crawfish etouffee...a special find...and everything else just plain good. A destination spot for sure...have "Doughnut" fix you a "Dark and Stormy" And if waiting in line bugs you, go mid week...and if it... more
