Love this little restaurant. Seating during the busy times is limited, so come early for the best table. Seafood is always fresh and local when appropriate for Gulf seafood. Preparation doesn't over do breading so the seafood flavor comes through. Sides are southern goodness. Cheese...grits could use more cheese and butter, but are OK. Coleslaw is one thing I find difficult to please me, but Emerald Isle is perfect taste-just right amount of sweetness and dressing, though it is overly finely chopped. Hush puppies are crisp, but tender inside. All sides, especially fried okra are excellent. Servers are professional, yet warm and friendly. They check back often to make sure all needs are met.More

Best Seafood Place in Town Great fresh sea food with wide variety. Daily specials are a great deal. Crisp batter is never over coated or grease soaked. Just the tight amount of donenes to stay moist, but crisp for friend seafood

We started out with the tuna dip that was excellent with fresh smoked tuna. This is probably the same tuna salad that is on their sandwich so don’t hesitate to get it. We ordered the fish tacos and scallops. The fish tacos were fresh and...excellent with wasabi aioli. The scallops were tiny so not sure if you can get larger ones but they were tasty. The cheese grits are amazing too!More

We have always loved Emerald Isle until this past weekend. When we entered to a less than half full dining room we requested a table for 4 since we needed some extra room, which the response was we can't do that since we are taking...turns which made no since because it was a special request that could easily be accommodated. A couple came in right behind us and was immediately seated at a table for 4. We have always appreciated the portion sizes at Emerald Isle however I ordered the crawfish tails for $11.50 that came out in what can only be described as a small saucer with about 20 very small tails at the most. Meals were not up to par as is usually the case and it's very doubtful if we will be returning.More

I must say, my husband and I traveled from northern VA to Fort Walton, Beach/Panama City/Pensacola to watch our son play baseball this week, and out of all the places we tried and/or had available to us, we were very, very lucky to find Emeral...Isle Seafood Restaurant. The service and food were better than anything we have had in Florida, and anywhere between Virginia and Florida in quite a while. The seafood was fresh and of the highest quality and the cooks (husband and wife team) are amazing in their skills and preparation! Thank you to the cooks, the host, and the waiter and waitress who served us not once but twice during our stay in Florida.More

We had not been there since 2019 because they were on limited hours because of the virus. The food quality was a good as ever and the service superb. Our waitress was Jamie who did a fabulous job of getting the food out even though...they were short-handed. She also managed to take time to be friendly with her customers which made the trip even better. We keep going back for the food and service.More
