The time it took to cook the food was very short and the food was cooked perfectly. Our order was for carry out.
Great food and service. The tables and interior of the facility are a bit worn.
Waitress was great, but it ends there. Food quality was very poor, and prices too high. Fish not cooked thoroughly, fries super hard-hard, smallest oysters ever all breading, and the nachos was basically a raw salad. The cheese wasn’t melted, the queso was non-existent except for a small spoonful in the bottom center, and no salsa came with them. Very poor experience, other than the woman who served us. Never going back!!
To God Be All The Glory. The food was excellent. First time participating in "Happy Hour"
Our experience was fabulous. Our waitress was wonderful and the meal was excellent.
EVERYONE WAS GREAT!!!
The shrimp had too much breaking and the bacon was raw inside
The oysters were wonderful (expensive) and my seafood platter was cold and greasy. Drinks are pricey too!
Food was great and our waitress was extremely accommodating to our large party.
The food was fresh and very tasty! The waiter was prompt and very attentive.
Service and food both great, and consistent.
Some food was very good others not so good. Steak was ok. Bad:$22 for 6 shrimp.
our waitress was very short with us and very unattentive, had to find her in one instance. then when our disatisfaction was expressed to her , she wanted to argue about it !
Great service and food
Fried oysters was my goal and you provided me the means. They were delicious!!!
Bar is OK but rather loud for mother & daughter. It WAS a good deal until you changed the restaurant.com coupon to $75. rather that $50. Good but not THAT good.
good food and service
Buttered Cajun shrimp was marvelous!
Server was excellent.
The owner, Charlie, makes O'Quigley's a local and tourist favorite with his customer attention and consistently tasty menu.
Not enough potatoes and corn.
The food taste really good. Our server was very courteous.

It was very quick for us to get a table. Once sat down we were able to get our drinks and place orders quickly. While waiting on food we enjoyed playing games in the arcade. The food was also great!

All food freshly prepared from scratch!
The entrees were great. Wonderful steak and crab legs.
Food was great service was slow
We ordered the Dingy for two...is always great and plenty for two people with huge appetites!
Great service and food!
The seafood platter that feeds 4-6 was plenty for 4 adults and 3 kids.
I would give it a five but the restaurant seems understaffed.
The food was great and the service excellent.
The waiter was very nice and the food was great.
Great crablegs
Food was awesome and plenty of it
Food is fabulous! Service, top notch! Great selection and even the often ignored sides are above par!
Server was good...manager came by twice to check on us...great TVs...steamed food was better than the fried
Our waitress was awesome, the manager was also and all the other employees too. The menu was great....so many different types of food choices. Our food was EXCELLENT
The wait staff was friendly and prompt, the food was delicious, and the atmosphere is fun and family friendly
I wish they offered coleslaw and not the garnish slaw but real coleslaw as a side dish.
The service was great. The crab legs were cooked just right and the place was clean. I enjoyed my self and so did my friends.
Excellent service - superbly prepared food.
Awesome Destin seafood and great service. Gun place!!
Did not have blue crab, the main reason we went there
The emerald was great
We definitely didn't expect food that good from a sports bar. We bought the $50 coupon so we had to spend $100. We ordered so much food and every single thing was delicious. We were genuinely surprised how good each thing was.
Fast, and friendly servers and food to table.
Food was kind of expensive and not that great
Food choices and quality of food
food was great, service was awesome and atmosphere was good. each table has a TV tuned to sports too.
Good place top get together, service was very good, the owner Charlie came and check on us and we talk for a while. Just a great evening
Service needs to be improved. No refills on drinks. Had to ask.
Crab legs are always great at O'Quigley's!
Food was okay. My steak was rare not medium which was how I ordered it. Waitress was not very quick. Shrimp were small and not too many for price.
The food and service were excellent!
Great server, selection, drink specials, and best of all the food!!
Service was good. We had a big group and the they did a good job keeping up with all of our needs.
great food and service
Their steamed crab and shrimp are THE BEST!!
One of the people in the party's food came out incorrect it was supposed to be grilled and brought it out fried. Then after 20 minutes we advised the waiter to forget it. The waiter brought us the food to go, but it was still fried never received the grilled fish.
Very good food.
Delicious
Crab legs are great! butter was terrible
Very good service and good food.
food was just basic pub fare, salad bar was ok but blue cheese dressing was so odd.
I had the corn beef, it was the worst of my life. My wife had the crab legs however, and they were very good.
Great service and food!
Server was great, very friendly. Food was very good.
Jumbo scallops (seared) were the best ever. Seafood platter well presented, and the potatoes were excellent. Not fond of the coleslaw, but that is one's personal taste.
The steamer seafood was so good! We got the huge one for the 4 adults at our table. We took home 5 boxes after eating a ton of food. Everything was so fresh! 3 kinds of crab, huge shrimp, mussels, clams, potatoes, and corn seasoned in Old Bay. We will definitely be back!!!
Everyone here is extremely nice and helpful!
Excellent salad and tuna, husband had wonderful blackened snapper. Waiter was superb.
We ordered the Emerald Grande Steamer and it was prepared to perfection. Our service was a little on the slow side and our drinks needed refills, but other than that we have been there before and the service was excellent.
Loved the server!
food was good, server not very attentive, but was pleasant and helpful
What they call "cole slaw" was spicy / German style and not suitable for a fish diner.
Three out of four of the entrees were very good-sized. One (fried shrimp dinner) seemed skimpy on the portion which is why I didn't rate it a 5.
Excellent food and service.
great food
Great food, interesting atmosphere
All food seasoned and prepared well.Lots of menu choices as well as price choices.
Only place we could find Apalachicola oysters raw, and we loved them
Really nice atmosphere. It was great that they have menu options to fit every budget!
King Crab was excellent !
O'Quigley's has the best burger in town, hands down.
Food was just average and not very warm. We have eaten here in the past and the food was much better
Nice atmosphere, friendly server, great food.
Didn't see the server very much for refills
Didn't see the waitress very often for refills
We are on vacation. Best meal we have had in Destin.
Great waitress and her comments to the kids made their day.
We were apprehensive since the reviews were either hot or cold. We didn't have any of the issues but didn't order crab which seems to be the major area of concern.
great food and service
One of the worst experiences, ever. Terrible service, awful food. Took 30 minutes to get drinks. Food, when it finally arrived. was inedible. Over cooked and over salted. My husband's food cam out 15 minutes before mine. Not exactly what we thought would be a great restaurant. Would not recommend. Even paying the bill was a total project! Our waitress was clueless and the manager seemed to be confused. Will never return to this place. So sad since the restaurant is the same as our last name and we thought it would be memorable! It was but for the wrong reasons.
Great raw oysters, crab claws and grilled grouper.
Terrific overall experience... Food, service, price...
Sat at the bar, the bartender was more interested in visiting with friends than serving us. Have discontinued drink and food specials, so little incentive to visit for late-night eating.
Great experience for game time. The food and service was spot on! We return every year when we return to Destin. Thanks....Janet and Steve from Minneapolis.
Love the dingy.
It was a girls night out and it was a nice atmosphere, very attentive waitress, and great food.
Great atmosphere!
Great Service and Great Food.
They could be better if they treat the customers a lot better.
The seafood platter was awesome. The shrimp was the best!
It was very confusing. There were specials and happy hours however, they were not available to us because we were using restaurant.com so everything we were ordering had two prices.
Great food!!
Service was slow. Our server did not notice we needed drink refills. We had to get up and get her attention. We had the Hot wings, which were spicy, so we were very thirsty. This is the first time in a while we have experienced poor service.
Great seafood steamers! Also, great service!
Meal was great! We ordered chips and salsa, salsa great , chips were very oily.
Meal was great! We ordered chips and salsa, salsa great , chips were very oily.
Our server was awesome and very helpful with answering all our quedtions.
My party had a couple of the steam buckets with lots of crab legs. They were amazing and cooked to perfection. The margaritas weren't great but loved the seafood. The server was great, checked on us just enough without being too much.
Staff was excellent. The best breading on seafood. Kind of small amount for the money.
Great service wonderful atmosphere, made our Florida vacation complete!
My family loves going there for the steamer platters. The kids and adults had a great time on the games. Overall it was great. We'll be going back.
Great place to watch sports! We come to Destin once a year.
Waitress was great and food portions generous and tasty.
Kealey was our waitress ad what a GREAT JOB!!! She was always there when needed and just a pleasure.
The server was Raigen, and her service was not good. She would go to get something and then disappear for 10 minutes. When we asked if we could substitute one of the other sides for fries, she said, "Sure - like to try sweet potato fries?" We said okay. When the bill came, she charged us $2.49 additional for the change. When we asked, she said, "Oh, that's why I said there is an upcharge." My wife said, "You never said it." She goes, "Well, there is one." She never fixed it. And the bottom line is that even with the coupon, the price was expensive for the quality.
The fact it was steamed and not boiled in butter and oil was a major plus!!!
The atmosphere is great and are a ton of televisions.
the staff was very friendly and our server made sure to get the stl cards game on the tv by us...the owner Charlie is nice and remembers us cuz we visit every year when we are in florida...
Great food, great service!
We have ate there several times and every time the food and wait staff have been great.
food was tooooo salty. calimari was rubbery and chewy.
Our server was great! However my seafood platter batter was much too salty and fell off. Try a new recipe. I usually get your steamed seafood...much better! Will go back to that from now on. You also need a new coleslaw recipe..I'm glad it was a token amount...didn't even eat that! My daughter and hubby had burgers...they ordered them "pink in center" ...they were both well done but they still enjoyed them.
Fantastic placr excellent food an quick service. Family orientared has games in back room for kids and adults
Food was abysmal. The Margarita was full of many complete pieces of ice. The steak and seafood was of good quality, but completely lacked seasoning of any perceivable type. The supposed Tiramisu tasted more like over-sweet banana pudding, with no trace of espresso flavor. I expect this restaurant to be out of business in less than a year unless someone learns to cook and they retrain their servers to reject food from the kitchen and bar unless it is well-prepared food they can be proud to serve.
It was an Excellent Place, they got you seated and you received drinks and food FAST. Service was excellent, pool tables, shuffle board, and other games in the back room for adults and kids. Had a great time and Food was excellent. Highly Recommended ( Buffalo NY )
The food was delicious and everything was made from scratch! Plus the portions were huge!
The atmosphere, the food and the service was wonderful.
The owner visited with us and he was very friendly. Food was excellent.
The food lacked in seasoning a bit. Overall, it was very good.
A great experience with all the dinning.
Nice sports bar atmosphere. Food was real good and waitress was great.
LOVE the new salad bar.
Great service by waiter-manager came by and checked on us as well.
We were seated quickly and the food was good.
Good service and the grouper sandwich was very good. The baked oysters were very good. A little pricey but good.
Fantastic expreience -- very comfortable and lively sports atmosphere with lots of tv screens and happy people. Blackened shrimp and scallops were the best, most tender we ever have eaten. Wish we lived closer so we could enjoy this restaurant more often. Great server and manager...don't miss it!
Delicious food and good service. Sports bar.
The food was great but the service as slow.
Excellent food, good service, nice atmosphere
Delicious food - good service
Excellent service, attentive, very enjoyable atmosphere, couldn't have asked for a better Valentine's Day celebration
Great atmosphere, very diverse and excellent menu. The food is excellent, as is the service. Wait person and manager checked to make certain everyone in our party enjoyed their meal.
Slow service
Service very slow and then our drink orders were incorrect and we paid for the mistake instead of their correcting it. The food was WAY TOO SALTY. Tasted like they poured a whole container of salt on both our entrees. With less salt, it would have been good. We brought leftovers home and gave our friends a taste, and they totally agreed that it was way too salty.
Felt welcomed.
Great food, service and atmosphere!
Great service and food.
Tremendously good Reubens, seating for a large group and friendly service.
Service was good, food good and manager came over because my granddaughter wanted to watch basketball. He informed us game was not on yet but would put it on when started.
Excellent pasta. Both took enough home for next day. Server, Kristina, was extremely friendly and did a super job. Great overall experience.
Great atmosphere and service. Nice menue for both casual dining and a full dinner menue.
Shrimp and grits were unusual and a real treat!
lots of deep fried...would have liked more raw or steamed choices...pretty much bar food...
Crab dinner was excellent. Seafood platter was not that great. Service was great.
Food was superb and service was too
The staff here was just perfect and she made my nieces party an awesome day. Thanks again for being an outgoing person.
Grouper was fresh and cooked to perfection.Scallops were the best ever!
The grilled grouper meal was excellent.
Steak was perfect. Calimari was freezer burned, oyster po-boy had about 5 oysters on a huge bun overloaded with lettuce. I felt like I was eating a lettuce po-boy! The steak was the only saving grace.
The Food The Food The Food was FANTASTIC!!
so glad we tried it - all the food was great, the fish tacos, the cajun peeled shrimp app and the fried catfish.
wings ok at best not prepare correctly, the calamari where the largest I have ever experienced, you had to cut them with a knife.Could not enter bill...$130.00
Just can't beat the service and the food!!! Always excellant. Really recommend the dingy for two...great crab legs and shrimp...large portions dnv lots of hot melted butter!!!
it was delious , honestly
it was delious , honestly
My husband and daughter were skeptical about the quality of food when I got the certificate for a place to eat while on vacation. Boy, were they surprised! The food was awesome and we had more that we could eat. We all would certainly recommend this place to anyone.
Excellent server, great atmosphere, food was great.
Service
Spent over 3 hours there because of wait for table and slow service. Talked to manager said they were bust and offered 15% off next time there, will never be back. Food was average
The food and service were both excellent
The service was very slow. It was at least 10 minutes before we were able to order drinks,and it went on in that manner for each thing our waitress went to do. At the end, while I waited 10 or more minutes for change when I paid the bill, my husband was so frustrated, he went to wait in the car.
We actually ended up eating at o'quigleys twice during our week long stay in destin. The food was terrific!
The food and the atmosphere were great!
Food and service was good, Baked potato was not done but all other food was prepared well, steak and shrimp.
Our food was great, we sat at the bar, the bartender was by herself, serving the whole bar. the service wasn't real quick, but is was good.
great food and great service!! I would recommend O'Quigley's to anyone dining in the area!
Great Atmosphere, Great Service, Great Food
Food was excellent; our server was busy with a large group, however the owner came by and checked on us twice
Good food, good portions.......
Food was really great but the quantity could have been better for the high price.
Great service and the food was excellent.
Food was good.
Great fresh food!!! Wonderful service!
Cajun shrimp & gumbo were great!
Excellent service and food. We have told our friends about your restaurant because we just loved it!!!
Food was not that good, especially for the price
neat atmosphere and delicious food!
Service was extremely slow...prices were much higher than what was on the website. For a first time diner this establishment left alot to be desired.
2nd time here. We love it. We go to the beach in Fort Walton Beach, then go out of our way to eat there, in Destin.
Great atmosphere, great owner and staff, great service, good food. I have lived in Destin for the last 4+ years and I would say O'Quigley's is the Best overall value in Destin for families, couples, and single people.
appetizer was served with my entre...never even got an apology....i should have refused one of them
Good food and atmosphere.
Food was average at best
Enjoyed our meal at O'Quigley's. Service was excellent, food was very good, if not overwhelming in quantity. If anyone goes home from O'Quigley's hungry it's their own fault!
The steamer for 2 was plenty of well prepared food.
Our waitress was very helpful in our menu selections of food and wine.
Friendly service and good good.
I'll go back there for sure, Good Eats.
We had a large party of eight and the waitress was very patient and pleasant. The restaurant was very packed due to a fight and NBA finals on television but with all the entertainment it felt like we didn't have a wait. The portions were huge and yet it didn't compromise taste. Everyone had a great time and said they would dine here again on the next visit to Destin.
Staff was attentive, friendly and knowledgeable. Oysters Destin were yummy. Raw oysters were fresh, briny and delicious. Shrimp and scallop pasta was well prepared, though the sauce was a bit too lemony. The blackened grouper was EXCELLENT! The ahi salad was good. Nice fresh ingredients, but would have liked a ginger flavor with (maybe dressing?). The kids macaroni and cheese was just Kraft, but my kiddo ate it up. Overall, a 4.5 out of 5.
The atmosphere was great, very entertaining. The place is huge, plenty of room for everyone. The wait staff was great and the food too. The only reason I didn't give it a 5 was because my ribs were a bit dry. Other than that, all else was spot on!
Had a great dinner. Food was great and so was the service.
food was good, service was terrible
Great quality and ample quantity of food. Expected sport bar type of food but the food exceeded our expectations.
Stopped in for some peel and eat shrimp and a few beers. Shrimp were great, very nice atmosphere.
The ribeye and blackened grouper were great.
Portions were large. Food was tasty and price was good!
Awesome. Even the owner was out visiting/bussing tables while it was really busy!
My friend and I enjoyed the friendly service, the charming decor, and the tasty sandwiches, scones, and sweets.
The food was delicious!
absolutely the freshest seafood and perfectly prepared.
Wait staff was superb and food was excellent!
Great menu with loads of choices
The food was excellent and the waitress very nice.
My husband ordered the big hamburger and he said it was wonderful. I ordered the blackened chicken and loved it. Mine came with dirty rice and I am not a rice lover but the rice was like red beans and rice and it was great.
Service staff were friendly and efficient.
Bar service is exceptional, friendly, fast, and professional.
Seemed to be understaffed, so I didn't hold that against waitress. Food was amazing!!!
Excellent food so fresh
Service at the bar was great, with Jessica taking care to make recommendations, insure the order was correct and delivered hot. The peel-and-eat shrimp are a bargain, big pleantiful and tasty. The hamburger buns make the burgers and whatever else served on them even better because they are fresh with a hint of sweetness. Overall great food and service.
The food was great and the service as well.
Service was friendly but extremely slow and there wasn't even 20 customers in the restaurant.
Did not check back and refill my empty glass of water.
Good food, good service and enjoyed the visit from manager to make sure everything was ok. Just enough attention. Would go back again.
Srvice was just a little slow, but people and food was outstanding.
Delicious food, great service, fun sports bar!
Excellent sports bar venue. Attentive manager checked on our satisfaction numerous times during visit. Menu was varied. Prices reasonable.
Food and service was amazing!! Great lunch specials and fresh food!
Great food and service
great service and food and an exciting menu
Oysters were yummy! Ahi tuna salad sandwich great. Steak/potatoe soup was just like an irish stew. Softshell crab poorboy was great. We'll be back.
Service excellent. Owner visiting customers checking on food and service.
We were very impressed with the food and the atmosphere.
Excellent neighborhood pub
Great menu choices. Excellent lunch specials. the Cowboy burger was one of the best anywhere.
Very good food for a pub/bar. Service from Jamey was excellent! Big screen TV's playing any game or sporting event you wanted. We even had a TV in our booth.
