The hostesses were not friendly, one of them was talking on their cell phone while we were waiting to be seated...our server Jenny was great and the food was pretty good

We stopped here with the family and had a great view of the gulf while we ate. The food was quite tasty, and the service was good. Portions were large, and the kids begged us to come back the next afternoon just for desserts, which we did! Try the Reggae Rolls!

The gulf side location of Pompano Joe's along old Hwy. 98 a bit east Destin is just the beginning of a tremendous dining experience along Florida's most beautiful white sand beach coast.

I think we avoided it becuase it looked like a generic place on the beach and doubted the food would be good quality. Boy were we wrong. Last year and then again last week we had a great time with an... More
