Glad this Place is Finally getting shut down. TERRIBLE DISRESPECTFUL OWNER APRIL. Place was Infested with Rats, she did not care. She did not deserve to be a leader of a restaurant. It was a complete Joke while they were here. They Just came to make quick money off of Sandestin Locals and visitors with a 10% "entertainment fee" and upscale pricing on terrible quality food. The underpaid employees were forced to work in toxic work environment with Owners that had never worked in a restaurant before? Baytowne should show more care and attention to the restaurants inside. This place should have never been allowed to open.

Sandestin Resort in east Destin.... Bayside, it's a vacation destination as well as locals living there. Lots to do and enjoy and Drunken Goat is one of them. Entertainment non-stop and especially when bands like Catalyst Rocks plays there. Great food and atmosphere.... Bring your friends!

Kyle, the bartender told my husband they had the best brisket... So we decided to go back and give it a try before heading home. Let me say he was absolutely telling the truth!! There were 6 of us and we all loved it. Beat brisket we've ever had. Staff was very attentive and friendly and the food was hands down the best. Thanks for your recommendation. Also shout-out to Six our waitress for being awesome!

Our bartender was great and I wish I could tell you what was in the special drink he made us but it was not on the menu. It was delicious! Just show the picture and hopefully that will be enough. Great music and view of the water and boats at the marina. Really enjoyed the atmosphere :-)

I absolutely love this place!! April and Dan are awesome. The rest of the staff is just like family. We were there for the 4th on the balcony, so we could watch fireworks. We had a great dinner. We are always treated respectfully and with great Attitude. This is our go to place!! We recommend to all our friends

Horrible service, disappointing food. Witress seemed to not care, answers yep with an attitude to each question ask we asked then disappeared.Ordered the Ribs for 36 bucks, got 2 ribsOver cooked in aluminum foil, extra salty.I didn't complain bc the waitress was never around for us to give her feed back. Pretty much dropped off the food. Disappeared. Then came back requesting to dropped off the check, I had to asked her for BBQ sauce at this point..she said oh that's the kitchens fault.Well, I paid for the meal with out making a fuss anyway, didn't want to make a big deal since I understand it's the holidays.While leaving, front desk asked how was everything. So I was candid, figure I'll let the front desk know. After letting them know my feedback, (she was either a manager or older hostess )told me "the food that you have In the Togo box was bad?" She was being a smart a$$ of courseI told her the reason there is a Togo box is because I never had a knife to cut my food, nor did she bring us any BBQ sauce. My kids were done with their burger so they couldn't wait any longer.Then she questioned did you tell someone else? Well I damn near searched the whole front end looking for a knife and some BBQ on my own.If you saw a customer walking around looking for something, wouldn't a well train staff ask what's needed?Save your money.Best of luck.

Meat quality- dry rub and smoke ring on brisket was very good, however, meat was a little dry. Sides tasted good, but also dry. Felt like under a heat lamp for a bit. Cheese fries were crispy and tasty.Ridiculous- $4 Up charge for kids meal side substitution (sub fries for beans).Ridiculous extra charge for extra BBQ sauce. 2 meat meal comes w one 1 oz sauce. We asked for some extra sauce and was charged $2 extra.We had to go through 5 menu options before we found what they actually had in stock (out of drumsticks, smoked Turkey, etc). Some BBQ places sell out early of their good meats, but It was only 5pm and I don’t have the feeling this was the case for this institution.Not worth it to go again.

This is not our first time here but this time is TOTALLY different from our previous time. I don't know if the management changed or what but everything is horrible to say the least. And I was going to leave 2 stars because the Appetizers were decent, which is your typical mozzarella sticks and ravioli bites. But at the end as we walked out, my husband commented to the hostess or lady (blonde hair) that the food was not good and she sarcasticly answered "the food you taking home with you?".So yes we had to take our food home because our server disappeared most of the time. We waited extra long for the food to come b/c the waitress said the kitchen was short staffed. Which is understandable. But for her to forget to check on us is not. We didn't get any BBQ or hot sauce. We paid over $130 for bland 2 meat plate and a $36 (said $32 on the menu) for TWO pieces of large chewy salty ribs. And my kids burger was bland and the "fruit cup" was your store bought Dole's cheap fruit cup. We love to eat everywhere and don't mind paying if it's worth it. This place was the WORST in service and food.We will NEVER come back here and will tell all of our friends and family as well.

This place wasn't bad. Good view, food was decent, service was good. I'm not really sure why they have such bad reviews.

If there was something less than 1 I'd give it to them. Out of some foods, turkey plate tasted 3 days old, French fries were cooked Yesterday. Each glass of tea is a charge. Too many places to eat to go here.
Wow...for this place to be named the Drunken Goat, it definitely is NOT the Greatest Of All Time. We arrived at 7:05...hostess said they were short staffed so it would be a few minutes until we could be seated or we could sit at the bar. So we headed to the bar. Bartenders were EXCELLENT - quick service, funny, and made great drinks according to my friend. We placed our order at 7:15. I ordered mozz sticks appetizer & a grilled chicken salad. She ordered smoked turkey plate with garlic mashed potatoes & green beans. At 8:15 we still had not received our food. I looked around and literally nobody in the downstairs dining room had their food. We cashed out for the beverages and left. When we asked to cancel our order, the bartender apologized and said the kitchen was backed up....dude idk what the heck the kitchen was doing...NOBODY HAD FOOD..... We walked over to Slick Lips and was seated immediately. Told them what happened and apparently it is an ongoing issue!

Amazing service, food was on point! Our server Pickle was amazing! If your looking for home cooking, this is the place to be!

The food was really good!! And for being in Baytowne everything was super affordable. Staff...FABULOUS!!!! The hostess was super friendly, bartenders...Johnny on the spot...and our server so sweet (I wish I could remember his name...maybe Micah ?♀️). Definitely recommend this place!

There were 5 of us that showed up and were promptly greeted and seated. There were no other tables inside seated at this time. We ordered drinks and then ordered food. The other tables began to fill and not long after there was food showing up on other tables. We were the last table served and it took an hour and 25 minutes after ordering, to receive our food. The server was pleasant and apologetic, but the manager was relatively aloof. This is not a place that I would recommend and certainly not a place I will return to in the future. By the way, the food was just OK.

Horrible experience. Waited over an hour and a half for our food. When it did arrive, order was wrong, buns for burgers cold, like out of fridge cold, and burgers raw in middle, and I could go on. Worst part was attitude from who I assume was older lady at front seating folks, as well as I’m assuming one of the kitchen managers that finally ran out our food. Meal for 2 adults, 2 kids, no alcohol $125. When we asked if they were comping anything, more attitude and 10% off. What a joke. Plenty of other places to eat in Baytowne Wharf. DO NOT GO HERE. Not even an apology. - update - owner responded back to review last night - must have had multiple folks with bad experiences last night, obviously has us mixed up with someone else. We didn’t wait on a table, we were seated immediately - but let’s go there. Table was so wobbly we had to move, thought I’d leave that out last night but since you are still not taking responsibility, happy to mention. Unbelievable. Not just me. Obviously your other diners had similar bad experiences. Just scroll through the other reviews. Have to work pretty hard to get a score in the 3 star arena.
