I've been to both Panama City Beach & Destins locations and enjoyed both. I've had to wait for a table at one, and seated instantly at the other. The time of year does make a difference, but it's well worth the wait. From the drinks to the main entree, the service was excellent. They were very polite and accommodating.

We have company in town who were craving seafood so we took them to Bayou Bills this evening. It had been a while since my wife and I had been.When entering we were greeted by a young lady, Haley who was very friendly, courteous and professional. Rare to find at many places. After some conversation, She sat us and had our waiter Mike come over.Mike was top notch. A true professional. I have been in the service industry for over 40 years and this guy has been also and it shows. He knows the business, the menu and his stuff. He made some incredible recommendations. What was most impressive, was he took all four of our orders without writing down a thing. When I complemented him on that and said that was old-school, he said he was currently waiting on seven tables and had it all in his head.The food came out perfect. Everything was exactly how we ordered and very delicious. Our company was very happy with the pick of restaurant and Mike’s suggestions.From the service to the oysters, crab and fish, this did not disappoint. We will make it a point to go back way more often to this long established local business. We will ask for Mike again as our Waiter and hope Haley is there as well. 5 stars

We are in Destin on vacation and LOVED this dinner spot. We went on a Tuesday so it wasn’t very busy, however our server Tracy was very personable and educated on the menu. My husband got The Special of the House (seafood boil) and I got Bill’s Alfredo, saying “yum” literally after each bite. Definitely recommend!!

No line. No wait. I'm not a huge seafood fan like my family so my options were limited to salads and chicken. The fried shrimp were amazing and my wife loved her seafood pasta.

Pricey but delicious ?. Waitress was wonderful. They advertised dinner for 2 $26.00 but not true! Have to change that false advertisement.

This was a good place to eat crab legs. The fish was just ok. There are better restaurants if you want good fish. It is a little expensive, but there are not many options for crab in this area.

Good place for good food. The grouper I had came quick and hot. The portions were big. The prices were reasonable. The only negative is would share is the amount of toppings on the Grouper took away from the taste of the fish. Also, the waitress didn't know if the fish was locally caught. There were 4 of us that all had something different and overall we enjoyed the food and atmosphere of the restaurant.
