Don's food is usually delicious! There is only one thing, it seems to have a spicy taste,fried or grilled. I would love to suggest a choice of a little milder version on the menus. A choice of regular or slightly mild. Not completely mild just slightly. For people with stomach issues who love seafood! Also for the little ones.The atmosphere is great for children or adults. They have a sports bar to the left of the tables perfect for singles who want good food drinks and a great atmosphere.They even have outside seating.The prices are reasonable and the etouffee is delicious! Highly recommend. The waitress staff is very attentive to your needs. In all the many times we have eaten here we only had one experience where the waitress was not good at all. You don't stop and drop food and rush off without asking.... is there anything else I can get for you? No cocktail or tartar sauce was given, we had to get up and find someone to get it also extra napkins. Sad one bad apple. Do I recommend Don's DEFINITELY!!!One thing I forgot to mention, I believe it's the dinner room supervisor, it's the one in the tight short skirt. Please wear a size bigger, you can see your underwear lines and your tummy is poking out. A slight bend reveals everything . It looks tacky for a family restaurant. Just a size bigger would look fabulous on her. I love short skirts but you can tell it's way too small. She does a fantastic job of making sure everything runs smoothly in the dinning room and works really hard her work ethics is above and beyond!Thank you for the wonderful food and the great people who work here.Parking: Plenty of parking spaces so don't worry about that.Kid-friendliness: Definitely even a kids menu and high chairsWheelchair accessibility: Handicap parking outside and tables to accommodate w/c.
Jules was awesome! Friendly, helped us with the menu, prompt and took great care of us completely .

Don's Seafood Restaurant provided an excellent dining experience, and Server Cierra's exceptional service made it even better. From her warm greeting to her attentive care throughout the meal, Cierra's professionalism and charm truly impressed. Her menu knowledge and personalized recommendations added a special touch to our evening. We left feeling satisfied and valued, thanks to Cierra's outstanding hospitality.

Driving from Houston back to Destin and found this place on the map and are super glad we stopped for lunch. It is just a minute or so off of the interstate and super easy to get in and out. We were lucky as crawfish are in season and they were awesome! Potatos and corn were perfect as well. Our waitress, Bailey took great care of us as we sat outside on the covered patio. We look forward to the next time we can stop in for a visit!
