I made reservations for a 45th birthday with 13 adults. I was disappointed in all of it. They don’t allow couples to pay separately. One ticket doesn’t work for everyone. Our waitress was less than friendly. Overpriced for casual outdoor dining. Nothing special about the food. It was just OK.

Honestly the food was fantastic. Our server was sweet but did not pay attention to the needs of one of our party. We had one of us who has a lactose allergy, and upon asking the server for dairy free options he denied knowledge of such. She ordered the chicken panee dish and asked that sauces/butter/cheese be held. He brought her meal with all but the cheese still present. After eating she was extremely sick and that made the experience very disappointing.

The quality of food was very very poor — frozen shrimp, cold soup and incomplete meals — missing items from description. Only saving grace — waitress was nice and the manager removed the cold soup from the bill and gave us a discount.

I really wanted to like this place. It was close to the hotel which made it convenient but when everything else is packed and there’s hardly anyone inside we should have known better. The lobster was so overcooked and salty it was completely inedible. The table next to us must have felt the same way because they left their entrees completely untouched.

We sat on the upstairs balcony. The view was great and we listened to music provided by another bar. The server was fine. The food tasted like banquets food. The surf and turf was poorly cooked and trenched in sauce. The pasta was bad. It was Luke warm. The best meal was the kids chicken fingers. Worst meal we had at Baytown.

Outstanding food and service. Highly recommend the pimento stack (appetizer) and Poppy’s Shrimp pasta. Best meal I have ever had in the Destin area… and we have been coming here for decades! Their sweet tea is atrocious (from a fountain). Switxhed to a soda and all was great. :-)

Very expensive entree had poor quality meat and the taste was bad as well. Tournedos entree seas $45 and the “meat” was chewy and wouldn’t break down enough to swallow - not edible. Told the wait staff and they didn’t remedy the situation or offer to remove entree from bill. Also, the outdoor entertainment - a guitar player/singer was very loud. Server and hostess both very nice.

We had a party of 18. Mark, Dawn, and Elizabeth were very gracious and excellent hosts and server. The food was delicious! I love having a white table cloth experience for special occasions. Mark was very prompt returning phone calls to make our birthday celebration special! I highly recommend for a date night or special event! Wonderful food with an excellent view! Thank you for an excellent night!!

I had the ribeye ad wedge salad. It was very tasty but a little on the pricey side as the salad was extra. I chose the Crazy Lobster because I had eaten there before and they had a Low Country Boil bucket. They no longer offer that on their menu so I had to get the ribeye.

Our server was a little overwhelmed, as the restaurant was quite busy but she did a fine job overall. The food was excellent. We were a party of 8 and we ordered most of the menu I think! Scallop appetizers, calamari, lobster bisque, both kinds of lobster rolls, lobster melt, pork porterhouse, and the snapper were all worth every penny and superbly prepared!

Terrible experience in that the server could not care less about being there or our experience there. We didn't even get the drinks or food given his ineptitude to remember what we ordered. He literally came back to ask us two separate times in the drinks and took the drink menu to "show the bartender". We left after 20 more minutes of waiting for the drinks after determining that we were not going to deal with such poor service the entire meal and pay the upscale prices/gratuity. The restaurant wasn't even at half capacity.

We sat 30 minutes at the table with no service. The server never even took our drink order. After deciding to leave, the restaurant asked us to stay, and still ignored us for another 25 mins. All this after a 7:15 reservation booked through OpenTable. Worst experience I have ever received from a restaurant.

We were so excited to dine at the Crazy Lobster, since it’s the perfect location (in the village) for family fun, but we were disappointed to say the least. Items were left out from our appetizer order as well as entire plates from the main course. The food was okay, but not great. Due to the service, we wouldn’t visit again…
