We're vacationing here from Mobile, Alabama. Our boys loved the atmosphere and being able to feed the alligators. The staff was very friendly and our waitress was the best. We told her that we were from the Gulf coast and really knew what good seafood was so of course we had our doubts about it. All I can say is the food was absolutely amazing and our waitress knew everything about the menu and our meals. I would recommend that anyone visiting in Destin/Ft. Walton eat here. There is a little bit of a wait to get seated durin... read more

My family and I had a wonderful experience at Fudpuckers! We started the day with the VIP gator experience with Daniel. He was great and it was very educational and fun! He made sure we were safe the entire time. My son had a blast! I would highly recommend this experience. You really are treated as a VIP. We were able to feed tons of alligators, hold one and get our picture taken holding an alligator. We then went in for lunch and the service and food were awesome. You get such big portions that there is no way that you lea... read more

Love to feed the alligators, my daughter loves to write & draw on things with a sharpie but we are not crazy about the food. Otherwise a great experience for a family.

The appetizers were fantastic, the waitress made sure our drinks were full at all times. We had over 14 people so I can imagine it was difficult to keep us all organized but they did a very well job. I don’t eat coleslaw either but their coleslaw is so good! The gator is AMAZING & so are the cheese curds! Our food came out fairly quickly for such a big group and I will return when I travel to Destin again!

I called several restaurants in destin fl and none of them except fudpuckers was willing to help us out with a reservation after our wedding. They kept in contact with me several days before and wished us a great wedding day. We arrived and the wait was 2 hours. Not for us. We waited 5 mins and then we sat at the table on stage. The staff was amazing and made our night special. Thank you to the gm Rich Neal for making us feel at home. The food was amazing and an holding an alligator was great too.

Get there early or you will probably have to wait. At 11 when they opened it was already busy. Drove by at 6:30 the line was out the door. Tons of food I could not finish. Fish tacos, burgers and Gator all good. Our waiter was really wonderful. Teenagers fed the gators and held one for a pictures. They had a good time and that is what we were there for. Destin has road work going on slow down and enjoy your vacation �Good gift shop every one friendly and help full. We spent 3 hours there because it was fun �
