Fun little beach restaurant. There's usually a wait. But you can hang out on the beach and take sunset family pictures while you wait. The food is great and so was the atmosphere. You can also hit up their bar while you lounge on the beach!

can't beat the view When we vacationed in Destin every afternoon we would walk down the beach to the Backporch. We had the biggest freshest oysters we have ever seen while watching the waves roll in.

Must have shirts! If you go to Back Porch, you must check out the gift shop. The top selling item I am sure are the many unique designs of Back Porch T-shirts. They have lots of other items in the shop too - seashell jewelry and beach frames knick knacks that are just too cute. I do a lot of shopping for relatives who wish they could live at the beach like I do!

Excellent Seafood Great view of the Gulf of Mexico along with a great meal. What more can you ask for? Definitely a local favorite that does not hurt your pocketbook. Cooking is done in variety of way such as steam, baked, or fried. Food is delicious and service is good.

Best food in town The Back Porch Cafe is one of a kind. Everything is handmade and original. Great value for the portions of a hungry eater. Outdoor seating refreshing from the norm in Old Town. For the 15 years I've been stopping in for everything from a relaxing glass of wine and crab cakes, to a Thanksgiving pie, I've never been disappointed with a breakfast or lunch. My favorite thank you to a friend is giving a gift certificate to this great eatery. Also can't remember how many parties/meetings I've held in the quaint, ... read more
