Hidden Gem!!! This small seafood market also cranks out delicious Seafood. My sister Vicki works there and there wasnt a question when we came to visit her where we were going to eat because they have the best seafood in Crestview. My best friend ordered the crab cakes and shrimp my sister and daughters ordered the fried shrimp dinners and I got the grilled fish tacos topped with Wasabi Mayo. The fries are really good fresh cut every day but I just have to say if you go you have to try the gouda grits theyre one of the best things Ive ever put in my mouth and Im big time foodie!! Mmmm It was 5:30 when we went we were sat quickly and the service was wonderful. If youre in the area give them a try you will have some GREAT seafood. You can also ask for my sister Vicki to serve you thatll make your dining experience even better because shes such a sweetheart!!!

Our server who greeted and sat us was very friendly and knowledgeable of the specials and fresh fish choices. My fiance had the bronzed amberjack special and I had the fried fish sandwich. Everything was as good as we hoped. We arrived 30 minutes before closing and they were very welcoming, our food arrived quickly after our appetizer of fried crawfish tails. Btw, those you could tell were house battered lightly and not greesy. Very clean tasting food. Very casual relaxed atmosphere which we really appreciated since we were driving from Dallas to Tampa. All your domestic beer available with one or two seasonal beers. And if you like a glass of wine with dinner you cant go wrong. Typical house wines of 6 flavors and priced right! 3.69 for a pour thats far more generous than youd pay anywhere else. Im glad we stopped.

The best seafood ever!!!! We just moved to Crestview and it has been so hard trying to find amazing food with such a limited selection.. I was about to go to Waynes which I heard is amazing but the selection there was limited. So I remembered someone said that Emerald Isle is the best place in town. I ordered my food just before closing. I picked up our food got back home it was still piping hot and crispy. I have to say this was the best fish and shrimp Ive ever had!!! The white fish was breaded to perfection the shrimp was crispy and seasoned so well. I highly recommend this place!!!!!

I am from southern Louisiana and this place is 100% perfection. The food made me feel like i was back home. If you are here simply sit down and order the smoked tuna dip. You will thank me later. The shrimp is as fresh as i have ever had back home, it melted in your mouth. The grease was very clean giving everything a beautiful golden brown crust and super clean tast. I left feeling full but not greasy and nasty. The staff was fast to welcome us and immediately served us. I even got a chance to talk to the owner, also a nice guy. If you are in town do yourself a favor and stop here.

Best fried grouper sandwich Ive ever had!! Being born and raised in Florida, Ive eaten my share of "fresh"seafood...... or so I thought! Not until you let your taste buds delight in the experience of Emerald Isles version of fresh seafood will you realize what fresh seafood should taste like. We enjoyed their fried grouper sandwich and fried gulf shrimp, both with the best homemade tarter sauce you could imagine (I know, "best tarter sauce ever"??!! sounds crazy but just wait and see if you dont agree! lol) Thanks for a great meal and service as good as the meal!

Kalahari appetizer was amazing. We ordered fried flounder and crab cakes from the lunch menu. Both were very good. The sides are great too. The twice baked potato is something I highly recommend. The home cooked fries are fresh and delicious. Key lime pie was a little thick but still refreshingly sweet. Staff are very nice and helpful. Clean dining area, but be warned the fish market is in the restaurant. However there is no fishy smell or odor. Will eat here again and would recommend

My family and I were returning to North Florida and South Florida from a cross country road trip and happened across the Emerald Isle. What a meal!! Everything was prepared to perfection and the service was quick, with attention to detail and many smiles. We ate across the menu thus having a chance to taste a little of many offerings. From appetizers to entrees...superb! One regret...no room for dessert!!!Hope to come back one day.0

Drove from California to Florida stopped and ate at a lot of places . This place was leaps and bounds fresher and better tasting than the food we got in gulfport. I dont even like seafood so having smoked tuna dip shrimp po boy and grits is pretty much unheard of from me. My world has been rocked and I dont care if it ever goes back to normal. Love this place and will be back next time Im heading this way.

The atmosphere was pleasant and the waitresses were very sweet and helpful, but all the food had a fishy flavor. My husband took me for a special gumbo treat (gumbo was delicious!) But he doesnt care for seafood and ordered hamburger and fries. The fries tasted like fish sticks and the hamburger was barely cooked. It was our first visit and we are most likely not going to go again.

I asked for some scallops that werent on the menu but the chef sauteed me a few huge scallops that melted like butter in my mouth. Everything here is homemade and by far the best seafood lunch/dinner around. 10 times better than anywhere out in destin. We will be back...especially for some smoked tuna dip!!!

Stopped by to check out their seafood and it was delicious. Just wished they would have an all you can eat boiled or steamed shrimp for 13 or 15 bucks, I would bring more folks on those days. We love some "skrimp" haha. Thanks for serving some delicious shrimp when I stopped by the other day, was delicious!

The food was fresh and delicious. The hush puppies were perfection. Everyone was very friendly and welcoming. It is not far off I-10. The only negative? They are too far from our home to make ourselves "regulars". :) We will never pass this area without stopping here. Prices were decent, too.

We ate here tonight and everyone in our group was impressed with the food. The smoked tuna dip is amazing!!! We bought some to go. I had the grilled amberjack and it was delicious. The restaurant is clean, there is no fishy smell, and the waitstaff was great. We will definitely be back!

Great fried butterfly shrimp, hushpuppies and mahi mahi. I also liked the crab pasta salad. Not a lot of mayonnaise which I like. Food was all very fresh. We will definitely be going again and trying some more things. I wish we would have discovered this place months ago.

The people here go out of there way to make you feel welcome. I have bought a lot of seafood here and I have not been disappointed. Clean, fresh and friendly. I used to live in Alaska and I miss the salmon. The salmon here takes me back to that place. Check them out today!
