Had fresh caught red snapper caught by my friend, cooked at The Locals. Oh my gosh!! Best food ever. Service was incredible. We had an amazing lunch. It’s a great location. Recommend 100%

Excellent spot at the marina…nice views and even nicer staff! Fried green tomato appetizer was loaded with crabmeat! Grilled fish needed a bit more flavor but was cooked well, not overdone. The drinks were the best part! Try the Bayou Tea!

Yummy food, great service, and lovely views. I ordered a spinach salad with cobia, as well as a slice of Key lime pie. Everything was delicious…the pie is made in-house and might be one of the best out there!

Originally planned on going to McAlisters, but their cook didn’t show up! A happy accident!! Truly enjoyed our dining experience at Locals of Niceville. Mom had ahi tuna bites. She was surprised how much food there was. Delicious. Sauce was especially yummy. Hubby and I both had Ribeye Philly’s. Fantastic!!

The sandwich was just bland, chicken, sauce, bread all didn’t really taste like anything. Fries lacked salt.

Was a nice place that I didn’t even know existed. Staff was friendly of course. The smoked wings were good, and I don’t even care for smoked foods. It was a homemade Buffalo sauce but only had a slight spice to it. Their spicy pasta left more to be desired, I wouldn’t say it was bad, but I just didn’t care for it. One of my coworkers said it needed salt, but IMO that would have made it worse. I may go back to try one of their burgers, they looked really good.

Food was ok . Spicy shrimp tacos weren’t spicy, the burnt ends weren’t burnt at all just chunks of fat. The location is nice, the drinks are good. I would go back and try something different.

My friends and I enjoyed lunch here. Our server was very, very good. Attentive just enough, especially since we sat outside. She even offered drinks to go, which we appreciated. I had the grilled fish tacos. They were delicious with the pineapple Pico de Gallo. The fries were perfectly cooked. They are the seasoned type. My friend had the grilled cobia sandwich. The fish was nice and big and a whole piece. She said it was very good.
