L J Schooners Dockside Restaurant

Was a beautiful. Everything was perfect for our first time for brunch. Not to busy..

We love schooners! Beautiful views and good food. I love the Cuban and the key lime pie is amazing. The first time I visited was in 2016 and I will probably never miss a chance to go to schooners if I’m in the area.

What a lovely little hole in the wall! Great atmosphere, great food, great service! Definitely a locals go to spot. And would highly recommend to tourists and visitors alike. We got the fried grouper sandwhich and the shrimp tacos. Both dishes were delicious! Sat outside under the shade and by the water with a margarita……made for a perfect evening. Highly recommend this place to everyone

Friendly staff that feels like family if you keep coming back. Food is yummy and drinks are cold. Kid- and dog-friendly outdoor space. Small beach where kids swim and paddle boarders launch. Killer sunsets, too.

Loved it! Great atmosphere, great food, and an amazing wait staff. I was in town for a few days and wanted to eat my weight in fresh seafood, this was the place. Did not disappoint in the least. Fresh gulf oysters and fresh fish. Amazing!!

Schooners Dockside Restaurant & Bar in Niceville, FL has the most beautiful sunsets and water views, plus a very friendly, welcoming vibe. This is definitely a locals hot spot!

Enjoyed dinner with fried shrimp and crab cakes. Amazing views as you sit above the marina. Service was friendly and professional.

First time here...always wanted to try it. Had the seared sesame crusted tuna, fried pickles and macadamia nut cheesecake. ALL DELICIOUS!!

Carly and Ryan were fantastic and very welcoming. Carly had purple hair and wanted me to mention that in the review. Such a good place to have food and drinks with live music.

Nice and relaxing atmosphere great service and food was very fresh and super tasty plus the bay view was a bonus

The atmosphere is pleasant with live music playing in the background. Food was great. The California Pulled Pork, fries and slaw were delicious, along with a dozen raw oysters with lemon and cocktail to start us off. Service is lacking severely but everyone is friendly which is what you'd expect from a chill, laid back crowd...from the patrons to the employees. I'll be back for sure!

I was greeted by a sweet young lady when I came in. She sat us right away. My server was great and food came out fast. I order the parm grouper it was very good. The view was beautiful. Will definitely be back!

Burger was very good and nice view of the marina. We ate in the restaurant, but the outdoor area (oyster bar) at the right time looks like a party!! Ha...the old sailor coming out!

Great local place to grab a beverage and hang out with friends and family to watch the sunset!

Brooke was wonderful!! It was our first time there, food was good the atmosphere was very cozy.

This place is great if you are boating and want lunch or dinner. Try out the live music. They have a monthly calendar of events and have a bunch of things for kids to do throughout the summer.

Good was great. Nice variety on the menu. Great views of the docks and water.

Great location away from Destin. Good food and service. Only negative is that they were out of their ice cream on Sunday evening!!!!

We went on a Wednesday night and had no trouble getting a table for 6. The staff was friendly and the service was excellent. We ordered a variety of items from the menu and everyone was pleased with the quality of the food. We will definitely be back.

Love this place! They do tons of events to keep things lively. Sunday brunch is great!
