This is one of my favorite restaurants anywhere...definitely #1 in Destin! Yes, it's expensive, but so are all the other restaurants in Destin. The food has consistently been good and fresh for over 20 years. But the service is what I especially love - it is more than excellent. Our waiter is one who has been there for many many... more

After reading all of the great reviews on Trip Advisor, we decided to try Louisiana Lagniappe on our recent trip to Ft. Walton Beach. It was fantastic! If you have never been, you really need to try this amazing restaurant. It overlooks the water, and we dined at sunset, which was beautiful. The seafood there is fresh, perfectly prepared, and... more

This place is great every year! We just went on 5/20/09 and the food, service and atmosphere was terrific. My friend got the red snapper and I got the grouper. Both were great! We sat outside by the bay side and enjoyed a beautiful sunset. We went early(around 5) to avoid the crowd and had great service. The only recommendation... more

Lagniappe is one of the best and most consistent restaurants in Destin. I highly recommend the bayou grouper and snapper polenta. The food is always great, service is impeccable. We come to Destin once a year and always eat at Lagniappe multiple times. more

My husband and I have been coming here since we were dating and it is awesome. There is a beautiful view of the sun setting over the bay and I would plan to come about thirty minutes before sunset and sit outside on the deck. We went a few days ago and did such and they were not as busy... more

Our visit to this hard to find restaurant was enjoyable due to the view of the marina but the food was very overpriced. Hushpuppies were terrible - the worst I have ever had but the salad was good and the Stuffed Shrimp good. The bill was around $40 per person including one drink. I must say this restaurant had great... more

Last night my wife and I ate at the Louisiana Lagniappe for the first time and we thought it was fabulous. The service was top notch and it was definitely one of the best dinners we've had in Destin, and we live here. I had the Swordfish with Crab with shrimp on the side and highly recommend it. Most entrees... more

My Dad and I took a look at some of the reviews on here and decided to take a chance. The reviews were wrong. I had one of the many grouper entrees and it was falsely advertised as "pan seared". It was not. It was lightly breaded and lightly fried in a chicken fried steak batter. Even with the batter... more

I don't get to Destin very often, but when I do, I always go to Louisiana Lagniappe. Start with the corn and crab bisque and order the tournadoes of beef. You can't beat it. I have eaten at many a restaurant in New Orleans, and this place is just as good. more

My wife and I first went here on our honeymoon in the mid-80's. We loved it then and have returned many times. We love the type of cuisine served as well as the location on the bay. When the weather's right, we enjoy eating outside, on the deck. The service is carried out by a well oiled machine...each server has... more
