Restaurant Scams in Destin

Overpriced Seafood on Harbor Blvd

Several restaurants along Destins Harbor Boulevard and HarborWalk Village charge tourist-inflated prices for grouper, shrimp, and crab dishes, sometimes listing market-price items without any stated price range. The waterfront setting and casual resort ambiance mask significant price gaps compared to restaurants two blocks north of the harbor. Mandatory gratuities of 18–20% are sometimes added to large tables without menu disclosure.
