Fudpucker's Beachside Bar & Grill, Fort Walton Beach

Fudpucker’s Beachside Bar & Grill might be one of the few restaurants where you hope you'll have to wait for a table. That’s because there’s so much to see and do, from live music on outdoor stages to live alligators at the Okaloose Island location's Gator Island. Wandering away from the dining area, kids can hold the smaller gators and have their picture taken, or simply watch them in their tanks. Closer to the tables, guests can shop an assortment of T-shirts and other collectibles that proclaim their newfound love of reptiles and tongue twisters.

The recently opened Okaloosa Island restaurant has 16,000 square feet and more than 400 seats across two levels where guests can sit for a burger or shrimp dish. In addition to three restaurants, guests can enjoy Fudpucker's Watersports, Fishing Charters, or Fat Daddy's Arcade.
