Every steamed seafood bucket here is out of this world! Try the Royal Red Shrimp bucket - they are to die for. Buckets are expensive but most will serve at least two people. Definitely worth a stop in Fort Walton Beach!

Avoid the family jumbo steamer unless you want lots and lots of shrimp. Not much crab included in the platter even though we asked before ordering.

Awesome as Usual. Got the Strip and royal red shrimp. Amazing! A little pricey, but well worth it. Only second to Mcguire's as far as quality of food.

We walked over to Old Bay Steamer on the recommendation of the hotel we were staying at. We were surprised that there is no safe crosswalk to get to the restaurant. The nearest stoplight has no crosswalk that we could see to get across the busy intersection. We walked a little further down where there is a traffic sign that... More

The food was absolutely great! The price was a little high but you get what you pay for. We had more than enough to eat and the quality of the food was definitely worth going back. I was not happy about the hostess. I asked about the second floor and she advised that it was for large parties. A party... More

My husband and I ate at Old Bay based on some recommendations and the fact that it was within walking distance to our hotel. It was in general a pretty good experience but there were things that I thought could've been better. First off, the hostess wasn't super friendly and then acted like she might not have a place to...

This place used to be good, what a shame it went to the dogs. Bad food! Bad service! The seafood was not fresh. Seems like there was only kids running the place. I should have taken pics to show. I can't believe the good reviews.I wish it had been good! seems like all the good places here are gone the... More

Last year 2012, we went on vacation to Fort Walton Beach Florida. While we were there we had the chance to eat at the Old Bay Steamer. I thought the food was better than average, with good service and a friendly atmosphere. The decorations made the place even more fun to enjoy while sipping on refreshing cocktails and waiting for...

Don't waste your money! My wife and I ordered the Steamers for two. What I got was an over cooked mess of food with whole shrimp (including) the heads in a pot of everything tastes the same and it was all overcooked. After deheading the shrimp the remainder fell apart it had been cooked so long and the heads were... More
