Angler's Beachside Grill Reviews

As a destination wedding, I randomly called places to book my venue and unfortunately had to leave messages until I called Anglers. Anglers manager, Brad, got on the phone and spent 25 minutes talking with me about the venue and how they host a wedding. SOLD! Natalia M and Sandi, coordinator, were fabulous! Constant communication even 4 months out. We did our food tasting after booking and even the bartender gave recommendations! Food is fabulous and the day itself was smooth. As a bride, I had no reservations and all went smoothly. The decorations set up by Olga, Katya and Lucy were gorgeous! If you’re looking for a beautiful beach wedding without hassle, this is the place. Thank you Anglers! PS we went back two days later to Anglers to eat again.

The entire Angler's team (Natalia, Mikayla, Brad, and Sandi) were absolutely amazing to work with. They really were our team of wedding superheros that helped us every step of the way in executing our dream wedding. Everything happened exactly as planned... even with the weather being a little finicky. They set us up with a great officiant
(Ted Corcoran) who was so incredibly personable that our ceremony felt like a relative was taking care of our nuptials. From start to finish, the entire planning process was ZERO stress. Did I mention that venue is beautiful?!! Icing on the cake, the food was delicious! Thank you Angler’s for taking care of us. People, book here, you won't regret it!

Our wedding was all I wanted and some I never knew I wanted!! It was storming that day and the staff was incredible through it all, so attentive!! It was the best day of my life and then some. I would highly recommend Angler's for your dream beach wedding!! THANK YOU!!

Angler’s made my beach wedding dreams come true!! 🥹 the venue is STUNNING! everything was so beautiful. Natalia & Mikayla were amazing from day one, they made planning a destination wedding so easy. The planning process was so fun, they made all of my visions come to life. Sandi, our coordinator, made sure our day was perfect. She was very tentative & kept everything moving smoothly. It was so nice to work with her.

Ted Corcoran was our officiant, recommended by Angler’s, he was fabulous! He went above & beyond for us, our ceremony was perfect.
Brad was also very kind & helpful, we met him the night before the wedding at our rehearsal. The staff at Angler’s is very kind & so welcoming! I highly recommend Angler’s for your beach wedding 🥰

Just want to say, all staff members were very kind and attentive to all the details involving our special day. Brad was awesome from day one when he walked us through the venue when we were considering that location. Natalia was the greatest. She communicated all details through email due to being out of state but answered all questions in a timely manner. The day was perfect, no a hitch anywhere. Food was terrific and all our guests were very happy and had a great time. Our marriage was 26 Mar 2022 and hope more people can make their special day plans there at Angler's with the new updated and renovated top floor venue... It looks so great with windows from floor to ceiling overlooking the beautiful Gulf with emerald colors and white sand. Hint, schedule your ceremony to end with time to get pictures on the beach with the sunset. We did that and they are amazing.

I don’t think I could say anything better about this venue! They were kind, worked hard on all our decor and everything turned out perfectly

We held our rehearsal dinner at Angler's and if I would have known what a unique, perfect spot it was I would have planned the reception there! It was a perfect location on the pier in Okaloosa Island. The room was overlooking the ocean where we saw dolphins and the sun set. They allowed us to plug in an iPod for music (we definitely rocked it!) and provided us with decor for our tables. The buffet style, appetizer dinner was delicious. We even had a margarita fountain. It was perfect for our party of 50-60 people and I am sure it could accommodate more. My mother-in-law coordinated everything with them and she said they were so great and enthusiastic about our special night. It has a lot of character and was the perfect spot to take our out-of-town guests!

we had out reception at Angler's and it was exactly everything we wanted in a beach side reception, it was casual and care free exactly what we needed and we were looking for Patty was so easy and down to earth to work with and flexiable in all the things we needed, we used Sandprints Photography, destin DJ and also Suzan Lasko (for flowers) and couldn't have asked for better service the food was better than we expected and everyone went back up for seconds!

The only reason this venue did not receive a 5.0 was due to a switch in the wedding coordinator - which led to a small delay in some responses for a while - but once Ofelia took over, she did GREAT!!! This venue is not extremely fancy - but that was not what we were looking for. The food was great and VERY affordable for a beach wedding!!! We would recommend this venue to anyone!

I selected Angler's for our wedding & reception site. The private hall above the restaurant was beautifully decorated. It was definately more than I could have possibly anticipated. The server/bartender did an awesome job keeping everything cleaned & was there to assist us in any possible way that she could.

Overall, we had a great experience at Angler's. Both Brad and Natalia were pleasant to work with. The venue was stunning and the food choices were excellent. There were some points of miscommunication about the event and on the day of the event that could have been prevented to make things run more smoothly. Some guest reported a negative experience with the on-site coordinator which was discussed with management. Management was quick to respond to all questions and/or concerns when asked.

Patti and the staff at Anglers was FANTASIC!!! They made sure my wedding went off without a hitch and most importantly, without stressing me out!! We had a wonderful time and I would recommend to anyone!

We were just there for a wedding this past weekend. We were excited because we thought it would be a very stress free experience. The wedding planner was very sweet and helpful leading up to the wedding. We tried calling a couple days prior to let them know what time we would be arriving that day to decorate, but we couldn't get through by phone to anyone at the restaurant. We arrived at 11:30 am the day of the wedding to put the decor on the tables. When we went up to the room it was very dirty, floors were sticky, the tables and chairs were dirty and not set up. A manager brought us up table cloths and said she would get someone up to clean. She seemed a little upset with how the room looked as well. It had been a few hours and no one had come up to clean so we found cleaning supplies and paper towels and cleaned off the tables and chairs. The bride and mother, and Bridesmaids ended up moving the chairs and tables around and put on the tablecloths and decorated. At 4:00 no one had been up to mop the sticky floors yet, so I went down and asked if anyone would be up to clean the floors and the gentlemen I talked to was very rude and said "are they sticky do we even really need to do that?" And I was a little upset because they were making what should have been a good day very stressful, especially because at this time we had done all of the manual labor which is what we didn't want to do and why we booked through a restaurant. A little later on the wedding coordinator arrived and got someone to clean the floors and the rest of the evening went off great and it turned out nice. Hopefully our experience was a one-off and the managers can train some of the staff on general customer service and courtesy. The coordinator was really great so no complaints with her.

There was a lot of communication gaps. The women who actually did the set up was a life saver.
