"Food is absolutely great! We have been here a few times and never disappointed. Even in the winter, the view is amazing and yet warm inside the restaurant. Would recommend the grilled grouper tacos and the loaded potato salad. The cheese curds and the cheesy jalapeno cigars are fabulous as an appetizer!!! 10/10. Also a great atmosphere, very laid back and chill. Right after eating, definitely spend the $1.00 and walk on the Pier. Best view in Navarre!!"

"If you want a place to hang out, chill, enjoy the beach side vibes this is a good place. We are dinner here, listened to some karaoke, walked the pier, bought some cute things from their gift shop. This is a must stop in Navarre. When we were on the pier we seen several sea turtles and quite a few dolphins. Very much a fun place."

"Windjammers on the Pier.- where your flip-flops are welcome, your drink’s always cold, and the sandwich that’ll haunt your dreams is a glorious beast called the Blackened Redfish Po’Boy.
Windjammers ain’t some overpriced tourist trap with plastic forks and a Jimmy Buffett cover band phoning it in. Nah, this place is perched right on top of the Pier- where the breeze hits just right, the seagulls scream for fries, and every bite comes with a side of oceanfront glory.
Alright, I’m kicking things off with the mini crab cakes. They roll out six of these little beauties, packed with lump and jumbo crab meat like they’re tryin’ to start a party in your mouth. They hit ’em with their own secret seafood spice mix, just enough to wake you up without slappin’ you silly, then toss a lemon wedge on the side and a cup of house-made citrus aioli that’s so good you’ll be lookin’ for stuff to dip in it long after the crab cakes are gone.
Now let’s talk about that po’boy.
We’re talkin’ a thick-cut, blackened-to-hell-and-back filet of redfish—the kind of fish that fought hard and tasted even better for it—laid across a proper piece of Gambino bread, straight outta New Orleans. Not that sad, soggy baguette nonsense. This is the real deal. Crispy outside, fluffy inside, big enough to double as a flotation device if you eat the whole one.
They dress it up the traditional way: lettuce, tomato, pickles, and a big ol’ slather of remoulade that kicks just enough to make your eyebrows raise but won’t send you runnin’ for a glass of milk like a coward. Get the half if you’re tryin’ to keep your shirt buttoned. Get the whole if you’re livin’ right and don’t care who sees you unhinge your jaw like a snake to take that first bite.
And the vibes? Immaculate. Open-air seating, Gulf breeze in your hair, maybe a little sunscreen in your drink, and the sound of waves crashin’ underneath while you eat like a damn legend. Folks fishin’ off the pier behind you, kids runnin’ wild, and a beer in your hand that tastes better purely because you’re not at work.
So if you’re on Navarre Beach, do yourself a favor: get the Redfish Po’Boy. It’s a sandwich, it’s a spiritual experience, and it’s the reason Windjammers has locals comin’ back barefoot and blissed out, day after day."
