From Our Table To Yours


Our family of restaurants is quaint but expansive. From Camille’s and Harbor Docks here in Destin, to Five and Chuck’s Fish in Tuscaloosa and Birmingham, AL, to Red Bay Grocery, American Lunch in Tuscaloosa and Dharma Blue in Pensacola, we have a variety of restaurants that touch all corners of the great southeast.


One of our newest additions, Five, is expanding rapidly into most major SEC college towns. Known for its funky and eclectic ambience and menu of five delicious options, this restaurant is one of a kind. Originating in the great town of Tuscaloosa, Alabama the restaurant is now open and running in Athens, Georgia and in its beginning stages in the orange town of Knoxville, Tennessee.

What makes Five so special is its simple menu that is always scrumptious and the refreshing list of cocktails that are consistently delicious.

How is a Destin harbor restaurant and a SEC town restaurant connected you may ask? Well our very own sushi chef, Yoshie, has a son that many of you may know, Chris Eddings who managers Chuck’s Fish and the Five restaurants. We like to think that this small world of delicious food options is just another way to bring Harbor Docks to you wherever you may be.

Whether you’re enjoying the beaches of the Emerald Coast or tailgating at a bulldog’s football game in Athens, we hope you stop by and see us at any of our family’s locations.

Eggs, Bacon, Grits.. Oh My!




We are known for our famous sushi and seafood menu, our delicious breakfast menu is truly the best-kept secret of Destin! Open seven days a week from 7am-11am, we offer a variety of delectable breakfast options for locals and tourists alike.




We have traditional breakfast plates like eggs with bacon, country ham or sausage patties, that are served with warm buttermilk biscuits, toast or grits. Our options of omelets are delicious and fluffy, and our breakfast sandwiches are hearty and filling. The hippie sandwich made with scrambled eggs, tomato, avocado and sprouts on wheat toast is an all-time favorite.


For those with a sweeter tooth, we offer homemade Belgian waffles, pancakes and French toast! Our waffles are one-of-a kind and can be ordered with banana and peanuts, strawberries, or a southern favorite, chicken and waffles.

Whether you’re a local or visiting the Destin area just for vacation, start off your day with a quiet breakfast on our porch viewing the Destin harbor. Hope to see you soon!

Take a Kid Fishing Day


It is one of our favorite times of the year again: Fall, football and our annual charity event Take-A-Kid-Fishing Day.

Take-A-Kid-Fishing Day is so dear to our hearts because it is geared toward helping the local children of Destin and we watch the results unveil right before our eyes on our very own docks. Underprivileged kids from the surrounding areas hop on Destin’s finest charter boats and spend a magnificent day fishing the beautiful waters of the Gulf. The majority of these kids have never been out on the water before.


We have been hosting this event for the past 19 years and with each year it has grown with tremendous success. Last year we had 57 of Destin’s charter boats donate their time and crew to help make the event happen. This year we have 350 spots for children and chaperones alike.


The schedule of the day will kick off with donuts and orange juice on the Big Deck at Harbor Docks at 7 a.m.  All children and chaperones will board the boats at 8 a.m. and set out to fish until 12:30pm. After the boats return to Harbor Docks, we will treat the families and children to a fish fry! All the kids who participate receive a tshirt, fishing rod and reel.


If you or someone you know is interesting in chaperoning or participating, call Harbor Docks between 8 a.m.-5 p.m. Monday through Friday and ask for Jackie, Gina or Becky. Pre-registration is required, so get on board while there are still spots open!

We are so thrilled about this upcoming day and hope to see everyone there!

Caddyshack Classic and Auction Golf Tournament


We hosted our 28th Annual Caddyshack Classic and Annual Auction Golf Tournament on Friday, August 23, 2013 at Emerald Bay Golf Club. The two fundraisers began on Friday with the Caddyshack Classic 18-Hole Golf Tournament and continued through Saturday, August 24, 2013 with the 28th Annual Auction on the Big Deck at Harbor Docks. 

This year’s event was the most successful one to date! In just two days we raised a total of $59,809 for two local charities. Our very special Take A Kid Fishing Day, which is on Sunday, November 4, 2013 and Destin Harvest. Destin Harvest received $10,000 of the proceeds and the remaining $49,809 benefitted Take-A-Kid Fishing Day!

The golf tournament hosted 24 teams at Emerald Bay Golf Club. Golfers were able to enjoy delicious barbecue lunch from Jim ‘N Nick’s of Destin. Around 200 guests attended the auction and bid on 19 live auction lots with fantastic items such as a BOTE board, a trip to the Bahamas, a Fender guitar signed by Brad Paisley and much more. The silent auction included over 40 items such as vacation stays and an iPad donated from Blue Marlin Realty Group!

Our golf tournament was in its 28th year at Emerald Bay and it raises around $10k-12k every year. Last year’s auction alone raised a whopping $31,000! However, this year everyone’s gracious generosity made it the largest donation yet. Thanks Destin, we couldn’t have done it without you!

An Ancient Delicacy


If you're in the mood for a hearty, filling meal at lunch you should stop by and see us. A locals’ favorite, our lunch menu is comprised of delicious Thai specialty dishes, seafood platters, fish sandwiches and more. However, there is one dish that seems to be amongst our most popular and that is the ever so savory stir-fry dish.

Served with spring rolls and a choice of chicken, shrimp, pork, beef or a combination of two customers can never go wrong with ordering this dish. The stir fry is a steaming mixture of cabbage, pineapple, broccoli, carrots and flavorful seasoning all served over rice.

Stir frying is thought to have originated as early as the Han Dynasty in China in 206 BC and was popularized as the primary cooking method of the Chinese culture during the Ming Dynasty in 1368.  This ancient dish has been popular throughout the centuries for one simple reason, it is absolutely delicious.

Next time your hungry stomach growls while your laying out on our Emerald Coast beach or cruising the waters at Crab Island, pull on up and order a delicious, ancient delicacy.

THE Emerald Coast's BEST Grouper Sandwich


The Grouper Sandwich is one of Florida’s most popular dishes. Visitors travel from around the nation to the coastline of the sunshine state to indulge in the sun, waves, sand and of course the fresh fish delicacy that is the Grouper Sandwich.

We are really proud of our Grouper Sandwich; it has been voted the Best of the Emerald Coast for years running. That’s a lot said when your competing for the most popular dish on the Emerald Coast. We like to think it’s a prize worth beaming about when you’re up again hundreds of acclaimed seafood restaurants along the Gulf Coast.

Lunch at Harbor Docks is the perfect time to take a break from sunbathing to enjoy the scenic harbor and a delicious fresh fish sandwich. You can have it your way -- fried, grilled, or blackened with crispy french-fries and coleslaw. Make sure to pencil in plans to visit us your next trip down to the luckiest fishing village and treat yourself to our one-of-a-kind Grouper sandwich.
