Fudpucker’s started operations way back in 1982 and in all the years since we have weathered our share of disasters. We’ve been through Hurricanes, dealt with the BP Oil Spill, survived the Financial Crisis and more. Never however, have we faced anything like a government forced business closure due to a virus.

Last week the Governor of Florida issued an executive order that all but closed dine-in restaurants and bars throughout the State. Many restaurants have closed and may never open their doors again and thousands of restaurant workers are now unemployed. It is a disaster like none we have ever faced before, but we will survive.

In an effort to support as many of our employees as we can, parts of Fudpucker’s are open to the public:

FUDPUCKER’S RESTAURANT IS OPEN, but we are only able to offer Take-Out and Delivery Services. The good news is that we are offering our full menu. You can order curbside at the restaurant, by phone when you call (850) 654-4200 or online at www.fudpucker.com . We are also establishing relationships with the major delivery services and invite you to order through them if you can’t come by the restaurant. Currently you can order through Door Dash and My Town To-Go and we will be adding Grub Hub early next week. Order away…

GATOR BEACH IS OPEN, and we invite you to stop by to check our everything that “The World’s Greatest Alligator Park” has to offer. This is a safe way to spend some time with family and friends as we have ramped up our cleaning protocols and have hand sanitizer available for your use in all high traffic locations.

FUDPUCKER TRADING COMPANY IS OPEN, and we invite you to browse our new T-Shirt and Merchandise selections. If you can’t come by please visit our online store at https://fudpuckerstore.com/. We have made many improvements to the site and would love to have you check it out. Visiting us at the restaurant is a safe way to spend some time with family and friends as we have ramped up our cleaning protocols and have hand sanitizer available for your use in all high traffic locations.

Please keep us in mind as we get through this craziness together and do stop by the next time you are in Destin. We will welcome you with open arms.

Sincerely,

Father Fud

PS – Stay Safe and Strong
