This Floating 'Drive-Thru' Burger Joint In The Panhandle Has Major Krusty Krab Vibes

"You like Krabby Patties, don't you, Squidward."

You can live out your Spongebob Squarepants dreams in the Florida Panhandle. Hop in the boat and head to this floating burger joint in Destin, and you'll feel like you're at the Krusty Krab. Reef Burger at Crab Island is the nautical eatery you didn't know you needed. You can work on your tan while you mow down a tasty burger loaded with toppings.

Reef Burger floats on a beautiful bay near a sandbar, giving a whole new meaning to "waterfront restaurant." You'll feel like Spongebob at this famous floating burger joint with ridiculously tasty eats. Order a savory masterpiece with fries while you take a dip. 

You know what they say about restaurants with a view, but this popular eatery on the waves actually has the quality eats to back it up. Reef Burger is considered the "best burger in Destin," so you can devour a delicious meal while out on the water.

Here comes the real challenge: don't drop your burger in the waves! You and your pals won't forget this day on the bay, sipping drinks and munching on a mouthwatering burger.  

This remote eatery is accessible only by water vehicles. If you need one of these burgers, but you don't have a boat handy, you can use Destin Vacation Boat Rentals, which includes pontoons and jet skis. You can also opt for a paddleboard or kayak to get you there. 

Reef Burger is also pet friendly, so bring your pooch who loves the water for a spin on the boat. Just watch out for a furry french fry thief.

Fire up the jet skis and head for Crab Island this summer. When the hot sun takes it out of you, you can fuel up with a juicy hamburger that will tantalize your tastebuds. That way, you can stay and enjoy the waves that much longer.
