Restaurants in Destin

“Great Italy like experience. Food is served hot and taste amazing. There is a large selection of food with a kids menu that has real food! Service is good and very family friendly.”

“We had such a fun time at Fudpucker’s! My son absolutely loved the gator interactions—it was definitely the highlight of our visit. Everything was exciting and super engaging for kids. The food was great too—everything we ordered was delicious and made the whole experience even better. Emily, the photographer, was amazing! She was so kind, knew exactly what she was doing, and worked quickly while still capturing great moments. We really appreciated how smooth and easy she made everything. Overall, such a memorable and family-friendly place. We’ll definitely be back!”

“Great food with excellent service. Kristen exceeded all service expectations. We will be back very soon. Best breakfast in town.”

“Don’t let the plain exterior fool you, this place is dope. Julianne greeted us with a smile and was an excellent host/server. They have Gluten free garlic cheesy bread as well as gluten free pizza crust that is fantastic. Had a couple of the specialty pizzas and am in heaven. Run, don’t walk to Merlins!”

“After hearing so many great things about this place, I finally made it out here to try it for myself. The atmosphere was beautiful and elegant. Brandon our server was amazing. The way Brandon described the specials and the menu items, he made it sound like it was going to be the best meal of my life. The food was spectacular so HUGE kudos to the chef. You are doing everything perfect. Atmosphere is 10 out of 10, service is a 100 out of 10 and the food was a 10 out of 10. I will definitely be back and thank you for the amazing dining experience.”

“Great dining experience! Food was amazing and our server Tiffanee was top notch! She was knowledgeable and made great recommendations!”

“I think this was the best ice cream I've ever had. I sampled 2 and ordered 2 scoops of brown butter bourbon truffle ($8.08). Only a few inside tables but plenty for an evening in December. I noticed the candy/fudge options bur didn't purchase on this trip. 10/10 recommend!”

“My team and I have had the opportunity to dine at Dat Burrito Place multiple times over the past month, and each visit was a delightful experience from start to finish. I can confidently say that their commitment to friendly and prompt service is unmatched. From hearty burritos and flavorful rolled quesadillas to mouthwatering Mexican street corn, rich and savory birria, and light and crispy fish tacos, there's something to please every palate on their menu. Treat yourself and support local by giving Dat Burrito a try!”

“Louisiana Redfish was PHENOMENAL. Shrimp and Grits was EXCELLENT. On the apps: recommend the Pork Belly, Fried Green Tomatoes and the Crab Cakes - ALL AMAZING. Service was great too. Prices are a bit high, but typical for waterfront view, but they had a good bar happy hour and a BOGO half off entrée special for early diners, which was unexpected and appreciated!”

“My husband had raw oysters and said they were some of the best he ever had. He then got the blackened grouper with an amazing sauce. I had the chicken alfredo and it was delicious! We had a great server, TJ!”

“Best Indian food in Destin!”

“Tiffany is an amazing server she recommended lemon blueberry mimosas which were fabulous, and also recommended the beignets. She made our first visit at another broken egg very good. Thank you Tiffany. We will definitely be back before we leave Destin”

“Went to Fish-On in Destin today and had an awesome experience. The manager and chef both came out and introduced themselves, which you don’t see much anymore. We learned they’re one of only three restaurants in Destin serving locally caught seafood that’s truly fresh — never frozen — and you can taste the difference. The chef has been on Hell’s Kitchen twice, and you can tell he takes real pride in what he puts on the plate. Everything we ordered was excellent, and the prices were surprisingly fair for the quality you’re getting. If you’re in Destin and want something legit, this place is a hidden gem. Highly recommend.”

“Loved everything about this quaint Italian cafe. Coffee, sandwiches, crepes and frittatas are absolutely delicious. Also loved getting to know Marco, who owns the Cafe. 10/10”

“Excellent food and atmosphere.....kabobs and red snapper were excellent.....come and enjoy....”

“We were in the area for a week and went to East Pass almost every morning for the best coffee and breakfast!”

“Best tacos I’ve ever had! And the homemade Salsa is to die for, 🔥🔥🔥🔥💃💃💃”

“Just ate here on vacation and it was amazing! Tom was our waiter and went above our expectations with fast service and even had special drinks prepared for us. He recommended great menu items and brought different sauces for our food. We will be back again!”

“Tried a new place for breakfast this morning. Atmosphere was excellent. Not noisy at all. There are options for seating - outside, inside and a counter area. Very clean! Staff is very friendly and very polite. The kitchen was on point - food came out very quick and was delicious. Highly recommend and will definitely be back!!”

“Fantastic dinner and drinks, the flavors are incredible! Great service all with a beautiful view! Bonus was a dolphin sighting. New fan favorite. Husband already requested for birthday dinner next year.”

“Great place with really good food and amazing staff. This place never gets old and is a favorite to eat at when in Destin. I can always find something new on the menu to try. Ali and Liezl are great too! They can always point you in the right direction if you don't know what to order. Highly recommend this place to anyone visiting.”

“My family and I had the best dinner. Appetizers, entrees and dessert were all absolutely amazing. Our server was on top of it and kept us very happy. 10/10 experience!”

“The best breakfast sandwiches on the Emerald Coast—hands down. the croissants are unreal, and it’s one of those spots you keep finding excuses to go back to. Our favorite is when the French Dip lands the first week of every month. We make the drive down from Ponce de Leon just to get it. No joke—it’s that good. If you’re anywhere near Destin, it’s 100% worth the stop.”

“We’ve been here several times during the evening hours. But our first time experience at lunch was a bit disappointing. My food came out but my wife’s calzone came much later. Our waiter was hardly checking on us for refills and never apologized or even tell us the food would come out late. (Plus no bread or their special oil.) I know it was lunch, but my highlight was the bread. I don’t know if we will come for lunch for a while, but we will give it a chance for evenings. I even wrote a note on the receipt and left my phone#. But as yet have I received a call.”

“The owners and staff are amazing, and the food is absolutely delicious! Best burgers in the area in my opinion. Highly recommend eating there.”

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️Definitely a 5 Star experience. Food is great in dining area and the SkyBar above is always fun and entertaining.”

“Best food I had while in Destin!”

“The Back Porch did not disappoint one bit. We loved the atmosphere. We were seated out on the back porch right in front of the gulf and had a wonderful breeze blowing the whole time, which was great since we were visiting Florida in August. We got seafood and steak. The steak was amazing and tender. The grouper, crab bites and twice baked potatoes were delicious! We will definitely be back!”

“Not bad pizza overall. Unfortunately they force you to get three toppings, or if you want less you still pay for three…? Most bizarre was the fact that they actually consider the mozzarella or “other cheese” as one of the three toppings??? That’s not NY, might be central FLA, which is fine. As the review started, not bad pizza but floppy especially if you order more than a topping. “Three toppings” intention actually means in ADDITION to the cheese. 12” for $22 is crazy & the gimmick of an 18” for $27 clarifies the gimmick. Order the pizza to be cooked “well done” & hopefully that should help with floppiness without burning. Enough of the pizza dissection. The small bar portion is cozy & half price HH is great! Will be back for HH, not certain for grub.”

“Best Ice Cream shop Im the panhandle hands down! ownership is top notch”

“We had the best time , food was great. Service was on point. Highly recommend a visit”

“My husband took me to the melting pot in Destin for our anniversary. Our server, Grant, was the BEST!! If you go to the melting pot, make sure that you ask for this young man. He is very polite, patient and accommodating.”

“A hidden gem in Destin! A tiny spot with parking in the back. The atmosphere is quaint with maybe 7 tables inside and 4 tables outside. I’d imagine during peak season you’d need a reservation. Out bottle beer and champagne split was not ice cold, but that’s the only thing I’d complain about. I had the gyro platter, the meat was perfectly seasoned and served over a bed of rice. The salad was served on the same platter with a nice balsamic type dressing and plenty of feta cheese crumbles. My husband ordered the Swedish meatballs served on garlic mashed potatoes and the salad on the same platter. He did say some of meatballs were a touch overcooked but over all enjoyed the meal. We will definitely go back to try other dishes.”

“Brandi was a great hostess , The food was Outstanding , The Blackened Snapper was The Best . I Highly recommend Jackacuda’s In Destin Fl”

“World Cup viewing with World Cup specials. AC rocks with excellent happy hour cocktails.

Holly went out of her way to make us feel at home. A great place to see the match and chill out in the middle of a hot day.”

“Excellent service & food was perfect! Highly recommend them !”

“The best tacos in Fort Walton Beach! I highly recommend visiting this place.”

“Let me tell you about Connor. Now I don’t go to Olive Garden all that often, and you know, it’s usually okay. Connor was our waiter tonight, and he was amazing. He checked up on us frequently, he brought us refills, and he got the entire restaurant singing happy birthday to my friend and it made her day. He even wrote happy birthday on the plate in raspberry puree how kind. This man is seriously the best waiter I have had anywhere in a long time. He has a beautiful singing voice as well, put this man in a choir. Give him a raise, give him a parking space with his name on it, give him everything. The world should know the service of Connor the Waiter.”

“We had beyond amazing experience at the emerald coast location. We sat outside with our two little kids. Our server walked out (Chante) and right away started to engage with the kids and made them smile and feel so welcome. As a parent it was just heartfelt and amazing to have someone so kind to the kids. It made our night the kindness that was shown. If we are ever back in Destin we will be going back.”

“We had a fantastic dinner at Ruth's Chris Steak House in Destin. From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was warm and inviting, and the service was attentive without being intrusive. The steaks were cooked to perfection—tender, flavorful, and served on those signature sizzling plates that make every bite a treat. The sides were generous and delicious, rounding out an excellent meal.
It was the perfect spot to celebrate our family vacation in the Destin area. Everything from the food to the hospitality made for a memorable evening. We highly recommend it and look forward to dining here again on our next trip.”

“We love the FOOD here 😋 service is top notch!”

“Beautiful restaurant and wonderful service from hostess to our server, Candace.”

“The food is amazing here. The service is quick and attentive. They really take pride in their food.”

“Had lunch & dinner here, great wait staff, ate inside which was very pleasant. Had the chicken, tenderloins, avocado chicken flatbread, pizza, and the chicken Toscana pasta. All very good! If you are staying w/Wyndham, upon check-in, They gave us a wristband that got us 20% off each time. We are higher up in the Wyndham tier so not sure if that’s why we got it or not, but it doesn’t hurt to ask!”

“Second year eating here and they have great service and our waiter Brandon was very professional and constantly made sure we were satisfied! Highly recommend!”

“never had a bad meal all is good just sit and enjoy”

“Good cheese burgers and I LOVE their French Fries 🍟 😋”

“I had the All Star Breakfast. This is the first place I ate while on vacation. We don’t have Waffle House in Texas. The smell of waffles filled the restaurant. 😋”

“The fries were cold but the burger was good. I don’t come here often cause whataburgers are only in north Florida and the panhandle. I’m in south Florida. I give this experience a 7/10 I still Recommend it.”

“We stayed in Destin for a week and stumbled upon this place. It’s a little rough from the outside - looks like it’s in a mobile home trailer - but don’t let that fool you. The food and service were both excellent. My daughter insisted we come back and eat at Thai Smile our last night in town. We are vegetarians and they were very polite, informative and accommodating, and remembered us when we came back. Highly recommend.”

“Been to the Harbor Tavern a bunch of times but never to eat I finally got to try some items off the menu recently and lemme tell you they did not disappoint! I tried the mediterranean bowl with gyro meat with additional add-on of gyro meat and extra tahini sauce for the fries that we ordered everything was flavorful and so fresh tasting I can’t wait to try other menu items”

“If you’re looking for a premier spot in Destin that masters both upscale comfort food and an elite beverage program, The Craft Bar delivers. From their outstanding craft burgers and perfectly crispy fried chicken to a stellar meatloaf, the kitchen consistently hits the mark. Pair any of that with their massive selection of craft beers or a meticulously mixed craft cocktail, and you're set.

The Pro-Tip: Monday nights are the absolute sweet spot here—they run a $9 burger special that is easily the best value in town.

Service: Go pull up a stool at the bar and see Shawn and Ashley. They are top-tier, fast, and know their craft inside and out.

🔱 Duplantis • Coastal Curator
Honest. Local. No Mediocrity.”

“I love these shakes. They are delicious and the service has always been great. My only complaint is the weird hours. I wish it stayed open past 4pm during the week.”

“Joined in on a hot hatha yoga sesh with Ashley. The drop in rate was $20, mat, props and water provided. Ashley is really fun to talk to. Her class was the perfect blend of breath work and yoga poses. I am advanced in my practice and would recommend this class to all levels from beginner to expert. The vibes were on point and Ashley was very welcoming and knowledgeable. I will be back!”

“Great burgers and excellent Chicken BLT! Our waiter Josh went above and beyond by answering our menu questions and being friendly! We are from Illinois and will probably be back if we return to Destin for vacation!”

“I have Celiac and the gentleman working was so incredibly helpful and accommodating. He reassured me everything would be safe and even stopped one of the other workers after she almost accidentally cross contaminated my sub. I truly appreciate how careful he was and my sub was delicious. Out of all the jersey mikes I’ve visited this was the best experience I’ve had and it was all because of the one individual who went out of his way to ensure my sub was prepared in a safe way. We visited around 10:45am today, I didn’t catch his name but I hope he sees this and knows how much he’s appreciated.”

“Our Valentines Day dinner was amazing!!”

“Delicious food. I like the Gulf bowl. Friendly staff. My go to place.”

“WOW. I am blown away. I used to be a regular before the remodel and when the old management owned the store, simply because I love sushi, and let me tell you…it was never a pleasant experience…between the workers, attitudes, waits, etc. Today was my first time back after the remodel and to my surprise, with new management. The staff was EXCEPTIONAL. Haley, my waitress, had the bubbliest personality and was SO happy to be there. The sushi chefs were phenomenal, friendly, and good at what they do. Tracey, the new manager of the location, took the time to speak with me and was extremely personable and kind. A complete 180 of the service I used to get. I will definitely be back, and 1000000% recommend. If you have ever had a bad experience in the past, for sure go back with the new management. You are in for a treat. Thanks Rock N Roll Sushi Destin!”

“I don’t think I’ve really been a fan of this place but I was wrong! The smoothie bowls are insane!!! I am in love with them and love all the choices and even though I DoorDash them to my work they are prepped and prepared just as good as visiting onsite! I’m obsessed.”

We tried Pepper's this year and everyone loved it, even our pickiest eaters. The staff was kind and delivery was on time. We will definitely order from them again next year.”

“The food at Blue Iguana is so good and tasty! The waitress Daniela is the most sweetest & caring waitress we have ever had anywhere! She was quick and treated us so nice! The skinny Margaritas are the best around! The Happy Plate with Grilled chicken, rice, cheese & we adddd grilled onion was done perfectly! The Manager Wilson checked on us to make sure everything was good and to make sure we had everything we needed he was so nice & friendly! Also, Shayla seated us and she was very pleasant & nice! The atmosphere at Blue Iguana is such an awesome vibe! Freddy also checked on us! Such an awesome guy! We will definitely be eating here more often!”

“Hands-down best Boba in Destin. The food is outstanding, but I’m a regular for the Boba. My kids and I can’t get enough Don’t waste your time going to any other “boba” spot in Destin. Ive had them all…There is no comparison. This boba is authentic with huge variety of flavor options thAt are fresh amazing even the cups are cute and reusable. The owner is legit behind the counter slingin custom boba creations… If you’re looking for an afternoon pick me up the Vietnamese coffee with tapioca pearls will give you that zing to get all of your afternoon tasks completed. Welcome to Destin, Saigon Spice. So Glad you’re here!! 🫶🏼”

“Great Food Great Service My husband loved the hickory burger and the crab cakes! I got the jumbo shrimp and it was delish! The owner was super friendly! And cannot forget the wonderful drinks that were perfect beachside! Will be back again for sure!”

“We visited On the Rocks last night for the Grave Affair murder mystery dinner and had the best time! The staff were consistently friendly and helpful, which made our experience even better. The entertainment and ambiance were fab and really added to our Halloween night out. We were served finger foods for “dinner,” which were tasty but not very filling. I just wish we had known in advance so we could have had a proper meal beforehand. Overall, I highly recommend this venue, and we will definitely be back!”

“I see the other reviews and I hope the owners address this, i have to semi agree with them. It is totally OVERPRICED‼ I ordered a cup of cinnamon pretzels (which does not come with THE ICING- this makes no sense....most pretzel businesses give you AT LEAST 1 sauce) so with paying for the icing and cinnamon pretzels total was $14.42....we know the economy is struggling but this is gauging....BUT I WOULD SAY THEY TASTED AMAZING, even better than Annie's ....I also ordered a blue frozen drink for $10 and some change and it was watered down (not sweet or flavorful enough for that price)....please address this , you guys could make more by dropping the price a little...instead of running customers away”
