“Got the Brisket Bene which is delicious minus the poached yoegg (not a fan) but could be the textured. I could drink the hollandaise sauce. I also got the crab loving sandwich, which was good and actually tasted like real crab and strawberry cake, which was so good, and I actually could not eat it all. I can’t wait to go back. I have a list of all the other items I want to try to make a dinner one day.Vegetarian options: All items are vegan and there are gluten-free optionsDietary restrictions: All items are vegan and have gluten-free options”

“Oh my goodness this is absolutely the best breakfast food my husband and I have ever eaten. He got a platter with a side of biscuits and gravy. The gravy is not a typical, American style gravy, it is unbelievable!!! I ordered the French Toast and the flavor is unlike anything you will ever try! I cannot put into words how delicious the food is!!”
“I’m loved this place and the food. Family didn’t share my opinion but kids are too picky anyway. Order at the counter and food is delivered to you. I wouldn’t consider it fast food as my husband did but it did share the convenience of that.”

“The BBQ Smoked Chicken pizza and cheese bread sticks were very delicious. The young lady working the counter on April 11, 2024 around 5pm was exceptionally nice and assured us we would love the pizza...she was correct! You know the food is great when the staff enjoy it and recommend it.”

“Great, affordable seafood. I know seafood, and this place has fresh food that is well seasoned. Even my 11 year old learned to love shrimp, and we went back a 2nd time. Great service both times, the servers are friendly and do a great job. The shrimp was all fresh, seasoned well and tasted great. We had fried, boiled peel n eat, Caribbean grilled skewer, boom boom and popcorn shrimp. All great. The boom boom shrimp tacos were so good. The crab cakes were decent, not the best but still good. Affordable too. Avoid the tourist traps and go here.”

“We visited PB&J during our vacation trip to Destin. The food was amazing, felt very upscale compared to what we paid. Everyone, including all of our kids, devoured the food. The sweet potato fries were some.of the best I've ever had. The staff was friendly and patient with our big family. We have 6 kids and they took their time making sure everyone got what they needed and even offered books for them from their cute lending library!!! What a treat. We will definitely be going back next time we are in town.Dietary restrictions: We do have a child with a gluten sensitivity and they were more than happy to accommodate”

“This was our first restaurant pick of our first time vacationing in Fort Walton near Destin. Eating out on the beach is something we’d not done before, so that was really fun. We enjoyed the firecracker shrimp tacos and bronzed fish tacos, with a slice of shared key lime pie for dessert. The seasoning on the fish and shrimp was incredible and the firecracker sauce was very tasty. The side of rice pilaf I chose was fantastic and the coleslaw my husband ordered was good (heavily mayo-based). The pie was a more subtle key lime and almost more of a cheesecake, which is always a delight as compared to an overly tart lime or artificially-flavored pie. The sweet tea was a very dark brew, which I loved.It was more pricey to eat here than we were expecting, about $23/plate, and the slice of pie was $8, but the meal was yummy and the atmosphere and location was a treat. Our waitress was very attentive as well; so all in all, we’re glad we came.”
“We had a fantastic experience with the crepes atCapriccio Cafe! We ordered two Nutella crepes with strawberry and bananas, and they were absolutely delicious. The older gentleman who greeted us inside was incredibly sweet. We'll definitely be stopping by again when we're back in town! Highly recommended!”

“Delicious foods, friendly services, local favorite. Must visit if vacationing around Destin, Miramar, Sandenstin, or Santa Rosa beaches. Must try Ribeye steak!Parking: Parking pass given at gate. Restaurant hidden within private condo complex.Kid-friendliness: Kids cheeseburgers”
“We are locals but this is our first time here. We walked up to the sky bar grabbed a table and immediately greeted by Chelsea as our waitress. She was AMAZING! But wait there’s more, she was not the only one that checked on us. 2 other bartenders (Jorge and Shelby) also checked on us for water, extra drinks, anything we needed. Definitely a team atmosphere. The live music, adult only, and couches over the water are an incredible vibe. We will definitely be back. Highly recommend even if you have a big group. The views of the harbor with heaters and fire pit make it a great place to come year round.”

“Just an all around amazing experience. Great food, great service, super cool atmosphere. Prices for food and drinks are very reasonable. Everything you want in a great restaurant experience. Seated our family of 13 without issue. Loved it!”
“A Destin staple, love this little spot. Service is relatively quick and servers are always friendly. The Korean BBQ wings are phenomenal, and the mahi mahi tacos are my go-to. Very cute outdoor eatery, I bring all my out-of-towners here.Parking: For the most part, there is plenty of parking however sometimes the lot does get full. As long as you use the kiosk inside the resturaunt to validate your parking, its free. If you don't, you will get a ticket in the mail so beware.Kid-friendliness: Small corn-hole setup at the front of the restaurant.”
“Great looking place with great service. Food was mediocre as there was little taste to it. We had the classic french toast and southern omelet. French toast has no flavor, the syrup is very watery for some reason and had little taste as well.”

We tried so many dishes on this menu. We went here last year. This was our second time. We will be going back! The wait time can be a little ridiculous but the food is worth it. The service is great. It's clean, it's fun, it's right by the ocean, it's just an overall amazing place to be. I suggest if you're in Destin 100% give this place a try!”
“This is a great place to go have a few beers and a nice dinner, we went there 3 times while in Destin. We enjoyed the steak frites, fish tacos and truffle fries and the service was good too. They are very dog friendly which was a plus for us since we had our dog with us!”
“My husband and I held our wedding reception at Marina Cafe on 2/24/24! It’s one of our favorite restaurants on the Harbor! Everything was perfect from the planning with Bridget, to the delicious food, and especially the excellent service! I wish I could name each one of the staff who took care of our family and friends! Tina is amazing and treats us like family every time we go. Marina cafe was very flexible and open to our ideas. We wanted to live-stream our ceremony from our yacht into the venue for our guests and they helped make that happen. We love Marina Cafe and you will too!The Sloans”
“Great local feel. The weather was crummy but the works were warm and friendly. We enjoyed the fudge & taffy. Definitely worth stopping in. Has a very quant feel.”
“We had a great experience, the staff was lovely, and the sandwiches were GIANT and delicious! We ordered the club with potato salad and the Cuban with tots- I recommend both. They also have daily dinner specials (spaghetti, fried chicken meals etc.)and breakfast all day so you can get a full hot meal as well!”

“Jazz was a ray of sunshine. She was very friendly, knowledgeable and efficient. She helped us decide and think outside the box of what we normally get and I’m so glad she did. The food was excellent.”
“New chef, new menu, and we love it!! So many good options to choose from compared to the old menu. The paella was the best we've had in town, full of protein and authentic flavor. It was so good that we came back the following weekend. The crispy calamari, crab cake, and dumplings were also very good. The wait is a little bit too long, but it’s worth it.”
“Joey was our server tonight and he did a great job! Kimmy the GM walked around asking us how everything was. I loved how much they value their customer service! We are appreciative of this spot in our small beach town!”
“Our server whose name was Angel, made our visit to olive garden, well worth while.Angel is the loveliest young lady I've met in a long time. She is so efficient, she was extremely helpful, answered every question. We had regarding the menu. Such a happy, energetic, willing young lady with such an effective beautiful smile. She definitely lives up to her name. Thank you Angel,”
“Therese and Sydney the bartenders there are absolutely amazing! They made our trip to Destin very memorable and the fact that they serve food until 1 is super convenient and also delicious!! Highly recommend!!”
“Great food. Great Service. Jackacuda’s is one of our favorite restaurants in all of Destin (we’ve been 5 times now). The poke nachos and fish tacos are a must try. For drinks, try the lemon drop martini or the captains margarita. If you’re in the bar area make sure you ask for Keith! He always takes great care of us.”
“The Destin location has the best staff I’ve ever encountered. Shelby, Teena, and Dom were great. We came for the lobster tails, and they were out, but the team went above and beyond to make our experience a good one. I’ve never had this kind of customer service anywhere. They are great!!!”
“Our service was great, Jennifer was very accommodating and friendly. Food was amazing. My husband had yellow tail with jalapeño and pork belly appetizers. OMG, so good. I had chicken, mashed potatoes and carrots. ? It was my birthday weekend so the restaurant presented us with a beautiful dessert. ?”
“Well, since we've come here twice now,I thought I should share the word about Grand Vista Bar And Grill. First off the staff is excellent! One of the most attentive staffs I've seen. They work as a team. Anexample of this just this morning when we're having breakfast One of the other servers came by and picked up our plates. Not even his table. I love coming to a place like this because management understands everybody's working as a team to the end. Peggy had the French toast second time. She must've liked it. I had an omelette loaded up with all the goodies. There wasn't anything left on the plate. I forgot to order the onions and cheese in my hashbrowns but they were good. Overall will be back again. Although I have to admit we are somewhat of captured audience right now. We are sitting in Destin Harbor and with our refrigerator on the fritz.Being a holiday so that will be a slow repair. So will be exploring all the local restaurants.”
“Love this place! There’s always good vibes, good food and good fun! It’s family friendly because they have a restaurant attached. There’s also cool games you can play and they have great music weekdays and on the weekends! They’re customer service is fast and friendly! Great job guys! Keep it up!”
“Last week I was in Fl, I stopped by Thai Basil for lunch and ordered “Ba Mee Hang”, The flavor of the dish is not my taste because it has a sweet kick to it. If anyone doesn’t mind the savory and sweet taste in your food - this Maybe your dish. However, I share a small bowl of the meatball noodles with my sister and it was DELICIOUS! The meatball was perfect, nothing like the frozen one. I highly recommend the meatball noodles if you have a chance to come to this place.”
“I travel to Destin a few times a year, and this is one of the few restaurants I always plan to dine at. Great happy hour specials, great location and staff that's always ready to help!”
“Im from Alabama and we don't have many Joe's anymore., I was super excited to come across this location., The food was awesome., They was everything I was Expecting.”

“We are on the 20th floor which has an amazing view but elevators have been an issue. We also had difficulty with the cable for several days. Had to have our travel agent get ahold of them to get anything done about it. The rooms look like they are being remold and are nice just slightly out dated. No charging ports so bring a cube.”

“Service was great and so was the shrimp macaroni. Food is pretty pricey plus it cost $20 to park just to eat. Cost me around $60 just to eat macaroni for dinner. Probably won’t come back just for that inconvenience.”
Takeout Restaurants
“Their ice cream is really good, most popcorn is too I just had one with cheddar cheese and jalapeno that was very weird tasting like powder cheese, the caramel popcorn is way better.”
“This was a 10/10 experience! The staff was amazing to work with. I had a very specific request to surprise our friends and they made it happen! Not only were they helpful, but very patient with us as well. We also had an opportunity to meet the owners, they were very kind and great to work with! It’s nice to have a different option than Ice Cream. If you need a break from all the ice cream shops, definitely stop by and enjoy a huge cookie!”
“My partner and I went to this awesome restaurant for breakfast. It has outdoor seating too, even though the place was packed still everyone was getting their food on time so kudos to the staff and service.We had white mocha coffee, caramel macchiato ( better than starbucks ), french toast & avocado toast and everything was tasty.Overall it's a must visit place for breakfast and highly recommended.”

“We're from MN, and my son wanted Ribs. I encouraged him to wait for good southern BBQ. Boy, was he happy he waited. The service was great and friendly. The food was DELICIOUS. We got Brisket, Wings, Ribs, beans, creamy slaw, potato salads, and corn bread. It was all SOOOO good. The Wings I could eat every single day. The best I've ever had (and I like my Wings). Definitely a treasure to Destin, and if we come back... I wouldn't leave without another trip to Moe's. Thanks, guys! It was all we wanted, plus some. I'd love to see you guys in MN.”
“ROLLED ICE CREAM? WHHHAAAAT? So much fun, and so scrumptious, too!10 stars ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐?I chose chocolate with peanut butter and coffee mixed in... (Now, if I could just find plenty butter chocolate flavored coffee ☺️)”
“Fresh, tasty and quick. Priced well and good service. We had a combo of burritos, quesadillas and tacos with our 8 person crew. Everything was great and everyone was happy, which is hard. You can't go wrong with anything on the menu. Will definitely be back!”
“This is probably the better places that I ate in Destin.I enjoyed the fries and the food.The service was awesome however we were kind of the only ones in there so that’s to be expected.I definitely would go back.”
“Operated by an Italian couple which knows first-hand how to make excellent Italian food. Talking with the cook who has an Italian accent is part of the experience and the atmosphere, which is an upscale food court with other vendors. It even has a golfing simulator attached to this food court. Just try it and you will be blown away by the quality of Italian food and service. I'm going to come back here next visit to the area.”
“Our family Had the banana cream, fruity pebbles, Passion berry and strawberry cheesecake rolled ICE cream... ALL flavors were really good. I spotted this ice cream truck when we got into Destin and couldn't get it off my mind, just had to try it out! She puts the ingredients down and rolls the ice cream right where you can see her doing it. It's really cool to see. And this rolled ICE cream is dro! I enjoyed this better than a typical ice cream shop. Try it out! You won't be disappointed! My picky eater even loved it (the banana cream)!”
“I arrived just past the cutoff for lunch sadly. However, the gentleman behind the counter was SO helpful. He suggested chicken salad on a croissant and offered to assemble it for me with a bit of Dijon. Very kind and let me tell you what...that sandwich was bliss. I haven't had much if any if a appetite lately after having recently lost my mother. That chicken salad croissant was the first thing that's had any taste for me in weeks. Now I'm going to waddle around Target, and later I will eat the jam filled almond croissant I purchased. Very good food here and just lovely service.”
“I enjoyed everything about this restaurant. I love the location right by waterside where I can enjoy watching the boats, tiki huts and seeing folks enjoy everything on offer. I experienced a warm welcome from my server Josie. She was very accommodating and served with a genuine smile and demeanor. I dined on the seafood gumbo and fresh mixed side salad with ranch dressing accompanied by an American Mule cocktail. Delicious! I recommend this eatery for a fabulous experience.”
“Food is always delicious and looked beautiful! Service is always amazing. This has become our favorite sushi place. We drive from Santa Rosa Beach past many other sushi places to come here. The staff is always friendly and have come to remember us when we visit.”
“We happened upon this place on accident. The gentlemen working were friendly, talkative, and very kind. The first night we had the brownie sundae which didn't disappoint. The ice cream in combination with the warm brownie was enough to send you into a diabetic coma. We stopped again the following night and grabbed two double scoops in a waffle cone. Excellent ice cream. Chill atmosphere. Great guys behind the counter. We'll be back!”

It’s yummy!Parking: Parking is cramped and annoying, but it’s not necessarily CSC’s fault. Just the way the plaza parking lot was done.”

“3-14-2024, update.Service was slow. Food was 15 minutes in a drive-through with zero I repeat zero other patrons inside or outside in the drive-through, food wasn’t correct. I’m just amazed how they’re still operating in this area and if they got busy Godspeed to them.Disappointing.”

“About 20min to get through the drive thru, but the service was great and the order was accurate. The drive through line was definitely hairy due to rude drivers. Guess it comes with the territory!”
“Bad customer service and no acknowledge of food ready to a customer that had son waiting to have food and after father told staff could at least said food was ready or call number out ! Not apologetic Attitude or any care of this customer or having good service and I have been plenty of awesome Dunkin’ Donuts to New York and others states .

“Really great ice cream and even better service from the girls working. I was recommended chocolate moose tracks as well as the brown butter ice cream and it did not disappoint! My family and I have been vacationing to Destin every year for spring break, and we look forward to coming by again.”
“This is the best food truck I've ever been to. The owner is so nice and friendly. They have very reasonable prices. We got the beef pazole. It was so good. I've never had it before. We also got birria tacos, a shrimp taco, and a al pastor. Al pastor is my favorite when it has pineapples. It was so so so good. Had a good selection of jaritos and Mexican coke. They have a small inside eating are which I think is genius. Inside is the sauce bar. Thier hot sauces are hot so be careful. This place has 5 stars for a reason. Be sure to stop by.Parking: Not a lot of parking.”
“Always amazing, always fresh, always tasty.Don't miss out on this place, you won't regret itLittle updateWent today and chicken was tasty but very dry.Rice was not made fresh.Mid meal I went to get some more food to go for the kids.Ordered the 2 chicken family meal.

“I don't know how it took me so long to go to this awesome wine bar right by the Commons in Destin. I've seen it forever and just went there for the first time this evening with two friends/colleagues. The service was excellent and when I learned that it is run by a family that really made sense. Everyone was so friendly. The charcuterie board we ordered was delicious and full of flavorful cheese, fruit, meats, and a variety of items I've actually never even tried before. Everything was delicious. Their happy hour was great and I will definitely be back.”

“Great crab legs! We made this one of our stops on vacation for all you can eat legs.I recommend for quality. You have to pay for parking. Grace was a wonderful waitress. Thank you Grace for the great service!”
“This was our first restaurant pick of our first time vacationing in Fort Walton near Destin. Eating out on the beach is something we’d not done before, so that was really fun. We enjoyed the firecracker shrimp tacos and bronzed fish tacos, with a slice of shared key lime pie for dessert. The seasoning on the fish and shrimp was incredible and the firecracker sauce was very tasty. The side of rice pilaf I chose was fantastic and the coleslaw my husband ordered was good (heavily mayo-based). The pie was a more subtle key lime and almost more of a cheesecake, which is always a delight as compared to an overly tart lime or artificially-flavored pie. The sweet tea was a very dark brew, which I loved.It was more pricey to eat here than we were expecting, about $23/plate, and the slice of pie was $8, but the meal was yummy and the atmosphere and location was a treat. Our waitress was very attentive as well; so all in all, we’re glad we came.”
“Excellent Restaurant!!!! Rashaud was our server and he was so caring and attentive. Food was delicious and live music with Josh/Sinatra Tribute was great as well. Wonderful experience!”
“It was a good meal to cap a great Destin fall break vacation. I went with fried grouper and my sweet bride chose the blackened redfish. Hers came with e’touffe and a cheese grit bed. I just had the usual fries. Her redfish was fantastic. Cooked to perfection. The sides she enjoyed immensely as well. My grouper was fried to perfection. It was a fine meal. It was a fresh seafood meal so it was a bit pricey but considering we would be driving back to Indiana in the morning, it was a “well worth it” splurge. Give Harry T ‘S a go. You won’t be sorry.”
“A very pleasant experience as we happened upon this place for the first time on New Years Eve. They offered a special menu that includes lobster tails and filet mignon. We dined on the lobster and chose creamed spinach as one of our sides. A fantastic choice. We were so pleased with our experience that we returned New Years Day to Iry their special brunch offering. Again very pleased. We met the owners who are intensely engaged in its operation. It's nice to patronize a place run by such enterprising owners who know how to put out great food in such a comfortable environment.”

“Great, affordable seafood. I know seafood, and this place has fresh food that is well seasoned. Even my 11 year old learned to love shrimp, and we went back a 2nd time. Great service both times, the servers are friendly and do a great job. The shrimp was all fresh, seasoned well and tasted great. We had fried, boiled peel n eat, Caribbean grilled skewer, boom boom and popcorn shrimp. All great. The boom boom shrimp tacos were so good. The crab cakes were decent, not the best but still good. Affordable too. Avoid the tourist traps and go here.”

I enjoy the different food choices they have, but I think the cheeseburger in paradise is still my favorite. I am a fan of Jimmy Buffett and was very surprised at his passing. I am thankful that I got to enjoy his music and attend 2 of his concerts. Rest in peace Jimmy.? ?✌️❤️??”

“Great food. Great Service. Jackacuda’s is one of our favorite restaurants in all of Destin (we’ve been 5 times now). The poke nachos and fish tacos are a must try. For drinks, try the lemon drop martini or the captains margarita. If you’re in the bar area make sure you ask for Keith! He always takes great care of us.”
