11 Best Chicken Restaurants near Destin

“We had the chicken strips. Got and fresh. Delicious 😋. We ordered red beans and rice they weren't ready so we had the Jambalaya. Good choice. While we were eating they brought is an order of the red beans and rice on the house. I will be going back and the red beans and rice was very good!. I would recommend this to everyone.“

“The scoops are delicious and side choices are amazing. You can’t go wrong no matter what you choose“

“I am a frequent customer and normally everything is good. I place a nice size order tonight for Me and the grandkids. I should have checked the order before I left but they were rushing me through the drive thru and they assured me that everything was in the bags. However it was not. I paid extra for a side salad and NO SALAD. Called and talked to the manager and she said can you come back. No not with 3 little grandkids and 30 Minutes away. And of course she could not find my order even though I gave her my order number. Next time I will stay at the drive thru until I check everything in the bags“

“Just as good as every other Chick-fil-A that I have been to. I really like the way the app let's you order ahead and then pick up on the drive thru. That makes everything convenient. I will recommend this location just as highly as all of the other highly recommended Chick-fil-A locations!“

“Absolutely delicious!! Hot crispy chicken. Amazing sides and a fantastic staff!! Highly recommended!!!“

“Live chick fil a. My prior post about this location was wrong. Niceville knows exactly what they're doing from start to finish. It was the Panama City Beach location that needs a serious upgrade in both food prep and service and response to customer complaints. My sincere apologies to niceville please go out of your way to visit this location and to avoid Panama City Beach.“

“They do not play. The spicy chicken is 🔥 .. I ordered pick up and the order was ready on time. The place was clean but they only had two customers. Everything was delicious. The strawberry shortcake jar, their slim sauce, the ranch, the lemonade. This is my new expectation from fast food establishments. Thanks guys!!“

“Recommend good food friendly“

“Amid extraordinary challenges of supply shortages at this store today, the cashier - Spencer - and Manager - Ms Audri - came through with exceptional service! She apologized for the lack of spicy chicken available and informed me of the possible imminent delivery time but with no promises. She took my name and phone number and said I would receive a call if and when it arrived and was cooked. That was over the top in my view for Customer Service!! I spent time in the BX and returned in 30 min. or so and the cashier called out my name, letting me know my order was ready; hot and Spicy!! Well Done guys!! Keep up the good work! BTW, the food was GREAT!“

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Outstanding Experience at Zaxby’s!

I had an amazing experience at Zaxby’s, and I have to give a huge shoutout to the General Manager, Juju. She is absolutely incredible and truly sets the standard for what great leadership looks like.

From the moment I walked in, Juju’s positive attitude and professionalism stood out. She runs the store with excellence, making sure every customer feels welcomed and taken care of. You can tell she genuinely cares about both her team and the people she serves.

The restaurant was spotless, organized, and had a great atmosphere. My food was fresh, hot, and prepared exactly as ordered. The employees were friendly, respectful, and worked together so well, which is a direct reflection of Juju’s leadership. When a manager leads with kindness, energy, and high standards, it shows in every part of the business.

Juju went above and beyond to ensure everyone was satisfied, and her attention to detail did not go unnoticed. She is hardworking, dedicated, and has an amazing ability to keep the store running smoothly even during busy times. Her passion for her job and her commitment to excellent customer service are truly inspiring.

It’s rare to come across a manager who cares this much and leads with such grace and confidence. Zaxby’s is lucky to have someone like Juju representing their brand. She deserves recognition for the outstanding job she does every day.

I’ll definitely be coming back because of the excellent service, delicious food, and the welcoming environment that Juju and her team create.

Highly recommend this location! Thank you, Juju, for making my visit such a great experience! 👏🏾🔥❤️“
