“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!“

“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“

“This place is amazing ! I tried the White Cranberry Sangria! Amazing ! We also did 2 flights with multiple beers! All great! The pretzel amazing as well! If you are ever in Destin a must do! Not easy located but worth searching for!!! You will not be disappointed!“

“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.“

“I’ve had a lot of shawarma, but this place is in a league of its own. The meat is perfectly seasoned and juicy, and you can tell the garlic sauce is made in-house. But what really sets this spot apart is the hospitality. The staff treats you like family from the moment you walk in—warm smiles, generous portions, and a genuine pride in what they serve. It’s not just a meal; it’s a highlight of the day.“

“Went here twice while on vacation. Loved the food, atmosphere, and the music. Such a cool, memorable place. I will always visit when on vacation in destin. This place is one of a kind. ✨🤍“

“Sandos has the yummiest sandwiches and coolest drinks. It’s always a fun experience for both breakfast and lunch. Favorite place to grab craft cocktails in awesome glasses.“

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

“My favorite source for espresso beans. 🥰“

“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.“

“Extremely delicious! We come to Destin many times each year and finally tried the Parlor and loved it. The donuts were fresh and amazing and the breakfast tacos were good too! We will be back 🙂“

“Shrimp tacos Baja style were fantastic! My husband enjoyed the ground beef tacos southwest style! Great lunch on our last day in Destin!“

“Truly enjoyed our stop today. I had the Steak Taco Salad and it was terrific. Our server Luz was wonderful, she was friendly, attentive and outgoing. We never had to search or wonder where she was. She anticipated our needs before we were even aware of them and had them at the table before we ever had to ask. She is a pure desire.“

“We come to Destin every year with a large group (about 20) and like to have food brought to the house so we don't take over the restaurant. 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.“

“This place is amazing ! I tried the White Cranberry Sangria! Amazing ! We also did 2 flights with multiple beers! All great! The pretzel amazing as well! If you are ever in Destin a must do! Not easy located but worth searching for!!! You will not be disappointed!“

“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!“

“Fun family atmosphere!
We were seated within 30 mins for a table of 6. During the wait we played Cornhole and enjoyed a beverage from the patio bar.

For starters, their calamari is the best I’ve had in the coast, so give it a try!
We all enjoyed our meal, the portions are generous and the waiters are professional.

Go and enjoy!“

“Mariah was the best all servers should be so talented. She made our day so fun. They call the wind. If you see this Mariah watch for Brad. Food was good also we have gone to PJ for years when in Destin always good. Shout put to Ed.“

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

“Good customer service. Not a large operation so they get you on the water fast and assist you off/on dock.“

“Food: This place has great food. They have daily lunch specials at a very reasonable price that includes a meat, bread and 2 sides. I typically get blackened chicken, and my wife gets the meatloaf. Both are amazing. The sides are delicious as well. We do Sunday Brunch here as well. Options are amazing, and some come with a Mimosa or Bloody Mary. Mondays are burger night… it gets packed, so plan accordingly.
Bar: The bar makes the place special. They have a great selection high end whiskeys and other spirits, as well as a great selection of the common ones. The bartenders are all well trained to make any expert level cocktail. The smoked old fashioned is on point. They also have the famous wall of beer, offering lots of local selections and unique brews from all over.
Overall we love the Craft Bar experience!“

“We loved our dining experience! It was fun, casual, beautiful and quick! Everything was delicious! This Texas family will be back!“
