“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!“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.

“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!“

“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.

“Great place to relax after a long work day“

“We just got back from a week stay down by Crystal Beach. We were within walking distance and visited Camille‘s several times, both the daytime Café and nighttime restaurant. What a great find. The sushi was amazing, all the drinks were delicious. We loved chatting with Holly the bartender. She was wonderful. This is definitely a must try if you were in the area.“

“My wife and I had dinner there, Monday evening. She had the shrimp and grits, and I ordered the BBQ ribs. We also ordered fried calamari. Everything was excellent. The ribs came with a side of baked beans, and they were as good as any I’ve ever had. Our server was wonderful…very attentive. She couldn’t have done a better job.“

“if you want to get a cone and a scoop or two you can, but this isn't really the place for that. The milkshakes are much more than milkshakes, they are creations. Some complain that they cost too much, they should just go somewhere else. I thought it was worth it. It's like buying a car. Can a car really be worth $100,000? To the person who's going to buy it can.“
