“When I got recycled during this phase, the Ranger instructors sometimes took us here. After that, we often watched movies at the auditorium. It felt like it would last forever, but I made it through. One of my peers complained that his urine had turned green, and I assumed it was because he drank too many energy drinks here.”

“Matt did a great job, he was the only one working the grill and the register and he was fast, attentive, and very polite. The food was great and the service was better. Thank you Matt”

“Friendly and professional service with GREAT food and prices. Their daily specials are excellent and the Thursday smoked barbecue ribs with Mac 'n cheese, slaw, and a slice of garlic bread is one for the books.”

“Whenever I’ve stopped by this Starbucks, either Isabelle or Yani have been the baristas and they’re always kind and warm. No request is too big for them. They’re the epitome of great customer service ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

“Caribou Coffee was surprisingly good. I ordered an Iced White Chocolate Raspberry Mocha and it was the perfect blend of sweet and savory, the coffee flavor came through nicely without being overpowering. The staff were friendly as well and the prices weren’t terrible (for an airport). Nice find in the Destin Airport (VPS).”

“We went through the drive-thru and the gentleman that helped me, was so kind. He was so friendly, and making sure he got my order correct. I enjoyed the customer service he put out there. He is friendly, nice, and very thorough.Although, my burger was wrong at least my kids food were right. LOL !”

“This is a convenience store, souvenir shop, take-and-go food place combined in one. I didn't take a full picture for people's privacy. Along with the Dunkin' and Doolittles Cantina, there's no eat-in place in concourse C unlike Emerald restaurant in Concourse A if that's your thing. This place does sell cans of beer, soda, chips, etc in the store.”

“This place is good, good portions, and for the sheer amount of orders they handle, very efficient.I don’t know what people expect when they leave such poor reviews. As one of the only lunch spots on this side of base it gets super busy, so yes, the wait is long, but for the amount of orders they’re taking it’s reasonable. The food is good. They only have one oven, so you can expect things to take a while when everybody gets their sandwich toasted. Especially when one person starts ordering for a whole office.As for the comments about rudeness, I haven’t experienced that at all. They don’t have time for chitchat, so they tend to be straight to the point. If you don’t know what you want before ordering, that’s on you.Yes, you’ll wait, but that’s not their fault. Build in extra time and there’s no problems here.”

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

“We visited Fort Walton for the first time and I had already planned to visit this restaurant. I was so excited because of what I saw on the internet. It absolutely did not disappoint. We enjoyed the nachos & mixed drinks. The scavenger hunt was so much fun with my husband and 3 year old and the alligator show was so educational. We will definitely go back!! Oh, and we met “Henry” the 1 year old baby gator that we took a photo with!”

“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.”

“Great pizza! Best in Destin!”

“My family and I LOVED Stewby’s! Definitely our favorite restaurant so far on our vacation! My husband got shrimp, I got the fried grouper, and our three kids all got the chicken fingers. Everything was amazing! Best fries anywhere! Also amazing desserts - banana pudding and key lime pie are delicious!! Amazing service from Audrey and the entire team! Highly recommend! 🫶🏽🤍”

“Lots of fun and great food and beer. Try the stout!”

“We visited the area for the first time in nearly two years last week. We were so happy to see Nicole still behind the bar! Not only did she recognize us out-of-towners, but even remembered all our names! Drinks are great, food is always stellar, and atmosphere is perfect. Can’t wait to come back, hopefully much sooner than later!”

“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!”

“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!”

“Thank you so much for opening this. I have been dying for a donut shop around here that serves kolaches. My husband came to see you this last Sunday and got there around noon and y’all still had kolaches and glazed donuts and they were SO good and reminded us of Texas donut shops. We will be back this weekend!”

“It was the end of year Food truck Friday in downtown Crestview when I first tried their awesome food. Having to live the GF life I was beyond excited to try their food and was not disappointed. Their loaded Yuca Fries are amazing! It is difficult at best to find restaurants and food trucks who deliver on the quality and flavor for GF meals. *chef’s kiss* I hope to see this fantastic food truck in Crestview regularly! #greatfood #glutenfree #plantbasedfood ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

“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.”
