Restaurants in Fort Walton Beach

“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! 🫶🏽🤍”

“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!”

“Food was amazing! Customer service was great!! Very freindly”

“I absolutely love Suras ambience and decor! Our service was amazing and the seafood Risotto was delicious. I will definitely be back.”

“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 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

“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!”

“Aahhhmazzinggg!!!! food smoked brisket tacos… the smoke is there for sure not just a hint… the carnitas tacos had great flavor as well the slaw that came with them was so tasty just enough vinegar to balance the richness of the meats… bonus got a complementary mango paleta… y’all definitely worth it”

“The best breakfast in town! Friendly, fun and fast service makes it worth the stop every-time we are in town!”

“My husband has been going to Main Brew since they were located on Beal Parkway. I had the pleasure of meeting Shelagh and the crew there yesterday (I had previously met Patrick) and they are all extremely friendly and it was very obvious they care about their customers. The Cafe has a very comfortable and welcoming atmosphere not to mention good food and great choices for coffee.”

“Always a great experience at Papi’s Cafe! The food is full of flavor and the staff is always friendly. As a local business, we appreciate places like this that make the community better.”

“My wife and I had dinner here and were impressed with our server. She was very friendly and attentive. She made our experience a very enjoyable time.”

“The staff is so friendly here and the food is AWESOME.”

“The garlic dipping oil is amazing. We took some home and put it on sandwiches and in a crab omelet. We have been talking about it for days. The lasagna is remarkable and the ribeye steak I ordered was enough for three meals. Cooked perfectly medium rare. Friends had the lobster ravioli and shrimp with vodka sauce which was good. Calamari was outstanding, very tender. Our waitress was Lauren L., very professional and pleasant. We will definitely go back there again next year when we visit.”

“Great family owned restaurant. My husband and I stumbled upon this restaurant while driving around looking for a place to eat. We are so glad we did. The food was absolutely delicious and the service was wonderful. Nice options. Daily specials available. We decided to dine in. Such a welcoming vibe. Peaceful music playing. Good portions. Prices more than reasonable. We will definitely dine again. Thanks”

“We thoroughly enjoyed our visit. Carmela was so sweet and on top of her game! The food was awesome!!!”

“Such a cute place, amazing food and service. Definitely one of our favorites!”

“We are visiting the Ft Walton beach area for the first time. Soi Bistro came highly recommended and did not disappoint. Friendly staff and an enjoyable atmosphere. Will definitely go back to try more of their offerings. A must for sure”

“I got the redneck latte! It was so good!! I definitely recommend. The girl working was so sweet. She was having some trouble with her grinder and she still made my coffee without missing a beat!!!”

“10/10 There is a reason there is a line at the door 20 minutes before this place opens the doors on a Tuesday! Amazing food and service. 🍍”

“We were there a month ago on vacation, this place has the best burritos I’ve ever eaten and they are huge you definitely get your moneys worth from here, and the people who run this place are really cool and very friendly we will be back on our next vacation.”

“My DoorDash delivery driver missed our entire pizza order and only delivered my family a salad. Whether it was negligence on the drivers part, the fact that he misunderstood their request to wait or otherwise, Clemenza’s gave us a second pizza just for the inconvenience of having to pick up our own delivery. This issue was no fault of theirs however they immediately prioritized my family and our experience with their restaurant, food, and service. The food was delicious but their attentiveness to this experience was outstanding.”

“The absolute best staff! They took very good care of us. Neat atmosphere, food was good!”

“Great owner, bartenders, and business”

“I love this place! First Korean restaurant I ever ate at (back in 2003ish), and been going back ever since. I liked a Korean restaurant in Germany too, but no other place I've tried (about 20 others) has compared. The owner always remembers me, my family, and my friends. We don't even need a menu, she knows what food and drinks we want and lets us know if there's something special to try that day, like the seaweed soup.”

“We had the raw oysters, mussels, the house salad was so good. My father had the pineapple shrimp, my friend had the seafood medley and I had the steamed lobster tails with potatoes and asparagus. Everything was fantastic, cooked to perfection and just so yummy. The staff was super, friendly and fun! Will definitely go back!”

“Bangkok Bistro is my favorite place in town. Good staff and great food. you won't be disappointed.”

“The best tacos in Fort Walton Beach! I highly recommend visiting this place.”

“This is an amazing place to eat y'all. Employee's seem to love their job and very friendly. The cooks gotta be putting love into that BBQ!!! I'll always come back to get my BBQ here y'all 😜”

“This place should have 10 stars solid! Even on their worst day the food is amazing and the staff is friendly as all get out! Even when they are so packed in there, they are sweet and patient. There is a reason why people wait to get into this place. I’m proud to call it my favorite happy place in FWB!”

“Always friendly and always delicious! Our whole family loves going to Sakura! ❤️😊”

“We enjoyed visiting and drinking a cold brew at Props! The atmosphere was laidback, fun, clean with a great beer 🍻 selection! My favorite is the Blueberry and I was happy to enjoy a pumpkin beer as well! A flight is also available if you want to try out their beers! Kyle served us and was friendly and knowledgeable about the beers! We saw a few people come with their dogs, and the Props cats are a nice addition!”

“Aaron and Sue at this location are AMAZING. I work across the street and my boss and I split the soup and salad meal a few times a week. We look forward to it every day each time that I walk in there those two specifically have been so incredibly kind, accommodating, and fun to interact with I’ve been a server for multiple years, and people like that truly make Your experience. If there was an option for 100 stars, I would’ve selected that or both of those amazing team members. Service like that deserves to be recognized and I have no Following up until that happens!

Thank you OG team!!!”

“If you’re anywhere near the pier, run — don’t walk — to Anglers Beachside Grill. My son and I stopped in and had one of the best dining experiences we’ve had in a long time. The food was incredible, the atmosphere was fun and lively, and the service… top-tier.

A huge shoutout to Salvador and Jodi, who absolutely went above and beyond for us. They made us feel like family from the moment we sat down. We bonded instantly over football trash talk — I’m an Ohio State fan, while Salvador proudly represents that team up north (and yet, we still got along 🤣). Their personalities, attention to detail, and genuine kindness were the highlight of our visit.

As for the food — wow. My son ordered a burger that he said was the best he’s ever had, served with french fries that were golden, crisp, and perfect. I ordered the chicken breasts with Cajun cream sauce, succotash, and hush puppies that deserve their own moment of appreciation. Easily the best hush puppies I have ever had in my life. Light, crispy, flavorful — I could have taken home a bucket.

The restaurant sits right on the pier, with a relaxed, beachy vibe that makes you want to stay awhile. Between the incredible service, amazing food, and unbeatable location, this place is an absolute win.

We’ll definitely be back — even if Salvador continues rooting for the wrong team 😉
Highly recommend! 🌟”

“Los tacos de carne mmm ricos”

“I’ve been there a couple of times. The food and service is good. I think they’re very close to being awesome. My only complaint for the Shrimp and Grits is the shrimp are obviously frozen farmed, and small. The grits and biscuits are very good and well seasoned, they need bigger, fresher shrimp to make it a high quality dish. Definitely a popular place and I need to try some other meals.”

“Best we've had in the FWB area. Havee not been disappointed with Jin Jin yet unlike most restaurants around here.”

“Song Han and Jade run an incredible restaurant with fantastic food and a better experience! This is the best hibachi in my he area, hands down. 10/10 recommend!”

“food was plentiful and good.”

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐”

“Best burgers and fries ❤️ 🍔🍟”

“The staff is always so sweet and attentive at this location. Food is consistently yummy. Nice way to enjoy some good breakfast!!!”

“First time burgers are gggoooooooddd”

“The food lives up to the hype! Huge sandwich served fresh and tasty. The customer service was on point and the facilities were stocked and clean. The fries were meh but for fast food this is definitely a good experience.”

“We had an absolute blast! The food was awesome! Great portions, great taste, even better waiter!!”

“the best taco salad In fwb!! I get the dressing on the side, as a personal preference, but very flavorful with a homemade shell. 5 ⭐️”

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ If you’re craving authentic German food, this place is a gem! From the moment we walked in, the service was warm, attentive, and welcoming. The menu is packed with traditional favorites—everything tasted fresh, hearty, and true to its roots. The schnitzel was perfectly crisp, the sausages were full of flavor, and the sides (especially the spatzle and potato salad) tasted just like something you’d find in Germany. And the beer selection? Outstanding—ice cold, authentic, and the perfect pairing for the meal. Where else can you dance the chicken dance in Florida? It’s rare to find a spot that nails both the food and the atmosphere, but this restaurant does exactly that. Fun music on Friday and Saturday nights. Highly recommend for anyone who wants a genuine German dining experience with top-notch service. Thanks Luci! Prost! 🍻”

“Best Mexican restaurant in FWB imo. Truly authentic! Do not let the outside fool you - the inside is very nice and stylish. Food is amazing and not too salty. Service is great as well. I love their homemade chips - some of the best that I have ever had - light and not greasy. Salsa is just right as well. This restaurant puts all of the others to shame!”

“best place in fort walton to get some good pho, excellent service and place looks great inside and outside !”

“Gluten-free French toast, hooray! Delicious food, plenty of options, kind service!”

“Thank you Lisa, cake was awesome as usual. Made my birthday a success :)”

“New owners and the food is great! The server was very good. I ate there 2 times this week.”

“So impressed with this place. My quiche was so fluffy and delicious. My fiance loved his meatloaf. And the desserts…. Took home quite a selection for my family but the blueberry cheesecake was seriously amazing. Can’t wait to visit again and try more!”

“Crunchy salmon skin hand roll so freaking good ? oh my God lol finally”

“I went for the 1st time it was all around great Staff was super nice and the food was also amazing will definitely be coming back !!!!”

“The food was great and the service was awesome, it was my birthday n our waitress was so sweet she even put a candle on my birthday pie that I had to get to go because I was to full to eat it there, they made my day feel special”

“Best pizza we’ve had in Fort Walton Beach! Enjoyed Music Bingo night on the patio as well! Highly recommend!”

“I highly recommend Just Think Cake! Y’all made my daughter’s wedding cake this past weekend. It was beautiful, just what she wanted, and it tasted amazing! Thank you so much for helping make her day amazing!”

“The food Is amazing!!! Great experience!!! Super friendly people!”

“Jack, Braydon and Aiden rocked out the pizza. Thin crust and great toppings!”

“I’ve been going to Radbar for 5 years. Everyone is kind, and the conversations with the girls are always fun to have! Theme and Contest nights are the most fun you can have on any weekend, and Radbar does it right! The drink selection is A+ with IPAs and Coolers for adults and sodas and waters for underage gamers. Keeping it open for everyone till 9pm gives the younger people a chance to experience old school arcades, but of course after 9, it’s a nice relaxing getaway for gamers! 10/10 will keep my business every time!”

“Hidden gem in Fort Walton Beach!! NO MSG added!! Much healthier than other Thai restaurants locally. Food seems from scratch, you can taste the different flavors of veges, because the food isn't hiding behind an excess of sugary sauce. The owner is awesome, as well as the chef...super friendly. The veges are not over cooked, retaining a slight crispness. We chose this restaurant tonight because of another review they received from an insurance inspection. The inspector was so impressed with how clean they are, after doing an inspection, that he chose to eat dinner there and was happy enough to leave a great review! Large servings...we left with leftovers. The steamed dumplings were sooo good!! Going back this week with a friend. It is so great to see a restaurant care about their food being real!! Our new favorite!!! Can't give them a high enough rating!!”

“I love bbq and have been wanting to try this place out. Today, I finally got a chance since due to the snow, they’re the only place open AND offering delivery. 🙏🏼 the lady who took my order was super polite and helpful. The gentleman who delivered our order was patient with me even though it’s freezing outside, he was also very nice and arrived in a timely manner. And our food is delicious!! Will definitely order again! Thank you guys for not letting the snow stop you from making happy customers! You made a pregnant woman VERY happy today. 🥹”

“I adore this boutique/coffee shop so much, along with the sweet workers!!! They have the cutest things here, and the best coffee!! I came here multiple times during my trip and felt so welcomed! I bought the cutest outfits too! I highly recommend coming here and I will be back! They also have a gorgeous beach view!”

“Husband and I randomly had a little date night here.. I absolutely loved the vibe.. the staff was great , food was great. I will absolutely go back. Plus I love that on Sundays the offer meals for those in need , those that are hungry, really anyone. Spread the word to the local community that is in need !!”

“Went there for the Spirit of 1989 show. It was good show in a decent venue. It was extremely hot in there and felt like the heat was blowing on me, but it was cool outside so was able to go out between bands. They had the game playing outside so I could check the score in between bands. There is some actual seats inside and outside the venue, having a bad back, I am unable to stand long periods of time. The bands were good, it was a good time. I would definitely go back for a show there again.”

“Delicious food & beautiful back patio!”

“Amazing food and great customer service”

“We have been here at least once a week for the last month! Delicious food and friendly staff.”

“We visited last summer, and stumbled on it by chance. We had a great time and ended up visiting multiple times during our vacay. Before we left the bartender knew my drink order! Friday nights get busy due to the military crowd, but we were there during peak season and had the best time. Cold drinks, not over priced, and not a tourist trap. We love the duck”

“Consistently good service and great food. I’m a picky eater and they always always cook my food the way I like it. Prices are right on par for the area. I love this place.”

“Amazing Tex mex . Definitely worth it ! Pineapple salsa is to die for !”

“Great tacos and other food!!🔥🔥”

“Great food! Never disappointed! Wonderful service. Our favorite!”

“The IPA beer was excellent crisp and flavorful. Unfortunately, the food didn’t live up to the same standard. The meatloaf tasted like a frozen dinner, lacking freshness and flavor. Also, be aware that the Happy Hour food menu isn’t offered upfront; you’ll need to specifically ask for it, as the staff won’t mention it on their own”

“Absolutely fantastic food. We have had a number of items off their menu and everyone of them has been absolutely fantastic! I highly recommend stopping in and treating yourself.”

“Great food, great atmosphere and great owners! Definitely hit this place up for some good Thai food! Mrs. Uma will take care of you 🔥”

“My son loves bread pudding, so I wanted to have that as one of the desserts at his rehearsal dinner. I am not from this area, so it took a bit of research but I had seen someone post that Julie’s had a delicious bread pudding. I contacted Julie and she was so sweet and even offered to make a bread pudding for my son and I to try! We tasted it and, of course, it was delicious!! We placed our order and we were not disappointed!! I had several people tell me at the rehearsal dinner that it was the best bread pudding they had ever tasted!! My son loved it too! Thank you so much, Julie!!”

“Nothing like good BBQ at 10:00 am. Had ribs and chicken. Great Smokey flavor. No sauce needed.”

“the nest food truck around. the biscuit and gravy is my favorite but the burgers and everything else is just as amazing 👏 🤩”

“I had an incredible experience here. Maria was so kind and informative. I ordered a barbacoa taco and a beef Gordita. Both were delicious. The barbacoa transported me somewhere… I got another to go. The Gordita, it comes with potato. Perhaps if you aren’t used to this it takes a few bites to adjust, but I say take this as the unique and lovely food it is! I have already invited some friends to come with me again. Do give it a try! It tastes real, it tastes like home and love.”

“Great staff and the food is amazing. we love taking the grandkids there! thanks Lost Pizza”

“Me encanta todo de este lugar!!!”

“What is there to say about God’s chicken? The breakfast burrito was delicious, even though they forgot to give me salsa, which someone will say at confession was their fault, the chicken nuggets are always delicious and hashbrowns were perfectly fried. I enjoyed everything, plus their service is always great.”

“Sabrina T. was our waitress. She was an excellent server.”

“The garlic dipping oil is amazing. We took some home and put it on sandwiches and in a crab omelet. We have been talking about it for days. The lasagna is remarkable and the ribeye steak I ordered was enough for three meals. Cooked perfectly medium rare. Friends had the lobster ravioli and shrimp with vodka sauce which was good.

“I had the chicken shesh kebab plate. It was absolutely delicious and tender. The sides were all delicious and gave a balance of fresh flavors to enjoy with the chicken shesh kebab! I highly recommend this place for their friendly service and deliciously fresh food. I look forward to enjoying more meals at this restaurant.”

“We had a very good experience at this IHOP this morning. The food was served fresh, hot and just like we ordered. The manager, Lynn made sure our food was served just right. She was polite, friendly, and upbeat. She made our visit an enjoyable one!”

I always leave with a smile on my face.”
