“I absolutely love Suras ambience and decor! Our service was amazing and the seafood Risotto was delicious. I will definitely be back.”
“We had an absolute blast! The food was awesome! Great portions, great taste, even better waiter!!”
“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”
“We have been watching the page since opening and are so pleased with our selection of the steamed seafood platter for 2. Everything was delicious and perfectly prepared. The platter actually looked just like the pics online! (How often does that happen?) Our server Baylee was very attentive, helpful and prompt. We ended with Tiramisu and left with big smiles! We will be back.”
“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.”
Restaurants by Cuisine
“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.”
“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 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! 🍻”
Restaurants with Delivery
“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!”
“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 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
“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”
“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!”
“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.”
“We thoroughly enjoyed our visit. Carmela was so sweet and on top of her game! The food was awesome!!!”

“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”

“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!”
“Friendly , no waiting , sweet waiter is Tabitha , affordable compared to the tourist area .”
“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 !!”

“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!”
“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!!!”
“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.”
“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.”
“The staff at healthy coast is always so inviting and helpful, this makes such a great experience every time I walk through the door! The choices and options available are all great and I have not had one thing that was not outstanding in flavor! I appreciate all that healthy coast does to help people with clean eating and always having the most friendly staff!!”

“We chose Jake & Henry's for anniversary dinner. We couldn't have been more pleased. The service was 2nd to none & the food was simply awesome. For many years I felt Staff's (when they were in business) served the best filet mignon in town, but then came Jake & Henry's and you nailed it. My filet mignon was incredibly delicious. I ask to have it done medium, and it was perfect. Juicy & pink, very flavorful. Tillie had surf & turf. Equally amazing. Thank you Matt & staff for a marvelous dinner. Les & Tillie Hutchinson”
“I went tonight for a private promotion event and it was phenomenal! Great ambience, staff, food, wines and vibe. Staff was so inviting and helpful. Everything the served was delicious from the Cajun crab cakes, to the steak skewers and mixed berry beignets. It’s my first time going, but I will definitely be back!”
“Outstanding food and service. A great, quaint place with a wide selection of appetizers, entrees, and drinks. I had the grouper special, with an artichoke lemon sauce that was excellent. The fruit tart with vanilla ice cream was an excellent finish.
I will definitely go back next time I am in this area. I highly recommend this place.”
Takeout Restaurants
“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!”

“Food is surprisingly good. Had lentil soup (wonderfully thick bisque), chicken soup (lots of chicken, celery, carrot, parsley) Mr. Natural sandwiches, coffee (a little weak) and natural water (no chlorine flavor or after taste). Mr. Natural sandwich (will be on the menu soon). Wheat bread, romaine, Swiss cheese, avocado, beefsteak tomatoes, and over medium egg (add-on). Large portions, fair prices for fresh ingredients.”
“Awesome food! Love the ‘Cowboy Burger’ We will definitely be back!”
“I had an amazing experience at this bar, thanks to Becca. She was incredibly attentive and made sure to carefully listen to my order, especially after I mentioned I had food allergies. I felt completely at ease knowing she took that seriously. Becca took great care of me and my friends, all while still keeping up with other customers in a very busy summer crowd. It honestly felt like I had my own personal bartender the whole time. Her professionalism, friendliness, and attention to detail made the night stand out. Highly recommend stopping by and asking for Becca!”

“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’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!!”

“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.”
“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!”
“Best place to get close to authentic Korean food. Servers have always been friendly, and attentive. Can't wait to go back for Bi Bim Bop and Kim Bop”
“Drove through on our way home from Coco Beach and decided to stretch our legs here, great market, loved the products! My husband bought "gator plums"?? And fell in love, he has been looking for them since.”

“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”
“Today was my first visit here to grab some food after a morning at the zoo. I got the Barbacoa Burrito with beans, and Oreo Tres Leches cake. The food is one of the best in the area if you want authenticity. The workers were great and very informative for the white guy who doesn't know much about Mexican food. Thanks a million...I will be back with mi familia!”
“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!!”
“The place was packed for the lunch buffet. The price for all all you can eat is very reasonable for what they offer. Everything on the buffet was very good. In my opinion the food was toned down some. Of course I'm at Thai guy so I was raised up eating thai food. They keep the buffet well stocked. I would say definitely worth a try if your in the mood for some Thai food.”
“7Brew never fails to be amazing no matter what state your in and FT.Walton Beach FL is WOW! From the moment we arrived we felt at home. The people who take your order are so freaking awesome and nice and patient. I mean like truly genuine care not the fake kind for tips. These people are amazing and now to the coffee. Whoever is the magical wizard behind the curtain making the drinks…. You are amazing! Not only are you fast you are efficient, you can obviously multitask and you need some credit here because you are ON Point! We visited twice while here March 21st around 8am and March 22nd around 7am so if you were working those shifts THANK YOU!”
“This was our first time and everything was amazing! The food was delicious! We had the wings, empanadas, and hummus for appetizers! We also had the lasagna, a burger, and the GI Jade special pizza! All of the ingredients tasted super fresh! We loved the outdoor seating atmosphere! Our server was CJ and he was a pleasure! So fast and accurate with our orders and so friendly! We loved getting to listen to the live band Paradise Vale as well! 100% recommend!”

“This place is AMAZING! Reminds me of ice cream shops of the old - family owned and operated, Christ centered, family friendly environment. It was very clean, the person that took my order and made my shakes was an absolutely wonderful person. I plan on visiting this place each and erry time I go down to Fort Walton Beach. Any person who has not been there, please I encourage you to not miss out. And the flavors! They had every single flavor you could possibly ask for, all the way down to the whip cream and cherry on top.
She even gave us free W.W.J.D wrist bands!
God bless businesses like this.”

“Hands down the BEST pizza on the Emerald Coast! We come from Freeport to FWB just to eat here. Sebastiano’s is a true gem in Fort Walton Beach. From the moment you walk in, you’re greeted like family and the food?! Absolutely next level. The crust is perfectly crisp with just the right chew, the sauce is rich and flavorful, and the toppings are always fresh and generous. You can taste the love and tradition in every bite. Whether you're a local or just passing through, Sebastiano’s is a must visit. Real New York flavor, right here in Florida!”
“Went for Halloween bar crawl. Atmosphere was great! Cheap generous pour drinks - food truck was on point and DJ Masiio was even better! He mixed pop and techno all night and kept the place jumping. Will follow him!Good spot to hang and the waterfront patio is unmatched in Ft Walton.”
“The Pink Coyote is definitely a dessert cafe worth stopping by if you’re in Fort Walton/Destin! The ice cream flight was a cool and perfect treat for me. I got vanilla, root beer sorbet, salty caramel, cookies n cream, mint chocolate, and a strawberry with chocolate in my ice cream flight. I would want to explore other flavors next time but these were still delightful. The vanilla and salty caramel tasted slightly similar but still definitely worth a try! The pink coyote latte was my favorite! It was a perfect balance of caffeinated and sweet! Parking was a little iffy since more people were coming in but still plenty of spots to pick”
“Only been by one time but so happy I stopped. The drink and beignets I ordered came quick and tasted amazing. I would definitely visit again.
P.S. there is plenty of open space for big groups to come inside but I did not give any notice to how much seating they had.”
“Juneteenth tasting was PHENOMENAL!!! This was my second tasting, she always sells out so if you can get buy early. Thank you so much for sharing your passion!”
“This meal was exactly what I had anticipated. Perfectly smoked meats.. and the cabbage. The house made spicy BBQ sauce was amazing.. I am glad you are right around the corner, I can literally walk to your restaurant. You guys keep up the great work! 10/10 would recommend.”
