“Mother Earth's cafe is an absolute gem! From the retro ambiance to the friendly service, everything about this place feels welcoming. I ordered the Philly cheese steak omelet, and it was perfect with fluffy pancakes, flavorful hash browns , and eggs cooked just right. Their coffee was rich, and the refills were constant. Portions were generous, the food was fresh, and the prices were fair. I’ll definitely be back at this Cafe. It is a must visit!“

“To whom it may concern, my name is Mr Woodbury. I on 12/14/24 had lunch at the Ft Walton Beach establishment. My server was a young man by the name Ethan. The most professional and attentive server I have ever had while dinning at Ft Walton Beach Sonny's. After taking my wife and I order Ethan not once would pass by our booth without checking in on how we where doing.
I've traveled around the world as a Marine and eaten at a many of restaurants. Ethan along with outstanding food and service truly gave us the greatest of experiences.
Thank you Sonny's and thank you Ethan !!

“It was a busy night tonight things were taking a bit to come out but we had a server who thankfully was good at his job. We caught his name, it was Sawyer, there had been an issue with the food not being delivered on time. We were assured of it being worked on and received generous service. He is a good server who cares a lot about his craft. It was a busy looking night, but that didn’t slow him down. He made the instability of our night simmer down some. Thankful to have had him on our side tonight. Hopefully everyone enjoyed him just as much as we did. The food was not the main-star of the show tonight, but service was stellar! Ask for him when you come in, you won’t be disappointed.“
