“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!“

“The food is consistently good. The salad bar,(my favorite) is kept clean and well-stocked. Our server was a delight. I went with church folks that seem to go there often.“

“Twisted Grape is a nice spot with good service and a wide selection on their menu. While nothing really stood out during our visit, I have to say their mac and cheese was very good and definitely worth a try.

Overall, it’s a solid place to visit, and I’d come back again, but it didn’t leave a lasting impression. If you’re in the area, it’s worth checking out, but don’t expect anything too extraordinary.“

“Stephanie is very personable and has great humor! Very professional! Awesome server!“

“This place is Amazing! Live music, super friendly and kind staff, { I would tell you how kind my waitress was, but I wouldnt want anyone to try to take advantage of her) I regret that I didnt have proper tip money, but i will make it up to her. There is a beach, cornhole, i think horseshoes, it is child and dog friendly. They even brought ny Stanley his own bouwl. Next review will have photos, Go there as soon as you can. You wont be dissapointed,“

The food brought back favorite childhood memories of mom’s/grandmother’s cooking when mealtimes were a time to gather and chat with each other. It was so good, we went back again!!! Thanks everyone for great memories and fantastic meals!!!“

“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 !!

“My mom and I went into the WH Shalimar on Saturday(8/10). It’s our favorite, but that team was absolutely AMAZING! They were helpful, polite, and working together. So……WH Shalimar, FL keep doing what you’re doing, it’s working.“

“Came in on a Wednesday evening, sat quickly, a few group parties going on. Ashlyn waited on us and she did a fantastic job making sure we had everything we needed, and was knowledgeable about all of the menu items. She brought our drinks and fresh bread, while we looked over the menu. The speciality mango margarita was spot on, and Ashlyn shook and even poured it for me! The draft beer was frosty cold! The Caesar salad was fresh, and the French onion soup was delish! Atmosphere was casual & relaxed, and clean. Steak was juicy and cooked as ordered. If you want to have a family meal, or going out for date night, or a special occasion you should definitely dine at Longhorn! Came in again on a Sunday evening and sat at a different booth, and had a different server. And…the Food was great! Had a cup of French onion soup this time, but not as good as the bowl!

Vegetarian options: Some options good salad! 🥗

Parking: Plenty of parking behind the building.

Kid-friendliness: Nice kid menu and choice of seating booths or tables“

I like that. all in all a good outing for me and mine. The real deal sealer was the wife ate all her boneless wings so that's a winner winner chicken meat dinner right there!!!“

“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!“

“My husband and I come to FWB often and stay here at the Holiday Inn or Hilton next door (depending on points, price, availability, etc); however, we ALWAYS eat at Riptides in Holiday Inn.

This past week, we enjoyed some takeout so we could eat outside. Terry was our server. She was very helpful, cheerful and accomodating. We came in the afternoon when it was a little slower so Terry and Toya both chatted with us while we waited. Very friendly! We also MUST give a shout out to Joe in the bar. Though we didn't go to the bar this week, we often do and Joe is great! He's been there a long time and he remembers us when we visit throughout the year. That truly makes us feel so welcomed. In all, the entire staff has always made us feel welcomed and appreciated.

As for the food items, we've enjoyed all the different items we have tried. My favorites are the sweet potato tater tots, margherita flatbred (with balsalmic), and the spinach artichoke dip. Husband faves is the seafood basket. He has had it fried and grilled and does feel the grilled is better (if you are trying to decide). Runner-up items would be the cuban sandwich and the killer club. Again, we haven't had anything bad, but those are my go-to's :)

I've actually never tried their burgers so not sure there and only have had the breakfast once. It is your general buffet with a few hot items and a selection of breads, yogurt, cereal, etc etc etc.

I also want to comment on another review I read about the sticky floors. That is pretty common in that area I believe as the salt water is constantly getting tracked in and it will dry and can leave a sticky residue. Just my two cents :)“

“in there about 50 times since they've been open and I have never had one problem. Correction yes they mistakenly brought me a double order of wings once and did not charge me and as a former restaurant owner of over 28 years I know what to look for. Quality service and cleanliness was acceptable.They exceeded my expectations.“

“I love this place as breakfast and lunch also.“

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

“Culver’s hooked our pup up! She’s in pup cup heaven.“

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

“the best place on the planet for food, atmosphere and a drink with friends. definitely recommend and would love to return one day!“

“The team work is excellent Charmaine working drive thru did an great job ! The food quality was good and made jn a reasonable time 10/10 service highly recommended..“

“our server Danielle was amazing....“
