50 Best Vegetarian Restaurants near Mary Esther

“You get your bang for your buck at this place!! It's easy to miss, but you do not want to miss out on this so be on the look out. Highly recommend the fresh rolls as an appetizer and the chow menu“

“Hell yeah I recommend them. I am here on business with a client and when I travel, like to sample local hole in the wall places. So I come in JCs and they serve their seafood cooked in a bag. They throw all kinda of seafood as well as corn potatoes and sausage. I had a half pound bad each of corn and sausage with egg as and rice and for those of you who know me and know I eat, this more than filled me. Be sure you come in wearing trashy clothes as they also throw various sauces in to the bag and steam and cook it. They give you a bib and wipes and you WILL need them Also, I was waited on by Jaime who gave awesome service. I hadn’t eaten at this type of restaurant before and she won’t make you feel like a goober for asking questions. Very courteous and professional. I am likely to be coming to Mary Esther each spring for several years to come. You can bet your sweet bippy I will be coming back when I do! It sounds like it’s a western panhandle chain but you would do wonders coming to DUUUVALLL!“

“The Area Vice President cooked my cheeseburger herself. It was great.“

“The Gulf is one of my favorite places. The staff is always friendly and it’s the perfect place to grab a bite and relax with family and friends or read and study solo. Yesterday was a bit chilly so Olivia and her teammate lit the fire pit for us. We were able to eat and enjoy the views while staying warm. Thanks again Olivia and staff. 🫶🔥🔥“

“Great place for breakfast! Great friendly staff. Food came out fast even though it was crazy busy! We will definitely be back when we are here next!“

“Yo he ido a muchos restaurantes boricuas en Florida y, sinceramente, Papi’s Café and Grill es el único restaurante puertorriqueño que he probado en toda Florida que sabe 100% auténtico. Todos los demás no se sienten auténticos; tienen algún ingrediente o sabor agregado que los hace sentir como una copia y no como el sabor que amo y con el cual crecí. Yo extraño mucho mi isla, y cuando entro a Papi’s Café and Grill, instantáneamente me siento en casa. Además, tienen el mejor café auténtico y las mejores empanadillas. Lo recomiendo 100%. 🔥🇵🇷“

“I had a friend in town and whenever she comes in town this is her favorite stop! We were celebrating her 60th Bday and Morgan at the racetrack restaurant was AMAZING!“

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

“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“

“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!“

“The best seafood I have ever eaten in my 50 years of life. We came to vacation from Kentucky and The Shack has the best fried geeen tomatoes I’ve ever eaten! Make it a point to eat here when you come to visit the area. A++++ 10⭐️“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 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! 🍻“

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

“delicious food, fast service. had the luau pig, rice n gravy and macaroni salad. and a musubi. the gravy is amazing!! highly recommend“

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

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

“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.“

“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.“

“Excellent greek food in a convenient location and the service is always outstanding! I come back time and again to the gyro sandwich or salad, but everything on the menu is good. Reasonably priced and really special specials. Even the pickiest of eaters find something to love here!“

“Friendly service Fast service“

“Such a great little spot. Very warm and welcoming and honey. Food was served piping hot & was tasty. Owners make everyone feel welcome and special. It’s like going to eat at your aunts house. Definitely worth the stop. Thank You! :)“

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

“To get seated can take a bit but your usually sat at a pretty big table. We come often and ive only had a small order of ribs cooked once that were cooked a bit too long but we always have good food and walk out with full bellies and smiles 😁“

“Delicious food & beautiful back patio!“

“One of our favorite places to eat while in FWB! I love the shrimp quesadilla chipotle style or Baja!! And the margaritas are great!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️“

“My family and I love this place! The food always tastes great, yummy drinks, and friendly service. I can’t get enough of the flank steak salad!!

We tried the location in Destin and were very disappointed. The quality was terrible and the steak on my salad was served so cold it seemed like it was prepared the day prior.

Lesson learned. Now we only go to the location in Ft Walton!!“

“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!“

“Great live music venue, good times!“

“My mom and I stopped in while traveling, and the staff made us feel instantly welcome!!! 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!!!“

“Five stars! Every meal is superb Always“

“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.“

“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!“

“awesome food. try the spicy miso or the chicken lettuce wrap.“

“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.“

“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“

“I like the atmosphere in Thai Town. The food is really good. It came out super quick. The service is fantastic. Very friendly and sweet.

Kind of a hidden gem. I would definitely recommend.

I ordered beef pad thai, and thai style fried shrimp. They were both really good, but I wish there was more protein. Like more beef and more shrimp. Other than that no complaints.“

“Amazing food and customer service! Authentic, legitimate Mexican food! Best Mexican food I’ve had since moving here to Crestview, Florida 3 years ago.“

“Amazing food and amazing customer service!“

“Came here for lunch, on a Thursday afternoon. Sat in a booth on the bar side, which is separate from the dining area. The service was a little slow, but wasn’t in a hurry. If you are on a lunch break from work, maybe if you’re sitting in the dining area, you would be served quickly? The small strawberry 🍓 margarita is big(haha) & refreshing! Guacamole is a bit too chunky, but fresh. The grilled chimichanga was delicious, and so were the tacos. Served with fresh tomatoes,lettuce, sour cream, pico, rice and refried beans.
Came in again, on a Sunday evening, and had the Double Chimichanga (without the pico d’gallo) Sat at a booth, service was good, but 2 for 1 strawberry margaritas($14.99) not as good as the first time we came!“

“Great Food & Service as Always CrestviewOutdoors Staff“

“We had such a great experience tonight! Micheal D was our server, and he was incredible. Laughed, interacted, and treated us so nicely. He took great care of us and the dessert he brought to the table was so good! We definitely will be asking for him again, so thank you Micheal for a great dinner experience.“

“Me encanta todo de este lugar!!!“

“Anglers is a Sunday brunch staple for us on our yearly trip to Fort Walton. Kay took GREAT care of us on our most recent visit. She was attentive, kind, and very personable (so much so that we tried to get her to bail on her shift and come hang out with us but she wouldn’t… bummer!) Either way we love Anglers brunch!! See yall next year!!!“

“We love the hot fresh fried chicken tenders! Beats the frozen, heat lamp warmed stuff you get at most places hands down. The fries are done well and seasoned just right. We really like their Cole slaw side as well. The folks at the window are fast but always friendly and we mean that Sincere-ly!😀. A great place for a quick meal, no wonder the drive thru line gets so long!“

“I love Hungry Howies. They have a large menu and the quality is superb. Im always happy with my order. The consistency is spectacular.“

“You order at the register and then sit and wait. Food is prepared fast. In my opinion the best items are the chicken on a stick and Singapore Mei Fun. The chicken on a stick tastes like a better version of Chik fil A chicken strips. Sometimes I order the chicken on a stick, take it home and put it on a bun with lettuce tomato and pickle. 😊 I also get plain lo mein and add the chicken to my lo mein. Delicious!! I love this place!!“

“The food is excellent. We have eaten several different items on the menu and never had a bad meal. The is a variety of choices, something for everyone. Seafood, steak, pasta, salads, and more. The service is also excellent. Very professional and friendly. You will never be thirsty; they are constantly refilling the water glasses. They have an extensive wine list. Desserts are amazing. Be sure to save room or get one to go.“

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

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