“chicken strips are really crispy and hot“

“Very good and very clean eating“

“Great place, great atmosphere. Busy at times though. I went there with my son & husband while we were on vacation and we waited quite a while for the food but they have a great staff. A young miss came and she was so sweet and professional, she reassured me that the food would be out soon and she was so concerned. She came and served the food. I asked her what her name was I think she said, Christal. When we got the food it was great so overall I would recommend this place.“

“We love this place. The food is exceptional. The owner goes the extra mile every time. My husband is a quadriplegic and the owner goes out of his way to accommodate us. We were just there for a good meal. After we ate, I wanted to buy a side of corn salad and a bottle of our favorite Q sauce. He ended up stopping what he was doing to help my husband and me to our van. We hugged and cried. He appreciated the way I dealt with my husband. The food is always AWESOME!!! But the service is always with love and compassion.“

“I would like to express my sincere thanks to Oshea for the excellent service during my visit. I ordered an Acai Bowl, and Oshea made sure everything was perfect. She was smiling, polite, and very professional – she made my visit even more enjoyable. The Acai Bowl was delicious, and the presentation was top-notch. I highly recommend this place, and Oshea deserves special recognition!“

“As a local pizza connoisseur, Pizza by the Sea is the best thin crust pizza on the Emerald Coast. Even though they stay busy with to-go orders, we never have to wait long for piping hot pizza right out of the oven. Love love love this place for my pizza fix. At Pizza by the Sea, they don’t hire cooks, they hire artists.“

“Yesterday was my first time trying Chick-fil-A, and I was eager to see what the hype was about. Visiting from Canada, we don’t have many locations up north, so I was excited to experience it firsthand. We went to the Destin Miramar location, and not only was the food beyond my expectations, but the service was absolutely outstanding.

Jakob, the employee at the cash register, went above and beyond to make my first visit special. From the moment we walked in, he was incredibly welcoming and eager to ensure we had a great experience. He offered several fantastic recommendations, all of which we decided to try and were thoroughly impressed by. His knowledge of the menu was great, and his enthusiasm was awesome. Jakob’s friendly and personable attitude made a lasting impression, and it's rare to encounter such genuine customer service.

It’s clear that Jakob takes great pride in his work, and it truly made my visit memorable. I’ll definitely remember my first Chick-fil-A experience, and I can’t wait to return. The combination of great food and outstanding service from employees like Jakob is exactly why Chick-fil-A has such a loyal following. Looking forward to coming back soon!“

“Great food and view. Pricey though.“

“The scoops are delicious and side choices are amazing. You can’t go wrong no matter what you choose“

“Fun place for kids (if your kids want to wain about 1-1 1/2 hours) good food. The kids meals come with a bucket and shovel. We waited outside and the adults can have a drink while they wait because there is a bar. Good walking distance from Destiny By The Sea. On the way back we caught sand crabs on the beach. (we walked back on the beach) I have also been to the one in Pensacola Florida and it deserves the same amount of stars.

Parking: Small parking lot

Kid-friendliness: Good for kids“

“This place is a gem on 30A & I always love coming and getting buffalo wings with lemon pepper sprinkled on them. They are always piping hot and served with delicious crinkle fries and a smile. Support this amazing veteran-owned local restaurant!!“

“I tried this place yesterday. Food was excellent and I highly recommend. I will be eating here when in the area“

“Calamari and shrimp were great. Tamar was amazing!!“

“Solid Second Visit – Great Service, Good Food, Price a Bit High

This was our second time visiting, and while our first experience was great with no complaints, we returned on July 30, 2025, and had another mostly positive visit.

We were seated and served by a waitress named “T,” who was very polite and attentive. Despite the restaurant being fairly busy, she took our order quickly and checked in often to make sure we had everything we needed. Excellent service all around.

We started with the spinach artichoke dip served with flatbread, which was delicious and didn’t last long at our table. For our entrées, I ordered the grilled chicken Alfredo with broccoli—very flavorful and well-prepared. My wife had the chicken tortellini Alfredo and said it was good, but she didn’t really care for the chicken. Our daughter went with the shrimp Alfredo and enjoyed it.

The total bill came to around $100 for the three of us, which I feel is a little steep for what we got. Don’t get me wrong—the food and service were good—but the pricing is a bit off-putting and may give us pause next time.

All in all, a solid experience with great service and good food, just wish the value matched the price a little more closely.“

“Was worth the drive , will definitely come back . Knew about it cause I use to live in that area. The service was super and very attentive . Our visit was around lunch time during the week . Small and humble deco , felt like home The food was super , tasted mullet and gator tail , fried squash , baked beans . Everything was hot excellent taste . I highly recommend it’s great food .So full , no room for the cakes they had fresh . Maybe save room for dessert next time . I am a local in the area just a few miles down the road . Glad I visited an old road side restaurant!!“

“This is our favorite pizza place in town! They use real cheese, are generous with meats and the crust is fabulous. As a side note, Ashley wrote "Handsome Grandpa" on our to go box my husband asked for and he has been totally unmanageable ever since. Thank you, sweet Ashley!“

“We took a flight from Des Moines, Iowa to Destin, FL. We just landed. We were starving. The time was 9:58. As we pull in you could tell they were closing up shop and our heart dropped. The lights weren’t shut off yet so there was still a chance!! They ended up taking our order when they clearly didn’t need to… you folks at Chik-Fil-A made our night and gave us a wonderful start to our vacation! You clearly went above and beyond!“

“We ate lunch here today and everyone working treated us like we left a $100 tip. I was amazed at how nice everyone was! Thank you!“

“I am a frequent customer and normally everything is good. I place a nice size order tonight for Me and the grandkids. I should have checked the order before I left but they were rushing me through the drive thru and they assured me that everything was in the bags. However it was not. I paid extra for a side salad and NO SALAD. Called and talked to the manager and she said can you come back. No not with 3 little grandkids and 30 Minutes away. And of course she could not find my order even though I gave her my order number. Next time I will stay at the drive thru until I check everything in the bags“

“The street corn is back for limited time. It’s so delicious!“

“Aubrey gave me the absolute best service I’ve ever received from a fast food establishment. He improved the quality of my day along with making me want to come back simply for the service that was provided. This zaxbys is absolutely killing the game. 5 stars!!!“

“Our Drive Thru experience was hands down the best so far at Panera. Our drive thru was hands down the best. She was very polite and patient despite our big order. She read back the whole thing which was very different coming from panera. Overall great experience and great quality food!!!“
