“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 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

“Wondah never misses. The coffee is always top-tier, the atmosphere is chill and welcoming, and the staff genuinely cares about what they’re making. You can tell they put effort into quality and consistency, not just rushing drinks out. It’s the kind of place you want to hang out, study, or just start your day right. Easily one of my go-to spots, and I highly recommend.”

“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!”

“I think this was the best ice cream I've ever had. I sampled 2 and ordered 2 scoops of brown butter bourbon truffle ($8.08). Only a few inside tables but plenty for an evening in December. I noticed the candy/fudge options bur didn't purchase on this trip. 10/10 recommend!”

“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”

“We had the sampler with Mac and cheese and baked beans. It was so good!! The employees were so sweet, personable and made us feel welcome. I HIGHLY recommend papa’s smokehouse.”

“Went to Fish-On in Destin today and had an awesome experience. The manager and chef both came out and introduced themselves, which you don’t see much anymore. We learned they’re one of only three restaurants in Destin serving locally caught seafood that’s truly fresh — never frozen — and you can taste the difference. The chef has been on Hell’s Kitchen twice, and you can tell he takes real pride in what he puts on the plate. Everything we ordered was excellent, and the prices were surprisingly fair for the quality you’re getting. If you’re in Destin and want something legit, this place is a hidden gem. Highly recommend.”

“The best breakfast in town! Friendly, fun and fast service makes it worth the stop every-time we are in town!”

“We had an absolute blast! The food was awesome! Great portions, great taste, even better waiter!!”

“Always a great experience at Papi’s Cafe! The food is full of flavor and the staff is always friendly. As a local business, we appreciate places like this that make the community better.”

“Loved everything about this quaint Italian cafe. Coffee, sandwiches, crepes and frittatas are absolutely delicious. Also loved getting to know Marco, who owns the Cafe. 10/10”

“My husband had raw oysters and said they were some of the best he ever had. He then got the blackened grouper with an amazing sauce. I had the chicken alfredo and it was delicious! We had a great server, TJ!”

“First time coming here and it won’t be my last. I ordered Birria, Chicken, Barbacoa, and Al Pastor tacos. 🌮 All of them were delicious however the Pastor and Chicken are off the hook! Check em out!”

“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 stayed in Destin for a week and stumbled upon this place. It’s a little rough from the outside - looks like it’s in a mobile home trailer - but don’t let that fool you. The food and service were both excellent. My daughter insisted we come back and eat at Thai Smile our last night in town. We are vegetarians and they were very polite, informative and accommodating, and remembered us when we came back. Highly recommend.”
