“After hearing so many great things about this place, I finally made it out here to try it for myself. The atmosphere was beautiful and elegant. Brandon our server was amazing. The way Brandon described the specials and the menu items, he made it sound like it was going to be the best meal of my life. The food was spectacular so HUGE kudos to the chef. You are doing everything perfect. Atmosphere is 10 out of 10, service is a 100 out of 10 and the food was a 10 out of 10. I will definitely be back and thank you for the amazing dining experience.“

“We visited Fort Walton for the first time and I had already planned to visit this restaurant. I was so excited because of what I saw on the internet. It absolutely did not disappoint. We enjoyed the nachos & mixed drinks. The scavenger hunt was so much fun with my husband and 3 year old and the alligator show was so educational. We will definitely go back!! Oh, and we met “Henry” the 1 year old baby gator that we took a photo with!“

“The food was insane. I ordered the Philly with crazy fries. The sandwich was loaded with tender, flavorful steak and the sauce was perfect. The fries were crispy with the right amount of seasoning, bacon, and drizzle — literally addictive. Portion size was great and everything tasted fresh. Definitely worth it, I’d get this again in a heartbeat. 10/10!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“It's not the prettiest place but the best biscuits in town by far! I go here for the veggies too! Easy, in and out, food to go or you can dine in though it's a lot of our construction crews here eating on the way to work, at break or for their lunch.

Vegetarian options: Limited.

Parking: Limited, in front and on the right side. This cafe is in an older gas station strip mall.“

They have not disappointed since! I live 5 minutes away and it has become my local go to for Breakfast/Brunch/Lunch and Dinner. There is nothing there I have had that isn't delicious. Their private wine dinners and parties are amazing... from the Mob Party to the Retro Party! I am already planning my costume for this year's retro party on 10/27/24... can't wait! The staff there is wonderful!“

“Our experience at FatBoys was outstanding! Madden, our server, quickly fixed the flickering lights, which was a huge relief for our autistic son. The hostess and team (Camille, Emma, Pam, and Emilee) were incredibly kind and attentive. The food was fantastic—we loved the steak and cheese eggrolls, the perfectly cooked bacon burger, and our son enjoyed the lumberjack burger. Everything was hot and delicious. Highly recommend!“
