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.“

“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.“

“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!“

“Absolutely an overlooked restaurant, don’t assume because it’s inside a resort that the food is not as good, it’s owned by fuddpuckers. The burgers are outstanding as well as the fish tacos. Definitely a must, if your staying at the Sandestin resort do not ignore this place.“
