“We were lucky enough to meet the owner, Dirk tonight who couldn’t have done more for us. Amazing ribs, mashed potatoes and fillet. The food was the best we’ve had since travelling all over the US over the past 3 weeks.I would definitely recommend this restaurant if you are in the area. First class food and the cocktails are awesome too. Thank you so much from Swansea, wales, Uk“

“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 had such a fun time at Fudpucker’s! My son absolutely loved the gator interactions—it was definitely the highlight of our visit. Everything was exciting and super engaging for kids. The food was great too—everything we ordered was delicious and made the whole experience even better. Emily, the photographer, was amazing! She was so kind, knew exactly what she was doing, and worked quickly while still capturing great moments. We really appreciated how smooth and easy she made everything. Overall, such a memorable and family-friendly place. We’ll definitely be back!“

“A fantastic experience here with an awesome server too!! The food is obviously made with love 💕 If you’re wanting a unique experience definitely check them out!! That key lime pie is a Must too!! 🍋‍🟩“

“I can't say enough great things about Commelfo. From the first time I went there a few years ago with friends I was enamored with the food, cocktails and atmosphere. 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!“

“Absolutely delicious food and service! Highly recommend“

“Redd's Pub is so special, a community bar like no other. I love the support of the locals, collecting for charity, all while serving great food and experiences“

“Everything we ordered was phenomenal! So happy I ordered lunch from the big red truck when they stopped by our resort. INCREDIBLE!“

“i love Loren as a Server, she took care of me and my family and is a really nice person ... if you go there ask for Loren you won't regret it“

“Tiffany is an amazing server she recommended lemon blueberry mimosas which were fabulous, and also recommended the beignets. She made our first visit at another broken egg very good. Thank you Tiffany. We will definitely be back before we leave Destin“

“Awesome food and the best staff on 30a!“

“This is a friendly locals place serving breakfast comfort foods you enjoyed growing up if you grew up in this area. It's no frills and therefore very reasonably priced. LOTS of tradesmen stop in for breakfast and lunch as they start the day given there's a builder's lumber and hardware store nearby. The food is fresh (the fries are home made, not frozen). The biscuits are some of the best I've had. Only shortfall is there's no restroom inside (have to use the convenience store that's adjacent). Small detriment, though, as the food is worth that slight inconvenience.

Will be back. Loved the biscuits and gravy!“

“We have been to Bijoux over the last few years and each time has been truly amazing! The food has never disappointed and the service is wonderful (we really like Lisa as our server). The wine selection is not huge but does have very nice options for any occasion. Great appetizers (Crab Beignets are a favorite) and their Filet Mignon is the best we have found in South Walton. Last evening my wife and I split the 20oz Cowboy Ribeye (med. rare +) and it was so good! They also make their own desserts and we usually get the Cheesecake (last night’s was Orange Marscapone) and a couple of scoops of sorbet(so good!). Can’t wait to go back again.“

“Our party of 3 got seated right away. We all ordered different drinks and the favorite was the maker’s pina colada drink. Tom was the best server and took great care of us! My husband and I shared the platter for two and everything tasted great. Will definitely make a return visit.“

“I never do reviews, but this little bar & grill was awesome! The food was the best I’ve had in 30a. I’ve driven by it numerous times but we stopped today and so glad we did. Grilled shrimp tacos and the jalapeño margarita were wonderful. The service was top notch too!!“

“Find me a better causal & local restaurant in Santa Rosa Beach…I don’t think you can. The vibe and food at South (us locals call it South), is 10/10! Patrick and Kari are the best, and run their business with so much love for their community! PS - get the fish tacos!“

“Beautiful restaurant and wonderful service from hostess to our server, Candace.“

“One of the favorite restaurants in the 30A area. Not only is their food delicious, (their prosciutto flatbread is amazing) but their customer service from the owner, to the managers, to the servers is exceptional!“

“The waitress was very friendly and did a great job, but when I ordered the STEAK nachos I didn't realize there would only be two small pieces of steak on them, and they were cold. The rest of the food was good especially the burger and fries.“
