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.“

“Last month, August 24th, 2025, my husband and I just happened to drive by The Bavarian’s Wirtshaus and were surprised to see this restaurant. We lived in Germany for 2 1/2 years in 1990 and loved living there. It was our 40th wedding anniversary and had reservations at another restaurant until we saw This authentic, German restaurant. We cancelled our reservation and went to the Wirtshaus instead. We are so glad we did; the food was wonderful—just like we remembered from our time living in that beautiful country. I had jaeger schnitzel and my husband had zigeuner schnitzel. The staff was upbeat and the atmosphere so relaxed. Our server brought us a desert on the haus—hot apple strudel with real whipped cream and vanilla ice cream. The next time we’re in town, we plan to visit again. Thank you Bavarian’s Wirtshaus for making our 40th memorable! ❤️“

“Wonderful meal and wine selection“

“We are visiting the Ft Walton beach area for the first time. Soi Bistro came highly recommended and did not disappoint. Friendly staff and an enjoyable atmosphere. Will definitely go back to try more of their offerings. A must for sure“

“We eat Thai all the time, and I have to say this Thai food is the BEST!!! It feels light but yet so delicious!!! We now order take out at least once a week bc we are so addicted to this restaurant. It's like the other Thai restaurants feel more like recipes from home cooks which don't get me wrong, I absolutely love. But Benjarong feels like there is a Thai chef in there whooping up the most delicious menu. It's just so tasty, light, and fresh. I am so glad we found this place.“

“Best food I had while in Destin!“

“Great beer! Live music! Friendly staff!“

“We had the best time , food was great. Service was on point. Highly recommend a visit“

“The garlic dipping oil is amazing. We took some home and put it on sandwiches and in a crab omelet. We have been talking about it for days. The lasagna is remarkable and the ribeye steak I ordered was enough for three meals. Cooked perfectly medium rare. Friends had the lobster ravioli and shrimp with vodka sauce which was good. Calamari was outstanding, very tender. Our waitress was Lauren L., very professional and pleasant. We will definitely go back there again next year when we visit.“

“Best spot to get BBQ in Destin!!!! The food was Incredible. We will Def be visiting again next year.“

“Best Mexican restaurant in FWB imo. Truly authentic! Do not let the outside fool you - the inside is very nice and stylish. Food is amazing and not too salty. Service is great as well. I love their homemade chips - some of the best that I have ever had - light and not greasy. Salsa is just right as well. This restaurant puts all of the others to shame!“

“Fantastic place for breakfast and brunch. One of two Destin restaurants I simply have to go to while visiting. The Crawfish Eggs Toufee is amazing! Just wish I had bought a couple of those cute coffee mugs this past visit. :-)“

“The Back Porch did not disappoint one bit. We loved the atmosphere. We were seated out on the back porch right in front of the gulf and had a wonderful breeze blowing the whole time, which was great since we were visiting Florida in August. We got seafood and steak. The steak was amazing and tender. The grouper, crab bites and twice baked potatoes were delicious! We will definitely be back!“

“We were in town for vacation and decided to have a pizza night. Ordered the white sauce with chicken and bacon with mozzarella and ranch for dipping. It was delicious. Huge portions! Plenty of leftovers!“

“The absolute best staff! They took very good care of us. Neat atmosphere, food was good!“

“Tiffany took care of my carry out order and she was extremely nice. Made sure I had everything I needed. Love me some Sonnys in Fort Walton. I am a frequent flyer. Stopped in again today and Tiffany did it again. Great customer service as always. I cant stay away from this place for long. Food is always amazing. Love me some Sonnys“

“A hidden gem in Destin! A tiny spot with parking in the back. The atmosphere is quaint with maybe 7 tables inside and 4 tables outside. I’d imagine during peak season you’d need a reservation. Out bottle beer and champagne split was not ice cold, but that’s the only thing I’d complain about. I had the gyro platter, the meat was perfectly seasoned and served over a bed of rice. The salad was served on the same platter with a nice balsamic type dressing and plenty of feta cheese crumbles. My husband ordered the Swedish meatballs served on garlic mashed potatoes and the salad on the same platter. He did say some of meatballs were a touch overcooked but over all enjoyed the meal. We will definitely go back to try other dishes.“

“Gluten-free French toast, hooray! Delicious food, plenty of options, kind service!“

“I love this place! First Korean restaurant I ever ate at (back in 2003ish), and been going back ever since. I liked a Korean restaurant in Germany too, but no other place I've tried (about 20 others) has compared. The owner always remembers me, my family, and my friends. We don't even need a menu, she knows what food and drinks we want and lets us know if there's something special to try that day, like the seaweed soup.“

“My husband & I both got oatmilk caramel machiatto's, eggs benedict, & 1 biscuit & gravy. The latte was delicious & so was the food! It's a cute place & very clean. They had yummy pastries & all food I saw looked fabulous. There was no wait when we arrived, & then lunch rush came. I'll go back again! The staff is pleasant & the food is fresh quality!“

“We have been here at least once a week for the last month! Delicious food and friendly staff.“

“New owners and the food is great! The server was very good. I ate there 2 times this week.“

“Girls trip 2025! First time there and it was our favorite of the trip! Whitney, our waitress was absolutely the best! Sitting on the patio overlooking the water was the cherry on top! I had the blackened redfish with crawfish topping and it was so delicious! Also the pimento shrimp dip and the fried green tomatoes were delish!!! I even got 2 tees from the shop! Loved it and will definitely return! ❤️“

“Delicious! We have tried a couple of different sandwiches and they are ALL so good! Best service, best sandwich. 🥳“

“You get your bang for your buck at this place!! It's easy to miss, but you do not want to miss out on this so be on the look out. Highly recommend the fresh rolls as an appetizer and the chow menu“

“Great hidden gem restaurant in Niceville! Food was AMAZING and the service was friendly! We loved the outdoor seating and it was a wonderful spot for a quick lunch. I would highly recommend the redfish sandwich and the smoked fish spread sandwich! GREAT PICKLES!“
