50 Best Vegetarian Restaurants near Shalimar

“Excellent greek food in a convenient location and the service is always outstanding! I come back time and again to the gyro sandwich or salad, but everything on the menu is good. Reasonably priced and really special specials. Even the pickiest of eaters find something to love here!“

“My mom and I went into the WH Shalimar on Saturday(8/10). It’s our favorite, but that team was absolutely AMAZING! They were helpful, polite, and working together. So……WH Shalimar, FL keep doing what you’re doing, it’s working.“

“Came here for lunch, on a Thursday afternoon. Sat in a booth on the bar side, which is separate from the dining area. The service was a little slow, but wasn’t in a hurry. If you are on a lunch break from work, maybe if you’re sitting in the dining area, you would be served quickly? The small strawberry 🍓 margarita is big(haha) & refreshing! Guacamole is a bit too chunky, but fresh. The grilled chimichanga was delicious, and so were the tacos. Served with fresh tomatoes,lettuce, sour cream, pico, rice and refried beans.
Came in again, on a Sunday evening, and had the Double Chimichanga (without the pico d’gallo) Sat at a booth, service was good, but 2 for 1 strawberry margaritas($14.99) not as good as the first time we came!“

“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!“

“Don’t let the plain exterior fool you, this place is dope. Julianne greeted us with a smile and was an excellent host/server. They have Gluten free garlic cheesy bread as well as gluten free pizza crust that is fantastic. Had a couple of the specialty pizzas and am in heaven. Run, don’t walk to Merlins!“

“Great Italy like experience. Food is served hot and taste amazing. There is a large selection of food with a kids menu that has real food! Service is good and very family friendly.“

“Great dining experience! Food was amazing and our server Tiffanee was top notch! She was knowledgeable and made great recommendations!“

“The Gulf is one of my favorite places. The staff is always friendly and it’s the perfect place to grab a bite and relax with family and friends or read and study solo. Yesterday was a bit chilly so Olivia and her teammate lit the fire pit for us. We were able to eat and enjoy the views while staying warm. Thanks again Olivia and staff. 🫶🔥🔥“

“Best Indian food in Destin!“

“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“

“Yo he ido a muchos restaurantes boricuas en Florida y, sinceramente, Papi’s Café and Grill es el único restaurante puertorriqueño que he probado en toda Florida que sabe 100% auténtico. Todos los demás no se sienten auténticos; tienen algún ingrediente o sabor agregado que los hace sentir como una copia y no como el sabor que amo y con el cual crecí. Yo extraño mucho mi isla, y cuando entro a Papi’s Café and Grill, instantáneamente me siento en casa. Además, tienen el mejor café auténtico y las mejores empanadillas. Lo recomiendo 100%. 🔥🇵🇷“

“Everything except dessert was phenomenal. The ribeye was stunning - among the best I’ve had in my life. Skip dessert (except coconut cream pie, if you love cream pies). Our table and the table next to us got 4 desserts (and they got it as a birthday treat), but we all thought the desserts were terrible compared to everything else. They even got theirs free because of the birthday but returned it because it was so bad. Our group of 4 came from San Francisco and were so happy with the food here.“

“Tried a new place for breakfast this morning. Atmosphere was excellent. Not noisy at all. There are options for seating - outside, inside and a counter area. Very clean! Staff is very friendly and very polite. The kitchen was on point - food came out very quick and was delicious. Highly recommend and will definitely be back!!“

“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.“

“The owners and staff are amazing, and the food is absolutely delicious! Best burgers in the area in my opinion. Highly recommend eating there.“

“I had a friend in town and whenever she comes in town this is her favorite stop! We were celebrating her 60th Bday and Morgan at the racetrack restaurant was AMAZING!“

“Food is delicious! Service is great! Our favorite place in Niceville. Love the filet and lava cake and more.“

“Great food and portions!!! With all the great selections, can’t understand that they serve frozen potatoes for breakfast. 🤷‍♂️😔 Any kind of American potatoes (leftover baked diced up… ) would be a Great addition!!!“

“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“

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

“Fantastic dinner and drinks, the flavors are incredible! Great service all with a beautiful view! Bonus was a dolphin sighting. New fan favorite. Husband already requested for birthday dinner 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!“

“Not bad pizza overall. Unfortunately they force you to get three toppings, or if you want less you still pay for three…? Most bizarre was the fact that they actually consider the mozzarella or “other cheese” as one of the three toppings??? That’s not NY, might be central FLA, which is fine. As the review started, not bad pizza but floppy especially if you order more than a topping. “Three toppings” intention actually means in ADDITION to the cheese. 12” for $22 is crazy & the gimmick of an 18” for $27 clarifies the gimmick. Order the pizza to be cooked “well done” & hopefully that should help with floppiness without burning. Enough of the pizza dissection. The small bar portion is cozy & half price HH is great! Will be back for HH, not certain for grub.“

“Great beer! Live music! Friendly staff!“

“Doc’s Oyster Bar was a good spot for fresh seafood and a relaxed meal. The food tasted fresh, the flavors were solid, and it’s definitely a place I’d recommend checking out. Parking is a little limited, but there’s extra parking nearby and the walk is easy enough. Overall, it was a good experience.“

“The best seafood I have ever eaten in my 50 years of life. We came to vacation from Kentucky and The Shack has the best fried geeen tomatoes I’ve ever eaten! Make it a point to eat here when you come to visit the area. A++++ 10⭐️“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ If you’re craving authentic German food, this place is a gem! From the moment we walked in, the service was warm, attentive, and welcoming. The menu is packed with traditional favorites—everything tasted fresh, hearty, and true to its roots. The schnitzel was perfectly crisp, the sausages were full of flavor, and the sides (especially the spatzle and potato salad) tasted just like something you’d find in Germany. And the beer selection? Outstanding—ice cold, authentic, and the perfect pairing for the meal. Where else can you dance the chicken dance in Florida? It’s rare to find a spot that nails both the food and the atmosphere, but this restaurant does exactly that. Fun music on Friday and Saturday nights. Highly recommend for anyone who wants a genuine German dining experience with top-notch service. Thanks Luci! Prost! 🍻“

“Alex M was our waiter tonight at the wharf 850. We had excellent service, and he was very friendly and very knowledgeable about the menu. I would definitely recommend this restaurant and waiter for anyone visiting in Niceville Florida.“

“Use the Destin Harbor haulers app to request free rides to this location!“

“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“

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

“Crunchy salmon skin hand roll so freaking good ? oh my God lol finally“

“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.“

“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.“

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

“This place is amazing ! I tried the White Cranberry Sangria! Amazing ! We also did 2 flights with multiple beers! All great! The pretzel amazing as well! If you are ever in Destin a must do! Not easy located but worth searching for!!! You will not be disappointed!“

“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!“

“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.“

“Will at Crab Island is awesome“

“Shrimp tacos Baja style were fantastic! My husband enjoyed the ground beef tacos southwest style! Great lunch on our last day in Destin!“

“Such a great little spot. Very warm and welcoming and honey. Food was served piping hot & was tasty. Owners make everyone feel welcome and special. It’s like going to eat at your aunts house. Definitely worth the stop. Thank You! :)“

“Delicious food & beautiful back patio!“

“Crowded with lots of appreciative diners. Limited parking and Limited seating. Menu loaded with many excellent and delicious items. items. Very friendly staff. Order at cash register and pick up at service window when summoned by flashing buzzer. Moderately noisy but conversation is still possible when speaking at near normal volume.“
