This place is located inside the restaurant. The chicken quesadillas were delicious. The margaritas were made perfectly. Customer service was excellent. The kids loved the chicken tender basket. They have tvs and a bar area to chill while waiting on your flight.

Tammy the bartender aka Taminater was a delight! Offered many suggestions on places to visit while we were in town. Only had drinks but the food looked great. ?

Extremely rude staff! We actually didn’t eat here and settled for something else.With it being the only sit down option nicer employees would be great. It was a morning the airport only has 4 flights for the day and plenty of empty tables she refused me to sit at a bigger table and wanted to put be in between two other tables. I had my 4 year old who was gonna be watching her tablet and I was trying to not be disruptive. She literally wouldn’t let me sit anywhere else ?When I told her I would not be staying she didn’t care and started talking about me ti the staff.

I don't EVER do this and really didn't want to but this was Possibly the rudest wait staff I've ever encountered, to put that into perspective for you - I'm a server and my husband is a bartender so over the years we've both seen plenty of awful service.These people are in the wrong line of work, when you go out of your way to give excellent service while being kind and welcoming your tips will reflect it. Still tipped more than 30% because we both get the grind and bad days happen but being the only Patrons in the restaurant at the time it was almost rewarding bad behavior.

I was pleasantly surprised with the great food and service! I had a cheesy BLT with a fried egg, and fries. Krista was great -- very helpful and had a great attitude! I don't typically spare time before flights to sit and eat, but I'd gladly make time to stop in and eat here again!

The Buffalo chicken wrap was $17. No side, just the wrap. And it was TERRIBLE!

This was a small restaurant inside the airport. We had lunch here right after landing in town. They weren't very busy but service was pretty slow. We waited almost an hour for all of our food and had to get up walk to the bar to ask for refills. When the food did come though it was very good. I had a salad with grilled chicken. The portion sizes were good as well.

We had a couple of hours until our flight leaving from Florida and decided to grab a bite from the Emerald Coast Bar & Grill. Located in the Destin-Fort Walton Beach Airport (VPS), FL, the restaurant is located after the security checkpoint (located to the side but within the gate area). It is situated in a highly-trafficked area for arriving travelers.We were seated quickly and there was no wait. Our server was very friendly and helpful. I ordered a 202 oz draft 30A blond ale (local) and my wife ordered the Emerald Coast Cooler.For lunch, I ordered the Bacon Ranch Chicken Quesadilla (comes with a side of sour cream). It came with tortilla chips and salsa and it was all very good. My wife ordered the Grilled Pesto Turkey Sandwich. She like it so much that she made it for the family a couple of days later. :-)Both of our meals were very good. I expected the prices would be much higher due to being in an airport, but everything was reasonably priced.Recommended!!
For a hotel bar and dining area, it was okay. The food wasn't bad. Most of it is definitely made from prepackaged frozen food product, though.Which to me didn't justify the price.

Decided to get lunch here as we had a long wait at the airport for our flights. This is a typical bar type restaurants and one of the few options in the Destin airport. One things that's nice is they have two separate sides of the restaurant depending on if you have gone through security or not. They menu has the typical offerings. They don't have a kids menu which is kinda crazy to me, but they did have a high chair at least. My husband ordered the fried chicken sandwich which he said was good. I had the chicken quesadilla. It was a little pricey at $17.50 but it done come with chips and prepackaged salsa which makes it a bit more worth it. The quesadilla wasn't very flavorful but I had to get it without peppers and onions as I had to share it with my daughter due to the lack of kids meal. It was loaded up with chicken though and I was stuffed from it. The service was fine. The food took a bit to come out but we were trying to kill time at the airport so I didn't mind. Overall, nothing amazing but this was a solid spot to get food at the airport.

Literally one of the worst places i've been in.. maybe ever. The two serves had a BADDD attitude, which included ignoring & scoffing at customers. Brought out the wrong food then didn't say anything about it, so then the right food came out really late and they continued to not say anything..then the "right" food had missing ingredients that I wasn't told about ahead of time and when I asked them about it they made me feel like I was in the wrong. Nor did they check on us the entire time. Everything was small & overpriced... Just go to Dunkin' next door instead.

Biscuits and gravy yum! BUT the deliciousness is the chicken and waffles!! Chicken tender inside yet crunchy on the outside. The waffle ......lightly carmelized crust with amazing fluffiness inside. Service was impeccable

Yep.. $17 for this guys. $17! Didn't even come with real fries or anything.. it came with a small lays chips. Now, I do understand that everything costs more expensive at the airports but.. $17 for this is really a joke! Oh well... lesson learnt.
