“This visit reminded me of why I was so sad the franchise left the West Coast.The salad bar alone is worth a visit. They have a LOT of variety to make the perfect salad. Most importantly, all of the ingredients are fresh and tasty.I ordered the Guacamole Smash Burger with a Gluten-Free bun. YUM! Cooked to perfection with all the flavor. Add to that the salad bar, I was in hog heaven. Off the charts YUM.Tara V. was our server, she was patient, knowledgeable, and uber accommodating.When I return to Florida I will definitely go back to the Ft.

“This place is a must eat! We ate breakfast here all 4 mornings of our stay! There isn't a dish that I would not recommend! They are all fantastic! The bourbon street was mine and my kids favorite, the gulf coast omelette was my husband's favorite. The bourbon street features a coconut waffle and out of this world bourbon butter sauce! The old Texas French toast features a citrus butter, and the grits are coconut grits! Delicious! That's just the food! The waiter and waitresses are super friendly! The manager even waits tables herself. She is so personable and presents herself as if she'd never met a stranger. We even noticed her giving people hugs as they entered! They play an awesome selection of music from hip hop/R&B to reggae. Through and through an awesome establishment!“

“Wow! You pull up and it looks almost like a little hole in the wall. You enter and deliciousness GOES DOWN. Bae always picks a winner and this is no different. The star of the show is for sure one of the many preparations of grouper. I ordered the grouper Cadillac, I went with blackened grouper served atop Gouda grits and covered with shrimp etouffee. My partner ordered the grouper nantua which was grilled grouper over basmati covered with shrimp bisque. Both were so delicious we hurt ourselves trying to finish our dishes. Service was prompt and measured. We both ordered before dinner cocktails. I opted for an espresso martini and my partner went with the blackberry sangria. Both were perfectly executed. I ordered a sangria to go with my dinner because it was spicy. We took two slices of keylime pie to go and that was great too. 10/10 recommend!The young chefs are putting in that work!“

“Harry T’s never disappoints. Great late lunch. Blackened grouper tacos and Caesar salad were perfect and tasty. Overlooking the water at Destin. Sorry to say, we’ll never be back. See comments on parking below.Parking: Though it’s been awhile since we’ve been to Destin and Harry T’s, they’ve always been favorites. Much to our surprise, we learned when pulling in that there’s a $20 charge for parking in a dirt lot. Harborwalk Village greets you with that. 20 bucks to park at what is essentially a mall. To go spend money at merchants that pay rent there. Unbelievable. Seems like a blatant gouge—probably because it is. Really? 20 dollars to park to go spend money? Is that a good way to make customers feel welcome? I don’t think so. Credit to Harry T’s for handing out 10 dollar credits for FLA residents and key ring holders (we’re neither). We just won’t be back because Destin offers so many other great dining options. And to top it off, there are plenty of other signs to make sure you’re not welcome. For example, there are signs in the driveway where you would drop off people (including the elderly and handicapped patrons) that say “Do not stop. No pickups or drop offs.” Really? Are you supposed to push them out at a slow roll? Who came up with these ideas and this signage? Nice work Harborwalk Village. Won’t see ya later.“

“Juno's Sushi-Steak and Seafood is a local restaurant in Fort Walton Beach, Florida. It is located directly across Uptown Station. They offer Korean BBQ, Japanese influenced dishes and more. My visit was like two years ago, so I want to go back to have a more up to date experience. I remember the food being good and pretty expensive. However, there went any other Korean BBQ spots around at the time I visited. I think Juno's is a great spot for a date. It's calm inside and there is a lot of seating for parties of many sizes. The service was nice! I think I chat with Juno himself and he is a vibrant and hardworking boss!“

“Wife and I live 10 minutes from Pallet Bar. We have eaten there many times while playing trivia or listening to the live music played there 3-4 nights a week. The owner has worked hard on the menu since opening five years ago and done a nice job of making the food on the bar menu really worthwhile. We have tried most things and have our likes (the Keto Special is surprisingly good, one of my favorites) but the dinner we had Thursday night has finally made me get off my chair and review the food.Thursday night is Prime Rib night at The Pallet. Never tried it til a couple of days ago, maybe because its only on Thursday. It was fantastic. Big thick slice of tender rare-to-medium-rare served with a side of au-jus and horseradish sauce. Garlic green beans (see below) and an added side of onion rings. Perfect size for two. Wife and I shared it and we ate every bite. I just wish I had tried it a long time ago.Lastly let me say no meal at PB is complete without at least one person at the table trying the garlic green beans. They will sub them for the french fries if you ask. Do it. Best green beans in town.Not sure what else to say. Parking can be an issue on the weekends so you may have to get creative there. Reasonably priced drinks, good food and live music inside and sometimes outside if the weather is nice. Hard to ask for more than that.“

We loved both but THE BISCUIT stole the show. I cannot say enough. Theyre ALMOST as good as my Great Grandmother's homemade biscuits. I heard they have tacos on tuesdays with homemade tortillas, and I can't waaaaaait for tuesday! We ordered from doordash, and it was still warm when it got here and I'm near Hurlburt. Next time I'll take photos! Oh, and the strawberry jalapeño jelly was delicious, too!!“

“We were already in the parking lot so we decided to go for a steak. For starters we had the stuffed mushrooms and they were to die for. I had the renegade sirloin and red rock shrimp with fries and the fire grilled corn on the cob. My oldest had a flo's filet and my other had a bowl of the shrimp and lobster chowder. I thought mine was supposed to come with a salad but I think she may have subbed the corn for it, I didn't realize until food was coming out. Service was great, she was on the ball with refills. I also had a coupon for a free desert but everyone was full so I picked one without ice cream and took it to go. It's very pricey there so we don't go often. This time was well worth the wait.“

Props Craft Brewery & Taproom Brewery • $
125 Lovejoy Rd NW, Fort Walton Beach - 2.28 miles

“This was the first brewery I decided to check out in the area while I was out here for work. It's tucked away down a side street, but pretty convenient to get to it seemed. The woman behind the counter was extremely nice and legitimately seems to care about who patrons the place. The brewery itself was pretty cozy, going for an aviation theme, which makes sense with the Air Force base basically next door (explains the military discount they offer on Tuesdays as well). They had just opened the actual brewery equipment area in the back for guests and have corn hole back there and a few other board games to choose from. Seemed like a place for regulars to come to. Everyone at the bar seemed to know each other and the bartender. But it was also inviting to a non-local which usually isn't the case, so that was really cool of them. There's a good variety of beers to choose from with a bit of an emphasis on lighter styles/IPAs which is a-ok in my book with the heat Florida has to offer. The regular blonde was pretty standard, an easy drinker. I did sample the blood orange blonde as well, but it was very fruit forward and the small glass I had had orange residue after I finished. The blueberry Pilsner was also super fruit forward but I could appreciate them not lacking on the flavor for that one since I'm a sucker for blueberry beers. Overall cool little spot in an area without a lot of choices for breweries. It sounded like they were trying to make plans to do more with the space too, so I'd be excited to see what they come up with as time goes on.“
