The Craft Bar - Destin 4424 Commons Dr E, Destin Gastropubs • $$

“The Charcuterie Board was a huge disappointment, especially given that they have the best selection of cheeses, cured meats, and gourmet condiments to choose from at Chan's Wine World in the next room. Craft Bar's board skimped on the bread, offering only four small slices and a condiment cup of chili seasoned dipping oil. No mustard. Their interpretation of "a selection of cured meats" means a few slices of rosette salami. Instead of presenting a variety of cheeses (e.g, a soft, medium, and hard) it consisted only of three very samish seasoned cheddars. It also came with seedless grapes and kalamata olives, and seasoned pecans, which were the best thing on the board.While trying to get the server's attention, he ignored us several times as he walked by. Once he approached, we sent the board back and he had it taken off our bill.Then we were also disappointed by the meatloaf dinner. The meatloaf was overprocessed, overcooked and mushy. I wouldn't even feed it to my dog. The accompanied greens were overcooked and under seasoned. The mashed potatoes tasted like instant. The gravy was a very check-the-square brown, nothing special.If you want fantastic meatloaf, try Brother's Kitchen.Again, the server was very inattentive, and since it was our second complaint, he sent the owner to our table, who was very agitated and patronizing towards me, but grudgingly agreed to remove the meatloaf from the bill.I recommend if you like pub food, stick to the Nashville chicken and the craft Burger. That's what they're good at.”

“I am a frequent customer and normally everything is good. I place a nice size order tonight for Me and the grandkids. I should have checked the order before I left but they were rushing me through the drive thru and they assured me that everything was in the bags. However it was not. I paid extra for a side salad and NO SALAD. Called and talked to the manager and she said can you come back. No not with 3 little grandkids and 30 Minutes away. And of course she could not find my order even though I gave her my order number. Next time I will stay at the drive thru until I check everything in the bags”

Panera Bread 34885 Emerald Coast Pkwy, Destin Cafe • $

“"I've been a regular customer at Panera Bread for quite some time now, and while I generally enjoy their food and atmosphere, there are a few issues that have consistently bothered me.Firstly, there was one instance when I ordered a turkey sandwich through their 'rapid to go' service but forgot to leave a tip. Unfortunately, it seemed like my sandwich had been dipped in a fish sauce, which was quite off-putting.Secondly, I've noticed a recent change in the dining area where they've removed the self-service cups. Now, customers have to approach the staff and present their receipts, which feels somewhat demeaning.Moreover, the cleanliness of the dining area leaves much to be desired. The floors always seem sticky, which is not very appealing.As for the restroom, particularly the men's restroom, cleanliness is often an issue. I've encountered instances of overflowing toilets, and the placement of the paper towels and soap dispensers is inconvenient and needs to be rearranged.Overall, while I appreciate the convenience and food quality at Panera Bread, these recurring issues with cleanliness and service detract from the overall dining experience. I hope the management takes note of these concerns and makes the necessary improvements for the benefit of all customers."”

Burger King 751 US-98, Destin Fast Food • $

“I want to send a special Atta Girl to the “Crew of Two” that opened and operated the Burger King in Destin today!!!!! (Oct 1)Instead of closing because staff didn’t show up they took it on and served the community. Their attitude and customer service was the best and the food was fresh and better than usual. They definitely need to be recognized and rewarded! My visit wasn’t until 2pm so heaven knows what they had been through during rush time. They were upbeat, friendly, and efficient. As an employer myself I sure hope management takes notice and takes care of this “Crew of Two”.”

I've seen it forever and just went there for the first time this evening with two friends/colleagues. The service was excellent and when I learned that it is run by a family that really made sense. Everyone was so friendly. The charcuterie board we ordered was delicious and full of flavorful cheese, fruit, meats, and a variety of items I've actually never even tried before. Everything was delicious. Their happy hour was great and I will definitely be back.”

“The busser Sophie was AMAZING! She welcomed me in, made me feel comfortable, and gave perfect recommendations. I ate at PB&Jess's place and they were equally awesome. There is an abundance of food options for everyone and each venue is a small business. The variety is a great and cozy atmosphere to sit all together. The seating is clean and the bathrooms looked like someone stays deep cleaning them! TopGolf is so affordable and an absolute blast, with other simulated games as options as well. There are drink options if you're a drinker, but Sophie recommended their cranberry and basil syrup mocktail which was stellar. She was so considerate and made my time great!”

“Our cake was absolutely delicious. We ordered a 2-tier cake with vanilla cake on one layer and strawberry cake as the other, and both were amazing. Our guests had a difficult time deciding which flavor they wanted, and most took both. The hardest decision experienced was deciding which flavor everyone liked best! Communication was excellent and the cake was everything we could have wanted and more. The cake was packaged and delivered to our reception location as requested.”

“I stop in at least once a week to grab a "combo" of a shake and a loaded tea and would go more often if it weren't so expensive. Not that I'm balking at the price too much because when you think about it, you're going to spend that on breakfast and a drink (big enough to last your entire workday) just about anywhere you go. The owner is always there! I usually stop in on my way to the office in the mornings, but I've popped in mid-afternoon and over the weekend and there she is working away. She's always got a smile on her face and something kind to say. And she even puts my little coozies on my cups for me because I tend to be a little clumbsy with that. I haven't had a bad shake, I've had some that weren't what I was in the mood for but they have all been excellent. Even with a line, she clears it quickly. Would recommend 100%”

We had Eduardo as our waiter and he made the experience absolutely wonderful. He was very kind and polite as well as very timely and efficient. We never had less than half of our drinks missing and he made sure our food was perfect for us. The kitchen brought our daughters queso and guacamole out first thinking it was an appetizer and Eduardo immediately jumped in (without being asked) to get her rice so she could go ahead and eat which was so nice and thoughtful. Next time you are at El Jalisco ask for Eduardo! You won’t be disappointed. He goes above and beyond on his own and does it with a smile on his face!”
