“We're from MN, and my son wanted Ribs. I encouraged him to wait for good southern BBQ. Boy, was he happy he waited. The service was great and friendly. The food was DELICIOUS. We got Brisket, Wings, Ribs, beans, creamy slaw, potato salads, and corn bread. It was all SOOOO good. The Wings I could eat every single day. The best I've ever had (and I like my Wings). Definitely a treasure to Destin, and if we come back... I wouldn't leave without another trip to Moe's. Thanks, guys! It was all we wanted, plus some. I'd love to see you guys in MN.“

“We saw Dewey Destin’s Snowballs when we were on a pontoon boat and stopped for lunch next door at Dewey Destin Restaurant. We had a couple of ice cream cones and a key lime snowball. I usually don’t get snow cones and my wife had me take a bite of hers and it was very good. Not too syrupy like others are and it had this key lime cream in the middle that tasted perfect. The kids liked their ice cream cones too. We come from a lake town In Michigan and have quite a few ice cream shops and this one would fit in well. Glad we tried this place; very reasonably priced too.“

“Stopped in for lunch last Saturday. Our server, Lourdes, took great care of us. This may sound crazy, but the service was better than most "fine dining" restaurants we frequent along 30A. She promptly brought our drinks AND ice water in sparkling glass tumblers. When's the last time your server did that? Then, she brought our corn muffins and biscuits while the kitchen worked on our order. When's the last time you got bread service? And the main course was out in a jiffy! Clean, fast, satisfying and reasonably priced. A very rare combo these days. Thank you!“

“SO. YUMMY. These biscuits are insane. I cannot wait to try more!! I built a biscuit with chicken, cheese, and strawberry jalapeño jelly on a jalapeño cheddar biscuit. My husband had the Southern. 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 love this place, it kinda reminds us of "Cheers" with the huge bar in the middle...those who know, know :- ) They are family restaurant, always nice people and great service. The food is very good and at the right times, there's great conversation.The owners ARE actually brothers and both are laid back and enjoying conversation with guests. During the college football season "Brothers" is a must, they have plenty of TVs to watch your team.I gave 4 stars only because I realize people don't always see things the way others do.I highly recommend "Brothers"It's a good family atmosphere.Parking: They share a parking lot with other businesses around so there's generally plenty of parking.Kid-friendliness: They have plenty of "kid friendly" foods as well.Wheelchair accessibility: Brothers is on "street level" so it's wheelchair accessible.“

“If you order the right thing, it tastes good everywhere. Here we had salad, pasta with cheese, pork combo with potato salad and fries - everything was very good. The service was also good and the waitress was nice. The ambience of the shop is a bit old, but everything is kept clean. Price performance too ?. Clear recommendation.“

“Nice, relaxed, excellent burger. I really had a taste for just a great burger. This did not disappoint. Bacon, cheese, lettuce, onion. Any place that also keeps a good eye on fresh coffee gets a thumbs up from me, ? I'd recommend and will visit “
