Fantastic little gem! We have gone there 3 times now and each time the food and service is fantastic! Highly recommend the chicken parm sandwich (it's giant) and the philly cheese steak! It says a lot about a restaurant when the owner personally checks on each guest to make sure they are enjoying their food! Oh and everything is priced reasonable. Thank you for the great food and service!!!

Don’t let this place fool you by looks. It’s almost got a hole in the wall vibe and it’s a good one! we absolutely loved the food and our server was super friendly. Had the garlic balls & cheese curds for an app. so delicious. Son ordered the ribeye and he said it was best steak he has had. Wings, philly cheesesteak, tenders, French dip all very delicious!

It’s ok, but like everything in this town, it’s nothing spectacular.It’s always crowded, mostly full of drunk gen x white people, likely going on about how they drank from a garden hose back in the good old days. . .The beer selection sucks and what they do have tastes bad.I’m not a fan of their food either

Great Place. Wonderful bartenders. Met the owners and they are very gracious and welcoming. The food was excellent. Great price for what you get and the beer was cold. Good selections of beverages. Bellying up to the bar felt like home. Will definitely be back.

We’ve been coming to this area the last few years, but this is our first time at Fokker’s. I really wish we would’ve discovered it sooner. What a fabulous place. We were greeted by staff and the owner before we even walked inside. Once inside we saw a very welcoming bar area, which is where we like to sit. There is seating for families too though. Sean, the bartender chatted with us and made us feel very welcome. The menu is huge and honestly, it was very hard to decide on what to get. I went with my favorite, chicken Parm sandwich. My husband got the French dip. These both were absolutely amazing! The chicken Parm sandwich was so huge, I ate it with a fork. We met the owners Jud and Julie, and they were extremely nice. Honestly, it felt like we’ve known all of the staff forever. We’re very social people, but it’s rare to get this kind of hospitality traveling at times. Some places treat you like “tourists.” Fokker’s definitely treats you like a local. We’ve found our new favorite place here in Fort Walton. Check this place out!!

Had a great experience all around. The food was delicious and Paula was terrific at the bar. I chatted with the owner for awhile and he was great. Brought us out some complimentary appetizers. I highly recommend going if you are anywhere in the area. Will definitely be back on future trips. ?
I went here with a group of friends after work to grab a beer. The place had a good vibe and all the staff were very welcoming. Service was very good as was the food and drink. Struck up a conversation with the owner and found him to be very friendly. Overall a place I would recommend for some good food and a cold beer. I will be visiting again in the future.

Ate here a few nights ago. Service was terrible!! We got our drinks and appetizers quickly, but we waited 1 1/2 hours for our pizzas and the order was wrong. Pizza was supposed to have ricotta cheese as an add on. Also the pizza crust was burnt on the bottom. When we finally got our pizzas the waitress said there was a malfunction with the order entry machine, but we saw 3 other tables who came in after us get their pizzas in a timely manner. I think our waitress forgot to put our order in!! She could tell we were not happy and avoided us the rest of the time. The manager did come out and apologized stating she had 3 new waitress she was training. Also said she would compensate for the long long wait. Well she gave us the military discount! Which came to $8 off! Would have expected a free appetizer or a better discount on a $22 and a $35 pizza!! We had 4 alcoholic drinks, two appetizers and 2 pizzas. Also the ceiling fan above us was running at a high speed. Asked the waitress if she could turn it down. We were told that they lost the remote. We moved to a different booth. 3 other parties were seated there and had to move also!! This was our first time in since the new owners. The menu is the exact menu from the original owners.The pizza crust is not the same! We will not be going back!

First time discovering this place. For a late afternoon lunch on a Sunday we found it pretty decent. Will be back. Food was good with decent hot wings. Server was very attendant and overall a good experience. The pizza was very good as well.

Visiting from Saint Petersburg, my friends in Sant Rosa Beach were looking for someplace to eat and have a few drinks. I saw an advertisement for Fokkers Pub, home of the mother Fokker, lol! I thought that with this play on words, I'd check it out online. The menu sounded really good, and I hoped to get a T-shirt. So we set off on a 45 drive with good expectations. First off, the address on Google is incorrect, and we passed it. I hit the directions button, and we made it there finally. Walked in, and we were greeted by a busy server who told us to sit anywhere. Wanted to sit at the bar, but it was full of regulars. No biggie, say at a table. 5 minutes later, the server came and presented menus. 21 minutes later, a new server, Ashley, came over and took our drink order. She took our food order as well and came back with water. After another 7 minutes, we watched our beer sit at the server station, We had been there for over half an hour and just got our 1st beer. Our server brought our food shortly after this. 2 of us ordered the beef on weck. It did not come with au jus, so we asked for some. She promptly brought it, and with only half our beers gone, we decided we better order another one with how long it took previously. We were almost done with our meal, and Ashley came over and apologized for the delay stating the bartender was getting our beer next. The bartender was not even anywhere to be seen, and when she got back, she was visiting with the locals. It had now been an hour, and we were done eating and did not have our 2nd beer. Although drinks were flowing at the bar for everyone sitting in front of the bartender. We told our server we just wanted the bill and skipped the beers. Received the bill and saw we had an upcharge for 3 -3oz souffle cups of au jus at $2.00 each. So, a $17.99 beef on weck was now 19.99. Reviewing the menu, their French dip was $16.99 and came with Au Jus. Very disappointed and they didn't have t-shirts to buy. I guess all the reviews are regulars and get great treatment. I'm not faulting Ashley she did a great job and was attentive. But I hope she doesn't have to tip share with that angry, inefficient bartender because she doesn't deserve a dime. How hard is it to open a beer bottle and pour a draft beer? Off my soapbox now.
Great food and friendly staff
