Gluten-Free Restaurants near Niceville, FL

“When I first entered the facility I was absolutely stunned by the simplicity of the shop. It reminded me of of the Bodega momma used to serve at during the war with all the "can-do" attitude that any young urban professional (Yuppie) would be happy to be attended to since I have no time, or tolerance for putter patter.The young lesbian gave me exactly what I wanted as I asked for it; as soon as I paid my meal was ready.You may ask, "how was the food?"......flipping tastey. Spicy food was spicy, savory flavors lingered. Although the crust was thick(er) I dont expect neopalitan crust in Niceville, FL.I love their creativity and service. 25/10.“

“Best Italian place in the Niceville area. I love this cute little place. Been coming here for years. The pizzas are handmade & delicious. Pastas are to die for. Drinks are cheap and delicious. You're missing out if you haven't been here. There's also an attached bar if you want some late night fun.“

“We’re on my vacation trip for my birthday & we decided we wanted some local pizza for lunch and this place is perfect! We are originally from Alabama & not a far drive for us so we will definitely be back to Merlin’s Destin, FL! Jacey was our server she’s very polite and friendly she didn’t bother us too much just checked on us a few times wasn’t to pushy which is a plus we don’t like when the server comes back to back ! We appreciate you Jacey!! Thanks Merlin’s for making my pre birthday trip a success btw my bday is 5/14!! 1 day away ♉️ szn !“

“I had the tofu bowl and it was amazing! The portion size is generous. I was only able to eat half. Josh was very nice and offered to let me try any of the food I was interested in. I am glad that I've found a vegan place to eat in our area. Thank you for providing that!“

Yummy highly recommend trying I’ll be a regular now! Love!⭐️ ????❤️⭐️“

“Our family has been here several times and have always had a great experience. I son always gets some type of float because he loves the fact that he gets ice cream plus he gets the leftovers of the can of soda. My daughter and I get the Italian ice. I love that there are only three ingredients: fruit, sugar and water. The service is always friendly, and there are several picnic tables to sit at while enjoying your treats. The hotdog place that shares the parking lot is really good too.“

“This local lunch food spot is the best and our absolute favorite. Food is consistent in flavors and great every single time. Portion sizes are generous and the service is impeccable! The ambiance is inviting with a personalized touch from the owner. Go once and you'll crave it always!!“

“This found tastes so fresh and nourishing. The sweet potato pumpkin soup was delicious, and their salad dressings really had a nice punch to them. Overall, very delicious. I would have hoped for slightly larger portions, but that's it!“

“I arrived just past the cutoff for lunch sadly. However, the gentleman behind the counter was SO helpful. He suggested chicken salad on a croissant and offered to assemble it for me with a bit of Dijon. Very kind and let me tell you what...that sandwich was bliss. I haven't had much if any if a appetite lately after having recently lost my mother. That chicken salad croissant was the first thing that's had any taste for me in weeks. Now I'm going to waddle around Target, and later I will eat the jam filled almond croissant I purchased. Very good food here and just lovely service.“

“The cakes we ordered for my twins birthday was delicious and beautiful! Owner was very easy to coordinate and communicate with. Highly recommend Bread.butter!“

“So so so so so happy with my experience here!! We originally went to a waffle house (spoiler alert: don’t go) and the workers there were incompetent. We ended up leaving before eating there and chose Cafe Destin on a whim and honestly could not be happier with our decision. The restaurant (and bathrooms!) are very clean and everything looks very well maintained. The workers were very friendly and were quick to clear tables and make sure you’re doing well. You order at a counter, seat yourself, and they bring your food to you— so you don’t have to wait on a waiting list. The food is SO GOOD. No one in my group left even a crumb on our plate because everything was delicious- and the portion sizes were perfect. Big big big fan of our experience and would recommend to everyone:)“

“I am in Fort Walton for two weeks on a work trip. Eating high protein with clean ingredients to fuel my work day and gym routine is non-negotiable for me. I originally set out to purchase meals from Cleaneatz because I have seen them in my hometown but never tried them. Turned out that their meals were only frozen after being out for a week. Once defrosted they had to be eaten immediately. This just wasn’t going to work for me with only a hotel fridge and freezer tray. Thankfully I passed by Healthy Coast meals just after leaving cleaneatz. I stopped in and let the girl know my needs. She set me up with some meals and I have been eating them all week and weekend. They are SO good! I am just so pleased too because total was about $200 for 10 meals. However the price is worth the quality of the food. Which is a big factor for me as well. Honestly the few times I have ate out I just wished I ate my Healthy Coast meal instead. The burger salad is the best! I’m SO happy I saw them off the road. I honestly think their food looks more fresh and appealing than Cleaneatz. The food does taste really fresh as well. Protein donuts are such a great and tasty snack. I had the chocolate and blueberry chocolate chip. I’d say the only thing is they are lacking on salt for seasoning but other than that this is one of the best meal prep places I have had. I have tried factor meals too and healthy coast is SO much better. I have also had the steak and potatoes, and eggs sausage and potatoes. Both great choices. Excited to eat the Cuban pork and chicken enchiladas this week. Please open one in Colorado Springs! I know I will be back for future work trips so I will definitely be visiting again.Dietary restrictions: High protein“

“Casey was an outstanding and fun server who we enjoyed talking with. She was so knowledgeable about the menu and was able to check to see if we could still get a slice of carrot cake even though they are switching it out of the menu (we got it!). The food was excellent. My filet was cooked to the right temperature and we loved the sweet potato casserole. The portions were generous and the service was superb. Thanks for a great meal in Destin!“

“I’ve been to Melting Pot before but this recently experience deserves to be mentioned. Justin was our server and he was extremely attentive to details with us, we had the best time, the best food, the best service. Thank you Justin!Dietary restrictions: We had the option to double other item instead of shellfish.“

“My husband and I held our wedding reception at Marina Cafe on 2/24/24! It’s one of our favorite restaurants on the Harbor! Everything was perfect from the planning with Bridget, to the delicious food, and especially the excellent service! I wish I could name each one of the staff who took care of our family and friends! Tina is amazing and treats us like family every time we go. Marina cafe was very flexible and open to our ideas. We wanted to live-stream our ceremony from our yacht into the venue for our guests and they helped make that happen. We love Marina Cafe and you will too!The Sloans“

“Absolutely stunning! We are in town on vacation and it coincides with my husband's 40th birthday. I knew that I wanted to get a cake but I'm not familiar with the area. I emailed back and forth with Macaron Chef to place the order. They were so kind and gracious. I wasn't sure what design or flavors so I just asked for whatever the most popular one was and that we were doing black and gold decorations. The cake turned out even more beautiful than I imagined! It was delicious too! I couldn't be happier. This was above and beyond!“

“This place is like a little hidden treasure in the middle of Destin. You wouldn't think much of it from the outside (it's in the same shopping center as Target) but their coffee and croissants are absolutely amazing. Their sandwiches are creative and delicious as well. The dirty Chai is my favorite latte and I crave it like no other coffee anywhere. It's amazing how people will wait in line at Starbucks inside Target when there is amazing espresso just a couple storefronts down with no wait. Can't wait to try some of their sweets available as well. They do custom cakes through Bake my Day as well I believe.“

“Great burgers and excellent Chicken BLT! Our waiter Josh went above and beyond by answering our menu questions and being friendly! We are from Illinois and will probably be back if we return to Destin for vacation!“

“We biked 5 miles to give their crab cakes a try. Upon arrival we were advise they were out for the day. However, Michael was kind enough to provide us with recommendations to the nearest restaurant with crab cakes. Not only did he do that, he allowed us to use his phone to call and confirm. He also did not stop there!!! He then provided us with to-go waters to ensure our trip was hydrated. Even though we did not dine in, the service and heart was worth sharing! Thank you!“

“Best authentic Italian restaurant in Destin . Been there dozens of times and always completely satisfied“

“Food was great. Servers were very polite and helpful.“

“Good home style pizza, a little more expensive, but quality is definitely n better than big chains. I didn't actually have any problem with our service, but they were being weird about ordering take out an hour before close. They also turned people away while I was picking up a half hour before close. I don't think there's enough service workers around here during spring break, so it may just be a stress thing. Some other places I checked were closing early, too.“

“Could be a nice place, but our food came out super slow and scattered. About an hour and a half for the first entree to come out and about fifteen minutes later the last kid got their burger. My boneless wings came out first and they were room temperature. It's spring break and they're probably busy, but it could obviously be managed better. The waitress was new but tried hard to keep us happy, when the kitchen can't keep up there's not much the wait staff can do. One of the orders was wrong as well, dinner ended up being about a 3 hour trip. Nice atmosphere, great spot to hang with a group and watch games, but don't have high expectations if it's busy.“

“We were a wedding party of about 35 people trying to find a place to go for food and drinks on a Saturday night at about 7:30. I stopped at Millers and talked to the manager who short of staff reluctantly agreed to let us all come there. We had a great time, food was delicious, drinks and beer ice cold and made very well. I want to give a big thank you to the Bartender who working by herself took really good care of us with a smile. We were ording many shots along with special mixed drinks, she did not miss a beat everything was perfect. I also want to thank the Manager for allowing us to invade his outdoor bar area at short notice. Thank you Millers for a great night.“
