“I cant put in words the comfort this place brings, i grew up in niceville and one thing i’ll miss the most is this coffee shop, the owner is amazing and so are all the employees, they started playing old radio ads from the 50s which is a cherry on top to the atmosphere.“
“Check out James Swetmusic reels I most definitely gave you all a shout out soon as me and wife ate there over the memorial day week. Best breakfast I've ever had in the area hands down! Salute the chef! I recommend to anyone!!! And certainly will be back there when we come again!“
“Beautiful location for friends, dates, or meetings. We had a relaxing date night with lots of food, nice wine, great locals, and sports tv playing.They do have indoor and outdoor seating. Special little place in our town.I had the ricotta tortellini with marinara & salad. The salad needs more love besides lettuce, but the dressing was great. It was a side salad and maybe that’s a restaurant thing.My guy had the buffalo chicken pizza. He really liked it. Plenty of leftovers.The wine is a nice blend, soft, red, smooth taste with a nice aroma. Try the wine.Amazing service!Vegetarian options: Pasta, soupParking: Easy parking“
“Great local microbrewery with their own quality brews and a few guest taps. They also serve a variety of wines. The staff is friendly and personable and go out of their way to treat everyone like a regular and a local.They recently upgraded the menu, and the food is just too good to accurately describe - start at the top with the porkbelly deviled eggs - really! Then work your way down from there. The flatbreads are great as well.Support local businesses! Especially if they make great beer!“
“Wow! This place is a waterfront gem! Menu has great variety, food is fresh and delicious, the ambiance/vibe is fun and relaxed and our server Michael was ever present checking on us making sure all of our special requests were met. We will definitely be back!“
“I've had consistent friendly service and we enjoy their crack roll I'll eat two rolls by myself.I also like the red dragon roll. It's a sit where you like seat your self and order at the counter spot and they have drive thru-pick up too.“
“Nothing fancy, but excellent counter service and outstanding fresh fish meals. The sides were very good; portion size was nice (not stupendous, but generous). Definitely on the list to revisit.Updated Apr 24: still excellent, fresh fish. Counter service, food ready in 12 to 15 minutes from the time you order. Outdoor deck or indoor picnic tables. Not fancy; just good.“
“This is our go to place for lunch. Great food, location, and right on the water. We grab lunch and let the kids play in the sand. Beer prices are insane at $8 a can but somewhat expected for the location. Recommend for families as they have large seating areas and small play area for them. Bring some sand toys.Parking: Can be full at prime lunch times.“
“Awesome food, service, atmosphere, bathrooms - everything! Great selection of beers, food and coffee. Immaculately clean, great outdoor space for kids and pets. Our new favorite spot. Smash burger and quinoa bowl were fantastic, as well as the affogato. Highly recommend.Kid-friendliness: Great grassy area for kids and pets to play.“
“Delightful and delicious! I love the concept of coffee/lattes with beignets. I'm extremely thankful that they serve bite size beignets and plenty of it for one order! It makes eating them easier and cleaner. I'll be back again for the beignets, but I'm eager to try their drinks next time. The options they have all sounded delectable! There was only one person working, but came out with my order in a timely manner, delivered it directly to me, and was kind. Love this place!“
“We had a fantastic experience with the crepes atCapriccio Cafe! We ordered two Nutella crepes with strawberry and bananas, and they were absolutely delicious. The older gentleman who greeted us inside was incredibly sweet. We'll definitely be stopping by again when we're back in town! Highly recommended!“
“We decided to try this placed based on the great reviews and so glad we did!We tried the Diego Rivera Omelet and the scrambled made in colombia eggs and both were delicious. The Atmosphere is very friendly and the service was outstanding!Vanesa took the time to explain all the menu and answered all of our questions, we definitely recomend this place! 5/5“
“If you are in Fort Walton, stopping here for lunch and dinner is an absolute must! The service is outstanding. The food is all made in house and it is delicious! These are seriously the best fries I’ve had in a long time! The ranch is to die for…can’t say enough great things about this place!! ❤️“
“We love a fresh tasting acai bowl any time of the year! Best place to get it at. When it's crowded it can be a wait to order and get ur bowl but so worth it. We love the local bowl with light granola since I share with my son. Cute spot to hang out when it's not crowded.“
“Me and my buddies came today for the first time to eat Chicago style dogs and beefs. I ordered the Maxwell street polish hotdog and my buddy ordered the the Viking polish dog and man oh man. The prices for these size Chicago dogs with friends are amazing, what’s even better is the taste. Met the owner as he was cooking these bad boys up and he is a very delightful person very nice and friendly. Highly recommend coming here to have a bite to eat“
“Great looking place with great service. Food was mediocre as there was little taste to it. We had the classic french toast and southern omelet. French toast has no flavor, the syrup is very watery for some reason and had little taste as well.“
“Absolutely delicious. Moco Loco is where it's at!UPDATE: I order the large plate today and hot damn! The pork and chicken are always delicious but what knocked it out of the ballpark was the freaking cabbage! I ordered it on a whim and damn, it was so beyond delicious. 10/10“
Ice Cream Shop •
“Our family Had the banana cream, fruity pebbles, Passion berry and strawberry cheesecake rolled ICE cream... ALL flavors were really good. I spotted this ice cream truck when we got into Destin and couldn't get it off my mind, just had to try it out! She puts the ingredients down and rolls the ice cream right where you can see her doing it. It's really cool to see. And this rolled ICE cream is dro! I enjoyed this better than a typical ice cream shop. Try it out! You won't be disappointed! My picky eater even loved it (the banana cream)!“
“Wonderful service and delicious authentic food! We have the pleasure of visiting this restaurant in Destin and we were so satisfied with the service and Food. We ordered greek fries, humus and Grape leaves for appetizers, all delicious. Our main course was Gyro place and check Kabob plate. I can't say enough how delicious it was- the presentation was outstanding! Will definitely visit again!“
“We came to try the beer and the wagu hot dog! It's a really small spot inside but it's big on personality! Bree and Christine are killing it here! They are both super nice and super friendly.. told us they had the best pimento cheese and it's on the wagu beef hot dog! They weren't kidding cause after we had beer and hot dog we bought a small tub of it.. I don't like a lot of people's pimento cheese but there's was awesome! We sat outside in covered patio and Bree came out to check on us and asked if we wanted the gas lit in the fir pit table.. it was cool and wet out so yes please!! Everyone was local that night but us and they were all so nice and we had great time! Those 2 ladies will get you what you need !! Go see them a great local brew in destin!“
“This is a great place to go have a few beers and a nice dinner, we went there 3 times while in Destin. We enjoyed the steak frites, fish tacos and truffle fries and the service was good too. They are very dog friendly which was a plus for us since we had our dog with us!“
“This place was the BEST FIND! We are from out of town and my son and I stopped in for a shake before I figured out what to do for the rest of the day. First of all, the brownie batter shake was delicious! They even had teas for kids, which my four year old loved. Furthermore, the staff was incredibly friendly. We ended up staying for over an hour talking to the staff, who gave me recommendations for the rest of our day. They had a perfect play area for kids too and my son had a blast playing while I chatted to the owner and her very talented barista best friend who was inventing some very impressive, colorful teas. The service was fantastic and the drinks were phenomenal. Overall, this was a great establishment and I highly recommend you stop in and say hi to the ladies at Ocean City Nutrition!“
“I usually get the blackened mahi-mahi… it IS the best around, but everything I have ordered is wonderful. This is one of my favorite spots in Niceville and it’s the perfect place to watch the sunset.Great atmosphere, great view, great service, great food, great drinks.“
“A pretty good place to chill in my opinion. We went there to have a few drinks and a bit to eat. I had the burger and it was pretty good. You can hang out inside or outside (highly recommend outside) they have live music and you can order food whether you are inside or outside. Would go again.“
“My partner and I went to this awesome restaurant for breakfast. It has outdoor seating too, even though the place was packed still everyone was getting their food on time so kudos to the staff and service.We had white mocha coffee, caramel macchiato ( better than starbucks ), french toast & avocado toast and everything was tasty.Overall it's a must visit place for breakfast and highly recommended.“
“If I could do 10 STARS I would. Hailey and I had an amazing conversation today, and I am so happy to have met her. We need more people like Hailey. She works hard, and she deeply cares about her work and you can see it. My daughter turned 14 today, and she helped me tremendously as not just a baker, but as a new friend to make my daughter’s birthday special. Please go in and visit her!! She is the bombdiggity!!!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️“
Brunch • $
“There was nothing about our visit here that didn’t exceed expectations. The food was delicious- we preferred the Jack Benny over the Breakfast Wrap but both were delicious and they had great coffee. Our server, Destiny, was sweet, knowledgeable and attentive. The prices were reasonable and we enjoyed the atmosphere as well. We will be back here!“
“This is a taco truck in the parking lot of Beach Weekend pontoon rental located on hwy98 across from Captain D's.I like trying "new to me" authentic dishes. I ordered the Quesabirria tacos. Very good beef and trimmings along with the stew is amazing! I got the spicy salsa and wow! I still want to try the hot as well though just to try its flavor.Please visit this truck, you will not be disappointed! Very friendly staff, accepts cash or card. I believe this is my go to and no more than two blocks from the hacienda! I definitely tip my sombrero to the family recipe and the cook that makes it happen. Well done!!“
“While visiting I try to always eat local and stay away from chain restaurants. This place is amazing. We ate inside but you can drive thru the building place your food and beer order. The burrito with beef and shrimp was very flavorful. I do feel they were stuffed just a bit too much because they exploded out the other end and I ended up eating it all with a fork because I couldn't get my mouth around it all and very messy. That being said because it was so good will definitely recommend and return. We stoped on a Thursday for lunch and they remained steady with business even after 1. Staff was very friendly.“
“Definitely worth the price for the all you can eat crabs during the day. Dinner gets more expensive than it's worth though. Service seemed a bit overwhelmed but still friendly at night. Food was definitely better prepared during day than at night. Was torn between 3 and 4 stars but the friendliness of the nighttime manager won me over. She was lovely and accommodating.“
“Definitely a more upscale dining place, as evidenced by valet parking. For the price, food was okay with value. I thought what I ordered would be a large plate of food but it was much smaller than I expected. Think I paid $140 for just two people. For what I got, I think $80 would have been fair. Decent place overall though.“
“the food is delicious! authentic and perfect steak and pulled pork with the salsa options on real street tacos and the shrimp ceviche tostada was fresh and satisfying. kid approved as well for our vegetarian daughter with an impressive number of vegetarian options. It was so good and so worth it for the drive to eat some REAL food!“
“We love a fresh tasting acai bowl any time of the year! Best place to get it at. When it's crowded it can be a wait to order and get ur bowl but so worth it. We love the local bowl with light granola since I share with my son. Cute spot to hang out when it's not crowded.“
“Pictures do not do justice on how great this place is. I think it was nice to see that each drink/food truck was separated. I think the plants make the place even better! They even have comfy chairs! I will definitely be coming here again when I visit this area. I hope yall have more business and a successful year!“
“Fresh, tasty and quick. Priced well and good service. We had a combo of burritos, quesadillas and tacos with our 8 person crew. Everything was great and everyone was happy, which is hard. You can't go wrong with anything on the menu. Will definitely be back!“
Ice Cream Shop • $
“Went here after dinner with the family. My little girl dropped her ice cream and was very upset. Was planning on buying another cone for her, but the ladies inside replaced it for free. This kind of service is deserving of a 5-star from me! Thank you!“
“?????? Great food!! Amazing service!! Especially you should try chef Ersen's lahmacun (Turkish pizza) ???!! And of course pitta bread yummy yummy yummy !! BREAD+BUTTER!!It's a GREAT place, you should definitely visit, it's a small, cute place with food that really makes you feel like it was touched by Mother's Hand!! Mr. Emin conquered us with his humble and warm welcome!! Thank you ???“
“Bobby and LaKeisha do a fantastic job. They know their beer. They remember their customers even when the customers don’t remember being there. ?. True story - she remembered everything I told her. Friendly and casual. Sports shown outside on the wall of a building!!“
“Sorry no pictures I ordered Chipotle chicken tacos to go. Yummy tacos and their chips and salsa were also very tasty. The chips were light and crunchy! The taco's were packed with shredded chicken with a yummy sauce on them.Tasty eats for cheap!!! I definitely will go next time I'm in town!!“
“As a beer connoisseur, we love to try breweries when we travel. Plenty of parking with no charge, which is something to say for this area. The atmosphere has got a classy feel with a tinge of sports with all the TVs. One difference from other breweries is that this is a restaurant also. We didn’t go for the food, but the aroma was a nice addition for the visit. We went during happy hour and the got 2 flights for $5 each. Can’t beat that. Had just been to margaritaville, previously and paid more than $10 for a small draught beer. There were so many choices for sitting; at the bar, outside, upstairs, downstairs, all with its own feel. The beer was on par with a wide variety of choices from Hefeweizen to stouts to seltzers and sours. Of the 8 beers in our flights there wasn’t one that I wouldn’t order again. Very enjoyable visit and highly recommended!!! The server was very attentive during our visit. Got a free sticker for my beer fridge at home. This brewery is worth a repeat visit while we are here.Parking: Handicap parking available“
“We loved the folks at IWC! Azro, Joey, and a brand new gal were all wonderful and made us feel like locals. Azro was wonderful with telling us some cool local sightseeing spots and was so patient with us as we sat outside with our dog and waited for a few hours before we could get into our AirBnB. Yes! They are dog friendly on the patio. They even have a healthy dinner menu for dogs and brought out a fresh bowl of water for our pup!They were all so wonderful that we went back a second time to watch some of March Madness.The bartenders make stellar drinks and the happy hour food seriously cannot be beat for size and price. The drinks are half off during happy hour and they even offer happy hour during the weekends. Can’t say enough good things about IWC in Destin!Kid-friendliness: Very kid friendly“
“Great place for unique donuts. We tried several varieties, and were impressed by each and every one of them.Parking was on the side street, and was confusing for half a second.Definitely get the peanut butter cup donut, and the sandy beach. Very good.Service was good and friendly.“
“My sister and I stumbled upon this place our last day in Florida. We had the pleasure of meeting both Ann and Terry! Not only was this candy amazing but, Ann and Terry were two of the most kind hearted people that we could have met. Definitely recommend stopping by!“
“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.“
“The food was great. Very flavorful, true to menu description, easy. The portions were perfect as to not have any leftovers. The price was awesome! We went late in the afternoon and it wasn’t crowded at all. The food came out promptly and they served us at an outside venue with a cute view. It was fun except they forgot the ranch we asked for.“
“I ordered the blackened Red Snapper and it was pretty good. The sauce on The Penne Chicken pasta was just exquisite though!!!! We went 2 nights ago, and we are all going back again tonight to try and share more things! Everyone Said the Margherita Pizza was very flavorful. The fried chicken app had lots of flavor! The sauce was pleasant, battered perfectly fries, and tender meat inside. Survive was decent but we did show up late so maybe that's was why. Seemed like they needed another person in the kitchen cooking though. Either way, im going to eat here anytime im close on our future trips!“
“I finally came and tried this food after hearing about how good it was from my local friends. I am happy to hear that this was opened up from a local. I heard a lot in advance and I’ll be honest, it fulfilled my expectations and THEN SOME. I had teriyaki chicken and steak, but I LOVED the chicken the most. I had rice because I love rice but the macaroni salad was surprisingly tasty when I didn’t want to like it. The chicken was very flavorful. I felt like this would be a great place to get a healthy option of fast food Togo. The service was friendly and fast. The restaurant was very clean. The only thing people in my party said negatively was “I WISH there was one in Fort Walton Beach”. I’m sure it won’t be long! Great food and location. I’ll visit again when I am back in town.“
