“This is such an incredible place!! Food is amazing, prices are very reasonable. Food portions are huge. Shrimp ? is so good, BBQ beans are best I've ever had!! Chicken tacos ? are amazing as well. Don't let the line out the door deture you cause it's well worth the wait!! And you get food quickly after ordering. Will always stop her when we're in Florida.“
“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!“
“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.“
“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.“
“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“
“This place has the best Thai options in the area. Soooo good. It’s my new favorite place for Thai. The service was excellent too, but the music was a little annoying. Regardless, I’d sit through music I don’t like to experience the food.Vegetarian options: Just ask for not meat.“
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)!“
“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“
“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.“
“I honestly miss living in FL and having their subs for lunch. Still to this day I am craving the delishness (is that even a word lol???) they create 'like art.' We are visiting again in June.... bet I know where I will be headed.... WOOT WOOT!!“
“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!“
“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!“
“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!“
“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!!!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️“
“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.“
“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.“
“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!“
“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.“
“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.“
“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!“
“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.“
“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!!“
“This was the first brewery I decided to check out in the area while I was out here for work. It's tucked away down a side street, but pretty convenient to get to it seemed. The woman behind the counter was extremely nice and legitimately seems to care about who patrons the place. The brewery itself was pretty cozy, going for an aviation theme, which makes sense with the Air Force base basically next door (explains the military discount they offer on Tuesdays as well). They had just opened the actual brewery equipment area in the back for guests and have corn hole back there and a few other board games to choose from. Seemed like a place for regulars to come to. Everyone at the bar seemed to know each other and the bartender. But it was also inviting to a non-local which usually isn't the case, so that was really cool of them. There's a good variety of beers to choose from with a bit of an emphasis on lighter styles/IPAs which is a-ok in my book with the heat Florida has to offer. The regular blonde was pretty standard, an easy drinker. I did sample the blood orange blonde as well, but it was very fruit forward and the small glass I had had orange residue after I finished. The blueberry Pilsner was also super fruit forward but I could appreciate them not lacking on the flavor for that one since I'm a sucker for blueberry beers. Overall cool little spot in an area without a lot of choices for breweries. It sounded like they were trying to make plans to do more with the space too, so I'd be excited to see what they come up with as time goes on.“
“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!“
“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.“
“Last minute decision to try out after a great experience with Rick’s in FWB. Tough to pick which is our favorite. Service, food (wings, salad, fish tacos), and drinks were top notch. And let’s not forget the great prices for this area! You have two locals that will be calling any Rick’s location our fav!“
