Chocolate lovers dream!! I got a waffle cone with scoops of "chocolate raspberry truffle" and "death by chocolate" each. The ice cream was fresh, smooth, and delicious. I don't have the right words to express how tasty it was. And the scoops were the size of something in between mango and apple. So two scoops were almost the size of 1 big pomegranate. And it was around $6 only. If you love ice cream as I do, please visit this place. You won't regret it. read more

Service was great, product was delicious, and they were friendly and speedy with our order. This will sound silly, but the ice cream was so good, I would skip the extra Reece's pieces next time so I could savor the flavor. Will be back! read more

Must have in destin this is the best ice cream in the area this will be a must have on every stop here read more

Bruster's Real Ice Cream - Banana split - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Destin, Florida

I don't eat ice cream very often especially with hot fudge but Bruster's was a real treat! Loved the little tiki umbrella picnic tables. This photo was taken during our visit in October when the weather was still quite warm so I'm not sure if they take down the outdoor decor during the winter months. The ice cream was smooth and creamy and they were very generous with the peanut butter cups piled under the fresh whipped cream. My husband skipped dessert and went straight for the chili cheese dogs which required about 10,000 napkins but he said it was a pretty tasty dog! Heard that the warm apple dumpling and ice cream is a fan favorite as well so I'm sure we will be back. The staff was very friendly and followed standard Covid safety protocols. read more

The $10 milkshake lasted two people four days, and was delicious each and every day! The customer service was helpful, friendly, and patient with us while we decided what we wanted, even though there was a line behind us. read more

I been waiting in line for 45 minutes for some mid ice cream. The boys working the store acting like they don't care. Just taking their time and not trying to work fast while the line is a mile long. read more

Most over priced ice cream ever. Yes it is fresh but it has the consistency of soft serve, yuck. Ordered the peanut butter chocolate with Buckeye and only had three, little peanut butter nuggets. Not worth the $7. read more

I NEVER betray 31 flavors (Baskin-Robbins) when it comes to Mint chocolate chip ice cream but the Only shop in Destin is a horrible place so I swallowed my pride , came here. In a blindfolded test, if I had a scoop of your mint chocolate chip, it would taste like regular chocolate chip ice cream. There was not one ounce of Mint flavor; just green food coloring. Disappointed. I guess I'll go tolerate the horrible staff at BR. Woe is me, eh? read more

We went there and my mom got some Oreo ice cream that's was like shaved ice and had no flavor my mom went to tell them and they started laughing at her and saying there is nothing they can do about it. BAD CUSTOMER SERVICE!!! Nice vibe though.! read more

Our daughter rarely gets to enjoy ice cream. she has multiple food allergies including milk and coconut. Bruster's features multiple oat milk ice creams! They answered all our allergy related questions when ordering. They tasted great. The standard ice creams were tasty too! read more

The truffle raspberry ice cream was something to die for. It's really good and great value

The whole family came here for some ice cream while on vacation and their portions are big. Everything tasted amazing!

The Chocolate Peanut Butter Buckeye flavor is a must. I went for it as a sundae with whipped cream, real hot fudge, and a cherry on top. If you live close to Brusters be careful because this could be an addictive habit. The chocolate ice cream base isn't too rich and the generous chunks of peanut butter and mini peanut butter cups were a perfect compliment. Seriously tasty. We also got an Oreo cake to try out later tonight. It must be cheat day! read more

Terrible service! Was a big fan but not going there again! Waited forever with one guy working the window. No one at the other window. At least 15 people in line and two people were in the back not helping. One girl talking on the phone the other scrubbing a grill or something... So bad! This was approximately May 9th, '23 Judy R read more

Delicious!!! Really amazing ice cream - delicious flavors and creamy texture. The mango dragonfruit sorbet was so fresh, bright, and delicious! The sea salt caramel ice cream had huge veins of caramel running through it and was soo rich. My daughter loved her m&m blast stuffed full of candy and huge. Such great flavor selections - and did I say how huge the servings are?! A small is 2 scoops. Can't get enough of this place. read more

So delicious totally do this stop! I never usually let my kids get the gross cotton candy ice cream that you find at regular stores but the one here at Brewster's is delicious! My other son got cake batter again, delicious not artificial tasting at all. This place is totally legit. read more

The turtle fudge sundae is GLORIOUS with salted caramel ice cream. So is the strawberry shortcake. It's HUGE. Definitely can be split by 2 people. I just LOVE this place. I don't know how anyone could have a bad experience other than the line can get a lil Long in the summer. read more

Honest to goodness real ice cream. Reminded me of some of the very, very best I've ever had. Started our visit with some tasty samples - Cherry Vanilla was my fave of these: very creamy, smooth, solid vanilla flavor with cheerful chunks of sweet cherry. The Butter Pecan was creamy, smooth, sweet, and loaded with enormous pecans. It was not like other companies' ice cream (& believe me, we've had more than our share); it was absolutely delicious with nuts as big as they get. I truly have never seen or tasted another ice cream with as generous a portion of "add-ins." Truly, every bite had at least one or two full pieces. But how about my all-time favorite, chocolate? Oh my! It too, was creamy, smooth, & satisfyingly sweet. The flavor was very much like an honest-to-goodness, deep and rich, full-flavored, lingering, tantalizing the tongue, marvelous milk chocolate (hope that doesn't sound like an oxymoron in a run on sentence). But wait, there's more...this fabulous flavor fest was choice chocolate combined with almond and coconut. Finely chopped almonds and generous pieces of coconut flakes were mixed throughout this delicious concoction, adding multiple layers of texture and flavor. To top things off, the sizes: Yuge! My "small" turned out to be two generous scoops ladled into a large waffle cone. Only drawback was that since it was so warm outside, it began to melt more quickly than I could consume it...lickety-split. (Surprising-no brain freeze from this wanton act of gobbling so much gooey goodness so quickly.) So...one quick trip to Brusters on a warm sunny day and you can sign me up for your lifetime fan club. (In fact, where have you been during my life-long, nation-wide quest for the best frozen chocolate creation?) Four solid frozen stars. (Probably would have been another star in my review if there been an indoor place to consume this delicious mixture - plus a place to wash my hands after devouring a delectable, delightful, daytime dish, aka cone.) Y'all heard Arnold say it. And I'm saying it here too, "I'll be Bach." read more

Great spot for a cold treat! The turtle sundae is super yummy! Would recommend for a fun family putting.

Definitely homemade and fun sundaes. Perfect relief on the super sunny Gulf coast. Plenty of tables and shade to relax

Great selection and delicious! Also very fast! We saw the line and thought about going elsewhere but I'm glad we didn't because they were very fast! Perfect spot for dessert after a beach day! read more

We arrived at Bruster's at 9:36pm. When we got close to the window we let a couple go in front of us bc there were several members of our family with us. When we made it to the window the blonde working told us she would only make us cones or cups bc they were closed. I told her we waited 24 minutes in a long line and it wasn't our fault it was closing time. She was the only one working the front. There was a girl in the back but she never helped wait on customers. When she refused to make a sundae, I mentioned writing a review and she mentioned yelp. How rude. She told me I was rude and she would not make what I wanted now. Is this Bruster's policy that you wait in line for 24 minutes and the employee can choose to not make what you have waited for bc it took 24 minutes to wait on other customers? Our confrontation was at 10:01 pm. This is fall break. I think 2 ppl should have been serving customers and I also want the owner/manager to know how the employee treated us. We left. We've always went to Bruster's. I doubt we will ever be back. read more

The ice cream is so amazing!! Every time I go to Trader Joe's I have to stop by to get ice cream here. I love mint and chip but they are all so good. read more

Super yummy ice cream! Old time fun at the beach:) Seems to be a the locals favorite too! read more

This is definitely the place to go if you're wanting to experience summer. It is pricey (about $7 for a sundae) so it's certainly not a place to go regularly unless you just have tons of money you're trying waste. It is a fun treat, however, and with so many options there is something for everyone. They also sell Nathan's hot dogs so if you need a quick lunch, you're in luck. They have a decent amount of tables that are shaded, although I imagine during peak season you'd be fighting for a seat. There's also a bathroom attached at the side of the building so they've got you covered there. This place is worth visiting at least once, if not for the experience alone. read more

This place is amazing. They have some of the best homemade ice cream I have ever had. The seasonal ice cream is truly delicious. I had the banana cream pie last time anD it was like heaven. The milkshakes are made to perfection and tHey actually listen and make them the way you want it. They are normally super busy but in the off season it's a slower and the lines are not as bAd. I have had sundress's, bannan n splits, and everything else. So GOOD!!!! read more

Meh. A bit disappointed. I tried white turtle and cherry vanilla. One of them had pieces of ice in it and had an odd slight grainy texture. Husband got cookie dough which seemed ok. His regular size portion seemed twice the size of mine. ‍ I'd try a few other places before giving this one another chance. read more

My boyfriend was having a rough day and had to run to fort Walton with all these tourist in town & he asked if we would want to share a ice cream cone.. I was THRILLED that my boyfriend was bringing home ice cream, we don't have sweets that often. After giving the man a tip he had asked if we could get a water cup or something to put the cone in because we drive stick shift vehicles. Long story short the employee was rude and did not try to help us in any way so my boyfriend ate the ice cream before driving back home and I Am now ICE CREAM-less!! Paid almost $10 for a treat to go wasted :( read more

I was expecting a nice icecream after dinner ! They didn't have coffee!! I was disappointed so I went for vanilla. It was too sweet for my taste and the waffle cone was not fresh. Sorry but would not go back. read more

A few years ago I had a great experience at brusters however, the last 2 times I went to brusters the customer service was terrible and they didn't have everything advertised on their menu. Unfortunately I won't be back and there are plenty of ice cream shops in Destin. read more

A fun and delicious spot to cure the Florida heat. While Bruster's is a chain, it still offers that at home vibe you find at most non chain spots. I enjoyed some of their cake batter ice cream on a warm evening and it was great. Everyone else's ice cream looked at tasted good judging from how quickly they all ate it. Definitely take some time out to stop here for a scoop or two. read more

Incredibly flavorful, rich, delicious ice cream. I absolutely love ice cream and have eaten so many places, but this was one of the best I've tasted in years. So fresh, bursting flavors. I loved Graham Central Station and Sea Salt Caramel Toffee. 5/5 recommend. read more

Ice cream was average. They do have a large selection of flavors but not enough sugar free/low sugar options, especially for it to be made on-site. Line was outrageous and wrapped around. Took forever for the employees to open up the additional window. Fair price. Nothing special. The deck has uneven boards and the space seems a bit neglected over the years (we have visited the area and go here at least once every year for the last 9 years). read more

Good quality ice creams and a good selection. Outside seating ample, but tables could use a good cleaning. Prices however are really steep. Come prepared to pay $$$. read more
