A great place to go that seems to be more of a regular place for the locals even though it's attached to a hotel. Perhaps it's because it is just slightly off the beat and path and maybe because we are a just a little bit off season. Anyway, it was a late night after driving into town so we only had sandwiches. The sandwiches were very good. A couple of us had the mahi mahi sandwiches and they were excellent and would definitely be an encouragement to try a seafood dinner there one evening. The waitress was very friendly, prompt, and attentive. The place was clean. read more

My wife and I went here for dinner the day before. The hours on the door state they are open from 11am-2am. We arrived at 4:30pm for an early dinner. After we were seated we were told they were closed from 3pm-5pm. This is not stated anywhere. But we were told it was needed to prep for dinner. So we came back the next day. We arrived at 5pm. Placed drink orders. We were then told they had not marinara sauce and therefore no pizza. The reason we went was for pizza. We were told it would take half an hour to make marinara sauce. We ordered beef nachos until the pizza was ready. The nachos were horrible. The beef was a chopped up hamburger and had very little queso, which was under everything. The pizza was really good. There is a sign on the door stating they are understaffed so be kind to the ones we have. I did feel sorry for the staff. They were working hard and sweating. We had to wait for the pizza but people who didn't get pizza waited over 45 minutes for food. read more

Cabana Cafe - Beef Nachos - New American Near Me - Miramar Beach, Florida

Stopped for donuts during our stay at Ariel Dunes, because it was convenient. $23 for a dozen seemed pricey, but I figured everything's more expensive in Destin, being a tourist area. The next day, we went to Donut Hole which is very close by...paid $10 for better donuts. Enough said. This place is overpriced, despite the convenience factor. read more

We ordered sweet potato fries with cilantro dip, crab chowder, and beef nachos and it was great! The nachos had a white queso sauce which was nice. The crab chowder was very tasty but my personal preference is a creamy soup and this had lots of chunks of potato and corn, etc., just fyi. read more

We were hoping for a great food experience based on the previous reviews, save your money for someplace else, nothing real special about this place. But the service and the live music was good. read more

Horrible service. The host knew nothing, and confused every guest. The one server that was available was great. Food was mediocre.

Good god. This is some of the worst food and service I've ever had. Took 45 minutes to get my food but the table next to me got their pizza in under ten minutes. Not to mention the live music was both horrible and ear splittingly loud. I can't wait to forget about this horrible meal and experience. read more

This is a surprisingly good hole in the wall of seascape resort - the ambience is not pretty - kind of sports bar but you do look out at a pool. Anyway the pizzas in a wood fired oven - fantastic - our girls love the sweet potato fries (they are good) and overall we've had probably a dozen meals here and never been disappointed. Prices are great and the service friendly. I say go for it. read more

Tasty food. Good variety in the menu. Good service. Close to the beach. Live music every night. Would recommend to folks visiting Destin. read more

Waited 15 minutes for someone to acknowledge that we were there. Then she said I'll be with you in a minute. 5 minutes later she came out and we asked how long it might take to get some food to which she rudely replied I have no idea. Screw em. They'll be out of business soon. read more

Restaurant located in the lobby of a multilevel condo complex, plenty of parking during lunchtime, plenty of tables too, got seated right away. No crowds at lunchtime on a weekend, not a good sign. Service was slow, drinks took close to 10 mins to arrive, and the place was 95% empty, only 2 tables had customers and I was one of them. Waitress looked like she forgot since i saw her do a double-take when she saw our table after some time. Food took 20 mins to arrive after putting in order and all we ordered was a sandwich, salad & pasta dish. Food quality was average. Had Cuban sandwich, good thin crust loaded with meat, hand-made chips were very crispy. Shrimp scampi with linguini was typical, as was salad. Overall nothing really extraordinary. No complaints (or kudos) about food, but with long wait times, this place stood out for the wrong reasons. read more

We come here every year when we visit the beaches of Florida. I can't believe no one has mentioned the pizzas on here they are soooo good. If your in this area check th out if pizza isn't your thing my second favorite is the fish taco wrap so good. read more

Cabana Cafe - The pepperoni pizza with some black olives and feta cheese yummy - New American Near Me - Miramar Beach, Florida

What's amazing about this is where it is hidden! It is in the same "condo campus" of Majestic Sun, SeaSurf and Ariel dunes. In fact this is at the ground floor of Ariel Dunes. The atmosphere here is very local; even though all tourists from the condos make it here on their first night to try out. Nice live music! Definitely the highlight for the experience. "Cabana Boy" a must for mixed drinks lovers. We loved the fried shrimp appetizer with Blazing Asian sauce. Good nothing special or eclectic but overall good, a little too bland for my taste. Most tables are a tad too dark in lighting. One side has a pool view. Overall, a good place for a decent meal with good drinks and lovely live music! read more

Cabana Cafe - New American Near Me - Miramar Beach, Florida

The music is great if you are 60yrs or older. The menu is completely void of any options for gluten free food other than a salad. Food intolerances aside I was extremely disappointed by the weak amateur menu. It looked very poor. Considering the beautiful condos that house this cafe it seems like a slap in the face. I have uploaded pics of the menu. :-) The Turkey Club on wheat wrap was good and tasty. The fries that came with it were pretty good. The White Zen was good. The chef salad was large and tasted good as well. read more

Used to be a daily regular at Cabana! Id give it zero stars if possible horrible staff, rude managers and just all around lazy people if you want to wait 2 hours for a wendys quality burger go to cabana! They made my order incorrect and left it sitting waiting after it was remade for 10 minutes to see if anyone would bring it to me no one did so I got a refund. never will I ever spend another dime here! read more

We felt discriminated. The girl with the pink hair whispered and gave us a death stare while she took our order. The Brad Pitt wannabe bartender was also extremely rude. It was obvious because we watched how they treated others. Went there twice, both times same experience. We ate there only because we stayed in ariel dunes, the food was alright but we were extremely hungry from swimming. I will NEVER go there again. By far the worst customer service in all of Destin. read more

Best tuna sashimi ever with a ginger crust. Very good service. Nothing to complain at all. Thanks read more

When we first walked in I thought this would be just another Hotel restaurant with bland food. It was a Hotel restaurant but the food was not bland and the service was great. What really stood out was the waitress never wrote down our order. She remembered everyones order along with the add ons and the take offs. We were a party of 7. Seven difficult and picky women. The only bad thing i could say about our visit was the seating was very cramped and right on top of the stage. read more

Better than we expected. Great place to eat, family atmosphere. Pizza was good, mozzarella sticks were great. Sweet tea was the best I had all week. read more

if you wanna wait 30 minutes after you've ordered to order a drink come to this fantastic restaurant

I was skeptical about this place at first but it turned out to be my favorite spot all vacation! Great great pizza and the live music was amazing! read more

We came back after our 1st trip here last year. Both times the food and service was great. We had shrimp alfredo, chicken alfredo, bbq nachos, and philly French dip. We were very fully and the flavors were spot on. read more

Service was awful. During the whole meal, we were checked on maybe twice. Food took over twenty minutes without an apology or explanation. When the waitress finally came around, she checked on everyone as if she was playing duck duck goose, "Be with you in a minute, be with you in a minute, be with you in a minute." In addition to the bad service, the food was nothing to look forward to eating again, especially for the prices. read more

My friends and I decided order take-out here since we were living in the condos that were connected to this building. We ordered over the phone(three separate orders for 6 ppl) and were told it would be a 40 minute wait, so we waited about 35 minutes and then headed over to pick up our food. When we got there, the hostess charged all of our cards and informed us that it would be another 10 minutes, so we sat in the front and waited. We weren't in a hurry or anything so we just talked and chilled in the front for about 30-35 min, before we decided to check and see if our food was done yet. When I went up to ask the hostess a second time, she told me "it'll be here soon" without even looking up from what she was doing. My friends and I figured that they had forgotten about our order and probably just starting cooking our food when we went in to pay for it, so we decided to give them about 10 more minutes(since they had originally told us 40 min over the phone). After almost 1 1/2 hrs of waiting and asking about our food THREE more times(the workers and manager seemed like they could care less), we finally got our food. The cherry to top of our less than wonderful experience? The food wasn't even that great...my fish was way overcooked and everyone else agreed that the food was definitely not worth the wait. I understand that they probably don't worry too much about customers returning, since majority of their customers are tourists visiting from other states, but at least PRETEND to care when you have customers who waited over 2 hrs for food that they already paid for. read more

Shared the cabana salad with shrimp with my hubby and ordered the grouper meal as well. It was just ok this time. It was overly priced and I wasn't as impressed with the toppings on the salad. I wanted to pick up from here out of sheer convenience to our condo, but I'm not in a rush to go back. read more

Best local pub great food great employees and great owner Wayne a must stop and eat along with great drinks

Ok, so I'm a local and there is this girl named Alli working here, and speaking as an experienced bartender, this girl is awesome. She's young, beautiful, smart, multitasking and spunky. I've never been this impressed on the opposite side of the bar. Props to you love, keep it up! read more

Great locals place but all welcome. Good prices not crazy tourist prices. Some nights have music. Open till 2:30. Fresh food not frozen. Pizza is great. read more

Worst dining experience ever. We were the very first party of 7 for the dinner service. waited 2 hours and still no food. We were the second party to get up and leave. manager was an absolute joke. you have been warned. read more

They have breakfast buffet on Saturdays and Sundays but I didn't eat here. I ordered coffee to go.Their coffee is made to order and the service is prompt. I liked the coffee here better than Bad Ass Coffee a few blocks down. They also have a small little ice cream section which serves marble slab ice cream with all the fixings. There is also a small wall of t-shirts, swim suits and toiletries if you don't to go all the way out of the condo. They open at 8 am and close at 2am. read more

Just walked in and I like it. Great hospitality. Feel like a local. Bartender Ellie, since I have to babble a bit more is amazing. Ordered wings. Will report on dat shortly. Golf tee? Yes. read more

Love love love this place! Food was great portions were insanely huge! And the live music was amazinggggg!

The wife and I hit this place for dinner and it is great. I had the tuna sashimi and she had a burger. Everything was great. Much better than we expected for a vacation location. Give them a try. read more

One of the best hidden spots in the area. Food is great (try the fish tacos) and the staff is the best. You have to try this place.

Great music by Sputzy!! Food was mediocre at best. Get someone with a passion for food and you'd have a gold mine. People were dancing and having fun but the food was just ok.zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz read more

We would not have tried this place if it were not for Yelp, but we are so glad we did. We went twice while we were on vacation and everything was fantastic both times. I had the grilled mahi-mahi sandwich on homemade bread with a house salad that was fantastic. We also had the fried fish taco wrap that was really good. The Asian glazed shrimp appetizer was delicious and a huge portion. read more

We had dinner here around 10pm on a Sunday. Place was kind of empty so we got kind of concerned about our decision but decided to stay...and we are glad we did! I had the philly sliders and fries...and my husband had the "build your own quesadilla"...both were very good! Food came out very promptly! The waitress Trisha was very sweet and attentive! The live music was amazing! Kind of soulful/blues/country..amazing voices! read more

Food was good, service not so much. Also we waited 45 min for our food. I would probably not come back again.
