Crackings was a great breakfast stop in Destin!…read more There was a bit of a wait, but since it was just the two of us, we grabbed seats at the bar, which is first come, first served. It ended up being the perfect spot. The atmosphere is cozy and welcoming, and I absolutely loved the coffee mugs--they were so cute that I would've bought one if they had been for sale! We kept breakfast simple with eggs, bacon, potatoes, and grits. We had actually meant to order the lobster grits, but somehow ended up with the regular grits instead. No complaints, though--they were really good, and as a Southern girl, I know not everyone gets grits right. The service was friendly, the food was delicious, and we'd definitely come back the next time we're in Destin.

I was fork ready when I returned to my room and forget to capture footage of the pretty pie. It was so delicious.

We arrived later in the…read moreday after dinner, so pickings on the pastries was slim, but they still had a decent amount of donuts to choose from. Decided on a 6 pack with glazed, chocolate coconut x 2, sprinkles, chocolate glazed x 2. They were placed in a bag rather than box (I should have said something!) so of course the chocolate ended up on the bag and the other donuts. Luckily the donuts were good, though! Also ordered a slice of key lime pie (a must!) and a slice of a chocolate/vanilla cake (moist and perfect if you can't decided if you want a slice of chocolate or vanilla cake!). In addition to pastries, they also ordered food (mainly looked like breakfast and brunch), which looked delicious. If we had more time in Destin, would definitely stop by again for a meal.

He really liked it, but it's already cracked, which is unfortunate. We will definitely come back here the next time we're in the area.

We will definitely be back next time we are in town

On the main road here in Destin…read more The music sounds clubby inside. Considered the crab croissant, but the pics on here didn't look so good and the croissant didn't look golden brown or flaky, like I tend to favor. We ordered the spicy carb scramble, cup of coconut grits, iced coffee, less whipped cream, jerk chicken basket, island burger and Blue Mahoe beer. $51.71 for everything except the island burger and the Blue Mahoe beer. The iced coffee comes topped with whipped cream, it's mixed with chocolate. It's obviously very chocolatey as a result of the added chocolate. The Blue Mahoe beer is made with mango, it's different for sure. The base of the beer tastes like a Blue Moon, maybe. Shows mango cart on the cocktail menu, no idea what a mango cart means though. Service was good, although our waitress seemed like she might be new since she didn't know the specifics of the menu items. Not sure why I was thinking the jerk chicken would not be on the bone, so that made it a bit messier than planned. The island burger is spicy, my FIL enjoyed it. The spicy crab scramble was good. Could have better jam to go with the toast, the grape jelly didn't look anything like a jelly and was quite runny for my toast at least. The mixed berry was a bit thicker for spreading. The coconut grit was quite creamy, just a very subtle coconut flavor. The jerk chicken sauce is super flavorful and quite good. The cabbage slaw on the side was bland and seemed like an afterthought to me. The fries were partly over fried and as if the oil had saturated into a few of the fries to make them look translucent even. Still overall a nice lunch.

When I'd gotten back to the hotel I was irritated, because they didn't provide me any syrup. Needless to say, I didn't need the syrup, there were some preserves/ jelly included and it was amazing. They were perfectly cooked and they tasted amazing. The omelets were huge and they have these breakfast fries that were seasoned to perfection. All in all, I see why they had a long wait and line out the door. Next time we come, I'll definitely come early enough to eat inside.

For entrees I got the Crab Stuffed Shrimp and my husband got the Fish Trio (cannot exactly remember the full name) - we both got twice backed potato and green beans. The Crab Stuffed Shrimp was phenomenal. I loved my plate and sides. My husband said his tuna steak was overcooked but otherwise the fish was really good. He tried a bite of my shrimp though and said he would get my dish instead next time. I got a margarita (was on happy hour) and my husband got a strawberry daiquiri. 0/10 recommend. Both were not good. Very watered down tasting. We got there at 3p and it was packed but we were seated immediately and had all of our food within 10-15 minutes. Super quick service. Our waitress was very nice! When we left around 4p, there was a wait out the door.

While staying in Destin, we wanted to try a breakfast place we haven't tried when we visited a year…read moreago. This place came up and we decided to go here one morning. It was confusing at first because on GPS it says breakfast table then Red Rooster Cafe when we get there. Hence the old Jeep in the front. We go in and wait to be seated. The inside to me kinda felt like I was in someone's house with all the old furniture, I thought it was cool. We were seated pretty quickly and took sometime to order off the menu. I got a Bacon, Medium eggs and toast plate with a side of fruit while my friend got hash browns with a biscuit. The breakfast was pretty filling and they actually made some pretty good coffee although I loaded mine with creamer. Our server was totally awesome and was cool about me asking for a to go box so I can feed my bread scraps to the seagulls. I think he told us where to go and what beach and they actually fly up to us. That was cool to engage in conversation with him. This would definitely be a great place to return to.

The gelato and sorbetto flavors were good. I liked my choice of Blood Orange. It was refreshing and delicious. The Mango flavor was good as well. We had a good experience here.
