You cant run a restaurant when you walk in 5 mins before opening and turn on the stove. Its called prep work. This is disappointing to say the lease Sticky bun pretty good. Light med dark roasts coffee real good. Packed with people at opening so this is a popular place but I'm not sure why....... as no food was being served as the "kitchen is just warming up!" SMH!

My son and I check out of our hotel and needed spot to for breakfast. Our target? A charming little…read morecafé that looked like it had big dreams and about 85% of the throw pillows to prove it. We grabbed seats at the bar--prime real estate for both people-watching and silent negotiations with the universe about how long coffee should take to arrive. The menu got a thorough inspection while we waited. And waited. Not a hostile wait. More like... a polite standoff between us and the concept of service. Eventually, victory. Orders placed. I went all in: biscuits and sausage gravy, eggs over easy, maple bacon--the kind of breakfast that doesn't whisper "good morning," it kicks the door in and demands respect. My son went classic with French toast and sausage, a choice that says, "I trust the fundamentals." Now, let's talk ambiance. Coffee in paper cups. Not a dealbreaker, but it does send a subtle message: "We're still figuring some things out." The interior felt like a Pinterest board mid-argument--close, but not quite ready for the reveal episode. Service? Nice. Professional. Also slightly resembling a live-action game of pinball. Our waitress was great, but the overall flow had a certain freestyle jazz quality--improvised, energetic, and occasionally confusing. Refills were more of a "self-reflection exercise" than an offered service, so ordering extra water was a tactical masterstroke. But then... the food arrived. And just like that, all sins were forgiven. That biscuit and sausage gravy? Absolute bullseye. The kind of dish that makes you pause mid-bite and question whether your childhood memories have been quietly outperformed. It didn't just taste homemade--it tasted like someone's mom was in the back, judging everyone and getting it right. The French toast held its own--golden, solid, no nonsense. Exactly what it needed to be. So here's the deal: the service may have been running a little behind the breakfast parade, but the food? Leading the band, confetti cannon and all. Final verdict: 4 stars. Not because it couldn't be 5--but because it's this close. Tighten up the service, ditch the paper cups, finish decorating like you mean it, and you've got a heavyweight contender. Until then, it remains a gem--slightly unpolished, but absolutely worth the stop.

I ordered one of the most expensive dishes on the menu $29.99 and he ordered a $15.99 coconut chicken salad along with two diet cokes. When we got the check they had calculated the check with a 20% service charge. We asked what it was and was told it was 16% for her and 4% for the kitchen. Nothing based on the service or how good the food was an automatic 20%. No warning at all! As they were seating, another customer that server said have you been to the boathouse before and the customer said yes. So she stated you are aware of the service charge then. The customer said yes. Maybe us saying something about it is why she said that, not sure, but we were never informed and we've never had that explained to us before either.

I'll be honest--when we pulled up to Basil & Baxter's Kitchen for a group dinner, I had no idea…read morewhat to expect. From the outside, the place looks small and quite unassuming. But as the saying goes: never judge a book by its cover. We were absolutely blown away by the experience. Despite the modest exterior, the food is nothing short of world-class. I ordered the ribeye, and it was cooked to absolute perfection--tender, flavorful, and easily one of the best steaks I've had in a long time. Since we were a large group, we ended up ordering a significant portion of the menu. Between us, we tried the fish, shrimp, and various pasta plates. It felt like we sampled almost everything they offer, and every single dish was an absolute hit. It's rare to find a place where the entire table is equally impressed with their meal, but Basil & Baxter's pulled it off effortlessly. Beyond the incredible kitchen, the service was outstanding. The staff was attentive, welcoming, and handled our group with the kind of professionalism that makes a night out feel special. If you're in Niceville, do not pass this place up. It might look humble from the street, but the flavors and hospitality inside are massive. We will definitely be back!

Due to the heat, we asked to be seated inside, though the patio was quite large. The staff was so, so kind and accommodating. I can't have gluten and asked about specific menu items that would be okay. Anything fried is in shared oil with breaded items, so there's a risk of cross contamination. The waiter recommended the shrimp boil as an option, and oh my gosh. It was SO good. My husband and mom each had a hamburger. My aunt had the redfish, and my dad had the Reuben. All of our food was excellent. My meal took the longest to eat since I had to peel my shrimp. I wouldn't mind sitting outside once the weather cools off a bit. This was a terrific suggestion from my aunt! Also, you can buy t-shirts for $20 each. We got ours. We will definitely be back!

First off, new location right outside Eglin AFB, next to Domino's. I was intrigued by the reviews…read moreof this place describing the donuts as "light" and basically the best ever. I got these donuts a bit before 8:30am, and I'm certain that they would have tasted better if I had come earlier so take the following with a grain of salt: The sprinkles donut with a kind of red glaze (which I think is just a normal white glaze with food coloring because it didn't have any particular flavor) was unpleasant because the glaze broke off into pieces when I bit into it. Crusty isn't something I look for in a donut, LOL. The apple fritter is large with a tiny apple filling in comparison, but that didn't bother me because the fritter was thick and doughy and plenty sweet, tasting just like Cinnamon Toast Crunch. The chocolate eclair was nothing to write home about, with chocolate glaze that tasted cheap and a bland filling whose only redeeming quality was that it was a welcome break from the sweetness. There is definitely a STAR in this place, and that's the humble and unassuming original glazed donut. The simple powdered sugar glaze is slathered on light and looks sloppy and uneven - which I love because it's just proves it's not your regular chain-store yummy. The dough itself is mildly sweet, and the lingering taste is that of dough fried in fresh oil, reminiscent of something you'd get at a fair/carnival or like those small, sugared donuts you find at some Chinese buffets. I would go back and get the get the glazed again. That's the reason for the four stars! Whatever you choose to sample at this place, make sure you get one or two of the original glazed ones!
