My family should have stock in the place because we plan trips around finding a First Watch nearby. This time we stayed at a hotel 100 yards away from one. As usual, it didn't disappoint. Was able to be seated quickly, food came out hot and delicious. Clean and orderly establishment. Thanks for a wonderful experience for our first time here in the sunshine state. read more

Stopped in for breakfast, but thanks to my tight schedule (and poor life planning), I only had time to experience one thing: the so-called Million Dollar Bacon. Spoiler alert -- it didn't cost a million bucks, and eating it didn't exactly make me feel like I owned a yacht... but honestly? It was still stupidly good. Perfectly cooked -- not burnt, not weirdly floppy -- just that magical middle ground where bacon becomes a personality trait. Dripping with sweet syrup and a little cayenne kick, it's the kind of flavor combo that makes you question every bad decision you've ever made (like only ordering one). I would've absolutely gone in for Round Two, but the clock said no. Life said no. My soul said yes, but nobody listens to that guy. Million dollar bacon, five-minute experience, lifelong bitterness. read more

We tried the shrimp and grits and traditional breakfast, but after trying it we weren't blown away. The wait time wasn't horrible and was within 5 minutes of the estimate given through the app!

I'm disappointed with the experience we had this morning at First Watch. Our group of 10 arrived and waited patiently to be seated. However, while we were still waiting, several smaller groups -- mostly white -- who came in after us were seated before us. When we asked the staff, we were told the kitchen was understaffed and that they were only seating smaller parties. While I understand staffing issues can happen, it was hard not to notice the pattern -- we were the only Asian group waiting, and somehow every other table that was seated ahead of us did not face the same restriction. It left us with a very uncomfortable feeling, as if we were being quietly excluded for reasons beyond staffing. Disappointed and hurt. We expected better. UPDATE after business response: Thank you for the reply, but I must clarify that what happened didn't feel like a simple staffing issue. As a group of Asian diners, we were treated differently than multiple smaller white groups who came in after us and were seated first. This was hurtful and felt discriminatory. I truly hope this is taken seriously and not brushed aside as a "misunderstanding. read more

When I was Yelping places for brunch in Destin, and knew this was our last meal before heading back to Atlanta, I decided what the hell.... I like this place because they have many options, and the food is fresh and good quality. This location has a nice patio area and our waiter was super chill and laid back, answering questions we had and being fast with service. Nothing bad to say here...5 stars! read more

BLUF: Excellent breakfast all day and delicious, fresh donuts in a diner-like atmosphere…read more My party of three arrived at The Donut Hole to a long-ish line down the ramp and I was wondering if it's worth it. It is! The Donut Hole most certainly has diner vibes and I suspect the booths are original to its 1978 origins - both of which made for a nostalgic experience. Although named for the sweet, fried confections, The Donut Hole has a huge menu of breakfast, lunch and dinner items. My table all ordered breakfast even though it was lunch time. The breakfast was awesome - omelettes, pancakes, poached eggs, cheese grits, coffee and the most delicious rye bread. I had the sausage and cheese omelet and there was something about it that made it better than other omelettes I've had. Also, I loved the rye bread - it was sliced thicker than what I am used to and it was very pillowy. I enjoyed it dry but it was also good with a little butter. We waited about 20 or so minutes for a table, but once seated we enjoyed prompt, attentive, excellent service. And's let's not forget to talk about the fresh made donuts! Oh my, there were a lot of flavors to choose from and none of them disappointed. Initially I went with a chocolate frosted and Bavarian cream filled donut. But then a fresh tray of key line donuts came out and I had to get one of those too. My sister ordered a few and we took them back to our rental, cut them in quarters and had a donut tasting party. Delicious! I am looking forward to my return trip to The Donut Hole. A visit to Santa Rosa Beach would not be complete without a stop at The Donut Hole.

Do you think I left any in my plate? no sir! Wife ordered two fried eggs that come with hash browns and biscuit and she barely finished too. Kathy was our server with a smile from ear to ear that made our day, very patient and took our order quickly and accurately. Considering the number of people in the restaurant our food came out quickly. We asked Kathy about something we saw next table and could not guess what it was on the menu. Apple fritters she said so we ordered one to go, well have it with coffee tomorrow There is a well known breakfast franchise across the highway but they are no competition to the Donut Hole, just simply there is no other place I have been in the Nation that serves as good as this and I have been to quite a few, I wish there was one near home. Place is well lit and inviting with enough personnel to tackle the crowd Place is crazy busy and when we left the line was all the way to the front porch Are we coming back? you bet we will in the week and a half we have left in Paradise.

The salad was my favorite part crazy enough. It was a tomato basil vinaigrette that was out of this world with flavor. It had a sweet base to it that brought out the basil flavor that made us all guess what the ingredients were. What I really enjoyed about this place was that the owner was walking around all night checking on the tables and making sure everyone was enjoying themselves and that the food was perfection.

For food we got Omelete Sancho Panza and Pork Belly Ceviche. The omelete Sancho panza was stuffed with chorizo, Bacon, tomato, spring onions and cream cheese topped with melted mozzarella and Spanish Manchego cheese and roasted red pepper. Everything together was delicious. The pork belly Ceviche had avocado with red onions, red pepper, cilantro, lemon juice and smashed fried green plantains. A bite with everything on the fried green plantains was to die for. We will be visiting again for sure next time we are in Destin.

Have absolutely loved Stinky's until this visit. We've been coming here for years and missed our…read moreannual trip in 2025, so to say we were looking forward to our meal is an understatement. When we walked in, we all felt something was off or different. We were greeted by a nice young waiter but immediately noticed all the regular, long-time servers were gone. Uniforms different and now everyone was wearing their new "restaurant group" uniforms. While it may still be called Stinky's only the name remains. The classic fresh fish preparation with the diced potatoes and veggies have been replaced by a heaping amount of mashed potatoes and soggy broccolini. While the fish was okay, it lacked the special touches of the past. The firecracker shrimp lacked the good flavor and gentle breading of the past. Maybe it's okay for people who have never experienced what Stinky's was, but we would plan our last night at the beach to always include Stinky's. This year it's time to find a new favorite.

All very well prepared. I will be back!

I wish there was a location closer to where I live! For a chain restaurant (that is known more for…read morethings other than food) they have always been amazing and consistent. Coming to this location for the first time proved that streak still continues. The LUMP BLUE CRAB BISQUE - Sherry, Cream, Crushed Herb Croutons to start was fabulous. The MACADAMIA-NUT-CRUSTED SNAPPER - Hawaiian Red Sea Salt, Almond Rice, Grilled Asparagus, Wasabi Soy Beurre Blanc was just as good. Yes, something I usually pass on entirely, dessert, the key lime pie was great too. The only disappointment was the piña colada I ordered. The "bar" is set high on this one by the Marlin Bar in Orlando so I'll give them a pass. Service was very attentive and the place itself is brand new. I wish the developer would have made more parking closer to the buildings. In the off season it was nuts, coming here during peak season is going to be a challenge. One aspect they truly excel at is the live entertainment. The music is just right--loud enough for the audience to sing "Sweet Caroline," yet soft enough to allow for casual conversations at the table.

My family and I have been coming to Tommy Bahama's every…read moreyear while on vacation, and it has always been one of the places we make a point to visit multiple times during our trip. We are typically there at least three out of the seven days we stay in town. Unfortunately, after our experience on Mother's Day, we do not plan on returning. We arrived around 4:30 p.m. with a party of nine, hoping to enjoy some of the happy hour menu and pricing. We were kept waiting in the front until exactly 5:00 p.m., even though it was obvious that tables on the back deck were already available. Once seated, our server was polite and did a good job taking care of us. During conversation, we mentioned the long wait, and he explained that it is apparently "protocol" to delay seating larger parties until after 5:00 so they do not receive happy hour pricing. If that is truly company policy, I find it extremely disappointing and dishonest. We felt manipulated instead of welcomed. The food quality was also far below what we have experienced in past years. The crusted snapper that was recommended to us was terrible and had to be sent back. My grandson's burger was also very poor quality and honestly unpleasant. The only dishes our table generally agreed were decent were the squash casserole bowl and the chicken parmesan. Another disappointment was learning that bread is no longer served. For families with children, that was always something simple that helped while waiting on meals. Between the removal of those small touches, the higher prices, and the noticeable decline in food quality, the restaurant no longer feels worth returning to. I'm not writing this to get anyone in trouble. I'm writing because this restaurant used to be one of the highlights of our vacation every year, and it is frustrating to see the experience decline this much. Chris Tomlinson
