We came here and the wonton appetizer was amazing. We had a burger, a patty melt, and I got the buffalo chicken sandwich. Our waitress was attentive, and checked on us in a reasonable amount of time. She was good with meeting our needs and bringing back items requested. The atmosphere is welcoming, the music they play is amazing and inclusive to all and the people were are all welcoming. First off, food came out piping hot, and they have these unique fries and they were amazing. This spot definitely exceeded my expectations and I will gladly return on our next visit to Destin.

Tried Harbor Tavern on Saturday and it's officially a local hidden gem. We actually heard about it…read morefrom our captain on a Tiki Cruise--great recommendation. The space has a cool indoor/outdoor setup, and the night we went they had live music, which made the whole place feel really lively. We sat inside but could still enjoy the music while catching some basketball games. The menu leans Mediterranean and everything looked incredible. We started with the tzatziki, shrimp wonton rolls, and potstickers. All three were great, but the shrimp wonton rolls were my favorite. For my main, I ordered the grilled shrimp pita (loaded with shrimp) with fries--definitely hit the spot. Around the table we also had burgers, a Mediterranean bowl, and pork belly tacos, and everyone loved their meals. We were so full we didn't even make it to dessert. Overall, great vibe, great food, and a fun atmosphere. Definitely worth checking out--just plan on taking an Uber or Lyft since parking is limited.

There are amazing brunch cocktail prices! Started w a bloody mary which was great. I had the salmon benedict, but my poached eggs came out cooked hard inside without a runny yolk. No problem for them at all- the bartender took the old meal away and I had a new plate in front of me within minutes. There is a huge selection of draft beers, many from Florida. I did a little flight of the coconut porter (good but not my favorite), Destin ale (had to get it while in Destin!), and the beach camp mango sour (AMAZING!). I would def recommend getting the beach camp sour if you are visiting. Would definitely return. Thanks to the friendly staff for letting me camp at your bar for so long!

Our waiter was attentive and made sure we had everything we needed. I ordered the medium-well steak with fries, and for bar food, I have to give them credit--the steak was cooked perfectly. The fries could have stayed in the fryer a little longer for my taste, but they were still good. As a Louisiana girl, I'm pretty picky when it comes to food, and it's hard to impress me outside of my home state. That said, this place did a solid job. The real star of the show, though, was my drink! It was a non-alcoholic beverage infused with 5 mg of THC. I can't remember the name, but it was refreshing, flavorful, and a fun alternative to a traditional cocktail.

Don't matter which city we are in it never fails. Things to add before the service. Party of 5, automatic gratuity. 3 percent add for paying with card. Remember we had to tip 18 percent for this service so why would the server give two shi about us. They were already getting the tip. And we only had two adults and three kids (2 at 14). Served nachos, never given any silverware. Went to front grabbed it myself. Fast forward, not to much on the drink refill or clearing an appetizer meal off the table because the tables are average size. Had to ask for those refills, and just water. Time to pay. No clue where the server was then, seen the server standing up front near the entrance. Then Watched other tables get drink refills, and actually pay and began to leave. Wife had to go to the counter to get the bill. Then I went to the counter to pay the bill. Christ our luck sucks. Let's get to the food.

My husband and I stopped at Smashburger in Destin because the aroma coming from the restaurant was…read moreso inviting while we were shopping nearby. Unfortunately, what started as a promising experience quickly turned into one that left us uncomfortable and unable to eat the food we ordered. When we entered, the restaurant was fairly busy, but it did not take long to place our order. While waiting, we observed a cashier who appeared to be assisting with both customer service and food preparation. Repeatedly, she would remove her hat, touch and rub her hair, wipe her face and mouth area, handle cash and customer transactions, and then return to the food preparation area without washing or sanitizing her hands. We watched this happen multiple times. As we continued waiting, we also noticed DoorDash drivers and other delivery personnel accessing and handling bags in the pickup area. Some appeared to be looking through or touching bags while searching for their orders. This created confusion and made it difficult to tell whether customer orders were being properly secured before pickup. The final concern occurred when the same employee who had been touching her face and hair returned to the food preparation area and began assembling order bags. We observed her pick up a serving of fries and place them into a bag without first cleaning her hands. At that point, we no longer felt comfortable consuming the food. As a result, we left behind our milkshakes, Smashburgers, and fries and only kept our sealed bottled water and bottled beverage. Losing the money was disappointing, but we were more concerned about food safety. Beyond the hygiene concerns, the overall order assembly and pickup process seemed disorganized. There appeared to be little separation between customer service, food preparation, and delivery pickup activities. Additional training, clearer procedures, and better control of the food assembly area could go a long way toward improving both food safety and customer confidence. We chose Smashburger because it smelled amazing from outside, and we were genuinely excited to try it. Unfortunately, our experience left us unable to enjoy the meal we purchased.

We visited The Local Market because we kept hearing they had "the best Cuban in Destin." After…read moreeating there, I honestly do not understand the hype at all. First off, this is not a real Cuban sandwich. The bread was completely wrong. Real Cuban bread, especially if you've ever had one from Ybor City in Tampa, has a very specific texture and press. I even explained before ordering that I only wanted the outside pressed and toasted, while the inside stays cool. That's how an authentic Cuban is made. Instead, they brought out a sandwich that was heated completely through. The meat, cheese, everything inside was hot. It completely ruined the sandwich. When I politely asked about it, the employee seemed irritated and had an attitude about remaking it. They eventually brought another one out, but honestly it still was not good. The bread tasted wrong and the sandwich itself just wasn't enjoyable. It got worse from there. My grandson ordered chicken tenders and fries. The tenders were bad, and the fries tasted like old grease that should have been changed hours earlier. My wife ordered a shredded chicken and cheese sandwich that honestly smelled questionable, like the chicken may have been turning. The final straw was the fruit cup having visible mold growing in it. At that point we lost our appetite and decided to leave. Very disappointing experience overall. Poor food quality, bad execution, and not worth the money. We will not be returning.
