While staying in Destin, we wanted to try a breakfast place we haven't tried when we visited a year ago. 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. read more

Food was edible at best. We are long time foodies and love to find little hole in the wall places to try when traveling, but can't say it's worth a $50 bill for two for breakfast. Restaurant itself is decorated cute and our server was wonderful. We started off by ordering a latte (they did not have milk or half and half stocked) That's ok, we waited patiently until she said the owner had ran to gas station to get more. Time to order breakfast ... the hubby ordered breakfast burrito meal I attempted to order breakfast sandwich... but no lettuce, tomato or avocado to make it Again, that's ok! I'll pick an alternate ... Not fault of the server, but they had nothing in stock to make most meals for the day I ordered biscuits and gravy with side of hash brown casserole Gravy was "meh". Tasted a lot like flour and grease I added salt and pepper ... then some hot sauce to make it edible. When waitress came around to ask how things were I asked for tomato if they had any ... she brought out a small dish of chopped tomato Burrito delivered without salsa... when asked for it notified that they have none. Only pico or hot sauce in stock. Time for the bill to come ... $5.00 for side of hash brown casserole $3.00 for half cup of diced tomatoes!!! Sweet server, but we won't be back! I understand it's off season, but still need to have items in stock to make your advertised meals. Then should not charge outrageous for substitutes to make up for not having your advertised dishes. read more

The breakfast table is a small diner like Destin breakfast spot just off popular stretch of Highway in Destin Florida. Me and my wife and our youngest who is 1 went out one morning while on our vacation while our older girls slept in. They were extremely understaffed and had signs warning or long waits due to cooking everything from scratch. So when we walked In Even though the patio was all open and about 4 tables were wide open we had a 30 min wait so the staff wasn't overwhelmed and mistreating us. I can respect that but also I'd rather sit at a table and still get drinks and relax while waiting for food. But I get it. Everyone is different. For our meal i personally got the pancake meal with bacon and eggs. I order my back. Limp or fatty and my eggs over easy. Neither we cooked correctly but they were still pretty good. Pancakes were solid as well. More thick then they are wide but had a good fluffy taste to them. My wife got the French toast meal and she liked it. The French toast was a little too candy coated for her liking but she ultimately enjoyed it and the baby smashed them. So one year old approved for sure. We put in some to go orders for our daughters. My Oldest goy a southwestern omelette and was impressed. Overall it was an ok visit. I don't necessarily agree with there philosophy when understaffed and they have a very limited menu (maybe due to understaffing as well). Food was solid. I didn't eat at any other breakfast places in Destin so I can't really compare it to other locals. But there are several places back home in Lousiville that i think are Better and don't come with the essential tourism tax of being in a hot spot destination. Workers were nice and did what they could so respect for that. If your a breakfast fan I don't see any reason to avoid this place. Solid spot. read more

Great little cafe. The staff was pleasant and polite. The homemade cappuccino was very flavorful and delightful. The food was spot on. We had 2 kids with us who noted they wanted to come back because the food was so good. You will wait a little time but the food is hot and fresh. We had a variety of foods and the French Toast was a huge hit among the kids as were the pancakes. My husband said they were some of the best he has had. Glad we tried this out and we look forward to returning. read more

We heard the wait was long, and boy is it ever. We waited almost 45 minutes just for a table. Once we sat down service was very prompt. We ordered the western omelette with a biscuit, hash brown casserole, and a make your own omelette. The food is prepared to order so everything came out fresh and hot. There was no liquid egg here. Real eggs, real cheese, fresh vegetables, and hand-shredded potatoes. Honestly my favorite was the biscuit. It wasn't a dry flaky one, it was crispy and moist. Very delicious. Food is a bit pricey but it was worth it. The restaurant is decorated in a beach vibe with pretty pictures everywhere and is painted in beautiful bright colors. The restrooms are so pretty and very clean. Staff were very friendly. This breakfast cafe is well worth a stop but don't be in a hurry. read more

Cutesy breakfast spot with polite appreciative staff. Didn't have to wait too long to be seated on a rainy saturday afternoon. There is both indoor & outdoor dining. Limited alcohol (I think only mimosas, screwdrivers & bloody Marys). Small menu, but accommodating. Enjoyed my eggs benedict without meat - eggs cooked perfectly, yummy sauce. Would come here again- they offer takeout too. read more

This cute gem is one of my favorite breakfast spots in Destin. We spot here on our yearly trip to the beach. Everyone is always kind and food is delicious! Our waitress, Ashley, was very attentive and sweet. She was nervous because she was new but she did a fantastic job. Everything we ordered was hot and delicious. The restaurant itself is so cute,has great decor and the restrooms are always clean. They offer outside seating and will do separate checks ( which can be hard to get sometimes). I appreciate the consistency every visit...see y'all next year!!! read more

Red Rooster Cafe - Clean - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Destin, Florida

Ordered: breakfast burrito with sausage, grits with cheese, wheat toast and Coffee Server name is Ashley. She stated she's only been working for 5 days for recently new server and very very nice and upfront. I really liked her as our server. They use to have a menu in the past but now all their food items are listed on a board on the wall. They did not have the breakfast burrito listed but my friend asked if they could still make one and they reluctantly were able to make it for the both of us. Coffee - typical cup of Joe. Free refills and it has a nice bold flavor. Breakfast burrito - as mentioned above, it's not listed on their board menu but I was in luck to have the chef make it. Inside has cut up sausage links, hash browns, and scrambled eggs. The exterior of the tortilla had a nice crisp crunch. The hash browns provided that nice soft, fluffy filling with the scrambled eggs. Also provided is the pico de gallo which added that sweet tang. Definitely did not need to add anything else onto the burrito. Cheese grits - was not to my liking. The cheese is melted on top by the heat of the grits. The grits were on the okay side of flavor. Texture was a little more on the clumpy thick side. Overall - highly would recommend coming back here! Great honest service, although it was slow to have our food made but for the quality of food, I can take that. read more

Red Rooster Cafe - Breakfast burrito with sausage - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Destin, Florida

Well worth the wait. Margot was attentive and personable. The food was cooked perfectly. You receive a LOT of food for the price. We had a party of 10 with several kids. They all enjoyed the food immensely. Our favorite dishes: Fabulous French Toast- this is a deliciously sweet and slightly crispy cinnamon version made with Texas toast. Breakfast Burrito with sausage- this is sliced sausage links, hash brown casserole, eggs, etc. with a side of Pico. It was the best breakfast burrito I have ever tasted. Pancakes- light, fluffy and HUGE. Eggs were all cooked exactly as ordered. The biscuits were buttery, hot, and tender. Truly the most phenomenal breakfast/brunch restaurant I've visited. read more

Wow. Great deco, smooth tunes, feels good here. But a great opportunity- missed today. We waited it out for 35 of a 20 min wait. They were open about the Covid restrictions - which were understood and accepted. Has some outdoor seating but no waitstaff for those today. We watched 2 tables not getting bussed while folks were waiting. They lost at least 2 four tops and 3 deuces. Not in a big hurry to serve it seemed. When we finally sat we were told immediately there is a back up in the kitchen. (Why not say before?) The food Fantastic actually! I had 2 eggs bacon hash browns- delicious. Hubby had western omelette which was so freshly made! Food is really good. We watched a mismatch of seating for Covid but no one seemed to care. Meanwhile the tables sat un-bussed the entire hour plus we were there. They could have done so much more business. Verdict. Given our first visit we would try again. The food was really good for breakfast and they had mimosas :). But know that you may have this situation- and decide if it's worth the wait. It was for us. read more

Red Rooster Cafe - a variety of food items - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Destin, Florida

Ambiance (beyond cute) and lovely waitress is what earns this place its stars as well as a very good, if expensive, vanilla late. The problem is it took an hour to get our food (an omelet w/ a side of fruit and scrambled eggs & bacon with fruit). And when the food came the scrambled eggs were a little raw and slimy inside but the bacon was nice and crisp. It may have just been the case of a lost ticket or something since a woman who came in about 25 minutes after us, got her food about 15 minutes before us. I wanted to give this place more stars because the cute atmosphere/vibe was great! read more

It's now called the Red Rooster Cafe. Easy to spot by the red jeep out front. Sort of an eclectic place that won't suite everybody. Probably owned by aging hippies like me. You are greeted with an expectation setting please wait while the kitchen catches up. After ordering a similar warning that all food is prepared fresh at time of order, so don't expect anything quickly. Even so, we were seated in 5 minutes and the food arrived within 20 minutes of the order. Prices are high for a breakfast place. The veggie omelet comes stuffed with a pan full of veggies spilling out of the egg wrapping. $15 bucks and probably worth it. I had the Best Breakfast Sandwich after getting clarification on "best of". Is it best in city, state, country, planet? Their claim is it is that it is best in northwest Florida. I can agree. The least cost breakfast was $12. The menu goes up from there. read more

Quick stop in here today for couple cappuccinos to go. Unfortunately, the espresso was not good. Neither of us could finish our coffees Cost was $11.00 plus $2 tip Would like to try again for breakfast. And hopefully they can per..fect the cappuccinos.... It's important. Thank you read more

Very cute place. People were nice. Maybe I shouldn't have read the previous negative reviews but I did! I did notice some tables being ignored and staff running around with not much order. Our food was good, nothing to write home about. The best part was meeting a 91 year old Korean War Veteran....his name was Bill. He was precious and I loved our brief chat.

Better be hungry. And please be nice, they get busy. But for great reason. As small business owners, my wife and I knew it would be delicious just by the attitudes, work ethic and attention to detail. Well worth the wait. One of the best breakfasts we have ever had. Whole family was pleased. Ask for Nikki... Can't go wrong read more

I should have paid more attention to previous reviews. The slow service caused several people to get up and leave. We were told we would have a 20 minute wait but it ended up being about 40 minutes. Like others have said, once seated we were told the kitchen was backed up so it took about 45 minutes to get our food. We joked that they must only have one pan in the back that they had to cook everyone's food with. The restaurant seemed understaffed and several tables remained unbussed for long periods of time even though multiple names were on the wait list. We tried to order the seafood omelet but they were missing ingredients for it so my fiancé got a burrito with chorizo and really enjoyed it and I got eggs Benedict which was pretty good as well. The food wasn't quite worth the long wait time though. Long story short, if you aren't in a hurry or super hungry or hungover and just want to get some food in your stomach, it's an okay place for a meal. Also, the hashbrowns have onions in them for anyone who isn't into that haha read more

Amazing!! The crab omelette one of the BEST OMELETTES I HAVE EVER HAD! Only thing I'd say, is just regular hash-browns! The casserole was good, but, nothing beats real good fluffy hash browns. I know I'm in the south, just moved from WI and the Midwest tourist will love the good hash browns. Awesome nice simple bloody. Espresso. They have bottled Evian! Cute decor and wonderful service!Will be back weekly. read more

We were looking for a new breakfast place to try while visiting Sandestin. Read up on the reviews and decided to give it a try. My family and I loved everything we ordered. All the dishes were fresh and well prepared. Portions were huge and the coffee was one of the best I've ever had anywhere. Service was just as exceptional thanks to Ashley. She knew we were in a rush and did her best to get everything served as quickly as possible. Obviously being a busy time of year it was a bit of a wait and took awhile to get our food, but it was well worth the wait. Highly recommend this place and will return whenever we're in town. read more

The morning after the 4th of July. Wait time was long from arrival to getting breakfast one hour and a half minimum. And the side Waffle was cold! The over medium eggs, there was nothing medium about them. The Waffle was sent back as requested and another one served. Still cold and unable to melt the butter spread over it. The build it yourself omelette; crab, spinach, shrimp was good a lot of crabmeat. The eggs could have been a little fluffier. The staff friendly and inviting! read more

My wife and I enjoyed our food so much, we forgot to take pictures of it! Everything was spectacular. From the hashbrown casserole, to the bacon-infused Belgium waffles....oh I almost forgot, the delicious mimosas and sea-breezes (champagne/orange juice/cranberry juice). Seriously one of the best breakfast places we've been to. We will definitely be back next time we're staying in Destin! read more

Good food but pricey. The latte was just okay in our opinion. And the most annoying part was charging for mayonnaise!!! That kind of stuff should be incorporated in the cost of services. And you also pay a fee for using a debit or credit card. read more

We were a bit concerned when we passed other breakfast spots that had customers lined up out the door, then pulled up here and not a car/customer in sight. To our delight, the breakfast was awesome, the server was very nice, attentive and knowledgable, very in tune. A definite recommend to get your beach day started off right! read more

**MEATLESS OPTION** I have been to this breakfast spot before I was vegan and I loved it! I returned as a veggie-only-eater with low expectations on of what I might be able to find to eat, but I was wrong! The server told me they recently started serving a vegan meat option and the chef was able to prepare a DELICIOUS vegan burrito. It has all the veggies they offer on the "sides" menu plus the new vegan meat. I will be back this trip for that burrito and when we come back to Destin again (provided they keep it!) read more

This is a neat little breakfast spot. The staff is very nice and the atmosphere is relaxing. Its a local place, family owned. My wife and I had a great meal. She had the biscuits and gravy, which she loved, I had the shrimp and grits. I loved the flavor of the sauce, the shrimp were cooked perfect and the grits were cooked perfect. The portion sizes were really good. I've put this spot on our list to stop at and I highly recommend it. read more
