    What it's like at this Sonic....

    Shame on the owner of this Sonic location! You have a huge clientele just from all the visitors coming into our beaches.... Prime location! YET, you don't have enough employees to provide the food and service to make it a success. Waited 45 minutes for an online order because of this. Ended up calling the corporate office. Plus, it's EVERY TIME we go. Why are you in business? You have people waiting in their cars and lining up in the drive thru. The poor employee at the window only had one helper and had to only take orders thru the drive thru. Very poor ownership.

    Proof that we bought fries and that she only put that we gave her a 20 when it was a 100!!!

    It was terrible service. We ordered three sandwiches and a French fry and the lady at the door I had to walk up too to get my French fries because they weren't in the bag was extremely rude and swore she didn't sell me a French fry. Buuut I have the receipt to prove it. She didn't even wanna give me ketchup because she was insisting I never bought a fry. And on top of that we gave her a 100$ bill and our total was $18.47 she said she was coming back with change but didn't and when I walked up and asked she said we gave her a twenty!! She's lucky we're devout Christian people and that we're just gonna pray for her

    Half of the kiosks look like this; Either completely scratched up or non-operational in some manner.

    Ridiculously slow service. Sat at a kiosk for over 20 minutes, nobody took my order. Went to the drive through line. Over 20 minutes before they took my order with 1 other car in line. Unfortunately, this is not an isolated experience with this particular Sonic. If you absolutely need to eat at a Sonic, I would not pick this location; There are others within a 30 minute drive.

    Been in this same spot for the past 10 mins. So much for fast service

    I have nothing positive to say about this place. It's got to be the trashiest place I've been to. 90% of the drive in stalls are broken. There's always a 15-30 minute wait on all orders even tho I placed and order through the app so you would think it would be quicker and easier but nope. The staff here always have some kind of an attitude, like they hate their job. No smiles and no proper greetings. Food is another story smh. I only come here for drinks and some times the drinks are just as bad as the service.

    My bill. Yeah...ridiculous to be treated like this at THESE PRICES.

    This is the absolute SLOWEST...Sonic I've EVER been to. The waitress was SUPER nice, but um...that's like...her JOB...so...big deal. I ordered for both my wife and myself and it took an HOUR AND A HALF while we waited in the HUMID FLORIDA HEAT (because I'm a truck driver and had to walk from Best Buy) sweating and suffering all for some overpriced and OVERCOOKED carnival food. My hi-C was without flavor even though I ordered it with NO ICE, so apparently they don't check their drink machine very often. My chili on my fries and footlong hotdog was OVERCOOKED so it tasted almost burned (I guess is the right description?) and it wasn't even the headache of walking all the way back and complaining for a refund the waitress lied and said she "couldn't do." I will NEVER visit this sonic or any other again because of this grueling experience.

    Upon arrival, I'll be honest, I didn't expect much. SO glad I was wrong. This was one of my…read morefavorite spots while were there. And it was a welcomed break from seafood. 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.

The fries are good. The burgers were good overall but they make a key error with the sunrise by hard cooking the yolk of the egg. It needs to be runny in order to be good. I would go again and order differently.

    Food, is a 4. Food is good. Definitely stop by and give it a try. Service, let's go with a 0. Yes…read morewe are the invisible family. We bring out your worst service possible. 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. Philly steak, boneless wings, kid got a monster burger, and sliders. Guess what, the food is as absolutely great! Go try the food.. other tables were getting. The service you'd expect since you are forced an automatic 18 percent.

    So... the food definitely cost, the burger is going to be cooked through, but I honestly thought…read moreeverything taste good. Veggies were fresh, the food came out decently fast as well. I did have to wipe my table down, and the place is busy. Other than that, I thought everything was cool.

    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.
