    Kickin Wings

    Insane sequence of events! My girlfriend was raving about Steak & Shake, but I stay rolling my eyes because she never had a burger from The Drop In. I checked Apple Maps before getting there because I remembered the place having abnormal hours, but Apple said it was open so I was hyped!! We made the drive over, but on getting there we realized that the OPEN sign was off. It looked like things were wrapping up, so I went up to the restaurant to show the staff that the hours weren't accurate. Immediately, Joe (the guy running the show) walked up and expressed his apologies. He said that he was having issues changing the hours on the site. My girlfriend and I were about to head out, but then he invited me back to the kitchen to post up on the stoop and get a quick meal from what was left over from the day. Those were some KILLER leftovers! Shared a burger with my girlfriend, and she begrudgingly admitted that yes, the burgers were substantially better than steak and shake. And then Joe, going above and beyond, turned the stove back on to make us some wings! While we were chilling together out back, he explained that a similar instance happened for Valentine's Day where a young enlisted couple from NAS Pensacola arrived past close, but he made sure to make them a meal so it wouldn't have ruined the special day! Looking back, I should've hit The Drop In for Valentine's because the restaurant I ended up going to in Destin was rough... Joe also reminisced on his experiences in fine dining, and it was totally justified by the great food we were tasting. That all being said, Joe didn't even charge us for dinner! Even though The Drop In might have some with communicating their hours, the food and the love from Joe is 100% there! Definitely worth coming through and giving this place some appreciation!

    Wow, this place has it all! Food, ambience, service, what a great place to drop in, and hang out. And Damian's is officially back! Just like the good old days.

    Frozen Lemonade

    The frozen lemonade is fantastic and everything on the menu is SO good. They have really perfected their hand cuts fries. We've been several times since opening and will be back all the time!

    We had the cheeseburger! It was great! Of course nothing better than Damian's lemonade. My seven year old had never had one and he loved it!

If there's one thing that teenage girls will always get excited for, it's ice cream, chocolate, and fudge. We saw the Kilwins and had to come in. Beautiful store. Crisp, white, bright, clean, goodies displayed everywhere. It was really hard picking out what you wanted from the hundreds of available treats. Service was great. Very friendly folks who knew a lot about their wares and helped guide me to what the best choice was for me. I got some sort of buckeye and a Dubai chocolate fudge or something. Whatever it was, it was absolutely delicious. High quality chocolate that melted in your hands if you didn't eat it fast enough. Presumably that means there were less preservatives in there. I can dig that. The visit it was quick, but it was lovely. Pensacola never used to have quality places like this, but I guess my little old hometown is growing up. I'm glad to see it.

Super friendly people who had lots of good recommendations on what to get. The goodies themselves are absolutely decadent and delicious. Fudge, candies, ice cream, it's all good. Cons: None. Just be ready, you'll pay a premium. Tips: Get everything, but don't get the same thing twice. Branch out a little.

If iced coffee is listed as an option, it would help if the staff were more familiar with how to prepare it. Our server had to come back and ask for clarification, and what I received felt more like a flavored iced coffee with a shot rather than a true iced double espresso. I also had to add my own cream, which made it seem like hot coffee might be more their specialty. The food itself was solid, though a bit on the pricey side. The scrambled eggs, bacon, sausage, and toast were decent. The poached egg with salmon on grilled eggplant and arugula was tasty, and the home fries were a standout--unexpectedly excellent. Service was attentive and kind throughout, which I appreciated. However, the wait time after ordering was noticeably long, and there was a 3% convenience charge for using a debit card, which was noted on the receipt. I don't typically give less than 4 stars, but this feels like a place that could easily improve with some small adjustments.
