    My husband ordered a plain stack of pancakes and said they were really good. I told him it's a pancake place so they better be good...lol. He ordered sausage patties and eggs over easy on the side, which he also enjoyed. I'm gluten free and there was not a pancake option for me, which was disappointing. We were originally going to another restaurant in the area and I was looking forward to their gf pancakes but they were closed. I had the all meat omelette which had a ton of meat in it and cheesy grits which were good too. My order also came with a slice of Texas toast which I handed off to my husband. I was freezing on a Monday morning so you may want to bring a sweater or jacket. Our waitress of friendly and efficient. It looked like they had a terrific coffee bar too with optional flavors and other breakfast drinks.

    Amazing Breakfast! Busy place but definitely worth the wait! Delicious breakfast in a nicely decorated restaurant! Food was amazing!

    Be prepared to wait but also to have your mind blown! The pancakes are HUGE here. Everything is à la carte but don't get fooled. The pancake alone could feed an army. The food was so good, the iced coffee was ice coffee-ing, and the vibes were perfect. Everyone is so friendly and attentive and despite the long wait we weren't made to feel ignored. If you want to feel so full that you feel like you'll explode then come here.

    The short stack- amazing! The omelette- holy cow amazing! So much meat. And the steak was phenomenal. Pretty nice location, nice vibes but the food was the steal of the show. My wife and I sat at the bar and the bartender was amazing. We will definitely be back.

    We had breakfast here. The name suggests breakfast is their operation and it was a good suggestion. We ate out front. The atmosphere was very pleasant with the open air. Dahlia served us and took very good care of us. The food was good. Know that they add 20% gratuities to groups. We had 6 in our party.

    My wife and I were in Destin for vacation and decided to do brunch at The Pancakery. My wife loves a fight of anything, so when she saw a flight of Mimosas, she had to try them. Heads up warning. The flight of Mimosas are not samples of various flavors, they are full sized Mimosas. I had to help her drink them, since that four is a lot to drink. I liked the cranberry and she liked the mango. My wife had the crepes (see photo) and I had the chorizo burrito. She loved the crepes. My burrito was good, but it really needed a big side of salsa. The restaurant is a nice little place in a strip center and the servers are good. The Pancakery is worth a try, but beware of the Mimosas.

    I definitely recommend planning ahead and joining their waitlist online *at least* an hour in advance! The wait for us was a bit long because we weren't aware of that, but it was so worth it. Very yummy, filling, and presentable. Staff is so kind, as well! We were seated outside and while it was very humid, it was a nice experience.

    Service was speedy and pleasant. There is indoor and outdoor (parking lot) seating. Inside it's a little tight with tables. Pancakes were good, light and fluffy - good size - nothing to write home about, have definitely had better ones. The name is a little misleading if you like pancakes as they are just average. Prices were somewhat typical for breakfast 10+. Sausages were a fail for almost $5 - 2 small jimmy dean type and not really even fresh/skip that.

    Breakfast Sampler

    The Pancakery is a cute breakfast spot with a large menu. The menu ranges from boozy coffees to burgers to benedicts to pancakes. I ordered the breakfast sampler with scrambled eggs, bacon, hash browns, and pancakes. Every part of my meal was simple, yet tasty. I will be back to explore the menu at the Pancakery!

Decided on a 6 pack with glazed, chocolate coconut x 2, sprinkles, chocolate glazed x 2. They were placed in a bag rather than box (I should have said something!) so of course the chocolate ended up on the bag and the other donuts. Luckily the donuts were good, though! Also ordered a slice of key lime pie (a must!) and a slice of a chocolate/vanilla cake (moist and perfect if you can't decided if you want a slice of chocolate or vanilla cake!). In addition to pastries, they also ordered food (mainly looked like breakfast and brunch), which looked delicious. If we had more time in Destin, would definitely stop by again for a meal.

    On the main road here in Destin…read more The music sounds clubby inside. Considered the crab croissant, but the pics on here didn't look so good and the croissant didn't look golden brown or flaky, like I tend to favor. We ordered the spicy carb scramble, cup of coconut grits, iced coffee, less whipped cream, jerk chicken basket, island burger and Blue Mahoe beer. $51.71 for everything except the island burger and the Blue Mahoe beer. The iced coffee comes topped with whipped cream, it's mixed with chocolate. It's obviously very chocolatey as a result of the added chocolate. The Blue Mahoe beer is made with mango, it's different for sure. The base of the beer tastes like a Blue Moon, maybe. Shows mango cart on the cocktail menu, no idea what a mango cart means though. Service was good, although our waitress seemed like she might be new since she didn't know the specifics of the menu items. Not sure why I was thinking the jerk chicken would not be on the bone, so that made it a bit messier than planned. The island burger is spicy, my FIL enjoyed it. The spicy crab scramble was good. Could have better jam to go with the toast, the grape jelly didn't look anything like a jelly and was quite runny for my toast at least. The mixed berry was a bit thicker for spreading. The coconut grit was quite creamy, just a very subtle coconut flavor. The jerk chicken sauce is super flavorful and quite good. The cabbage slaw on the side was bland and seemed like an afterthought to me. The fries were partly over fried and as if the oil had saturated into a few of the fries to make them look translucent even. Still overall a nice lunch.

    The sauce with the chicken and the and coconut waffles is absolutely devine. The coconut grits and…read morepork belly is as tasty. I enjoyed the Caribbean inspired food was a wonderful twist for breakfast. We really enjoyed the experience.

It was hard to scoop the marrow out & hardly anything came out. Would be better to cut the bone length wise like other places. Also, the bread the escargot was on top of was wayyy too thick. -Foie gras torchon: rich & really delicious. Perfect ratio & balance of flavors to balance out the fattiness of the foie gras. -Blue crab pappardelle: this was amazing! If you're a crab lover, this is a must order. Generous portion of crab & great al dente pasta. -Husband ordered fish of the day (branzino I think?): fish was nicely cooked, but the sauce was inedible. Was way too sweet, like candy. -Kids had the fettuccine Alfredo & wagyu cheeseburger with fries from the kids menu. I thought both were overly salty, but they all enjoyed it. Fries were exceptionally good, but again, just too salty. Overall, we found some orders to be either exceptionally good or underwhelming. Service was attentive & we were given great wine recommendations to accompany our dinners. We enjoyed our meal & had plenty for lunch leftover with the generous portions.
