    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.

    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!

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.

    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.

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.
