Excellent food, chicken gyro and fried zucchini were great as well as their special sweet Greek coffee, flavorful small and strong.
Our server Emilio was attentive, owner Angie checked on us multiple times and made sure everything was great. They have amazing baklava & their dessert section looked out of this wold. Next time will have to try the tiramisu!
Highly recommend this restaurant and will definitely be back!

My son just moved near this place so we stopped in on Saturday- so delish-I had the grilled amberjack with fried onions and succotash( which was warm and prefer it cold)-son had the grilled platter with fried okra and fries- all plates were gone except the succotash- we took him a menu home so he will be back and how convenient to have a drive thru- tables were full but by the time the food was ready we had a spot!

We went today and had an awesome meal! The chimichangas were super flavorful and perfectly crispy. My husband had the carne Asada and it was cooked perfectly! The rice here is so tasty! I usually leave the rice on the plate most places but even my kids couldn’t get enough! Our server was attentive and friendly. The restaurant was clean, nicely decorated, and everyone went out of their way to make sure we had everything we needed! We will definitely be back!!

Ready for something different? Order at the counter, serve yourself. Food was good. Wife loved her three chicken tacos baja style. I had the chicken burrito with baja. Would've preferred the south west. Everything al carte. You do get a small order of chips and salsa with your entre. They have 5 main entrees. Different meats, shrimp, fish. 4 styles. See pics. Uniquely different fare. Really busy and lots of take out goin on. Great local flare. I would check it out again. Large portions, didn't go away hungry.

This hidden gem is found under the Brooks Bridge in Fort Walton Bridge. Delicious lunch fare includes blackened grouper on croissant with fresh salad and burger on croissant. The seasoning on my grouper was exquisite. Many French dishes offered on menu as the chef is from France. We were so pleased with our lunch. I hope to return and try the chicken piccata. The view of the bay is lovely. We ate outside on this beautiful day. Sunset views would be gorgeous here. I highly recommend you eat here. Great restaurant for that special occasion or just a wonderful meal that you will enjoy near the water. I can’t wait to return. Our waiter was very pleasant.
6. Twisted Grape Wine Bar
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 51 reviews
As a culture, we’ve lost something. Even when out with friends, people are just as likely to stare at their phones and watch TV as they are to talk to one another. Twisted Grape Wine owners Kathleen and Steven “Bruno” Windham and Debbie Thomas wanted to bring back the sense of community with their wine bar and restaurant in Shalimar. There are no TVs, just wine, some beer, good food and an eclectic style that encourages guests to talk to one another. Twisted Grape has about 30 different wines available now and the owners plan to update their wine list regularly. For those non-wine drinkers, Twisted Grape also has some sparkling wine cocktails and beers.

We both order the Best Burger in the Emerald Coast and winner of the 2017 Best Burger Cook Off. These are Gouda Burger with a salad to die for. The wine selections are , well too many as I enjoy the Twisted Grape Pinot Grigio. These wines are great and comes with a extremely responsible price tag.
Check there calendar as they have Jazz, Painting Night, Mystery Nights and all kind of different Fundraisers.

Been to destin a lot over the years and eat seafood as much as possible but love mexican. Decided to try this place since it was rated #9 of 186 of all rest in Fort Walton...was so glad we did! we got Chipotle chicken flatuas and beef burrito which is really big and they gave us the chips with 3 sauces as an appetizer (guac, salsa, queso). it was all so delicious!!! You get handed a menu when u walk in order at counter then find a seat in or on patio.then they wait on u constantly with refills. The appetizers are bottomless and gave me some to go! They even have a hot sauce bar u can try difft kinds of hot sauces but I didn't want heartburn :) wish one of these places was back home.they top even our go to mexican places. Very very good flavors and service. It's the purple bldg very close on eglin pkwy from the miracle strip. Please open up shop somewhere closer to us in North Alabama/Huntsville area....I'm craving some now! Thank you!

My husband and I were staying at the Fairfield Inn next door and wanted to eat nearby because we were tired. We were glad the hotel recommended Cheers, because their burgers and sweet potato fries were fantastic. Nothing fancy, just solid food and good service.

I like everything on the menu and recommend you give it a try. However, they hit you up for a tip when using your CC or debit card but provide no service...None. You order your food at the counter, get your own drink, and are expected to throw away your trash after finished. I'm all about tipping and tip well when I am being served. This sounds petty, I know, but come on....really?
