I ordered a pickup plate and I was blown away by the service. 1. They offer military discount! 2. They offered me some tea and a Turkish coffee complimentary during my wait! 3. They were kind enough to gift me a dessert! I was blown away by the generosity and the kindness of the associate. The inside is also very nice, lots of space for tables and lots of room for a family style meal. The food prices have increased a lot since the uploaded menu photos like on Google!!!! It's pretty pricey, but huge portions! I ordered a Shrimp Kabob Plate and subbed one of the kabobs for chicken. I also ordered an extra side of Tahini (not tzatziki) sauce. I will say the portion of the protein was not as much as I would like on first glance, but it was A LOT OF FOOD! The portion of the entire plate itself was huge. Two cups of rice, two salads, one huge pita, the meat proteins and one tzatziki sauce. I loved the pickled onions on the salad, so flavorful and delicious! Unfortunately, I was accidentally given two tzatziki sauces instead of an extra tahini, but accidents happen! No problem! I just LOVE garlic, so I felt like the flavors I was desiring was missing? Again, I love garlic lol. I think that the bread, when it came out was warm... got stale really fast? There were only 3 chicken pieces, but they were HUGE! I just think I need to explore more sauce options, because I felt like something was missing. But I still ate a TON and was satisfied after. I was really blown away by the customer service there. The associate, I'm not sure if he was the owner or not, but was extremely generous and kind! He was super friendly, had a smile on his face, and the small goodies really blew me away and made my day better. Thank you!

We arrived Saturday afternoon and was able to get a seat without waiting. Aegean is a very popular with locals and tourists so arrive early. Our server was quick to grab our drink order while we viewed the menu. Lots of traditional Greek cuisine with plenty of seafood dishes to appease your appetite. We went with traditional souvlaki dishes which came with a delicious side salad. We added a hummus with pita bread appetizer and was served warm and tasty. Service was great and very attentive. Prices were very reasonable but seating for larger groups nay want to call ahead to confirm Aegean can accommodate your party. Great experience and look forward to our next visit.

Do Not Waste Your Money you'll be Completely Disappointed...$88 w/ tip for a meal that left us…read morehungry and angry. Red Onion is a masterclass in how NOT to run a Mediterranean restaurant. First The Menu Bait-and-Switch Their website menu and a customer-posted menu are identical both promise pita bread and tzatziki with entrees. We ordered based on that. When we called after getting home asking where these items were, they claimed it was "an old menu posted by a customer." Except their website/menu online says the same thing. Either fix your menus or stop lying to customers. The Portions were pathetic when told they were good sized and oh man the food was Flavorless! For $79 + tip, we got portions embarrassingly small. The grape leaves? Cold, wet, and bland could barely eat three. The rice was lifeless. The $37 "Fish of the Day" tilapia had ZERO flavor and no lemon even basic Mediterranean cooking demands lemon. The $30 salmon kabob was mediocre-sized and barely filling. Everything tasted like it was prepared with zero seasoning and zero effort and no soul. We had to season our own food at home. Our server was too busy with personal conversations to help properly. When handing us our to-go food, she literally said, "I didn't put gratuity on there but you guys can if you want" like she was doing us a favor by separating the hot items from the cold. We tipped anyway because we're good Samaritans when it comes to eating out. When we complained by phone, the response was hollow: "I'll let the Owner know to fix it" the only positive thing: Location is easy to find. That's literally it. The building is rundown, interior cramped with tables crammed together, decor is mediocre at best. Do yourself a favor and skip this place. Better Mediterranean restaurants exist all over Destin. This is a cautionary tale of poor execution, dishonest practices, and staff that clearly doesn't care. 1/5 Stars - Never returning.

Anyway, we wanted Mediterranean food and decided to finally give In & Out a try. Boy am I glad we did. This place is fantastic! We ordered the In & Out Platter which serves two and includes steak, kufta, and chicken served over rice along with falafel, sides, and sauces. The kids had a chicken tender kid meal and a gyro wrap. Everything was absolutely delicious! Service is fine. You order at the counter and if you're eating in they will bring your food to you. They don't really provide full service, so if you need anything you'll probably need to go back to the counter to request whatever it is you need. But, overall it was fine. With regard to the dining environment, it is rather small with just a handful of tables. The decor is appropriate for the type of restaurant it is and they keep the place pretty clean. After finally visiting, I'm sure we'll be back. The food is definitely worth five stars!

It's honestly the closest thing we've had in the United States to what you get in Europe. The food quality is outstanding across the board. The flavors are fresh, well-balanced, and you can tell care goes into everything they make. The hand-cut fries are excellent and really set it apart from typical quick-service places. On top of that, the pricing is very reasonable--one of the most affordable meals we've had during our stay in Orange Beach, especially considering the quality. The owner was friendly, positive, and easy to talk to, which made the experience even better. You can tell they take pride in what they do. The drive-through option is a huge bonus--super convenient to grab your food and head back to the hotel or campground. We will definitely be back and highly recommend this place to anyone looking for great food, great value, and a genuinely enjoyable experience.
