    WOW! I'm on vacay & pretty much said, let's try a lot on menu. I did. Even the fresh pastries (b/b muffin my fave). I even thought I'd wait to eat the pastries till the evening bc of all else I ate. They made it to the car but not home. BEST PART WAS THE BILL!!!! I didn't realize the guy who came out, the cook... was the owner. Maplewood bacon. Grits. So good.

    The food tasted good, the service was top tier, and the environment was relaxing and friendly.

    After an early doc appt, hubby wanted breakfast and remembered a lil local cafe on the bay. It was 11:45 am and no line. Many tables were occupied.... Good sign! Cozy interior, nice view out front. Ordered bagel lox side of pasta salad and a worker plate on a croissant and cole slaw. Large portions, quick and friendly service, food delish and economical pricing. The bagel was more of a roll coz it had no hole so was quite thick and a little chewy but aside from that, 5 stars in our book! Try it sometime!

    Maple bacon cheeseburger.

    The service was impeccable. The servers make you feel like you feel special and they take their time to explain everything on the menu. The interior is open, clean, and comfortable. The food is cooked to order, but it was a short wait nonetheless. We arrived just after a huge breakfast rush ended, but the restaurant remained full. I know why. The waitress recommended the bacom burger, and added that she will not eat burgers anywhere else. After one bite, I knew why. I know you are thinking, it's just a burger, but you are wrong. It was remarkable. My wife had a chicken salad, salad, and she was very pleased. We took some bagels and brownies home too! A wonderful lunch. Don't miss this place!

    I'll be honest--when we pulled up to Basil & Baxter's Kitchen for a group dinner, I had no idea…read morewhat to expect. From the outside, the place looks small and quite unassuming. But as the saying goes: never judge a book by its cover. We were absolutely blown away by the experience. Despite the modest exterior, the food is nothing short of world-class. I ordered the ribeye, and it was cooked to absolute perfection--tender, flavorful, and easily one of the best steaks I've had in a long time. Since we were a large group, we ended up ordering a significant portion of the menu. Between us, we tried the fish, shrimp, and various pasta plates. It felt like we sampled almost everything they offer, and every single dish was an absolute hit. It's rare to find a place where the entire table is equally impressed with their meal, but Basil & Baxter's pulled it off effortlessly. Beyond the incredible kitchen, the service was outstanding. The staff was attentive, welcoming, and handled our group with the kind of professionalism that makes a night out feel special. If you're in Niceville, do not pass this place up. It might look humble from the street, but the flavors and hospitality inside are massive. We will definitely be back!

They are always busy with tables and to go orders. There must of been new bartender. My husband and I had ordered the mock Butterfly and Lemonade drink we had previously and enjoyed. The first time we had it, it came out in a regular tall water glass. This time it came in a martini glass and the first sip was....OMG strong with liquor. We sent them back to get the nonalcoholic drinks and they came back in a whisky glass, not the taller water glass. Not sure if this was a mistake or they really raised their prices. The lemonade drink with a little color added to it is $7! But, the food is always delicious. My husband had the pot pie and it was the size of a regular 12 inch pie! I had the pork chop which was thick and tender. Some in our party love the bisque soup and order a bowl, which is huge. The cup size was more what we expect as a bowl size. The shrimp and grits is phenomenal too, which I have personally tried. Service is great and friendly. You are given a basket of delicious crusty warm buns comped but if you ask for more (which we did) note that they are .50 cents each. We will continue to visit this restaurant each winter while we are here.

I got the biscuits and gravy, and my boyfriend ordered an egg breakfast with sausage and bacon, and everything was really good. The food came out fresh and flavorful, and it was exactly what we were hoping for. We did have about a ten-minute wait for a table, but it was the day after Easter, so we expected it to be a little busy, and it honestly was not bad at all. The staff was very friendly and welcoming, which made the experience even better. The atmosphere was great too, really comfortable and easygoing, and it felt like a place you could sit and enjoy your time. Overall, such a great spot and one I would definitely recommend if you are in the area.

    Cute little diner. Cook is preparing food right in front of the bar-nothing to hide. I ordered eggs…read moreover medium, bacon crisp, grits and toast. Easy peasy, right? Should've been. Eggs were a tad runny (I opted to keep them in lieu of time), toast was not 'crisp'-just a little under cooked, and bacon came out normal-not crispy/not soft. Flavor was good, grits were delicious I think the cook may have been in a hurry as there were two additional orders of undercooked eggs that came back to him while we were sitting there. He was less than pleased, but remade the orders. I can't say that I would not go here again, but the cook could do better by spending the extra 30 seconds it takes to actually finish cooking the food. Good service from the waitress.

She was so welcoming and thanked us for allowing her to serve us. Ambiance reminded me of Germany, as the owner had lived there for years and brought it to Niceville with her. Food was great, schnitzel was perfect, just like back in Germany. Our son had the Jaeger Schnitzel, my wife had the plain Schnitzel and I went for the Bangkok Schnitzel, all three were on point, our daughter went for the Currywurst which was a good level of spice. My Bangkok Schnitzel had a Thai Curry sauce and pineapples, it was a nice fusion. The bread was homemade and we ordered a second basket, because who doesn't love a great homemade bread?

He ordered the jagerschnitzel with spaetzle and mushroom gravy, and had enough to bring some back to the condo. He proclaimed it very tasty and five-worthy, in his opinion. We also shared a pretzel with cheese sauce, and they gave us some delicious tasting homemade bread. The unsweetened iced tea tasted delicious once the pink stuff was added, and that's only saying something because you wouldn't believe how often the iced tea stinks in restaurants. They had next to nothing for vegetarians, since they seem to enjoy putting bacon in everything. Why? They kindly swapped the Swiss cheese (blech) in the kasespatzle for Alfredo sauce, and I got a cute salad plate too. It tasted fine, I had no complaints. I would like to point out that, according to the interwebs, "In 2022, about 8.12 million people in Germany identified as either vegetarians or largely forgo meat consumption." Meat substitutes like quorn are quite facile to work with, and make excellent meat substitutes in traditional dishes. Try it!
