We came for brunch prior to the Sandestine Wine Festival. My friends come every year, and this is…read morepart of their itinerary. They don't take reservations, so we put our name on the wait list. We started at #21 and by the way our shuttle got there from the time share we had moved up to #5. It's a happening spot so I suggest you do the same. When we were finally seated we had a nice spot outside to people watch while we ate. It was a beautiful day so that spot was perfect. The menu has a lot to offer, but OF COURSE, we started with drinks. Two ordered the peach bellini, one ordered the whipped pineapple mimosa, and I had the Lavender Paloma. The Lavender Paloma was different. It hinted of lavender, not too sweet and I couldn't taste the liquor, but I definitely felt it after awhile. Then we ordered brunch. I'm an eggs benedict fan, so I ordered the Trifecta, which was a combination of three different styles of egg benedict: Cochon, Chicken St. Charles and Bayou Shrimp. All three were quite tasty. My partner ordered a side salad that she was raving over (spring mix w/tomato and champagne vinagrette). We also had fried green tomatoes which were perfect, French toast bites, and an egg platter with potatoes and bacon. Everybody enjoyed their meals and drinks. I'm sure if we lived in the area, we'd go back.

BLUF: Excellent breakfast all day and delicious, fresh donuts in a diner-like atmosphere…read more My party of three arrived at The Donut Hole to a long-ish line down the ramp and I was wondering if it's worth it. It is! The Donut Hole most certainly has diner vibes and I suspect the booths are original to its 1978 origins - both of which made for a nostalgic experience. Although named for the sweet, fried confections, The Donut Hole has a huge menu of breakfast, lunch and dinner items. My table all ordered breakfast even though it was lunch time. The breakfast was awesome - omelettes, pancakes, poached eggs, cheese grits, coffee and the most delicious rye bread. I had the sausage and cheese omelet and there was something about it that made it better than other omelettes I've had. Also, I loved the rye bread - it was sliced thicker than what I am used to and it was very pillowy. I enjoyed it dry but it was also good with a little butter. We waited about 20 or so minutes for a table, but once seated we enjoyed prompt, attentive, excellent service. And's let's not forget to talk about the fresh made donuts! Oh my, there were a lot of flavors to choose from and none of them disappointed. Initially I went with a chocolate frosted and Bavarian cream filled donut. But then a fresh tray of key line donuts came out and I had to get one of those too. My sister ordered a few and we took them back to our rental, cut them in quarters and had a donut tasting party. Delicious! I am looking forward to my return trip to The Donut Hole. A visit to Santa Rosa Beach would not be complete without a stop at The Donut Hole.

Holy tortugas! This place rocks and no wonder it is packed, the word is out…read moreVery smart scheme, they don't need any advertising because it is by word of mouth, our next door neighbor from Pensacola told us about the donuts and other items in the menu I ordered an omelette with mushrooms and cheese and it was like they would have told me to go in the kitchen and make it myself disregarding how big my stomach and my appetite would be, very generous that not even the picture makes justice to how well and generous was. Do you think I left any in my plate? no sir! Wife ordered two fried eggs that come with hash browns and biscuit and she barely finished too. Kathy was our server with a smile from ear to ear that made our day, very patient and took our order quickly and accurately. Considering the number of people in the restaurant our food came out quickly. We asked Kathy about something we saw next table and could not guess what it was on the menu. Apple fritters she said so we ordered one to go, well have it with coffee tomorrow There is a well known breakfast franchise across the highway but they are no competition to the Donut Hole, just simply there is no other place I have been in the Nation that serves as good as this and I have been to quite a few, I wish there was one near home. Place is well lit and inviting with enough personnel to tackle the crowd Place is crazy busy and when we left the line was all the way to the front porch Are we coming back? you bet we will in the week and a half we have left in Paradise. Only about a mile from Topsail Hill State Park and next time we will take the bikes, easy ride on the bike lane on Highway 98

While waiting, we sat at the bar. I ordered a Paloma. It was tasty and the presentation was nice. However, we saw a cockroach in the straw container on the bar. We told the bar tender and she threw half the straws away. We told her she needed to toss all of them and she did. I couldn't finish my drink after that. The wait was very long. On the phone they told us it would be 20-30 minutes. It was 2 hours. They told us the reason was because another table was overstaying, which didn't make a lot of sense. Our waitress was rude. She was annoyed we wanted separate checks and was very curt. All of us were put off by her attitude. For appetizers, we got the edamame hummus, edamame, Brussels sprouts, and shrimp lettuce wraps. The edamame hummus was weird. It didn't have a ton of flavor and the wasabi peas and ginger on top were just strange. The Brussels sprouts and shrimp wraps were good. The shrimp wrap was probably our favorite app. For my entree, I got Sandor's ravioli. It was good, but not hot. The ravioli was handmade and very cheesy. The fish was perfectly blackened. Unfortunately our bride's steak was undercooked and she didn't want to send it back after the long wait and waitress attitude. I got the key lime pie to go and it took forever to get it. We had to ask another server to get it. It was amazing, but not worth the hold up after an already negative experience. We let the manager know about our experience and while they were very apologetic and offered us a discount, our experience was what it was and we had already paid. I appreciate their acknowledgment and offer to make it right.

My $5 Vanilla Sweet Foam Cold Brew was ready in about 5 minutes and was delicious. The self-serve station with unlimited hot coffee and cold brew refills was a nice bonus. About 5 minutes later, the Five & Dime ($13) arrived--fried chicken, bacon, cheddar, egg, and spicy sausage gravy on a biscuit with country potatoes. Great flavor, filling portion, and a solid value. Friendly staff, fast service, and a great breakfast. Would definitely return. Cheers

The flavors and the fresh fruit were perfect complement for all the dishes. The chicken and waffles were crispy and moist. The sauce for the chicken had a mild smokey with a little spice at the end. The pancake berry melt was also amazing. The fresh fruit compote was nicely sweet and the sweet white cream complemented the pancakes. We celebrated my daughter's birthday and the singing and dessert were amazing! Only downside is because it is a popular location you will have a wait for breakfast, when we left there was no wait for lunch.

When its added on every check it is NOT gratuity. We did get reversed but be warned. They dont print the check out for you to review. Only give the screen so its easy to miss. Won't be back.
