This place was just a few minutes away from our condo so we decided to give it a try. We went twice since we loved the food first time around. Weekends seem to be busy, so be prepared to wait a little. You can call ahead and get on their waiting list, they don't take reservations. Our servers were wonderful both times. First time we went I ordered the Maque Choux Benedict. The base was beautiful Golden brown Green Tomatoes instead of English muffin, delicious Crab cakes on top of that, topped off with poached eggs, scratch made maque choux, Creole Hollandaise, Andouille sausage, green onions and dusted with paprika. My sister got the Crawfish Egg-toufee. It also had the fried green tomatoes as the base, topped with Bacon, poached eggs, Creole Hollandaise, Crawfish and green onion. Both dishes were delicious. The Maque Choux Benedict was so good I devoured the entire dish. It's a really filling dish so it was perfect before the hike my sister and I went on. Second time around I ended up getting the Lobster gouda grits and my sister got Avocado toast with Lobster. The grits was delicious, just the right amount of spice and creamy. It's a must try. My sister enjoyed her dish as well. All in all we had a great experience and will definitely return on our next visit. read more

From the moment we walked in we were greeted professionally and kindly. There was a 10 min wait but the hostess said there was bar seating immediately. We were greeted by Corrina and Preston. Again they were pleasant and upbeat. Food was delivered quickly and boy was it good! Couldn't finish everything! Great amount of food for the price. It's a cute place with great decor in a strip mall right off the main road. Will definitely come back again next time we are in Destin! HIGHLY RECOMMEND read more

This place was good but not out of this world. I had the egg whites omelette and it good but no a wow factors. The service was good while seating at the bar. I asked to sub the potatoes for fruit and I was not informed that there is an up charge. When the bill came, there was a $4 up charge. That is a rip off to be honest. This is why I am given them a 3 star and the food was okay. Communication is key. read more

My family and I came here for breakfast. We were immediately greeted by the hostess who was very friendly. We were seated and our server was very pleasant. I ordered the coastal omelette and the orange sweet rolls with the hot chocolate. The orange sweet rolls missed the mark for me and for it to be a house favorite I thought it could have been better. The coastal omelette and hot chocolate, however, were outstanding! The omelette was full of flavor and packed with crab meat and shrimp. I would definitely recommend this restaurant. Located in a small plaza with ample parking. read more

This breakfast spot was SO good! They had seafood options for breakfast to try. They cooked the fish perfectly. It wasn't too dry. They also have gluten free pancakes and I have to eat low fodmap and ate here easily with no stomach issues. Very grateful for the experience we had :) read more

2/4 dishes we got were outstanding but my lobster Benedict had such a bad fishy taste it was inedible and the tiramisu french toast is very sugary and wish they didn't put such a big scoop of icing. It's just too rich. But the coastal omelet and maque choux are extremely flavorful and highly recommend those two. Service was also phenomenal read more

My wife and I visited Crackings in Destin while on vacation. This is one of our must visits. We started out with Bloody Marys which were quite good even if they were spicier that I expected. My wife had the eggs Benedict Maque Choux and declared it quite excellent. I tried the Huevos Rancheros but I asked for the over medium egg to be scrambled since that I cannot stand a runny egg. It was also quite excellent as well. The server was great and took care of everything for us. The restaurant is clean and comfortable. It is located at the corner of a strip center, but it is easy to get in and out of. Go and try it for yourself. read more

First off, let me just say the grits are absolutely out of this world. I've never had cheesy Gouda grits that compare to theirs. If you don't come for anything else, come for the grits. Service was fast and we had the huevos rancheros and the food portions are massive. My personal favorite are the coffee mugs. read more

The food is wonderful! Second day in a row because the menu is so diverse and delicious.

I'm glad I stopped by today for brunch and live music! The weather was perfect for dining on the patio, service was great, live music outdoors. Christon Burge was such a vibe! I ordered a mimosa flight with WYCLIFF BRUT (you can choose your choice of champagne & juices). So many food options to choose from. I chose the fried red fish, smoked Gouda grits with buttery toast and let me say this is by far the best fish and grits I've ever had hands down! So yummy and very flavorful. Great food, great live music, fantastic service Thank you! (P.S Adding this Gem to my favorites) read more

Great food. It was a little pricy, but you get what you pay for. The staff were excellent. I was part of a party of 15 the Saturday before Mother's Day. We were sat quickly using the join the wait list in the yelp app. Once checked in we were sat within 20-25 minutes. Service was great! Even though the place was packed and there were several parties waiting outside, we didn't feel like we were being rushed. I will definitely be back! My favorite dish was the Maque Choux Benedict. read more

First, I would like to say we started this brunch experience on the recommendation of a mutual friend of the four women on our girls' trip. I am grateful that we followed through on the recommendation. This is a group-friendly brunch spot with a great selection of dishes to choose from. (The Lobster Benedict and Crab Fritters, were to die for! The Croisseignets were delightful.) Our server was extraordinary. Paul, as we learned throughout the service, had experienced a loss of his father. Yet he was so present, kind, and professional with us. (The only reason we knew that he had lost his father, is because we are a very nosy group of women who pushed conversations to probably an uncomfortable place. ‍) He was knowledgeable of the menu and able to offer suggestions without missing a beat. Thank you for your kindness. The atmosphere was geared towards group conversation, and like I said, we are a group of women who push conversations, we talked to our neighboring table. We made friends with Teena and her family from Charlotte, North Carolina! Wow, is all I can say! The food was good, the service was excellent, and the atmosphere was extremely conducive to conversation and fellowship! I would recommend and I will return if ever in Destin again! read more

Food Shrimp and Grits--3/10; get your shrimp n grits fix in New Orleans. I didn't care for the "cajun" flavors and the sausage in the dish. The shrimp portion was appropriate, though. The Texas toast was flavorless. Orange Rolls--3/10; I think Pillsbury is better. I didn't taste yeast, and the orange glaze was meh. Lobster and grits--the grits were creamy, but the lobster wasn't discernible. Compared to the shrimp n grits, it's a much smaller portion size. Service Our server was friendly and attentive. Ambience The restaurant is bright, airy, and clean. read more

Probably one of my favorite meals on our visit to the area. Highly recommend if you can fit it in your schedule. read more

Great food and service. A unique menu with a variety of options. Server was polite and answered all our questions.

This is a go-to breakfast place when visiting Destin. Thankfully we arrived early enough before the rush, seated quickly, and not too loud, able to visit without yelling. Nice bright place, surrounded by windows. Took a min for our waiter to come over and take our order and he wasn't the friendliest:(, had ask for cream with coffee only to receive plain creamer when flavor creamers were noted to be on other tables? When asked for flavored creamer he seemed "put-out", and slide the bowl across the table as walking by? The food was amazing, as it's always consistent. We both ordered breakfast scramblers with Gouda grits, which were good and cheesy! By the time we were leaving they had already started filling up and people waiting. Pays to get there early:) read more
