Cracking a was a hit with our family! The coastal was absolutely amazing. The best breakfast we have had in our years of coming to Destin. The banana foster was also delicious for those with a sweet tooth! The wait times were the only downside--we waited for probably an hour and a half. But needless to say it was worth the wait! read more

Service was great and so was the food, great place. We will definitely be going back.

Crackings was a great breakfast stop in Destin! There was a bit of a wait, but since it was just the two of us, we grabbed seats at the bar, which is first come, first served. It ended up being the perfect spot. The atmosphere is cozy and welcoming, and I absolutely loved the coffee mugs--they were so cute that I would've bought one if they had been for sale! We kept breakfast simple with eggs, bacon, potatoes, and grits. We had actually meant to order the lobster grits, but somehow ended up with the regular grits instead. No complaints, though--they were really good, and as a Southern girl, I know not everyone gets grits right. The service was friendly, the food was delicious, and we'd definitely come back the next time we're in Destin. read more

we wanted to try a new brunch spot and we stumbled upon crackings! we lived about 30 minutes away and we got on the waitlist but still had to wait about 20 minutes before getting seated. it was very busy, which was to be expected for sunday brunch. i ordered the lobster eggs benedict and it unfortunately wasn't my favorite. the lobster cake part wasn't the greatest and it tasted a little fishy. the poached egg was cooked but i was expecting a runny yolk. everything else around that was delicious. the potato's were crispy and well seasoned as well. the country fried steak was absolutely delicious. crispy and the gravy was great. biscuit and pancakes were fluffy and moist. the service was pretty good despite being super busy. overall, our experience was pretty good and we recommend this place for those coming into town to try this place. i recommend getting on the waitlist as well! read more

Crackings was absolutely delicious! Our entire group thoroughly enjoyed the meal. From the drinks to the entrées, everything was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully prepared. While it was on the pricier side, the quality of the food made it well worth it. They also did an excellent job accommodating our large party, which we really appreciated. The only downside was the automatic gratuity. While we understand why many restaurants add it for large groups, we typically prefer to tip based on the level of service, and in our case, we would have gladly left more. Our one suggestion would be to empty the outdoor trash cans more frequently. While we were waiting to be seated, the odor from the overflowing trash was unpleasant enough that we briefly considered leaving before our meal. Thankfully, we stayed, because the food was outstanding and made the visit worthwhile. Overall, we had a great experience and would definitely return. read more

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

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 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

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

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

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

Went by our first choice - Donut Hole in Destin which had a line out the door and down the ramp, so went here as a second choice. The only complaint (minor) was the waitlist feature on Yelp for this place did not work properly - seems the restaurant wants you to arrive and check in to validate your request. Pancake ($3.99 for one, $5.99 for 2, $9.99 for three) pricing doesn't make sense but was very good and large portion. Cheese eggs with bacon and biscuits was solid. The service was helpful and very good. Place was well laid out, clean and enough distance between tables to be comfortable. Definitely a find. read more

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

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

Came to the restaurant and checked in and checked online to be told we have an hour wait. We got the notification that we had 2 ahead of us only to get to the restaurant and be put back in line. Waited another 40 minutes while the others got seated. Terrible front desk service as well. read more
