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!
This was my first time and I must say it was a good experience. The food was awesome and the staff was attentive. My only recommendation is to put yourself on the waitlist before you go because it will definitely be a wait. We waited 45 minutes. Other than that no complaints
We stopped by Crackings for a late breakfast and it was absolutely amazing from start to finish. Every dish came out fresh, hot, and full of flavor. You can tell they take real pride in their food, and the portions were generous without sacrificing quality. A huge shoutout to our server, Lyubo, who made the experience even better. He was friendly, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. He checked on us at just the right times, kept everything running smoothly, and made us feel right at home. Great food, great service, and a warm, relaxed atmosphere. Crackings has earned a spot on our list every time we're in Destin. Highly recommend!
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.
Party of 3, came in around 8am and we were sat right away. The hostess and waitress were very friendly. The environment had a cute dine in scene with good blues music playing in the background. We ordered a breakfast sandwich which i recommend to share because it was huge and came with tons of potatoes. The coffees were regular black coffee but loved the themed mugs. We ordered a fruit bowl, which was very fresh. Our absolute favorites were the crab fritters (very tasty), the Gouda smoked grits, and of course, the fried green tomatoes with remoulade sauce.
When we arrived there was a 20 to 30 minute wait. We stalked the bar area and found some seats pretty quick. The service was on point. The food was delicious and I really enjoyed their Gouda grits.
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.
Our server was Sheyla. Our waitress was very attentive and responded to every request. We were very pleased with her service. The restaurant was finely decorated and we enjoyed the decor. The food was excellent. My daughter and I shared dessert which was great and my mother in law and another shared a plate. Highly recommend this place.
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.
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.
The food here was actually quite pleasant! I really enjoyed everything. I would definitely give it a solid 8/10. The place was packed and had great reviews so I had to check it out and it did not disappoint!
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.

We went on a Friday morning around 11am. The place was hopping and the vibe was chill and not overcrowded. We waited about 20 minutes but it was not unpleasant. I recommend getting on the waitlist from Yelp. The food was DELICIOUS. Both my husband and I had the Panhandle scramble. I substituted a biscuit for the English muffin and it was perfectly soft and fluffy. The food was seasoned and the portions were huge. Next time we may just share one. Highly recommend if you are in Destin. read more

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

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

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
