The burgers are cheaper than going to a fast food place, about 5 dollars for a burger. You can eat a pretty big meal for under 9 bucks.

They must have had a new employee at the drive thru and the order was wrong. They were just ok. I would compare to a concession stand or gas station hot dogs. I wish the bum was steamed , toasted or grilled not just taken out of a Walmart bag.

I had the chicken caprese sandwich and my friend had the chicken salad on croissant . They were both amazing . The caprese sandwich was so tasty and the chicken was nice and juicy . The honey balsamic added just the right amount of sweetness. The chicken salad was flavorful with grapes and nuts it all worked well together . The only complain was the croissant was hard to bite . Overall the food was delicious. Our server was nice and attentive and kept our drinks full. We will definitely be back and I hope to get back for dinner one evening . This is a nice quaint place and the ambiance reminds me of a French cafe .

I didn't want anything heavy so I got the spinach salad with blackened redfish. The food came out really quick and it was alright... Not the best salad I've had, but solid. My one gripe (which is a big one) is that the bill was $37 (w/ tip) for just the salad and and iced tea... Yikes.

My wife and stepson got off a plane and I had to take them somewhere scenic with seafood in the…read moretown of Niceville. The Local's met both criteria. The restaurant is out on the bay with lots of yachts and tables set outside for those photos with your wishing to be yours yacht. Inside, the decor would make you think of a good Ole bar and dining room on the sea. The menu is diverse enough for seafood and non-seafood lovers, like myself. I debated between the meatloaf and reuben. It seems like the Reuben is one of their signature dishes and you can have it made with meatloaf, brisket, or redfish. I decided to have the best of both worlds and went with the meatloaf on the reuben. Excellent choice as the meatloaf was wrapped in bacon, nice and thick, and paired well with the Russian dressing. The best part of the sandwich was the provolone cheese. The rest of my party ordered the redfish reuben, shrimp plate, and fish tacos and seemed to be pleased. Sweet tea was fresh-brewed and refreshingly sweet! I wish I had room for their homemade key lime pie but had to skip on it. The Local's is sure to please everyone with their menu and scenic view.

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!

You cant run a restaurant when you walk in 5 mins before opening and turn on the stove. Its called prep work. This is disappointing to say the lease Sticky bun pretty good.

(I used to work in the restaurant industry so my standards for 5 stars are significantly higher and…read moreI don't give out 5 stars very often). The staff were super friendly and accommodating. Full bar. Plenty of domestic & imported beers on tap or bottled/canned along with mixed drinks and hard seltzers. They even have a couple alcohol-free options and energy drinks. I got 20 boneless wings (10 Lemon Pepper Dry Rub and 10 Honey BBQ). The Honey BBQ was sweet and savory with just the right amount of sauce on the wings. The Lemon Pepper was more on the lemon-y side but not overpowering and had a hint of that pepper kick as an aftertaste. The chicken is juicy with just the right amount of crunch from the breading. The wings are great just as they are but they're better with some ranch dipping sauce (I'm a ranch kinda guy lol). The sweet potato fries have that nice balance between a crunchy outside with a soft inside, sprinkled with salt. The breading on their jumbo onion rings actually sticks to the onion itself and doesn't fall off or disintegrate the minute you bite into it. The ranch sauce is savory, it complements the other textures and flavors well. The overall vibe I get from this place is uplifting but relaxed. They have multiple TVs that're usually playing sports. The floor plan is open and organized. Plenty of room to walk around without feeling like you have to squeeze yourself between chairs. Clean, neat, and orderly. The prices aren't that bad for what you get. It's a little more expensive than your typical restaurant but I also ordered 20 boneless wings, two premium sides, and had a tall Blue Moon but the price is well worth what you're getting. The food tastes AUTHENTIC, like everything they have is made in house. None of it tastes like it comes premade in a bag or a can and they just heat it up before serving. It's what you'd expect in a restaurant like this. If you're in the Destin/Niceville/Crestview area you NEED to come here and get their boneless wings.
