He has declared that we must go back multiple times during this year's trip. We just got in tow and we're going to eat there tonight. The chicken is absolutely amazing! It has such good flavor and wasn't dry at all. The fried plantains and fried rice was also very good but I loved the fried yucca. We got a whole chicken and 2 sides for the two of us and it was way more food than we needed. We were able to have left overs, so it is a great value too!

I really appreciated that the menu is small and easy to read -- no overwhelming choices, just really good ones. The combinations are well thought out, and whether you're in the mood for rotisserie chicken or fried chicken, you honestly can't go wrong. I ordered the Tender Chicken Sandwich, and wow -- the sauce absolutely made it. So flavorful and just the right touch to pull everything together. The décor is awesome (I'll be posting photos!) and gives the place a fun, relaxed vibe. Even though they were super busy when we were there, the service was still great. The employees kept smiling and stayed on top of everything, which says a lot when a place is slammed. We'll definitely be back to chill and enjoy some more delicious food.

We wanted to be closer to the outlet malls since I wanted to see what they had. In checking Yelp, Waldo's had good reviews so off we went. It was a late lunch so the place wasn't hopping. We got seated in a booth and my wife ordered their chicken tenders and I trued their rotisserie chicken plate. Food came out fast...and much to my chagrin, that rotisserie chicken looked malnourished. The flavor was good but portions were miserly. The coleslaw was quite good with just a hint of sweetness. My wife thought her tenders were good but nothing special. All in all, if we had to do it all over again, we probably would've tried another place.

The Most Disappointing Wings in Destin…read more $22 for 10 tiny, overcooked, baby-sized wings -- no sides, no drink, not even a hint of flavor to justify it. I honestly thought it was a joke when I opened the box. Sadly, it wasn't. We usually get our wings from Merlin's, and they never miss. But a "friend" (who I will not be taking food advice from ever again) convinced us to give Wing Stop in Destin a try. Big mistake. Huge. Between the price, the sad little wings, and the overcooked mess they called dinner, this was one of the most disappointing takeout experiences I've had in years. Save your money and your appetite -- we definitely won't be back.

Ok, I'll make this short and direct, boneless wings flavors were spot on and the cook and temperature was great, the downside these seemed to have more breading and less chicken. Lots of crunch, but ratio is off. Fries, good, kind of crispy but lacking, oil needs to be changed, obvious with all the rushing I saw this isn't the priority. Ordered heavily seasoned, they were not, actually under seasoned. Not bad overall, but had much better Wingstop in the past. The staff here was working hard, but clearly at prime time on a Saturday night they need a manager there on premises. When I walked in a few people told me they had been waiting over an hour. Too much breading, fries didn't taste fresh, doesn't seem to be a staff busting their butt problem.

Upon arrival we were greeted by Liberty yes, Liberty Liberty Liberty Liberty... THAT Liberty. Sounds like a commercial, delivers like a Super Bowl ad. Outstanding attitude, sharp attention to detail, and customer service smoother than a Florida sunset. She was on point from jump street. And at about 5'8", she was officially taller than everyone I came with. I won't name names... but let's just say I was rolling with the Seven Dwarfs. Now let's talk food: * One ordered the Buffalo Chicken Sandwich demolished. * I ordered the Chicken Club - stacked, juicy, no regrets. * One went all in on the wings - crispy, sauced right, zero leftovers. * The fourth brave soul tackled the giant burger thing looked like it needed its own zip code. Everything was outstanding. Fresh, hot, flavorful no complaints, no survivors. The location? Clean, spacious, TVs everywhere, great outdoor seating with a view that makes you want to cancel your responsibilities and stay for overtime. This is absolutely a go-to spot to catch a game and hang with friends. Unfortunately for us, this trip is all business. We probably won't make it back this week but if you're in Destin and debating where to eat, stop thinking and go. And when you do? Ask for Liberty. She'll make sure you're taken care of like VIPs... even if you roll in with a crew of "vertically challenged" coworkers. Wings handled. Business handled. Liberty handled everything else.

We went with the classic hot wings and fries, and were served rather quickly. Wing sauce was on point as well as the wings were cooked and not dry. Hot fries complimented the wings and by far best wings in town. Service was great and checked up on us frequently. Great experience and recommend anyone interested in a cold beverage needing some wing or pizza should definitely give Buffalo Jacks a try.
