I enjoy coming to the Eagles nest especially on the weekends for their brunch. One of my favorite dishes is the Shrimp and Grits! The gravy placed on top is a game changer! Thanks Chloe for wonderful service and the ambience is always happy. Keep up the great work! RG1 read more

Eagle's Nest at Blackwater - Shrimp & Grits are the best!! - Gastropubs Near Me - Crestview, Florida

I ate here for the first and last time today. The service was really good, but the food was not. I had the ribeye and it was really tough, the broccoli was under cooked, and the mashed potatoes were too heavy with garlic. read more

Food overpriced and not of caliber that is advertised. The wait staff is great, the food is not. It used to be before the original Chef left. read more

Overpriced mediocre food. Nice location but that's about it. We got the chicken Marsala and burger. Kids burger bun was very tough and chewy and extra well done. Chicken was bland read more

So third time trying After waiting 31 minutes from seating to being greeted and offered a drink Another 45 minutes for COLD FOOD That wasn't even made right I am at a loss for words It seems on the odd occasion they are good they can be excellent but it is not good odds on decent food or service They did have a band playing that was entertaining read more

We've been in a handful of times, and the first couple, there seemed to be real promise. Last time, most of us found the food just OK except the one person getting more than their money's worth of crab legs. This time, we understood why service was on the slow side, with live music going on outside, and welcomed the chance to sit and talk, but the food ranged from delicious to disappointing. Orders: - parm truffle fries: ok but everything was under the fries, so the bottom 1/3 was SO HEAVY with the truffle oil compared to the top as to be unpleasant. - whatever the sweet potato loaded tots are, minus bacon: Amazing. No notes. - Whatever the vampire wing flavor is: needs more garlic. kidding!! delicious - Fish and chips: didn't see a problem here, but friend complained hers was too big - Ribeye: disappointing, very gristly. Broccoli side was neither trimmed nor particularly cooked. O'rings were soft, not crisp, even when fresh. - Meat in the Reuben was so overdone that my adult child mistook part of it for bacon. Fries and beer cheese were tasty, though - berry salad: salad generically fine, $8 steak tips add on appeared to be frozen, processed "steak-ums" or similar rather rthan anything fresh or house-made. This place started out with such promise... I hope they can get back to that standard again, but I'm not in any hurry to go back and give them another try! read more

Found a new favorite spot for good food and drinks. You can tell Eagle's Nest cares about every plate they deliver to each customer. The quality of the food was *chefs kiss*. Every single bite did not disappoint. Even better? Sophie was an absolute gem of a server! Would come back just for her service alone! Excited to try every menu item! read more

Great service, great food and reasonable prices. I particularly like the Berry Bliss salad and Fish and Chips. Sandwiches are also great and the all-you-can-eat crab nights are fun once in a while ($40)... read more

We used to enjoy going for special occasions and last Valentine's day the menu and food was FANTASTIC! We went 6 weeks later to celebrate a birthday and what a disappointment! The menu had changed (it was fixed for V-day) and our favorite wasn't there. The place stuck like a wet, sour, mop. We ended up ordering just a hamburger and they wanted another $3.99 for french fries! Left very disappointed and haven't been back. Wish I knew what happened as we had raved about it to our friends... read more

The Good: Meal was good; clean dining area and restrooms. The Bad: We made reservations ahead of time but after we ordered, we waited more than an hour for our meals to be served. More Bad: Drink prices. $12 for a regular-size (16 oz) mug of beer brewed by a local craft brewery; 22 oz was $18! For context, the same beer at 3rd Planet Brewery is $7. Sorry, but that's a rip-off. read more

Went there for my birthday and enjoyed our meal. My son had the steak and it was really really good. Great atmosphere and plenty of room for big groups. read more

Great food and service. A but in the pricey side but they use really good ingredients. Bathrooms...they need some love. read more

I feel bad about making another negative review, but after waiting a month since my first review, I decided to give them a second chance. They have their pricing set to present themselves as a high end restaurant, but ambience, service, price, and food, don't measure up. Last night I tried their weekly prime rib dinner at $40, plus drink, plus tip for total around $55. Had to ask twice for dressing for salad, then had to search other tables for salt and pepper. Not a game changer, but would have been nice to have some bread. Prime rib was over cooked, and almost impossible to cut with a knife. Had to ask for a steak knife, by the way. Ate about half of it, and gave up. Restaurant needs to put some serious thoughts into providing an experience worthy of their pricing. I have to assume they feel they have a captive audience with the golf course business, so you take what you can get. Will probably not give them a third chance. read more

From brunch menu to their everyday menu food has always been wonderful!! The French onion soup, wings, and the Sami sandwich are all so good!! Can't wait to try the rest of the menu!! read more

Great food and service! The prices are very reasonable especially for a quality meal. Great location as well!

We gave this place two tries. We came opening night for The first time, and I got the pork chop for dinner. It came with the carrots and the sweet potatoes. The portion was nice and the presentation was fantastic. Unfortunately my pork chop was a bit dry and not very flavorful. I don't usually reach for the salt and pepper on the table, but the pork needed just a bit more seasoning. The carrots were also hard/crunchy and not tender as I was hoping. I felt like this place has so much potential so we went a second time a couple weeks later. That time, I got the corned beef with garlic mashed potatoes and collards. The corned beef had great flavor, and I loved the fatty parts of the corned beef. The collards were very very salty and the garlic mashed potatoes had a weird aftertaste. I feel like they may not taste their food when they're seasoning it. I want to keep giving this place a chance. Maybe I'll have to try something else next time. Overall the place is very nicely decorated and the staff is accommodating. The food just needs some slight improvements! This place has a bunch of potential. read more

Had the Hawaiian pizza-so good! This will be my place for pizza :-). I've had the burger-will try the chicken sandwich next

Went for lunch with a friend. We were greeted and seated quickly. Ordered sandwiches. I had a club and she had the reuben. Both came with fries. Everything was good. Service was attentive but not bothersome. The price of each lunch was $17.51, which is pretty good these days. We'll definitely go back. read more

We came in with a table of 4 and waited over an hour for food. We kept asking for updates and had to hunt people down. Tables around us that got there after us got their food way before us. Also it seemed like (and i dont know im making assumptions) but seemed like the tables that had all white people on it got their food first. Also the owner tried to tell us it was gonna be ok and was literally touching us and rubbing our backs like an uncomfortable amount. At the end of it we didnt even get a discount or anything for waiting forever. The venue is beautiful and it has so much potential but it needs new management, owners, staff, etc. side note. The 2 tables next to us (none of them white) also waited over an hr and ended leaving and never getting their food. read more

While this is a golf course, the restaurant is recently has had a complete remodel and the food, drinks and weekend music and definitely worth the time. The golf course is a lot of fun I play there at least twice a month. read more

Came here a couple weeks ago for the prime rib and it was spot on. Went back again tonight for the all you can eat crab legs and they were awesome. Definitely got our money's worth. Cheesecake is excellent as well. Great staff and the owners went out of their way to make you feel welcomed. Highly recommend! read more

Excellent place to eat and to just relax and enjoy with friends and family . Good food and menu options that are not something you will typically prepare yourself read more

This place is AMAZING! It's relatively quiet, with exception to fellow patrons, of course. Smells great, good amount of lighting. Darn delicious food! The waitstaff is not overly chatty and clingy/annoying. They were perfect! Checked up on us at our precise desired intervals. For the quality and quantities, the prices are fantastic! It was a wonderful, fun outing for my children and I. We got the Leave Me Alone, I Don't Know, One Heck of a Reuben, and I got the Red Bay Shrimp Corn Tortilla Tacos. For appetisers, we got the Giant Bavarian Pretzel, Black Truffle Parmesan Fries, Honey Butter Cornbread, and free chips and amazing salsa was also furnished. We had Tres Leches cake for dessert. With lemonade and unsweet tea/lemonade. We have SO MANY leftovers!!! We'll definitely be back! FIVE STARS! read more

My family and I went here on a Saturday night and 3 of us got really bad food poisoning. We all had the smash burger and it tasted okay and it looked fine but before we even left all of our stomachs were hurting. I'm assuming it was a contamination issue... I've never been this sick in my life! I really hate that this happened, this was my first time visiting and it looked like such a good hangout spot but we will never be back. read more

Take out was horrible. The food itself was mediocre at best. The food is not worth the price.

Pass this one by. Not worth time or money. Food tastes really weird. Soggy sandwiches and chicken that tastes like they used pickling spices. read more

Let's get into the all you can eat crab legs. Not bad at all. Service was moving and had crab legs coming in and out. A nice bang for your buck. I think it's like $37 for all you can eat. It packs out and I think it starts at 4:30. Customer service was good. They always made sure my table was taken care of. Don't compare it to Juicy crab lol. read more

The food was ok I had the brisket more fat than meat. The place was nice and clean. The staff was friendly husband had the western burger and he said it was good. read more

Fries were dry and stale, food was mediocre had high hopes but was disappointed. Bartender wasn't good either had a bad attitude

Made a reservation to celebrate two birthdays. I got my confirmation for 4/7/24 at 5 PM. got a reminder on the 7th to reconfirm my reservation and got there 5 minutes early, and they were closed! They close at 3 on Sundays yet all websites including this one and Facebook have it listed as open even though they aren't. I'm from out of town so l assumed my reservation was good. now searching for a place to eat. read more

If you are a prime rib fan you can not beat this place. 40 bucks for 3 delish courses. The star of the show did not disappoint. Very good! Highly recommend. read more

Brunch was good and filling. The service was awesome and I enjoyed the biscuits and gravy.

Absolutely love this place! Our first visit was a party of 6. The wait staff was so friendly and everyone was on their toes being attentive to every patron. Everyone got something different so that we could share appetizers and entrees. From the burgers to the sweet potato fritters. Chefs kiss! We've been back and will keep going back where the service is great, the people are friendly, and the food is amazing! read more

The eagle has landed! Amazing Food and amazing vibes, upscale cocktails and upscale dining, what we need. They have a full bar menu with pizza and eta. Highly recommended! read more

heard such great things about this place so i took my family to check things out, we arrived shortly after 11 and were the first ones there, followed by a few others. we quickly placed our order (2 wings and a kids pizza) and it took 45 minutes to make its way to us, we heard other servers saying the kitchen was a slow start and servers called out. we never received refills on drinks or any updates on food. when we had finished eating we asked for the check, after receiving the check it took another 15 minutes just to have it collected, i fully understand if it had been busy, but it just wasn't. we watched our server and management tend to others, but honestly dont think we will be back. food was ok, but service just lacked. read more

I call this review "A Work in Progress". Having lived in Crestview for over 10 years I am the first person in line to welcome and support a good restaurant. God knows that Crestview is a culinary waste land. Before I wrote this review, I visited Eagle's Nest for lunch and dinner. I had their smash burger and my wife had the Reuben. Both selections were excellent, though the fries came out cold. As a golfer myself, I find the menu selection about right for a Golf Course restaurant, though maybe slightly high in price. Where I believe the restaurant needs to reinvent itself is the dinner menu. My wife and I went there on a Thursday so Barbeque Plates were the special for the evening. The portions were adequate and the taste was fine. My biggest issue is the pricing of this meal and the entire dinner menu. $22 for a single meat selection with two sides would be fine if you didn't have another local restaurant that had the same offering (albeit better tasting) at $17. In addition, the main dinner menu, once again, had a price point that, in my opinion, is extremely high for the ambiance and quality of food. Again, this is Crestview, and, if you want to charge Destin prices, you need to provide Destin quality. Here is a quick suggestion. Make the meeting room area a fine dining area, ie table cloths, no TVs, etc. For me, sitting in a diner both and my dinner costing over $100 just doesn't hack it. read more
