    #4 Cookies & Cream

    Service was really bad, you can tell the waitress is nice but either didn't care or just had a long day. The food was good, definitely better places very close by. We would not come again but it was an easy place to stop and grab a quick bite (and dessert) after shopping!

    Honestly they earn their overall rating. [[HIGHLIGHT]]While the inside of this place looks amazing and what you'd expect from something in the Destin Commons[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] and my service was good enough, everything else falls extremely flat. The burger was really small in comparison to the advertisement, it was ordered medium and came out a hockey puck, the crab smelled and tasted fishy which is a sign it is either close to bad or it's is far from fresh, the butter tasted like milk had soured, they were out of mint for mojitos as if there isn't grocery stores nearby they could easily rectify this with, some of my crab was still cold. The fries are cooked in old grease and [[HIGHLIGHT]]honestly as cool as the robots are they really are in the way in a place with a small floor plan.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Overall this place is very mid and was a huge let down for me.

    Chocolate supreme shake

    First time here. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Wasn't too busy and staff moderately attentive.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I ordered the waygu burger and it was delicious. Wife got the mushroom and grilled chicken burger and it was as well. The chocolate supreme shake will bring on diabetes. The robot server thing was too gimmicky and wait staff spent more time futzing with it than if they just brought the food.

    Fried Shrimp Basket
    Ashley D.

    Loved the beachy vibe of the restaurant. But did not love the robot machine delivering our food followed by someone serving it. It seemed odd. We had the shrimp basket, burger, and tenders and everything was very good. Get the fries instead of the tots. Tots come out overdone. Drinks are worth the price!

    Southern House Salad
    Shan E.

    So I have cistern Destin a bunch of times and I have never eaten here. I was in the mood for a good salad and this place came up on Yelp as near me. There was no wait. You can opt to have your order taken or scan the QR code and place and pay for your order. We had our order taken I don't trust all QR codes I had the shrimp and chicken southern salad. I also had the loaded fries. My husband had a burger. The fries were PERFECT. The shrimp on the salad were seasoned perfectly. The chicken was ok. The dressing was watery. The cool thing is a reboot brings out the food! I saw they have massive milkshakes

    Alabama - super dry and hard chicken wing on top of the most bland burger I've ever had. We all thought everything was bland.
    Jane R.

    The most bland burger, ever. We went here after a movie. I got the Alabama with mac and cheese. It was so tasteless to me that I drenched it in ketchup and mustard. My SIL took out her bacon because she doesn't like bacon on her meals, and even adding that to my burger barely made a dent. I eventually added salt and pepper, which I never do, and then I could taste some salt. I didn't want to be the Debbie Downer so I didn't say anything, until my SIL made a comment about adding a lot of ketchup because she also thought it was bland. She then added salt later on as well. The salt grinder was almost empty and I made the joke that everybody else probably felt the same, hence it's almost empty. She got the Florida burger. Also, apparently her eggs were too overdone, so she scraped them off. My husband rarely complains about food, but when we got home, he was saying he would have enjoyed frozen burgers from a store, cooked at home. Please save your $14. You're better off going to McDonald's.

    The Peanut Butter Category Five Shake

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]This place is a very cool and nice environment to sit down and just eat some food.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] If youre in the mood for some burgers then this place is definitely a spot to get one, but let me tell you about this place. When I went, there wasnt much waiters/waitresses working, it started at 2 and then eventually one other person started working, we ordered the loaded tots to start us out, that in my opinion was the best thing i ate today, but it took about 30 minutes for the appetizers to come out. Shortly after the food eventually came out, I got the Florida Burger with fries, now the burger was ok. It didnt have too much flavor and they overloaded the burger with spinach to say the least. The fries I thought were pretty good though. After we ate we decided to get there Category 5 Shakes. I got the peanut butter shake and it was great! They come in jars that you get to keep and theres a good amount inside of the jar. Also all the food is carried out by robots, I thought that was pretty cool. All around, this place is pretty good, i've had better burgers but those tots and shakes are pretty hard to top.

We came here and the wonton appetizer was amazing. We had a burger, a patty melt, and I got the buffalo chicken sandwich. Our waitress was attentive, and checked on us in a reasonable amount of time. She was good with meeting our needs and bringing back items requested. The atmosphere is welcoming, the music they play is amazing and inclusive to all and the people were are all welcoming. First off, food came out piping hot, and they have these unique fries and they were amazing. This spot definitely exceeded my expectations and I will gladly return on our next visit to Destin.

The space has a cool indoor/outdoor setup, and the night we went they had live music, which made the whole place feel really lively. We sat inside but could still enjoy the music while catching some basketball games. The menu leans Mediterranean and everything looked incredible. We started with the tzatziki, shrimp wonton rolls, and potstickers. All three were great, but the shrimp wonton rolls were my favorite. For my main, I ordered the grilled shrimp pita (loaded with shrimp) with fries--definitely hit the spot. Around the table we also had burgers, a Mediterranean bowl, and pork belly tacos, and everyone loved their meals. We were so full we didn't even make it to dessert. Overall, great vibe, great food, and a fun atmosphere. Definitely worth checking out--just plan on taking an Uber or Lyft since parking is limited.

Don't matter which city we are in it never fails. Things to add before the service. Party of 5, automatic gratuity. 3 percent add for paying with card. Remember we had to tip 18 percent for this service so why would the server give two shi about us. They were already getting the tip. And we only had two adults and three kids (2 at 14). Served nachos, never given any silverware. Went to front grabbed it myself. Fast forward, not to much on the drink refill or clearing an appetizer meal off the table because the tables are average size. Had to ask for those refills, and just water. Time to pay. No clue where the server was then, seen the server standing up front near the entrance. Then Watched other tables get drink refills, and actually pay and began to leave. Wife had to go to the counter to get the bill. Then I went to the counter to pay the bill. Christ our luck sucks. Let's get to the food. Philly steak, boneless wings, kid got a monster burger, and sliders. Guess what, the food is as absolutely great! Go try the food.. other tables were getting. The service you'd expect since you are forced an automatic 18 percent.

    My husband and I stopped at Smashburger in Destin because the aroma coming from the restaurant was…read moreso inviting while we were shopping nearby. Unfortunately, what started as a promising experience quickly turned into one that left us uncomfortable and unable to eat the food we ordered. When we entered, the restaurant was fairly busy, but it did not take long to place our order. While waiting, we observed a cashier who appeared to be assisting with both customer service and food preparation. Repeatedly, she would remove her hat, touch and rub her hair, wipe her face and mouth area, handle cash and customer transactions, and then return to the food preparation area without washing or sanitizing her hands. We watched this happen multiple times. As we continued waiting, we also noticed DoorDash drivers and other delivery personnel accessing and handling bags in the pickup area. Some appeared to be looking through or touching bags while searching for their orders. This created confusion and made it difficult to tell whether customer orders were being properly secured before pickup. The final concern occurred when the same employee who had been touching her face and hair returned to the food preparation area and began assembling order bags. We observed her pick up a serving of fries and place them into a bag without first cleaning her hands. At that point, we no longer felt comfortable consuming the food. As a result, we left behind our milkshakes, Smashburgers, and fries and only kept our sealed bottled water and bottled beverage. Losing the money was disappointing, but we were more concerned about food safety. Beyond the hygiene concerns, the overall order assembly and pickup process seemed disorganized. There appeared to be little separation between customer service, food preparation, and delivery pickup activities. Additional training, clearer procedures, and better control of the food assembly area could go a long way toward improving both food safety and customer confidence. We chose Smashburger because it smelled amazing from outside, and we were genuinely excited to try it. Unfortunately, our experience left us unable to enjoy the meal we purchased.
