Traditional breakfast with fresh fruit and a coffee for me, more than enough to get you through the day! Cool atmosphere and they even had live music. We will be back! 5

They did not have potatoes as a side or anything. The biscuit doesn't include a side and is still pricey. The drinks and silverware are meant to be self served.

BLUF: Excellent breakfast all day and delicious, fresh donuts in a diner-like atmosphere…read more My party of three arrived at The Donut Hole to a long-ish line down the ramp and I was wondering if it's worth it. It is! The Donut Hole most certainly has diner vibes and I suspect the booths are original to its 1978 origins - both of which made for a nostalgic experience. Although named for the sweet, fried confections, The Donut Hole has a huge menu of breakfast, lunch and dinner items. My table all ordered breakfast even though it was lunch time. The breakfast was awesome - omelettes, pancakes, poached eggs, cheese grits, coffee and the most delicious rye bread. I had the sausage and cheese omelet and there was something about it that made it better than other omelettes I've had. Also, I loved the rye bread - it was sliced thicker than what I am used to and it was very pillowy. I enjoyed it dry but it was also good with a little butter. We waited about 20 or so minutes for a table, but once seated we enjoyed prompt, attentive, excellent service. And's let's not forget to talk about the fresh made donuts! Oh my, there were a lot of flavors to choose from and none of them disappointed. Initially I went with a chocolate frosted and Bavarian cream filled donut. But then a fresh tray of key line donuts came out and I had to get one of those too. My sister ordered a few and we took them back to our rental, cut them in quarters and had a donut tasting party. Delicious! I am looking forward to my return trip to The Donut Hole. A visit to Santa Rosa Beach would not be complete without a stop at The Donut Hole.

Holy tortugas! This place rocks and no wonder it is packed, the word is out…read moreVery smart scheme, they don't need any advertising because it is by word of mouth, our next door neighbor from Pensacola told us about the donuts and other items in the menu I ordered an omelette with mushrooms and cheese and it was like they would have told me to go in the kitchen and make it myself disregarding how big my stomach and my appetite would be, very generous that not even the picture makes justice to how well and generous was. Do you think I left any in my plate? no sir! Wife ordered two fried eggs that come with hash browns and biscuit and she barely finished too. Kathy was our server with a smile from ear to ear that made our day, very patient and took our order quickly and accurately. Considering the number of people in the restaurant our food came out quickly. We asked Kathy about something we saw next table and could not guess what it was on the menu. Apple fritters she said so we ordered one to go, well have it with coffee tomorrow There is a well known breakfast franchise across the highway but they are no competition to the Donut Hole, just simply there is no other place I have been in the Nation that serves as good as this and I have been to quite a few, I wish there was one near home. Place is well lit and inviting with enough personnel to tackle the crowd Place is crazy busy and when we left the line was all the way to the front porch Are we coming back? you bet we will in the week and a half we have left in Paradise. Only about a mile from Topsail Hill State Park and next time we will take the bikes, easy ride on the bike lane on Highway 98

BLUF: Neat building, ok food, bar out back looks like a good time…read more I love the building that Cowgirl Kitchen is located in. It reminds me of a mid-century diner or service station that you would have seen on historic Route 66. While indeed a mid-century building dating back to the 1950s, it was originally a cottage in Seagrove Beach. I love that the owners had the historic cottage relocated when it was threatened by a new subdivision being built in Seagrove. The logistics at Cowgirl Kitchen are that you order inside and then a server will bring the food out to you. We choose to sit on the front patio for a serene environment but I can tell the people out back at Boxcar Annie's were having a great time enjoy live music and cocktails. For food we had a round of grouper sandwiches and a side of chips. My sandwich was good. My sister's was undercooked - pink and jelly-like at the thickest portion. I am sure the staff would have been glad to remedy the situation but we frankly didn't feel like waiting in line at the counter again and then waiting for them to put the fish back on the flattop, or however its cooked. She ate around the undercooked part and we moved on with our day. Another thing that is nice about Cowgirl Kitchen is that it's right net to "The Stalls of 30A" - a unique and fun shopping experience. I always appreciate when I can eat, drink and shop and not have to move the car!

We came in a Saturday morning, to be expected, there was an hour and a half wait. There is little to no parking. We had to make our self a parking spot in the mud. The parking lot had the biggest potholes, it looked like Louisiana!! It was pouring rain so the puddles were huge. There was nonstop traffic in & out. Cars were stopping because they couldn't move on the parking lot. We ending up waiting for about 2 hours. When we got in, we were brought to a table immediately. We ordered a Nutella coffee and YUM!! Husband ordered the stuffed ham & cheese croissant, it was good. I ordered the spring steak omelette AND OMGGGGGG. The garlic Parmesan tots were DELISH. They had a rosemary taste and it was probably the best I ever had. Then we got the berry pancakes & they were very good! They were fluffy and cake like. The berries were fresh and they had cream cheese flavor. The presentation of the food was amazing. Service was amazing. I would LOVE to come back.

Service was excellent, shout out to our server Neila, she was very friendly and attentive. Parking could get tricky when it's busy. We got there early enough so we were able to find a spot right away. It was getting busy as we were leaving and people were waiting for parking spots. Food and coffee were very delicious and very beautiful. We got Pistachio signature coffee, it had Dulce de Leche on the cup with Pistachio crumble. It was delicious and picture perfect. For food we got Omelete Sancho Panza and Pork Belly Ceviche. The omelete Sancho panza was stuffed with chorizo, Bacon, tomato, spring onions and cream cheese topped with melted mozzarella and Spanish Manchego cheese and roasted red pepper. Everything together was delicious. The pork belly Ceviche had avocado with red onions, red pepper, cilantro, lemon juice and smashed fried green plantains. A bite with everything on the fried green plantains was to die for. We will be visiting again for sure next time we are in Destin.

It was raining so we opted to sit inside but if you're not afraid of a little sprinkle outside seating is a vibe. But again, it was Jia and the hostess (I didn't get her name) that made this visit a most pleasurable one.
