    Grouper platter, cheese grits, green beans and hush puppies.
    Arian P.

    The service was great, the food was delicious and the atmosphere is family oriented and has such a hometown feel to it.

    Nicks is along a remote section of the highway and by the amount of cars in the lot we figured it had to be decent. Mostly locals, it seemed. There was a table full of officers who were finishing up their meal when we arrived. There were lots of families, kids of all ages. The walls are lined with some really great pics and memories (maybe of the family?) and also some pretty impressive w trophies from hunting and fishing trips. There's lots to see. I didn't get a pic but my husband had the fish sandwich. It was huge. Three large pieces of fish. Would be enough to share. I ordered a half pound steamed shrimp. It was very tasty. We also ordered a fried shrimp platter that my son and daughter shared along with a grilled cheese for my other kid. The side of hush puppies was more than i realized.... They were really good too. The food was all seasoned well. Only one complaint.... Service was pretty rough. We got there around 1:45.... Waitstaff was frazzled at the hind end of a lunch rush and tho we were seated fairly quickly, we sat quite a while waiting for someone to come address us. Maybe they were just having a bad day? If we were locals, we'd definitely be back. The food was great and the casual mood was just our style. I'd go back with low expectations for a warm welcome tho....

    My $25.00 fried fish meal. Gloppy grits, 4 shrimp, and 2 fish nuggets. I was robbed.

    I drove by this scenic place a hundred times and always told myself I had to eat there. We finally did, and it is just a big regret from start to finish. We ordered 2 seafood dinners and a fried chicken breast dinner. The wife got grilled shrimp and fish, and I got the fried version. First, the chicken...the portion was good, but the chicken was overcooked and dry. My fried fish and shrimp were fine, but for $25.00, it was an absolute ripoff. The fish weren't even whole fillets but 3 inch sections of a larger fillet. Basically, they were 2 fish nuggets. Do the math on this and you quickly realize that you have been had. The wife's grilled was the same meager portions, but to top it off, the skewered shrimp were hammered and tough. Someone forgot about them on the grill or they sat and sat. The cheese grits were anything but creamy. They were actually gloppy and unappealing. The cooks have to had known the grits were obviously gloppy, yet they never took the effort/initiative to heat them up, add some milk, and get them where they needed to be. The place wasn't busy, so they couldn't say they got slammed and lost the quality. Walked out and paid $95.00 for 3 people - no appetizer, no beers, just 3 meals and 3 sodas. Sad.

    Hush puppies and fried green tomatoes

    Good food, friendly service, cute inviting atmosphere! We ordered a few things including fried shrimp, fried fish of the day (tile fish), and hush puppies which are delicious. Also we had fried green tomatoes and crawfish, each very good as well. There are little piglets and chickens roaming the area outside which is so cute and fun for the little ones. Overall great experience, recommend!

    Pigs outside, so cute!

    Love this place. We went there for the crabs as usual and everything was great. One of our "go to" places when we are in Destin.

    The service was very friendly. The food was good/decent. My wife enjoyed the tile fish and I had the blackened grouper and cheese grits.

    Great local place with history and heart. Best fried shrimp on the Gulf Coast! Family owned and operated still, which is rare these days.

    We visited The Local Market because we kept hearing they had "the best Cuban in Destin." After…read moreeating there, I honestly do not understand the hype at all. First off, this is not a real Cuban sandwich. The bread was completely wrong. Real Cuban bread, especially if you've ever had one from Ybor City in Tampa, has a very specific texture and press. I even explained before ordering that I only wanted the outside pressed and toasted, while the inside stays cool. That's how an authentic Cuban is made. Instead, they brought out a sandwich that was heated completely through. The meat, cheese, everything inside was hot. It completely ruined the sandwich. When I politely asked about it, the employee seemed irritated and had an attitude about remaking it. They eventually brought another one out, but honestly it still was not good. The bread tasted wrong and the sandwich itself just wasn't enjoyable. It got worse from there. My grandson ordered chicken tenders and fries. The tenders were bad, and the fries tasted like old grease that should have been changed hours earlier. My wife ordered a shredded chicken and cheese sandwich that honestly smelled questionable, like the chicken may have been turning. The final straw was the fruit cup having visible mold growing in it. At that point we lost our appetite and decided to leave. Very disappointing experience overall. Poor food quality, bad execution, and not worth the money. We will not be returning.

    Gotta love local!!!…read more Got some pizza here on a week day during our Fl summer vaca b/c we were looking for something locally owened. Got the hawaiian, pepperoni and cheesy bread. All super good! Crust was a thin crust, not too paper thin though, so a nice in between of thin and regular. The cheesy bread was SOOOO good! The cheese on the bread was nice and thick and gooey! A+++ on the cheese bread in my opinion. Great helping of cheese. So if you just want cheesy bread that's light or mid on the cheese I would recommend clarifying your preference b/c they're serious about the CHEESE part of the bread! Called ahead to see what the busiest times are and typical wait times, b/c wasn't sure if we should order assuming longer wait times or if we should wait to order until closer to being ready to be hungry enough for everyone to eat. Called and the gal on the phone was SOOO nice and friendly, advised week day order before 5pm and will be ready within 30 mins. Advised we'll order before 5 and will probably put order online and she asked for my name and advised she'll keep an eye for my name to come through, which I thought was just an extra step of nice courtesy that I wasn't expecting and just thought that was so thoughtful! Was about $90 for two big pizzas and the cheesy bread, but SO worth it. The pizzas were also BIG! So was very happy with the portion sizes. Happy to spend this money for the quality and supporting local owned establishments that put out quality product! I would recommend purchasing here over other franchised chains.

We ordered the 10-piece beignets and they came out fresh and piping hot. Absolutely incredible. If something that simple was that good, I can only imagine how amazing the rest of their menu is.
