    Avocado ala dogshit!
    Biff M.

    Still in waiting.... If you are reading this pull forward...oh, when you get your food the avocado is from last month!!! $50 for inedible food!

    Left hungry

    Something like a three from me. Honestly, I never really feel Panera is a good value proposition. I spent $30 bucks for the two of us and left hungry. I got half a small sandwich and a cup of soup. You know, they were out of a lot of stuff too. Thought it was odd you could get a side of mac and cheese but you couldn't order it as a meal. And that whole rapid ordering system was really confusing. ...the kids working there we're dumbfounded too when I got a text the food was ready but wasn't. Do this, do that, wait here, no we'll call you. What did you order? Awkwarrrd!!! I could have done a whole lot better at Publix.

    I have given this place so many chances, only because Panera has pretty good. However, they have the slowest drive thru service everrrrrr... it's a little overpriced for what you get, which I don't mind if you get my order correct. Today, 05/29/2023, was the last straw, I made a DoorDash order so I paid a premium for my order, see photo of receipt. Part of my order was 6 bagels, tub of cream cheese, and a tub chive onion smear. The receipt has boxes to check off to insure the items are bagged, of course they didn't use their own system to insure order accuracy and I didn't receive my cream cheese or chive onion smear... now I have a six pack of bagels that are basically worthless. I'm done with the Niceville Panera location. Of course I'm sure this will fall on deaf ears, as I can see they never respond to any reviews. Update: so I followed the instructions on the bottom of the receipt and called the speak with the manager, Jessica. She politely apologized, and said she would pass along because order accuracy is important. She never offered to make it right or correct the order, and then said if there's ever anything she can help me with in the future let her know. I politely told her that there will not be a next time. Not sure what your corporate policy is. Too bad it isn't correcting the issue and actually offering a solution.

    Lousy service and stale, foul (spoiled) tasting food. Paid via app. Maybe it's better if they make it in front of customers.

    My son and I check out of our hotel and needed spot to for breakfast. Our target? A charming little…read morecafé that looked like it had big dreams and about 85% of the throw pillows to prove it. We grabbed seats at the bar--prime real estate for both people-watching and silent negotiations with the universe about how long coffee should take to arrive. The menu got a thorough inspection while we waited. And waited. Not a hostile wait. More like... a polite standoff between us and the concept of service. Eventually, victory. Orders placed. I went all in: biscuits and sausage gravy, eggs over easy, maple bacon--the kind of breakfast that doesn't whisper "good morning," it kicks the door in and demands respect. My son went classic with French toast and sausage, a choice that says, "I trust the fundamentals." Now, let's talk ambiance. Coffee in paper cups. Not a dealbreaker, but it does send a subtle message: "We're still figuring some things out." The interior felt like a Pinterest board mid-argument--close, but not quite ready for the reveal episode. Service? Nice. Professional. Also slightly resembling a live-action game of pinball. Our waitress was great, but the overall flow had a certain freestyle jazz quality--improvised, energetic, and occasionally confusing. Refills were more of a "self-reflection exercise" than an offered service, so ordering extra water was a tactical masterstroke. But then... the food arrived. And just like that, all sins were forgiven. That biscuit and sausage gravy? Absolute bullseye. The kind of dish that makes you pause mid-bite and question whether your childhood memories have been quietly outperformed. It didn't just taste homemade--it tasted like someone's mom was in the back, judging everyone and getting it right. The French toast held its own--golden, solid, no nonsense. Exactly what it needed to be. So here's the deal: the service may have been running a little behind the breakfast parade, but the food? Leading the band, confetti cannon and all. Final verdict: 4 stars. Not because it couldn't be 5--but because it's this close. Tighten up the service, ditch the paper cups, finish decorating like you mean it, and you've got a heavyweight contender. Until then, it remains a gem--slightly unpolished, but absolutely worth the stop.

    Just WOW! The service was great, prompt and friendly. A good basic breakfast and lunch menu, but…read moredon't miss the pastry case! It's full of yummy choices - one of us had the gooey bun and raved about it! The eggs and grits were cooked perfectly and came out hot! The highlight is the maple bacon - both of us loved it! This is a laid back local joint with great food and a family feel to it. We will definitely be back on our next trip through Florida! BTW we were going to take pictures of the food but we couldn't wait to eat it, oops!

    I'll be honest--when we pulled up to Basil & Baxter's Kitchen for a group dinner, I had no idea…read morewhat to expect. From the outside, the place looks small and quite unassuming. But as the saying goes: never judge a book by its cover. We were absolutely blown away by the experience. Despite the modest exterior, the food is nothing short of world-class. I ordered the ribeye, and it was cooked to absolute perfection--tender, flavorful, and easily one of the best steaks I've had in a long time. Since we were a large group, we ended up ordering a significant portion of the menu. Between us, we tried the fish, shrimp, and various pasta plates. It felt like we sampled almost everything they offer, and every single dish was an absolute hit. It's rare to find a place where the entire table is equally impressed with their meal, but Basil & Baxter's pulled it off effortlessly. Beyond the incredible kitchen, the service was outstanding. The staff was attentive, welcoming, and handled our group with the kind of professionalism that makes a night out feel special. If you're in Niceville, do not pass this place up. It might look humble from the street, but the flavors and hospitality inside are massive. We will definitely be back!

    We have been here a few times over the last few years. We have been with a group of 8-10 and all…read morehave had great meals. This particular Thursday night was a little off. They are always busy with tables and to go orders. There must of been new bartender. My husband and I had ordered the mock Butterfly and Lemonade drink we had previously and enjoyed. The first time we had it, it came out in a regular tall water glass. This time it came in a martini glass and the first sip was....OMG strong with liquor. We sent them back to get the nonalcoholic drinks and they came back in a whisky glass, not the taller water glass. Not sure if this was a mistake or they really raised their prices. The lemonade drink with a little color added to it is $7! But, the food is always delicious. My husband had the pot pie and it was the size of a regular 12 inch pie! I had the pork chop which was thick and tender. Some in our party love the bisque soup and order a bowl, which is huge. The cup size was more what we expect as a bowl size. The shrimp and grits is phenomenal too, which I have personally tried. Service is great and friendly. You are given a basket of delicious crusty warm buns comped but if you ask for more (which we did) note that they are .50 cents each. We will continue to visit this restaurant each winter while we are here.
