    Seafood enchiladas

    The food was so good. I ordered the seafood enchiladas. It was a large serving with three enchiladas. My husband ordered fish tacos. The hot sauce had a good flavor. Our server was diligent and took great care of us. The restaurant had comfortable seating and was very clean. I highly recommend.

    Always amazing @ Pepitos. Look no further for soul satisfying authentic Mexican food. It is rare when we can afford to eat at a restaurant nowadays but Pepitos never fails to present some of the best food we eat when we dine out. Thanks again for a fantastic dinner

    This is the best texmex around now that they changed the menu about a year ago. Everything tastes fresh and the shrimp quesadilla is perfection.

    Favorite food in town right now. The people are charming and funny and the liminal backrooms behind the truck remind me of home

We sat outside, enjoyed the live music, and the atmosphere was perfect for a group celebration. Service was quick and attentive, especially considering how busy they were. Food wise, the pimento cheese dip was unfortunately not a hit for our group. It had a very thick, almost paste like consistency and was difficult to spread. I also ordered the corn and crab bisque, and personally was not a fan of the sweeter flavor. For my meal, I ordered the summer salad and absolutely loved it. I finished every bite. Our server also highly recommended the first three fish options on the menu, and everyone who ordered fish completely cleaned their plates. Portion sizes were very generous. The only issue we had was the bride's steak being overcooked, but the manager personally came over, addressed it, and made sure everything was taken care of. Overall, great atmosphere, live music, generous portions, and solid service. A fun spot for groups and celebrations!

    I wish I lived close enough to visit this place regularly…read more My husband got two lunch specials (Tues-Sat, 11am-3pm) to go for us and I can 100% guarantee that you will not find a better special anywhere in the whole state of Florida! I have never come across a better chicken fried steak, although the mashed potatoes and gravy could've been more savory (but I won't hold that against them). It even came with a slice of pie, all for under $15pp!

    ​I really wanted to love Wharf 850. The location right on the water in Niceville is fantastic, and…read morethe views are hard to beat. I'd heard great things about this spot being a local go-to several years ago, so I was looking forward to a solid meal with our large group. ​Unfortunately, the experience just didn't live up to the reputation. It was exceptionally quiet--perhaps because it's the off-season--but even with the lack of a crowd, the food and service were underwhelming across the board. ​A lot of us ordered the burgers, and they were just "okay" at best. I went for the one topped with pulled pork, thinking it would be a highlight, but it really didn't work. The flavors didn't mesh, and it was a structural mess--the whole thing just broke apart and became a struggle to eat. Across our entire large group, I don't think anyone was super impressed with their meal. ​The service didn't help matters, either. We ordered several cocktails, and they were consistently either late or just plain wrong. Since it wasn't a very busy night, there wasn't really a clear reason for the lapse in attention. ​It's a shame because the setting is beautiful, but between the hit-or-miss drinks and the lackluster food, the whole night felt like it missed the mark.

The restaurant is very large with indoor and outdoor dining areas, and it is casual, but classy. Overall, we had a great experience. The host was fine; however, lacked empathy and customer service skills. He was a full 30 seconds ahead of us, and if we wouldn't have been tracking him with our eyes, we wouldn't have known where to sit. By the time we got to the table, he was nowhere to be found; however, the menus were in a pile on the table. Our server, on the other hand, was very pleasant. He was kind, caring and kept us informed and checked in on us frequently. The table shared the crab cakes and the blue crab claws, both of which were very good. Of course, the complimentary hush puppies are definitely a hit as well. For my entree I had the Grouper Louisianne. It was a tasty piece of fish, that came with a great side salad and a super delicious twice baked potato. Other than the host, the other reason for the minus one star, was the unusually long time it took between the salad course and the main course. It was a full 20 minute wait, after we were done with our salads, for the main course to arrive. Otherwise, I would likely try the restaurant again at a future time, if something brought me back to the area.

    Tried Harbor Tavern on Saturday and it's officially a local hidden gem. We actually heard about it…read morefrom our captain on a Tiki Cruise--great recommendation. 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.
