    UP +About magazine was very misleading. The food was probably the worst bar food I have ever had.

    We had such a fun time here. There's a burger truck in the parking lot. That was why we came. While…read morethe guy made the burgers (which are still the best ever!) he said we could wait in the brewery and he'd bring them to us. We walked in on music trivia night. Soooo much fun! The staff and clients were awesome! They also have a where's Waldo kind of game. Hidden daily. One lucky winner and my son was it! They have all sorts of fun community building events and they have games. I just wish we'd found this place earlier. He's living in the east coast now instead of the Gulf Coast. If I get back to this area I will repeat the experience. Get a burger. Hang out with whoever is there- yes- that friendly and I'll drink a few GREAT beers!

    Props Craft Brewery was easily one of the highlights of our Fort Walton trip. I walked in and…read moreimmediately got that friendly neighborhood vibe. Two dogs came by, regulars were chatting, staff made us feel welcomed. And then there was the cat. First perched on a bar stool. Later, without me even noticing, it had wandered down and settled in the seat I was standing in front of at the bar. Maybe it was coincidence, but it felt like one of those small memorable moments that made the whole visit stand out. The Tupelo Tornado had a perfect hoppy kick (9.1ABV). And their Wall of Fame challenge is a fun idea. Between the beer, the atmosphere, and the warm, pet-friendly vibe, Props has the kind of personality you hope to find in a local brewery.

    The place is a cozy, older styled southern restaurant with lots of charm. The waitress we had - I…read morecannot remember her name - was extraordinary and took such good care of my family and I. Three out of four of us had ordered the hamburger steaks and while we waited our waitress checked in on us, refilled drinks multiple times, and kept updating her with the status of our order. We ended up waiting for about 30 minutes when our waitress came back and informed us that the kitchen failed to communicate that they were actually completely out of hamburger steaks. She was super apologetic, asked if there was anything else we wanted, and immediately offered compensation for the issue. We all ordered something else and she got the order in as quickly as possible, came back to check in on us some more, and got her manager to comp one of our meals and some pies for us. The food came out maybe 20 minutes later and everything was hot and fresh. The fried okra was SO GOOD and the chicken was basically falling off the bone. The toast, as seen in the picture, got a little burnt, but my husband had no complaints when he ate it. Overall, our meals were great, the pies were delicious, and the customer service form the waitresses and manager was phenomenal. The being said, this restaurant would 100% be 5 stars for me had the kitchen been communicating with the waitresses. However, they did not and it caused so much unnecessary issues for the waitresses and caused a long wait time for food during my families visit. All in all, this place is worth the try especially for the price point!

    Great food! Best we have had so far on this vacation. Prices, especially the specials are pretty…read moredecent. Friendly service and the restaurant is casual.

    What a crazy experience…read more We go to Buffalo Wild Wings in Rehoboth Beach, Delaware regularly -- honestly, probably weekly -- so we're very familiar with BWW and what a typical experience should be. This Fort Walton Beach location was... something else. We walked in on a very busy Saturday night and there were two hostesses at the front. I wasn't greeted, but I asked if there were seats at the bar. I was told yes, so we walked all the way to the back of the restaurant only to find zero seats at the bar. We walked back to the front and eventually the hostess was able to hear us over the noise and promptly seated us at a table. And the noise was something I've never experienced at a restaurant. While walking back to the front, we heard someone screaming, yelling and clapping. It turned out to be a group of employees approaching a guest's table for a birthday celebration. One server was leading the "celebration" while several others clapped and yelled. It was incredibly loud and, honestly, didn't feel joyful or fun. It was more startling and obnoxious than celebratory. The hostess herself was wincing at the noise, and we certainly weren't the only guests who looked uncomfortable. Our server was nice enough, but the service was very scattered. She brought our drinks but forgot one. When our food arrived, we asked for the missing drink again. About 20 minutes later, when the food came out, she asked if we wanted to move to a booth. We agreed because it would give us more room. Unfortunately, the booth had its own issues. Our hair was literally blowing around, food wrappers were blowing, napkins were blowing, and it was cold and windy sitting there. We stayed because at least we had more space. She also didn't bring silverware, so I couldn't even eat my cauliflower until I finally asked for utensils. Then came another unexpected experience: while we were waiting for our food, two small boys came running down the aisle with a cardboard box filled with random bags of candy and chips, selling them to tables and servers. This wasn't a school fundraiser or anything that was explained to us. It appeared that someone had purchased snacks somewhere and brought them into the restaurant to sell. I saw Funyuns and Sour Patch Kids. At one table, one child walked around with the box while another stood back shaking a box of candy like a musical instrument. It was just... bizarre. And then, before we even finished eating, another birthday celebration started at the table next to us. Here comes the screaming again. I literally plugged my ears. The person leading the birthday song noticed me, stopped for a second and laughed, then continued. I understand that birthdays are supposed to be fun, but there has to be a happy medium. This was so loud that it was genuinely uncomfortable. By the end, we asked for a box, the check and a bottle of hot sauce. Our server had to come back three or four times because something had been forgotten each time. She forgot to get our phone number once, forgot the box the next time, and we eventually just decided it was time to leave. To be fair, it was a packed Saturday night, and I understand that restaurants get busy. But this wasn't simply a case of slow service. It was the combination of the incorrect seating information, extremely loud birthday performances, cold/windy seating, missing silverware and drinks, repeated forgotten requests, and the unexpected candy sales happening throughout the dining room. Unfortunately, the service and overall experience continued to be disappointing. At the end of the meal, we weren't given an itemized check, so we had no way of knowing exactly what we were charged for. That's especially frustrating when the experience itself was already less than great. And I completely forgot until afterward that one of our chicken wing meals was supposed to come with 10 pieces and only had 9. Obviously, one missing wing isn't enough for us to complain about, but it certainly wasn't a great detail to add to an already disappointing experience. We kept looking at each other thinking, What is happening here? We love BWW and have plenty of great experiences at our usual location. This Fort Walton Beach visit was just wow. Definitely an experience we won't forget -- although probably not for the reasons the restaurant intended.

    We visited this place again ~ yesterday it was for lunch…read more The server was completely rude with subpar performance.. being reminded to bring the ranch dip (which she forgot to deliver) caused her to comment that we were making her work for her money today with an ugly attitude. She made the entire group at the table feel uncomfortable. Disrespecting customers during their visit - their lunch break - is pathetic. This restaurant serves wings to customers that are mostly regulars choosing to spend their time and hard earned money there - to be treated as a bother is unacceptable.

    Friend of mine going back to high school days and I headed over here to hear a friend of his, whom…read moreI had met in Puebla last year, play bass in the Lips Manley band, Saturday evening. Ronnie brought his guitar and sat in. Great music. Great vibes. Truly festive ambience with lots a people being handled well by the waitstaff. O e of those magical afternoon s. Ronnie and I both opted for the AJ fish sandwich. And it was good enough. Nice, clean, neutral fish. Very enjoyable. I'd recommend it. But like me, you will probably want to scrape off the breading which was like wet panko. So instead of the usual food photos here are some videos for you to enjoy (if Yelp can do them)

    I ordered the oyster Rockefeller and I have to say it was seriously disappointing…read more It only had 6 to an order and since nothing else came with it I knew one order would not come close to filling me so I got two orders and an order of fries. Thank GOD I got the fries or I would have starved. Normally you will have oysters as the base in this dish. Along with breadcrumbs, spinach, bacon and cheese. This was totally missing the oysters. Not one out of 12 had a single oyster! I know they will claim they were chopped up and in the mix however that is not so. It had zero taste of oysters. It was simply mush scooped onto an oyster shell. I couldn't even finish eating it. It was disgusting! The patrons in restaurant did look like they were having fun though. It was karaoke night and they had a decent crowd. So if you're looking for fun and drinks you should have fun but you will have to get really drunk to enjoy the food because it sucked!
