    Breakfast Sampler + Caramel Frappe
    Inez L.

    I definitely recommend planning ahead and joining their waitlist online *at least* an hour in advance! The wait for us was a bit long because we weren't aware of that, but it was so worth it. Very yummy, filling, and presentable. Staff is so kind, as well! We were seated outside and while it was very humid, it was a nice experience.

    We had breakfast here. The name suggests breakfast is their operation and it was a good suggestion. We ate out front. The atmosphere was very pleasant with the open air. Dahlia served us and took very good care of us. The food was good. Know that they add 20% gratuities to groups. We had 6 in our party.

    Be prepared to wait but also to have your mind blown! The pancakes are HUGE here. Everything is à la carte but don't get fooled. The pancake alone could feed an army. The food was so good, the iced coffee was ice coffee-ing, and the vibes were perfect. Everyone is so friendly and attentive and despite the long wait we weren't made to feel ignored. If you want to feel so full that you feel like you'll explode then come here.

    My wife and I were in Destin for vacation and decided to do brunch at The Pancakery. My wife loves a fight of anything, so when she saw a flight of Mimosas, she had to try them. Heads up warning. The flight of Mimosas are not samples of various flavors, they are full sized Mimosas. I had to help her drink them, since that four is a lot to drink. I liked the cranberry and she liked the mango. My wife had the crepes (see photo) and I had the chorizo burrito. She loved the crepes. My burrito was good, but it really needed a big side of salsa. The restaurant is a nice little place in a strip center and the servers are good. The Pancakery is worth a try, but beware of the Mimosas.

    Service was speedy and pleasant. There is indoor and outdoor (parking lot) seating. Inside it's a little tight with tables. Pancakes were good, light and fluffy - good size - nothing to write home about, have definitely had better ones. The name is a little misleading if you like pancakes as they are just average. Prices were somewhat typical for breakfast 10+. Sausages were a fail for almost $5 - 2 small jimmy dean type and not really even fresh/skip that.

    The Pancakery is a cute breakfast spot with a large menu. The menu ranges from boozy coffees to burgers to benedicts to pancakes. I ordered the breakfast sampler with scrambled eggs, bacon, hash browns, and pancakes. Every part of my meal was simple, yet tasty. I will be back to explore the menu at the Pancakery!

    This place was great. You better get on the waiting list because it will be a wait time. The food was delicious and the service was quick even with the waitress that had an attitude. The ambiance is family friendly and you can eat outside or inside. This is a must go to spot while visiting Destin.

    This was our second breakfast spot during our trip and everything was absolutely delicious. Our waitress Dahlia was very friendly and attentive to our needs. The Pancakery is a super cute local place great for families and couples alike. It is not too noisy and if you sit outside there is plenty of shade.

    We love coming here when we visit Destin. Cute little place to stop in for something quick to eat…read more I have had the French dip and Italiano sandwiches which are both very good. My husband gets the chicken fried steak, and my daughter gets the turkey avocado sandwich. Our favorite part is the pinball machines. They have maybe 8-10 and my daughter especially likes stopping in to play them.

    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.

The whole place is open air, so you won't be escaping that panhandle humidity. The place is also super popular! So come early or be prepared to wait. The tables also tend to be very close. I can't say it's the most relaxing dining experience. But the food is good. I've always gotten the coconut shrimp and the servings are huge! The hush puppies are also so good. The slaw wasn't my favorite though. I also got a yummy virgin banana daiquiri. They also have lots of fun tropical adult beverages and they have a bar out front so if you do have to wait for a table, you do not have to wait for a drink! Our server took care of our party of 8-4 kids and 4 adults--masterfully, never getting flustered by my screaming toddler or our many and varied requests. Great job to him. Also the kids meals are served on a frisbee you can take home--a fun little souvenir. Like I said, this place is a classic and a must go at least once while in the area. The coconut cake is also delicious!
