This is a very good dining option. My family of 9 came and were seated in thirty minutes. Everything we ate was delicious, and priced perfectly. Our waitress gave us great recommendations on what to order and did a great job waiting our tables. I would highly recommend anyone visiting to make a stop here.
Once you get past the wait time to enter, you’ll be happy. We ordered the two egg breakfast with bacon and cheese grits and if what we received was indeed only two eggs then those eggs were huge! We were stuff midway through but it was too good not to finish. The bacon was crunchy, the grits were cheesy, and the home-made biscuit was truly delicious. We were so full we didn’t have space to even try a donut 😅Our waitress was amazing. As busy as that place was, we never felt like she had forgot about us.
Yall, just look what they have!! I make this every Sunday morning and as a new local Im over the moon about this menu. I can actually go out for breakfast and get something I thought I would only have if I made it myself. Everything here has been awesome and itll be a new norm for us. Legend has it they have pimento cheese tots too and I cant wait to try them. Great place for a quick lunch or to sit down with the family.
This was a unique dining option. My wife and I enjoyed getting breakfast for dinner. We didnt try any donuts. They do tend to sell out of them as the day goes by so its best to get the donuts earlier. They also have a lot of cake options. We enjoyed the cafe style feeling with an open floor plan and huge vaulted ceilings to make your experience comfortable.
We went here to pick up breakfast for our vacation house. We had a total of 14 guests and ordered 2 dozen mixed donuts. Man was those boxes heavy! These donuts are stuffed and we only ended up eating one each. The staff was awesome and the wait was worth it. I highly recommend the Peanut Butter filled! We will be back on our next trip!
I had very good raisin bread French toast. My husband had the super sandwich that he said waa really good. We got some yummy looking donuts to go like apple spice, peanut butter filled, and pumpkin. The line was out the door when we left after 930a.
This place is extremely busy. The right side of the line is for take out orders and the left side of line is for indoor seating. Be prepared to wait around 30 minutes in line for the take out orders of Donuts. For those that love Donuts it is obviously worth it. If you dont like to wait, it would be wise to avoid this spot.
The key lime pie!😋🤩A friend introduced me to The Donut Hole a few years ago while our families were vacationing in Destin. He swore they had the best key lime pie, and he was right. We had to go back and get another pie while in town. On the way home, we picked up another key lime pie.The donuts and other pastries are tasty. I can’t pass up the key lime.
A MUST STOP for the area. Great Food, Great Bakery!! It always seems to have a line that says it is always good!!! I see many locals here, police officers and fire fighters, so it has to be a good place.
Bomb food, super awesome servers. They were super nice to my 3-year old. And my wife loved their bacon. The place is super clean and you can tell the people enjoy working here. Also, the food came out very fast. Thanks guys!!
We heard good things and were expecting something above the rest. We waited quite awhile in line but not a problem especially if the food is good. Crammed in a booth right by the drink station still ok if the food is amazing. The pancakes were nothing special just pancakes with toppings. I was expecting the banana nut pancakes and chocolate chip would have it mixed in the batter but it’s just on top. Nothing special. I wish they would have directed us when we ordered pancakes for the kids, maybe suggested 1 vs the 2 large pancakes that came or explained things better. My husbands eggs were cold and runny with overcooked hash browns and dry toast. My sons scrambled eggs were slimy but his biscuits and gravy and chocolate pie was very good. My sons French toast was good too. The donuts we bought on the way out were just okay. Nothing to write home about.
Good places to eat are important when on vacation, great places to eat breakfast are essential. We came for a late breakfast, so wait was minimal, maybe 15 minutes. Wife and daughter both had the Sunrise Bagel. Avocados were on point. My son and I had the Chicken and Waffles. Food was good and our waitress, Keydi was great. Everything is run very efficiently. Only down side, they were out of Keylime donuts. Ill just have to come back and get them before we leave.
Very good service. Normally very good fiid, but the veggies burger I got was old and had a weird taste. Maybe I will just stick with the donuts.
Great place to eat! You may have to wait in line for a few minutes, but please dont let that turn you away! TheDiet plate is absolutely amazing! Dont forget to load up on a box of donuts! They have a great variety to choose from!
Its a tradition to come here. I dont give them 5 stars because they should come out with a better system for the customer to wait for a table. We waited an hour under the sun. I dont mind the wait, but why make a line outside when many restaurants can text you or give you something to let you know when your table is ready. Hopefully, management can improve in that area. Other than that great food and good services!
Drop what you are doing and go here. Amazing doughnuts, cinnamon log, and apple fritter. Just drop the diet, and go get some amazing carb goodness here. Just do it, from here you truly won’t regret it.
The best hash browns I have ever had! Was so full didnt get to taste the donuts🙃
No one to greet you. No direction. The restaurant side was packed. All we wanted were Donuts... I dont know what was going on. Their management or lack of it ruined what ever the experience it could have been. We got Donuts somewhere else.
Best breakfast place ever! Big portions, hot and fresh food. Highly recommend the chicken fried steak, eggs benedict, pancakes, chicken and waffles, and cheese grits. Seriously can’t go wrong here! Did I forget to mention their fresh donuts and huge slices of cake?!? Although the line is ALWAYS long, it is 100% worth the wait. We cannot leave destin without going here. We love this place and the waitresses recognize us on our vacations no matter how busy it gets. Can you tell I’m passionate about them? LOL. STOP HERE!
The reason for the one star was due to the service of the waitress, very unprofessional. The food was absolutely wonderful. We had heard great things about your establishment and was looking forward to going into your restaurant to eat. First, it took several minutes for her to come to our table. We totally understand you were extremely busy; however, the table behind us was seated shortly after we were and she waited on them immediately and even spent a few minutes talking to them. She never once came to ask us how the food was and if we needed anything else or asked if we needed refills.We are usually very good tippers, we understand the waitresses and waiters depend on tips to supplement their income. However, her customer service was beyond unacceptable. Thus the reason why we didn’t leave a tip. After we left the restaurant, through all the people standing in line waiting to get in, she ran outside and yelled across the parking lot “Y’all have a good day” very sarcastically.It was the waitress with the blue hair. It was totally shocking that she came outside to yell what she did. One of the people we were eating with was so uncomfortable she ended up spilling her tea on the table because the waitress threw the silverware one the table and she was trying to distribute the utensils to everyone.I have never, in my life, been treated with such disrespect.
Iconic breakfast spot in Destin. Maybe more myth than legend. Good food but not great. We tried crab eggs Benedict, corned beef hash, diet plate, and regular eggs Benedict. They were all good but in my opinion not special. Service was attentive and friendly. Prices a little higher, but I think typical for a vacation area. Get there before 7am if you dont want to wait. Update : the key lime pie we took home was delicious! You have to try a slice!
So good! The line was out the door when I got there, if that tells you anything.
The donuts will break your mouth. THE BEST DONUT!!!They do not go wrong with any of their food. When you see a line at any place it means good things, but when they line is at 6:30am then you have found the pot at the end of the rainbow. We enjoy every meal here and they are always big portions - I mean who ends up taking eggs home because they are full. We are in the area every year and end up ordering over 100 donuts each time for our guest we bring and for our friends at home.Biggest Apple Fritter Ever!!!Amazing Pineapple Upside Down Cake!!!Chocolate and Vanilla Angels!!!Spiced Apple Fritter Crumble!!!Every donut is amazing for breakfast, snacks, or dessert and they help ease your travels home.
Saw the reviews and decided to pay a visit when I was in town.They had a long line but it was worth the wait.They have some amazing donuts and cakes, prices are reasonable.Clean place they have seatings both inside and outside.Clean restroom nice staff they also have T-shirts for sale.I really liked their cupcakes too.
The Donut Hole Bakery is probably the busiest, most popular breakfast place in Destin. For those with doubts about this, get there about 8 AM during the summer months when the tourist traffic in the area is at its peak.There will be a line extending from the cash register inside out into the parking lot. The beach is visited by family groups. It is a family-friendly area. Almost everyone likes doughnuts. The doughnuts here are excellent, baked every morning, and there is a big selection.I go to the Donut Hole quite often in the off-season. I avoid it during the tourist rush. The food is just as good when it is very busy but the frustration and the wait can be exasperating.There is always a wide selection of doughnuts available. Family groups buy them by the dozen, throw the kids in the car, and take off to wherever they are from or head back to their condo on the beach to enjoy the doughnuts for breakfast.Of course, with young children, it can take a while to decide which doughnuts look the best and the most tasty. It can take them a while to make this important decision. In the meantime, the line stretches out the door, down the ramp to the parking lot and out into the parking lot.Breakfast here is always very good. The eggs are cooked perfectly, there is a variety of bakery toast, English muffins are available, the pancakes are good and, of course, there are always doughnuts.The staff here is efficient and they work hard. They know their jobs and try to serve people as fast as they can. Of course, keeping up with the crush of people is a challenge and everyone feels good when they taste those doughnuts they have been waiting to try.So, when in Destin looking for a good breakfast, give it a try. Just be forewarned, it can be very busy as everyone likes good doughnuts in the morning.
Sit at the counter when you go youll have so much more fun than a booth the waitress up there is amazing and fun and will really help you enjoy your stay better. Food was to die for and the Donut from the cakes in 250 MI cant hardly decide what to have it so delicious hope to see you then
This place definitely did not disappoint! We didnt try the donuts but definitely plan on it before we leave this trip. The breakfast was so good and the donuts, cakes and pies looked delicious!!So glad we were able to come here.
This was a nice find along the route.It is great as a donor shop/ coffee stop. Food seemed ok. The place is open and friendly with places to sit inside and outside. The prices are reasonable and the bathrooms are clean. A little run down, but a really nice place for breakfast or lunch or a good desert.Enjoyed the items with coconut and they have plenty. The donuts are a bit too sweet and some have a bit too much.Thanks.
Came into town for the week and I saw that this place was always packed the line was extremely long so we stopped on in and the breakfast was amazing they had some many home cooked options fluffy pancakes huge hash brown great homemade bread chicken fried steak biscuits and gravy..what can I say they had it all the line went down quick the waitress was great and I left stuffed we even took donuts and Pie to go this was one of the top restaurants for breakfast or lunch in Destin Florida
The key lime pie was good, but I prefer mine with a little more sour, not that it was sweet. The gulf omelet was very tasty and the serving size was too much. They have the second best chhese grits Ive had, my daughter does better. Service was good, but we went for lupper, the meal thats not quite lunch or supper, so there werent many diners. Its on the place to visit again.
The staff is are top notch - 5 star.The Key Lime pie - 5 star. Never had pie from the Keys to compare it to but for now, it’s the best KL pie ever.Turtle cheesecake - meh. 3 stars.Blueberry filled donut - 2.5.Overall solid place. Good staff and great products. Pies pies pies.
We are locals. Took some friends visiting here after dinner. We were going to get dessert. There was 8 of us. We walked in about 8pm. Very little desserts left and very rude dark hair younger lady behind the counter. So we left. Destin location. So, Ill stick with going to the one in SRB where they appreciate business.
Food was good and plentiful. Our waitress, Tanya, definitely sweetened the experience.
The food and service are great. The food is very delicious and high quality with large portions at a great price. This was our favorite place that we ate at in the area.
This place was fantastic. Some much to choose from. Restaurant was outstanding. Breakfast lunch and dinner menus. Bakery has a huge selection. Plus all of the different types of Donuts to choose from. This is a place you need to come check out.
We were recommended Donut Hole by our parasailing guide and it did not disappoint. Both my friend and I really enjoyed our food and our server was attentive and courteous. If Im ever in the area again, Ill definitely be back.
Great little restaurant with a dinner feel. Great great selection to choose from. Waitstaff were friendly while giving space to enjoy meal.
Fabulous service!Most delicious food on the planet!
What is not to love about this place? Get there early to have the best selection of donuts as they often sell out of their best flavors. We highly recommend the strawberry angel and the peanut butter filled chocolate covered donut! Probably two of the best donuts I have ever had. Their food selection is also great and prices fairly considering its location. If you love seafood try the ultimate seafood omelette. It is stuffed with crab and shrimp and is a great flavor combination! They also have a wide variety of sandwiches to choose from and if you like onion rings it is worth the upcharge to get them as your side! To late for donuts and want something sweet no worries just get a generous slice of of one of their house made cakes! The servers are very friendly and helpful I highly recommend this place the next time you go to the beach!
This is our most frequented place in town. They have fantastic donuts for a reasonable price. The folks working are always nice. We have never been able to get in for a dine in experience due to the crowd though. By the time we could get our toddler up and moving they had a line that was at least an hour long to get in. So we usually get donuts to go. Overall, I’d tell everyone coming to town to go get a donut or pastry here and support the business.
Best breakfast place in Okaloosa!! Ive lived here for 10 years and I just went for the 1st time! I will defiantly become a regular here!! I got the diet plate which is the biscuits and gravy. By far the best gravy Ive ever had. Husband got the crabmeat benedict. Literally the best tasting crab! Ordered a side of cheese grits which were amazing! I cant wait to go back and try some donuts!
Food is always good!!!! I had the best service from the girl up front! She was very friendly and respectful! I wish I knew her name but can’t remember but she had brown hair and a vet nice smile! Having someone like that when coming from out of town on vacation is so refreshing!! I will definitely come back every time I come here to Destin!!
Best breakfast in Destin, keylime pie is great too.
We ordered take out. It took them a long time to get my food to me for some reason. The portion sizes were huge. I ordered a veggie omelet and it was okay, it didnt have any flavor and had no cheese. The potatoes were good. They have a large selection of fresh doughnuts and they were delicious.
We have had breakfast there 2 days in a row.The first day was a sit down breakfast and today was grabbing donuts.Both times the wait was less than 5 minutes...I am sure it was due to the fact that there was only 2 of us and everyone else was 4+ in their partyEverything we got was amazing, for us, it definitely deserves 5 stars
We went for the doughnuts. Got there early and there was almost no line. The apple fritter is the size of a personal pan pizza & very good. Got a box of maybe 8. Our favorite was the chocolate covered!! # 2 Was red velvet. Will be back again.
We had an absolute wonderful time there; breakfast was super fresh and amazing service; our server Leah H. Was amazing! I would give 7 stars and everything was from scratch and tasted heavenly! Great job Leah H.
Great food, friendly staff & very clean. We ended up eating twice here it was so good. Might be a bit of a wait but totally worth the wait. I would recommend and will be going back
Breakfast was so good we had it 2 days! There can be a line but worth the wait.
I liked the coffee and the waffle.. crab cake Benedict was weird..I dont believe their cakes were homemade.. had that fake box flavor..I dont know about the donuts.. it was late and they were running out.
Now, I understand why the line was so long. Hats off to Sandy. She was so busy, but took the time to treat every guest respectfully. Especially those who were rude. The food is good, but the donuts were so delicious!
The Diet Plate was great after a workout. And waitresses were fun great atmosphere. Loved it.
This place is amazing! Nice people and great food in a casual, low-key setting.It was our first visit, so we tried lots of things: banana nut pancakes, biscuits and gravy, sausage, bacon, hash browns, eggs, and a grilled cheese with bacon and fries. We also got a couple donuts to go. Everything tasted wonderful, and I particularly recommend the banana nut pancakes!
We ate breakfast/lunch/dessert here almost every day when we were in Destin. This place was great! We will be back!
