This is a restaurant that we keep coming back to on every trip- great service and food is delicious! Very much appreciated the gluten free options and even my dad who doesn’t like going out to eat loved his dish. Definitely recommend!
My fiancé and I recently came to Destin, traveling from Ohio, and really enjoyed the Ruby Slipper Cafe! I am Celiac and he is not and we were both able to enjoy our meals! I got the breakfast sandwich and thought it was great! I got a side of avocado and their pickled onions to add a little extra to the breakfast sandwich itself and it was the perfect addition! If you go to the Destin location and have a gluten allergy, ask for Cati! She is Celiac herself and made the experience wonderful! It was very reassuring to have her know exactly what I could and couldn’t have. Cati was also just a fantastic server in general and made the entire experience incredible! If we come back to Destin, we will definitely be coming back because of Cati and the awesome food!
This food is awesome! They even have gluten free bread and I’ve eaten here twice now and they did it right on the gluten side!! That’s a big plus for me right there. Their meats are top quality and they work hard to get your food out quickly. I highly recommend!!
The entire staff provided exactly what was expected. Our table was ready at the reserved time and our server (Ana) was pleasant and attentive. Once the order was placed the wait was short and done correctly. One in our party required a gluten-free menu and Ana was familiar with that menu and double checked on one item.
The evening was very good.
This place was awesome! Not only super delicious but also a good gluten free selection. The pulled pork was good with a delicious BBQ sauce! Wish they had one near where I live. Definitely would recommend!
It’s a must try every time I visit Destin with my family. They have so many amazing breakfast dishes, they also offer plenty of Gluten Free options which we appreciate so much. Their coffee is the best I’ve ever had! So many flavor choices!!!
We had a wonderful dinner last night, Edit took wonderful care of us, very educated about gluten free options, as well as several other staff that stopped by to make sure we were taken care of. Food delicious and while waiting ( briefly) for our dessert, Edit suggested we go out on the porch and take a pic of the sunset, gorgeous setting!
This is my favorite little coffee shop in Destin! The owners are amazing. Staff is always professional, quick, friendly. Their gluten-free sandwiches are the bomb! Coffee is made the order quick, fast, delicious! Great place!
I have celiac and our waiter was extremely knowledgeable about what I could have with my dietary restrictions. This is my hubby’s favorite place to go in Destin. The baked oysters are a MUST! My 8 year old even loved them, and he is super picky! We had the mussels as an appetizer and the sauce is exquisite! Thanks for another great experience.
What a great little find off of the beaten path. My son has celiac and they have gluten-free crêpes available. He said it was amazing! Me and my daughter also enjoyed our crêpes as well as the three different types of coffee we drank. Highly recommend stopping in here for a visit if you’re in the area. Sorry, no photos because our food didn’t last that long!
Lady Ray's did my (last minute!) wedding reception cupcakes and cake. Both are wonderful, gluten-free, and a competitive price for what you get on the day. The coffee icing wasn't overwhelming or too sweet/too creamy but JUST perfect, and the cupcakes and cake were both so moist. Highly recommend them.
They have gluten free pasta but charge an extra 3 dollars it. Serving size for the gluten free pasta the size of a newborn child. Capitalizing on people with gluten allergies and diseases.
The firehouse burger is very hot, but delicious. Great burgers and yummy margaritas. I’d highly recommend getting there early enough to experience their happy hour. We had a group of 8, one with gluten free requirements, and everyone was very happy with their meals.
We havebeen in to Tailfins last two friday nights. I’m celiac and have a soy allergy. Both times in we had same waitress she was very knowledgeable about gluten free items as well as the bat staff in letting me know that all their liquors r high quality. We have been back because of their knowledge for gluten free the food and drinks have been amazing. It’s extremely refreshing to eat at a place where u know they care about your food allergies. as I break out with a crumb on anything or by touching it thanks for being a restaurant that cares. We def will be back again before we head back home to ontario canada. Carol b
Had the gluten free protein balls. It's was heaven in my mouth. I love it so much I went back and bought all of the ones she had left. It's is also in the city food hall. Highly recommend!
I am at a loss for words. Tonight’s dinner was truly an experience and one I won’t soon forget. I was recently diagnosed with celiacs so we called ahead to make sure the chef could accommodate my gluten allergy. They assured us that it wouldn’t be an issue and took note of our reservation time so that they knew when I would be there. The chef was aware and a menu was brought out to me that had markings on it as to what I could eat. There were even accommodations he could make to certain dishes to make them gluten free. The roasted beet salad was absolutely perfect. I could have eaten just that and been happy. I was also able to eat the whipped ricotta dip and the roasted crab brûlée. Instead of the naan and crostini, they brought out sliced cucumbers for me. I was so pleasantly surprised at the amount of options that I had, but I ultimately decided on the filet and bone marrow risotto for my entree. I didn’t want the meal to end. It was the best meal I’ve had since I’ve had to go gluten free. There was absolutely no room for dessert, so I can’t attest for that. Our waitress, Alise, was so wonderful in every sense. She was so kind and knowledgeable. She genuinely cared about making sure I was taken care of, as the rest of our group. I chose the watermelon strawberry margarita to drink and even that was to die for. I can’t say enough wonderful things about this restaurant. I’m sad that it will probably be a year before I can come back, but it’s so comforting to know that there is a safe restaurant I could eat at when we’re in the Destin area again!
Exceptional service every time sitting with ELLA!!! Phil made sure our experience was a pleasant,food was cooked perfectly, with all gluten free precautions. Thank you!
Top notch pizza for the 2nd year on vacation in a row. We walked in and seated ourselves immediately. Pizza was to the table within 30 minutes. Bonus- they have an awesome gluten free crust and they do not skimp on toppings;). Service was great and we had plenty of pizza for leftover lunch the next day!
Great find! Bowls were very good and pretty large for the money in comparison to most other fruit bowl places. They also had a lot of other great snack, food, and drink options including CBD kombucha. Gluten free and vegan options. Would highly recommend.
The chef went out of his way to make sure this gluten free dairy free person had a wonderful meal. Zoie our waitress was so kind and helpful. Great experience.
It's so disappointing. After coming to Dewey Destin for 20+ years, they have changed the batter of their famous fried shrimp. It's what put them on the map. We found out that the owner has changed the recipe to make it gluten-free. The waitress told us that the staff and customers begged the owner to reverse the decision but to no avail. We won't be back.
