Good breakfast. Gluten free options too.

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 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!

We chose to eat here a few times on our vacation because they offer gluten free buns and I’m celiac. I didn’t get sick at all eating here. On our last visit we encountered some issues and the manager took great care of us when we brought the issues to her attention. That’s exactly what a manager should do. It brings customers back time and time again. Great service!!

The Best hamburger and fries. I love their gluten free buns.

So much fun... live band, Latin night and gluten free options... trifecta

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!

The staff went out of their way to accommodate a gluten allergy. The manager specifically baked some corn tortillas so we could have chips and queso. Even though the chips contain gluten. Very friendly!

I have a gluten allergy and was very impressed by the care taken by Pete and Hannah to ensure I had a gluten-free meal. Great service!

When you have the price of a 5 star restaurant but wait staff that don’t come close. Upon sitting down, bread rolls were brought to the table. Having celiac disease, I asked if they had gluten free bread and was told no. Fine, no problem. We ordered a spicy tuna roll instead. When the sushi was brought to the table, the assistant waiter said, “but sushi is gluten free?” I’m happy to explain the ins and outs of gluten, the structure of the wheat plant, etc but honestly when paying $50/plate, I shouldn’t have to and I shouldn’t have to deal with snarky remarks. I asked him what has gluten in sushi when it is rice and fish. He then said he didn’t know what gluten was but you can’t have any bread then because it all has gluten. Yes, wheat bread has gluten. Great job. However, there about 50 other grains in which bread can be made and none contain gluten. I took the time to explain and after his last snide remark, he walked off. We then ordered a glass of Chardonnay which still hasn’t arrived when dinner came. I asked the waitress to cancel the wine since dinner had already arrived and she very curtly informed that I hadn’t ordered wine. When I explained that we had a conversation about dryness and Chardonnay, it suddenly dawned on her that yes I had ordered wine. She comped the wine and it’s why I gave two stars instead of one. I don’t mind mistakes one bit but when her rudeness and attitude when I asked the cancel the wine was shocking. The food was just decent. Not great and very greasy which is an accomplishment with fish and veggies. LuLu’s has food about 100 times better for half the price. We have dined at hundreds of 5* restaurants and so wanted to like Primrose but it was honestly a bad experience from start to finish. Forget the $250 bill and go ger LuLu’s.
