Food was very good but the music and service was more of an issue. It is already very busy and very loud, and adding a live band was not a good idea. We had to shout to hear each other, the toddler I was with wouldn’t eat her food until the breaks in between songs due to her covering her ears cause the music was so loud. Server dropped one of our meals and it took another 15 minutes before it came back out. We had a gluten free meal that came out around 15 minutes after everyone else’s food. Wrong sides with some meals as well. But being next to the water and slightly outside has a nice vibe and atmosphere.

Went twice, two different dinners. Almost everything is GF, they have a disclaimer on CC, knowledgeable and instilled confidence when I asked questions and ordered.
First dinner I had popcorn shrimp and fried pickles. Delicious!
Went back on our last night for a blackened grouper sandwich on a Udi bun, with kettle cooked Bay chips. May have been my favorite meal. No issues after!
We will definitely be back!
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!
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.
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!!
A group of 20 randomly landed in this establishment after getting rained out at a soccer tournament. They pivoted and handled our group with grace and patience.
They addressed all of our orders perfectly
A big plus, they have a delicious gluten free bagel!
The local market is one of my favorite places to regularly have breakfast or lunch. Everything is made fresh and to order. There is a complete gluten-free menu and I highly recommend the watermelon Agua Fresca.
Celiac friendly
