This place was awesome! I have celiac and to order gluten free the manager comes and takes the order and then the meal is prepared in a separate kitchen. I felt very safe eating here. I also did not get sick. Would definitely dine here again

For a single visit it was ok.
The value was low. I ended up with over $160+ with tip for 6. I know that's typical for tourist areas but I think the experience was soured by a few things for that cost.
- raccoons bothered us. I think one actually crawled near table and touched ankle making person at our table jump. Nothing else after that but that they were so brazen ruined the novelty.
- they were out of chicken, a big part of their meals, out of hush puppies, out of mac and cheese, and more. I get it it happens.
- then asked about the waffles and they said they could do it but without fried chicken so it would still be $22+ for two small waffles. This was where it felt like service was just not great. No attempt to find a solution, allow on side order, or substitute. I had to suggest maybe substitute fish and then they said ok. Probably a tired server, but still just no effort so with everyone exhausted we made do with what we could find on menu.
The portions weren't great for the fried fish plate and turkey plate but the burger was huge.
Charge extra for splitting a plate for you. ($7.99 or so)
So overall I think the place is ok but the value, potion sizes, effort from staff, and such just made me feel there are other places I'd rather visit for such a high cost.
We all have rough days so maybe you'll have better luck if visiting for gluten-free / celiac purposes.
Experience a cozy spot where guests rave about delicious breakfasts, attentive service, and a welcoming atmosphere perfect for all diets.

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 charming cafe features adorable decor with guest art and serves top-notch coffee, making it a must-visit for locals and visitors alike!

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!
A local gem known for fresh, made-to-order meals and a standout watermelon Agua Fresca that keeps diners coming back for more.
