Scotches Restaurant Bar - Destin

Awful. Overpriced and sub-par food, slow service.3 of us on a Sat mid-afternoon and we were the only ones in restaurant. Still took 30 minutes to get our food, and 10 minutes after we were told our food was on the way and being plated.Had the Scotches burger. $19 for a dry, no-flavor hockey puck. It was thick, but the bun was much larger than the patty. The onion rings in the burger were horrible…the oil has probably not been changed in the fryer in months and had a burnt, nasty flavor where I could only take one bite. Also noticed on the bill that it was entered in as medium well, when I was not asked how I wanted it cooked.Wife and daughter both had the salmon. Small, overcooked and overpriced $28 for a small piece of salmon, some broccoli, and no-flavor garlic mashed potatoes that my wife had to add salt and pepper to which she never does).Never got our drinks refilled, staff came by to get the check after never asking how the food was after delivery, never cleared our plates.Save your money. Cannot believe anyone can give this place 5 stars.

First visit the staff were very friendly. The food was sadly horrible. The mashed potatoes were instant and tasteless. I had the chicken curry and it had way too many boney pieces. I don’t mean thighs with bones, it was just random s chicken parts and itty bitty bones throughout. The Mac and cheese was elbow macaroni topped with too much cheese and pools of grease. Rice and beans tasted old and dry. I love Jamaican food but this was gross. We were very disappointed but wanted to give them another try for breakfast. We came in today for breakfast. After 10 minutes of standing I went and found someone and they said we could take a seat. We found a seat and after 20 more minutes with no one taking our drinks or letting us know it would be little bit of a wait we sadly left. They seem like a kind group of people running the restaurant but we won’t be returning. We are locals and love to support locally ran businesses, but we won’t be returning and will warn others to avoid the place. I’m honestly shocked the reviews are so high. It’s very suspicious.

Great food and staff! Carlton made the most incredible drinks. Marsha, helped our group with the selection of J Chicken, Curry Chicken, and grilled Red Snapper! This is a hidden gem, authentic and fresh- don’t miss this restaurant.

I went when the resturant first opened a few months ago, just now writing the review. The bartender/host/server was the only person in there besides any kitchen staff. He was friendly but the food had no flavor.

The staff was very kind and the atmosphere was enjoyable. The breakfast menu is amazingly priced. $10 for all you can eat Pancakes is hard to beat. Out of all the Destin breakfast places it was the best. Most other breakfast places are expensive or just have food that tastes 'eh '. I will be coming back.
