"GRID IRON IS PERMANENTLY CLOSED Let me start off by saving I 'm so upset for multiple reasons. This place was closed WITHOUT notice to the community.The cost of the menu was more expensive (being a customer for over a decade) but everything has gone up. I did appreciate the streamlined menu. The owner(s) never made themselves available or connected with the community and this place has changed owners at least 3 times. This latest owner had articles written about her from the South Orange press and she clearly didn 't have the business accumen to keep the place going. Not everyone wants a diner breakfast so the elevated menu at Grid Iron was great. RESPONSE TO OWNER 3/241. My family and I have been patronizing this establishment for over a decade and during COVID.2. The guilt trip is what 's unnecessary. If you have that much on your plate and taking on the restaurant wasn 't a priority all well and good. Your lack of experience as an entrepreneur, having a full time job and being talked into/sold on a business with you have no background in the restaurant industry is no excuse for lack of decency.3. A proper notice typed and taped on the door, social media page and updating the status on Google is the responsible thing to do to notify the community. Myself and several others had to walk up to the door and see kitchen closed and the place looking like it was robbed with a realty sign in the window.4. I gain nothing but actually communicating which is something that you didn 't do. There are several restaurants also affected by COVID that are still operational in the community.5. What did you gain? The business is CLOSED and your responding for what? Instead of calling my review unnecessary, the right thing would have been to say thank you for being a long time customer. Sorry things happened the way that they did instead of trying to make me out to be wrong and for you to gain sympathy over a poorly handled situation."

"As a frequent tourist in the Emerald Coast region, I visited pancakes for the first time. Because of a small dining area, I wouldn't guess with a party of over 7 or 8, unless you're ready to wait a long time. This situation was mainly very busy as most people were spent one to two hours waiting. My party of 10 was willing to sit for a full 2 hours, but we ended up in two tables that were nowhere near. But in the end the restaurant itself turned out to be. It is quite full in the dining room, but the furnishings and surroundings are playful and well suited to the theme of the restaurant. As for staff, they were polite, but not very friendly. Nevertheless, the food was delicious. During lunch I ordered the Jalapeno Ranch Chicken Wrap. I recommend this dish if you have a desire for hot and spicy food, as this turned out to be very hot! It was served next to what tasted like salt and vinegar chips. I also ordered the Single Loaded Potato, which was almost like a crushed potato with cheese, bacon and sour cream. The majority of the other people in my party ordered the breakfast, which after trying some of their dishes proved delicious. Some of them ordered chocolate milk as their drink, dressed as whip cream and chocolate syrup! However, they were accompanied with water through the small part you receive. All the food came out very quickly! Overall, I recommend trying the pancakery when you have the time to wait! I know I'll be back in the future. Update 4/6/22: Despite a smaller party of 5 people we received a waiting period of 2 hours, but only had to wait for a little over 1 hour. As I said, the dining area is very small and is not really suitable for larger parties (Menu states that 6 parties are a fee). The service was much better than last time, which is good. I decided to try something else – the Crab Island Omelette. It was pretty good, though I'm not sure I would order it again. On the side I got hash-browns that were good, as well as the sand-dollar pancakes that I couldn't eat because how the filling was everything else. What other people do at my party, they enjoyed their meals, but had a lot of leftovers. Finally, they offer LARGE proportions of food per meal; So never tell yourself “that will not be enough.” Trust me. Overall, we will probably be back on our next trip to Destin."
