When we ate here I was excited about the reviews having lived in Louisiana and missing gumbo in the midwest. The gumbo was awful.....tasted like it had A-1 sauce in it. Justin Wilson...Ah...Heee! must be rolling in his grave. more

This was the worst restaurant that we went to in Destin. I should have thought better when the place was empty except for one other table. more

Kenny D’s is located next door to the million dollar condos of Leeward Key and is a stones throw from the multi-million dollar mansions of Destiny by the Sea. With such prime real estate, you’d expect the restaurant to serve Dom Perignon, filet mignon and Oysters Rockefeller. Well…I guess one out of three ain’t bad. Walking in, the look may... more

I'll argue best burgers, after all, that's a pretty significant title. They were good enough. Our party had a 2 burgers, Mahi squared dinner, some other sandwich(it's been 2 months so the memory fades in middle age) and some cold peel & eat shrimp. I'm glad we went. Nice informal atmosphere, cold beer. Our friends decided for Margaritaville that evening... more

We had lunch at Kenny D's and loved it! The only complaint I had was that the restaurant needed a little updating - the seat on the booth was split and the air conditioner vent above the table had an occasional drip of condensation. That aside, the food was wonderful!!! Authentic New Orleans cuisine! more

My friends and I recently went to Destin for a long weekend. The condo where we stayed was across the street from Captain Dave's so the plan was to drive in, eat at Captain Dave's then check into the room. To our surprise, Captain Dave's doesn't open til 4:30, but we were STARVING! So, across the street we went to... more

We stopped here for the first time for lunch and I was a little apprehensive when I saw the decor and atmosphere, but the food and service were great. They have a sign that states best burgers and I have to agree. I'd go back. more

I won't argue with reviewers who have complained about slow service... when I eat at Kenny D's I'm in "laid back" mode! Ms. Gracie is a culinary genius. Her gumbo, red beans and rice with andouille sausage, and various grouper dishes are simply the best we've ever eaten. We always order a container of gumbo prior to leaving Destin for... more

Kenny D's continues to be one of Destin's best kept dining secrets. My wife and I have been there now 2 or 3 times in the past year or so, and we have been VERY impressed. The food is great. The atmosphere is pleasant and laid back. While the view is obstructed, you can finish dinner and take a leisurely... more
