A BBQ Craze in Destin
The BBQ scene in Destin is booming with popular restaurants that are loved by locals and visitors alike. The smoky and savory flavors of barbecue are sure to please, whether you love pulled pork, baby back ribs, or chicken. Some Destin BBQ eateries specialize in smoked meats while others offer a wide variety of tasty homestyle sides and desserts.
A Destin BBQ restaurant with a unique personality is Jim N Nicks. The owner’s gruff personality and political commentary may put some people off, but the finger-licking delicious smoked meats are well worth the visit. You can dine in, or call ahead to get your order to go.
Another BBQ destination in Destin is Ole Times Southern Buffet. This chain restaurant is popular among locals and visitors. The menu features a full bakery, a salad bar and, specific to Destin, a nightly seafood buffet.
If you’re visiting during spring break or summer, it’s best to avoid the lunch and dinner rush. Arriving at restaurants a little early can help reduce the drive time and traffic. Many Destin & 30A restaurants offer early bird dining specials, typically one entree free with the purchase of another entree.
