    As you would expect from the name, this great Destin restaurant offers gourmet pancakes and so much more!

    We even tried a Pancake Shot, which was a lot of fun. I had never heard of one and now can't wait to make one at home.

    I love it when a restaurant lives up to the hopes you have for it. We were really looking forward to delicious pancakes for breakfast.

    Thankfully the pancakes at the Pancakery in Destin lived up to our hopes and dreams. They were fluffy and full of flavor.

    The hardest thing was deciding which flavor to go with. There were so many great options plus crepes and it took us a while to decide what to try.

    Whether you are on an Emerald Coast vacation or local, you will love the tasty omelettes, Belgian waffles, benedicts, and scrumptious pancakes at the Pancakery!

    Your taste buds will be very happy.
