This is our second vacation in which we visit Callahan's while in Destin and, as with the first visit, we were very pleased with both the food and the service. Their old location was smaller and had a better atmosphere than the new place, although it is very nicely decorated and much larger. Service remains very good...although our second visit... more

We stopped by Callahan's on the advise of the hotel staff. The food and atmosphere was first rate. The service was excellent...the server even noticed our 1 yr old daughter had the sun in her eyes. She quickly went over and closed up the correct blind without promting. It is on our list of must-eat-at places when we return to... more

My daughter and I ate here in mid May and it was excellent. Our first trip she ordered spaghetti with meat sauce and I got the philly steak sandwich. We were overwhelmed by the huge amount of food on our plates and easily took half back to the condo for later. (The leftovers were just as good, if not better).... more

I personally live in Destin and eat at Callahan's ALL the time. Its definitely a place for locals and visitors alike. I have probably never been in Callahan's without seeing someone that I knew. I have been going there for years and years and absolutely love it. They used to be in a tiny little building with plastic patio furniture... more

Tried to find Callahan's twice, but since it's no longer on Gulf Shore Drive, that was difficult. Then, we noticed it next to Krispy Kreme Donuts. We had the Italian Sausage & Pepper sandwich, and the open-face Steak sandwich, and both were great! The service was very friendly, and fast. They were doing an excellent business of both locals and... more

We have been eating at Callahan's for one week out of the year for about 15 years now. We now plan our Destin vacations around staying near Callahan's. The place has been a consistent value since we first started going to Destin back in about 1992. For those reviewers who complained about having bad shrimp salad, if you mentioned it... more

Callahan's sandwiches are so good! We got carryout to take back to the beach one of the days in Destin and their sandwiches are HUGE! Great value for the money - especially in Destin where everything is so expensive. If you like olives - you have to try their muffaletta sandwich -- it is awesome. When we return, we are... more

We went to Callahan's numerous times while in Destin for a month. It was excellent and we never had to wait for a table at lunch time when we went at 11:30. Would recommend the Muffeletta sandwich, more than enough for two. The daily specials are also great and can be shared. Don't miss this place as they will be... more
