Destin Commons is a a glorious place to shop! There are many more shops for all to browse, spend, and charge away. However, many gentlemen can keep themselves entertained for hours at the Bass Pro Shop which is one of the anchor stores there. It’s HUGE.

And if you have children, they’ll also be highly entertained (and completely worn out) after playing for hours on the great padded playground that’s well within sight the center of the plaza. Is it the biggest one in the Panhandle? I think it might be.

As far as the restaurants, I stick with a winner and have my soup and sandwich at Panera Bread Company…wonderful Chicken Noodle and the softest, fresh baked bread available…all for $5.99. Now, that’s a deal.
Also know Hard Rock Cafe is a classic, and a great place for Cheeseburgers. Or, if your in hurry, Johnny Rocket’s is hard to beat for burgers as well.

And of course there’s Starbucks, which is a great way to warm your insides, and boost your energy level, which may be running low after all the shopping you’ve been doing. But, what I’m really looking forward to is the opening of Grapes Wine Bar, where I’ll really indulge in the luxuriousness of the atmosphere as I sip on a wonderful glass of Pinot Noir and people watch to my delight.

The Rave theater is great, I’m glad you gave it an A. The sound system rocks, and it’s always clean…which is not always the case at some of the other movie theaters around my area.

There are several stores that some people may have never heard of, but that’s what makes it more and more exciting than your everyday stores that you see at every shopping center. Overall, I give Destin Commons an A+, and think it’s well worth the 45 minute drive from Panama City, especially this time of year when it’s so decorative all along 98. I love it!
