SAX GRILLE — Restaurant in Fort Walton Beach

Sorry not my cup of tea. Other reviewers descriptions was pretty spot on though. Our cashier/server was pleasant and friendly!

We had the Smoked Cheddar Bacon Burger ($11.69) and Small Fries ($1.99), the Half Veggie Sandwich ($5.49), side of potato salad ($1.69), and side of baked beans ($1.69). The burger was huge and messy and definitely not heart healthy. It had thick cut bacon (lots of it) and thick cut grilled onions. I found it way too much. Flavor was okay, but on the greasy side. The Veggie Sandwich was healthier, but as a hand held sandwich, a challenge to eat as well without everything falling out.

Don't get the potato salad. It was very dry and tasted awful. The baked beans were very good, with big chunks of meat. Portion size of the potato salad and the beans was very small in relation to the much larger burger and fries!

The best part was the small fries. Very generous helping and quite good! No need to get a larger size fries! See pics.

The ice machine is old and as a result the ice is tainted and tastes pretty awful. Buy the ZephyrHills bottle water and don't use the ice.

If you have a big appetite and like this type of burger, you will probably like it! Stay clear of the potato salad and the...

Ok, me, or me and my family, have eaten at Sax in Fort Walton Beach 5 TIMES in the last few weeks...thats how amazing it really is. A real gem near the Emerald Coast located just a few min north of the Brooks bridge and Okaloosa Island. I was initially impressed by its New Orleans styling and great location. Easy and quick to park. But, wow, once inside I was floored by the great lunch atmosphere, wonderful menu selections and super friendly staff. This family owned and operated sandwich and burger shop it is definitely in the top of the running for the entire Emerald Coast. They set themselves apart with super flavorful, large sandwich portions that are accompanied by the largest portion of the best handcut fries in the area. I could spend a lot of time walking through each amazing sandwich, but that still wouldnt do them justice. Nuf said that I have decided to work through the ENTIRE menu one sandwich at a time. Great service ans sweet tea! Beer is also served. The only sandwich shop that compares in pure sandwich awesomeness is Heavenly Croissant on Beal parkway in FWB, but they dont have burgers and fries and the Sax menu and seating are quite...

This was our first trip to Sax, but it will NOT be our last. Walk in and you are greeted with a smile and "welcome to Sax!" Right away you feel at home. The food smells great and the handwritten chalk menu behind the counter tells you the offerings of the day. The prices are really reasonable and the portions are generous. I ordered the turkey Ruben with fries. The fries are those crispy matchstick fries that are delicious and more than a little addictive. The Ruben was a delicious mess. When they say extra napkins and grab a fork, they are right on the money. My wife got the burger (and stole a few of my fries) and loved it. Fresh veggies on the burger topped it off just right. Nice touches like a pickle spear explain why the place is packed with locals. We got a table right away, but there were not many to spare. There is outdoor dining along the front porch and lots of tables inside as well. Still get free refills on soda and tea, and you can't say that about everywhere these days.

Down home, blue collar, reasonably priced comfort food that nicely reflects Fort Walton Beach's personality. Stop in, and don't forget...
