blue mountain beach restaurants

**shellak** · 01-12-2009, 07:18 AM

does anyone have any specific information on the 2 new restaurants under construction in blue mountain beach? i believe one is mcguires pizza and oyster house, and the other one, in nick's old building, is supposed to be shuckers but there is no sign there. wondering when they are supposed to open. we could really use some affordable restaurants around here, and blue mountain could use some activity although i love the serenity. be careful what i wish for, right?? as for lee's chicken going out of business, there is only so much demand for fried chicken these days - they could have benefited from offering some grilled chicken meals. i never eat fried food so never went there.

One of Shucker's principles posted that they would open in the Spring - I don't know if that has changed. I'm not sure about the other place.

Sally's By The Sea Store has incredible fried chicken as well as other great foods.

Johnny McTighe's Pizza and Crab House will open some time this Spring in the shopping strip with Blue Mountain Liquor and Market.

As for the old "Nick's" at the intersection of Hwy 83 and 30A, I've heard so many different things about who and what is going there, I don't believe any of them. I guess we'll just have to wait and see.

**Franny** · 01-12-2009, 09:05 AM

Pizza and crab? That seems a little unusual.

**rheffron** · 01-12-2009, 03:29 PM

Sorry for Lee's, but they were to expensive for Fried Chicken and the Service was not up to par.

Is that really going to be a gentleman's club? Shocked to see that on 30A!

I'm really surprised to see this quote. With all of the restaurants closing around us, several affordable ones come to mind. Why don't we support those that are still open. A few examples: Flip Flops Grill, Cowgirl Kitchen, The Red Bar, Hurricane Oyster Bar, Jambone, Seagrove Village Market. Forgive me if I've left anyone out, I know there are several more. I think we need to focus on our local restaurants before wishing for more.

I am really sorry to see them closing. They were great for feeding teenagers and I personally always had good service there. Their Chicken Pot Pies were really good too. I hate to hear of another business closing....it's just so hard these days!

I know Fire and Basmati's do some great meal and drink deals during this time of year.

My problem is not that we don't have enough affordable restaurants, it's that I forget about some great ones!

**shellak** · 01-14-2009, 07:49 AM

we do support the local restaurants but have had some service issues with some of them. also, because of the off season, a number of them close early. those of us who work traditional jobs may not be able to get somewhere at 3 pm to pick up dinner. we love key lime cafe but they are closing early now. flip flops is another place where we have not been able to get to because they have closed early. also, some have erratic hours. guess that's part of living at the beach but it does make it more difficult to do business. i totally believe in supporting the local retail and restaurant business. 30a is what it is because of these people. we also need to support our local artists. i know art isn't a necessity but again, these amazing people have helped create the mystique of 30a.

**John R** · 01-14-2009, 09:25 AM

Have to jump in here with a huge plug for Gravel Road. Locals serving locals awesome food with great winter special pricing, and employing local musicians.

**Coaster11** · 01-15-2009, 09:50 PM

Ate at Hurricane Oyster Bar today... glad to see them back open, I think they were closed for a couple weeks for repairs?? Anyway the place looks great and lunch was really good. We sat outside on this cold day but the sun was shining on the deck and it was very comfortable... I need to go there more often.

Glad to see they are still there and really hope that we don't lose any more restaurants... wish our new ones the best of luck!!

I heard they were opening around march 3rd
They will be offering seafood and steaks.
Open for dinner 4:00 p.m.

**JustBeachy** · 01-03-2010, 09:36 AM

So, whatever happened to PJ's, did it go the way of Lee's? I hate that, because it was always a quick breakfast grab for my kids.

**ray** · 01-03-2010, 11:23 AM

i noticed jc's off the hook has been closed for 6 weeks or more. is it just closed for the season?

I think it's just closed for the winter months. Nicks on the Beach use to close for 2 1/2 months in the winter maybe their following suit

**shellak** · 01-03-2010, 08:23 PM

there is a sign by the side door that states they are closed for a couple of weeks over christmas and new years. i find it a bit weird since most of the winter traffic seem to come in those two weeks. i noticed mctigues was quite busy!!

**ray** · 01-03-2010, 09:59 PM

i think jc's has been closed since nov 20th at least.yesterday at 2:30 pm red bar had a 20 minute wait for lunch. the crowds the last week were amazing. it felt like june

I was disheartened to see PJ's go. Unfortunately, the company as a whole is hurting. They made a top 10 list, recently, of companies that have defaulted on small business loans. Around 50% of the new loans to them went under

They picked an odd time to stay closed. Every place along 30A was busy as all get out this week from what I saw while out and about. Still haven't eaten there. I'll have to hit them up in the spring.

**Green Knight** · 01-04-2010, 02:46 PM

JC'S was not open when I was down at Thanksgiving so it has been closed for almost a month and a half now...

**JustBeachy** · 01-05-2010, 04:52 PM

Oh that makes me sad to read, singinchicken. Thanks for letting me know though.

i wonder if ken's bistrot will reopen. just wondering because they opened during off season, then closed awhile back, saying they would reopen in the spring, i think. i still say it is prudent to be open during the 2 week holiday span. i'm curious about the closing aspect of any restaurant since i would assume you still have rent to pay with no income coming in. hope they come back, and i really want all these locally owned restaurants to succeed!! they are an important part of 30a's ambience!

**shellak** · 01-07-2010, 01:01 PM

Note: Jc's on the hook has reopened for dinner - 5 pm to 10 pm monday through saturday. I just called them.

**HD Lady** · 01-08-2010, 09:21 AM

If you have the opportunity, you should try JC's Seafood Bisque. It is wonderful! We go there often - enjoy the food as well as the service. The owners & staff are very friendly. JC's has become one of our favorites.
