Great Southern Café

Great Southern Café fuses Southern cooking with flavors from around the world. Open for breakfast, lunch, dinner and drinks, Great Southern is located on Central Square in downtown Seaside, Florida. Offering both inside and outside porch seating, as well as a vibrant bar scene on the outside covered deck, Great Southern is the perfect place to relax and take in the bustling scene of one of South Walton’s most beloved towns.

Award-winning chef and owner, Jim Shirley and his team are widely respected for their seamlessly quality fare. Whenever possible, the culinary team sources ingredients locally – fresh produce from nearby farms and fresh seafood from the Gulf of Mexico. Great Southern is a place for seafood, steaks, veggies, handmade burgers, hearty Southern breakfast, and oysters from their famous raw bar. The award-winning Grits a Ya Ya are a must try and their Sunday brunch is a tradition for locals & visitors alike.

Great Southern Café has earned a Wine Spectator Award of Excellence and Chef hand selects the wine list himself. One of the best happy hours in SoWal happens daily, and the porch is the perfect place to relax with one of their world-famous mojitos after a long day on the beach.

Located on the westside of Great Southern’s porch, B.F.F - Bushwackers, Frosé and Frozens is a grab and go bar by nature that takes pride in using high-end spirits, freshly squeezed juices, and organic mixes where possible. Expanding The Great Southern Cafe experience, be sure to check out Shirley’s C-Bar and The Chicken Shack.

Great Southern Café is open daily for breakfast, lunch, dinner and drinks on Central Square in the heart of Seaside. See menus and more at thegreatsoutherncafe.com. Find info on specials and upcoming events on social media.
