Anybody rememer the old wheelhouse restaurant in Seagrove? It served good old southern-friend heart attack breakfasts in the morning, and during lunch they'd serve vegetables out of giant cans and chilean beef-like stuff to the construction workers, and then they'd serve meat-n-3's to the 4pm looney-pinching snowbird diners.
Then it "burned down" as we say here in SOWALMART...and now it's as black inside as a Walton county commissioner's heart (and that is a DAAARK place, children).
Wonder what 18-story "community" JOE might have planned for that location (now that the "MARKET HAS MIRACULOUSLY BOUNCED BACK to BIG SUPER #1 EVERYTHING OK TIME" as the few remaining realtors like to repeat over and over in hopes that if they say it often enough to enough stupid people that it will somehow come true)?
Anyway, the ladies who served the food were great. They were pros ay slinging hash and pouring gallons of coffee---and the coffee was always hot. But the grits, they often could be served cold, though, and the former politician/felon who ran the place could get damn sure get on your nerves, but that was part of the charm of the old Wheelhouse---it truly was a microcosm of SOWALMART: too little parking, too many people wanting in, cold grits at inflated prices, and just when you fall in love with the rancid old shed, it gets 'burned down.'

If I can ever win that dadgum lottery, I will open up a nice sports bar that serves some good local fresh seafood.

TeresaSoWal GuideSouth Walton, FL30,970 postsJoined View profileMessageSoWal Guide...and when you are in Panama City (not the Beach), you can find another Corams, on 23rd St. Same family, brothers I think, but they separated and went their own ways. The food is mighty tasty and dirt cheap. I believe a 1/4 hamburger, crinkle cut fries and tea are around $5. Yummy. Full breakfast menu too.
these little gems are harder and harder to come by these days. especially in sowal. :roll: we've decided to start telling restaurants what we expect in the way of a french fry. the fry is going downhill fast in this country! we must demand good fries! (none of those battered fries that look and taste like tater tots because they are processed potatoes... yikes! 😱 ) also, from now on whenever a server asks if Pepsi is okay, I'm saying NO!
thank you for listening...

Wheelhouse was my first breakfast on my first visit to Seagrove in 1998. Yes, they could sling a mean breakfast.

Why would anyone think a Pepsi is okay when you've ordered a Coke?:bang:
That drives me crazy around here...I always say NO! and then order tap water!

Beach Runnerbeats on hoodNear the ATL and in SoWal as often as possible15,269 postsJoined View profileMessagebeats on hoodWe were longing for Wheelhouse omelets and biscuits last Saturday. Had to settle for cereal and fruit, more healthy but not as yummy.
Don't even talk about the Coke/Pepsi thing to me. I was born and raised in the ATL, and I refuse to drink Pepsi.
