H & M in DeFuniak Springs - the BEST hamburgers and hot dogs in Walton County. One of the two owners is always behind the counter, and their kids work there, too. The place is literally a hole in a wall because the interior is the kitchen/grill and counter seating for six. This is a great landmark run by a great family.

Here, here! My kids' all-time favorite restaurant ever, just ask them! Nothing like standing in there, waiting for a free stool and a burger...sigh.

Re: Hole in the Wall

Hey all. I am looking for recommendations of places that you would consider
"hole in the wall" joints, between Pensacola and Panama City. That phrase is open to interpretation, generally speaking, small, been around for a long time,
in a building or space that has some historical (in this town that means about 15 years) significance or eccentricity. It could be a place to eat or a place to get your shirts ironed It's a word of mouth kind of place, where the owners are probably on the premises quite a bit. Use your imagination. Thanks!

I'm curious why?

Re: Hole in the Wall

Thomas's Donut Shop and Mike's Diner on Front Beach Road in PCB. Thomas's has great burgers and the BEST curly fries. Mike's is great for breakfast although they have REALLY good burgers too. Same owner, I think.

The Place that used to be on Grace and is now on Harrison in PC.

I will third the Pasta Grill, Antonio is always a true Italian gentleman....

Mike's and Thomas' are also excellent choices....

Re: Hole in the Wall

Go to Carillon Beach and take a right onto Front Beach Road..Go east on Front Beach Road about 4.5 miles--on the left just past the Carousel Grocery store.

Re: Hole in the Wall

Flamingo Joe's in Panama City Beach. Best burgers, they have a turkey burger with pineapple that is to die for. You get homemade salsa with warm chips as a side.

Re: Hole in the Wall

Thanks for all the feedback. Please keep it coming! I drove to PCB yesterday and saw so many interesting and eccentric places, but haven't lived here long enough to know if they've been around "forever" Any more suggetions in Ft. Walton? And Kurt, this is for a proposed magazine article, since you are curious. Thanks again.

Re: Hole in the Wall

To me a true hole in the wall is Sunnyside Grill.

It is on the West West end of Front Beach Road, next door to an OLD putt putt place.
They only have so many tables so you may sit next to a stranger...

Breakfast is to die for. My In Laws go eat there every morning when they are here as they are early risers. Be careful with the pancakes, they are HUGE!!

Lunch specials are country cooking and a large assortment of other good things. They even have fried chicken livers which is, to me, a special treat...

I have never been in this place without seeing it full.....

Re: Hole in the Wall

The No Name Lounge! Located at the east side, foot of Hathaway Bride. A true dive and only serves alcohol and popcorn!! A very local eccentric kind of place.

Wish Jolly Rogers was still open!!

Re: Hole in the Wall

Ft. Walton- Buffalo's Reef on Eglin Parkway. Doesn't look like much, but great chicken options. Popular with the military crowd. Their super hot wings will make an Air Commando cry.

A little on the new side but worth checking out- Maas coffee on US 98. Tiny, tiny shop (during nice weather, there's a patio out back) that's far better than Starbucks.

For the crafty- Stitchery House on Eglin Pkwy. A very fun place for needlework stash supplies (needlepoint, cross stitch, hardanger, etc.)
