Hey Guys-My family and I are going to be in the area July 9-16. We are very excited about it but one of my downfalls is that I am a major planner!!!!!! I guess it is the school teacher in me-haheha Anyway, I have always found a board to check things out in whatever area we are visiting-One of my favorites has always been about FOOD!!!! Where the best is-what restaurants are famous for what? Price ranges and so on..... Is there anyone else who frequents this board interested in this kind of information-I am new-maybe there is already something like that here and I don't know about it. Anyway-thanks for all the great information so far!!!

My roomie is to start working at the Great Southern Cafe (Old Shades in Seaside) when the open. They had a food tasting Friday and Saturday nites and she says the food is Awesome! I can't wait to try that!

I know quite a few people that should have been invited. :roll: :lol:

Sounds very promising! Any word on when the place is scheduled to open?

:shock: I'm there! :clap_1:

My husband and I are in SoWal for the week. Thought I'd take
everyone's advice and head to the 331 tonight. Excellent
Sushi!! Sat at the sushi bar and Nick was very attentive and
well informed. This was only the 2nd time I've had sushi and
my husband's first. We both had a wonderful experience!!
The sushi was awesome, passed on the eel, but next time I
might brave it!! I picked up the lunch menu from the Southern
Cafe and walked in and checked it out....looked a little too fancy
for me on vacation and a little $$$$. Maybe, I'll try it one time
and we'll see.
The weather has been awesome and the beach looks great too.....
just so wonderful and funn!! The Seagrove Market Cafe has a
great blackened grouper too.
Yesterday, rode to Lilly Pad's in Grayton and today to Seaside.
Only a few more days left...... Lots of Real Estate for sale also
with a lot of "great" prices..... :wub:

We tried this new place and it was the worst meal of our trip. Don't waste your money. Went to the new Shades... loved it !

Some of the dishes at Great Southern are spectacular, like the tomato salad and the creamy grits with shrimp. Don't order the steak, if you're simply tired of fish. It should be removed from the menu.

Best meal for the buck is Borago's in Upper Grayton Plaza. Yum, yum! :clap_1:

Drive into Destin and right before the bridge to go to Ft. Walton, take a right....You guessed it DEWEY DESTIN. Great for an early dinner or lunch. You have to be there to understand it.

The last time we went to Dewey Destin's we ended up one table over from Cash of Cash's liquor and strip club fame. So it's definitely a local color sort of place.

I heard a lot of good things about DEWEY DESTIN from some locals. We have to try it. I just hate to fight the traffic to get there :idontno: .

I agree with everything you said.

I think I'll dine at Borago Saturday night as my Mother's Day treat. Mom doesn't want to come to the beach with us (says it's too far to go for a weekend :idontno: ), daughter doesn't want to be away from her boyfriend :( , so the man who made me a mother 🙂funn🙂 is going to treat me to a weekend at the beach.

No Borago - my daughter wanted to cook for me tonight. It was excellent. Her bruschetta and pasta with shrimp/broccoli/garlic/pine nuts/lemon juice.

We got into town late last night and were too lazy to go out. So we got Bruno's. The pizza crust tasted like Bisquick, and the cheese was awful with the consistency of fat-free cheese. And remember in the old days when they had big chunks of veggies and meat on the pizzas? Everything was chopped up into little pieces. And the salad was mostly rotten-looking pieces of dark stuff - gross.

Have they changed owners? Not the same pizza we had a few weeks ago.

We've been there - really enjoyed it and would recommend it.

Caution: it's deep in that 'forbidden zone' West of 30-A where many SoWalers dare not go! :rolling:

:floor:

:funn:

Victor- who pretty much ran the place went to Fat Daddy's. All kidding aside, that could have something to do with it.

Really! So we weren't imagining things. The pizza tasted and looked different. Thanks for the info.
