Need SoWal restaurant recommendation

Stinky's Fish Camp for sure!

Stinky's gets my vote, too! Also Red Bar!

Have a friend here from Dallas and she wants to try a restuarant on 30 A - what would you all recommend. Maybe some place with a good wine selection. We had been to D & K a couple of times the last couple of years and loved it but just read where they have closed. So sorry to hear that always had great service and great food.30

Would help to know food style and budget
But..........

Fire
Boragos
Basmatis
Cafe Tango
Georges


Best view
Santa Rosa Beach Club, good bar & wine selection

Got cash?
Destin Chops 30a

Right now we're into Cafe Thirty-A. If you want something less pricey with a great wine list, try La Botana. Surprisingly, Stinky's has an interesting wine list.

Cafe Thirty-A, Fire, and the Red Bar definitely all get my vote!

Stinky's has a really interesting wine list and great food. We stay across the street and everytime we eat out somewhere else I always wish we would have just walked over to stinky's

First choice, without a doubt - Cafe Tango. Excellent wine list, knowledgeable staff, gorgeous food made with love, fair prices - you must make a reservation, because it is small.

After that - tied among Stinky's, La Botana, Fire.

Cafe Tango gets our vote too!

Summer Kitchen/Blue by Night in Rosemary Beach is a longtime fave. In good weather, it's nicest to sit outside.

Did anyone mention Gravel Road? Haven't been dining out much lately (trying to diet), but that's another spot we like to go, and to take visitors.

Stinky's and Cafe Tango's are two of our favorites. We always end the evening at Sally's Backside listening to Redd... Talk about a great evening!!

Stinky's BBQ shrimp is fantastic!
Cafe Tango's one of the best steaks I have ever had.


My mouth is watering....................... I need a Stinky's fix!

Where is Sally's Backside?

Can't believe nobody mentioned Fish Out of Water at Watercolor. Only 4 Diamond Rest. along 30a with great food, service, excellant wine selection and is about the only rest. with a great view right on the beach. Only one with a better view IMO would be Santa Rosa Beach Club.

Behind the gas station on 30a just west of 83/30a intersection

We can get food like that in Atlanta. We'd rather do something different when we're at the beach. Also we like to support local restaurants such as Caf? Thirty-A and Borago rather than a restaurant like Fish Out Of Water that is embedded in a huge corporation like St. Joe.

Sorry.

Ditto on Paradis. In Rosemary where Starbucks used to be. Awesome menu.

help w/restaurant price ranges and food types?

if we are wanting to try some of these for the first time, can someone give an idea of price range, type of food, and if reservations are required, recommended, or not? Also which ones only take cash and not credit cards?

any of these have specials like early dining, or other?

thanks much

I've had inconsistent experiences there on those occasions when I was lucky enough to be treated to dinner there. Service always good; food might be fabulous, might be embarrassingly bad.

I was surprised today to see a sign out in front of Cafe 30A 2 for 1 entrees from 5-6.

Chops 30A in Seacrest has a great 5-6 reduced price dinner...something like 17.95 for
entree (small filet, chicken or fish and sides?). Takes reservations. Pretty pricey menu
otherwise. Sometimes hard to get off the beach and get ready by then. We like to eat out
almost every night and love to support the locally owned places. There are lots of great
places...sometimes we narrow it down to how far we want to drive and take it from there!
Where are you staying? Glad to see Cafe 30A offering a "stimulus package". Spent way too
much last time we went, love it there but were hoping they might offer some less expensive
choices on the menu. As homeowners (here part time)...we're very invested in wanting the
restaurants to succeed and do our best to make that happen!

thanks for helpful input ... and for confirming that my eyes did not deceive me today when I thought I saw a sign saying buy one entree get one free at Cafe Thirty-A ... I thought perhaps I imagined it ... =-)

We love to try new places and love the referrals here on this site for great restaurants around ... but it sure helps to have some idea of price range, cash only vs credit cards accepted, atmosphere, reservations required or suggested, etc. -

I love all the restaurants mentioned above and go to them myself. I would like to invite y'all to Bud and Alley's. Great view, amazing food (if I do say so myself), wonderful staff, and beautiful new chairs which really make the dinning room perfect. Of course, the Pizza Bar is the newest big hit on 30-A.
