Ok, we went to George's this week. We have been putting it off and putting it off. We're getting older and don't really like new things, however, believe that to stay young one needs to try new things so we decided to go down the road to George's.
The food was outstanding, the best we have had in a very, very long time along 30A or for that, in SOWAL. We had the coconut scallops and they were grilled to perfection. The grilled asparagas were a great surprise. Then there was the Lemongrass Curry Shrimp. It was to die for. Now, you need to like curry, because it is a curry dish and a bit spicy. The veggies in the broth were perfectly cooked.
George's was a bit crowded and it was the middle of the week and I see why. Ann, as in George and Ann, was the perfect hostess.
Can't wait to our next visit to George's.

Their lunch is incredible too. They have all these fabulous salads. You can pick 3 for a combo lunch. They have a great crab, avocado asian salad too!
Next you will have to try La Cocina George and Annie's Mexican restaurant in Seacrest. Ask for Hector in the dining room or Rhonda at the bar for a great experience.

Used to be the old Sandor's Rest. bld. that was on 395 near Seagrove Mkt. ( another George/Ann enterprise ) that they moved to Alys.

I forgot to add one little note about George's...For a really nice touch with the shrimp soup they give you this little dish for your shrimp tails, class, class, class.
And yes, we frequent La Cocina and love Hector. We do usually sit at the bar and really like Lisa. This past week we had Rhonda and you are correct she is great. La Cocina now has lunch specials for 6.95 served in the bar until 5PM and happy hour with half priced beer and drinks everyday they are open from 3PM until 5PM. Now that's a bargain.

Did I read that correctly? You have to de-tail your SOUP?
IMO unless it's peel and eat shrimp or something similar NO TAILS!

Love their lunch especially the chicken wrap and definitely sit outside and enjoy the view.

I don't understand that either. I've had gumbos and soups before with "shrimp in tails" included: awkward.

Love George's for lunch. Salade Nicoise is the best.

OK, we took your advise and sat outside. We had the chicken wrap and a grouper sandwich. And both were excellent. I could eat the grouper everyday. All white, not a pin head of dark on the fleshy white meat. I have never had better. Both were huge.
We sat at one of the tables with others and they informed us that they were down from AL at least four times a year and eat at George's at lease three times each time. The girl(lady) talked about her 12 year old son being a "foodie" and loving the grouper sandwhich and he was never so correct.
Can't wait for our next trip up the street to George's. Just don't know what we are going to have next. Might be dinner and a crab cake.
PS The view was wonderful and day could not have been better.

Glad you enjoyed it, the key lime pie is good too. The servings are huge, fries were good too.
Looking forward to a lunch there soon.

Not everyone has issues with shrimp tails.:roll:

And it is actually a compliment to the chef when a dinner picks them up with his/her fingers and eats them. The ultimate in relaxing and proving to the chef you are enjoying his/her food...just a tid bid from a friend of mine who owns a top restaurant in Atlanta and graduated from the CIA.
I love to eat things with the forks that God gave me.
