How is Thai Elephant? Any menu suggestions? Grayton Corner and Chanticleer, maybe Grayton Seafood, are still the best deals on 30a.[/QUOTE]

We've done the HUB,  That's a cool spot (when it's not hot).  Love the tacos.  The others we'll check out in October.

The Hub has a new chef and he's got the goods.

Chiringo Grayton Beach.  The pork sandwich is great. I recommend Blue Moon draught to wash it down.

Chiringo has a great location, but I sure wish they had a happy hour!

Yes sir.The only complaint I've heard on the SoWal furums is that their fries are not hand-cut. Not an issue for us, but just thought I'd mention it, since it seems to be a deal-breaker for some.

Also, in a while, the old Borago location in Grayton will be re-opening as Abrazo. Same folks, different theme. Definitely worth a try.

We're looking forward to things slowing down so we can come and eat on the east end again!

Hey there Otter! Take a field trip to Blue Mountain and try Trebeache. It's our new favorite restaurant.

RO, a short trip from your compound is Pho Pier 77 on Front Beach Road in PCB.  Very good pho and other lighter Vietnamese fare.  Good prices.  About a ten minute drive from Rosemary Beach.

Since the East End of 30A has gotten its fare share of restaurants (good ones too) we just rarely venture out past Alys Beach.  What are we missing?
