We watched "Beach Bargains" last night. There was a couple looking for a two bedroom gulf front condo. They wanted Destin. Their budget was around $300K. Their realtor showed them one about a half mile from beach for that price. Waterfront would be around $500K. In Panama City, most of the gulf fronts were $300K. They bought in P.C. for $200,000 cheaper in. That's a lot of bud Light!

tide 12 , if not fine dining, then what would you call Saltwater Grill or 5 star Firefly. When did Bud and Alleys fall under the category of FINE DINING ?

Firefly is just bad IMO, and Saltwater does not remotely qualify as "fine dining". One step above Red Lobster.

There are many locally owned restaurants in PC and PCB that do very well because they cater to their market, both locals and tourists. Bud and Alleys, obviously, did not. It is what it is, everything can't be 30A..

So sorry to hear this, David. We were anxious to try it on Labor Day Weekend.

We have loved your food in SoWal ever since you opened B&A. I fondly remember the night when we were at Bud & Alley's and sitting next to Al and Tipper when he was running for office. So exciting! Great times there, and more to come.

Same here! I was waiting until this fall for a lunch and dinner over that way! I'm really sad.

Okay what am I now...Diver Scallops, Grouper Grilled or Blackened, Airline Chicken, Shrimp and Grits, Crab Cakes, Fried Seafood Platter, NY Strip or 6 oz Tenderloin and tonight's special is Neiman Ranch pork chops.......Answer...every entree menu at 80% of the highend restaurants on 30a. Dont get me wrong damn good in most cases, but mix in something different.

Same thought here and you have to wonder exactly who did the marketing plan/due diligence prior to making the decision to opening up there. PC/PCB is not SOWAL (Thank Goodness) and attracts a different type of tourist.

I doubt PCB has any desire to be like SOWAL. Why the nose in the air?
