The D&K Cafe in Old Grayton Beach, across from The Red Bar and upstairs. Can't beat the food, the prices, and the ambience. You can sit outside with a nice view of the Gulf and a breeze. Their gumbo, fish salad and fish sandwiches are the best I've had anywhere. We also get a double order of the boiled shrimp for the table. Had my husband's birthday party there and Doug did a great job for our group of 36 people. They are the favorite of all our guests at Grayton and everyone goes home with a D&K tee-shirt. During the off season, open for lunch and weekend nights only. During season, lunch and dinner daily. (D&K stands for Doug and Kathy, the owners.) A great place!

Does anyone know if Nina's(Nena's?) off of 98 West before you get to Destin is still open?
Was it just north of Hwy 98 a little west of where 30A meets 98? If so it is closed. I happened to drive by there today and the building was vacant.
That is(was) it. I had heard that it closed after Ivan. but was not sure.
Thanks.
Thanks.
How's about some OYSTERS on the half shell. You can't beat Hurricanes in Seaside. At least not the last time I was in town. Been a couple of years. Any other place locally that does as good a job and as tasty?

Acme in Sandestin
I've been to the Acme place. Service was extremely slow. Oysters weren't bad, but it took an act of Congress to get them. Plus I wasn't to thrilled with the lacksadaisical attitude of the servers themselves. They were more interested in each other than the customer it seemed. At least the day we visited. It was so bad I got on the computer and emailed my thoughts to the main Acme website. Don't know if it did any good, but at least I felt better.

I've had that experience, too, but the oysters usually are quite good.
Buster's, which is across from the Silver Sands outlet mall, advertises itself as a local's oyster bar, but I can't recommend them. Indifferent service and oysters that arrived at the table dirty and without ice. Tried again with the same results. Twice bitten, thrice shy. :roll:
