    Buh-bye Nick's On The Beach

    Things really, really changed after 2003. Even better in 1991. Just has gotten too busy with so many cars and the horrible golf carts. Places to eat years ago seemed to care because they had repeat customers. So sad.

    Seagrove Village Market Cafe Reopens Nov. 19

    OK, I'm back to the fries. I really believe that before George bought the place from the original owners that the fries were not coated. Heard he did a test test with some people and they voted on the ones he currently uses. They are quite nasty. The fries at George's, that he use to own were...

    Prize French Fries

    We love Grayton Seafood. They are the best. Got their fries once and changed to the cheese grits....love them and always want extra to take home. Will now try their fries. Good news.

    Prize French Fries

    98 BBQ fries are just like homemade ones. Finally went to the new Seagrove Village Market and they still have those really nasty coated fries. George's fries were very good....thought they might make the switch after they sold George's and settled on the market location. Don't think we will be back.

    Acme Ice House

    We did not like Acme at all. Interesting that most people we talked to over the last few years did not like it. It got a lot of 5 ratings at Trip Advisor. But if one looks closely most the 5 ratings were from people that had one review!!! I thought someone was giving them a free drink for a good...

    Misc Market Pulse | Seacrest Beach

    Rental Property in rental area or not? Rentals seem to be increasing at a higher rate. And it does look like people sit on them. Size(BR and BA) matter also. Good luck.

    Destin Diner CLOSED. Mama's opening soon

    Wanted Where are the kids?

    Shane P, You might not see kids. Looks for basketball goals and things like that. When we lived there they are out more on the weekends, in warmer weather, and in the summer. In warmer weather you will see them on the way to the beach at the first public walkover that is East of Camp Creek Lake...

    Wanted Where are the kids?

    Forgot this area is about 5 minute walk to beach access. And non-short term rentals with probably 80% full time. Very close to Alys Beach.

    Wanted Where are the kids?

    If you want off 30A and close to the beach try the North side of 30A in Seabreeze Subdivision and Camp Creek Rd S(which backs up to Seabreeze) and both have lake access. Good luck.

    Eating Mullet---I just can't...

    What are the names of the chains in MS that have catfish. Will have to try them next time.
  20. Iris

    is there a thread that lists the 30A restarants that have early dining specials?

    We always tip on the regular rate plus some.

    Still Think That After 20 Years Cafe Thirty-A is the Best

    We remember going to Cafe 30-A for their grand opening. It is still wonderful and gets a bit better year after year. There are still a few items that are still on the original menu... the Grilled Quail over Creamy Grits and the Margherita Pizza. Jim and Jason in the bar area are tops. David...

    Elmo's under new ownership

    We actually prefer the food a bit more at the bay location on Calhoun. Think the food is a tad bit better. However, if we have company visiting and wanting a cocktail we go to the Harbourside location. And in the summer with this heat we go to Harbourside!

    Elmo's under new ownership

    We love Dewey's. Drive there about once a month for the fried shrimp. We get the boat run for about $13. Enough for two. We usually get an extra order of hush puppies because they are the best we have ever had. If they are not hot send them back!

    Hardees Red Burrito?

    Interesting. They are really making a statement because it looks as though it is part of their name on their sign. Not just something they have as a special.

    Chringo in Grayton Beach Opens Mar 31

    So excited. The place looks fantastic. And we can't stand those frozen "crisp" fries with that horrible stuff on them. Shame on Whiskey Bravo for still serving them. Won't go back until they change. Hope when Seagrove Market comes back they change theirs. Horrible also. Won't go back there...

    Mi Casita Mexican Grill at Cassine in Seagrove

    We stopped by today. The menu is quite simple and seems to be very authentic Mexican. Tacos on corn tortillas with your choice of protein and garnished with onions and cilantro, $1.99. One can add tomatoes, cheese, etc all for an extra cost. Maybe we will try it one day.

    Sign went up (almost like a permanent one) and now it is gone. Never any sign of life there!

    take out fried chicken?

    When the Craft Bar opens(hopefully soon) they will have their fried chicken. We love the Happy Hour Nashville Hot Chicken for $5. Haven't tried their regular lunch portion.

    Where can I get great seafood in South Walton Area?

    Thought I replied to to his post but guess I just wrote it and did not post so here I go again. South Walton has some really good seafood but some times we just have to venture off the SOWAL path and go into PCB and share a big plate of fresh fried shrimp at Sandbar Seafood and Deli. It is...

    Whole Foods Market Coming to Destin Commons

    They even peel your shrimp for no extra cost! You buy your shrimp in the shells for a certain price and they then peel them.

    The Craft Bar Open at old Grayton Bar & Grill location

    Heard this last week. Hope they can make it work. We like the Craft Bar at Pier Park but not so much in Destin. Hope they get this one correct.
