Thank you! I've heard good things about Farm & Fire and want to see the bay view here! Where is Down Island? Sounds like seafood??

Cafe Thirty-A is tops and has been for a looooong time. You will also like Bud & Alley's but go early - get a rez!!!

Locals love Chanticleer in Grayton, Louis Louis, Cafe Tango, The Bay is always good and a real beach bar! Shunk Gulley is pretty good (for a tourist trap) and always loved Borago and Basmati's.

Basmati's!

30A ain't the secret spot it used to be. Remember those tiny restaurants, serving up amazing local food? There ar eonly a couple left ... Now it's all about cranking out fancy meals for the tourist crowds. I've been around the panhandle for 30 years, seen the whole thing change. Just sayin', not complaining.

Even the celebs are ditching it. Luke Bryan and others? They're gone. 30A's lost that 'getaway' vibe. And it's not just the rich folks visiting anymore; it's everyone.

Take the Red Bar, for example. It was this cool, quirky dive, right? Then 30A blew up, the original burned, and... well, the new place? It's just not the same. Looks the same sorta but clean not funky. That's 30A in a nutshell: a total transformation.

Pazzo and Mimmos' are good Italian but kinda fancy we like Borago better - Amici's ... the pizza is good everything else is like Olive Garden which people like but meh. Angelina's is awesome. They show the love and are real people.

And Mimmo - turn your sign light down it's blinding! You only need a few of those bulbs on there!

Oku in Alys does not fit into the beach theme, and is an excellent meal. We were really impressed. The prices seem steep, but pretty comparable to other places around here.

It has been a hit from the start. A really nice space and good food.

Grayton Seafood Company is grayt. I'm surprised no one has mentioned it yet.

Borago! Delicious every time… and
Crust!

Both are excellent - we go most often to Bud & alley's, Fish Out Of Water and Farm & Fire - all are very good and have waterfront views and vibe.

We’re here for 4 days so far and unfortunately the food from top rated places has been underwhelming. We’ve tried George's, the perfect pig and Seagrove market cafe. The pig had a good breakfast, but the others were mid in my opinion. Worried that we won’t be too excited about food then if some of the top rated spots are just ok. Holding out hope for Cafe 30A and Bud & Alley's.

All subjective, but…

Down Island is definitely tops for seafood.

Farm & Fire has been hit or miss lately.

Thai Chiang Rai is a hidden gem if you like Thai.

Borago for Italian.

Ambrosia if you wanna go all out and do it fancy.

Shaka and Oku have great sushi but it can get pricey.

South of Philly is a solid little local place for lunch - cranking out good, simple food at good prices.

Paradis & Galleon’s in Rosemary are pretty solid too, but very much priced accordingly.

Grayt list!

I love Thai and haven't been to Thai Chiang Rai since they first opened. It was good and a nive place. I wasn't that impressed but I have high standards for thai food. I'll give it another shot.

Do they still have the redfish at F&F? it's the bomb.

Borago mushroom ravioli is spectacular, grayt bar!

SHaka is ok, oku is gorgeous but only ate there once.

If i lived closer to SOP i'd be a lot heavier.
