You guys have talked me into forcing a family outing to the Smiling Fish Cafe and probably Yianni's too!

You'll be glad you tried Smiling Fish and just got comfirmation from my brother that Yianni's is very good too.

You're missing out! Yanni's is excellent.

Does anyone know if Pancakes & Crepes(not sure if correct name-located west of Outlet Mall) is still there? We've eaten there several times-love the French Toast.

Went to Blue Orleans yesterday for lunch. Their lunch specials were the dinners that they will be serving starting next Thursday. Had the crawfish cakes and they were delicious! Cajun type food. Lunches were about $8-$11. THey serve breakfast until 2pm, so that works well to feed the kids. Casual atmosphere for lunch. Not sure about the wine. Met the owner and he seems to be fun guy.

Tell Gator that a lady named Joan from MI says to give a shout out to her. I just love his breakfast.

Smiling Fish is the best.

Yianni's - just okay / not great IMO

I don't do much fried of any seafood except shrimp & calamari...Nicks just did fried shrimp right...Shades does a calamari that's hard to beat...My daughter-in-law has given rave reviews for the coconut shrimp at Seagove Village Market....I'm compiling a list for our upcoming trip August 13 -21...Crab Cakes 331/Red Bar...coconut shrimp at Seagrove Village Market...Calamari and grilled Mahi Mahi at Shades...Brunos Veggie Pizza...Fish special of the day at D&K's...Can't wait.....

we don't really have your basic fried seafood in SW, except Seagrove Market. I do miss Nick's.

It has quite a different ambience than 30-A, but Baytowne Wharf at Sandestin has several good seafood spots. There, my favorite place for fried shrimp and oysters is Poppy's Seafood Factory. They do a version of it several different ways, including Caribbean panne. Very, very good.

Oh Tootsie...I feel your pain! We miss Nick's so much! It was my son's favorite and he still wears his Nick's on the Beach T-shirt!

There is a Nicks on the Bay in Freeport. It's on Hwy 20 after the 331 intersection about 6 or 7 miles. Man it's a dive! But a very clean dive! Awesome view, super nice people, same good food. We ate there leaving the beach last Sunday. It was a great experience and we had never seen that view before. Also the breeze off the bay was awesome
