Hey all. I am looking for recommendations of places that you would consider
"hole in the wall" joints, between Pensacola and Panama City. That phrase is open to interpretation, generally speaking, small, been around for a long time,
in a building or space that has some historical (in this town that means about 15 years) significance or eccentricity. It could be a place to eat or a place to get your shirts ironed It's a word of mouth kind of place, where the owners are probably on the premises quite a bit. Use your imagination. Thanks!

Little IBd and I had lunch at Louies today in PCB. This restaraunt was located where Big Daddy's is now.
I cannot vouch for the rest of the items on the menu but what we had was excellent!
Fried Butterflied Shrimp - just the right amount of batter, no sauce needed. Perfect!!! (oh and fresh)
Chicken tenders - they cooked strips of fresh chicken breasts, Lil IBD devoured them and the mashed potatoes and gravy.
Louie's is located on the backside of the Chevron station at the "Y"

Does a hole in the wall have to have grease?

Red Bar, Village Market Cafe, Shuckums, Hurricane Oyster Bar, Dusty's, Hunts, Elmo's....just to name a few. Although some might not consider these "Hole-in-walls" by definition...they are unique in that some are in the back of grocery stores, don't require shirts, have a casual neighborhood feel...etc. You know what I mean when you visit these places!

I'm amazed someone has not metioned El Mercandito's next to the post office. Really small restaurant in the back. Its just East of the post office in the same shopping strip. Great Cubans and banana leaf tamales.

All of this talk of hole in the wall restaurants, greasy food, etc. makes me miss going to get French Toast, smoked sausage and home fries for breakfast at the Seagrove Wheel House because I was on vacation and I could.

and most of them listed in 2008 are still with us, 5 years later. Meanwhile, the latest "concept" or fine dining wannabees come and go.

Holes in the wall are great, unless it is in a bathroom.

Theos in Miramar Beach has been gone as well for the last couple of years - although Liz the previous owner is still around. Linda Theo who was the previous owner still bartends at Pompano Joes.
