The Outpost on Black Creek was initially constructed in the early 1980s as a general store. Over time, motorcyclists started to frequent the establishment in increasing numbers, resulting in growing crowds that provided a secure and enjoyable environment for like-minded riders. However, due to disrepair and the passing of one owner/operator, the property closed in 2019.

Following its acquisition by a new proprietor in 2021, the building and rear deck extending over Black Creek underwent a two-year renovation. His goal is to make the Outpost a fun, local hangout for Walton county families. Other exciting developments include a revamped menu, canoe and paddleboard rentals, and additional stages for music. The future of the Outpost holds an upcoming RV park, full service bar, a general store, and more!

I stopped by recently and was impressed by the remodel and the peaceful setting. I talked to Chef Ernie, who also owns and operates Cafe Nola in Defuniak Springs. Meet Chef Ernie | Cafe' Nola - he's proud of the place and said he's especially worked hard on getting the pizza right.

Music, fresh pizza and scenic views. The Outpost on Black Creek, a popular spot since the 1980s that closed for a few years in 2019, is open again and ready to serve as a family-friendly entertainment spot without traveling all the way to 30A.

As families get ready to return to school, The Outpost plans to to celebrate educators in Walton County with free pizza and live music, along with the announcement of a new music festival coming to the Emerald Coast.

History of The Outpost
The Outpost opened in the 1980s and was used as a general store. Motorcyclists began to hang out at the establishment and, over time, it came to be used by others as well.

The Outpost had come into a state of disrepair, and with the passing of a previous owner, the restaurant closed in 2019.

In December 2020, Chip Fife purchased the property and spent the next two years turning the facility into a top-tier entertainment establishment within the county, with the official re-opening day coming in November 2022.

During the repair, Fife added more amenities for guests and customers to enjoy. The restaurant menu has been revamped to include New York-style, thin-crust pizza and subs baked fresh to order, as well as savory desserts such as a Key Lime Pie and freshly baked cookies. Future additions include an oyster bar and a drink bar with full-service.

Along with additional seating and a refreshed back deck, The Outpost offers live music from local artists. Next month, the first annual Black Creek Music Festival will span three days with music, local food trucks and scenic creek views.

Artists expected to perform at the festival include Tim Jackson's Storytellers Tour featuring Joe Murphy; The Full Band; Outro; Deltaphonic; and more.

If you like to enjoy the outdoors, The Outpost plans to provide a bait shop on the property with kayak and paddle board rentals. RV owners will be able to park on the property, and boaters will be able to dock their boats and enjoy everything The Outpost has to offer.

On Aug 5, the first Back to School bash will be held at The Outpost. Customers with a Walton County School District employee ID will receive a free pizza all day. Boukou Grove and more will provide live music during the event.

The Outpost is closed Monday through Wednesday. On Thursday and Friday, the hours are 4 p.m. to 10 p.m. On Saturday, The Outpost is open from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. and Sunday from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m.
