“Miramar Beach Restaurant delivers a memorable coastal dining experience with its unbeatable oceanfront location and relaxed outdoor seating. The atmosphere is casual yet charming, with views of the Pacific that elevate even a simple lunch into something special. Service is attentive and friendly, with staff who are happy to offer recommendations and accommodate shared plates.

For starters, the Cajun pot is a standout—spicy, aromatic, and perfect for sharing. It sets the tone for a flavorful meal. On the lunch menu, the grilled chicken sandwich is a popular choice, featuring a juicy, well-seasoned chicken breast on a soft bun with crisp lettuce. It’s often served with golden onion rings and a tangy barbecue sauce, as shown in the attached image. The portion sizes are generous, making it easy to split dishes among friends or family.

Whether you're stopping by for a casual lunch or a scenic dinner, Miramar Beach Restaurant offers a satisfying mix of comfort food, coastal ambiance, and warm service. It’s a great spot to unwind and enjoy the view.“

“An intimate place to love ❤️ live music.“

“This place is an absolute gem.
A work colleague and I dropped in here for breakfast on a whim, and oh boy, I wish I knew of it sooner.
I'm from the UK, so as soon as I walked through the doors, the decor was fabulous and gave me that american diner feel.
The staff were super, and the food was out of this world. I HIGHLY recommend the lemon blueberry pancakes.. I dream of them. The breakfast egg sandwich was the best I've ever eaten, fresh ingredients made with love and care.

The restaurant was light, airy and super clean. The bathrooms were even decorated beautifully and had fresh boquets of flowers.

Every part of the experience was thought through by the owners. The bill even came in a winnie the pooh book! So cute!!! 1000% recommend a visit here, you will not be disappointed and if I am ever lucky y enough to be in tebatea again I certainly will be making a stop.“

“Always a great burger after a day at the beach.“

“Best burgers with amazing onion rings…… great service! Thank you 🙏🏼“

“As a vegetarian choosing a dinner meal I opted for the Roasted carrots salad and quinoa pilaf. Looks were deceiving because they didn’t seem like much, other than just some carrots with fresh greens and quinoa and mushrooms with grated parmesan on top. However, I was pleasantly surprised that both dishes were more than ordinary; very fresh and delicious. I’m also glad that I made the last minute decision to order the salad as well for some extra greens to accompany my dinner. Sometimes it’s challenging as a vegetarian eating out, but these were a great pair for a well rounded meal with whole fresh ingredients.

Also to note; the quinoa pilaf description said it had pine nuts and pesto. This dish was very heavy on the mushrooms and I did not taste any pesto nor come across any pine nuts. It was delicious though and I felt better about it not having pesto, as pesto has a very high fat content.“

“I was there with my daughter and we both have great appetite. plates have plenty of food and it was delicious so much that my daughter bought extra hot sauce she really enjoyed it well so do I. highly recommended and I will visit you guys again whenever I go back to California.“
