New American Restaurants near Alys Beach, FL

“I really LOVE George’s. I grew up in the food industry and it’s a tough one. George’s has my seal of approval and their food is excellent in taste 👅 and Presentation and it comes out quick.“

“We’ve been coming to 30A for 5 years and this was our first time trying out the Citizen. It will be a go-to from now on! The food and service was amazing. We tried the whipped feta, chargrilled oysters, and the seafood grits and it was all fantastic. My wife got a drink and she said it was really good. Serhii was our waiter and he was so attentive and friendly. Will definitely be back next time we’re in town!“

“My wife, mother-in-law, and I enjoyed a fantastic Mother’s Day brunch at Edward’s in Rosemary Beach. They’re typically only open for dinner, but we were fortunate to experience one of their special daytime brunches—and it was a standout from start to finish! Jimmy, the GM, welcomed us and had us seated quickly on their covered patio, which was perfect even with the steady rain. The chef created a beautiful brunch menu for the occasion, and our server, Kiyonta, was friendly, attentive, and full of great recommendations. We started with Deviled Eggs, the Seasonal Fruit Plate, and the Caesar Salad—each dish fresh, flavorful, and elegantly presented. For our entrées, we chose the Shrimp and Grits (incredible!), the Lox and Avocado, and Edward’s Omelet. Every bite was delicious, and the plating was as impressive as the flavors. We ended our meal with a trio of desserts: the housemade ice cream sandwich, crème brûlée, and key lime pie. Each one was delightful, but the ice cream sandwich may have stolen the show. Huge thanks to the Edward’s team for making our rainy Mother’s Day feel special and memorable. If you’re in Rosemary Beach, Edward’s MUST be on your list!“

“Great place. Best cafe shop atmosphere and decor I’ve ever seen. Upscale, unique, indoor and outdoor dining. Highly recommend.“

“This place was a little too fancy for me even though it was reasonably priced. Most of the drinks are alcoholic so not good for kids or for people who can’t have alcohol. The salad was good but a little small. The service was good, though. Our waitress, Aria was really nice.“

“Had a fantastic time! Good food, excellent live music and the staff was great!“

“Had a birthday dinner for my wife here last weekend for a party of about 8 and the service was fantastic and the food delivered! Highly recommend!“

“Loved the food, service and ambiance. One of 30A’s best dining experiences.“

“One of the favorite restaurants in the 30A area. Not only is their food delicious, (their prosciutto flatbread is amazing) but their customer service from the owner, to the managers, to the servers is exceptional!“

“Hands down my favorite place to eat in the US. It's funny how many of my friends have tried the place for the first time and their reaction is always the same.... This freakin phenomenal. Suggest the Smokin' Turkey or the Cuban McConnell. Wish the B-A-C was back.“

“It’s rare to find a team that works this effectively together while maintaining an air of fun. This is the best Waffle House I’ve been to. We both got the egg breakfast with grits and toast. Everything was cooked perfectly. Our waitress was super attentive with refilling our coffee and checking in with us. We sat at the counter and got to watch the team work their magic. It made me want to work here.“

“Our waitress ( Chancey) was exceptional. This was a “ birthday to remember” with excellent service and food. Will definitely be going back.“

“After staying in the WaterColor Community for 10+ years each summer, I have never experienced that type of disrespect. Worse customer service ever. I do not wish that type of behavior on my worse enemy. Never again.“

“the band was awesome! service was ok. 10 $ for a 16 oz beer is rediculous.“

“We walked into the dining room and were met with the hushed, refined atmosphere you’d expect from a Michelin-starred tasting menu. Unfortunately, the food didn’t live up to it.

I started with the foie gras, oysters, and tuna dip. The oysters were some of the best I’ve ever had. Chef decided to prepare the tuna dip by sticking five store-bought corn tortilla chips into the top of it, as if that would suddenly make the tuna dip taste better. It felt less like the work of a seasoned chef and more like a child’s idea of what a fancy appetizer looks like.

If you were expecting a simple, savory foie gras preparation, Chef had other ideas. It was cloyingly sweet, covered in raspberry sauce and balsamic glaze. It tasted as if Chef said, “Let’s take this simple, delicious delicacy and see if we can make it taste like a funnel cake.”

The bread just might be the best I’ve ever had. Pillowy, soft, flavorful, light yet dense. Phenomenal.

I got the grouper, which Chef decided to enhance in three ways. As I took the first bite, I thought I was in for a masterpiece. But within seconds, the hollandaise sauce dried up, and so did the fish. I almost had to walk outside to eat it in the rain because it was so dry.

We were off to Kilwins for dessert for the best bite of the night.“

“one of the coolest streets in America. Great Omelets. Great Service! Awesome outdoor dining! Great place to eat and people watch. Overall great place by the sea.“

“Tim the owner stole from me and added on a tip that was not authorized.“
