Restaurants near Grayton Beach

“Such a fun bar. The band playing tonight (3/17) was really good and fun. The food was really good for a bar. We had the gumbo, shrimp and crawfish pasta, and the blackened grouper. All very tasty, well portioned and presented. It can get loud while the band is playing, but if you don't mind it, you'll have a good time and meal.Parking: Parking is hard to find.”

“I love this place. It is my go to on 30A. I am gluten free so can't have pasta there, but I have asked them to work on that. Everything is good and the bartenders and servers are fun and fantastic! I never get steak out but I tried theirs on my last visit, and it was cooked to perfection. I would have licked the plate-but you know, not something you do in a restaurant! Can't wait to go back.”

“Came on Saturday evening. Had a reservation. Everything (food) was very good. That being said, nothing blew me away.Parking: There is a Grayton Beach team that serves a remote parking lot near 30A.”

“Me and my family come here often as locals and always enjoy the food and service. The most recent time we had Madi as a server and she was very sweet and attentive and did an amazing job!!”

“Enjoy a very nice dinner tonight. Great service great tasting food. Major improvement since I’ve been there last time. We highly recommend Ambrosia and we will be back”

“It was worth the drive from Destin to come here. Super high-quality fresh food with clean ingredients all made from scratch. They are even experts at allergen sensitivities .”

“We had an incredible experience and really enjoyed our time there. The food was incredible! I loved having the chef come out before each course and giving the background and information behind how they were crafted. It was such a unique and intimate experience that we will definitely be back and highly recommend it to anyone in the area! We will certainly be back!”

“Great service and great food. My wife and I went there for my birthday dinner. Wow. Both of us had wonderful meals and an extraordinary experience. Everyone was very friendly and welcoming. I recommend this restaurant.”

“You know a coffee barista is good when you order a cappuccino and get a real one instead of a darker latte. I loved my cappuccino. Their coffee tastes delicious. Highly recommended.”

“You won’t be disappointed! Creative flavors, nice staff but be patient because you’ll most likely need to wait in a long line but it will be worth it. The only downside is the cost but remind yourself you’re supporting a local small business and it doesn’t hurt as bad!”

“Went here for Easter breakfast after church. It was our first time, and we'll definitely be going back. The food is really good (menu selection and quality), but the service is amazing. Great staff. Friendly, helpful and very attentive. We sat outdoors which was nice, but next time I think we'll try inside. Gouda Grits were amazing as were the chicken and waffles, but I'm a big Southern food lover. There are of course plenty of other dishes from which to chose if that's not your thing. If you're up and around early in the morning near Grayton Beach, this is the place.”

“Incredible grilled oysters! Full bar menu including specialty cocktails and beer. They have some of the best oysters I've ever had, and quite possibly the best on 30A. I recommend the Duck Fat Fries and the Chicken Tenders. Lovely view of 30A and the ocean, as well as fantastic service. Thank you Carlton!”

“We just were running up before 5pm to grab salad, pizza and dessert. No where did it say reservations required, nor was the restaurant anywhere close to full. The front desk people made a big deal over us not having reservations, there was no room for us. Ok so as we prepared to live, we can sit you at the pizza bar. Ok. So many ways that could have been handled but made our entire family feel a little awkward. We eat at nice restaurants on a regular basis and never had an interaction quite like that, if there is no room the best interaction is to just let the guests know they are full. It took 3 different people pointing out no reservations, making us feel like we needed to leave and then seating us at the bar. Which was fine, the bread, pizza and salad were delicious! The Tiramisu was amazing! The server was incredible, the front desk was disappointing.”

“This restaurant is probably the primary reason I come from Nashville every year! The beach is cool and all and the whole area just has the perfect vibe, but Stinky's is what keeps me coming back. The Taste of Stinky's sampler and the fried boudin bites are life changing lol”

“This is an absolute must stop if you are in the area. The Philly with their special sauce was insanely good. Same with the fries.My wife had the gyro and we have had many in our life but she said this was the best she's had.To top it all off we got a chocolate chunk cookie. Amazing.Super friendly and quick service and although it's a small place, it's exactly the kind of atmosphere you'd expect for a sandwich shop. Very cool vibe with all the retro pictures throughout.Make this a priority to stop here if you love food. It's worth going out of the way if you need to.”

“We went to Palm Folly for trivia night and it was so much fun! Great service, atmosphere and experience. We will definitely make this a regular and recommend this spot for all visitors to our area! I am looking forward to trying some of the other fun evening activities!”

“Ordered the fillet with a side of two scallops. Ordered the Aji tuna appetizer. All was fantastic! Other items in pics collard greens and truffle fries. Delicious! Ordered the salted caramel brownie. Way to chocolate-y for me. Thought there would be more caramel. Would not get this again. Each table has a light and I LOVE that.”

“Great food, beautiful restaurant. The photos and pictures are something to stop and stare at. I had the crab cakes and they were wonderful. I saved room (the portions are very large), for desert. The Key Lime pie is wonderful.”

“Jordan has a true gem in Seagrove Beach! His wide variety of delicious flavors for ice cream and shaved ice is always the best! We love this place and highly recommend it to everyone.”

“I am visiting family in Santa Rosa Beach and we came here for dinner. I have to say that the customer service here is some of the best I have seen in any restaurant I have been to. The staff is friendly and attentive. They come to check on you throughout your meal.The food compares well to Thai Food I have had at home. If you're traveling and like Thai check this place out.”

“Came in 15 minutes before they opened seeking coffee. They were kind enough to let us in and make a couple wonderful espressos. Friendly and warm service, will be back!”

“Wow, what an experience!!!EVERYONE we met on vacation told us we HAD to go to old Florida fish house. I was skeptical but we made sure to fit it in. Definitely get a reservation online - it is needed and one of the few places that takes reservations.The ambiance here was other worldly! It was so enjoyable and unique. We took our family as a party of 7 and sat outside on their large decorated patio. This wasn’t your ordinary patio - there were waterfalls, flowers, live music, and yard games. We sat nestled by the river at sunset. It was casual but upscale in vibes - really a special dinner that was unmatched in its ambiance to anything else we experienced on 30A.The food and drinks were delicious. We had shrimp and grits, gumbo (woah flavor!), a delicious flounder special, and crab cakes. Service was very prompt and the place was PACKED by 5:30. Prices match the atmosphere but were comparable to other more mediocre seafood places nearby.I rarely give 5 star reviews but between the atmosphere, great service, delicious food and unforgettable experience this was definitely a five star dinner for us. I really recommend you make this part of your stay on 30A!”

“We traveled almost an hour to come and eat at this restaurant. Wow, what a surprise. Clean, welcoming in an area that we have just discovered. The meal was excellent and the service as well. Thank you and long life to your restaurant. P.S. The toilets were also very clean.”

“Love the originality of this place. Perfectly quirky which is a trait quickly disappearing from this area. Drinks are a deal at their size and the food has tons of variety.”

“We ate at Village Market last night with our six young grandchildren and our sons and their wives. Service was amazing! Food was great. We tried the crispy chicken thighs, the corn chowder, the grouper sandwich and the crab cake sandwich. The kids ate fried shrimp and grouper bites. It was all hot and fresh and delicious. Village market is relatively new. It’s convenient, has great space indoors and outdoors. Family friendly.”

“We frequent The Citizen, a favorite restaurant in the gulf coast every time we visit. Always excellent service, always excellent food and drinks! We love the atmosphere here and enjoy this treat. ?”

“We are so happy to have discovered this gem of a restaurant! The food was amazing, service was wonderful. Chef's 30A Deli is going to be added to our list of favorites!”

“I heard a lot about the art and I wasn't disappointed. One of a kind surf boards and motorcycles. You owe it to yourself to go see it. Besides the choice of beer is really good.”

“One of my favorite spots! Great atmosphere & great seafood! It's difficult to find your good "basic" seafood (raw oysters, crab claws) restaurants, like I enjoyed as a kid with that casual, fun atmosphere whether with your spouse or your kids.”
