50 Best American Restaurants near Inlet Beach

“Food was pretty good, especially their breakfast sandwiches, but a little on the expensive side for what you’re getting. It’s inlet beach so whatdya expect. Not bad, but could improve the business with more courteous staff, and slightly lower prices. You price where you profit, so maybe I’m wrong it’s a good area so.“

“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 pub with fun atmosphere and delicious food. Seafood and burgers were yum! David was our server. He had good recommendations, great attitude and fast service. I had the redfish with a Bloody Mary. Great lunch to end our vacation! We will definitely return.“

“Our first trip to Pescado was an unforgettable one! We had reservations and when we got there the hostess informed us that there was a seat outside if we wanted it. Little did we know, it was one of the best tables in the house! Our server was Hannah, and she was incredible! Her in depth of knowledge of the menu, and her ability to communicate it was impressive. Even more so, she wasn’t trying to “sell us” on anything. She answered our questions directly with granular details that enabled us to not only make a decision but to have the utmost confidence in what we were ordering. And SHE DIDN’T MISS! Everything we ordered was superb. We were able to have a nice experience on our “parents night out” without being rushed. So often restaurants along 30A are trying to get you in and out as quickly as possible and that was simply not the case. Lastly, compliments to the chef and kitchen staff. Everything that we ordered was excellent. We’ve lived all over the country, from LA to Miami, and had the opportunities to eat at several high end restaurants (including many with Michelin stars) and Pescado absolutely competed with many of those. We’ve eaten at numerous places along 30A as we have been vacationing here for 11yrs and I can tell you with 100% confidence we will be back at Pescado next summer! Hoping we can snag Hannah and an outdoor seat once again! Thank you for an incredible meal, experience, and a memorable night for the (4) of us getting a rare “night out” away from the kids.“

“I have a burger here about once a week. They are always delicious!“

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

“Absolutely amazing! 10 ⭐️!!! I’ve never had a food that has been stuck in my mind before. The Shrimp Tacos were the best I’ve ever had in my life. I’m from Matagorda Texas which is a coastal city. Needless to say I’ve had a ton of shrimp tacos in my life and these weren’t even close to being in the same sentence as the others. Above and beyond for sure. Definitely in a league of their own here in Florida. Not to mention the salad that came with it was no doubt the best salad I’ve ever had. The flavor combinations was unlike anything I’ve ever had. Not sure what the dressing was but it was absolutely to die for. These tacos and salad will be on my last meal death bed meal list. Keep up the good work. Did I mention. I’ve never written a review before and these tacos brought it out in me. Touché!!!“

“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!“

“This place will be a staple breakfast stop for us in PCB. It's an all around great breakfast, we had the buffet everything was great, biscuits was supreme, good grits, eggs, bacon, sausage gravy, country fried steak, it was all great. We all loved our waitress, she made our breakfast memorable and enjoyable! Yall keep up the good work!“

“Food was amazing!! Their fried chicken is the best tasting and the pork chop was delicious and soooo tender. You could cut the pork chop w a fork. Yummy. The poppyseed salad was the best and the green beans ooh, so good! But the sweet potato I couldn't get enough...yummy, yummy, yummy! I'm too full to eat dessert but they let you take that home w you. Our waitress, Kaitlyn, was so sweet and attended to our every need. A place we will recommend to our friend's and family. Now to go and walk off those extra calories. Haha! Well worth the extra calories!!!!“

“While On vaca in PCB we ate at Salty Sue’s the first day. Everything was good. We had blackened grouper which was cooked perfectly. Fish and chips, calamari, fried oysters, were all very good as well. Two of us went back our last night for the grouper again. This is the only place where you can get cobbler of the day as a side dish with a meal. My sides were steamed broccoli with butter and a tasty blackberry cobbler with vanilla ice cream. Well done Salty Sue’s! We will be back every time we r in PCB“

““B” is the best! Such a fun experience for my birthday weekend.🎉“

“Was our first time eating here, and honestly we loved it so much we ate it again the day before we left! Delicious food, and the guys running it was phenomenal, They were so kind and generous, I wish more places we're like this! we will definitely be coming back when we vacation again!“

“Hands down the best oysters I’ve ever had. They were incredibly fresh and shucked right in front of us, which made the experience even better. The mignonette flavors were spot on and were bright, balanced, and a perfect match for the oysters. There was a great variety to choose from, and the happy hour pricing made it an unbeatable deal. We walked in on a Friday afternoon with no wait. Absolute gem!“

“I’m just in love with the best burger ☺️“

“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.“

“While attending a board meeting and on a lunch break I tried the grouper sandwich blackened. The crisp lettuce and tomato with a slice of red onion was delicious. But the aioli sauce made the tender thick fillet of awesome fish perfect. Seasoned just right and a bistro salad to start I wasn’t hungry for dinner till much later. It was fantastic! The salad with cranberry and cucumber and cherry tomatoes was amazing. The sliced toasted almonds were a nice touch. Blue cheese dressing on side of course. My server was very attentive and friendly. Very kind lady as were all the staff were during my stay. Enjoy“

“Exceptional service and wonderful food!“

“We got married and had dinner afterwards at Paridis and Mike the general manager treated us like family, Launa was our server and she went above and beyond for us, took our pictures kept our glasses full and smiles on our faces. The night was magical and couldn't have been better. We had the triple tail lobster 10/10 , beef & blue cheese tortellini 10/10, tuna tartare my wife loved it, for our entree she had the cast iron filet and it had THE BEST crust on a steak we've ever had, I had the rack of elk and it was my first time ever having it and would HIGHLY recommend it one of the best dinners we've had. 10/10 would recommend eating here if you have the opportunity 🥂“

“We went here last night 6.19.25 & Paris was our waitress and she went above and beyond. This place was packed from the moment it opened, we were her first night table of 12& she instantly had a bigger table of 15 and she handled both with grace and the most professionalism! We will 100% be back because of the food and Paris! Also, the food was so amazing. Great portion sizes! Outside there is a pool full of alligators that you can look at while you wait!“

“Today was our first visit to Shades Bar & Grill. We were there for lunch & the food & service (our server was Sarah) could not have been better. We ordered the chicken & sausage gumbo, Philly cheesesteak & the chicken jalapeño ranch wrap. Our sides were onion rings & sweet potato fries, however we had a hard time making a selection because of the many great food options to choose from. All the food was delicious & Sarah was a top notch server who was friendly, prompt & efficient. Definitely recommend & will visit Shades again when back in the area.“

“Stopped in late on NYE and we were greeted by an incredibly friendly staff and crazy fast service. Best Waffle House experience we’ve ever had, and really one of the best customer service experiences we’ve ever had anywhere. All the staff were friendly, however Cam was our server and he was fantastic- born to be in the hospitality/customer service industry.“

“We traveled to the beach for Spring Break with a group of teenage boys. They spent an evening here watching college basketball and had a great time! Thank you for being a family-friendly place that I felt comfortable letting them go. ☀️🌴“

“Walked in a was immediately greeted by Mr. G! He was awesome! He talked to our toddler and played frozen songs for her. Then gave her a hat and took a family photo for us. The food was fantastic and was placed in front of us within 5-6 minutes. He was so incredibly kind. Will try and come back on our next trip here.“

“The best coffee in Seaside! Amavida Coffee have been generous supporters of our local educational outreach program, serving up delicious coffee and amazing pastries each morning for our large group. The croissants are especially good; I ate one every day for a week. The Longleaf Writers Conference loves Amavida Coffee!“

“Our favorite restaurant. We drive almost an hour just to eat here. Food is always amazing. Best Ribeye steak anywhere. Quality and taste beats Texas Roadhouse ever time. Music isn't blaring so that it is hard to hear each other talk. Perfect. I wish they had one closer to DeFuniak.“

“My husband and I love going to The Brass Tap and have been customers in different cities. We go for the beers, and don’t mind the food either! I usually order the tacos lately, because they are light and always yummy. The live music on Friday nights at Pier Park Brass Tap is always wonderful. The “lady with the hat and guitar” is a very talented musician. We do not know her name. A few comments though … Some of the messaging on the board and mirror above the bar, last night, was not so great. Some of the language was disrespectful and didn’t instill good feelings with us. If the owner happens to read this, I have photos and am happy to share.“

“this place was amazing the food was great our server Alexis was wonderful made our dining worth the wait“

“Cute little Airstream in Seaside where we got a All American grilled cheese. One of the last shops to close down, the service was fine, and the grilled cheese was phenomenal. It took a while to be prepared, but after taking the first bite, I could tell why... They cook that grilled cheese low and slow, getting the exterior of the bread nice and crispy while leaving the inside light and fluffy. The cheese steamed up all gooey. My only regret is not getting a picture of the cheese pull.“

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

“When relaxing on the beach it’s so nice to have this place close by! The fries were absolutely amazing and the burger is just what I needed after being in the water all day. The buffalo chicken wrap was really good too :) took this great pic with my burger when I got it, I couldn’t resist!“

“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.“

“Food was delicious and great service“

“Hands down the best Hot Chai Latte I’ve had! I drink Chai Lattes 1-3 times a week. I love Chai Tea for the spicy flavor mix. Amavida Coffee Roasters hit the mark on the head without me making any modifications, their blend had the perfect balance of spice! I wish there was a location in Orlando. I gave 4 stars for customer service just because it wasn’t Starbucks/Chick-Fil-A 5 star service, but the staff was chill. My children ordered iced chai lattes with oat milk and they

Parking: During a weekend day the area is busy, with few spaces in front of the shop you may circle the parking a bit or walk a little ways from your parking spot to the shop.

Kid-friendliness: The staff was cool with my 2 year old being a 2 year, I didn’t get crazy stares.“

“Friendly service and a very clean place with great food! The views from here cannot be beat for dinner 😍“

“Everything that they have to offer their.“

“Bud & Alley's is the best waterfront dining in Seaside and likely all of 30A. The breakfast is particularly excellent, and the staff is attentive and kind. They fed our large group and everyone loved it. The Longleaf Writers Conference is a big fan of Bud & Alley's - a supporter of our local educational outreach program for ten years! (The rooftop bar for sunset can't be missed.)“

“Food was absolutely delicious, exceptional costumer service, very kind, and didn’t have to wait long either. Would definitely recommend eating here!“

“We come here every single day of the week for breakfast when we stay at Tide Water!
The servers are all so sweet and one of our servers even remembered how we split the check and didn’t even need to ask after only having us 1 time!
The breakfast sandwich with Canadian bacon is to die for. A must try!
We love it here!“

“Delicious food, fantastic bar, beautiful views in a comfortable atmosphere, and marvelous service from Alex - we will be back. I was very grateful that nearly everything there was gluten free, and my husband was grateful that the hush puppies were not. (He ate 6.)

Dietary restrictions: Safe and delicious gluten free food.“

“We had the 16 oz ribeye and it was cooked perfectly and topped with a garlic butter. The sides were delicious and it was definitely more than enough for two people. We opted to sit at the bar, rather than outside due to the heat. The bartender was so helpful and kind. We're going back to try other things for sure.“

“We were in the area for a week and this was our favorite meal, service, and atmosphere! Laid back beach vibe with delicious food - just what we were looking for to end our week.“
