Restaurants near Mexico Beach

“Mexico Beach Sweets is the ultimate nostalgic treat pit stop. They have ice cream, candy, and any beach supplies you might have forgotten at home! I love their selection - you can tell the owners put a lot of effort into curating the store. Love this local gem!”

“Hella good soft shell crab”

“First and foremost, the food was amazing! The portions are generous, and the owner was super friendly and a joy to talk to. We ordered the chicken Hibachi, and let me tell you, this was some of the best I’ve had. The Chicken was so tender and glazed with a teriyaki type sauce. The vegetables (broccoli, zucchini and carrots) were al dente and had that great grilled flavor that complemented the chicken. The rice was perfectly cooked. The eggroll was super crispy, it was as big as a small burrito! The owner has over 25 years of Hibachi experience, so he knows what he’s doing. We will definitely be back here next year for our fall break. Check these guys out if you’re staying or passing through Mexico Beach! #supportsmallbusinesses”

“Some of the best Birria tacos I’ve ever had!! Also tried the chorizo and they were the perfect amount of spicy. They are cash only and prices extremely decent for the amount of food! Highly recommend!”

“Good Pizza, Friendly staff, and quick service! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

“Mango Marleys has been a favorite of mine for years. Great food and if you sit at the bar with Taylor. He will make you good drinks and give great service. So proud to have this place still in Mexico Beach. Have a 2nd home here and Marleys is a must before we head home.”

“Our friends brought cinnamon rolls and coffee back to the house we were staying at and a few days later we had to go try more of their menu. It did not disappoint!! Wonderful breakfast and coffee that’s not bitter or overly sweet! Perfection!”

“Excellent service. I'm from out of town. Mom and myself came in 30 min before because every restaurant in the area was closed. A woman and her husband was there. The woman was working. She was absolutely so hard working! Long line and she was all alone. So 5 stars to you mam! Such a wonderful person to talk with. Thank you!”

“Kieth and love and miss Richey’s since moving from the beach! 1st time back in a year and they never disappoint. We love the new location too! They will always be one or two of our food choices before leaving the beach!”

“Excellent assortment of flavors, but to be honest that maple bacon donut might just be my all time favorite.”

“Had surf and turf burger, sizzling shrimp, and the grouper po boy. Great food and good portions! Totally surprised! Highly recommend.”

“Love their tacos and margaritas.”

“Having been at numerous BBQ places throughout Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, South Carolina & Florida I have to admit Sparks BBQ is one of the BEST! If you’re Port St Joe Fl area I strongly recommend you give them a try.”

“Excellent service, friendly service, the ice creme was delicious. Not to mention how clean the place was.”

“Every trip to Port St. Joe deserves a trip to Port Poke. The atmosphere is always friendly and welcoming. Their bowls are very generous in portions and there is something for everyone with raw and cooked options for proteins, lots of toppings, sauces and add ons. One visit and you will be hooked!”

“The 50th Dolly Parton themed cake was a hit! Great job!”

“This is a gem of a place to eat for breakfast! The food is priced comparable to fast food but sooo much better! We ate there two mornings in a row and it all was absolutely delicious! This food has flavor y’all!! Hope to find our way back one day!”

“Love their food. Take out when we r in the area”

“To the person bitching about the bathroom situation at Dagwood’s, (or the lack thereof). In fact it is NOT required to have a public restrooms at a “take-out” restaurant when there is no indoor seating. And, by the way, their prices are more than fair, their food is delicious and consistent, and it is hands down one of the best places to get lunch in Gulf county. Here’s a good idea…go to the bathroom before you go to Dagwood’s, or get your food to go and go home so you have access to a bathroom for the 30-45 minutes it takes you to eat your sandwich. Dagwood’s is the bomb.”

“Don’t sleep on a trip to Joe Mama’s the next time you are in Port St. Joe. I’ve enjoyed brunch there the past two Sundays (so thankful it is back) and let me just say it is top notch. Delicious, generous portions and a great atmosphere. Indoor and patio dining available and a bonus perk- the patio is pet friendly.”

“Such a relaxed atmosphere and always good service. The burgers and paninis are absolutely wonderful.”

“we emailed Jodi Perez a week ahead of time to make a reservation. we were told that don't make any reservations. but as we set there the night we went we watched people come and sit at reserved tables. they do take reservations just not from common people. but don't worry the good is OK. but it isn't great or even really that good. over cooked pasta and steaks. lack of seasoning. marinara that tastes like it came out of a can. No one at our table finished any of the meals. the bar can't even make a traditional old fashioned. but in a email Jodi Perez said it is his business and he can do what he wants. he is correct. good luck with that.”

“The drinks are so good”

“Bruno’s is a great local pizza stop! They’re more than just pizza though! Most recently they helped us with a side dish of pasta for our wedding. Danny and his staff went above and beyond to make the process a breeze and we couldn’t be happier with the end result. We received so many compliments on the pasta (and are still hearing them)! Don’t sleep on Bruno’s when looking for a place to eat - their lunch buffet is one of our favorites (and where we first discovered the pasta)!”

“Came in today for breakfast and we met Sam. He is a great guy and made extremely good bacon, egg and cheese bagels for us! The best we have had anywhere! We also bought some banana nut muffins to go and they were fabulous also. Very nice cafe with great choices and excellent customer service by Sam. If you haven't tried it you should. We will definitely be back.”

“Love the place , service is like family”

“Salmon is delicious [Original] Salmon is delicious”

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Keepers Bistro is a true gem! The food is absolutely delicious — every bite was full of flavor and clearly made with care. The service was outstanding; the staff was warm, attentive, and made us feel right at home. The ambience is cozy, stylish, and just the right vibe for a relaxing meal or special night out. Easily a 5-star experience. Can’t wait to come back!”

“My adult daughter and I stopped by to look for a new wine to try. Katie and Dennis (hope spelling is correct) we’re fantastically welcoming and helpful! Atmosphere was comfortable, inviting, and beach classy. We left with 3 new “discoveries” and the HH is definitely on my list of favorite places.”
