Crackings - Grayton

51 Uptown Grayton Cir, Santa Rosa Beach

Cracklings is the ultimate brunch location! Our party of five arrived about 11am and were seated immediately because we joined the wait-list online 10 minutes earlier before driving to the restaurant. We ordered the traditional breakfast, biscuits and gravy, and summertime french toast, which for me came with a gluten free pancake alternative. It was delicious and I was so impressed with their consideration for food allergens. The food came out quickly and fresh and the service was excellent. It was outdoor seating with live music and lovely shops and foliage around for a great atmosphere. The only problem we had was that the table umbrella did not cover the full party and it was 90 degrees so a couple of us were melting. I recommend better coverings to block the sun. Other than that, wonderful experience! Would definitely recommend and return!

Great atmosphere. Walked right in and got a table at 8:35pm. Great ambience. Blackened Grouper was more bronzed than blackened, but the fish was a nice size filet, was fresh and complimented nicely with meunière sauce, wilted spinach and grit cake. Wife had shrimp and crawfish pasta which was a large portion, lots of nice sized shrimp, sauce was a little bland. Overall, great service and great food and the expedience helps....especially with an active 6 year old.

Went with a large party of nine and two kids. Everyone's food was great and the kids loved it too. They were able to play in the outside tent because many people were not around. Raw oysters and all cocktails were great as well. The waitress was great, we will be back next year while on vacation.

This was our first time at Blue Mabel & all of our expectations were just blown out of the water. We ordered the chefs board, skillet oysters, brisket, and tataki. We finished our meal with the creole bread pudding. The food was EXCELLENT. The pork belly & the Brussels sprouts were the highlights of the meal, but that creole bread pudding was probably the best I’ve ever had! The smoked old fashioned was excellent & I especially loved the themed cocktails. Wonderful food and atmosphere!

Did a hook and cook experience where we brought in fish we had caught that day. They were thorough and took the time to make sure our fish were prepared properly. Had blackened, fried, and grilled fish. All were fantastic! The sides were great too. Some of the best onion rings I've ever had, and the cheesy grits were fantastic as well. Go hear. They will treat you well.

My best friend wanted to take me here for dinner during our visit to Panama City. I wasn’t convinced it was worth the 70 mile round trip involved BUT it was worth every tenth of a mile! We each ordered the leek, cream, and crab soup and then we shared the seasonal toast and fried green tomato etoufee. Every bite of our meal was a unique, delicious experience. For desert we chose the bananas foster bread pudding with ice cream. Efrain was our server and he was the PERFECT host to one of the best meals I have ever eaten. We will not visit Florida without stopping here! Kudos to the chef and kitchen staff. We hope you enjoy the round of beer we provided in your honor. Thank you so much and see you next time!!!

Amazing BBQ place with -of course- brisket and other choices. We had the brisket in NAAN bread. Very good and tasty and what I like at a good brisket is it must be with some natural moisture.The choice we made was also with feta (+$1,50) but also gave that a little texture to the whole dish.You might think it’s a ‘little roll’ but it’s more than enough.My son in law ordered the ribs. OMG! That is a two person plate of good tasting meat.There were only two sauces but without it was good already. The sauce finished it off.The table had a roll of paper as napkin and you need a lot of ‘napkin’ so a perfect solution. We had also some finger napkins for the end.The staff is more then friendly and very helpful. There is a special beer/wine bar with a lot of choices (the IPA is very good)The room is very clean and I think everything is brand new. Also the bathroom is clean.One comment from me is that there are four white lights that bring the atmosphere a little down. If that’s fixed a perfect place for a bbq meal.Kid-friendliness: You see a lot of children eating but you don’t hear them because they enjoy the foodParking: A lot of space and two places for disabled people

Great family owned establishment! If your looking for BBQ this is a must visit place. The brisket melts in your mouth and the pork ribs have a fantastic smoky flavor.Tonight’s menu had a Sautéed Pork Belly as a special and it was incredible. The note-sized pieces had a crunchy crust and each pice was bursting with flavor. We also had the corn nugget appetizers which were pretty tasty as well.This was one of the best meals we had while visiting the Destin area. ????

Idyll Hounds Brewing Company

845 Serenoa Rd, Santa Rosa Beach

This brewery is easy to miss when looking for it as the signage is not that great. Right now it is the last building on the left. It looks like a small warehouse and we about didn't find it. The taproot is small and inside of the warehouse/ hoproom area. It is quaint and looks nice though. The staff is extremely friendly and there is a good variety of taps. This was my favorite brewery of all the breweries we visited while on vacation. My wife and I have been to over 100 breweries in our home state of NC so we have a standard. This brewery meets the standard!!

Quaint shopping center and eatery. Service was wonderful and attentive. We enjoyed the appetizers very much. My favorite appetizer was the pork belly buns, they come in two per plate. I ordered the spicy tuna poke bowl. It was a bit dry. My husband ordered the beef bento and thought it was ok too, not something he would order again.Parking: We got lucky to find a parking spot, but it was the only spot left in the whole center.

Shrimp and grits was excellent! I've always been a fan of local, home atmosphere places and all the boxes were checked here. Great staff with friendly greetings. Cool vibes from the decor and location. Wonderful shrimp and grits and a menu full of other entrees and eats which I'm sure are just as tasty. This place stays busy during the summer season so parking might be a challenge, but it's worth it!

An intimate setting with an outstanding chef curated meal paired perfectly with warm genuine service and fine wine.This hidden, low profile, 9 tables, family owned and operated personal dining experience should be on everyone's list when in the Grayton and Santa Rosa Beach area. There is a good reason they have been here for 30+ years.This was our second evening at Cafe Tango (2015 & 2023) and each time we've walked out the cottage door feeling like we had experienced a "once in a lifetime" moment.The lovely, delightful and humorous Anna Katherine took care of our every need. We enjoyed the melt-in-your-mouth Seafood Stuffed Peppers, the exceptionally prepared Dancing Fish which featured fresh Grouper and the Filet with Portobello (delicious and tender) elevated with a bottle of Pinot Grigio from Zenota Italy. Oh my... how I wish we had room for the Key Lime pie! We will be back! D&S
