50 Best Dog Friendly Restaurants Santa Rosa Beach

“My husband and I just finished dinner, and our server, Maddie C, was absolutely fantastic! We found out at the end of our meal that she’s new, which made us even more impressed. Her food recommendations were spot on, and her table-side manner was outstanding—friendly, attentive, and genuine. The food was amazing, and Maddie truly made our dining experience exceptional. We’ll definitely be back because of her and the wonderful meal. We are locals and this was our first time here! Thank you for hiring such a great server!“

“Best Grouper in all of 30a Fried and Blackened and the sides were great we ate there 5 times in the week we were there Definitely worth the wait and the Staff is super Cool A must try“

“I met a trusted friend for lunch at Shunk Gulley yesterday. Always enjoy seeing the best manager on the beach, Leah doing her magic at this restaurant. They were busy and we left in an awesome downpour. Service was exemplary. Food, always good. Lucky are the employees to work for Leah. Namaste“

“Best Falafel salad I ever had.“

“Went to Nigels for the first time - was passing it in Seaside and could not resist. I think this will be a weekly trip!!!!!! The dipped ice-cream bar was so GOOD!!!!“

“Ya'll this is the best guesthouse/B&B type place on 30a. The location is amazing, the rooms and backyard garden are beautiful - and now they have Raw & Juicy doing the food! If you haven't been to Raw & Juicy check it out for fresh, healthy food options - at Hibiscus or at their other locations. Hibiscus Guesthouse has been a sponsor of our local educational outreach program for almost 10 years, donating time, space, and materials for our volunteers. These are good people. The Longleaf Writers Conference loves Hibiscus Guesthouse!“

“Great way to spend an afternoon. Meet new friends and celebrate with old friends. Absolutely the best beer on tap!“

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

“Great place! We stopped in for a first time visit and were very impressed! They have a great selection of beers, including sours, ciders, and even some wines. Menu included light bites (hot dogs were amazing). Outdoor seating as well. Highly recommend!“

“BRING BACK THE SEAFOOD ENCHILADAS!!!!!!! We drove 5.5 hrs straight to #Hobag in hopes of having the enchiladas. We were very disappointed to find they were no longer on the menu. The food we did order was good but nothing compares to the enchiladas!!! Bring them BACK !!!!“

“The food was great very well seasoned and absolutely delicious. We had amazing service everyone was so kind! Dan was our server and he was wonderful and great with our 3 kids“

“Best Italian food in the area!“

“Pazzo was recommended by Trish at the front desk of Embassy Suites and BOY are we glad she did. We didn’t make reservations (but should have) and had to sit at the pizza bar but it was perfect. It was warm and toasty on a bitterly cold night. My husband had the chicken parm and his only complaint was that there wasn’t enough chicken. My kid ordered off the adult menu and got ravioli with pesto and marinara and gave it FIVE BOOMS! I am not into pasta so I ordered the mussels and a Caesar salad and both were delicious. I highly recommend this as a spot to hit when in the Destin area.“

“Great Food and Service! Fried shrimp with tartar sauce...yummy! Tartar sauce was similar to remoulade sauce. Bread pudding was also very yummy! Atmosphere was nice, cool inside, and overlooked water.“

“The bartenders are the best, friendly and helpful just outstanding. I go there often since I live close by I’m a local. And never had a bad time“

“It's not the prettiest place but the best biscuits in town by far! I go here for the veggies too! Easy, in and out, food to go or you can dine in though it's a lot of our construction crews here eating on the way to work, at break or for their lunch.

Vegetarian options: Limited.

Parking: Limited, in front and on the right side. This cafe is in an older gas station strip mall.“

“this is one of the best wine shops I have been to. I was looking for a special wine and I asked if they would get it. With in a week they called and told me to come get it. There prices are amazing also“

“Amazing food as always. Christy was our server and she was very tentative and sweet. We look forward to returning very soon!!“

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

“It was our first time going, and we weren’t sure what to expect, but as we were pulling in the parking lot, a man rolled down his window and told us the food was awesome and to try the pork chops. We tried the simple starter. Bread, oil, and herbs. Simple but flavorful! Highly recommend I had the side summer salad and Krioyo pasta. The salad, no joke, was amazing. Full of color and flavor, might be the best salad I’ve ever eaten. The pasta was a generous serving, creamy and spicy with sausage and shrimp, full of flavor! My husband had the pork chops, cheese grits, and fries (I wish he got the collards instead of the fries, but it *was* his meal, so…). The cheese grits were a delicious surprise to me. So, so, so good. If we go back, I’m definitely ordering them (and the collards). The pork chops were, true to our parking lot critic’s word, awesome. I will definitely return. The atmosphere was laid back and wonderful, the food delicious, and the team members were fantastic. 10 out of 10 recommend! I’ve included pictures in the comments, because I love real life pics of food!“

“The food was great the Cinnamon rolls were delicious and the Steak burrito was great!! Will definitely be back“

“We visited from Texas last week & I am still thinking about this coffee I had days later! I wish I could just pack them up and take them with me! The coconut cream cold brew was phenomenal! If you think you want the 16oz, nope… get the largest size they have! The atmosphere was inviting and relaxing! The baked goods were fresh & delish! The staff are friendly & helpful! Can’t wait to return for our next family vacay soon! 100% Recommend!“

“The 87 Central team handled the reception for our Seaside Prize weekend. What an elegant evening in the heart of Seaside. Thank you, Jim Shirley and team for making this night extra special.“

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

“We have been coming to Basmati's for over 20 years! As locals here on 30-A we have not found any other restaurant that compares to them! We usually eat our same favorites Asparagus/Crab soup, House Salad and Firecracker Grouper!!! Owners are always present working alongside their servers to make sure we have the best experience! Last night was husband's birthday and the Chocolate /Oreo Crust dessert with Asian Red vanilla bean ice cream topped it off! Great food, great atmosphere! (My birthday is in a few weeks!)“

“I never do reviews, but this little bar & grill was awesome! The food was the best I’ve had in 30a. I’ve driven by it numerous times but we stopped today and so glad we did. Grilled shrimp tacos and the jalapeño margarita were wonderful. The service was top notch too!!“

“Biden gem in the Grayton Beach shops…Happy Hour Ousters 4-6 and discounted wines by the glass or bottle… they change varieties regularly…staff is so friendly…daily entree specials never disappoint…awesome vibe and atmosphere…highly recommend“

“Absolutely AMAZING! The food was fantastic and the service was Awesome! Tyrese was the best server! We will definitely be back!!“

“Hands down the best restaurant on 30A! The new menu is amazing! The fajitas are delicious! Five Stars🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟“

“A bit pricey and longer lines, but this is a tourist location. What can you expect? The staff were very nice when I went this morning. Just have a little empathy when they are exhausted after serving a line of 20 people for 3 hours straight. If they seem overwhelmed then come back in the morning when they are less busy. Trust me, everyone will be happier this way.

Update: I've been going here twice a day all week. They have successfully gotten me addicted to fudge. If I had one of these back at home I would have diabetes by now.“

“Oh my goodness! I’m gluten free so I ordered the gluten free apple pie.. it was served piping hot and was SOO delicious! I’m going back for another one today!!

Dietary restrictions: Yes they have gluten free and I’m dairy free as well, so I asked them to leave off the cream and use a dairy free crepe! They will customize your order. That is the sign of homemade food by professionals!“

“The cinnamon rolls are real life !!“

“Amazing service! The whole team was so kind and very complementary to the guests! Bailey checked us out and she was so sweet and genuine. We got the Butterfinger ice cream and it was absolutely divine! We also recommend the cookie sandwich!“

“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.“

“Great location. Good food!“

“Had a great time watching the Thursday night Steelers vs Bengals game. The owner is a huge Steelers fan and the bar draws many of the Steelers faithful on game-day. Food was good, I had the blackened grouper sandwich with tots, great for bar food. Very enjoyable experience“
