49 Best Dog Friendly Restaurants Santa Rosa Beach

“Hands down one of the best lunches we’ve ever had. From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was warm, welcoming, and honestly intoxicating—in the best way. From the hostess to our server, the chef, and even the other diners, everyone was so friendly and made us feel right at home. The staff truly went above and beyond. The drinks were great, and the key lime shrimp is a 10/10—highly recommend. My husband had the fried snapper sandwich and it was amazing. I ordered the Fall Grouper, and I can’t even put into words how good it was. Perfect flavor, cooked flawlessly… I’ve been thinking about it since we left 😂 We shared our compliments with the staff, and Chef Caleb even came out to talk to us personally, which made the experience even more special. You don’t get service and food like this just anywhere—especially at lunch. We’ll absolutely be back!“

“Oh my goodness, this place is awesome! The beer assortment had something for everyone and the beers I
tried were absolutely fantastic.
I also would recommend trying one of their Chicago Style Hotdogs, delicious. What really stood out the most was the comfortable ambiance of the brewery, the dim lighting, the jazz playing in the background, just an all around terrific atmosphere! This place is a hidden gem!!!“

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

“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!“

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

“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 !!!!“

“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“

“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!!!!“

“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.“

“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“

“Amazing, delicious, under stated. Just a tiny hole in the wall resto, but wow! DELICIOUSLY FANTASTIC FOOD! Cheap but, really
really great food, don't let the location, next to gas station, stop u from going. Or the tiny insides. Looks r deceiving , eat here!!!!!“

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

“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.“

“The mac/cheese is the place best secret. It's amazing! But we also had the Shrimp dinner basket and a shrimp cocktail that was excellent as well. The firecracker cocktail sauce was excellent too. Take a walk in back to see the turtles.“

“If I could give this place 100 stars I would. The food was delicious and the atmosphere was amazing. I highly recommend them if you’re dining in Seaside.“

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

“My husband I booked a quick getaway anniversary trip to a bed and breakfast in Grayton Beach and ended up eating here our first night in town. It was soooo good! The beer cheese is seriously the best I’ve tasted and I love a good stout beer cheese. The beer cheese fries are a must try! They have a great atmosphere inside and Victoria was our waitress and she was excellent! Very attentive and helpful with answering our questions about the menu.“

“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!“

“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!)“

“Molly was our server/bartender. She was great! She gave us lots of recommendations of places to go. She was sweet & friendly. 💖 Tell her hi from The Berthas“

“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!“

“Maddie was our server and she was the sweetest! She was so friendly and attentive and made our experience even better. The food was amazing all around. The snapper piccata was so good, the sushi was amazing, and the crab rangoon dip was incredible. The shrimp was also delicious, and the drinks were very good.
Miguel did our tableside bananas foster and it was such a fun experience to watch. Everything tasted great and the presentation was awesome. Overall we had a wonderful time and would definitely come back!“

“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“

“Excellent breakfast spot with incredibly friendly and welcoming service.
We were really impressed —there are so many different options to choose from that go way beyond your standard breakfast.
​The square biscuits are massive and fluffy, and the indoor atmosphere is cool and casual. The portions are very generous and everything felt fresh. If you’re in the WaterColor area and looking for a place with great variety and a staff that makes you feel welcome, this is definitely the spot!“

“Ordering was a little awkward since you’re standing there reading the menu and trying to decide while everyone just kind of stares, without really offering recommendations. However, my husband and I ordered the dark chocolate frozen yogurt on a waffle cone and the salted caramel, and both were absolutely divine. You can tell the waffle cones are baked fresh. This is definitely my favorite dessert spot here, would come again!“

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

“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!“

“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“

“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.)“
