23 Best American Restaurants near Watersound

“Good stuff! Fun atmosphere.“

“We went for a girls night. The venue is pretty loud so just know that if you are seated upstairs and maybe ask for a downstairs table. The food is very good and service was exceptional. We had one dinner miso Eder and the server was so apologetic and the chef made it right very promptly. There is a wide variety of seafood entrees and each looked delicious and well prepared. I took a few picks of the ordered entrees at our table. I would dine here again.“

“An absolute institution in Grayton Beach; the decor is eclectic and fun. The food is great; the drinks are even better! Can get super-busy, but the staff does a great job. Parking is basically non-existent, so bikes are great, or you can do the park and ride jeeps to the beach from the remote lot off 30A. Best Smoked Tuna dip anywhere, and don't forget to ask for the Geau Jeux to go on top!“

“Delicious donuts, fantastic breakfast food, and great staff!I've been coming here for years and it's delicious every time!If you go, you have to get yourself a box (maybe 2) of donuts.Every single donut is fantastic. They have a creat variety of cream filled donuts with wonderful flavors.The staff is friendly and the service is fast.It's one of the best places to get donuts - and I'm a donut aficionado.“

“The food here is absolutely phenomenal! And so is the service!“

“Excellent service to match an extraordinary menu. Everything perfectly cooked and presented.“

“So once I found this place last year, I immediately loved it. My last visit there, it took a step back. It’s still a good place to go but it’s not as good as it used to be. The service wasn’t as friendly as it used to be. It took awhile before our waitress even came over to take our order. Another table was even helped before us even though we were there first.The menu changed as well. This place is know for its big and unique pancakes, or maybe should I say was. They still have some good unique pancakes, but they reduced a big part of what they used to offer. They no longer serve any peanut butter product here, and one of my favorite pancakes had peanut butter on it. Most of the food was good that we ordered except for the side scrambled eggs I ordered. The best way to describe them is as grainy. The Cinnamon Roll French Toast was great though.I usually drive about 50 mins to come out here for the food, and I probably still will, but not as often.“

“My wife and I travel from Kansas City every few years to the 30A area. This is a must stop for us! The food is incredible! The service is outstanding! The atmosphere is perfection! Special shoutout to the hostess Kinley who made it extra special for us! Really appreciate how professional the staff is. Who will go out of their way to make it a special experience for you. One of my all-time favorite restaurants. Thank you as always!“

“My mom has recovered from mouth cancer and can only tolerate liquid.They blended the bisque soup so my mom was able to enjoy a real meal out vs formula in her feeding tube at home.A real extra step to make a person feel normal!!!! thank you so much for a great meal with my mom!!!!“

“I just want to say that Ms. Tabby, the owner, and all of the staff family are AMAZING!!! We were welcomed with open arms and the hospitality was endless! Everyone went above and beyond to make sure that we felt at home and had everything we needed. We joined our Grayton Seafood Co. family twice while on our trip and the food was excellent! We couldn’t get enough of the calamari and crab claws. Both outside and indoor seating was great; we had the opportunity to hit the dance floor with Chevy and listen to some great music after our WONDERFUL bread pudding and chocolate cake…Please visit this lovely establishment, it will make your trip 1000x better!- Love, Kennedy and Family“

“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.“

“**Wild Olives 30A** enchanted us with its sophisticated ambiance and exceptional cuisine. Absinthe Minded (an absinthe cocktail) was a great start, while the Mezze platter offered a delightful array of flavors - the warmed olives were a nice touch! The mushroom ravioli stood out with its flavorful umami broth. Our server Megan's friendliness and attentiveness added to the charm. Their attached wine room's unique selection impressed us, diverging from the typical 30A offerings. Overall, Wild Olives 30A delivered an unforgettable dining experience that combined creativity with tradition, leaving us eager to return.“

“Had a great dinner at The Citizen while visiting Alys Beach in January for a business trip. The space and host team were welcoming and we were seated quickly. Our server, Lee, was very friendly, professional, and prompt. Our waters were frequently refilled and all team members were polite and friendly. We tried the east coast oysters, which were very good and well presented. I tried the squid ink bucatini with shrimp, which was good. My colleague tried the curried butternut squash with chicken and she said it was delicious and the chicken was well prepared. I would highly recommend this spot for an excellent meal and experience.“

“Taylor and Ava were so helpful! They made sure I got the exact kind of coffee I wanted. They explained the menu well and took their time with me. I cannot express how great the experience here was. The staff here was upbeat and caring. I will definitely make this my new coffee spot in town.“

“Our family loves the Perfect Pig at the Gulf Place location! My husband and I are locals and often meet a group of our neighbors there for happy hour. You can’t go wrong with the pig nachos and the perfect margarita! Our favorite bartender is Javier. He’s always there with a smile and genuine desire to ensure we all have a great experience. We’ll definitely be back.“

“I would rate this a 10/5 if I could it was that good. The flavors were impeccably balanced and the cocktails were perfect! The service was attentive and so kind. The atmosphere was amazing. I would recommend to anyone for the best dinner you can get in the area!!“

“Good coffee. I take decaf and theirs was tasty. You can get pastries here. I got a cheese danish and a ham and cheese croissants. Both were served warm. They both tasted fresh. There is room to sit here and enjoy your coffee or work. Service is quick.“

“My husband and I came here for a date night while on vacation and it was definitely the best meal out we had here. Vera, our waitress, was an absolute angel and so sweet, warm, and attentive. We had the grouper nuggets, popcorn shrimp and fried shrimp, along with the key lime pie. All was delicious! We will definitely be back on our next trip to town. Highly recommend!“

“Meltdown is a tasty spot in one of the Airstream food trailers along 30A in picture-perfect Seaside, FL. The atmosphere is top notch. Nothing beats looking out over the ocean as you chow down on a comforting grilled cheese.You order at the window and then await the gooey, melty goodness. I got the Five Cheese and it did not disappoint. Crunchy grilled bread and five kinds of cheese making a statement.Nice stop for a bite along 30A.Parking: Parking is tricky. Ride your bike or walk“

“Unique local spot. No strangers here....you sit with friends and everyone is a friend you haven't met yet. They were taking names to seat people, although n older couple snuck in when the waitress was paying attention. She cordially let them stay. Veggie omelet and cheesy grits were delicious. Biscuit and a side of sausage were well received by the daughter who doesn't like breakfast. Cash or check only.“

“The atmosphere was very plesent, the food was great loved the shrimp and the service was prompt and fast plenty of seating and parking was good and the gentleman behind the register where we ordered was very friendly and nice I will definitely be going back there when I come down on my next vacation from Minnesota thank “
