“I have been going here since I was a kid back in the 90s. The atmosphere, live music, and of course the food have always been top notch. After it burned down a few years back, I wasn’t sure how the new place was going to compare, but they quite literally built it back to the exact same specifications and all of the decorations feel like the original. We try to eat here at least once every time we come and stay along 30-A.

Parking: Parking is free but you have to park north of 30-A and there is a shuttle that runs down to the restaurant/beach area.“

“Stopped in for a drink and some oysters and found the restaurant quite charming. It was a nice afternoon and there is plenty of shady, covered outdoor as well as lots of indoor seating. Service was a little slow but at least two different servers checked on us.
Staff was friendly and knowledgable. The raw oysters tasted good but were not fresh shucked. I would recommend the grilled oysters they were delicious. Prices were good and overall just the atmosphere is worth a stop at this cool place.
Stopped in for lunch another day and the grouper sandwich was good but the service was, well not as good and it seemed to take way too long for a grouper sandwich. But it was cooked perfectly and delish. Definitely be going back, recommend sitting outside.

NEAT Tasting Room & Bottle Shop Bar • $$

“I have visited Neat many times on various trips to 30a. However, their service during my most recent visit was something I won’t forget! This time, we visited Neat with our 5 month old on the Fourth of July. The staff went above and beyond to provide what we needed to warm his bottle, and even let us sit inside with him during the firework show, despite the fact that they had closed for the night. Great drinks, apps, service, and staff!“

“We were in town for Christmas and stumbled upon The Old Beach Bar while looking for a place to see the sunset. Right across from the street gives it an amazing view of the water, as well as a small lake in the back. The drinks were fairly priced, the bartenders were very friendly, and the fellow customers were great. There’s pool, darts, karaoke, and even a small dance floor. It felt like we’d been going to this bar our entire lives, as if everyone around was family. Highly recommend stopping in, and we will be back every time we’re in town!“

“My husband and I discovered our new favorite restaurant on 30A! We cannot say enough good things about Borago — but if it means anything, we went TWICE for dinner during our week stay in the area. I’m vegetarian and I had a very easy time finding things I could eat. Hands down the best Italian restaurant we’ve ever been to. The food is delicious and the service is top notch. Another great bonus is they take reservations, which we took advantage of both of the times we went. We will definitely be visiting again next time we come down.“

“I typically find that a location's Google rating is inflated, but that's definitely not the case for Pickle's, at least from our experience. We visited on a weekday in December, few other people there, and sat at The Sandbar. Calvin, the bartender, took care and time in giving us suggestions and just chatting about life, the area, traveling, and more - he made us feel welcomed and he was genuinely interested in getting to know us. We didn't have any of their drinks, but the food was stellar -- we tried the Smash Burger and Mac Attack Burger, alongside some Sweet Heat Wings -- all at Calvin's suggestion. It was all a winner.

Overall, we had a fantastic experience at Pickle's and truly can't comprehend a 3.5 rating for this place, when a 4.3-4.5 is certainly more accurate.“
