What are some good things to do around here? We are staying on Santa Rosa beach. Looking for some good restaurants and places to go. #NotABaller

I would avoid George’s restaurant at Alys beach at all costs. Food was bland and overpriced. Also was the most pretentious group of patrons and waitstaff I’ve ever been around.

If you like pizza, try Bruno’s. Also, the Chanticleer eatery is very good.

Local Catch restaurant in Santa Rosa beach.

The food is good and it's not overpriced.

A few hours in Seaside is fun if you’ve never been. Pretty jam packed this time of year, but they have interesting little shops and if you are on a budget, lunch at the food trailers is not bad. Brunch at Bud and Ally’s is always nice.

Whiskey Bravo and Cafe 30a are also good options, as is the Old Florida Fish House.

Most everything is expensive down there. I like Chiringo's in Grayton across from the burned down Red Bar. Good, fresh casual food that is affordable. Most of the time we go to one of the 2 Goatfeather Seafood Markets & get fresh, steamed shrimp & fish & take it back to the condo. I still like the original Stinky's.

Stinky's is right there in Santa Rosa and used to be good. Haven't been in years.

The fried grouper sandwich for lunch at Seagrove Village Market was always a must, but I haven't been since they moved to a new location.

George's in Alys also used to be really good.

Everything else down there was overrated and/or overpriced.

Bruno's Pizza has a decent lunch buffet during the week if you want pizza.

Buddy’s market is great for steamed shrimp.

Go to the dune lake inlet in Grayton for a sunset.

Rent paddle boards in the back of watercolor...can get to Grayton from there.

Go off-roading off 98.

Modica market.

Sundog bookstore and record shop upstairs.

Taco shack in seaside.

Go down to the beach access in Dune Allen, instead of the big one at SR.

Stinky’s.

Getting ice cream with the family at Blue Mountain Beach Creamy is recommended.

New place called Shunk Gulley in Santa Rosa has a great upstairs patio with gulf views and the food is actually pretty good. Also has an oyster bar. Pretty hard to beat.

I second Great Southern Cafe in Seaside too. Oysters + their homemade hot sauce is delicious.

The food trucks in Seaside are surprisingly good. And, there are several restaurants around there - Bud and Alley's is nice, but there are more casual ones around there.
