Thinking of opening a fast-casual restaurant by the Publix in Watercolor with counter service vs. waitstaff and reasonable prices (at least for this area!). Would love your opinion on what you think the area needs. Examples are Pizza, Mexican, Burgers, Chinese, etc. Thanks!

Seems like there is a great desire for a grilled cheese stand. Personally, I think the type of restaurant depends on the quality of the food. A great Chinese Chef does not necessarily make great pizzas.
Grilled cheese. :floor:
It looks like the Thai Cafe won't be re-opening, :( so Thai food is what I want. Finding a chef is the difficult part. Probably easier to do chinese.
Really good fried box takeouts would be a huge hit with the local work crowd and vacationers - seafood and chicken boxes, with one or two sandwhich offers. You'd be competing with Publix so yours would have to be better at not too much higher price.

GUARANTEED: if you open a California-style make-your-own burrito type place, it's a no-brainer. Everyone likes it, and there's no competition here for this. Chains such as Chipotle, Moe's Southwest Grill, etc. are the example, and they do incredible business wherever they open. You get to choose your meat (beef, chicken, etc), add any veggies you want (grilled onions, peppers, tomatoes, broccoli, olives, whatever) and cheese, then have it wrapped up in tortillas and grilled. Low overhead for you, and easy to take out for us---which would be excellent, being right next to the Publix.
Thai would be great too, but the burrito idea requires less money to get underway, because the decor can be basic and you don't need gourmet chefs to make it. Of course, if you can find a *good* Thai cook, go for that too!
Hope this sparks an idea for you....;) Kt

There is already a Moe's next to the Sandestin Publix. The same family owns a second Moe's next to Big Kahuna's in Destin. I believe they have the franchise rites for this area.
A place that sells great burgers and chicken sandwiches has my vote--something to take the place of the Seagrove Village Market because they are closing. You could also offer grilled cheese.
Chinese would be great too.

They also have one in Ft Walton. Funny thing is that Moe's had originally decided to go in next to Publix in WaterColor, but got scared, and backed out, before later deciding to go into Sandestin.

NOT kidding. What's wrong with fast food? It's fast, and it's food. To heck with trendy and hoity-toity tourist traps, we have plenty of those already. Sometimes I just want to grab a quick meal at the drive-thru for the kids. I just don't want to have to drive to Destin to do it. Nothing 'quick' about that.

I dont want a trendy and hoity-toity tourist trap either, but we definitely do not need another place that sells overly processed crap, like the franchises you mention. If you are in such a hurry to feed the kids, go back to Atlanta or wherever. My philosophy is, "relax, you're at the Beach."
I guess you also think that we need a Super Wal-ly-World conveniently located north of Grayton Beach, so that you can have cheap crapola in close proximity to your place.
Sure there are some conveniences sacrificed by not having the big franchises, but they exisit elsewhere, and unfortunately, they will be here too in the near future. I think it is a shame that we cannot try to escape from our comfort zone, even for a week or two at a time. Why not try something different for a change. Maybe you will open your child's eyes to a new world.

No need to applogize for the things you believe to be true. So many people need the instant fix to keep the kids from yelling and screaming. Reminder-- They are just kids! Kids are supposed to do that stuff. No need to shove a DVD in the player, or a Cheeseburger, Fries, and Sundae in their mouths.

I vote for fast food that's healthy. Rice dishes, wraps, salads, sandwiches. Market good food as a healthy alternative and you'll have a built-in market. Like the Organic Cafe was in Blue Mountain. Make picnic specials for families going on or coming off the beach.

Not just a restaurants but a great market for prepared take out foods. Great pies, ribs, and honey ham to die for. Whole Food Market. www.wholefoods.com. Think of Whole Foods as a super deli with prepared foods. At least you could enjoy the beach and not have to cook. Then at least my Lab would have a little room in the SUV on the return trips from Atlanta. My wife packs so much from this market there is not enough room in the SUV for me or the poor dog. At least it would give Publix some competition. Go to their web site and request a store in our location along 30A. And my dogs says thanks.

I definitely think that whatever you do, it should be easy to eat on the beach and you could have distinctive boxes to put the meals in and carry to the beach (great for marketing -- e.g., red and white checked, green and white checked, etc.). Ideally food you can easily eat at the beach but wouldn't bother cooking yourself. Something people who visit would consider a tradition to get (e.g. we've only been visiting the area for 2 years and we already have the traditions of going to Seagrove village market for fried oysters, going to Angelina's for their lunchtime weekday special, going to the Red Bar -- they are must do's on every trip because we enjoy them and the kids see them as must-do traditions -- they take pride in showing friends who travel with us these places that are special traditions to them).
I could see families enjoying a take-out or eat-in fried chicken tradition with corn muffins, and other things that are special, hard to make, homey, easy to eat in or eat at the beach, and could be made with special recipes and packaging that stand out.
I'm getting hungry...

Great point, Paula. People do establish traditions here. Imagine if people set the tradition of going to McDonald's when they come to the Beach. (Bad Habits are hard to break). I must have a super-size french fry, Coke, and a 1/4 #er with plastic cheese. They just are not the same back in Atlanta.

For me, the thing about good traditions is that they are different from what we can do often (if we do it often, I think it's a routine or habit), and there's usually a nostalgia and romance about traditions (which McDonald's lacks).
Hey, I'm Italian and am romantic about traditions. The fried oysters at Seagrove market can bring tears to my eyes in part because they're so good and in part because it's a tradition to be shared only when we're at the beach with good friends and family. I think I'd feel the same way about really good fried chicken (which I wouldn't eat at home on a regular basis because it's hard to cook) and a simple and pretty picnic box that my family, friends, and I could take to the beach.

I know what you mean about living within 5 minutes of all the fast food joints. I live in Nashville, 3 miles from downtown. I cant blink without seeing all of the crappy grease pits and overpriced "status stores" catering to the rich (that was a bit off topic!). Thank God there are a million little hole in the wall places that actually cook good food for you at a cheap price or I'd weigh 500 lbs.
I love the idea of a choose your own adventure burrito! Burrito's are a staple of my house. Whenever me and the housemates run out someone has to run to the store and buy a 10 pack of frozen burritos. (had 2 for dinner last night)
Im a big fan of the fresh made sandwich or burger served to you by someone who enjoys working there who knows your name and makes the sandwich just right, not thrown together. You gotta have a porch to sit on and a decent bottled beer menu also. ;) Ok... I guess I should get some of this paperwork off my desk. Gotta love being at work!

I saw a similar pub in a movie once. They seemed to have a brisk business. Carrol O'Conner was the Irish half. They played alot of Dean Martin music. Irish/Italian could work. (Great movie anyway!)

I'd kinda like healthy too but not granola and sea weed. There's a place I loved in Tampa Bay called "The Dish" and I always thought it would go great here.
Basically it's a "you create your own dish" kinda place. There's several bars with different raw components on them: One with meats and seafood, one with lots and lots of different veggies and one with sauces. You fill your plate with your selections and take it over to be stir fried all together at a central grill. You can go back to the grill as much as you want with as many combos as you like so you can eat healthy and just veggies if you want.
Also, would love a little crepe vendor in one of these little villages like they've got on the streets in paris for 2F each. MMMMMM
