seagrove market and cafe

[groveral]

coming down next week(yes!)....afraid to ask, is the cafe still open?

[Beach Runner]

Just called them. They won't close down, but will relocate after summer.

I just drove by it and was shocked by the fact that YOU CAN'T PARK IN FRONT OF IT ANYMORE! There are wooden posts in the ground on the street side of the bike path that we noticed for the first time in December.

[groveral]

thanks---I can satisfy my hush puppy fix!

[Beach Runner]

Really. I've said this on another thread, but my hairdresser (who owns 3 places in SoWal) stops by there on his way back to ATL so he has them to munch on back in GA.

... my hairdresser (who owns 3 places in SoWal) stops by there...

Do I take this to mean that the more properties you own in SoWal, the greater the craving for hush puppies?? :rolling:

Yo Picky! I don't own any property in SoWal, but I am a champion hushpuppy eater. (I need an oinky pig smilie!)

Where are they going to relocate to? I hope they don't loose their charm!

[Paige]

The Grouper sandwich is always my first purchase when I arrive in SoWal. That is our family's rendevous spot.

In order to make room for the Hotel Viridian at the intersection of County Roads 30A and 395 two long-time businesses will relocate.
Broker-agent Donna Crawford said Seagrove on the Beach Realty is moving temporarily into a doublewide trailer next to Yianni’s Seafood Grille on 30A. When the Viridian is complete, Crawford will have a spot in the first floor retail section of the complex.
George Hartley, owner of Seagrove Village Market, is in negotiations with Alys Beach for a permanent site, but retail spaces there are unavailable for up to two years. Hartley has his eye on a temporary location where he can serve up his famous grouper sandwiches at lunch and dinner.
Hartley also promises the restaurant will return in some form at its original location.

We were told when we were in there a couple of weeks ago that they are looking to relocate temporaily where the Wheel House use to be until the other gets ready.

That sounds great, but the Wheel House is currently for sale and missing pieces from the fire.

the addition of the posts is a great idea, imo, especially since they laid the asphalt spaces across the street, and the parking lot the corner. it was always a cluster pulling out of there.

jr...and since everyone was parking on the bike path, the post or some other measure were needed.

They look awful. Bikes and cars will be running into them. It looks like to me they put the bike path on the wrong side of the street. People coming in and out of the store will be dodging bikes and people will be getting hit by bikes.

I guess all of it will be gone soon.

I say all of this with a bit of light humor.;-)

The DOUBLE burger is a guarantee heart stopper, HOWEVER, worth all the pain it will create, Taste's wonderful! :clap_1: :clap_1:

[Tootsie]

the cafe is a unique place in sowal! how many places are there that are so casual and serve up seafood baskets and burgers? we could use a few more places like it... just a casual place with good basic food, not too expensive, and very family friendly. I do miss Nicks (Blue Mt Bch) for basic fried shrimp and awesome hush puppies.

[Amp22]

Yep - a shrimp and chicken box place would have them lined up out the door.

That's exactly what my husband and I were bemoaning this weekend. We've lost Wheelhouse (not that we ever went there, but it was cheap), Shades in Seaside, and possibly Seagrove Market Café all close by and relatively inexpensive. Saturday we thought about driving over to Shades on the Loop, but we were afraid we wouldn't get back in time for tip-off of the UF/KY game. So we decided to try to cheap out with the bar menu at Café 30-A. Well, the grouper on the old bar menu we had has gone from $12 to $17. We each ordered a salad and split a pizza. Since the wine was $7 a glass and up, we opted for a $29 bottle of wine (as cheap as 4 glasses of wine). Total bill: $77. NOT a cheap evening out. I adore Café 30-A, but from now on we'll only go if we're prepared to spend a boatload of money (and we might as well pay for the full meal deal).

Guess I need to get off my lazy butt, grill some fish or buy some steamed shrimp from Goatfeathers, and serve it with a bag salad, even if it means washing dishes and cleaning up the kitchen.

i'm sure that their looks was not of primary concern when they were put in, probably it was about safety. who's, i do not know. pedestrians? and, i seriously doubt people will be running into them, they are quite hard to miss, probably by design. while the former parking situation at the market was quaint and comfortable, who can honestly say they looked forward to parking over there during high season?

i too will miss the market and what it represents. there are not (m)any casual, affordable, walk in with sandy feet and wet suit places on 30a or elsewhere, left. and it will be quite hard to recreate in the lobby of the new hotel. but, i'm thinking the market has a life of at least 90 days left. nothing's going to happen over there until the bank ends up on the fire dept lot, and they're still scraping dirt there. let's enjoy it while we have it.

Can't say I relish "Plan B."

Recreate the $77 (sans generous tip) menu: Dominos Take-Out, a bottle of wine, and forget the salad...and forget the dishes!

That's pretty much what we've decided - Bruno's (SJ they've never been mean to me), a bottle of wine for $10, a bag salad, and dig out the good olive oil and balsamic vinegar from the owner's closet. That'd be about $30.

I don't mind cooking when we're here for a week. But when we're just down for a weekend, it's a pain to dig all of the staples and cleaning products out of the owner's closet, even if it is fairly well organized.

Drat! I am planning to create an owner's closet because I thought that would solve all my organization problems at the cottage... Oh well.

As for food (my favorite topic on this message board), I think there's an inexpensive place to get hot dogs in Grayton Beach. Given that so much food has gone upscale, I think there's a real opportunity for some entrepreneurs to have vending carts along 30A. Low over-head, can adjust easily to the seasons, and serve a real need (cheap food you can order while barefoot and with sandy feet). The oyster po boy sandwiches at the new Shades by the Loop are about $7.00 and excellent. Ok, it's time for a new thrad on cheap eats on 30A.

The latest I've heard is that the Seagrove Market may relocate to WaterColor Crossing where Publix is. Time will tell whether that happens and whether the move becomes permanent. Apparently the manager at Publix knows and is fine with it because the deli is not profitable.

[Sandie]

I'm confused! (nothing new)!! I'll be arriving April 10th--will the Market Cafe be open? or do I need to start crying now? It's a wonderful place and I can't imagine it being the same in the lobby of a new hotel. But, it's one that will never leave my list of places to eat--and it's top of the list for my friends who used to go to St. Augustine and now LOVE SoWal.

[Smiling JOe]

When the hotel is built, the Seagrove Market will supposedly move to another location. The restaurant in the hotel will be a fancy smancy place -- at least that is the message thru the grapevine.

[Amp22]

Last I heard the new location will be beside Publix. They will probably stay there, despite what they say.

If he keeps buying those hush puppies, he might tip over! :eek: Those things are fattening!

That sounds like lunch to me. :D

Watch for a new market/deli to open in Rosemary Beach in April.
I think the name is Wild Olives . Let us know how it is.

[Paula]

Great, Rita. That's near our part of 30A. So we'll be able to ride our bikes to the deli in no time. The businesses at Rosemary Beach have been slow in coming around. There are a few, but not a lot for families yet. I know there will be more eating places, shops, and outdoor activities in the future. Looking forward to trying an outdoor concert or movie there this year.
