Since it's often nice to eat at home but not cook, I thought it would be useful to get a list of restaurants/delis that deliver. I know Bruno's pizza does. What are other places that deliver?

Thanks.

I think you listed the only one.
However, a few Sandestin restaurants will deliver to the west end of 30-A;

Thanks. How about the Seacrest area? Any places at Seagrove deliver (since they're pretty close to Seacrest)?

Paula,

While only Bruno's delivers to the Seacrest area, we do have a several new restaurants open at the Village of South Walton next to Seacrest. There is a Boar's Head deli, coffee shop, and a Carvel ice cream shop. There is also "Seacrest Cafe" which I know nothing about except that it is open. The Irish Pub should be opening in the next month or so. The new Shades East is also open at the intersection of 98 & 30A. All of these restaurants have take-out available and the drive is much closer than Seagrove.

Glad I read your post CCK I was about to ask about those very restaurants. Thanks for the info!

Thanks for the info. Does anyone know what's at Rosemary Beach that's good for easy fully-cooked take-out -- not too expensive and good for families?

Or any favorite fully-cooked take-out food from Publix that's really good?

I'm already planning my dining with the family for mid-July. Don't mind going out for a few pricey meals but mostly want to get take-out/delivery for dinner at the cottage or the beach.

At Rosemary there is a great little place called Carpenter's Market. It is in the courtyard next to the Sugar Shak. Carpenter's is strictly a take out place with very reasonable prices and shorter lines than Summer Kitchen. It is open for breakfast and lunch, I'm not sure about summer hours for dinner. You can eat your food at the tables on the courtyard, at the park or beach, or take it home.

What is great about Carpenters is that their menu varies daily and it is all homemade. They also sell a limited variety of gourmet food items, canned goods, imported olive oils, produces, and band aids. It is sort of a mini Modica Market (very mini).

They did some catering during the holidays (you could buy a prepared Thanksgiving meal from them), but I don't know the extent of what they do during the summer.

Publix--we love getting the Rotisserie chicken. Their red potato salad is pretty good too. They also have made-to-order subs from the deli. They have pretty good desserts too--cakes and pies.

If you know someone that can cook great Chinese food. I would think the area at the new Publix at 395 would be great location for Chinese Take-Out.

That would be a good spot. The former Thai Cafe in Grayton Beach is available and all set up for Asian, or Mexican would be good also.

Kurt- Sent two people over to look at the Grayton location.

Trying to get PF Changs to open here.

:cool:

Never seen one. From their website they look pretty upscale, and the menu looks good. I would think they'd want a big place on 98.

The PF Chang's I was in was a giant building. I'm not sure it could do high enough volume year-round in Walton County to justify construction. It would probably work out better in Destin where Bonefish, Outback, etc. seem to have lines out the door even in November.

There is a need for restaurants in SoWal now.

... and to have restaurants, we need housing for staff.

True dat.

Affordable housing in SoWal is 25 people in a single wide (which will soon be rolling out).

I see a low income housing boom in DeFuniak coming.

I think you are correct, but I think those folks will be servicing the upcoming numerous Freeport businesses. Did you think the SoWal tourists would ever be saying, "Let's drive up to Freeport to eat dinner."? They may be saying those words in the near future.

But I bet the tips will be better in SoWal. :wink:

Perhaps, but at $25+/sf, triple net in SoWal, I bet most people opening restaurants may look for cheaper rent in Freeport. In the future, Freeport will definitely have the population to support such establishments.

Also, not everyone is willing to drive 1.5 hours round trip per day to wait tables.

I'm thinking that a lot of big restaurants will be moving in on 98, and that a 4-laned 331 will move people back and forth all hours.

But no doubt a lot of restaurants will be on the 331 corridor also. We've got a lot of higher-priced golf course communities coming into Freeport which will fill up with retirees and such.

Maybe there will also be a lot of townhouses and apartments up there that are semi-affordable. Not to mention the affordable housing planned for east Freeport.

Look how much has changed within the past 4 years. The big restaurants will be coming to SoWal soon as the "Son of 98" and 331 is 4 laned. PF Changs would be a good fit in the Sandestin area on 98. Maybe in Grand BLvd. Our full-time population has increased and will continue as more baby boomers start retiring here justifying more of these big chain restaurants. The real estate people at Publix are smart. Get in early!

SJ is correct Freeport will continue to grow. And will be the next Niceville. Some of us now drive the 20 minutes to Freeport to eat at Nick's on the bay.

I just imagine the same type layout as Luna Del Mar. Last time I ordered their mediocre takeout I saw not one server older than 23-25 years in the place.

Please! Let's not beg for tacky chain restaurants. Can't you get that at home? The lack of this type of eating establishment is an important factor in attracting me to 30-A. I live in a town where all that is available is chain food. If you are what you eat, I'd be junk if I relied on eating out in my town. If you want something simple to eat, for dinner just pick up steamed shrimp at Goatfeathers and get a prewashed salad and corn to boil from Publix. Or for lunch boil a hot dog and serve it with chips, salsa, and Gordo's cheese dip from Publix. Much better that wishing to poo-poo on 30-A with an array of chain restaurants. IMHO.

I agree. No chains, please. But good take-out food that supports small business owners would be more than fine for me. We get take out premade shrimp as well at the local seafood markets and put it on pasta. We also buy premade crab cake in bulk and fry it up at home.

I don't remember the name of the market, but it was in Seagrove and had a small parking lot across the street. It wasn't Seagrove market, but I think it had "Seagrove" in its name. It was a small white kind-of-shack-like building that sold fish. The crab cakes were wonderful. You may be able to find the pre-made crab cakes at other seafood markets as well.

It is closed and is now "Seagrove Icehouse" - bike and boat rentals from the owner of Yellow Fin Ocean Sports of Grayton Corners and Ono Surf in Seaside.
