Hey Guys-My family and I are going to be in the area July 9-16. We are very excited about it but one of my downfalls is that I am a major planner!!!!!! I guess it is the school teacher in me-haheha Anyway, I have always found a board to check things out in whatever area we are visiting-One of my favorites has always been about FOOD!!!! Where the best is-what restaurants are famous for what? Price ranges and so on..... Is there anyone else who frequents this board interested in this kind of information-I am new-maybe there is already something like that here and I don't know about it. Anyway-thanks for all the great information so far!!!

This thread went from fav restaurants to "Fun people getting together to eat SJ's famous gumbo in the dreary month of October!' I'll bring the rice!

Drsvelte...I think this person is a diet doctor! Or maybe a whiz at liposuction!

Doctor, yes (PhD actually). But the svelte part comes from a long time ago obsession with triathlon which resulted in big weight loss and low body fat. Friends ( :blink: ) began calling me Dr. Svelte and I just used it as a internet username. Alas, I am a foodie at heart and the training and diet discipline slowly eroded over the years. Regrettably, I am now dr(notso)svelte. :(

We'll be here for some weekends in October. I can bring real Louisiana andouille for the pot :lol:

I cannot wait until winter!!

Why wait! I'm making a seafood gumbo tomorrow. Probably need to get a second mortgage for the jumbo lump crabmeat.

Here's a summary of what has been posted from 2/22 to 8/2. I only included restaurants in South Walton.

Let me know if you see any mistakes. I can enhance it - this is just a quick-and-dirty version.

Need to add Dusty's in PCB. Oyster lovers, and just good ol' funky fun to be had here! They have great happy hour specials on beer and oysters. 😀

I think Katie Blue has recommended this place as well.

We will have to hit Dusty's in Oct....we have never been! We went to PCB once years ago when it was raining and never went back. Well, except for Home Depot, Best Buy and the airport on occasion!

Nice 😀 . I would add three in Sandestin that I've been to numerous times.

Bistro Bijeau - excellent, highly recommend (Y) one of my favorites.
Finz - so-so food, but 2fer1 happy hour in the upstairs bar make for great views (M)
Marlin Grille - nice, but I like Bijeau better (M)

Also, my recommendation on Poppy's is really N. Its not that the food is bad, its just seriously overpriced.

I only included restaurants in South Walton County just to keep the list managable and because this is the SoWal message board. I suppose I could add in Destin and PC if that's what people want.

No, that's OK. Your list is great as is! Thanks for doing that. That's a good idea!

Is this better? Please let me know of any changes that I should make. I wasn't sure about the pricing codes.
