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!!!

Blue Orleans should start a thread to announce the bands playing that week/night.

thanks for the tip--i've never eaten at Blue Orleans! I'll have to go there and check them out asap.... if anyone thinks of any others that might be under the radar, please let me know! i'm trying to build a list of local favs on my website (www.30A.com) ... i know it's all very subjective and there are a lot of great choices out there, but i really want to make an effort to give the "right people" some much-deserved business.... (just in case it matters to anyone, fyi, my site's a totally non-commercial venture...i do it just for fun)....

HowellUNCBeach CrabChapel Hill, North Carolina2 postsJoined View profileMessageBeach CrabHave you ever had Redneck Riviera Shrimp or a Grayton Beach Julep? In the late 60's and early 70's I was a fixture around the old graffiti painted store at Grayton Beach. Alas, after high school (Walton Sr., '72) I wandered off and got lost. Oh, I do visit from time to time. But when I'm not around my beloved beaches in the summer I fix myself some RR Shrimp and a cold GB Julep. Try 'em! :chill:[SIZE=+2]

While it's still not quite as good as it was in 2006, and they've raised prices a little bit, the new owners seem to have sorted out the transition problems they had, and the quality level is now back to where it's worth crossing the bridge for, and we're going to put it back on our regular dining rotation.

Hi Biff, they have been added to our menu starting a week from now...but if you request them I know the kitchen will fry you up some! They also come with the Sunset Martini Trio....Jumbo boiled shrimp, white lump crab, and fried crab claws!
We also do plates of fried shrimp, oysters, and soft shell crab!

JdargSoWal Expert18,040 postsJoined View profileMessageSoWal ExpertOK- heads up - COCO'S IS CLOSING. I asked the owner about a specific date, and he said "day by day". So sad- we love going to Coco's with the kids and other families. We were told that they just aren't making it, and the final straw was all the new chain restaurants going in up around Sandestin. Too much competition for the ever shrinking dining out dollar.
The owner also said he knew of several local INDEPENDENT restaurants that are not doing well and maybe closing right behind him. So if you like to frequent locally owned restaurants, now is the time. Apparently it wasn't the greatest summer and now we are into the off season. I hate to see the day where all we are left with is Applebee's, PF Changs, and Cheeseburger in Hell.
