Maybe I'm WAY off track, but I thought East Hewitt was just past where 30A meets 98 near the Subway/gas station... :idontno:

East Hewitt is indeed just west of the 30A/98 Intersection with the Subway gas station. So as soon as you come off 30A take a right onto East Hewitt or from 98 once you pass 30A turn right. It's towards the Bay and will be on your left.

Last night they had .49 cent cup of Gumbo, not sure if it was a Friday night thing or just a promotion for awhile.

We stopped by The Love Shack this afternoon to check it out. Contrary to what I thought we'd find, we found a very nice building in the Eagle Bay community that has been turned into a restaurant. It kind of looks like it was originally the community clubhouse (there's an attached pool) Lots of Gaffrey art on the walls. Didn't eat anything, but the menu looks very reasonable. On Friday nights they have all you can eat fried flounder or fried clam strips for $9.99. Sandwiches ranged from $6.99 for a shirmp po boy to $8.99 for and oyster po boy. Broiled seafood dinners were between $11 and $13. Fried baskets were $8-13.

This place is the hang out for summer.
Went last night had a great time, the best part was we could afford it.
Great menu, groovy set up, kick back atmosphere.

The prices and selections on the menu were unbelieveable.

Brand new restaurant with Joe Elmore and the Grafferys art work on the walls.
Two bars one inside and a huge tiki bar outside.

This is a great setup for those looking for a fun time.

Congrats LoVe ShaCk! :clap:

The ad says open at 4PM. 850-267-0399

If the tin roof is not rusted I will be disappointed.

I'm afraid you'll be disappointed then! It's a pretty nice looking place.

Sent the Mrs., her mom, and my mom there tonight as I'm stuck in Atlanta. They said it was outstanding. Mrs. Singinchicken had bronzed shrimp and said they were great!

Love Shack SOWAL

I live in Eagle Bay. The resturant and pool is open to the public from 4:00 - 11:00 (working on staying open later we hope). From 10:00 - 4:00 just the pool is open to residence. The food is great and inexpensive with a great staff and cool ambience both inside and out.

Does this mean we (a non-resident) can eat dinner out by the pool and when the kids are done eating they can go swimming while we finish our dinner? If so, we're trying this place out very soon!

Mixed review!

The restaurant/pool is very nice - totally not what I was expecting - tall ceilings, natural wood walls that still smell like fresh cedar and show off the selection of local art, stained concrete floors, new furniture that is comfy to sit in, and the staff is very friendly and well trained, but awful food/kitchen timing.

I thought maybe I was just being picky, but then my dinner companion's entree was not very good either and still raw in places! To their credit, a more senior waitstaff/manager was quickly sent to check it out and offered to cook it more and they also gave us a discount to apologize. Very well handled.

They need a bigger beer selection and some major recipe tweaking IMO, but it's a good kid friendly restaurant, just some kitchen kinks and that could have just been an off night/different taste buds on different folks issue.

I really liked their gumbo - light on okra (my nemesis) and lots of shrimp and a whole oyster, but my entree was so nasty I didn't even eat half and can't get the taste out of my mouth after Listerine and a piece of cheesecake! :roll:

The outdoor bar area should quickly become a local's fave hangout and it's hard to beat the $1.99 half dozen raw oysters and $.49 cup of gumbo.

They also get major points for having a cheeseburger that costs less than $8 and NOT charging extra for cheese.

owner

I did find out the owner is the same person/group as the Crab Trap. I asked a waiter when I was in there.
