48 Best American Restaurants near Inlet Beach

“So once I found this place last year, I immediately loved it. My last visit there, it took a step back. It’s still a good place to go but it’s not as good as it used to be. The service wasn’t as friendly as it used to be. It took awhile before our waitress even came over to take our order. Another table was even helped before us even though we were there first.The menu changed as well. This place is know for its big and unique pancakes, or maybe should I say was. They still have some good unique pancakes, but they reduced a big part of what they used to offer. They no longer serve any peanut butter product here, and one of my favorite pancakes had peanut butter on it. Most of the food was good that we ordered except for the side scrambled eggs I ordered. The best way to describe them is as grainy. The Cinnamon Roll French Toast was great though.I usually drive about 50 mins to come out here for the food, and I probably still will, but not as often.“

“Delicious donuts, fantastic breakfast food, and great staff!I've been coming here for years and it's delicious every time!If you go, you have to get yourself a box (maybe 2) of donuts.Every single donut is fantastic. They have a creat variety of cream filled donuts with wonderful flavors.The staff is friendly and the service is fast.It's one of the best places to get donuts - and I'm a donut aficionado.“

“Tim the owner stole from me and added on a tip that was not authorized.“

“Was wonderful . The food and service !“

“As a local, Cafe 30A is in my top 2 best restaurants on 30A! I have never been disappointed in the food, service or atmosphere. It’s our go to for a special occasion evening. It has a beautiful setting and my husband always says “this is the best dinner I’ve ever had… no matter what I choose from the menu! ”. Do yourself a favor and dine in. It’s a special experience!“

“Excellent service to match an extraordinary menu. Everything perfectly cooked and presented.“

“I absolutely loved going to the All American Diner a couple of times for breakfast during my stay in PCB. Our waitresses (Denise & Rebecca) were the sweetest and most welcoming women. I thoroughly enjoyed the breakfast buffet that always kept me full for hours and my niece enjoyed a milkshake at 8am as well. ? I will have to come by again when we come back to visit, so don’t go changing too much!“

“The food here is absolutely phenomenal! And so is the service!“

“Best crab house in Destin!! Been coming for years!“

“My wife and I travel from Kansas City every few years to the 30A area. This is a must stop for us! The food is incredible! The service is outstanding! The atmosphere is perfection! Special shoutout to the hostess Kinley who made it extra special for us! Really appreciate how professional the staff is. Who will go out of their way to make it a special experience for you. One of my all-time favorite restaurants. Thank you as always!“

“Today was our first visit to Shades Bar & Grill. We were there for lunch & the food & service (our server was Sarah) could not have been better. We ordered the chicken & sausage gumbo, Philly cheesesteak & the chicken jalapeño ranch wrap. Our sides were onion rings & sweet potato fries, however we had a hard time making a selection because of the many great food options to choose from. All the food was delicious & Sarah was a top notch server who was friendly, prompt & efficient. Definitely recommend & will visit Shades again when back in the area.“

“The Grouper was delicious. Perfectly cooked. Hush puppies, oh man were they great! We had our dog with us and ate on the patio. Service was exceptional. Highly recommend Salty Sue’s!“

“Really enjoyed dinner here. They just opened a few months ago so only moderately busy. Their selection of fresh fish was great and I went with bronzed triggerfish. It was cooked to perfection.The only thing keeping it from getting five stars was the fish tacos someone in our party got. They were very plain and the guacamole was gross.“

“Dear Waffle House,My name is Shaun Breen. I had the privilege of having Miss Terry as my server. When I tell you, she did wonderful, She did Wonderful. I’m from Jesus land, Baton Rouge, Louisiana. It was amazing. Definitely the best serverszs I have ever had. I normally don’t review restaurants, but I couldn’t pass up Miss Terry and her beautiful smile I will be back to see Miss Terry“

“Had a great dinner at The Citizen while visiting Alys Beach in January for a business trip. The space and host team were welcoming and we were seated quickly. Our server, Lee, was very friendly, professional, and prompt. Our waters were frequently refilled and all team members were polite and friendly. We tried the east coast oysters, which were very good and well presented. I tried the squid ink bucatini with shrimp, which was good. My colleague tried the curried butternut squash with chicken and she said it was delicious and the chicken was well prepared. I would highly recommend this spot for an excellent meal and experience.“

“We love our local place! Great food and service! Highly recommend for some local color“

“My girlfriends and I had an impromptu dinner at The Perfect Pig while on our girls trip last week. The atmosphere was quaint and welcoming, and the service was very friendly.I got a salad with chicken, and it was a large portion. My friends each got a fish entree - the salmon bowls were especially pretty!Overall, you can tell they put a great deal of love and effort into their food, and it shows. The bar is wine and bubbles only - so keep in mind if you're someone who prefers cocktails.“

“Had a family lunch here! Everyone enjoyed their meals! I had the crab and avocado salad! It was perfection. It tasted like they use high quality ingredients! Service was prompt and friendly. Restaurant was clean. It is in the ‘downtown’ Alys beach area.“

“Absolutely amazing! 10 ⭐️!!! I’ve never had a food that has been stuck in my mind before. The Shrimp Tacos were the best I’ve ever had in my life. I’m from Matagorda Texas which is a coastal city. Needless to say I’ve had a ton of shrimp tacos in my life and these weren’t even close to being in the same sentence as the others. Above and beyond for sure. Definitely in a league of their own here in Florida. Not to mention the salad that came with it was no doubt the best salad I’ve ever had. The flavor combinations was unlike anything I’ve ever had. Not sure what the dressing was but it was absolutely to die for. These tacos and salad will be on my last meal death bed meal list. Keep up the good work. Did I mention. I’ve never written a review before and these tacos brought it out in me. Touché!!!“

“Charming atmosphere, friendly people, and delicious food! We had the grouper platter, one with blackened and one fried, with mac & cheese, fries, and hush puppies. Everything was well seasoned and perfectly cooked. Highly recommend!Parking: Parking is valet, only, but we had our car back quickly.“

“Good coffee. I take decaf and theirs was tasty. You can get pastries here. I got a cheese danish and a ham and cheese croissants. Both were served warm. They both tasted fresh. There is room to sit here and enjoy your coffee or work. Service is quick.“

“Excellent service, excellent food. Would definitely come again. They had quite a few GF options for my niece who has celiac. Our server was well informed of gf options on Menu. Can’t remember his name but he was Awsome and fun. Highly recommend.Our meals were incredible. Lamb dish, steak, shrimp pad Thai, and Red fish dinner were incredible. Carrot cake dessert and key lime pie were phenomenal. If you are in Rosemary beach, this is a must dining experience.Dietary restrictions: Gluten free“

“Meltdown is a tasty spot in one of the Airstream food trailers along 30A in picture-perfect Seaside, FL. The atmosphere is top notch. Nothing beats looking out over the ocean as you chow down on a comforting grilled cheese.You order at the window and then await the gooey, melty goodness. I got the Five Cheese and it did not disappoint. Crunchy grilled bread and five kinds of cheese making a statement.Nice stop for a bite along 30A.Parking: Parking is tricky. Ride your bike or walk“

“I cannot say enough good things about this restaurant great beer selection, good atmosphere and good service. The food that I have sampled there in my three visits has just been outstanding. The broccoli sprouts appetizer is to die for and the brisket grilled cheese sandwich is quite possibly the best sandwich I have ever consumed. The beer on tap selection is Vast. I highly recommend this establishment.Vegetarian options: The brussels sprouts are Simply amazing. They are on the appetizer menuParking: Always able to park very near with little walking“

“Outstanding costumer service delicious food and margaritas love it definitely going back“

“Very good steak. It’s big like Texas and the steak is pretty good. The Longhorn was my recommendation and loaded baked potato loaded my appetite. Eat Big or go home.. is that the saying? Proportions are big and if you are vegan you will not survive. Also there was a Cybertruck parked right outside the steakhouse. No MK4 Supra though☹️“

“Pescados was our favorite spot on Rosemary Beach. My husband and I initially went for dinner and it was so good we went back for lunch the next day. The ambiance and views on downtown Rosemary/the ocean add to the wonderful dining experience. The cocktails are amazing. My husband enjoyed the lobster pasta (homemade) and I enjoyed a local fish entree. Lunch was also a nice experience and would highly recommend. We were able to walk in and eat lunch at the bar without reservations. Dinner I booked well in advanced.“

“Good stuff! Fun atmosphere.“

“My family and I (multiple children!) came in there yesterday before we headed back home to Kentucky. We walked away just blown away at the hospitality and friendliness of the staff! Even my kids were saying that they did not remember ever going into a coffee shop or restaurant where the people were so genuinely friendly. The coffee was great but I think the service might've been even better! Will definitely be back whenever we are back visiting Rosemary Beach! God bless you!Kid-friendliness: The staff spoke to our kids and were really friendly toward them, from the oldest to the youngest. We got the frozen coffee, and they split it between three smaller cups for our 3 smaller kids. They did not have to do that. But it was such a help to my wife and I.“

“I just feel like it’s not worth the price point. The beach club is not exclusive to only resort members. The lazy River is not on resort property, you have to drive there. It’s just not the resort experience I was looking for. No towels down at the beach. Our room didn’t get cleaned the second day. Turndown service just never showed up when we told the day cleaning that we’d wait for turndown. She made a note and we made sure to be out of the room and got skipped entirely. We couldn’t figure out how to get to the beach club from our floor without walking around the entire resort from outside the front doors and the beach club kids working there were no help. Beautiful location and beautiful ocean but I was looking for more of a resort experience as it seemed to be advertised on the website than what we actually experienced. I feel like it was more just room and board with access to seaside.“

“Amazing experience. Our waitress Cheyenne was so super nice and really lovely. She suggested adding strawberry to our chocolate chip waffle (which wasn't yet listed on the menu) and holy cow it was great!Everything we ate came out fast, fresh, and delicious.The service was so, so good and the food was great. Really happy. Probably the best waffle house experience of my life?Thanks to Cheyenne for making us comfortable and the great conversation!“

“Always love the steaks here. Service is always great. Music was loud and blaring in an already noisy packed out restaurant. My wife got the medium ribeye and it had an unusual amount of fat and gristle. I had to give her part of mine. First bad experience with the “

“Family of 5 dropped by about an hour before sunset on a Thursday. No wait and table outside to watch the sun set.Blackened Red Snapper, shrimp basket, mahi mahi basket, quinoa bowl, and shrimp Dos tacos. It all arrived correctly and was delicious. Portions were generous and flavorful.The atmosphere was very nice and relaxing. Service was top tier for the area. We will return on the next trip to the area. Only had two drinks. Total was $b210 efore tip“

“I’m obsessed with pickles (restaurant and the food :) We ordered the Fried pickle burger with regular fries and a picklerita (frozen pickle margarita). The atmosphere is fun and beachy with lots of shops and interesting pop ups all around. Pickles is fun and the food is delicious! Make sure to add this to your bucket list in Seaside!“

“The food is excellent as always, but the music is really loud. Besides for the music being loud good place. I got the Cheesy Bacon Fondue, it was extremely good. For drink I got the Root Beer Float, that was good as well. My overall review is great. The fries are extremely good, (my family only got at least 7?). Great place, I would love to see it maybe remodeled, or rearranged. But final thing is, "Great place, Good service, But loud music."“

“Great wine bar! The have a great Happy Hour. A carafe of wine for the same price as a glass. There is a very nice selection of red and white wines...don't firget to ask fir a taste before you order. Tonight ww had the supreme pizza and wedge salad. Both were excellent. There is a separate area attached to the wine bar with a wide selection of great cheese and many wine varietals sold be the bottle. There is plenty of seating and a friendly staff. Highky recommend if you are in the area.“

“Such a friendly staff! Good food and delicious drinks. My friends and I enjoyed lunch outside yesterday. I had an incredible bloody mary, we shared the whipped feta, and I ate a black bean roll up with fries as my meal. I would recommend everything! I accidentally left behind my purse and couldn’t go back to get it because of an early flight. The manager was so kind on the phone and is shipping it to me in NJ. 10/10 service!! Will absolutely eat here again the next time I’m in town.“

“Never disappointed with the fare! I've been a handful of times and each dish is absolutely delicious. Highly recommend coming for dinner and sampling their pork tenderloin, or the catch of the day - service is kind and they don't push you out the door. Late season / fall there usually isn't a wait and there is even bike parking at the seagrove location if you choose not to drive.“

“Kids friendly. A lot more like an Arcade for the whole family. VR gaming, Car racing, Try your luck machines, Claw machines.They gave a gift shop where you can find from toy to DNB merch. Also there is a restaurant inside where you can stop by to grab a bite to eat or just drinks, they also serve alcoholic drinks for adults.Parking: Parking can be found d outside the Pier, around d the stores .Kid-friendliness: Dave and Busters is a kidfrie day arcade.“

“The ambience was just beautiful with views of the ocean and the most comfortable seating. The food choices were plentiful for everyone and absolutely delicious especially the nachos! But most of all the server was top notch, he used to work on a cruise ship so he knows how to entertain! We loved his personality, his humor, and his pride in making sure we had everything we needed! Please stop by this hidden gem you'll be so glad you did!!!!!“

“Food was absolutely delicious, exceptional costumer service, very kind, and didn’t have to wait long either. Would definitely recommend eating here!“

“Our waitress was a riot. Had us laughing and enjoying the whole time we were there. Great atmosphere“

“Recently spent a long weekend in Rosemary Beach and Edward's was our favorite spot from start to finish. It was a rainy evening but we wanted to sit in the little nook on the covered patio and it was perfect. Everything we ordered was fantastic (exception was the Mac and cheese, could skip that), and the personable service matched. Highly recommend!“

“Food was phenomenal! Ward waited on us and really made the experience so much fun. We ordered the charcuterie board, baked oysters, creole pasta, fish of the day (blackened mahi), a filet and a salad and every single dish was excellent. We ordered a bottle of wine that was sold out and Ward recommended another that was amazing! Would highly recommend for any date night, girls night, or any night that you want to celebrate!“

“This place was incredible. We came here for dinner on a Wednesday night and had the best time and dishes. My boyfriend and I decided to eat a few starters rather than getting an entrée and I am so glad we did. We enjoyed the complementary bread service, a starter Caesar salad, the charred octopus and my absolute favorite, the clams and mussels dish. The flavor was immaculate. I would definitely be coming back for that dish alone. The service was wonderful and the ambiance was elevated casual. Definitely consider making your way to this establishment.“

“We are visiting from Nashville and we always have the best time at the upstairs bar. We remembered Jackson from last year as he has worked his way up from being a barback to a bartender. We found out that not only did he take EXCELLENT care of us the entirety of our time at dinner, he was also technically clocked in as a barback that whole night. Which means he made all our drinks, took our order (while having incredible menu knowledge) AND delivered our food all without actually being a bartender. He said he does it “to ensure exceptional service” which is precisely what you want when running a restaurant of this caliber. He went above and beyond for us and we will most certainly be back for the food- and we will sit wherever Jackson is working. He is 100% the model employee anyone would be happy to have on their team.“

“We have eaten here several times. We are food-driven and the homemade food & sauces cannot be faked - no frozen pre-prepared items here and my tastebuds can tell. The service has always been good. It’s not fancy, definitely a local place, and filled with loyal customers.“

“Everything was excellent, I sat outside so I could smoke while I had my drink waiting for my dinner. I asked the server for an ashtray he said they didn't have any, I said they told me it was okay to smoke out here and he said yeah it is. I said what am I supposed to do with my cigarette back? I'm not going to throw it on the ground for one thing. I don't want it going in the ocean. He said it's okay just throw it down!!! There was no way in the world I would do that. I made him bring me a glass with water in it. There were napkins and straw papers. All kinds of trash just being blown all over the place. This place is on the beach!! That is not right!!!“
