24 Best American Restaurants near Alys Beach

“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 went for a girls night. The venue is pretty loud so just know that if you are seated upstairs and maybe ask for a downstairs table. The food is very good and service was exceptional. We had one dinner miso Eder and the server was so apologetic and the chef made it right very promptly. There is a wide variety of seafood entrees and each looked delicious and well prepared. I took a few picks of the ordered entrees at our table. I would dine here again.“

“Such a fun bar. The band playing tonight (3/17) was really good and fun. The food was really good for a bar. We had the gumbo, shrimp and crawfish pasta, and the blackened grouper. All very tasty, well portioned and presented. It can get loud while the band is playing, but if you don't mind it, you'll have a good time and meal.Parking: Parking is hard to find.“

“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.“

“I’ve had many many omelets in my days, but NEVER has one been soooo delicious than at BBB. Actually, I am looking forward to my next vacation there even more now!! I have already told many people to go there on their next Seagrove beach trip.“

“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.“

“We went on a busy Thursday night. The dining room was a little empty but outside and the bar seemed to have a better vibe. The service and ambiance is not so amazing that they shouldn't allow kids over 12. Music, decor, anything to make it a bit more friendly and comfortable in the dining room.“

“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!“

“My mom has recovered from mouth cancer and can only tolerate liquid.They blended the bisque soup so my mom was able to enjoy a real meal out vs formula in her feeding tube at home.A real extra step to make a person feel normal!!!! thank you so much for a great meal with my mom!!!!“

“I just want to say that Ms. Tabby, the owner, and all of the staff family are AMAZING!!! We were welcomed with open arms and the hospitality was endless! Everyone went above and beyond to make sure that we felt at home and had everything we needed. We joined our Grayton Seafood Co. family twice while on our trip and the food was excellent! We couldn’t get enough of the calamari and crab claws. Both outside and indoor seating was great; we had the opportunity to hit the dance floor with Chevy and listen to some great music after our WONDERFUL bread pudding and chocolate cake…Please visit this lovely establishment, it will make your trip 1000x better!- Love, Kennedy and Family“

“**Wild Olives 30A** enchanted us with its sophisticated ambiance and exceptional cuisine. Absinthe Minded (an absinthe cocktail) was a great start, while the Mezze platter offered a delightful array of flavors - the warmed olives were a nice touch! The mushroom ravioli stood out with its flavorful umami broth. Our server Megan's friendliness and attentiveness added to the charm. Their attached wine room's unique selection impressed us, diverging from the typical 30A offerings. Overall, Wild Olives 30A delivered an unforgettable dining experience that combined creativity with tradition, leaving us eager to return.“

You can’t go wrong with the pig nachos and the perfect margarita! Our favorite bartender is Javier. He’s always there with a smile and genuine desire to ensure we all have a great experience. We’ll definitely be back.“

“A Gem of a Coffee Experience at AmavidaVisiting Amavida Coffee both in Rosemary Beach and Seaside turned out to be a highlight of my Florida trip. The ambiance of both locations is a perfect blend of comfort and artistic flair, making each visit a unique experience. Their commitment to sustainability is evident not just in their delicious organic coffee, but also in the range of sustainable products like the sweatshirts, which are not only eco-friendly but stylish too.The latte in Rosemary Beach was crafted to perfection, offering the right balance of espresso and milk - a true delight for any coffee lover. Meanwhile, the Seaside location impressed me with its delightful cheese Danish and scrumptious macarons, each bite better than the last. The variety and quality of their pastries are commendable.What truly sets Amavida apart, though, is the beautiful art that adorns their walls, adding an enriching layer to the overall experience. It's not just a coffee shop; it's a celebration of local culture and artistry. I highly recommend Amavida Coffee to anyone looking for exceptional coffee, delightful treats, and a warm, inviting atmosphere. Whether you're a local or just passing through, Amavida is a must-visit destination.Parking: Street sideKid-friendliness: I was able to enjoy my coffee while my kids enjoyed their time there.“

“We were greeted and very quickly sat at our table. Our waitress was amazing! I have an allergy to mustard seeds which is in many rubs and bbq and asked the young lady about their seasonings. The kitchen manager came out discussed with me and even cut a steak new unwarranted and made sure that there was no hiccups and I did not die! Lol The waitress was on it. She answered any menu questions we had, the portions were amazingly large, the garlic mashed potatoes were the best ever! Food was hot, drinks were cold, and the keylime pie was delicious! All of the staff were very attentive, I think we had 6 or more walk past us asking if we needed anything!Dietary restrictions: In many places I've never felt like the waitress or the kitchen could be bothered by my allergy our server definitely took the time to make sure I wouldn't have an issue! They take the time to make sure it is or isn't OK and will go out of their way just to take that extra precaution to be safe.“

“The Meltdown on 30A is always a great choice for lunch or dinner. I love the all American, which is a class grilled cheese. My husband always gets the Smokin Turkey which has turkey, bacon, cheese, avocado, and an Albuquerque sauce. They serve bottled drinks, fountain drinks, beer, wine, and kettle chips as well. Service is always super fast and friendly. All items are made to order so it will take 5-10 minutes for your food to come up depending on how long the line is. The only thing I wish they would offer that they don't is pickles. I love pickles with my grilled cheese!“

“Unique local spot. No strangers here....you sit with friends and everyone is a friend you haven't met yet. They were taking names to seat people, although n older couple snuck in when the waitress was paying attention. She cordially let them stay. Veggie omelet and cheesy grits were delicious. Biscuit and a side of sausage were well received by the daughter who doesn't like breakfast. Cash or check only.“

“We had such a fun bachelorette/birthday dinner here! The service was outstanding, we seriously loved Josh & Donny so much. The food was phenomenal along with the drinks. We sat outside and in FL it got a little chilly but they have heaters to keep you warm so you can still enjoy the fresh air, absolutely loved it!“

“The atmosphere was very plesent, the food was great loved the shrimp and the service was prompt and fast plenty of seating and parking was good and the gentleman behind the register where we ordered was very friendly and nice I will definitely be going back there when I come down on my next vacation from Minnesota thank “
