Food

North Beach Tortilla Co. is our SoWal hangout "with a beach" on the shores of Choctawhatchee Bay, where “Tacos Grow on Trees and Tequila Always Wins.” Spoken like somebody who’s enjoyed a few good margaritas.

Edward’s Fine Food and Wine is an excellent and entertaining, fresh fine dining restaurant in the heart of Rosemary Beach.

Lunchtime at Red Fish Taco is a festive affair!

We like to hop over to the Blue Mountain Beach eatery as often as we can to get our fix of fun and tacos. Seems like too long since our last visit. If you haven't been to the hot spot in Redfish Village (where Trebeache' used to be), they’ve really brightened the place up. Whitewashed walls bounce light around the room and our favorite Justin Gaffrey pieces are still bringing the outside in.

What better way to beat the summer heat?

The SoWal Craft Beer and Spirits Festival is back! The 2nd Annual edition benefits Lucky Puppy Rescue. Join us on August 2, 2019 from 4-8PM at Shades Bar & Grill in Inlet Beach for fun, food and drink.

Restaurateurs Hanie and Marie Nasri have come full circle in their quest for cooking, serving, and satisfying their loyal customers in SoWal.

If you want to get some REAL Grayton flavor - this is where you wanna go!

Go where the locals go and eat what the locals eat. Delicious down-home cooking with flair. Grayt folks serving up Grayt grub with Grayt hospitality.

Shaka Sushi and Noodle Bar is the place to hang loose and catch some positive vibes in Inlet Beach.

In addition to sushi, the menu features sashimi and nigiri, small plates, poke bowls, bento boxes, and ramen. The flavors of the menu might be complex, but the space itself is cool and clean, much like your palate after a bite of pickled ginger.

Raw & Juicy has a new home in Alys Beach and we’re loving it!
