Grayton Beach State Park area

[wbwood]

Will be staying a few noghts at topsail hill preserve and then a few nights at Grayton beach state park. Can anyone recommend some good restaurants in the sea grove beach area?

For breakfast, Another Broken Egg. Short bike ride after turning left out of the main entrance. Behind Starbucks.

My bad, I was getting Stinkys confused with Elmo's.

Correct, but we are keeping things at Topsail to the immediate area and Destin. When we skip over to Grayton, we want to keep it to the east.

I used to live in Blue Mountain Beach, just a mile or two from Grayton. Our favorite at the time was Picalos/Red Bar. But I'm sure it is a whole different place 15 years later.

Personally I think Stinky's Fish Camp has become somewhat of a tourist trap. I use to love Stinky's. Due to limited parking they now force you to valet park. To pull in and out of the valet parking lane it is almost impossible to do in a pick up truck (I only have a SRW 2500HD Chevy) without hitting a yellow cone they have to direct you in and out. Forget it in a dually. For dinner they won't serve any sandwiches, you are forced to buy a full dinner. I once was able to get a PoBoy and a beer for dinner, not now, can for lunch. I have owned property near Destin and Santa Rosa Beach for 20 years so I have been to Stinky's a lot but NO more.

Go on up the road to Marie's Bistro, great food, great service, you can order what you want.

The Red Bar, Pandora's, and Hurricane's in Grayton are all great restaurants. The Old Florida Fish House in Seagrove is also a favorite of ours. The Seagrove Village Market is on 395 near the intersection with 30A, and has the best grouper sandwich you'll ever sink your lips around.

Huh? They are only 9 miles apart? The Topsail area is the Grayton area...

Yeppir on that.

Triple ditto on Stinky's Fish Camp.

X2 on Stinky's Fish Camp...our favorite!

On 30A two miles south of US98 (about a mile and a half past the entrance to Topsail) is Stinky's Fish Camp. Excellent!

On 98 in Miramar Beach is Jordano's Pizza. By far the best in this area.

Not necessarily a restaurant, but a great food/eating experience unto itself. It seems to me that just east of the main courtyard (past the port office, central square) there is/was a GREAT deli on the land side of the highway, not the gulf side. Somewhere around goatfeathers east. It's name escapes me and is driving me crazy at this point, but they have all sorts of great deli & seafood.
The smoked fish spread was very good as were the smoked pork chops. But the ultimate item was the smoked shrimp. To die for!!!
Almost worth the trip from St. Louis for the shrimp alone.
