This is an order at the counter place where they give you a number and bring it out. Seat yourself. Surprised to come on a Friday night and be able to get a table for our large party right away. Live music on this night. Very casual vibe with great water views. We really enjoyed our alcoholic beverages. For food I ordered the mahi mahi. You could also do the fish of the day. I could pick two sides. I picked coconut rice and black beans. Food was decent. Fish was overcooked, Imo. Rice and beans were fine just nothing special. Overall it was decent. I would come again for the atmosphere. Would be fun to come and just have drinks and hang out. read more

First restaurant we had on our first day visiting Santa Rosa! There's indoor and outdoor seating with games to occupy kids. Dogs are welcome which made it so fun to see the puppies. They played in the water and just brought a lighter ambiance to the establishment. There was a singer on the outside area near the bar which just made it a good time! Parents can relax and kids can run around in the sand. We ordered the nachos, tacos, shrimp and grits, and since it was Oktoberfest, they were offering the large pretzel... the pretzel was my favorite, not sure it was worth the $ bc it was pretty pricey considering you order at the counter and have trays like school lunch. I can definitely see the appeal so maybe it was an off day for our visit. read more

Great spot for families, kids, and groups. We sat outside on the bay and loved the view -- plus my daughter had a blast playing with other kids in the sand area. The drinks were good and fairly priced for a vacation spot. My meal (a rice bowl) was just okay, but I think I ordered one of the less popular items. Everyone else at the table ordered fried fish/seafood and really enjoyed their meals. Overall, a fun and relaxed place to hang out and definitely family-friendly. read more

North Beach Social - View from table - Seafood Near Me - Santa Rosa Beach, Florida

We wanted to grab a local bite to eat and decided to try north beach social. Upon arrival, we realized that there was face painting and arts and crafts for the kids in celebration of Dia de los muertos, so of course we had to partake. Following that, little detour, we ordered our food at the counter and proceed it to our table. I noted that all silverware, condiments, napkins were also serve - I'm of a mixed opinion on this point, especially when weight staff is dependent upon tips did income. At any rate, they brought our food out in a relatively short amount of time. The items we ordered were pretty good in terms of flavor and plating. Lucky for us.They also had items on the menu for the picky littles, as well. They had both indoor and outdoor seating - part of the outdoor seating was at the bar and the rest was picnic-style tables in the sand along the bay shore. The weather was the perfect temperature of warmth, which made for a really good experience. Items of Note: It is adjacent to the Farm and Fire restaurant, so note that parking can quickly fill up. read more

Came here for dinner with family. This is a go up and order yourself type of place with no waiters or anything. This place is located on the water and there are yard games in the sand for the kids to play with. There was also live music so it's a nice vibe if looking to hang out for a while. All of our food was good but not amazing. We got the pretzel bites to start which was good and our kids enjoyed them too. For my entree, I had the shrimp po boy. It was huge so at least you got a lot of for the money. I defintley could've done with less. My husband's fish was dry. He did enjoy his alcoholic drink. This is owned by the same owner's as The Bay which is one of my favorite restaurants on 30A and their food always wows me. The food here didn't wow me. I would probably choose to eat at The Bay next time for almost the same price but I could see the appeal of coming here for the atmosphere, especially with kids. read more

Ther is a reason why some restaurants don't have long waits. NBS is on the water and that is the only redeeming quality. I had pork nachos which sat in 1/4 inch a grease that soaked all the nachos on the bottom and rendered them inedible. the nachos also had pickles on them....werid. outside of that they weren't that tasty. How do you mess up pork nachos? NBS figured out how? My 2 guests both got the fish sandwich. It was a small anemic dry sandwich with microwave crinkle fries for $28. There are dozens of other places in the area with better food and prices and service. Even McDonalds would score higher. read more

Stopped in for a quick drink and light dinner at the bar. Had the poke bowl and a Pineapple Hard Cider. Enjoyed both but the poke bowl should loose the fake crab salad, would be better with some other veggie. Looks like a fun place to come when the sun is out. read more

Chicken bowl is delicious. Fast service. Good beans. Great chicken sandwich, very crispy. Mixed reviews on fries. Some people liked the fries, others didn't. Nice view. Highly recommend read more

Awful experience, would never return or recommend. Less than fast food quality at full service prices. You order at a counter and they bring the food to your table with fast food condiment packets. When you pay $18 dollars for a burger they could at least not charge an extra dollar for cheese. Plus the minimum tip is 18%, for what? I had to get my own silverware at the bar, get ketchup packets and go to the bar for drinks! Their drinks have absolutely no alcohol. The whole place is a rip off. They advertise as a "local bar", and they're charging tourist prices. And the place is shabby. They have a million dollar view and a fast food restaurant. read more

I was expecting something different so that maybe affected my experience. I didn't realize you ordered at the counter and got a table number. Food and service reminded me of quick service at Disney, not great. We wanted to enjoy the outdoor space (the reason we chose this place) but it was freezing and they had no heaters. I get it's Florida but nights can be cool. We only stayed a few minutes and had to go find somewhere warmer to hang out . read more

The food is edible. Great place if you have kids because they can run and play but the food is nothing to write home about. I ordered the Mahi. It looked to be about 4 oz only and was very dry. Water kept dropping on us from the patio above. I'm sure the drinks were good but I didn't try any. Our bill ran up to $127 for 3 adults and two kids for food that was just edible and tea / soft drinks. read more

The food was very good, and there was plenty of seating inside. However it was too crowded to sit outside to enjoy the sunset. Our service was good, all the staff was very nice. The poke bowl was very refreshing, with the base of a salad instead of rice. Our whole table was able to get the food fairly quickly for how busy the restaurant was. I was very satisfied with my food and would like to return to sit outside because the view looked so pretty. read more

I have visited this establishment many times while visiting the area. Past experiences have been great, and the food has always been stellar. Yesterday, not so much. I ordered my go to blackened dolphin sandwich. The fish, which is usually tender and flavorful, was dry and tasted old. The tiny sliver from the end of a tomato left much to be desired, and the lettuce was the size of about 1/4 of a leaf of romaine. Time constraints did not allow me to discuss my disappointment with management, but I am hoping they read this review and step up their game. $26 for a fish sandwich, one expects much more. read more

Stopped in after an art show with a group of 9 of us - love the food selection - I had simple dozen oysters and order of fries with some sparkling rose wine ! Their fries are absolutely perfect and tasty !!! Perfect combination. Others had the Grouper Cakes, Grits a ya ya, Carson Chicken Sandwich and Jumbo Shrimp. All were very tasty. This is a great place to come eat on the deck and enjoy the bay breeze. Servers were friendly and prompt and even removed plates from table when you were done ! Enjoyed our afternoon. Only "dink" was the numerous water dripping from the upper deck in several locations - not sure what the cause was but would be nice to move the tables to avoid the drips. But hey it's still a great place to hangout with family and friends - we will be back again !! read more

Food was great. We had the fish with black beans and fry's. The fish sandwich with fries. The kids cheeseburger which cost the same as a regular burger so I would go with a cheeseburger if you're a fan of cheese. You order and the. They bring the food to you. Place is great. We ate outside fun but the food gets cold with the wind. read more

Go for the atmosphere and views, stay for th food and drinks. Casual set up (our party took off our shoes to eat at tables on a sand beach). Food was served quickly, service was great. Sunset views were beautiful. Bushwhacker cocktail made a good dessert. Party had the burger, wasn't sure if it was going to be liked upon delivery but two thumbs up. Also mahi sandwich was the best one I had the entire vacation. Mahi platter, fish was great, fri s were good, rice was a little boring. Buffalo chicken sandwich, large portion not too hot, enjoyed. Had live music playing, sand floors, just like dinner at on a beach vacation should be. Also met a few fun locals, will definitely return on next trip read more

Great views. Good food! We had a party of 6 for dinner at 7:00 pm on Friday, 7/28/23. It was crowded, but we found a table and the food came out quickly! You order at the counter and they bring the food out to you. They have live music. There's plenty of parking in the gravel lot with the string lights across the street. Here's what some of us got: - Spicy Pineapple North Beach Margarita: Super good! - Carson Fried Chicken Sandwich: Delicious! - Tuna Poké Bowl: I was told it was good! - Surf & Turf Skewers: Also told it was good. Good for big and small groups. Great for watching the sunset! read more

The atmosphere is great had live music with nice view of bay. Kind of hard to figure out the ordering process for a first time visit. Drinks were great. Margarita and frozen wine drink. I like that you can get soda and water refills without waiting Food was just standard beach food, fish tacos were a hit. Shrimp po boy was just ok. Need some mayo or more Cajun remoulade to make it better Tuna dip was just ok. Will try it again see what other food and drinks are worthwhile read more

The best meal we had in Florida. Stopped in on our way out of town. Super location, right on the bay, lots of outdoor seating. Order at the register and they'll bring it out to you. I can highly recommend the Mediterranean salad with grilled chicken and the blackened Mahi sandwich with fries. Both dishes were great, zero complaints. The food, two fountain drinks and tip came to about $50. read more

Only took us five years to finally come here and now it's one of my favorites. The ordering is smart in that you order first then jockey for a table. The prices are fair and the food is really solid. The order of cheese curds we got was massive and rivaled Northwoods pubs. Kids meals, burgers, and salads were also great. There are so many places in the area that gouge your wallet and this is not one of them. The other huge plus is that your kids can run around creating chaos with a hundred other kids as there are a ton of activities for them to keep busy. read more

It's a great family friendly casual restaurant right on the bay. The food is good and service is usually pretty good. During peak season service can be a little bit slow just because it's so popular but overall I enjoy going especially for Sunday brunch. read more

Don't get me wrong, it's kinda cute in its own tiny, underwhelming way. But this thing is so small, I had to double-check the packaging to make sure I wasn't sent a sample version.

placed a to-go order costing over $100. I checked the food my car and the fries were extremely cold and old. I was very disappointed because I love the wings and fries here but I spent way too much money on "bar food" to receive cold fries because the cook doesn't feel like making anymor. read more

Great place to be when it's a sunny day and you want to listen to live music, let the kids play in the sand, and grab a drink or two to enjoy! It's such a family-friendly establishment and the kids always have fun playing with all the toys offered at the beach area! It's also safe and away from the main road so you don't have to worry about the kids making their escape to 331. Sunday Fundays here are a blast! read more

Not the dining experience I was expecting. You get in line to place your order like a fast food place, get a number and they bring the food to your table. Soft drinks were self-serve. It was served in a reasonable amount of time. My family's food was good, but the price was way too high. My bun was soggy on the bottom. Just over $100 for 4 adults, 1 child. The dining room lacked any ambiance. Some booths, some tables. Old looking. Outside was a different story. Very nice sand, tables, bar area. I would come back if the dining room had been more of a waitress-at-your-table type service and updated. Kind of disappointed. read more

The menu is diverse and offers enough variety that everyone should be able to find something to enjoy. They will modify any dish at your request as well--no pre-cooked or frozen entrees here to limit your options! The drinks are fun and interesting! I definitely want to go back and try their kombucha cocktail! Prices are about what you'd expect, three of us had dinner and drinks with no appetizers or desert for right at $40 a person. Service was exactly right and never too much or too pushy. The sand felt wonderful under my toes and we enjoyed watching some ospreys fly and fish over the beautiful water. We've looked and looked and there's not a better spot in the area for dining and good food with a beautiful view! read more

The best thing here is the vibe and being right off the bay with boaters able to anchor down and walk up. The bar is extensive and your typical beach bar with good beer and spirit choices. A lot of outside tables and games for kids to play. The food I've had both times has been ok. The smoked fish dip, shrimp boil, and fried fish were fine but nothing special. The paella looks really good but we've never been on paella night unfortunately. Great place to hang out and have a drink. read more

Food was expensive and mediocre. The service non-existent. The water view is all they had. There are lots of options, try another place.

We stopped at North Beach Social for lunch on our way to Destin. We were early for lunch, right around opening time. It did take some time to be greeted at the counter but we quickly ordered and made our way to a table outside. The venue is very cool and family-friendly - a great place to stretch your legs after being in the car for several hours! It's located on the water, so the tables outside are situated in the perfect spot to watch for fish! They have games set up for corn hole and a ton of space. We received our food after about a 15 minute wait. They have condiment stations set up inside / by the bar, so be prepared to walk to/from in the sand if you forget your ketchup!! I opted for mahi tacos and received a large lunch tray. read more

First off the location is great- close enough to the main drag but still far enough away to give it a great chill vibe. Kid friendly and big enough where the wait times are minimal. Beautiful ambiance next to the water and a great place to watch the sunset. They had live music as well. I got the Tuna Poke Bowl and it was loaded with tuna and tasted awesome. The fish Tacos were great and the service was top shelf. Coming back for sure! Don't forget to order the Pecan Pie Cheesecake!! So yummy!! read more

I give this place 5 stars for the combination of all the things, not because it's star restaurant, but the below. Food was good and service quick. I had the hot roast beef with queso (yeah it's insane). Wife had rice bowl with grilled red fish. Kids - well they always get basic stuff - burgers etc. However the outside area was great for them. Access to beach and water with all kinds of little people activity. Drinks were good as well. So 5 stars for all of the above. read more
