We have been to the Goatfeathers market location on 30A near Santa Rosa Beach last time we were…read morehere, but didn't know about this market/cafe spot in Inlet Beach until we were staying in the area for the holiday week. Plenty of street parking. No issues with a spot and we stepped in and were greeted by Paul and Lark upon entry. Major plus is the fact that you can get fresh oysters shucked and shrimp, fish, burgers, they have something for everyone! If you don't care to eat in, getting it to go is also fine I'm sure. Ordered a dozen oysters, steamed Old Bay shrimp and potatoes, and a shrimp and fish plate that came with Cole slaw, hush puppies, and fries. Plenty to share. They have multiple sauces and seasonings, especially of note is the Crystal hot sauce from Louisiana which is one of the best IMO for oysters. Service was very good, friendly, professional, and helpful with support. Couldn't have been happier with the lunch today, we already will plan one last visit before heading home Saturday. I cannot say this enough, good food, great service, fast in and out, accommodating when asked for something. It's 100% perfect for this area. The person cooking in the kitchen also nailed the food cooked back there also. They have a steam box in the front as well as a huge area where the seafood is displayed. Support small businesses!

Fair warning, come early and get in line. They are only open from 5-8pm and it's on a first come first served basis. We got there around 4:45pm and the line was 15 deep at least. The place is huge so it can accommodate a ton of people, but on a busy night it could fill up quickly. For the experience, especially with kids it's well worth it. The seafood was excellent. We all got a crab boil with either Dungeness or snow crab, shrimp, sausage, corn and potatoes. And the kicker: their loaded Cajun butter sauce lathered all over everything. Outstanding flavors, insanely fresh crab and shrimp boiled to perfection, and the sausage, corn and potatoes rounded it all out. Service was unbelievably fast given how popular and busy it was. I commend them for running a well oiled machine. This definitely wasn't their first rodeo. A great experience for a whole family, just remember to get there early.

Friendly staff last night tho even tho we passed on their current offerings. *updated after Tara responded to my review. Tara, I save 5 stars for perfection and one of those 5 star reviews that I have given, went to you ma'am. Last summer. If a returning, happy customer returns to purchase favorites and they are no longer offered- to be disappointed is certainly acceptable... and to be disappointed upon leaving an establishment will never earn a 4 star with me. So 3 stars it was. And I was very complimentary of your establishment!! To be responded to with "have yourself a 3 star day- well, that speaks louder than your lack of menu items. Especially , to a retuning customer who gave you a 5 star review last year. And I dont believe I reviewed the wrong restaurant. I know you own more than the one at the Peddler but the map and location on this yelp location, lists Seacrest and seafood stand. And that tracks. You are more than welcome to send me what you think is the correct one tho and I am happy to amend.

We ordered two virgin drinks at the bar-- a Piña Colada and a Mango Daiquiri. Both were very refreshing on a hot summer day! The restaurant seemed decently busy, and the bartenders were nice. At one point, one of the bartenders checked the tip jar, which I thought was a little odd and probably something that shouldn't be done in front of guests. Other than that, everything was great! I'd definitely recommend this place!

Right when we arrived, we were walked to our table, which was a booth and was plenty of room for the 5 of us. When we were walking to our table, I noticed how nice this restaurant was! The ambiance was on point. Very nice but not too nice. Our waiter immediately addressed us when we sat down and gave us his recommendations for drinks. I decided on the peach Paloma spritz. It was delicious and well presented. Others in my party got red wine, a French 75 and the market ranch water. I thought mine was the most delicious lol. Before we ordered our appetizers, the waiter was so beyond knowledgeable about the whole menu. Gave us all of the specials like nothing I have ever heard before. He was so great! For our appetizers, we got the bread butter candle, smoked fish dip, and the burrata salad. The bread butter candle was the best thing I've ever had! It was so cool and very unique. I absolutely loved the burrata salad, but I thought the fish dip was a tad too fishy for me. For our entrees, most of the table got the red fish and the other two got the steak and the pasta. We all devoured the red fish! It was so delicious and a good portion. Others in my pastry weren't fans of the pasta, but the steak was one of the best I've ever tasted. From the service to the food to the ambiance, this place is one of my favorites I've ever dined at! I can't wait to come back!

Bayou On The Beach Cafe

My wife and I jokingly call this place "Bayou NOT On The Beach Cafe" - because, well... it isn't…read more But honestly, that's the only thing Bayou doesn't deliver on. The menu is packed with options: raw, grilled, baked, and charbroiled oysters, royal red shrimp, fried seafood baskets, fresh fish, prime rib po'boys, Cajun seafood boils, burgers, and more. We've tried just about everything over the years, and not once have we been disappointed. It's hard to believe I haven't reviewed them before now, but what Bayou lacks in beachfront views, it more than makes up for with consistently great food, cold drinks, and friendly service - all at reasonable prices. A couple things to know before you go: they're closed Sundays and Mondays, don't take reservations or call-ahead seating, and they stay busy. If you show up after 5:45pm, expect a bit of a wait - but grabbing a drink at the bar and catching up with your group at the picnic tables on the open patio is all part of the experience.

From the moment we walked in, we were greeted by a wonderful hostess with a warm smile and a friendly attitude. My party of five chose to sit in the bar area and were seated immediately. Our server, Trent, was fantastic! He was personable, attentive, knowledgeable, and happy to answer all of our questions. The customer service was definitely one of the highlights of the evening. We started with salads and appetizers. I ordered the garden salad with Caesar dressing. The dressing was absolutely delicious--one of the best parts of the meal--but the salad itself was disappointing. It consisted mostly of romaine lettuce with just a tiny slice of onion, a couple of cucumber pieces, and a few carrot strips. The crab cakes, on the other hand, were excellent! They were flavorful and paired perfectly with the remoulade sauce, which tasted fresh and homemade. For my entrée, I ordered the stuffed shrimp. Unfortunately, it fell well below my expectations. The dish consisted of seven shrimp, each topped with just a small dab of crab stuffing. While the sauce was delicious, the overall presentation and portion of the stuffing left the dish feeling underwhelming. Around the table, opinions were mixed. The fried okra and hush puppies were both big hits, and everyone agreed the oysters were excellent. However, the Captain's Platter was a little disappointing, and the blackened fish was heavily over-seasoned for a couple of people in our group. Overall, Captain's Table delivered exceptional service but inconsistent food. I may come back to try some of the fried seafood since it looked really good on other tables, but based on this visit, I'll give it 3.5 out of 5 stars.

I seriously wish I could clone her. The kitchen was taking a very long time to get our food out, but Jen never let it affect our experience. She took matters into her own hands by bringing us fresh hush puppies while we waited. Even though a food runner was supposed to deliver our meals, she personally brought everything out herself because she cared about making sure we were taken care of.
