The stops 10 spots Jeff stands behind
  • Great Southern Cafe

    Southern Restaurant

    Oh the Great Southern. First things first. Get the "Grits a yaya" (shrimp and grits). Off the chain, slap your mama, and whatever else needs to be said. Everything here will delight your taste buds. They have a super fun covered patio and a super fun atmosphere. A staple when you're in Seaside.

  • Modica Market

    Specialty Grocery Store

    Another one of our "we can't to go" places that is really an old-fashioned market and grocery stop. They have daily fresh made deli selection (sandwiches, salads, pastries, coffee bar, and everything you can imagine getting at a super cool market in a small Seaside Florida town along 30A). Family owned for decades and the siblings still operate it. Please stop by...oh, and get one of their fresh mimosas to go. :)

  • Bud & Alley’s Pizza Bar + Trattoria

    Pizza Restaurant

    Another one of our "you must try" spots. The pizza, OFF THE CHAIN! Rooftop bar and restaurant option too...overlooks the ocean. You will feel as though you just stepped into a little slice of heaven.

  • Barefoot BBQ

    Barbecue Restaurant

    Seaside has a collection of Airstream trailers that are all food vendors. They are all good, but one we recommend is Barefoot. You'll be happy you did.

  • The Big Chill

    Eat And Drink

    The big chill sits between Rosemary and Seaside and is a super fun collection of food shops, retail shops and outdoor "fun" space where you can watch live music, watch your favorite game (on their numerous large screen tv's). They have a great selection of bar food vendors, bbq, wood fired pizza, ice cream shop, ladies and men's apparel and much more. We will go and spend hours just hanging out! DO NOT miss this stop on your 30A vaca.
