Lunch on 30-A

I am not sure where you tried. Bruno's pizza located in Seagrove Plaza has a buffet every week day. It's pretty good. Cocoons deli is also a good choice and has a variety of sandwiches, salads, bbq and an interesting selection of hot sauces and olive oils. Seagrove Village Market is good.

If I have mentioned something you've already tried my apologies.

Here is a good little website to use to find a place depending on which end of 30-A you happen to be on. It will also give you an idea of price.

Hope this helps.

How about the Publix Deli counter.

Funny, but true. :clap_1:

I was being totally serious. Publix food in great. Wish we had one in the Nooga.

The beaches are great, there's a warm ocean breeze,
but you'll never find just a plain old grilled cheeze.

Screw lunch-sized shrimp ceasars with roasted chick peas.
Can one friggin' restaurant just serve a grilled cheeze?

No Popeyes, no Wendys, not one Tasty Freeze;
no pizzas delivered to your door with ease.

So we'll eat our aioli beneath the palm trees
Since no friggin' restaurant serves a plain old grilled cheeze.

Ok-I am getting a little concerned here-hahehaha-am I going to have to take out a loan to feed the family of six on vacation!!!! :roll: I am assuming that we will be eating out at night and cooking during the day as we break from the beach-Are there any grocery stores nearby or should we bring everthing with us?

Here's what us "planners" do. We bring breakfast and luch stuff from home and usually eat at the condo for both meals. However, we will eat lunch out a couple of times just cause it's fun to ride bikes or walk to a neat cafe . We will eat out 4-5 nights (One really expensive place :shock: and the rest moderate). I do like to buy fresh seafood from the markets and cook dinner . If you plan on eating out for lunch and dinner. Yes, you will need to take out a 2nd maybe even a 3rd mtg on your house .

We like to refer to it as 'trickle up' economics. For illustrative purposes, let's say Kurt's wife has always bragged on his grilled cheeses at home, so much so, that Kurt decides that what will truly make him happy is to provide his grilled cheeses to the rest of world through a small restaurant or diner that we'll call 'Kurt's House of Grilled Cheeze,' again for illustrative purposes.

So Kurt goes looking for the perfect location - one that will be convenient and close enough to a busy road that someone will see his small 'Kurt's House of Grilled Cheese' sign since recent sign ordinances won't allow big ones. Kurt finds the perfect spot, a small building for lease owned by say Riverotter, again for illustrative purposes. Riverotter believes in Kurt, has tried his grilled cheeses and thinks they'll sell and provide him with a secure and steady rental income for a very, very long time. Since Riverotter paid close to two million for a 35 foot wide commercial lot and small metal building, he has to charge Kurt ten thousand dollars a month in order to cover the cost of his mortgage payment. Kurt, borrows money to buy cheese, bread, butter, a frying pan, stove and napkins. Now Kurt figures up that in order to make any profit on his grilled cheeses, he will have to charge customers $20.00 per sandwich. People complain and business slacks off. To make $20.00 seem reasonable, he figures he'll thrown in some blue cheese crumbles and roasted tomato pesto and a bag of Zapps potato chips and call them 'gourmet' grilled cheese sandwiches and give it a cutsier name like ?Kurt?s Grilled Cheese By The Seas? and hang Gaffrey Art behind the cash register. This is why that even though South Walton is more family oriented than a Chucky Cheeses, you?re going to pay $50.00 per child if you want to eat at one. Here, if you have to ask how much the grilled cheese cost, you probably can't afford it. Criollas started out as a hotdog stand.

Dangit!! Spit my water on the computer again :laughing1 :laughing1 :laughing1

I second the motion on the Publix. When we want a cheap, healthy, delicious lunch we pick up a sandwich, salad and or sushi from the Publix....then find some random wonderful spot to eat it. No waiting, no tipping, and everythings fresh and delicious. Truly, it's hard to beat the deal in the area.

But, to eat out, Louies on hwy 98 on the way to PC Beach offers basic, but good, food at decent prices. (like $6 or 7 for a blackened chicken or fish sandwich with sides) Luna del Mar has lunch special specials for $6-9.

hmm...though now i'm finding myself craving a grilled cheeze...strange..

What is Gafferty art?

I meant Gaffrey art. I never proof read. Thanks for keeping me on my toes.

I'm heading to KY tonight to see the folks. I think Ill call ahead and have mom make me some grilled cheese sandwiches! Let's see, if I leave Nashville at 5pm I can be in Bowling Green at 5:45 with sandwich in hand... ;-)

PS-
Trip to the beach is being planned for third week of April. Will all the spring breakers finally be gone?

Spring Breakers will be gone. April is the calm before the storm.

Perfect! Now if I can find a hotel room that wont make me go broke...

We should have everyone from the message board meet for a beer when I come so I can see what everyone looks like!

You might want a few beers BEFORE you see anyone.

Ha!!! Thats hilarious!!!

On a serious note, do you know of anywhere to stay for around $100 or less per night near Grayton?

There's Camping On the Gulf. They have lot's of fun activities, a laundry room, a pool and the bathrooms are very clean. One of my best friends from Ontario lived there this winter and she had the best time! Quiet too.

You would have to try camping at the State park for under $100.

Luna del Mar has lunch special specials for $6-9.

Real Math 101 teaches us the following:
So you buy a lunch special at $6.00. You buy a glass of tea for $1.49. Taxes about 50 cents. Unless you are a scumbag, you should be tipping $1.50 at a minimum. Add together, and the $6.00 lunch special costs you a whopping $9.49. What is so special about that? I eat lunch around here every day, and the cheapest meal, whether good or bad is going to cost me $10. The one exception is when I grab a 1/4 lb hotdog, bag of chips and a 16 oz pepsi from the Corner Store (Grayton Corners) for $3.50, take it to the Beach, and have the best view of any restaurant around.

Is Mr. P. Ellis dressing up again???

Mike B. - We've stayed at Grayton Beach State Park cabins (cottages) and were very pleased with them, especially for around $100 per night/2 BR and in natural wooded setting. Gotta walk a little to the beach but it is not crowded.

Walton Undercurrent-you are cracking me up!!!! too funny-while I kn ow you are serious-you still put a little humor in!!! heheehh :clap_1: By the way-where is Publix from Cassine Village. I think we might have to check that one out.
