Hello,
I have just found this very good forum with so much helpful informations.
Since 1995 we have spend every summer vacations at your beautiful coast, and we still love this place (our favorite place is Dune Allen / Santa Rosa ). This weekend we come down again for 3 weeks.
Over the years we checked out many restaurants in the area. Last year my wife and I went out for dinner to ?Snapperheads? (we have been there the years before too, I think the former name was ?Salty Dogs?) and we had a lot of fun. Does anybody know if it is still open ?

I am sorry to say that Snapperheads is no longer open. It was seized by the US government for back taxes and is currently up for sale.(at least the dirt is for sale). But there are some new restaurants open that I am sure you will like. Welcome back and enjoy your stay.......

I`m sorry to hear that.
Can you give me some advices about locations with bar & restaurant ? We like to have a drink or two after dinner and maybe listen to Live-Music.
(Sorry for my englisch, I hope you can understand what I?m trying to ask)

Back taxes................. not the reason I heard! Might be why property is currently for sale though.

seems to me that the seller's name would be Internal Revenue Service if the property was being sold by the IRS.

Blue Orleans seems to be a good choice. I visited their website and took a look at the menu, I will try one of their Po`boys. Thank you for your advice.

Finally, some rumors can be laid to rest! Thanks for posting, jbeebe. Interesting info, and it is now obvious as why you weren't talking. I think your silence in the matter for such a long time, kept people wondering about the rumors, so it is good that you could now come forth and speak a little bit on the subject. I had forgotten all about those delicious Apple wood smoked bacon cheddar cheeseburgers, until now. It is only 6:30am and I'm getting hungry for one.

I also thank you for dispelling the rumors. I for one loved the place and sorely miss it. You just cant get fried crab claws in a casual environment anymore. (And they arent the most elegant food to eat in public, I dont care what anyone says.
)

jbeebe...so good to hear from you. It is so true that if people don't have the facts, they either assume things or just make them up. I still wave at Snapperheads when I pass by.

That is why Doug has never trusted anyone to do it, but himself. I mean being in the cafe at all times. Of course we haven't had a vacation in like a bazillion years....and the last one we did have he closed the cafe for a week in JULY so we could!
Funny, but that was when we created the first D&K's in that darling little cottage on Vicki Street right behind Snapperheads (then Salty Dogs)! Which, we sold the property and building to Cafe Tango.
Thanks John for that information....I will NOT let Doug read it or I may never get him out of D&K's. He might just put a bed in there.:funn:

I still have my memories of the JUMBO gin and tonic and dancing with the Mers and jfunn to the DJ!!!!

I liked the place better when it was Salty Dog. It truly was the best locals hang out on 30A. When it changed ownership and names, I called it Flapperheads

But I still cant find Fried Crab claws around here...

The only thing I ever eat there is sushi and only when Yoshi is rolling.
